{{ mizuki }} JLPT - still waiting

Hey!

So it's almost time for out results from the JLPT 3kyuu exam. I just thought of posting here this link.
Nyekk wrote it last year. I remember, we were so crazy about waiting.. because hey, we wrote it at the beginning of December, and we got the result by March?? So, it's the same this year. We know that the result are already in Hungary, we just have to wait for the post.

JLPT, we did it! (2009)

News so far: today, I bought my very first iPhone :) I was so pleased with my iPod touch, i wondered, maybe the iPhone is the mobile I was waiting for. So I bought one. I keep the iPod for a little while, in case the iPhone doesn't work out :)

Hope you guys okey

<< Nyekk >> Ultra Maniac

Hey There!
First of all, we did a little overhaul to this place, how do you like it? :) I am still experimenting with some stuff like the in-post avatar you see there <--- :P


This week, I will tell you about Ultra Maniac, a Manga by Yoshizumi Wataru! I recently finished it, and had a fun reading. The story is centered around a transfer student, from the Magic Kingdom, who came to Earth to study in an ordinary school. She ought to keep it secret from others, but she decides to share her secret with a classmate, and that's where it starts to become interesting...
There are 5 volumes total. The first 3 volume is more of a comical story, how magic can go wrong and such, in the background the neccessary love lines are beginning to outline however. By the last two volumes, it becomes centered around feelings mostly. The characters are loveable, the girls are cute, there are no incredibly evil persons here, so it creates a good atmosphere.
While the setting is magical, it is not the general fantasy manga, as magic is mostly done differently, nothing flashy there, no wands and potions. As the author noted, she never did a magical themed story before, so it's kind of a first for her, and that's why she did it other way around. But there are Magic PDA-s, with big RAM (Random Access Magic) :D Cats who turn into humans, and vica versa :3
And finally, the manga has my favourite "outsider" comments, made by the characters. It is when they make comments about the manga or the plotline, or even the author, I very much like those :P
All in all, it was a good read, if you have time, read it, it is only five volume in length. There is also an anime version, which I didn't saw, but as the author wrote in her free talk sessions, it is fundamentally different from the manga, it is more centered on fantasy and magic, than romantic lines. Maybe I will watch that, too. :)

{{ mizuki }} One Piece figures

Hello!

So I have been told to "hell, post something on your blog, will ya?", or something like that. So I decided to post about the figures I got recently. I did promise this, so it's time :)

I couldn't take good pictures with my own camera, so I borrowed my Dad's super camera :D
Well, I should have used some stand for this, because most of my pictures got really blurry :/

But hey, here is what I got so far :)
Usopp / Sogeking is on his way in Nyekk's backpack, so he will be in my next post only :)

First, Nico Robin. Her cowboy hat can be removed... well, i did make a picture with Zoro, wearing this hat :D He looked super gay XD


Franky, it was hard to take a picture with his face showing :DD because his hands are cannot be moved.. i know, i broke one of them XD


Roronoa Zoro. I think I like this figure themost. It is just plain cool and his expression is so much like him :)


And lastly, Sanji, the "love cook" :D with a removable cigarette.


So, these were my figures. There is still: Nami, Chopper, Usopp (who is on the way), Brook, and maybe Luffy. I say maybe, because I already have 4 figures of Luffy XD none of them are the same size :)

A bit about what's happening to me nowadays:

I got an internship at an American company, to be specific, I work at one of their IT support station, in Budapest. I like the place a lot, it is so much fun. The team I became a part of was very welcoming and nice. They care about me, not like my last collegues. The boss is the kinda boss you would always wanted :) I get salary. I wanted to highlight this, because most of the time, interns does not get payed.
So I will work here until 31th of July. By that time, I have to report what I did at the company, and if they like my attitude and my work, they can offer a full-time job for me :)

Meanwhile I continue to go to school, to finish my last semester. So im 2 days at school and 3 days at work. And I still study japanese with Nyekk :)

So my life got a bit busy, but I will try to continue blogging here ^^

Last thing, I think I will get an iPhone 3G :) I love my iPod touch so much, I thought why buy a phone when I can sell my iPod and get an iPhone, if I like the interface so much.

That's about me for now :)

take care

<< Nyekk >> Some photo

Hola!

This post will be replacing my last one, as it wasn't really an appropriate one. I apologize to those I made worry. I will now show some photos, 'cause that's how I feel like doing today :P

Ever since we started studying for 2kyuu (soon our 3kyuu results will arrive I think ^^), learning some 50 words a week became an integral part of our life. For this reason, I upgraded my aging iPaq h2200 PDA which I used as a Japanese dictionary. Earlier I gave him Japanese OS image, to enable written kanji recognition. Now entering all of the words in the PDA wasn't to convinient using the touchscreen, and I saw an auction about a foldable keyboard real cheap, I couldn't resist. A throw in a new battery from ebay, and now my study workplace looks like this.


I use a JWPCE for Japanese word processing, and the incredible JFC counterpart to drill those words.

I also wanted to read more manga and books instead of wasting time with anime and movies, but I can't stand reading on my laptop. I used my PSP to read manga, and it's really great, altough I still longed for seeing the full page without scrolling about, and a battery life that I wouldn't have to care about, just throw the thing in my bag and read on the move. So I got this:


It a Sony Reader PRS-500, maybe it's not the best e-ink reader, but it is so perfect for me, mangas (Sailor V-chan on the photo ^^) and book look beautiful on the screen which is so calm, it's very easy on the eyes. And I didn't have to charge ever since I got my hands on it!

Sailormoon was maybe the first anime I saw on TV when I was younger, and I taped all the episodes they aired on national TV, in spite of the horrible hungarian dub, it brings back memories. Not long ago, I got hold of the original subbed series, all the 200 eps. Here and there I am watching it, and I wanted something that I could wear, as a fan you know. I pushed the thought of a spectacular Usagi wig aside, and went for a crescent moon pendant instead. I searched for one a lot, as I wanted it to look like the one Usagi wears in the R series. And you wouldn't believe...Mizuki's mother just had one that looked exactly like the one I was looking for! And after she heard, gave it to me as a present! Thank You! ^^;;


Under the chain is my beloved Korean chopsticks, I thought they would look good together in the photos :)
