Essential Software

When you have a computer with an internet connection, the basic software that you will need are anti-virus programs and anti-spyware programs. To know more about PCs, see PCWorld . I would recommend avast! 5. I haven't had much problems with it, although avast! sometimes marks false positives and can be memory-intensive. Currently, I'm using avast!, but I also use Avira on one laptop because an error caused avast! to stop running and I couldn't solve the problem even after scanning & removing malware and re-installing avast!. What I would not recommend is Norton. It basically screws up your computer settings, can't detect viruses well and easily gets infected by viruses. The latest version of Norton works better and has more customisations but can be confusing for a basic user. However, Norton is still a paid subscription program and it can be rather pricey, so I'll be sticking to the free yet effective alternatives, thank y...

And so, the other day, my classmates and I were having a discussion about bioethics, and one of them said that if she could select the genes of her child, she would mix Brad Pitt (for his looks) and Albert Einstein (for his brain). Well, imagine what would happen if the child had Einstein's looks and Pitt's brains... Whatever it is, messing with nature usually ends up with disastrous results, so it's probably better to leave that to God. While I'm still on the topic of kids, I'll talk a little bit about a new Winter 2011 anime called Beelzebub.  I won't go into a detailed review of the anime, because you can read anime blogs for that. Anyway, this is my favourite scene in the opening theme. Seeing a high school juvenile delinquent preparing a bottle feed is either the ultimate irony (a violent youth caring for a baby) or congruence (immaturity). Why does Zatch Bell suddenly ring a bell? For now, Beelzebub is doing fine with its baby formula...

Memories

 I hate my poor memory. I can't seem to remember much now, even my dreams. They keep tugging the back of my mind that I'm sure I'm forgetting something important. I know I had a dream yesterday morning, because I remembered it clearly then. I was feeling really happy. Now it's all a blank. Will I start to remember only when I get the deja vu feeling? Forgive me, my friends, if I forget. On a sidenote, I'm seriously loving Kimi ni Todoke . It might actually top Itazura na Kiss  as my favourite high school romance anime. Laidback atmosphere, realistic with bits of fluff, touching friendships... and the list goes on. Most of all, I love the main five characters.  Image from:  BasuGasuBakuhatsu Anime Blog Seat no/Name: 30. Yoshida Chizuru, 19. Kazehaya Shouta                       12. Yano Ayane, 3.
