"Hello people! What's happenin'? (in a super perky voice)" 

No? Okay. 

How about, "Greetings. (Does the vulcan salute)". Too geek-y? Yeah, I agree. 

Or what about, "Yo, wazzup cuz? Wha's happenin'?" Nah, too gangsta.

How about I just stick with, "Hey guys! What's up?"

Yeah. Guess I'll keep that for now.

Hey everybody, it's been awhile./! 

I put ./! 'cause I don't know what's the symbol to represent the tone between this( . ) and ( ! ).

Anyway, I guess it's time I changed the format of how I write my posts. It's been a long time coming, but I guess I didn't really feel like changing it until the time was right. And now I think it's time.

Lots of changes happened, or will be happening. 

First off, I'm no longer a student anymore. Well, TECHNICALLY I am, and I haven't officially graduated yet, but I've finished all my modules in my course, and I've gotten my results. Not bad, I'd say, considering the kind of work I submitted. 

I'd have been really surprised if my results were better though, not that I wouldn't want that to happen. 

But, yeah. School's done for me, I guess. All that's left now is to go for my graduation to get my certificate. 

But man, do I miss school...

Not the work, mind you, but the people, the things we did, the laughs that we shared, and the times together. I'll really miss that about being a student. Since we ended, I guess you could say we all went our separate ways. Some to work, some to camps. I miss them. I miss them all. 

But nothing lasts forever, I suppose.

Dammit. Damn ninjas cutting onions. *sniffles* 

But we're all still connected. Through contacts, email, skype, facebook, etc etc.

So it's not goodbye forever, right? *stifles a sniffle* (Oh gawd, since when was I this emotional?)

Okay, enough about school. Guess that'll be the last time I can say that.

Alright. Up next.

Since, I don't know, I can't really remember when, I got into watching anime. I guess it's another source of entertainment for me. But, I didn't realise I would get so attached to the characters. Each series I finish would make me feel sad for awhile, because I would know the characters on such a personal level that it's like saying goodbye to friends I've known for a long time. 

I know that the characters aren't real but the emotions that they convey and the events that happen on screen that induce a response from me makes me feel a sense of familiarity with the characters.

I don't just watch any genre of anime. Like some people, I have a specific genre type. Or more accurately, a genre combination. The genre type I'm looking out for right now in an anime is a combination of ecchi, harem, romance, comedy, and action. It definitely has to be ecchi and comedy, first of all. I suppose it's 'cause I'm managing myself quite well now, because I have...problems. Yeah, let's go with that.
Then it has to have either a combination of the remaining genres, or all of 'em. 

'Cos that's how I roll, playa! 

Ok, no seriously. That's the genres I go for. I won't watch anything else because I'm only interested in comedic ecchi. It's just something about it that makes me feel genuinely happy. Like, just pure, untainted happiness. 

Yeah I'm still weird as fuck.

Most of the anime I watch comes from anime posts in 9gag. I think without them, I wouldn't have been able to find any of the shows I've been watching. So, thanks 9gag for giving me recommendations :)

Next is the biggest change that will happen.

Enlistment day. 

Coming up in 3 weeks time. 

I have to say, I'm not looking forward to Boot Camp anymore. Not because of the training, well, maybe a little. But because, to me, it represents entering into a whole other life. And I very much enjoy the lifestyle I'm having now. I used to think I had my future figured out, career military officer, girlfriend/wife, loving family and friends to hang out with, but now? I'm not sure of anything anymore. Hell, I'm not even sure what job I will end up working in. 

But I do know this. 

If it is at all possible that my current lifestyle can be maintained, I will do whatever I can to make sure I can keep it that way. I don't want to leave this life behind, and label it as my old life. I want it to stay with me, to grow and evolve like it always has, and to make sure I stay the same person as I always was. 

Sounds like a pet huh?

I just hope things will stay the same for me in the future, as it did for me from the day I changed til now. 

Here's hoping.

I gotta go. Catch y'all next time!

Peace!
