USOGUI 嘘喰い　- The Lie Eater

I would probably pronounce it us U-So-Gui. High chance it is incorrect since I'm not Japanese. :p What is Usogui? It's a dark manga, meaning it goes deep into the dark side of human beings. It show cases wrath, greed, pride, lust, fear, and most importantly trickery. It's a manga about the underworld gambling in Japan where people can bet on their lives against one another under the referees organization "Kagerou." There is a lot of conspiracy going on in the background. The character development makes the story really enjoyable. The fun part also comes from reading their mental struggles trying to win against one another. The main character Baku Madarame, whose nickname is "usogui" (the Lie Eater), is the legendary gambler. As his title suggests, he goes around and gambles against those people who are gambling member protected by Kagerou and won whenever he caught their lies so to speak.

Farewell my one and only Nokia and just update..

Apparently my depression was getting so serious that my mom said I need to release stress and she said the best way is to express yourself freely on a blog. So here I guess I'll just do that. Funny how I forgot I actually made this two years ago. Now it probably needs more appropriate title but I can't think of any at the moment. It's not like I will stop reading about food or talk about it. As the matter of fact, i just watch the entire serious of TED food related presentations on Netflix before I move on to TEDx series (that's more on humanity, personal growth and some other social stuff).

Everything that spreads widely and identically (with, eventually some "mutation") can be described as virus?! In that case, a knowledge can spread like virus, hipster culture can spread like virus, cars, clothing, all the inanimate objects and ideas!!! The crazy part? A style is the life cycle of the "virus" because it dies out when it becomes saturated or after we decide to fight against it. There was A&F Hollister four years ago, H&M two or three years back, then there is now Uniqlo and SuperDry.... Neon socks and elastic headbands will surely follow. 2. 300kbs <- my current internet downloading speed .. I can't complain because it's included in a very cheap rent but seriously... Grandma uses turtle speed internet! Somehow I wasn't surprised that she uses it, I am more surprised that AT&T still offers this......
