My Path

Intro :

I think it’s great to have many people around you who care about you. Well I do have some people around me, and I don’t know what they think about me, if they care about me or not, it doesn’t really matter because I do care about them. Even sometimes it’s hurts when I know they didn’t care about me like what I did about them, but I think it’s great if someday when you need someone to talk to, and there’s a friend standing there anywhere anytime to listen to your story -even it’s a sad story or happy story-. Maybe they didn’t realize it yet, but when they look back I’m there behind of them, always available for them. I think that’s what friends are 😉

About Me :

I’m a daughter of a small family, living in a small house with my Mom and Dad.
Almost 60% of my time is sitting in front of computer, even it working or watching drama it’s done in front of PC, the 20% is on the road traffic jam, and the rest is sleeping (lol)
Do i sound’s like hikikomori or himono onna? xD

What I’m good at :

I’m good at self-taught, especially languages, I think it’s a gift, just by hearing it, I can understand, I mean it’s easy for me to understand it, even the writes 🙂
Now I’m learning Japanese (pretty good, i can read katakana, hiragana and some kanji), Korean (able to read hangeul and daily conversation, but still learning the context), Thai (still learning the basic conversation and the alphabet), and Hindi (beginner).
I’m doing some romanization and translation too, for lyrics (korean song / japanese song), but for translation still hard for me >,< still learning, hope we can learn each other xD
if you want to see my lyrics romanized or translated, you can go to  “音楽 Review“

What I’m bad at :

I have a bad sense of direction, to the point ridiculously. Because even the place is the place I often go like once a week for 1 year, I will still get lost… Even when I’m going to a Shopping Center/Mall, I will get lost and can’t find the way out… So if you see me, please kindly tell me the right way, don’t tell me to read the  “Road Sign”, because I also bad at reading a map and sign… hehehe

A bit sloppy and stubborn.

My Life Phase

I was a game freak
I’m learning my english from game,  since it’s a self-taught I’m pretty bad on grammar. 😦 Okay, who said playing game is bad influence, there also many good influence, you can improve your english hehehe. It’s all because of my brother who poisoned me with this game thingy when I was around ten years maybe. The first console I played was nintendo (Street Fighter, Mario Bross etc), we always played 2 player games. When we are quarreling, he won’t let me use the console wahahhaa. He’s 4 years older than me.

Then I hooked into RPG (Role Playing Game) when it’s come to Playstation. The first RPG game I played is Final Fantasy VII–VIII–XI. To play this game, I need to understand english, I was such a kid back then, and an old –My Brother’s– dictionary always sitting right beside when I played this game -LOL-. My strong will to understand the whole story of the game hahaha… Later I played many MMORPG (Online games), but in international server, so I learn many other languages from many gamer virtual friends (such as tagalog, spain, etc). Even now, there are still many gamer blood in me, I’m kinda freak because when I’m playing game, I will forget anything (even sleep, eat, drink & bathing), keep sitting in front of computer, leveling…  (this one is not a good thing to do hahaha). Do you know? my name Rinrin is from Rinoa Heartily (She’s the female lead of RPG Final Fantasy VIII) she’s my fave character, I even cut my hair and part my hair side just like her.

And even my Fave composer is Nobuo Uematsu (He’s the one who compose “Waltz For The Moon” the Waltz scene of Rinoa & Squall *kyahahaha*. Nobuo Uematsu is someone I adore, he also a self-taught musician, he is someone who inspired me.

I love a great graphic kind of game, such as Final Fantasy, Granado Espada, Lineage II, any many more, It’s awesome! Now I hold myself from game, because I have to work, as time goes by and being adult, I need to earn money, so stuck in game is a bit difficult since I’m a hot-blood, I’m afraid that I cannot spend my time wisely, so I endure this activity.

I was an anime freak too (and I still am)
I’m learning my japanese from anime, I only watched kinda detective, sci-fi, bloody, action and fantasy kind of anime, I also only bought that kind of manga such as Detective Conan, Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece, Claymore, and many others. I like most is One Piece, I always want to cosplay as them with full member (it’s hard to find the other) >_< I love Oda-sensei (the mangaka of One Piece), he make such a lovely friendship story among the pirates. They’re  quarreling each other but still, the friendship are strong, they had faith each other, maybe the phrase “Fighting among friendship will make the bond stronger” is right in this Oda-sensei ‘s One Piece.

I was an otaku, watching anime and listen to anime OST is my prior thingy. I was a poor student who not afford to buy anime magazine back then, so I was borrow my friend’s anime magazine to read, and learn japanese from that magazine by copied it xD That’s why I can read katakana and hiragana now. Attend to many Otaku event, like going to matsuri and cosplay event (even I’m not the cosplayer, I’m just taking their pics xD).

and now I’m a drama lover (this is my currently state)
I’m learning korean from korean drama. I’m a japanese drama lover at first, especially their suspense drama. I like korean drama for their romantic story. I learn hangeul writings from a book cost around 1-3 bucks (I’m not sure about the price since it’s a gift from my ex haha) but that’s an old book with old romanization (MR is used in year 1930s-2000), which is not being used now. Now they already revised the standard romanization into RR (being used from 2000-now). The one you see in lyrics romanization is using RR standard romanization.
