Somewhat of a cold/hot day today. Still watchin' my little brother. Got some stuff to take care of later today. Can't tell what though.



Currently listenin' to the song "Incomplete" by the Backstreet Boys.



Their next album arrives on Jul. 14th.



After listenin' to some of them...it occured to me that this might be their best album yet.

Another lovely day. My dad has the day off...and..I just bought a pre-owned ver. of FFX & I also got a reserved Arc the Lad game yesterday.



FFX is a very interesting game methinks.



Oh...and I also got the latest album of the Backstreet Boys, called "Never Gone". I already listenend to 4 of the songs & the last one, which is the same as the album title. I was SO moved...I was already on the verge of tears. *sniffles*. (thinks: Totemo kirei). (I know...I'm a huge sap.) ^_^; (Can't help it though.)

Just came back from stayin' at Shiro-kun's place for like...4-5 hours. Had lunch...then we mostly focused on FFX, which of course...is gettin' REALLY good. That blitzball game is SO freakin' hard & confusing. But of course...it's nothing compared to what I'm going to face against later. Already regrouped w/Auron, got some good items...and...it's a lot harder to get more sphere levels. I forget where I am right now, but...I already have 2 aeons, &...I'm at this place where there are chocobos, (which I remember when I played FFTA (Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance)....which I thought was a bit more confusing than the FF series for PS).



I've already got the title part taken care of for my book. And last night...I already took care of the characters...though it'll be hard for me to create the bios for them, including the ones for the teachers & the counselors. (Stories that not only relate to sports, but also about school life...specifically college...(even though I'm thinkin' too far ahead)...is NOT easy...(despite the fact I'm not even in college yet...demo...I'm gettin' pretty close...as long as I keep my grades up...and probably get a bit more socialized). Whew...talk about hard. But hey...they never said that writing a book was easy. In fact...it's actually a BIG challenge...and there's a lot of editing & re-editing, then peer-evaluation & all that other stuff for writers (like myself).

Not much happenin' except that I decided to start reading the book I am required to read during the summer, called "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold. Very interesting plot...and...luckily for me...and for the others...(that take regular Lit.)...we don't have any essay to write. Sounds good right...wrong. If you think reading the book is easy...try understanding what the book is trying to say, as well as trying to answer questions which sound like...confusing to me...(as soon as I read them that is). So...yeah...I'm going to be a bit busy this week (yes...that includes the 4th of July)...trying to read & figure out some of the questions.



As for that FFX game...it's startin' to get harder & complicated. (thinks: Not to mention that I have to do a lot of upgrades on them...and like...fast.)



The bosses are also a bit more complicated as well...(of course not much as that one called Ezera). (Which...when I read the stats on the dude...HE'S FREAKIN' HARD LIKE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)



(clears throat) *regains composture*. Other than that...I think I might be able to find a way to beat this guy...one way...or the other. (thinks: Now I'm startin' to think that all that fighting on the mountain has done me a lot of good).

...kukuku...if you had mentioned the questions first, then we wouldn't think that...



...I don't care about assigned books...they won't help me unless I take a particular interest in them...*shrugs* ...it may be a stupid thing to say, but so long as I pass it, I'm fine...



...*narrows eyes and turns away* ...unless it's particularly meaningful to me...it's nothing...



Oh...and Evrae will kill you if you think whoever that is is hard...Evrae one of the hardest bosses you'll need to face in the middle of the game, on top of Cid's airship...



...and remember...Phoenix Downs kill Evrae Altana...^^

Heh...how could I not remember that part. (Oh well...at least I'll have some time to figure out how to beat Seymour...problem is...can't find any lightning weaponry yet.)



So...I'll have a bit of a problem trying to beat those machina. (Considering that the elemental slot is a pain in the butt...trying to nail the lightning symbol 3 times that is).

At least I'm not doin' too bad in the game. As for Independence Day...at least I was able to have somethin' tasty for once, during lunch. (Crab & marinated chicken.) (thinks: Oishii). He he.



Just keepin' an eye on my brother for a while, while tryin' to find some videos & music to download.

Heh...not much happenin' except keepin' an eye on my lil' brother & also trying to cont. my summer reading, while summarizing ea. chapter as I go.



And...I think I'm near the half-way point or probably past it...currently on the airship (and I have a bad feeling about it too).



Also... I have a dermatologist appointment today, so...won't be around for a while later.

...yeah, you're getting pretty close to Bevelle to witness Seymour and Yuna's wedding...then you'll go through Via Purifico, and fight Seymour Natus, and...yeah...



...and find out some very very interesting stuff about Seymour and Maester Mika...

Not much...just watchin' my little brother. I also happen to have an eye appointment tommorow...and...I'm currently facing against Evrae in FFX (and DAMN...that guy's FREAKIN' hard like hell). Of course...so is Seymour Nust. (Can't remember how to spell that other word).

Evrea...humm...is that the huge monster torwards the end of Mt. Gagazet? I remember that being the only boss that killed me in the game. I suggest using all your summons right at the beginning so you'll be 'fresh' towards the end of the battle. ^.^

[Yuki Fukurou]

Actually...he's the guardian of Bevelle. And...I just lost to this guy once...then remembered his attack pattern, searched the net to find a strategy that would best suit me...and then beat him.



Heh...I'm not sure if it happens to people very often though, you know...1 win & 1 loss.

[Docs Fox]

Oh? Was it the one in the water?

[Shirotatsu]

...you...I wanted you to try your own strategy a few times...then search if you couldn't beat him right away...



...mwahahaha...1 win...and about 30 losses...ehehehe!



...the one in the water is Evrae Altana...it's a zombie thingy...the one in the air is simply called Evrae...



...oh, and it's Seymour Natus...

lol Oh! Alright, I don't remember boss names well. The one in the air is rather annoying. Slow and Haste are your friends. ^.~

Not much happenin', except for the fact that I had a different strategy for defeating the first 2 aeons (when I fought against Issaru that is). Then...I faced up against Seymour Natus...which I thought was going to be a bit difficult...then it occured to me...that he also had the Mortibody, so...that would...and also didn't...make the fight easier. The main party that I used...(was the one that was already set up for me: Auron, Yuna, & Tidus). I mostly had Tidus & Auron attack the Mortibody, & sometimes had Tidus attack both Seymour Natus & the Mortibody (from his overdrive "Slice & Dice"), I accidentally used the powerful Aeon, Bahamut...which resulted in him being gone, but...at least it helped me lower the Mortibody & Seymour Natus even more. Used Auron to attack Seymour a few times, but...his Flare attack really made me use up a lot of magic points from Yuna & items (hi-poitions, phoenix down, mega potions (x2).



So...yeah...the battle was kinda long. Nearly took me...1 hour 20 minutes before the guy was down. (And I only faced him once. Talk about annoying...sort of).



And...currently taking a break from FFX. (Considering that was kinda tricky).

What? over an hour to beat him? Ever consider the need to level up? You'll definatly need to for the boss at the end of Gagazette, and not to mention the Yunalesca battle in Zanarkin. *PS: Don't be afraid to let you summons die...they are easily revived after the battle.*

[Yuki Fukurou]

Heh...sou desu. Course...I just can't seem to find a decent amt. of weaponry at the stores. (Besides the fact that I stupidly skipped the chance to get a Masamune). *growls*. (thinks: I'm going to have to do that all over again when I start a new file.)

[Docs Fox]

Hum...well really...none of the weapons are really worth getting except the special weapons you can't get till the end of the game. Leveling up is the biggest help you can get.
