I’ve decided, the Part 2 of my blog art…


I’ve decided, the Part 2 of my blog article “Halfey’s Most Influential Anime Girls of All Time” will be published next year. I still need more sources and need to do more research too before I can publish it. I want the article to have as little flaw as I could.

What I’m Avoiding


Generally speaking, I hate anything that gets in my way. Although I tend to avoid everything that I hate, if those things that I hate are happen to get in my way I'll face them because I feel like it. I'll keep harassing them until they get out of my way or until they follow my way. But all that has nothing to do with what I'm avoiding as per what explanation below.

Chuck Norris (1)

20 things that I'm avoiding:

1. Chuck Norris

He is the sum of all fears. Nobody in the right mind would voluntarily face him unless you're ready to be roundhouse-kicked out from this universe to another dimension. By the way he is the only one here that I avoid not because I hate him but rather because he's too awesome.

2. Gays (that includes lesbos, yaoi and yuri)

Because I'll never know when they will assault me. Actually all gays should never be born in the first place because it's hypocritical if you are happy for being born but you yourself will never reproduce with your same-sex partner.

3. Atheists (and/or free thinkers, but not including pagans)

All they're doing is bitching and complaining and whining about God laws governing them, such as restrictions for gay marriage. Heck! Marriage is a religion thing to begin with so why must they being noisy about it when it has nothing to do with what they believe?

4. iFags (a.k.a. Apple fanboys/loyalists)

They think they are special just because they own a Mac/iPod/iPhone/iPad. Well, I'm not stylish (or stupid) enough to own iProducts. Even my T-shirts are bought from roadside stalls where I can get 3 for only 10 bucks.

5. Facebook

Although I used to be a Fagsbook user too it doesn't mean I love it to the point that I will never leave it. With tons of online doppelgangers inside it can be too annoying when people keep mistaking me as their acquaintance.

6. Feminazi

I don't mind with feminists if they keep it to the moderate level but most of the time those extremists feminazis will relate everything that seems not favoring their kind as "discrimination against women" even if it's just a simple thing like a guy trying to correct his girlfriend's mistakes by telling her what she's supposed to do (purely from his point of view, without resorting to any violence at all).

7. CLI (it stands for Command Line Interface, not the cli that you know)

I don't see any reason to prefer CLI over GUI (Graphical User Interface) when GUI is available. It may be faster and easier to code than GUI but with only a few milliseconds difference, coupled with the fact that computers today are powerful enough that some of them reaching the point of being overkill, it doesn't make sense anymore for power user to keep relying on it.

8. Bustin Jieber, Gady Laga, Ciley Myrus, Ladam Ambert (blahblah! You name it)

The words are not enough for me to describe just how "hate-able" those people are that I have to 'avoid' writing their names properly. Perhaps it's enough if I just say that by default all American artists deserve a rejection from me. Of course there are a few exceptions but this is only applicable to those who are exceptionally good, though that kind of artists are endangered species that are as rare as chicken's teeth.

9. Korean entertainment

It's not that I hate them by default but I can't easily forget how they steal everybody's attention while people are still enjoying Japanese entertainment (not limited to J-drama and J-rock/J-pop songs). If not people might have better terms with anime today. And I can't understand why there are significant number of anime fans like them as well when they have nothing to do with anime in the first place. Maybe those people are just confused between Korean and Japanese?

10. You

Yes, you. I hate you and I found that everything about you is "hate-able" like your musical preferences, the anime you watch, your friends, how you speak/write, your reactions towards me and even the websites you visit. I hate you too much to the point that I have to avoid writing down the names of all of you here, so it can't be helped. However you should feel 'honored' for being hated by me, because it's not easy to get my hate. In fact some people are dying or even died just for trying to get me to hate them. Yes, those people just love to be hated by me, and in return, along with the hatred, I respect them too for struggling for my hate and living up to their masochistic nature.

"HEY HALFEY WHERE ARE THE OTHER 10 DAMMIT?!" you asked? Sorry but I hate them too much that I have to 'avoid' writing them here as well.

(13/30 people avoid me for no apparent/real reason or simply just because they can't afford to face me alive)

Overheard at My Own Funeral


10 things I think people might say during my funeral when they don’t even know I was not dead; I was just disguising myself as a fly.

J.G.Magee’s Grave, Scopwick Cemetery, Lincolnshire

1. I don’t think it’s him. Halfey is still alive and hiding somewhere.

2. That’s just an empty coffin. I know.

3. Don’t you think this is just government’s conspiracy? They must have kept Halfey with them and declared his death to fool us.

4. I know he’s not dead yet and is doing his mission elsewhere.

5. Nah! He must be doing undercover and spying job right now. There’s nobody in the grave.

6. Hey! D’you know that Halfey is actually among one of us here? He must have made himself look like a young woman. Try finding for him now!

7. Wait! He has ascended to the heaven. Believe me!

8. What the hell you’re talking about?! Halfey is immortal! He’s a vampire!

9. Rev, please cancel this funeral now! I know this is just a joke but this is too much!

10. Lets form a new religion to worship Halfey.

(1/9 people believe I am immortal)

Sometimes (many times) We Fight – Part II


And the fight continues…

Kangaroo fight

Mr. Chump Change: your [ very noticeable ] lack of dedication is what makes you far from being a touhou fan, and thus to call yourself a fan of touhou nevertheless is a hasty assumption, not just from the POV of them legit touhou fanboys, but also from the eyes of an outsider like myself as well. you too should have understood this very well.

Halfey: How could you say there are ‘legitimate’ and ‘illegitimate’ fans out there when all that we need is interest? Dedication? You mean I have to beg and steal and borrow or even break the bank just to show how much I’m dedicated? No, I don’t need that. They are interested to play the games then they are a fan. I’m interested in the design and derivative works then I’m also a fan too. It’s just that we show our love in different ways.

(Note: When Mr. Chump Change uses the [...] it literally means he is whispering or mind-talking or even using telepathy. Then Mr. Chump Change started to call me ‘sir’ out of spite.)

Mr. Chump Change: frankly sir, bandwidth limitation is not an issue here. even i who had to coup with the frequent un-stability of my ISP [ not to mention the time when i still haven't had internet installed to my room ] could obtain all those that i desired [ greatest example on this were the numerous eroges i've acquired from time to time ] by through of a well thought download management system. well its kinda like playing them RPG, there’s always a few ways to work around such obstacles as long as you had the dedication to penetrate through them :3

Halfey: I know what you’re trying to say is “work around it” but does that mean you’re implying that I must do things the same way you do so that you could accept my reasoning? My life is already divided into many small portions of which I have to dedicate my self to all of them fairly, and anime is just one of them, which happen to cover one of my many interests. So what you really need to hear from me is a reason right? Well, that won’t going to happen because whatever reason I’d state for that, regardless they’re strong or not, chances are you are not gonna buy them since they’re not in favor of your interest.

(Note: When Mr. Chump Change uses the “:3″ it literally means he is acting cutely no matter how meanie he is, though in this ‘fight’ he actually only act cutely and not being meanie.)

Mr. Chump Change: in regard to the second case of the argument above; the stated so-called ‘double standard’ exist because you aren’t making a solid sense in your stance, which will only lead to those who got irked to view you more as a drone in the bandwagon rather than a critic with a reason, thus their insistence to reject your views.

Halfey: What’s the point of arguing over points that are only valid to myself? For me, what I need in order to love or hate something is a reason, anything regardless they’re strong or weak. As long as I have reasons that’s enough. And why fuss over reasons that appear to be “strong” for me just because they appear weak to you? I don’t hurt anybody, not even myself over what I’ve chose to accept. And I don’t need you to accept my reasons either. It works for me and that’s all there is to it.

(And then another Mr. Chump Change jumped in (let’s call him Mr. Chump Change #2) though his words are mostly just repetation of Mr. Chump Change #1′s words. But I’m polite enough to welcome him since he’s my guess anyway.)

Mr. Chump Change #2: I doubt you’re a Touhou fan, regarding the ‘answer’ that was given by you state that ‘lack of interest’, ‘waste bandwidth’ etc. This is not what a true fan should say after claiming he/she as a fan…

Halfey: Do I need to follow your guide on “becoming a TRUE Touhou fan”? Oh well whatever I’m saying or claiming about myself is only about myself and does not concern you, so you don’t have to tell me “you’re not a true fan” because whatever you’re gonna say is not valid to me, just as in the case where my claim appears to be invalid to you. Again it’s all about myself, I don’t hurt anybody, not even myself over what I’ve chose to accept. And I don’t need you to accept my reasons either. It works for me and that’s all there is to it. Love is about how we appreciate what we have no matter how much we have things we love in our hand, not about how we show them or we’d steal to have everything we love. In short, just because you don’t or can’t see doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

Mr. Chump Change #2: oh dammit.. i gtg

Halfey: Thanks for coming.

There might be another Mr. Chump Change will come soon, even the female ones (a.k.a. Miss Chump Change). Until then I have have to get prepared for more assault.

(54/97 ‘true’ Touhou fans killed themselves out of rage after they learned about my interest in Touhou.)

The Worst Teacher(s) I Ever Had


Every single of us are most likely having at least one teacher we despised the most. The are many reasons contributed to this, either because the teacher is stupid or because you're the one being the asshole and complaining because that teacher of yours took disciplinary actions on you. It doesn't matter here so let me be straight to the point; despicable people do exists, regardless you're teacher or not, and that's because WE ARE PEOPLE.

Leraar met gezag / Teacher with authority

Most of my teachers in elementary school are not good teachers. Yeah, I know they're just doing the job for their living but it's not that I'm not being thankful to them. Hey, if they did criticized me as a teacher so what about if I criticize their work now as a human? Alright, before any of you out there giving me the "not all teachers are like that" crap, please take note that I don't buy any politically-correct statement like that.

I did said many of my "bad teachers" are from my elementary school but there are also teachers from my hi-school are equally assholes. I remember a few times they changed their stance on students informal attire too often to the extent that even Chuck Norris would roundhouse-kicked them out to another dimension. Yea, we do welcome rules and regulations in our school but what's the meaning of having school rules if they are being used by those kind of teachers to 'legally' bully their students.

"BUT HALFEY TEACHERS DOING THAT FOR OUR SAKE" that's rubbish. If they really want to teach their students about the good things then don't let students to have bad impression on them by manipulating and interpreting school rules as they please. We don't need that kind of teachers. Seriously.

Sometimes (many times) We Fight


This is a fictional argument that is actually fictional. I did say 'fictional' but I'll let you use your brain to decide whether it's true or not but before that please do your judgment on argument because you might not buying all of my words. I don't need you to judge on the subject but rather do your judgment on who's being more positive and who's being more negative.

K-ON! Charms

Mr. Chump Change: So you said you like Touhou Project?

Halfey: I do, and I like them as they are.

Mr. Chump Change: Have you played any Touhou Project games then?

Halfey: I haven't due to my lack of interest in bullet-hell shooting games, almost as much as how I'm interested in any shooting games (particularly FPS titles). Besides getting the game is not an easy thing to begin with, though I admit that I like the 'story' inside'.

Mr. Chump Change: I thought you're a bittorrent user? And shouldn't a real Touhou fan would get those games without fail?

Halfey: On what account you're doubting the sincerity of my interest on them? Yes I use bittorrent a lot but it doesn't mean I have to dedicate all my bandwidth only for them and forgetting my interest in anime instead.

The argument went nowhere. Then comes another argument.

Mr. Chump Change: Why do you hate K-ON?

Halfey: Because I feel like to hate it, that's all.

Mr. Chump Change: Don't try to give a vague answer like that.

Halfey: Alright, if you need a 'proper' answer then what if I tell you that I hate it because it has not 'proper' story?

Mr. Chump Change: Doesn't sound like a good reason to hate it.

Halfey: Huh? Why must it's you who decide what's "the good reason" and "the bad reason" for hating K-ON? Does that implying that you'll think it's alright if I have "good reasons" to hate it?

Mr. Chump Change: Because you're being irrational.

Halfey: Irrational? Come on. If people "don't need a reason to love something" then why must I "need a reason to hate something" too? Why the double standard?

Again, the argument went nowhere.
