  Few days ago, I started to re-read Arinthian Line. I believe I had said about this book in an entry few months ago. I started readin book 4, then book 3, and now I'm reading book 1. Sever Bronny, author of Arinthian Line, said that he expected the fifth book of the series to be available by Christmas. I was really looking for it. I might have said before that the fifth book is the last one in the series. For some reason, I misread it. It wasn't the last one in the series. Also, there's a line in the book that said, "when the blind leads the dead". I think this refers to Leland, who is blind, leading the undead army of Occulus using the Agonex. I don't know, I might be wrong, or I might be right.

  This evening, after I had finished my guitar class, I walked to Mipec building, which had Fahasa, a bookstore, to buy two mire volumes of Idiots, Tests, and the Summoned Beings, which was Baka to Tesuto to Shoukanjuu in its original language. These two are volume 3 and 3.5. There is a volume 3.5 because volume 3.5 is about short stories. I'm currently reading volume 3. You might be asking, "But you said above that you are reading book 1 of Arinthian Line." And yes, I did say that. But I stopped Arinthian Line to read Baka to Tesuto. Not that I like it more; I would do the same to Baka to Tesuto if there's a new book in Arinthian Line series. The fifth book in the Arinthian Line series is called Legend. This series is getting better and better. Especially when Leera and Augum became a couple. They are sometimes hilarious and...adorable. And I am sure that there's will be at least a tear by me if the series ends.

  Now, let's talk about Robocraft. I had saw people with a lot of pieces. I once saw in a video on YouTube a guy who had over a hundred rotors while I only had two. There's also one other "mystery" that. Was wandering about Robocraft. It was how do we get the currency in this game besides recycle. I haven't played a gamemode which yiellded money to me. And I really need some in game money because I want to buy more weapons especially the Carbon 6 Laser Cannon. And maybe I could save some money to buy the Chain Shredder.

  Now, I will continue talking about Robocraft, the game which I started to play more now. Last Sunday, I play the new gamemode called Arena. In most of the game, I stood in first place of our team. And in nearly everygame our team won except for one game where the enemies are attcking our mainly pillar and no one else in our team care to defend it. They are too busy attacking the energy pillars, which was constantly being captured. It was the only game the team I'm on lose. But I like that game. My helicopter used plasma grenade launchers, which was good for destroying pillars and ground enemies. The only downside is that it consumes too much energies. I had a tank too, but the firing rate of the primary weapon was too slow. If I remember it correctly, it was a Carbon 6 Laser Cannon. I really hoped that I had one or two more of those for faster firing. The helicopter had the cheap laser guns which shoots pretty quick. But its damage was too little, and it also doesn't have the loud firing sound which will give us the impression that it was powerful. I just recently installed a healing gun. Of course, it can't heal me; but healing other teammates would be helpful. Too bad I sold my powerful railgun. I now have to install a cheaper and less powerful railgun. Railguns in this game are like sniper rifles, only that they doesn't kill in one shot. However, if you aim it wisely, like on the enemies' weapon, which would destroy it, it would be helpful. The tank also had a radar, but it's range wasn't enough for me. Because msot of the enemies had railgun, and the radar that I currently couldn't detect enemies from that far. I would have detected the enemies without the radar. I also had a radar jammer on both of my bots. But if the enemies had a radar strong enough, they would still detected me. The downside of not having mech legs is that the tank could get upside down and if the helicopter got on of it's rotor off, it couldn't turn left or right, though it could still go left or right. I also put all the plasma guns to the front because if they are in the back, they would hit my own vehicle, which doesn't do any damage to it anyway but do waste energies. I wish I could obtain a device to increase the energy or energy regeneration from some crate. I have never see it. I once got a crate which I could get a legendary weapon if I had premium. And in order to obtain premium, we need to speed real money in the game.

Ngoc Thuy

  Ngoc Thuy starts at the curve near Long Bien Bridge. The first thing you will saw there is some hotels at the foot of the dam. After a while of heading into the interior, you will saw the Mipec building. It had about four stories for a mall. There's a supermarket name Auchan. The supermarket is really big. It had a lot of merchandises. There's even blue cheese, which I doubt that there's people who buy it since it had molds in it. As you carry on, you will see other stores, cafe, and hotels at the foot of the dam. There's many way to get closer to the interior. After a while more and went down to the foot of the dam, there's a market that's called Ngoc Thuy Market. Out at the market, if you turn left and then right, you will see a minimart. We usually went to that minimart for most of the things I need excluding non-cooked food. As we go deeper into it, we shall see a secondary school. Then we'll come to an intersection. Turning left, we will see a minimart Vinmart. There's also toy stores which sold foods, drinks, and toys for kids. Going deepy, we will see a primary school. And there's will be a fork further. To the right, there's will be a big willow and a soccer field, and the left is a long passage, which after many turns, will lead to a small lake. At the first road to go down the dam after Auchan, there's a chicken hotpot and noodle restaurant. And there's also a small "restaurant" which we could find snails to eat there.

  Last Friday was pretty fun even though the wifi wasn't good enough for me to play Blitz Brigade, Order & Chaos Online, or watch YouTube. I mostly chat using Facebook and just checking what's new on Facebook. I don't know why but every time I use Facebook on Friday, there's not much people to talk to.

  Ok, things are more excited on Saturday, as usual, mainly because I got to play games on computer. I played War Thunder for a bit. Foxtrot wqs online on Skype, but he was busy with something so we can't play. That makes me a little bit discouraged from making another gameplay. After I played it a bit, I changed to playing Robocraft. Now Robocraft was a very good game. And it was getting the "My Favorite Game That I Have" title as I was getting bored of War Thunder. How War Thunder work is we were given a certain kind and amount of materials to make a robot so we could fight others. We could either fight AIs or other players. I recently unlocked two new game modes. They are the Arena and the Pit. I haven't tried the Pit yet, but I have tried the Arena. It was kind of similar to League of Legend or Dota. We have a main pillar that if destroyed, we will lose. There are many oer smaller pillars that we could capture by destroying the crystals on it. If we had at least one of those, we will have shields around our main pillar which block the projectiles of the enemies. The thing that make this gamemode different from Dota is that the small pillars are first neutral and we could capture it. I have created a pretty efficient and good looking tank.

  On Sunday, our family went to our grandparents' house. I bought a can of Coke to drink with dinner, but I completely forgot about it when dinner came and didn't remember that until we're about to go home. I left it there for the next time we went there. When we returned, I played Robocraft again. This time, I successfully created a two top rotors helicopter. It had a lot of plasma cannons, which shoot other plasma balls with a curve firing line. I had a lot of it on my helicopter that it shoots really fast.

  Yesterday, I watched the television. When I opened the television, there's no good movie on both StarMovies and HBO. So, I opened Discovery Channel and there's the program You Have Been Warned. Of course, I like this show a lot, but on National Geographic, there's another show that I also like a lot. It's called The Science of Stupid. I like The Science of Stupid more because it had fail vidoes, and I loke fail videos more. One of the examples is the video where firefighters are trying to extinguish the fire on a car which was near a ramp. As the fire subsided, a firefighter walk toward it to do something which I don't know what it was. The next thing we (the viewers of that video clip) see is the car starts to slide sdown the ramp. It was hilarious. One other example is two guy using toy lightsabers pretend to fight until one of them hit his lightsaber in the face of the other guy. It started as an epic video to a hilarious one.

  Today, I had quite a lot of Quarter Exams. There's English, literature, science, and Bible verse exam. The English and literature is grouped into one, which I got a 95/100. Science is a little bit worse. My score is 76/100. Bible verse exam, however, might be much better than science exam. Because this exam requires an actually human to check it, I haven't been informed of the score yet. But I think that I will have at least 75/100. It's not because I forgot the verses. I remembered them well, as a matter of fact. The reason I think it might be that low is because I don't remember the punctuations. I can't remember which were supposed to have a comma, a period, or a semicolon. But other than that, all is well.

  As we draw nearer and nearer to the end of 2016, Star Bundle started to give out a lot of big game sales on Steam. For example, the Dollar Dash sale allows us to buy a game for only one dollar, which was a pretty good deal to me. And today, they announced that we could buy eight games for just $3.49 or near that. The only downside to this is actually a pretty big one. The problem is most of those games are for Windows, and I use Ubuntu, which games with Linux platforms could also play on. But I could always wait for good free games to be released for Linux.

  My dog is recovering from his illness. Thanks to God, he is more active now. Also, I had finished my novel The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas. Alexandre Dumas is also the author of The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Muskateers. And, this is not related to this by the way, Google keep saying that Muskateer is the wrong spelling of musketeer, which is a soldier that uses a musket.

  Musket is like a flintlock. It uses flint and steel to make sparks to burn the gunpowder, thus created a force large enough to push a iron ball out of the gun and pierce it's target. There's three main kinds of guns that uses flint and steel to fire the projectile, the musket, the flintlock, and the blunderbuss. The blunderbuss had a funnel like barrel and had many small projectiles instead of one. I actually know of this because I used to be interest in guns. I watched many videos on YouTube of guns. The inside of the barrel is spiral so that the projectile will spin and had a greater thrust force. The projectile, by the way, is hollow. The force makes the bullet expand and fit the barrel. And since the American Civil War, soldiers stopped standing in the opening due to the development of sniper rifle. That's is basically all I remembered of all that the videos that I watched, which there's might be twenty or so. Of course, there is more, like, how to they load a musket, which country make the first cannon, and what is the materials that are used to make the first cannon, which is leather, by the way. In my point of view, a musket was easy to make. It I had the skill, I could make it. The only thing I miss is how to get the trigger to work. I have never research about the trigger. Thus, if I'm gonna try to make a flont and steel firearm, I would make a old cannon. Cannons today are different. They are way bigger, shoots further, reload easier, and could lower and raise its barrel. Each shell is anout the size of an adult's arm or bigger.

  Now, let's talk about World War II. D-Day was in November, 1944, if I still remembered that correctly. If there's something I'm bad at, then it's remembering the event's date. Of course, it's easy to remember the year. And I could remember the month with a little bit mor effort. But nit the date.

11/1/16

  I don't realized this yesterday and might haven't talk about this in the last entry, but yesterday is Halloween. I seriously don't remember it. Maybe because there's nothing special about that day to me except all the channels on the television starts to air only horror movie. It have been a long time since the last time I do some special activity on Halloween. And the only activity that I remember now is back when I was in kindergarten about four or five years of age. Our family actually carved pumpkins. And it also rains hard on that day. After Halloween, we make soup out of those pumpkins. It was delicious and probably one of my most memorable days when I was young. Actually, I called all memories of the time when I was young memorable. And by saying young, I mean when I was less than seven years old since I still consider myself young and sometimes childish. Anyway, we're (if someone actually read this even though I don't give out the link to anyone and somehow people still finds it) not here to listen about my childhood, even though I want to talk about it to keep the entry long enough. We're here to (this my presumption of people who knows absolutely about me wants to hear from this blog) listen about my personal life. Just kidding, I'll never talk about that, which I will probably do it in the next few entries. I'm gonna talk about World War II, War Thunder, and YouTube. Recently (this evening), I watched a bit of the movie Hollywood Homocide. They mention the words H2O and Klepto together in the same sentence. Do you know what makes me think of when I saw those. Of course you don't, unless you are me or have the same idea as me. I think about Vanossgaming's gameplay of the game called Klepto. It was pretty funny with all those glitches. Sometimes, the character was just deformed. Even the cars, which I think is drivable, by the way, glitched when they got out of it. The van flew up in the sky, probably looks like break dancing too. Now let's talk a little bit about War Thunder. War Thunder is made by Russian game developers. Gaijin also developed another game that I like, Star Conflict. I don't play Star Conflict nowadays because I just can't find a game. I just can't connect to it. I've tried thrice. But I really like to use Steam. Especially because I could open Facebook using their expirimental browser while actually inside a match.
