Some nice pictures of Hwang Mi Hee during a Car Show:

Hmm... let's see I got an Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU an EMAXX Intel G31 motherboard, a wireless Lancard, 512mb RAM, a 250GB HDD, and a DVD-rom. No video card, no audio card, all built-in from the MB. Running on Windows XP SP 2. It's really a basic setup. Even the monitor is only a 17" CRT.

I have heard rumors about an ant man movie though. Not sure if this is confirmed.

Well, if it's not Sengoku then it's definitely someone higher than him. Based on the way the marine runs things, I'm inclined to think that the marines are being controlled by a single entity instead of the gorousei. Also, the repercussions of what the marines did only renewed the beliefs of the people thus ushering in the next generation of the pirate age. Since the balance was shaken, I'm not sure if the remaining of the four emperor would be vying for the empty space that Whitebeard left.

Ok, reviving this old topic because I'm very pissed, tired and stressed at the moment. This is also a way for me to vent out my frustrations caused by other factors. And when my second PC broke last night with the accumulation of all the negative emotions yesterday, I started to feel depressed. Background: Just to up date you guys, I managed to fix my second PC. Was working fine and dandy, after last night! I did not know what exactly happened because I wasn't the one using the PC when the error occured. Prior to it going wonkers, I iinstalled an epson stylus c45 printer, was working fine then. (since I can't find the CD installer I had to download it off the net). The next day I get a call from home that said PC has gone bad. So I said I will check it out after I get home. Nature of the problem: Well, at first it didn't quite boot, just hangs and displays error loading operating system. So I tinkered with the loose connections and now I boot to the windows loading screen. Only it doesn't load windows, it gives me a freakiing BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! At first it was a stop code 000021a, with a f 0xc00000135 error. Same thing when I try to choose "last configuration that worked", "safemode" and "safemode with command prompt". Okay, not good. So I decided to repair my windows installation even if it means I will have to reconfigure every software that I've installed. And yet again to no avail. This time the BSOD still gives me the stop code 000021a with error or f 0c00000080. Even tried the recovery console, but still to no avail. I'm depressed so I stoped working on it. Facking epson driver. (Sorry about the language, I'm just really, really pissed-pissed)

Well, I've read that they will make the first half of the movie setting in WWII era, and the producers wanted to make it look like Captain America as a man out of his own time. Would be cool if they also feature his first shield. I'm curious as to how they will depict bucky though. Will he be the wise cracking teenager that we all grown to know or as the cold blooded killer that will eventually become the winter soldier?

Captain America is one of my favorite characters and I'm getting really excited about the upcoming movie. It was already confirmed that Christ Evans will be taking the lead role of the famed Avenger. My question is, how will this affect the whole franchise of Marvel movies seeing that Evans already appeared as the Human Torch in the earlier Fantastic Four movie? I'm also somewhat skeptical about his performance since I percieved him as somewhat immature in his earlier roles. I was hoping that they would cast an unknown actor for the titular role. Also, good news is that they casted Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull. I respect Weavings acting skill and I'm looking forward to him performing as the Red Skull. Any insights?

Last batch of Im Soo Yeon:

More Im Soo Yeon:

Well, not wanting to let this topic get buried under, here's some nice pictures of Korean model Im Soo Yeon:

Kick-ass of course. Too bad that the straw hat crew wasn't able to join in on the rumble. I'm also sure that they are aware of what's going on with marineford. With the death of a major power, I guess the world is now thrown into chaos seeng that there is a vacuum in the balance of the world. Perhaps this was what Shanks was trying to avoid.

Here's another one. A cool thriller dance in the form of a Classic NES game Spartan X:

This is a funny one. Let's see how many classic NES games you can spot in the video.

Woohoo!!! Thursday! One Piece Chapter Night!!

Maybe the rival monster will be Kinky Dora, er... I mean King Gidorah.

that does look more like a dragon than a dinosaur. I somehow liked it. Though I feel the neck is a bit long.

Yeah, that's what Godzilla should look like, not a giantisized Velociraptor. I'd like to see the movie pitting Godzilla with the other legendary monsters like Mothra, Biolante and Mecha Godzilla.

As long as Godzilla doesn't look like a dinosaur and reproduce, I'm fine with it. Yesh, Godzilla is supposed to be the good monster, and only wrecks the city out of collateral damange, not actually destroy the city.

I think that "Kamen Rider" and "Sentai" is already an accepted vernacular, in which wiki is already proof of that. Also for the average layman, they wouldn't even know what Sentai or Kamen Rider is, and even if you still translate them to Masked Rider and Super Squadron, they still wouldn't know how to differentiate them. They would just search for giant robot and guy with bug helmet and costume. I'm inclined to think that the debate between using "Kamen Rider" and "Masked Rider" are being done by elitists. There is really no difference.

Somehow, I like this video. A retro game fitted and updated remix. Also, funny lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfSVK7k6Rew

Disclaimer: For those who really admire Sephiporth (from FF7), please do not watch this. This is a hilarious simulation on the daily life of Sephiroth. I really LOLed at this video.

I too find it strange to have sweetened butter. Usually when I use butter as a spread I'd add some sugar to make it sweet. But butter isn't really something that I would consider healthy. And based on wiki, clotted cream is just well, cream. It's just a different way on how they are prepared. Anyway, another way of enjoying tea is pulling the tea with condensed milk. Pouring the mixture back and forth between two glasses from a height, giving it a thick frothy top. This process cools the boiled tea down to drinking temperature and helps thoroughly mix the tea with the milk. It is also done to give the tea a better flavor. This beverage is also called the tarik. Here's how the finished product looks like: edit: picture didn't show on first post.

Here's a silly question. Over here, Iced tea is quite popular, especially since it was popularized by nesteas Lemon Ice Tea. When you order a glass of Ice Tea and request to have no ice, do you simply call it tea? About that, do you consider the powdered cold beverage ice tea to be equilavent to the traditional tea? For me, I consider them to be juices. But there are some establishments here that serve ice tea using traditional tea, with a bit of honey. I'm no tea connoisseur, but I occassionaly enjoy a cup or two, without any additives. Just plain tea. I feel that adding sugar, milk or any other additives deprives the tea of its essence and flavour.

Tea is believed to be antioxidants. So in a way, drinking 2-4 cups of tea a day is considered by many as a healthy habit.

Too much cola is rather unhealthy, and so is coffee. Well excessive amount of pretty much everything is bad for you. You'll understand that when you get older when it's already too late.
