Likes is like the "Wow" and "Meh, liked it anyways" but not showing the support of the post of the user put on upon.
While Comments will able to channel the feel, despite only on words, but, getting the feedback were much better than likes.
If I say, I post a picture. A picture always have a story to tell, but it'd be ruined with the Likes. Because the uploader would like to have comments, critiques or at least someone who tell him something about the picture. Sharing the interest or being comparative with another interest whatsoever. By then, people can communicate and socialize.
Instead just a thumb up; not saying it's a bad thing entirely but...
Would life gives you Likes as much in this reality? Or would you have a Like counter or something with you?
Don't take it for granted, but I personally like Comments more then just a Like.
As someone who been called as "The Man who Likes everything", I admit it'd disastrous for anyone out there rely on Likes for something to be achieved.
Show your support with Comments, not Like.
Be a Commenter, express your thoughts, share your interest, and support each other. Use the social media for the good and on the right way.
Most of the times, I'd keep things to myself; Would only share if it necessary.
For it is something rather personal and I don't feel like talking the matter to anyone randomly, just because I am so called "opened" and "nice".
My naivete would've caused me my entire career, nor life but it is the presence of common sense where I'd do my best to put my status in tact.
I am sure, most of you like to be around me but rest assure my dear friends.
Reality is harsher than it looks and the true friends would emerge from the mist of deception and misunderstandings.

Hi guys. How're ya? I'm doing good. I happen to feel like writing down something. So, here goes.
Last weekend, Animangaki was held and so far from what I heard, it was a success. Not just to bring Danny Choo and some foreign celebrity into the scene, the people of Animangaki (the crews) really made it happen. Kudos to them. I had to admit, I was a bit selfish and hid away from most of you guys out there. There's nothing personal mind you, but I can't complain. I understand the possible feedbacks but I'll go along with it. I'm still a call away from you guys, you know? However, I never dreamed my last outing turned out to be great. Yes, it started sour and I made a friend of mine pissed. Never had a silent treatment before since, so I'll ride along. (We're in good terms today, so I'm happy for it.)
I've never looked this cool!
As Sunday goes by, it felt like good old times. It's crazy for me to say this but... It was good to be 'stranger'. (Author's note: I clearly want to give all the credits to my girl.) I met my friends and some had hard time recognizing me. Be it like on Saturday where I wore a black turtle neck, with a pair of glass and a brownish wig which made me look that something that came out from Korean / Japanese soap opera or worse, a visual novel. (Author note #2: Self-proclaimed BL character) If only I shaved first... The difference during the event, I went out to a group who I felt bitter sweet, really. I've known them for more than a year but it just I unable to hang out with them often because, at first I don't feel like there's anything fun with them. How I thought wrong. For years, I've been let myself to hang out with cooler or hype peeps and I'd be marketable but somehow, it hit me.
The following might conain spoilers. Proceed with caution
Here's a shout to my beloved friends of Shin Megami Tensei Cosplay Group (SMTCG for short), you guys are always in my good books. I have decided to leave the group soon, and I hope this year end celebration, I could go at a good note. I made this decision not because of lost of interest or anything, but it's more to I need to go away for a while. I noticed Jon left the group all because of our fault not to live up to his expectation, but he didn't say anything about it and kept it shut. That's what I saw, but I don't want to blame anyone. I've seen it coming ever since the meeting at Swee's. If you guys happen to read this, I want you to know that you guys belong in a special place right here in my memories. You guys were the closest to reach that atmosphere and harmony of having a 2nd family. I appreciate all the things we've done and I am happy to be your friend.
Thanks so much guys, for the memories.
I've seen friends who see me as an individual. I'm merely not a passersby anymore, I think. On the event, I believe I can do something and I did it, and if people start to notice me now, then you're way back in the queue peeps. I've reunited for a while with good friends of mine thorough the event and I got the feeling back again. Despite the words circulating around us, it doesn't matter when we all are happy and together as well. Zack you bastard. Keep up the good work and hopefully I can get a fully desert gear from you. It's been my dream to get into an uniform. I believe you'd be one of the friends who can help me achieving my life long dream. Speaking of dream, my (otaku) dream of to be with my girl on a ACG event and had a (couple) photoshoot all together, has been granted. There've been achievements also, and for start, I gone through Ramadhan and Aidilfitri with her, and her family and friends. It's still early but, I don't want it to stop. I want to make a record and I really hope that I can make it until your next birthday anniversary.
Me & Shiki
Last but not least, I wanted to say thank you to my family and my beloved friends who never gives up on me. I went a tons of trouble and problems but I've been blessed by those who stick with me and guided me back to the right way. Mother, Father, Zul, Shikin, how I wish not to let you go. You guys have went a lot of hell before me, but you prove to me that giving up is never an option. By God's will, I'll strive my living and I wish to return those favor back to you, any ways possible. I'm 24 this year, and my God, I am truly grateful to be your son, and your partner. Thank you very much. I'm Khalidi Khalid and I wish you have a good day ahead and peace upon you.
How are ya doing? Hope everyone's fine. Here's something I feel like sharing with you peeps.
It's been almost 2 months since I last resigned my job. Now I found it difficult to kick start my career again.
I don't quite sure why it'd be this hard to find a job I that I wish to, but from time to time, I am beginning to eating up words which what I said about 'unemployment rate among fresh graduates' few years back.
Moment like this, made you reflecting back and reality checked back on ya. Harsh as it should be, it's a kick to my behind and I have to accept this reality.
Whining won't help me, so I got to move on. I hope for a better chance this time.
That's all. Hope you guys have a good day ahead. Cheers.
Sometimes I wish we not using money anymore. No more Benjamins, no more leaves, no more green, cash, etc.
It is sad. Because of money, we all split into groups that hate each others. Because of money, blood must be spilled and flesh have to be sold. Pride and honor can easily bought them who has the money. The rich gets richer and the poor gets slaughtered every day every second and every time.
If they wish to leave me, because I don't have money, fine. I don't have the money to buy the shoes, the suits, the cars and the shirts you all like to show off.
I am not amused, to the way richness forsaken those who feed them. Their own blood, their own family, brothers and sisters. Not to say the money you all have should be use for them, maybe a little but it would be best if you could contribute for their wellness.
If the money could bring happiness these days, why does some people suffering from it.
Just a thought. Any replies are welcome. Peace ya'all.
It has come to my realization that the pressure is overwhelming. Now I have to finish four tasks within less than a week.
Somehow or someway, I'm in need of some kind of motivation to help me going through this wretched period.
Oh how I really despise this kind of pressure...
But, apart of me is savoring this moment. I guess the pressure itself turn into an unexpected motivation. Hopefully it didn't turn out to be a double edge.
Peace upon you, and a very good morning friends. How're ya? How have you been lately for the past few months? It's been a very while since I post something here, but today I got some time to spare. :)
So far, life's good for me, but a recent reality check pulled me back down to Earth. I just realised that I only left less than two weeks to finish all of my assignments, and also I watched a horror show of Man Utd beaten by arch nemesis Man City, 6-1 to the Blues. But, that's a less fact to be concerned about.
What I would like to stress here is that, I am starting to feel like having a real relationship. Though certain advises given to me that I should be patience about it, but I could not keep it any longer. I do have aplenty of good (female) friends which I be fond of, but somehow the chemistry is lacking, albeit being a Malay, nor Chinese and even overseas. There's still insecurity looming there, and I am afraid I could not proceed any phases from there.
Though at the moment I am feeling, fine with it, but sometimes the senti-feeling kicks in at random. Kind of driving me crazy, and I need solution, a.s.a.p.
But, I'm still happy with my current life, and thank to God that I met such wonderful friends. I hope we can share again some other time.
Salam and have a nice day, friends.
Hey there.
Just wanna let you know that I'm back working out again, thanks to the semester break.
I got free times so why not I spend some of it by working out and exercising? It's beneficial.
Yet again, I still feel like taking part-time jobs. I should looking for one starting tomorrow.
Working out in the gym require lots of money (for the fee) and lots of self-motivations too. And I don't mean 'that' kind of motivation.
Derp.
When you're surrounded with huge muscular people, you might feel agitated or humbled by their complexion but don't worry, if you set your mind right you can work out along with those people fine. Just do your business and worry about yourself first, so keep on pushing the limit
Have a nice day friends, and look! It's already May of 2011. It's been 5 month already and I still yet to have a girlfriend. LOL
Never mind that. Have fun guys!
Although it'd be nicer to have someone along. Whether the person is a lecturer, a classmate, or a friend, this could be the time to learn more about them, and learn new things too.
Right now, I'm in the National Library. I have to say, the place hasn't change since I last came here (back in 2007). Still, the parking sucks. :P
Very well, I should continue with the revision. Sayonara.
Knowing that this semester supposed to be the deciding semester ever, I felt I've just screwed it up last Thursday.
There I was, preparing for the exam, for weeks I've pumped and ready to score the next paper, only to have myself, freeze and chocked up moments after I saw the questions.
The aftermath? Crest fallen. Big time.
Only today I've managed to forget about that feeling and focus for the next paper (tomorrow).
How I need some motivation. Anyways, wish me luck.
Nevertheless, the El Classico offers you high octane, hair raising, spine tingling match ever recorded in the La Liga history. The clash of two football great clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
This match also witnessing Jose Mourinho faced Pep Guardiaola for the first time as the Madrid's coach and tension could be felt since last week, and for 5th time (I think) the Portuguese coach met the Catalans in competitive match.
Building up to the match, both club's Presidents wished to have a 'fair play' for the match, where the two will showcase a 'festival of football' in the supposed match.
Festival of football? Bloody hell. Real Madrid got throbbed 5 goals with no replies, and got one sent off. What's that 'festival of football'? I only see people biting off each others' ears, but lots of goals.
Compare to what Manchester United had achieved last time out (the drubbing of Blackburn), the scoreline is pretty emphatic, than Dimitar scoring 5 goals. Then again, it's Blackburn, not Real Madrid.
The showcase of football ends up to be a massacre of Real Madrid, inside an out. Something worth to raise an eye brow at Jose Mourinho and co. With great players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Mezut Ozil, Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas, and to name but a few, 5-0 scoreline will surely cause a spat in their cv / resume.
Okay, I won't talk much about how the game unfolded, but it just sickening to see such display by the Madrid club. It feels like, they just lie down and die.
The aftermath of this match was, Barcelona leap frog Real to the top of La Liga table with 34 points, and recorded a superior goal differences. Real Madrid lies in 2nd at 32 points, and finally succumbed to their first lost after 13 games. Mourinho even stated, "by no means, humiliation" when been interviewed after the match.
Who weren't? Conceded five goals without a reply, got men sent off and arms flying and pushing people's face, even Wenger left bemused of what just happened.
For a person who wished that Sir Alex Ferguson to continue plotting for Manchester United in coming years, and form another intense rivalry again, Jose should be worry more of getting their revenge on the Catalans in the reverse fixture next year.
Let's hope for another entertaining title chase for the La Liga. What's happening in BPL have already taking a shape, as well as the Bundesliga (German League). Again, please don't write Real Madrid off yet.
As they say, the title wouldn't be decided by August, or October, or even in December. Still to early to call, yet still early to leave the couch and the remotes.
Football fans, rejoice! Let's have an interesting season of football yet again! Ole~!

You will see what you wish to see, but how it'll end is up to you.The Choices is yours."Anon. Mysterious guy: *hands over a gun-looking tool* Go on. Call it. Cal your persona. Scream out what you've kept inside for a very long time.
Me: *takes the tool and points at his own head*
Mysterious guy: Call it.
Me: *takes a deep breath* Per... So... Na! *pulls the trigger* PERSONA 3FES (above dialogues are just canon. xP)
I have to admit... This game totally rocks! Persona 3FES, as far am I concern, were up there along with Final Fantasy series. Heck! I even heard that Persona 3FES was a 'must get game' in PS2 console. Just check out the score cards here!
I got it, I've played it and I've finished it. I started playing the game somewhere in September, and I've just finished it, today at 5.55 am. I guess, it took me a month (:D) to finish it, but it was a relief for me to have finished it. Now I can have a good night sleep and more time to rest, and study. (lol)
So here I am, reviewing the game I've played for every single night since I started to play it and I have to say, it's a very exciting and wonderful experience. No, I'd like to call it, a great adventure. For only RM 5.00 (US$ 1.60, LOL) the game brings almost everything a gamer desire.
As an introduction, Persona 3FES is a single-player console role-playing game (with additional simulation gameplay), similar to what FFX has to offer with a turn-based style of fighting sequence. (If you had played FF before, this won't be a problem.) The controls are easy to understand and almost use all the buttons on the controller (it looks better with analog control stick). The game storage can save up to 20 slots, so you may try to complete almost everything in the game. To make thing interesting, if one is not enough, you'd like to try to play the game once more using your "Save Game" file. There, you will experience harder in-game battle as well new stuff to discover and learn. Oh, have I mention that the game have TWO different plots within?
Let's see... There was "The Journey", and "The Answer". Both set in different settings but still intact with the main storyline. In "The Journey", it's the intro and the climax for the whole game, while "The Answer" plays as the closing. So, if you first play Persona 3FES, start off with "The Journey" and finish it, and then continue with "The Answer" so you'll see the true message of the game, as well the main idea of the story.
Moving on to the game's graphics. Honestly, FF is more realistic but if you're into the anime-kind of design, Persona 3FES is satisfactory! Rendered in 3D gameplay with 2D (anime-ish) cut scenes, this game is sure fun to watch (and play). You'd fight in a 3D environment and most of the cut scenes were in 3D, but some interesting cut scene will be displayed in 2D. So it's very much a good art combo, similar to Megaman X8 (another interesting game I've played!)
Next, covering the whole game with catchy and interesting BGM! Oh yes ladies and gentlemen, what is BGMs to great games. Like what Nobuo Uematsu has achieved in FF series, this is the first time I heard of the composer Shoji Meguro and he didn't disappointed me, and other gamers as well. Along with singer Yumi Kawamura and MC a.k.a rapper Lotus Juice, the musics are just entertaining and fun to listen at too.
In addition, the in-game dialogues were well translated and understandable. (The original game was made to Japanese language) The English dubbers seemed to put lots of effort to make sure the gamers to feel like into the game. It's very worthwhile and hey.... You could improve your English here too. (LOL) The cut-scenes were presented with and without dialogues, yet it'd be more interested if everything were in dialogue eh? But, as far I am concern, the makers truly did a splendid job on the translation.
Despite the game uses mythological characters, some gamers found it a nice idea. If you are familiar an anime titled "Fate/Stay Night", you'd enjoy the idea of the gameplay. Just imagine, you beating up those pesky monsters using Gods from Greek myths, Japanese legends, Hindus, European deity, Chinese folklore, and more. Though, the game did not mentioned much of religious themed such as Christianity or Hindus, but there were deities from them being put. I just hope the info of those deities were correctly and relevantly applied.Even it's a game, it must not cause some stir upon the details of the so called "Gods".
I mentioned about 'simulation' gameplay early on and I'd say it's a great thing since Persona 3FES have NO mini-games! (They have it actually but not entirely related to the game itself). Unlike FFX where you can go Blitzball-ing all the way until the end, Persona 3FES offer simulation where you can have an interesting relationship with several characters in the game, which will help with your completion of the game. The best part is... You can DATE with other characters! Ya-hoo! But please be warned... It's not as easy as you think. This simulation and dating system will help with your progress of the game and it's something that gamers have to keep an eye to.
The settings of the game is quite logic and make senses. You're playing as a Japanese high-school student and live like one to. You eat, sleep, play games, making friends and as a 'Persona-user', you kick monster's butts. You're a like a superhero technically. Student by day, Persona-user by night. The idea of creating the game more Japanese is fulfilled as you'd likely get the idea on how to live in Japan, and learn how Japan's culture looks like. Kimonos, Yukatas... Oh, Sushi anyone?
The in-game battle is as excellent as the design. The execution of the move was done perfectly although some quotes seemed redundant, but that's not the case. What impress me most was the ability of customization, upgrades and leveling. It's simple, easy to master and lots of options. You are able to customize both your Persona and your hand-held weapon (swords, guns, etc.) to help you win the battles. Items like potions and elixirs were also being used, so it's not that different than FF right? Not quite... Plus they even put details about your weaponry! There are tons of weapons to explore and use, each have it's own strength and weaknesses, plus their own explanation too! Like, there's a katana with different backgrounds, and etc. Oh, the move set is also as much as the same like FF but, the game have more interesting buffs and debuffs move set. In battle quotes are also interesting and would bring you closer to the battle. Plus, the gameplay is simply using logic. Fire beats Ice, Ice beats Electricity, Electricity beats Wind and Wind beats fire, or so it varies. Oh... This game is not like Poke'mon where you guys "gotta catch'em all!, although the idea is very much the same. Moreover, the logic aspect of strength and weakness of the character very much display and carefully explained along the way.
I guess that covers the game. Overall, I am very impressed by the game and lots of credits for Atlus, the developer of the game and 'Shin Megami Tensei' series. I spent a month of sleepless nights in order to finish this game and it's a breath taking journey. You may wonder how I can cope with playing this game all night and excel in studies. It's because I'm just, awesome. (haha!)
There's only one slight worry about the game. The violence rate of Persona 3FES is not as much gore but the presentation probably too much for kids to understand, or influenced them too much to a point where they'd do stupid things based on the game.
Example:
#1: In order to summon your 'Persona', you use a gun-looking tool and technically 'shoot your own head'.
#2: Some bad language usage.
#3: Fanaticism over the idea of the game.
Even if those weren't a big problem, yet it's something to be worry if you have siblings or children or contacts who end up being obsessive about the idea of the game, and they'd scream "PER-SO-NA" or "The Death is coming! The Death is coming!". Hopefully, there won't be any case relating to Persona as much as Evangelion... (no hurt feelings ok? Click here) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, that's all folks. Persona 3FES bring the best RPG experience you'd ever have and if you have finished it, don't forget to play the game's sequel, Persona 4. My advice to you future gamers, don't stay up too late and do concentrate in your studies and life as well. (:D)
Before I finish, I leave you some of memorable quotes from the game as well my "all the best wishes" to you, my readers and beloved friends. Until then...
"The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yes, the arcana is the means by which all is revealed. Attaining ones' dream requires and stern will and unfailing determination" Nyx Avatar. Yes, you have seal your fate.
"Even we have another great task at hand,but be remember that student's no.1 priority is study." Mitsuru Kirijo, Persona-user. Take that!
"We hate ordinary.So we need THEM to make us extraordinary." Takaya, Persona-user. Thus we all should be different, in any other way?
"Time never waits. It delivers all equally to the same end. No one can escape time. It delivers us all to the same end. You can't plug your ears and cover your eyes." Pharos, Persona character. He got points.
"You are unscrupulous. As punishment, I will not converse with you for the rest of the night. Commencing ignore mode." Aigis, Persona-user. Imagine if your girlfriend say this to you.
and last but not least...
"Per-So-Na!" Main Character, you. Take the 'evoker' and scream PERSONA!
And we won it, by a goal from Portuguese Nani. Without Wayne Rooney. I repeat, we won it without Wayne Rooney.
Ever since his private life was revealed to the media (somewhere in September) he is no where near to the form he was last season. Not to forget, his form while in World Cup also raised some eye brows. Now, he's looking forward to leave Man Utd.
We can look at the reasons one by one, starting with the 'I want to win more trophies'. It's simply translated that he was meant to say "Been there, done that". He have won 3 league titles, 3 league cups, 1 Champion's League title and lots of individual accolades. This might be a hint of he'd like to join his beloved 'old friend' somewhere in Spain. (And I know you know where... :P)
Next reason... Money. No comments on that. It's proven that footballers nowadays will look after money over loyalty, respect and anything about the love of the game. Remember what happened to Ronaldo and Tevez? Rumors has it Rooney is worth of 50 million pounds now and some sources suggest that Manchester City is kind of interested to sign him at 200,000 pounds per week of wages.
The other reason suggest that Wayne has lost his interest to be under Fergie. This brought me how some big name players leave Man Utd over a decade ago due to their upset and disliking the gaffer. Sorry to say but I don't think it's Fergie's to be blame upon. Here's a list of player who got 'axed' by the gaffer.
1995: Paul Ince 2001: Jaap Stam 2004: David Beckham 2005: Roy Keane 2006: Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Efforts has been done and going to be done as Ferguson will have a talk with Man Utd's Chief Executive, David Gill and the result will be known, shortly? (lol) Though, Ferguson has stated in a post-match press conference after Man Utd's victory against Burasport that he'll put the 'saga' to bed and focus to Sunday's match away at Stoke. (Available in Malaysia @ 8:30 pm)
Just to relate things up, Man Utd's simply not at their best with all these speculation stirring up on the newspapers and fuzzing around in the news as well. The speculation is as bad as their form away and even home. Thus the resolution must come a.s.a.p or the team will have their chance to get in the pace with the leader, gone. (We're 5 points behind Champion Chelsea)
However, if... A really big if, Rooney leave Manchester United, I don't think it'd be a problem at all. Just look at the list of players The Red Devil have and they still have some years left in them to mature and develop into better and world class players. Not to mention, we still have Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, and veterans like Dimitar Berbatov (who's in TOP FORM YEAH!) and Edwin Van Der Sar to help the young stars to become good players.
We may see the end of Rooney, but there is a silver lining upon his departure. Two player who are now in a mission to get out from their own shell and silence the critic once and for all. Nani and Berbatov, let's show em!
Next match:
Stoke vs Manchester United (a)
Prediction: Another 1-0 victory against the Potters, Nani or Berbatov to score.
Ya know what I really want to have in Facebook?
