Quoted from BBC:

“Contact has been lost with a passenger plane flying between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sulawesi, aviation officials have said.”

The news from sinking ship at Java Sea was still fresh on local TV channel, now an airplane has gone missing.

It was rainy season right now in most of Indonesia. I think it would be normal if the weather was not good up there, but why there were not any warnings if the weather was bad from local weather post? Well.. disaster is disaster, what can be done right now is to find any survivors, not to blame anyone. ^^

Happy new year 2007! Nothing happened here, I spent my time this year in front of computer and chatting with my friend at Yahoo Messenger. At least I ended the last year by listening to 1. Mizuki Nana – [innocent starter #01] innocent starter 4:41. One of greatest anime OP I ever listened. ^^

Btw, my deepest condolences to Bangkok’s New Year bombing victims. It was very frightening from what I read. Multiple bombing at the same day. I hope the culprits will be arrested soon

And this line will end my very ordinary “happy new year” greeting from me. I’m not in mood for blogging now. My mood seems unstable right now because of my Internet connection. My download become very slow now. T_T I hope my parents will let me to change from current ISP.

Bye. ^^

My friend told me about this when he was browsing AnimeSuki forum. Prism Ark is going to be animated next year! Well.. I hope it will be good adaptation. ^^ Because I haven’t finished all the girls, I haven’t had any ideas which storyline that will be used in the anime version.

This is the magazine scan I found at AnimeSuki. I haven’t found higher resolution scan. T_T

More info can be read from these links:

I’m just realized that loading Dashboard has become more faster now. This is what I hoped.. faster access to Dashboard. ^^ Previously, it was very slow to enter Dashboard in my connection, because it was using HTTPS protocol. >_<

Thank you, WordPress! ^^

Maybe you already know about the Taiwan earthquake that happened 26 December ago. My deepest condolences to the victims. It was happened after 2 years tsunami in Aceh. I hope there won’t be any disaster like Aceh’s tsunami. >_<

The aftereffects from the earthquake is as you can read from the title. Almost every international link from any ISPs in Indonesia are down with those undersea fiber optic cables. Right now maybe some ISPs are already using satellite link as backup. I’m lucky because my ISP is not affected by this earthquake. I wonder what connection does my ISP use? I think my ISP international connection are not going through Taiwan or they were using satellite? I dunno.. ^^

From what I read from local news website, every ISP in Indonesia are using fiber optic as primary backbone connection and satellite as backup. After Taiwan’s earthquake, the undersea fiber optics are down so every international connection are rerouted to satellite backup. It was very crowded up there I think. Clogged up like a stuffed pipe.

Well.. this disaster is totally unrelated to my Internet connection slowness. As you can see from some previous entry, I already been suffering with this f***ed up 3 KB/s since I got my Internet connection back online. If I complain to technical support tomorrow, I can guarantee they will tell this Taiwan’s earthquake as excuse. >_<

It was very troubling to depend on another nation backbone. I hope in the future we will have our own backbone. Good luck to every diver in South China Sea who trying to fix those fiber optics. ^^

1. Hitomi Harada – [eternal feather ~THE MAIN THEME SONG OF "ef - a fairy tail of the two."~ #01] Yuukyuu no tsubasa 5:01

MP3 VBR 197 kbps ; 7,4 MB

Internet is very slow lately.. uploading 7,4 MB took time almost two hours. >_< The original FLAC was released by [LonE].

This is the OP song for ef – a fairy tale of the two. My comments.. well, I don’t know. I’m still can’t giving good comment in English. >_< Anyway, I hope you enjoy the song. ^^

EDIT: Ouch.. I missed a little bit information about [LonE]. They now providing the 320 kbps (MP3) version of their recent releases in their IRC channel. Visit them at #LosslessONE@irc.​rizon.​net

“We let go of each other’s hand and we came here following different paths.”

“That person… Come to think of it, that person resembles you.”

“Me?”

“A part of you resembles him…Yes… I can feel that nostalgic aura. So, my imagination isn’t playing tricks on me.”

“About what?”

“Just for a while… I got swayed by that young man’s story.”

“Won’t you tell me his story?”

Text above was taken from the intro dialogue on OP video of ef – the first tale from minori. (hm.. I thought the title was ef -the fairy tale of the two-?) The game itself was released yesterday, 22 December 2006 according to Getchu. This OP was fansubbed by [Froth-Bite], so.. say thanks to them. ^^

I haven’t had any ideas about this game’s story. I can’t read Japanese.. so I can’t understand what they put on the game website or Getchu page. (why not copypaste the text into Atlas to be translated?) ^^ Definitely, I won’t miss this game (and it’s CG pack). Why? ’cause Naru Nanao = WINNER. Naru Nanao is the character designer of this game. Characters from this game are very beautiful. ^^ Hehehe.. (what a perverted guy I am.. )

One thing that made me speechless when watching this OP video is.. MAKOTO SHINKAI! From the first minute I saw the video, I think I know who did the video, and my guess was right. Makoto Shinkai is Animation Movie Director of this OP video! Kyaaaa… ^^ I was born merely to see this video! He also did the OP video for minori’s game titled Wind ~a breath of heart~.

Ahaha.. I’m very overreacting isn’t it? Could not be helped.. it was too beautiful! >_< I very admire Makoto Shinkai’s works. ^^ Anyway, here’s some screenshots from the OP video:

If you really wondering or interested on the video, try to watch it on Youtube. I found someone who already uploaded it.

I haven’t watch the Youtube.. can’t bear its slowness on my Internet connection. >_<

Well then, let’s hope its torrent will be released soon. ^^ Damn it, after Prism Ark, now I must sacrifice my connection to download this game. Ah yeah, [LonE] groups already released the OP album on FLAC. Check its tracker or wait for me to upload the MP3 version. ^^ (again.. my Internet connection become more slower after that ‘incident’ >_<)

So.. what story I want to share today? Despite that I already RMA’ed my motherboard, I can’t use any USB devices now! >_< I have reformatted my C: drive and reinstalled Windows XP, but still the USB won’t working. Everytime I connect an USB device like my Asus Xitepad or Zen Vision M (removable disk mode), Windows detected those devices as “Unknown Device”, and a popup baloon from system tray said “USB Device Not Recognized”. I already installed the driver and my gamepad still won’t run. The same thing also happened to my Zen Vision M. Aww.. what should i do? RMA my motherboard again?

Maybe my Flickr page won’t be updated for a while. I can’t transfer the photos from my SE K510i. ^^
