I'm Bored Part 1: The Rant  
As the title says, I'm bored. So I'm just going to do an update/rant post! YAY!

Warning: Please pardon my excessive usage of expletives. I may sound angry but no, I'm not mad. It's just how I normally speak. Ahh, and my grammar and typos, if there are some - then I’m sorry. I’m too lazy to go back and beta my rants. Lol.

OK first up, the Community Violators. Everyone must have already known about the rule breaking incident that happened a few days ago, and I know everyone's fed up with it but I haven't given my two cents yet! Oh wells. :P There were two sites where links to re-uploaded subbed videos on DM were posted. First was the jhive person. Personally, I didn't follow this. I just heard from a few people that the links were brought down and the jhive person apologized for the inconveniences she caused by posting those freaking links. I believe them (less stress haha) and just focused more on the blogspot violator (henceforth called BV, as dubbed by mmestrange XD.) Now, BV has done something more outrageous than jhive. She's making a profit out of the subbed videos the subbing communities have painstakingly worked hard for. She directed the links to ad-freaking-fly! Where every click earns her freaking money! Now that’s bullshit right?

Anyway, the mods of SNP, whose videos were also affected, found a way to contact BV. They sent a message asking her nicely to bring down the links and videos. The person they were able to contact claims that she isn’t BV but she knows who BV is and will relay the message to her. Easily enough, BV did remove the links from her blog but only those that SNP worked on. Yes you read it right. Just the links! Meaning – the videos are still up on DM! Crazy right?

Since some of the SNP mods and I are affiliated in some ways (and don’t forget, we were a team in STNR before it died), one of them informed me about their conversation with BV’s “friend” and told me who she is. So.. as STNR’s mod, I sent her (BV’s “friend”) a message too. Told her that she should remove the links on her blog and delete the DM videos too. That she is violating the rules of all subbing communities by doing what she did. I sent her screenshots of the community rules and the masterlist of the projects done by STNR. And guess what she replied?! She said she never fucking broke any rules of the community! Because she is not a freaking LJ user! Like who the hell is she freaking kidding? Her dog? XD

The fact that she (and her friend) shared the freaking links made her guilty! And she even have the nerve of saying that the videos were down when they just took the Arashi page off their content list. It’s still up and you can check it if you have the link (which we have). So I told her that the links were all still functional. And asked really nicely if they could delete them. Here’s her reply:

CRAZY! Really! HAHA! The videos on DM are private and are set such that they cannot receive any comments. Why? Why is she taking me for a fool? I honestly believe that she just told me to leave a comment on the video itself to get me off her back. Well sorry, I am not the fool she’s taking me for. So I still pestered her about it (politely! I did it politely!). She told me she will relay the message to BV. I asked her if there’s any way I can speak with BV directly and not through a third a party, so I could exempt her from all of the trouble of talking with me. But no, she declined to disclose BV’s identity. Claiming that BV received too many flames and was bashed harshly by fans who religiously follow community rules and she received messages like go kill herself or something. Honestly speaking though, she should have seen it coming her way! She triggered the shutdown of two freaking communities after all! LOL.

Eventually, the links on her blog was removed. Well at least those that are done by SNP and STNR. She still insists that it wasn’t them who uploaded the videos on DM, which is really preposterous I tell you. As what I have said earlier, the videos are set to private. You wouldn’t be able to access them without knowing the links! And basing from the number of views and date published of the videos, they are fairly new and recently uploaded. The views haven’t even reached 40. Just by those information alone you can already hypothesize that BV and DM uploader are just one freaking person despite the fact that DM uploader used multiple accounts. And I also think (ok I’m not the only who thinks this…) that BV and her friend is also the person. That BV = her friend. She just doesn’t want to expose herself. -_-

The videos on DM are still up and working. T_T I wasn’t able to convince them to delete it (cos they insist they didn’t do it). Saaaad~ But STNR dying was inevitable. It was coming and everyone knew it (well at least those who were involved..unless! I go look for other people who can do the translations for me, but that’s just too troublesome. LOL.) It’s just that, this incident was the last straw. It made me strengthen my resolve to just kill it and concentrate more on working with my mafia-nutty buddies at DNA and RNA. The links for the files are now deleted. I just ask everyone who has them to keep the files to themselves. Please no more re-uploading. 

Ahhh~ My two cents turned out to be hundreds! LOL. /dies

I'm Bored Part 2: The Ramen  
Last week, I made myself useful and dragged my heavy butt to Uni and met some friends. We all have different purposes into coming there, but mine's about finally getting my TOR so I could mail them to FCCPT and finally start the process of my credentialing. But as luck would have it, ML *the registrar* needed to fix something in my TOR again. She had to change some of the titles of the subjects I took for FCCPT to credit all of them. Wooaaahh and she was like "good thing you only came back now". HAHA. I'm so lucky cos ML can change it. Cos I enrolled those two subjects in another college just to complete the course required. I only have to attend the class once and take the exam two weeks after. But I never came back! HAHAHA! I never took the exam! ML is like a blessing in disguise cos she offered to just change the subject title and voila~ problem solved.

Anyway, after all of our agendas were done, my friends and I went to the mall to have a late lunch. We ate at a newly opened ramen store called "Kokoro Ramenya". And yes~ The ramen was so good! But I forgot what it was called. Lol.



Their gyoza was the best I had ever had! Like I could go back to this store for just their gyoza alone! And yes, I forgot to take a picture of it... AGAIN! Oh wait! I think I have a picture...Just cropped from a group shot! XD



Well that's it for Kokoro Ramenya.

Just three days ago, I received a text from one of my friends (a different one). Asking me to go treat her to a movie date but I'm super stingy with my money XD. So I called HIM (yes same arafes13 dvd guy) instead and asked if he really wanna go out and if it's okay if he could treat my friend too. Well he said yes. So the three of us met at the mall and went to eat at Ramen Nagi. Uwaah~ It's my first time eating there and here's how you order from them..


See how expensive they are?! T___T ...Anyway, you are given a clipboard and a paper where you encircle your choices. And cos supercess told me to go try the Red King, I did. At first I thought it was super spicy and stuff so I opted to just go for level 3. But I forgot that the base level of spiciness for Red King is level 5. HAHA. I still went for it anyway. :P And all I can say is...it's not really that spicy. XD I think I can go for at least 2-3 levels higher. I should try it again next time~




And here's what my friend had. The Black King. Kuroo. I tasted this one too.. But I forgot how it taste like. HAHA and to think it's their best seller. XD I also forgot to take a photo of what He had! Cos his order was the first one to came out and he was wolfing it down the moment it was given to him~ No time for photos!

I was thinking about having beer with ramen but I had mango juice instead. That's because he was having iced tea, and my friend was having pineapple juice! And I don't wanna be singled out. HAHA And as we were leaving the store, the waitress shouted something like "Guys, the guests/customers are leaving. Thank you!". It was said in Japanese and yes I understood what she said but I can't recall how she said it exactly in Japanese. HAHAHA. I think it's something like "Minna, okyaku-san okaerudesho. Arigatou gozaimasu!".

I think that's it for my recent ramen escapades. For now.
