This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.
While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Don't you think trailers are abusing us ?
2 years 5 months ago
"But aren't moview more than just actions shown on trailers? I mean, trailers can't tell you the whole story, can it? Sure, there are movies that looked great on trailer but don't have much when you actually watch it, but I think trailers in general are meant to attract you to the movie, not to spoil you of the exciting stuff.. I personally like to compare the trailer with the actual movie, because often times the scenes they give different feelings and they make more sense..I enjoy a movie as long as it has a good storyline, so trailers don't bother me much..
I think it's different for everyone:)"

how to quit smoking
2 years 5 months ago
"I quit smoking about 5 years ago after about 5 years of smoking. I used smoke almost 2 packs a aday.One thing I can tell you is that nothing is going to work unless you REALLY REALLY want to quit.
You can't say that you're going to smoke less and then eventually quit, because it will NEVER work.
I've tried that, but unless you stay away from cigarettes completely, you are never going to get rid of them.
Patches may help you, but you can't rely on them. It's all about your will-power!
Stay away from smoking environment for the first few months. I'm not going to lie, it was HARD.
The withdrawal is different for everyone, but it was horrible for me. My hands were shaking, I was constantly hungry no matter how much I ate, everything pissed me off, I didn't know what to do after large meal without cigarette, and especially when I was upset it was hard to calm down without cigarette..T-T
But I tell you, how long you've smoked and how much you've smoked doesn't really matter when it comes to quitting. My dad quit smoking after about 20 years of smoking about 10 years ago.
Everyone and anyone can do it - you just have to want it desperately.
It's hard, and you won't be "comfortable" without cigarette at least for 6 months.
For me, it's been 5 years since my last cigarette, but when I'm really stressed, I still think about it.
You need the will power that can control your thoughts from your actions.
You may still think about it, but your will-power will not make it into an action.
I think you need a strong motivation in order to have a strong will-power.
Don't just quit because it's "bad', but really think about it.
WHY do you want to quit? Because people say it's bad? That's not really a good reason.
Think about why YOU want to quit, and that will help you to have a strong will.
Good luck, you can do it:)!!"

"Sunlight gets scattered in the atmosphere and the stronger waves like blue gets scattered all over the place and reaches your eyes. Sky looks red/orange/yellow because it takes longer time for sunlight waves to travel to your eyes and now you see the weaker waves like red/orange/yellow (because they have to travel so much they lose their energy on their way and gets weaker).
yuk, how romantic-_-! Heehehehe."

Do you have any other interest aside from manga?
2 years 5 months ago
"Playing Gamecube/PS2/GBA.. ahahahaha. But only during the summer. NEVER during school year, mainly because I will never rest until I see the ending of the game I play.. ahahahhaa.Other than games, I LOVE reading novels. I HATE reading romance novels though. Except romantic novels, I read pretty much everything. I love watching movies, too. Only I don't like comedy/action/romantic movies..
Yeah, sound weird, but if the movie is soley on romance or only have action and has no plot, then I don't like it. And for some reason, I don't like any of the comedy movies..I just don't find them funnyT-T. I like movies that makes you think even after the movie is over.
I don't read graphic novels other than manga..
But I enjoyed Garfield when I was in highschool, wahahahahahaha."

"First time around I got 4.37 or sth and the next time I got 4.147. Yay~Are the videoclips from the video gallery for real?
Is that even possible?
No matter how much I tried after that (I bothered to remember the scores after the second time) I couldn't get it down below 4.1!!
Those people must be practicing keyboard abc's everyday.. ahahaha.
Also I think this is a little different from typing actualy "words" :)
I mean, it's not everyday you type "abcdefg-" to someone/for something, right? ahahahaha."

"I think there are people who generally like *talking* about things, and others who like to *analyze* things. I think Omni you are on the *analyzing* side, whereas the person who is in Minitokyo is on the *talking* side (although I can't say since I haven't seen the post;;).
I'm not saying one side is better than the other, because I think they are totally different in nature I think. But yeah, it annoys me from time to time when people *talk* lightly about matters that I think is more serious in nature.."

About superhuman powers, what do you mean? I've seen a lot of *superhuman powers* from Ripley's Believe It or Not.. ahahahaha.

your experiences with power outages...how you handle them?
2 years 5 months ago
"We had a blackout for almost 2 days where I live a few years ago (The whole city lost power).My house has big trees all around it, and man, our house was unbelievably dark o_O.
My family had nothing much to do at night other than staring at each other, so we just slept early-_-.
I actually read some books with a flashlight, and read some mangas in my labtop. ahahaha.
The day when the power outage started was kind of funny, actually.
It was during daytime, and all of sudden ALL the traffic lights in the city stopped working.
My dad works downtown and he's on forty something-th floor, so he had to walk all the way down to first floor to grab taxi (because subways obviously stopped working).
Everyone got off school and work early, because you could really do nothing-_-.
A sushi store that my friend was nearby at the time gave out Bento box for $1 each because if they don't sell all of it, then they just have to through them out. (Icecream stores as well! I heard some of them gave out free icecreams!)
My mom and I had to clean out the refrigerator and move some of them out to cool-room.
We couldn't cook without the electricity, and because it was summer, it was kind of hot during the night on our 2nd floor bedroomT-T without the a/c.
It was a fun experience, though:)"

Kare First Love

"It has a total of 10 volumes, and I'd say it's a typical high school romance story..:)Yeah I like the drawing, but about the "realistic" part, it may start off *normal*, but as the story progresses, it doesn't sound so realistic (just like typical shoujo series do! hahaha).
But I enjoyed it, can't say I like the ending so much, but yeah, definitely your everyday shoujo. hehe.
Have you ever read *Binetsu Shoujo*? It's also by Miyasaka Kaho and pretty interesting, too.
The characters from both books look the same, though. ahahaha.

support plastic surgery for beauty purposes?
2 years 5 months ago
"Hmm, I am not 100% against plastic surgery, as it can be impoartant in reconstruction of face/body for people with problems/accidents, but if it's purely for beauty purpose, I don't like it that much.Sure, if a part of your body has been lowering your self esteem and made you self concious all your life, it's not bad to go ahead and change it, and feel confident and different.
But some celebs go over board and practically re-design their face...which I can't really understand.
I mean, taking care of your skin and body to give a healthy glow is cool, but go under knife to reconstruct?
I don't know o_O.
Even if you go under knife, can you ever have enough? I mean, can you ever be beautiful enough?
Some celebs who don't age scares me a lot, and celebs who look different every year with wider eyes and more plump lips scare me even more.
Looking healthy is beautiful, but looking artificial is awkward."

What is the most stragest person you have met?
2 years 5 months ago
"The most strangest person I've met sort of screamed at me and ran towards me-_-This was when I was in gr.1 or 2.
I was going to school (I was in my home country at this time), and to walk to school, I had to go through this market place. My friends and I were walking, and all of a sudden, this man with red face (perhaps he was drunk?) stepped in front of us and strated to yell at us.
We froze, and then he started to run towards us.
We started running towards school as well..
I don't know what happened to him, maybe he tripped or sth, because we made it to the school safely:)
There were a lot of people around us too, as a market place should be, so perhaps other people knocked him out..
We never saw him again, but I still remember his red face@_@!"
