Kai-ism demands respect!

Bohahahaha again it has been some time since my last entry. Kai-ism states that i must slack off whenever i can and pretend to be busy.

Anyways, it has become customary lately that i get notes or 'summons' frequently each time when i head to my trusty mode of transportation. Eversince the location where i bank my ancient relic has been found to be pretty consistent at the same spots, i have great fans of Kai-ism dropping notes on my windscreen and toying around with whatever apparel which they can find on it, which many a times is the windscreen wiper. Oh thank you great worshippers, except for the one other relic which might be older than my car, who does not seem to know how to behave herself and act her age. Now death alone is too good a thing for my followers. I shall bless them with 9 generations of Kai-ism.

----------------------------------------

It is almost time to rejoice, or maybe already time to rejoice as the amount of subjects have greatly decreased to 4, which by next week 3 would be left. Now which one next will be eleminated. Find out next on Americ...i mean on kai-ism.blogspot.

Ahhhh life is so beautiful when i can start concentrating on the more time consuming subjects now and put more effort into it. Things are starting to take a turn and i'm actually starting to get a B- FOR FIGURES! finally bitches!!! C...Co...COMBO BREAKER!!!

Anyways, another fun thing to note is the final assignment for figures which i can look forward to cging. I hope i won't slack off too much for it as finally, FINALLY there is something which i am more than happy to do without much persuasion. Those in the dark about this matter will know more when the time comes. I'll post it here :P

Because of that assignment i'm currently brimming with ideas i would love to execute, so i think some of the thumbs i did but failed to pass the "ALMIGHTY GAN" standards will be refined and carried nonetheless when i have more 'personal space'.

Stay tuned for more kai-ism next on the next episode of Americ.....kai-ism.blogspot.

The basic principles of Kai-ism

Subconsciously, after knowing someone for a while, his/her traits will rub off onto you whether you like it or not. To illustrate this, let me give a scenario based on what i have experienced myself.

example 1

When i'm giving advice to a friend, i tend to act and imagine myself being my father at times. Like really donning on his very body and speaking through it. Of course i am still myself, but i have brought along traits that he portrays when doing the same to me.

example 2

This i think some of you can relate to easily. When i mix around Mr D for too long a time, i bring home some traits of what he keeps saying when i'm around him. It's like he goes "RACIST THIS RACIST THAT" and then you tend to carry that around with you for a while and use it yourself without his presence. At that moment and that time, it feels like you are Mr D. Of course whether you will continue that or not, time will eventually evaluate that.

example 3

When i witness a certain gesture from someone, lets say Mr AB, that i find interesting i would then unknowingly repeat it in the presence of others. At that particular moment i feel like i am Mr AB himself doing that gesture and a part of my mind flicks over to think that i am exactly Mr AB now (which by now i would guess his behavior and how he would act).

---------------------------

Those are some the examples that i can come up with right now. I know i'm missing some good ones but i think for now it's enough to get my point across.

In a way, after your first encounter with a stranger, inevitably some traits from him/her would rub off onto you. So a part of that person is fused into you subconciously. He/she has passed on a little of their "essence" into your very being.

I think the closest word that can describe this is "influence" but that's not it. It's like you are that very person itself at the split second you think you are. A mind link sort of thing where you drag out and bring that person into yourself. The longer you know that person the easier for you to visualize as him/her.

In some cases doing what i have mentioned above has helped me achieve things i couldn't before. By willing myself to be another person i have managed to overcome insurmountable problems.

So how much of yourself remains after all that other-person-thingy? Are you still your original self or are you borrowing the skins of others and making it all into a cocktail you call yourself?

I guess everyone differs because it is in our abilities to filter out what we choose to mix together to form ourselves.

In the end, i might just have written something incoherent and confusing. It proves nothing other than that i'm doing my usual crapping. But know that once you have read this article up to this point, a little bit of Kai-ism is already passed on to you :D IT'S TOO LATE TO REGRET NOW!!! I AM SOMEWHERE LURKING WITHIN YOU NOW!!! *mind raeps*

---------------------------

Have a little work in progress before the post ends. Year of moo moo new year pic which i has procastinated long long.

Vocaloid

Yes, it has been sometime now since i last updated.
@.@ oh boy the most hectic week just passed me by. Drama classes are all over now so my mondays are off mwuahahaha!

It's officially exploration week next week but it's filled with replacement classes again. For some reason this time around i'm not that particularly disappointed. Something is not right with me. It must be the numbing effect that is a result of the previous sem that has caused me to be immune to such things anymore o.o!

Anyways, today i'll like to do a little introduction on Vocaloid and what it is. Jun just asked me about it a few days back and i was wondering, why not spread the thing that is the obsession of this blog's owner.


Well, basically it's a voice synthesizing software whereby depending on the generation and unit, produces a generated voice for your song generating purposes (when you know your own voice will make babies around the world cry or even those on youtube). So depending also on the expertise and skill of the composer, songs can turn out to be close in resemblance to the pitch and tones equivalent to an actual singer.

With the release of Vocaloid2 series Hatsune Miku (初音ミク), the Vocaloid series got popularized, all thanx to Nico Nico Douga (jap-version of youtube). People started posting their composed songs together with 2d+3d generated videos and soon Miku turned into an virtual diva/idol. Subsequently better improved versions like Rin&Len and Megurine Ruka (the latest) were released. Fan made artworks started flooding the imageboards of the internet. Even the Vocaloid1 series Kaito and Meiko were not left out of the circle.

Well, i won't get into the finer details so if you're interested hop on to wikipedia for some facts.
