YUI YOSHIOKA
I was listening to the song Rolling Star, C.H.E.R.R.Y , and Again since last year and I really do like em. So I decided to write something about the songs singer, YUI YOSHIOKA, she is more known as YUI.
YUI is born march 26, 1987. She is one of the many Japanese singer-songwriter. But what makes her outstanding is her unique ‘kawaii’ voice. She is also an instrumentalist, composer, music arranger and actress. She is currently signed to Studioseven Recordings and attached to the talent agency Stardust Promotion.
From what I know, she grew up in a single-parent family. It was her mother who raised her since her father left her mother before she was born. It was also her mother who gave her a good start on becoming a song writer. Her mother advised her to write a journal of her feelings. After a few years of doing so, she started to compose poem out of her journal, when she started high school, she also started writing songs, thanks to the good start that YUI’s mother gave her.
This awesome girl is not from a wealthy family so she struggled for her schools finances, she took a part time job to support her tuition fees and because of her "so busy" life. She lost track of her goal of entering the world of music. One day, she got hospitalized and by that time, she started thinking back of her dream of a music career, she was overwhelmed with the desire of making music. Because of which she came with the conclusion that her music career and school could not coexist. When she got out of hospital she encountered a street performance of the band Bianco Nero, eventually she expressed her feelings towards music to the band and the band advised her to join a private school of music. Taking the advice from the band, Yui eventually dropped out of high school and she started studying guitar and songwriting at a juku in her hometown Fukuoka. She started street performing at Fukuoka’s Tenjin Station and this helped her overcome shyness.
YUI started her professional music career in March 2004 and she is still active in the world of music until now.

I’m a fan of YUI since 2008 and since then I always want to write something about her. But considering the blocking of copyrighted videos of hers I was not able to put videos on the article causing me to abandon it. But when I checked on YouTube 2 days ago I was able to find a couple of YUI’s video so yeah! Lets ROCK!

To start 2011 right, I decided to re-build this website and start writing again. Since its new year, I’m going to write how awkward I celebrated my new year with my friends.
This is the first time I celebrated new year away from my family. I thought it will be a sad celebration but I was wrong. I welcome 2011 with my friends. We are at the 48th floor of this building and we watched fireworks together. It feels weird because its my first time to watch fireworks not looking at the sky
. We are just looking outside our windows all around the place and we can see colorful fireworks everywhere. Green, blue, yellow, red, purple etc.. my friends brought food for us to eat and together with that, some of my friends also brought some music player so that we can enjoy our the fireworks with music and food. Shortly after 12 midnight, the fireworks displays are over and we are now back to our seats thinking what to do next. I roam around and I smell something nice.. Yes its vodka I smell vodka. While waiting for nothing at that time, we decided to play Defense of The Ancient (DoTA) to have fun and to kill time. It was horrible, the computer that I’m using on that place is crappy as hell. But still, its not the worst. At least I was able to have some fun with my friends. After a few rounds, my friend gave me a glass of Iced Tea for refreshment. Without hesitation I drank it and I felt hot after (The taste is gross) and yeah it was Iced Tea with Vodka. I felt like I was slapped on the face after that shot luckily there are still enough cola to remedy the bitter taste. Not long after that shot, I was in a game then suddenly I fell asleep
when I woke up the game is already over. An hour after that certain event, I left the building and kept thinking what should I do next? Then I came up with the idea of writing what happened. While on my way to my house, I felt more happy after seeing how messy the whole place is. Paper trashes all, the smell of gun powder, Fountain Boxes all over the place. It appears that everyone had fun during the night. Seeing that place actually gives me some spirit to do more. So here I am writing while my motivation is still up and for me to keep the good experience I had at the end of 2010.
Well, I guess that’s it. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is totally different from the original series. Brotherhood is based on the Manga “Full Metal Alchemist”
Alchemy – Is both philosophy and an ancient practice focused on attempt to change base metals into gold and the hopes to attain the “elixir of longevity” or also known as “elixir of life”. It is the science of constructing and deconstructing matter. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. The law of equivalent exchange, the bases for all alchemy.
I am currently waiting for the 58th episode of this series and I guess I should grab this chance to say something about this brilliant art.
If you’ve seen the original series and thinking that “Yah, I’ve already watched the original series so watching this one will be a waste of time” Well, I think I’ll ask you to give it a second thought. The plot is way different from the original series. Brotherhood has different characters and different idea to tackle. I’d say both series entertained me in many ways and I can give this anime (both the original and the manga based) a 5 star rating without a doubt.
The Main Characters:
Edward Elric – Goes with the nickname Ed. The youngest State Alchemist in the history of the fictional country Amestris. Being a State Alchemist is equivalent to the rank of Major in the army. He achieved the rank and carry the burden on his shoulders at the young age of twelve and given the title “Full Metal Alchemist” Because of his artificial right arm and left leg. He may be called a “genius because of his elite skills in alchemy and in fighting but the fact that he is a kid cannot be ignored. Short (Literally), short tempered and with a considerable pride. Those characteristics gets people around him in trouble but most of the time those characteristics makes him reliable.
Alphonse Elric – Goes with the nickname Al. The younger brother of Edward Elric. As you can see in the image he wears a suit of armor wherever he is. But That’s not the case here. (Watch the series for you to know
). Al is very much different with his older brother. Al is taller, gentleman and better than Ed when it comes to fighting. Al is also capable of becoming a State Alchemist but the two of them decided that only one should carry the burden of becoming a “Dog of the military”. You may also call him a genius. He is polite to a fault. He often becomes the voice of reason when his older brother gets carried away. A brilliant alchemist in his own right. He is a year younger than Ed, So at the age of 10 he experienced hell and amazes me is that this character never gave up despite of the things happening to them. An optimist if you want to call it that way.
You can see most of the characters in the series by looking at the image above. There are a lot of characters that takes a good role in the series and obviously, these characters gives the power to the series to be at the top.
Right now, I’m waiting for the release of the 58th episode of the series and the 108th chapter of the manga. Hopefully, this series will run longer. Upon checking some articles from myanimelist.net, It states there that the anime series will run up to 62 episodes, but I can’t take that without reading or hearing a word from the creators.
Overall Rating: A

Yeah, for my friends who used to read articles in my blog. I do apologize but right now. I’m seriously busy with some other things. I’m pretty sure I’ll miss writing stupid and crazy things here. For those who want to know why I’m busy, I’m currently trying to study how to work with adobe premiere pro 2.0 . Yes I’m trying to make some videos. And I hope I will be able to publish my work in youtube or somewhere else. I’m also improving my skills in photoshop and programming. I hope someday my addiction to pangya and animes will come back.
I would like to take this chance to say thank you to all my friends in real life and in Pangya. I am really greatful that I have friends like you guys. You’re the best! This is not goodbye I just want to improve in some ways. I don’t want to spend my time improving my chipping skills anymore. I need to improve the skills I have that I can make use of someday. Well, I hope you can understand. When I come back. I will be adding a category that talks about things that I notice happening outside my room. I’m really looking forward to write about that.
Now, I guess I should go to bed. I need to be up 5am tomorrow.
SEE YA LATER GUYS!
