September 2012 Entry

September/October has been busy. It's crazy. I'll probably forget some things that happened in September so I apologize.


=====09.01.12=====
It took over 15 years, but I have finally watched all of "Ranma 1/2." I think a few years ago I might have seen the last episodes some where because they seemed very familiar. Either way, I'm glad I saw all of it. I did watch the movies and OAVs again afterwards.

=====09.02.12=====
I celebrated with just 3 friends having dinner and getting ice cream. We (minus 1) then went to the studio to chill for a bit...and this happened, ha.


Afterwards, we all went to D&B because I just wanted to play some games. Nothing big. I wasn't planning to do anything originally, but a couple friends pushed to plan something for me. I was fine with that and it turned out to be fun.

Thanks to those that remembered.


=====09.08.12=====
Called up a couple friends since I had not seen them for a while and asked to have dinner and hang out with their kid. It was good catching up with them and I always enjoy playing with their kid.

On the way back from dinner, they got some drinks and there was a bunny outside the cafe.


The rest of the night was just talking while playing some "Wii Sports Resort" with their child. Playing video games with a 2 year old is fun. He didn't want me to leave even though he was tired, aww.

=====09.09.12=====
A nice outing for some dim sum as a belated birthday meal with 2 sisters and a guy I've known for more than half my life. Dim sum was good, but the service was blah.

Afterwards, the sisters and I went to get ice cream and we ended up talking for a very long time about a number of things. And if you know me, I do just enjoy chilling and talking with my friends. Thanks for the food, ladies.

=====09.10.12=====
Live on RAW, Jerry Lawler suffered a heart attack. It was an odd show for the rest of the night as Michael Cole went silent out of respect and the crowd could tell something not planned had happened. I felt horrible also and was just hoping the worst had not happened. Thankfully by the end of the show, we were told that Jerry was transferred to a hospital and was responding. I think all wrestling fans gave out a sigh of relief.

And believe it or not, two weeks later he was interviewed and I think we all needed to see that to feel better and be thankful that The King had survived a heart attack.


=====09.12.12=====
So Soundbox was being renovated (the earlier video was one of their last official days before renovation began). I found myself at the studio and was ended up helping with cleaning and more the first day it reopened. I'm glad though. Got to see lots of people I had not seen in a long time and it was just good to be around their energy.


=====09.13.12=====
I wasn't able to sleep much the night before since I was going to take my parents to the airport in the morning. They were going to the Philippines for one month. Not going to lie, but I very emotional when we were saying our goodbyes to each other. My parents telling me to "Take care of myself" and "Take it easy" has never meant more than it did as I dropped them off at the airport. What really sucked was that I got sick for a week almost immediately after they left. Being sick and alone suuuuuuuuucks.

=====09.14.12=====
Had lunch with a couple of SSF members. One left and me and the other went to a Game Over. My first time there so I was checking out what they had. At that point, we were informed that WiiU pre-orders were going to stop a day after announcing, which was just the day before. So we rushed over to a Gamestop and I was thankfully able to still reserve a Premium WiiU along with the new Mario and "ZombiU."

We went back to my place to play some old school NES games before he left to get ready for work. And then I stayed up a little before deciding to take a nap. By that time, I had been awake for 40 consecutive hours. Man, was I tired.

=====09.18.12=====
I had mentioned in the last entry that my internet had been running slow . Well, we got a cable guy to come out and check out what was wrong. Thankfully, he fixed things and I can now upload/download at a great speed. I do have an extra hole in my ceiling, but it was worth it.

=====09.23.12=====
I decided to finally play "Metroid Fusion," which I got for free through the 3DS Ambassador Program. I was immediately sucked in and ended up beating it 3 days later. 5 out of 5. Very linear, but a solid game throughout. Plus having played this after Other M, I read all her dialogues/monologues in her Other M voice.

=====09.25.12=====
Hung out with another SSF member for lunch again. Ended up going to Best Buy after to buy "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1." We watched that at his place and it was fantastic. 5 out of 5 as well. A must watch for any Batman fan. And I can't wait for part 2 next year.

=====09.29.12=====
So some plans had been formed throughout the month (maybe starting in August), but I went to the studio to meet up with a couple people to talk plans. Unfortunately he forgot and we rescheduled for later at night. I just had to find out what to do for the rest of the day. Ran into BS before leaving and quickly chatted with her (always good seeing her). I then went to Game Over hoping to find an SNES. They had one, but it was awfully discolored (got a normal one cheaper off eBay days later). Then I went to Fry's because...I don't know...I just had not been there in a while and I couldn't think of anywhere else to go. Next was the Galleria where I walked around and played the Technica game that had Kara songs in it. A couple of quinceanera girls talked to me afterwards since they were Kpop fans and were hoping there were more than Kara songs on the game, ha. Went back home to rest for an hour before heading out to meet up and discuss at Tofu Village. Plans were made and we were set.

=====09.30.12=====
Met with some SONEs who did a bulk order of SNSD's latest Japanese single. We only met briefly and talked for a bit. That was okay since I had to set up for some filming later on.


Did some work for "The Game Fanatics." We shot a short promo, ate, talked about future plans and ideas, and even shot something new. Can't wait for this new content to be aired.

=====WingedVoX, Royal Flush Media, The Game Fanatics=====



I'm starting to do a lot with this name. In fact, this and RFM work will be combined in the near future...or have already been. I can't officially say it yet, but please stay tuned and support me. Not only that, but all my gaming tweets/posts will now be via the WingedVoX name. Also, new Adventures are up AND I've started a new photo project for October. Please check all that out.







And as before, most of the latest RFM work has been in conjunction with The Game Fanatics. I've added some of the commercial/promo stuff we've done for them on YouTube and Facebook. Hopefully I'll get more stuff from others to share soon.




Still doing stuff for this group of amazing gamers. We shot the last episode of "The Game Fanatics Show" season one. Season 2 should be fun when we kick that off.

I'm glad I'm doing work for them and that they want me to do more with them. Better than before, which was nothing. Show them some love.

=====Final Thoughts=====
- After watching all of the "Cyberia" Super Replay on Game Informer, I know own this monstrosity.


- Happy 6 years, Natalie.


- I ended up learning DBSK's latest song. It's cool, but not the same solo. And this one can really tire me out, which is dangerous. I'll have to limit myself or make sure I'm okay to perform this if I ever do.

- I learned somehow that the Genki Rockets had released another album and I had no idea about it. I immediately started looking up the videos I missed and ordered the album. I actually missed that the repackaged one I got was different from the normal edition so I'll purchase the normal one later when I get more YesAsia stuff.




- Thank you for reading. Be healthy, be thankful, be loved.


Take care.
