You'd think that people nowadays are being "caring" to others, they just love making assumptions about the life you've gone through, how and why it happened but they never asked question to the person who has gone through it. We are quick to judge and never have the sense to go and maybe talk and maybe that person just needs someone to talk to.
We all are being so individualistic, some give excuses as to "try to find their true selves" which I find is bullshit. For example, you are 24 years old, and you suddenly said that exact phrase, to "discover who you are", then what/who the fuck were you before that? You were a Hollow for 23 years? Or maybe a soulless body vessel which somehow God just blew a soul in your body and you just "came to life" after 24 years? I just don't buy it. We all have a purpose, you just need to be diligent enough to find it. I have problems in this department where searching the purpose as to what you can contribute to this society that expects nothing but perfection from you because you're not screwed up loosely on the head.
I am in this position where I myself do not know what I stand for and the purpose as a human being living in this world where Angels and Demons are waging countless wars and I am caught in the middle. Most people tell me that I change so fast from being this outgoing guy into a shy recluse where crowded places make me sick and nauseous. I myself do not know why and people assume as if they can read what's in my mind. They do not want to see what's in it. I do not want to see it. I wish my imagination is dead so I won't replay those things I imagined since my pre-teen years.
I hate being in a crowd. It overwhelms my existence. My presence where I feel like a abandoned useless soul locked in this limiting body vessel. I want to announce my existence on this Earth, telling people "Hey, I exist, don't ignore me. I just need a friend to talk to and someone to watch my back if I ever stumble on an obstacle of Life". Those times you will meet some people like yourself, but they are still blind and haven't opened their eyes to see the real world we live in. They choose to be ignored, to just let this Earth fall down to shit and hoping it won't get dirty. Well, bad news, you won't solve anything if you don't do anything.
You also get those people who overdo it, shouting senseless profanities with a hoarse voice, pronouncing complicated words just so the simpletons think you are smart therefore think highly of you just because you read those words in a dictionary just 10 minutes ago and used it once. I find these people a disease. Sometimes, at least the term Ignorance is Bliss can be implemented in this case, but to a certain extent where ignorance will ultimately bring ruin, but for those who talk too much, taking major attention seeking to a whole new level which can annoy people so much they just wanna punch the lights out of you. This type of person I hate so much. They pick on those who are silent. They prey on the weak and make others believe the words they said. I find it repulsive that these people breaks through the loophole where the fools have more confidence but the wise people hold their silence.
For me, I just wanna seek acceptance, and do something worthwhile where I can tell other people what is going on in this world, what is the stance of our human level at this point, how far have we strayed from the righteous path that God has given us to live The Ideal Life. We are blind to see the purpose which we are born to do God's bidding. Whatever else that we do is optional. The sole physical purpose of living is to survive in this world. You see, that way of life is boring. So, as smart and creative we have become, we create distractions to pass time by so by the time we die, it will feel like a heart beat. To survive, you need shelter, food and water. Basic things to survive. After that, you need to work for the food, you hunt, maybe farm. To add more people so more people can do it to cut the time cost, is to procreate. You have children. The children will help you with work until it's time they take over and repeat the cycle. That's the basic in living. However, we create some distractions in life, maybe adding games, story telling, arts and craft, you learn to navigate the sea. From here, to give the short version of it, we expand.
Fast forward to today. Living basically now it almost impossible as we have institutionalize and commercialize living. We create jobs, but we choose people instead of randomly accepting. We evaluate people to progress in this world, by education, from Kindergarten, Primary School, Secondary School, College, University. There are too many people living, we weed out the dummies and preserve the best of the best. We make education important yet we discriminate the disadvantaged ones for whatever natural causes that made them incapable of achieving a higher understanding of learning. We create frustrated people, those who are stuck in a rut. Those we vilify because they are stupid for not progressing further in life, being a Somebody just so they have a paper telling them they did it. We brush them off, and here, we have either two people, those who try to find another way to improve themselves so they can go up to the level of those fortunate to be educated, and the vengeful people who would love nothing but to destroy and bring down the fortunate ones.
You see, that is just one of the subsets of unfairness in life where how we tackle the problem is what we fail to see. Those who are born not perfect, will breed jealousy to those who have perfect physique, tall, dark and handsome for Men, short, slender and curvy for Women. People who are born crippled, they will forever live as a handicap not only literally, but figuratively as well. No one want to hire a cripple, especially the mentally disabled ones. When I look at it, these circumstances is what make or break a person living in this world where now rules of the human and the idiocy of the overzealous leaders rule for what they say, but not what they do.
I can go on and on about this philosophical stuff, probably basic theology as well, but I think that those lost in translation, are actually not seeing the real picture. I can sum it up as this:
You are born to live in this world to please God by doing his bidding and leaving what God forbids. In the same time, you need to survive in this world. You need to eat, drink, have a safe place to live and procreate. So, you work. You work until you die and your children will take over. In the meantime, you do God's bidding, by praying, helping people, no crimes committed, rarely sin and when you die, ideally you will be awarded for your good soul to go to heaven. However, doing the opposite, will result will be the other way down.
OK, it's not practical because that is only in theory. Now, there are too many distractions that makes us hard to concentrate in living this ideal Life. As I said, Human Rules, the Disbelievers crop up because the unfortunate things happening to them that turns them into Godless souls and probably mistakes you've done that results in failure such as misinterpretation of what God tells you as you are taking it the wrong way without learning the words that was passed down to you as a guide in living on Earth, and yes, not educating yourself enough to learn the Wonders of the World.
It's complicated, but it's actually easy when you see it. I hope somebody will read and understand this. It is a long post, I know, but I need to get these thoughts out of my head. I find it interesting on what people think and how they end up later in Life. Try to find the basic grasp of Living and you might or might not see it first, but eventually, you will.
This is the End of the post. Yeah, see you next time. My head feels light. Will need a rest. Thanks if you've read this far. I understand if you don't understand, I'm typing this as these thoughts come out of my head, this is not scripted beforehand. It's called free-flow writing. Well, thanks and Peace Be Upon You.

So, When Are You Gonna Get Married, You Single-Loser? Forever Alone Rant and Creativity Stuff?! (Day 10)
Oy! 10th of April already??? I haven't studied anything for my Department's exam on June. Seriously, I dunno how to start this post, but that will suffice.
I wasn't planning on even going to this topic, cuz it annoys the FUCK out of me just to hear that FUCKING question. Look at the capitalized word FUCK and FUCKING. Well, that will be the only time I'll type it in this post. You know why, it's damn hard to answer the question over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over again until you feel like shutting up and hide from everyone.
Seriously, it was my brother's wedding reception. He's the one getting married. Go congratulate him and leave me alone to do some work which are making sure you don't hurt yourself and also hoping that you are comfortable enough to eat without someone vomiting on your plate accidentally (yeah, still legit scenario that could happen if you ask me). When I go to these "old and conservative" mofos, those damn mouths just couldn't resist asking that question. I am sick and tired of it. No, readers, don't advise me what to answer. I just answered "Soon". That's it. I don't want to press any further than that and I just change the subject.
Seriously people, I am 25 years old this year. Are old people that insensitive to ask questions so casually without any regard of the person's emotion they are asking? It's not like I'm 35 or 45 years old. I have a long way ahead of me. I haven't enjoyed enough to even think of shackling myself to some broad. I just got a job and I haven't even confirmed the post yet. I am still building myself up, stabilizing and normalizing myself to face adulthood. You see, until I know how to do my taxes and even shave properly, I wouldn't even touch my manhood with some random chick's womanhood for the sake of marriage. I am not like one of those desperately seeking creeps that stalks women online, leaving ambiguous, double-meaning comments just to catch their attention. That's just disgusting, creepy and tacky.
Moving on, this April is a slow month. I was hoping something exciting to happen in my life. Y'know, doing stuff that can enhance the quality of life. Somehow, people are just douchebags. They like, give excuses after excuses not to have fun together and end up having fun with someone else. Screw you people that do this even though I don't know you. Yet. Seems like I will encounter these type of people in the future. I dunno. I hope I don't.
Few posts back I did mention on doing a podcast. Well, I AM seriously thinking of starting. I just need people and simple, basic equipments to start. I feel like if there ain't noting better to do in life, this will be my side project. I will do something productive in life. I will fully utilize my opinions and views on things I bottled up so long that even typing a blog post isn't enough. I need to say it just so I can use sarcasm the right way. Typing it, people will misunderstand, many of you are simpletons. I say, learn more or go home as an ignorant human refuse.
To end this post on the positive side, for myself at least, I feel rather free and clear-minded after being so foggy in the brain for so long. I think I can compose poems without that nagging voice telling me "It's shit and you shouldn't do it. EVER. AGAIN.". I was devastated and I almost quit my passion in poetry. Now, things are clearer that I can type this post, maybe think creatively to compose a poem and MAYBE type a short story. I mean REALLY SHORT STORY. My head feels a bit light from whatever that has been bothering me for so long. Now, I am feeling pumped with this new-found creativity confidence in expressing myself. Not many understand my art, only the person creating it knows the interpretation of his work and only he knows the reason behind every word, expression, and story written on paper (maybe on Microsoft Word. 2010.). Whatever it is, it's gone now. I'm fine by the way. How are you readers? I just asked this at the end of this post. Wow.
So, that's my random mix of rant and sort of good news. Hoping that some things will turn for the better. Can't wait to start this project of mine and can't wait to become creative after years of writer's block. Now, I iz happyz. Well, at this paragraph I'm happy. At the start, I was pissed as fu----dge. Now, I'll leave you for now for you to continue your mundane lives and become a puppet to someone else that controls your pay and your free time. I bid you adieu. May the Peace Be With You, for I am @LordRizal .
P.S Don't get me wrong, I wanna get married, but stop asking the question, dammit.

Sad face, happy face. I may have faked it, but how can you tell? It might be real. But how real is real and when does it end where reality turns into illusion? Ooooohhhh, so deep you can see Adele rolling.
I Finished Playing Bravely Default! I'm Gonna Play Dark Souls 2 (Day 8 and 9)
Yes, I finished playing the damn game. Level 99, maxed out jobs, unlocked 2 endings (Normal and True Endings). That sense of accomplishment, finishing a JRPG, is just satisfying. Man, it was worth it. Can't wait for the sequel (I think they're going to make one).
Hey, I was thinking yesterday and made up my mind. I'm gonna buy and play Dark Souls 2! I am so gonna get my ass handed by the enemies in that game. I'm gonna be such a noob cuz it'll be my first time playing the game. I have no experience in playing Demon Souls and Dark Souls. So yeah, it'll be frustrating and hilarious seeing me die a lot of times. To make it harder, I'm gonna play as a sorcerer, cuz playing as a Warrior, Knight and Swordsman is too mainstream. But I ain't stupid enough to play as a Deprived.
So, that's it. I'm gonna end this post with a short video (Click HERE ) of me showing all the jobs I've maxed out for all 4 characters in Bravely Default. So, g'nite, sleep tight, don't let the bed bug bite. Goodbye and Peace!

3 Days Lost, 2 Days Feeling Tired, 1 Day to Rest (Days 5,6 and 7)
If you're thinking of something complicated about this post, there won't be. I am so freakin' tired and I just wanna laze around in my bed and read a book and just sleep the whole day. However, I have a job, a life to manage and things to pay so I am forced to get my butt off the bed and work. I've been gone for 3 days from this blog and I am being a bad blogger. I know, I'm not one of those "Oooh, I blog about stuff and show pictures that people will really care about 5 minutes and then forget". Wait... I AM doing that kind of thing. Well, at least I have the balls to own up my mistakes and confess that I sometimes bore people with m mundane life.
On the positive side of life, I am trying to get a bearing of my life now that I have some of the distractions out and done. My brother's wedding went on without a hitch. I met with many families, friends and some old, important people that are probably dad's friends. I had to socialize which for me, is something I am worst at. Only with my cousins and my good ol' friend that came to the wedding reception, I got to loosen up and talk like a normal person. If not, I'd be dumb as a mute next to my parents.
Yeah, talking about Talking, I had a discussion with my cousin and also my friend about doing a Podcast. You know, it's like a talk show but in audio. I've been thinking about doing it seriously and finding something more interesting to do. Something I enjoy, which is a discussion with my pals and an invited guest and we talk about topics the person is an expert and also some off topics and maybe entertainment stuff. It's like what you watch in Jay Leno, David Letterman or Oprah Winfrey, except you just listen to our voices. I'm too ugly to be on TV. So, I'll just hide behind my voice. Maybe if I can garner enough esteem to record the podcast and put it up on YouTube or Vimeo or something, but that's for later. I'm just talking only at this point. No plans have been made yet. This needs some serious preparation and commitment in starting a podcast. I haven't decide which type of podcast I wanna do.
If anyone is interested in helping me start this podcast, you're welcome to do so. We can find sponsor and promotion and legal stuffs. It's not that I'm not satisfied with my job, just that there are things I would like to share with the world my views or telling people about things about current issues, and also promoting people in making it big either in entertainment, academic or any thing that needs promotion. I'm open to ideas here. What's also important are the logistics and equipment. We'll start with the very basic package and start with baby steps and make it to toddler walking up to a child running.
Blogging like this is also one way to express some of my views, but people rarely read this. Yes, I confess that I barely get more than 30 views for one post. Maybe you people don't understand English or my mind is just to complicated for you to understand. I'm using basic English language. There are no jargon or double meanings to what I'm typing now. If there is, I'd explain it anyway. Some people are stupid to not see sarcasm or pop-culture humour.
So, yeah, that's it, I guess. I just wanna tell you readers about my plans to start podcast and hoping if there are people willing to help, your help would be appreciated. Anything else, it has been boring for 2 days since yesterday after my brother's wedding. I've done nothing productive at all. If you'd see me on Sunday, you'd wish you'd watch paint go dry. Thank God I'm not doing V.E.D.A (Vlogging Every Day In April).
Thanks if you've read this far. Stay tune for more post from me. Take this post as a 3-1 post since last Saturday until Monday. Hope you enjoy reading this post. It's not much, but at least I have something to say in it. Before I bore you with ways to say goodbye, Farewell readers, and don't forget to follow me on Twitter (@LordRizal). I'm more active there than in other social networking sites. I like interacting with people. It's just that I need to socialize in real life more. Human interaction for me has turn something alien to me. Alright, enough chit chat, see ya tomorrow!

When Water and Patience Run Dry.... (Day 4)
Hey readers,
Was an uneventful day today, the whole day of Friday filled with one long-ass meeting. Suddenly, my neighbourhood will have no water for 2 days starting tomorrow! Yeah, water rationing sucks. But then, if they don't do it, it will a hell lot worse. So, they're doing it for the betterment of the rakyat of Selangor.
So, I've stocked water on pails and took a bath. What makes me stressed out that tomorrow is my brother's wedding reception and times like this I really shower thoroughly so I won't smell bad sweating during the reception. I'm gonna be the "pengapit", which is crazy, I didn't know anything about it until just now! I HATE being told something important this late and it's not like I agreed wholly. I don't like being that person that shows his ugly face for other people's happy moment. I just don't like the fact that I don't get any say about this. I'm just pissed, that's the bottom line.
After tomorrow, it'll be resting day on Sunday, cuz right now one of my niece has the flu, even my sister. I just wanna go through this and then enjoy myself away from cameras and big crowds. I really don't like attending events that is so crowded, I become claustrophobic. I want an arm's length space to breathe freely and no one touching me. Human contact really makes my skin crawl. Only my hands can touch other people's hands, but no hugs. People hugging really feels like they want to crush your ribs and holding my back while I'm sweating is SOOOOO uncomfortable and you are touching my filthy, sweaty body. Bottom line, I really hate crowded places. The End.
So yeah, bit of an irritating post for B.E.D.A Day 4, but I'll try to be positive on the next post. If I can. Also, advanced apology if I don't make any post tomorrow. It's gonna be a busy, busy day and I'l sure I'm gonna be very tired, plus there will be no water tomorrow.
Alright, that's it for me. Gotta hit the sack early. Need to have a good rest for tomorrow. Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. Goodbye and see you tomorrow.

Bravely Default Review! (Day 3)
Hey Readers!
As promised I will bring you the review of one of the best games I've played on my 3DS XL:
.jpg)
So, by any chance you bought a 3DS XL or a 2DS, I highly recommend you buying Bravely Default. It is one of THE BEST RPG game (my personal opinion, congratulations Square Enix!) amongst other Final Fantasy games I've played. You can get immersed in the game like swimming in a pool of strawberry milk, cuz y'know, I like strawberry milk.
OK, the gameplay is a turn-based system, adding job classes and abilities you will get when leveling up by defeating various enemies. Like any other turn-based games, you have to use strategy, choosing carefully what to do and when you hit "GO!" You'll see your strategy play out. One of the uniqueness of this game is the use of "Brave" and "Default".
Brave is used to attack and to attack, you will use Battle Points (BP). You can use until 4 BPs in one go to make a full-out attack. However, not managing it properly will make your character vulnerable to the enemy's attack for 4 turns as your BP is negative (-4). So, going full attack is sometimes not a great idea.
Default is like the equivalent to defending, you take less damage and at the end of the turn you will gain BP. You can store BPs up until +3. This is a strategic move as some of the jobs use BP instead of MP for their attack. Player needs a good reading of how enemies attack and defend and use their Braves and Defaults effectively. Note, the enemies can ALSO use Brave and Default. Meaning they also can attack multiple times and defend to take less damage.
The weapons in the game is also unique in terms that they have their own added effects, specialties and also special attacks. The weapons, such as Swords, Axes, Spears, Katanas, Daggers, Bows, Staves, Rods, and Knuckles are effective according to the jobs that are used by the players. For example, a Knight is effective in using swords, Black Mages use rods, White Mage uses staves, Swordmasters use katanas, Ninjas use daggers and Rangers use Bows, and etc.etc. Special Attacks can be done by doing some actions during battle, such as Braving 5 times, Defaulting 5 times, Use Items 5 times, etc. You can customize your Special Attacks by adding effects to the special attacks, maybe Dark, Light, Fire, Wind, Water or Lightning attacks, Power Boosts, Elemental Resistance and BP addition. It's up to the players to add which ever effects they want to add that extra damage and benefits from the Special Attack. Heck, you can eve customize the text box for the Special attack (It's a bit small though, and you can swear. Shit). Where do you get all the effects for the Special Attack, you ask? Well, we'll get to that later.
The online side of it, you can Summon or Send a friend to help in Battles. If you have a friend that is totally OP and has played the game far longer than you do, you'll get some insane attack power and will make some Boss Fights easier. There is also another option other than Summoning Friends (Cuz you can only do that like once every 24 hours), which is Bravely Second. In my opinion, I'm not fond of this Bravely Second. Ok, it stops your battle and you are free to put some heavenly punishment to your enemies. Well, that's great. And to gain the Sleeping Points (that's the name of the point for Bravely Second), you have to put your 3DS to Sleep Mode for 8 hours (real hours, not in-game) to even get 1 SP. Like BP, you can only have until 3 SP. If you're the impatient type, you have to purchase the SP. Using REAL MONEY. Can you believe this? I will NOT spend my money for something I use seldom and I can just wait 8 hours for it. It's not that hard! Every game you play, they really wanna milk the player's money. This is so EA-ish. C'mon Square Enix, don't be like them, OK? Also, when you have friends, you can link your friends to your characters and they will automatically get abilities that your friend's characters know. The higher their job levels, the more abilities you get without leveling up. This helps if you're lazy leveling up 24 jobs to the max level (Level 14).
OK, now I'll answer the earlier question. There's also a side quest on the bottom half of your 3DS. It's called Rebuilding the Village of Norende. You need people in your village to start building the city. To gain villagers, you either use Street Pass, use Friends who are playing the game or pick up random players when you Update Data. You'll get from 3 to 5 villagers and this can only be done once a day. Building Norende will give you access to shops that sells the Good Stuff, and by Good Stuff, I mean amazingly expensive unless you use a Golden Egg which also comes from the village and cost 200,000pg! As I said earlier, patience is key in this game. The more villagers you have, the faster you can level up the shops to gain access to some sweet equipment. The effects for your Special Attack is free though, but it takes up a heck lot of time to build. Some may take 99 Hours! However, that time can be cut down if you put more villagers to work on that upgrade.
As I mentioned there are 24 jobs in Bravely Default. Some of it, you will gain from the main story and some of it are optional, sub-scenarios that you can do at any time you want. Every job has its specialty and to gain level, jobs has its own Job Points. It is separated from Experience Points, which levels up your character. JP, or Job Points, are earned way less than EPs. Sometimes you get frustrated in leveling up certain jobs as it is way slow and little JPs earned in battle. To speed it, there is an ability called JP Up, that increases your JP earned after battle. You can also buy a Growth Egg to gain double EXP, which you can get from upgrading a shop in Norende, and bought from the Adventurer, for a whopping 500,000pg! Yep, keep making money. No money, no honey. There are many ways to gain money fast, but that's for you to figure it out.
Alright, straight to the story. Well... how can I say this. It's a bit cliche and the same for all Final Fantasy games you've played. 4 people have to save the world from the Darkness. You have to awaken crystals to banish the darkness. However, for a game that makes the characters look cute and cuddly, it has some dark side to it. Death is something casual. Some of the enemies are downright cruel. BETRAYAL is a big thing in this game. Somewhere in the game, you will try to literally, I mean LITERALLY want to go in the game and kill that character yourself (Stupid, I KILL YOU!). The storyline overall is kind of OK in a sense that it makes players delve into the mystery of the Crystal Orthodoxy and Anti-crystalism arc of the game. I won't elaborate the story, you have to buy and play it yourself.
The voice acting, for me, is above average. However, the the voice directing, of maybe the script itself, is very funny. I mean, hilarious! It's not a joke, but the way they pronounce some words, or the expression, is just... I dunno, too straight? I mean, a fake Spanish, French accent is bad enough, but saying in anger "Mrgrgr" as in "MER-GER-GER" is just dumb. The relationship between the characters is kinda cute though. Love here, crush there. It's like your first time in love as a teenager. Shy shy cat one! Hahah!
Also, a side-note here, the Options in the game is also useful. You can gain or lessen the encounter rate of random battles and increase or decrease the difficulty. You can speed up the subtitle text too (in this case, I am impatient).
Now, for the aesthetic part of the game: Soundtrack and graphics. For me, graphics ain't everything as long as the game itself is fun and immersive to the player. The 3D for this game is just eye-candy, and it's totally optional to play it ith 3D. For me, I get nauseous after 10 minutes looking at 3D, so I played the game in simple 2D. The soundtrack is BEAST! Some songs makes me so pumped up in kicking ass of some bosses in the game, especially the Red Mage, he's such an asshole.
One thing that's bit on the negative side, is when you can't explore more when you come across a cave or ruins which actually doesn't have any importance, but you WANT to explore it, no matter what. Look at Fallout, I went to a Deathclaw Cave at level 10 and I died like a wimp. It's that type of exploration that I want: No Restrictions. Let me make the mistake of going to some overpowered monster-filled cave and I will learn that I won't go there until I leveled up enough to kick their butts. Instead, I get to hear Agnes saying, "We have no reason to be here". Bitch, I go where I want and you can't stop me! But then, as you progress the main story, you will eventually go there, so yeah.
Overall, I enjoyed playing Bravely Default. The battle system is a BIG WIN for me. The Job System is phenomenal and the depth in strategizing your game play is crucial to survive some of the hardest bosses and enemies in the game. The numerous features online, like Abilinks, Summon Friends is very helpful in overcoming the tough battles. However, like I said, the voice acting is a bit sketchy and some of the stories were too boring to listen to, I just skip and get on with the game. The micro transactions, yeah, not great.
I give this game:
Grade: A-
Out of 5: 4 / 5
Out of 10: 9 / 10
Out of 100: 90 / 100
Out of bananas: 69 bananas / 96 bananas (Just kidding).
So, that's my review, hope it's useful and will make you pick up this game if you have a 3DS or 2DS. GIve it a try. You'll get hooked to it. Or maybe it's just me. Oh well. There goes my 3rd day for B.E.D.A. Thanks for reading this review. I bid you farewell and have a great 3rd of April 2014. Salam and Peace Be Upon You.

As promised I will bring you the review of one of the best games I've played on my 3DS XL:
BRAVELY DEFAULT.
So, by any chance you bought a 3DS XL or a 2DS, I highly recommend you buying Bravely Default. It is one of THE BEST RPG game (my personal opinion, congratulations Square Enix!) amongst other Final Fantasy games I've played. You can get immersed in the game like swimming in a pool of strawberry milk, cuz y'know, I like strawberry milk.
OK, the gameplay is a turn-based system, adding job classes and abilities you will get when leveling up by defeating various enemies. Like any other turn-based games, you have to use strategy, choosing carefully what to do and when you hit "GO!" You'll see your strategy play out. One of the uniqueness of this game is the use of "Brave" and "Default".
Brave is used to attack and to attack, you will use Battle Points (BP). You can use until 4 BPs in one go to make a full-out attack. However, not managing it properly will make your character vulnerable to the enemy's attack for 4 turns as your BP is negative (-4). So, going full attack is sometimes not a great idea.

Bowels, Don't Be Upset ("Day 2")
Hey,
I know, this is the 3rd Day of B.E.D.A and I'm typing for Day 2. My stomach until my rectum has been acting up this morning. Well, last night, actually. I've been going in and out of the toilet 4 times now. Yeah, it sucks.
So, 2nd day of April. It was a damn boring day to be exact. I had this idea about talking about Bravely Default, this game I've been playing and I'm addicted to it since buying it last month. If there's some free time, I'd whip out my 3DS and play it maybe 15-20 minutes, grinding levels and Job Points. Well, I was supposed to talk about the game, but now, this is all I can say. I was going to make review but I'll save it for today. Maybe if I can find words and how to use it properly, that is.
For the 3rd day, I'll be resting, today is my day off. I'm being the driver and chaperon to my mother and buy stuff. My brother's wedding is this Saturday so I guess there will be pictures on Saturday's or Sunday's blog post. For now,I'll rest a bit.
Thanks to those who are reading this. Sorry for the hiccup (and it's just the 2nd day). I'll try my best to string up sentences for my Bravely Default Review. Again, goodbye and have a nice, normal bowels day.

Assuming Direct Control.... Of This Blog Post (Day 1)
So, it has come to THIS. Hello person who is reading this, if you're reading this, that is. I have made up my mind and I will torture myself in participating an everyday blogging in the month of April, or as I would call it, B.E.D.A (Blog Everyday in April). So, hopefully, I will stay true to B.E.D.A and post at least something that is read-worthy, probably interesting stuff, in my blog post. So... yeah. It's not gonna be long, just that I'm obligated to post it everyday and I'm not a creative lad. Some short, some long post, some maybe poetry. Whatever pops in my head, I'll type it. Ready or not readers, here it goes:
For this first day, I will tell you something I love doing in the Internet:
READING MASS EFFECT FAN FICTION.
Yep, I read what other people write and their variations of the ending of the Mass Effect Trilogy. I stumbled upon one writer that did a read-aloud video on YouTube. I got hooked with her interpretation of the post-ending of the Mass Effect Trilogy. I listened until the current chapter she's on, which is Chapter 25 and her story is 27 Chapters long, and I enjoyed the heck of it
(Check her out! YouTube link HERE and fan fic HERE).
Aside from that, I browsed to many of the fan fics and I found some interesting stories there.
This made me psyched in writing a story, a short story of something. Anything. I try my best in trying to find something interesting to write, but somehow, failure is the end result. So, the highest I can go is just typing this blog. Yeah, very creative of me, huh?
So, other stories of Mass Effect fan fic I've read. I'm currently reading 3 stories:
1) Legacy of Shepard - The Engineer by Nightstride. (Click this random word for the story: MShep X Tali )
2) Mass Effect Reloaded by thebluninja (Click this random word for the story: Time Travel)
3) And Here's to You, Mr. Vakarian by KiwiSamus (Click this random word for the story: Turian Sex)
So yeah, that's it. Short and supple. I hope some of you are interested as I am in reading these fan fictions and if you're interested in writing a short story or novel and you wanna collaborate with me, I'm always available.
I'll end this post with a random picture of Commander Shepard. So, see ya tomorrow, readers! Hopefully I have something interesting to tell you guys/gals. Goodbye and Goodnight.

You can fight like a krogan, run like a leopard,
But you'll never be better than Commander Shepard~~~
P.S I think I'm gonna end every post with a picture, just for shits and giggles. Hey, thanks for reading, if you've scrolled this far.
