I woke to find myself beside
a button that would reset this life back in time
I could press it now

These dizzy, dizzy feelings make
me want to start all over in a whole new game

Let us call the kitties and doggies out to play
Schools are having yet another splendid parents' day
yet this undisputed prodigy will not be there
He already dropped out in Year 8

Damn this, damn this fragmented life
How long have we spent on wasting time?
For centuries, our lives have been damned
Forever meant to suffer in this Neverland

My brain will short out, Kaiba-sensei
while staring at these hands that have been scraped
I know I can make it alright
Just press this button to reset our lives

I woke to find myself beside
a button that would reset this life back in time
I could press it now

Oh my, oh my, you're blinded by
sweet juices but you gotta put these silly jokes behind

I'm civil and resentful, and can act to the extreme
Moderation isn't in my vocabulary
I've confessed three thousand times already in this life
Answer's always "You are not my type"

Damn this, damn this fragmented life
How long have we spent on wasting time
Was once imprisoned in that Neverland
but not that I look back at it I start to laugh

I'll be warped out soon, Kaiba-sensei
Please save me now before I've gone away
I know I can make it all right
Just press this button to reset our lives

[Instrumental break]

Over the three thousand years of bluffing in this world
we've been fooled three million times. It's really quite absurd.
Have we lost the sight of the dreams that we once had?
Wabababababa

Damn this, damn this fragmented life
I still hear the ringing in my mind
Ah, back then I wish someone had
just scolded me like this before I lost my head

Damn this, damn this fragmented life
How many trillion years we've wasted time?
It's cold, it's cold, please don't leave me here
The answer's on my tongue, I can just feel it's here

Kaiba-sensei, Kaiba-sensei
The scrapes, they have the answers that I crave
I just found it, I found it here

6 million 5 hundred 30 million 1 hundred
24 thousand 7 hundred 10
Those years have passed, we are near the end
The first train will arrive there when it's 5 AM

Kaiba-sensei, Kaiba-sensei
Without me, still the world is here to stay
Surely, surely, this is the case:
The answer is I need to go away

English lyrics by кran
Revised by Ashe (http://www.youtube.com/Ashestoashesjc)

As you scribble off the pain and sadness
in the corner of your heart, you're praying for eternity
You sketch upon the canvas, shaking

Your body falls apart, you're lying down
surrendering to hopes that you can run from this reality
Go somewhere far away

I am just barely here
with a smile that cannot reach you and although that pains me so,
I'm alright with that now

Don't you see that you are meant to be here?
Can't you see that happiness is right here?
With each changing day, my tears could never stop
If only these hands could wrap around me, telling me that we would both be happy,
then I wouldn't be cursing this forlorn reality
Oh, I've prayed...

Dreaming endlessly, confusing your reality
These memories, you had to brush them all away
As you chained down your gaze upon 'me'

"Why did I become a part of this defective world?"
I asked myself although the answer stood ahead
Then softly it was drawn before my eyes

No way
Could someone like me begin to paint,
With wounds that never bleed,
In a world I cannot concieve

The tale of you and I that was supposed to have no end,
softly you've broken all of the pieces
with a small touch that you have left
Until the hands of time have stopped, until that moment comes,
I will be with you... but only as colors on that canvas

There are things that you and I cannot change
Lies are spread around this truthful surface
I just had to cry as days would wither by
With no clue about my lonely being,
you can't see how far away you're drifting
Someone please stop those hands,
please stop those hands from painting this
Oh, I've prayed...
Oh, I've prayed...

心臓デモクラシー
Original by ミキト (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16773398)
Vocals by FoxloidShiroko
English lyrics by кran

Crying by myself
Simply crying by myself
Not a single soul could see the tears were falling
And if this pain turns into shame from the pity that I gain,
Everything has gone the opposite way

Always in this heart it's empty
Don't know what will make me happy
Disconnected to the point our eyes won't even meet

I think that Reason should be taken from this world completely
I closely watched for a chance so I could I could put it to rest
Who is that left this feeling? Usually, their lips, I'm kissing
Holding on to hope that our eyes will meet again

The bleeding colors of sasanqua drip
Wrapped around, I can't escape it
In my bitterness, under your glance I must
turn away

Crying by myself
Simply crying by myself
Not a single soul could see the tears were falling
And if this pain turns into shame from the pity that I gain,
Everything will just continue this way, turning

Gloomy clouds befall
I give an embrace
to a fallen angel gently
Drawing close to him,
I softly whispered this in his ear:

Don't leave me alone
I don't want to be alone
From now on let us become
so much wiser than we are,
so much kinder than we are,
so much stronger than we are
We will do away with all the things that bind us down

Now we're
Crying by ourselves
Simply crying by ourselves
Not a single soul could see our tears were falling
And if our pain turns into shame from the pity that we gain,
Everything will then begin to go round

Our hearts will then become just as one

I should apologize because I really don't remember why I was unable to. Gosh, my memory is getting all jumbled up because I've been on holiday for so long I don't even know what happened in the past week or so. @A@I've got to say that this past month or so has been one hectic one.

I've got to say that this past month or so has been one hectic one. I've been dealing with getting my HK A-Level results, university applications and trying to find a summer job that allows me to have a balance of experience plus free time to actually enjoy my vacation. Basically, I've been preparing documents for applications, going to interviews and attending talks (mostly for university stuff because I haven't been able to find a job I can apply for yet). I applied for an online internship a while back and didn't get it. Now, I'm probably going to be applying for an internship at a local English website, so I'm currently fixing up my CV and cover letter. Just a lot of paperwork.

You know that point in time when you think you'll never have to deal with adult stuff or ever reach that adult age? I used to sort of think that way as a little kid and now that I've reached this point in my life, where I have to start writing up my own professional-looking letters, profiles and whatnot, it's a little surreal. Considering that I was originally supposed to study in the Philippines for my tertiary education and that it's really hard to get a place in university here in Hong Kong, it's even more surreal that I'll be able to continue my education in this city. I'm still trying to let this all sink in... I will be in university, taking a Bachelor degree course starting late-September...

It's really freaky being in the adolescent stage of your life, being in between your adult self and your "omg-i-don't-wanna-grow-up" self. It's this mid-point where you don't exactly know how you should act or react to things. In the end, you realize that time will not stop for you and that you ARE actually growing up, and like it or not you're going to have to act more and more mature as you progress in this world.]]> Slice of Life 2012-07-20T02:44:57+09:00 кran FC2-BLOG http://kran117.blog127.fc2.com/blog-entry-90.html Desktop wallpaper imageFor those of you who follow me on Twitter and actually read my tweets, you should already know that I received my beautiful new DELL XPS 13 Ultrabook around 2 weeks ago or so.

For those of you who follow me on Twitter and actually read my tweets, you should already know that I received my beautiful new DELL XPS 13 Ultrabook around 2 weeks ago or so. After using it for a while, I would say that I'm pretty happy with it.

Specs
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2467M CPU @ 1.60GHz (4 CPUs), ~1.6GHz
Memory: 4GB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Video card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
Sound: High Definition Audio + Waves MaxxAudio® 4

Pros
- Whole design of laptop is very sleek
- Really light and easy to carry around, especially when I suddenly have to move my laptop to another location in my house
- The display of the screen is very clear and is good for watching movies
- Has a USB 3.0 port for high-speed transfers
- Boots up in around 8 seconds, just as the DELL website said it would
- Back-lit keyboard has the right amount of brightness and doesn't hurt the eyes
- Software for built-in webcam comes with a variety of effects and the ability to share your screen, so you don't have to download any third-party software when screen-sharing. (Great for live streaming!)
- Quality of sound is great: the Waves enhancements do their job well and the DELL Audio controller provides a lot of customizations that allow you to control the sound that comes out of your laptop speakers/headphones
- Provides a lot of options for battery management

Cons
- You can feel heat on the keyboard after using the laptop for more than an hour or so
- Sweat and dirt stick very easily to the surface of the keyboard; need to wipe it frequently
- When looking at the screen from certain angles, especially from the sides, the screen looks like it's fading and unclear
- The sound-quality of the built-in microphone sounds muffled
- The FastAccess software (face recognition software that ties your passwords to your facial profile) that came with the laptop was bothersome because it displayed another 'user' on the login screen that could not be removed unless the software was uninstalled
- There was an audio distortion issue that came with enabling Net Guard on McAfee
(I had the same issue with our XPS 8300 Desktop computer. Not sure if this is a DELL thing or just an issue with incompatible software but disabling Net Guard solved the issue quickly)
- There are only two USB ports, so you'll need to buy an extension if you need to plug in more than two devices and this can get pretty messy
- No CD drive or SD card reader, need to buy an external one

(I've only been using it while it's plugged to a source of electricity, so I can't comment on the battery life just yet. Will probably update this in the future)]]> Toys and Electronics 2012-07-06T23:14:54+09:00 кran FC2-BLOG
