A Journey to the Center of the Tet Festival (Round #2)

February 11, 2013

Once again, I’d like to apologize in advance for my trashcan grammar. I’m still extremely lazy to proofread or use even half of my brain to properly write. So here’s the story

 

I woke up this morning at 12 o’clock and noticed Calvin Nguyen was sitting on my chair… Calvin was just watching me sleep…. I was fairly terrified to wake up to a man just sitting my chair, watching me sleep. I didn’t even know he broke into my house, since he didn’t call… So, after being surprised by Calvin, I decided to go back to sleep. But, I realized it was too creepy having Calvin continue to watch me sleep, forcing me to just wake up and brush my teeth. Afterwards, I went on Skype and Facebook to message people, and I noticed that Jia was online. Calvin told me that he was just going to my house, since he didn’t want to go to his grandpa’s funeral, since it would be too depressing. Originally, Calvin and I planned to go to Tet Festival for a second day in the row, so we called Raymond to see if he would go as well. Raymond answered our phone call and told us, “maybe”. This was most likely a no, so Calvin and I decided to call Jia and see if she would. Jia initially refused, but I got Calvin to try to persuade her, since I offered to drive Jia to the Tet Festival. Jia eventually accepted after constant nagging/begging and started to get ready. After Jia agreed, I started to get ready by changing my clothes and fixing my hair with Gatsby’s hair wax. Eventually after getting ready, Calvin and I was faced with a big dilemma. Calvin has to leave at 1:30 to arrive at some family thing by 2 o’clock exactly. The current time was 12:50ish and we were still waiting for my dad to pick us up and then pick Jia up for the Tet Festival. If you haven’t figured it out already, it would most likely take 10 minutes to get picked up, 10 minutes to drive to Jia house, and most likely 5 minutes to drive to the Tet Festival. This forces Calvin to leave after arriving to the Tet Festival. It was unfortunate, but Calvin agreed to go to the Tet Festival anyways just to say, “Hi”, to Jia at least.

My dad eventually picked Calvin and I up and started driving towards Jia house. We arrived to Jia house and picked her up quickly, with Calvin’s first words to Jia being, “omg you are tall”.

 


A Story About My Day~

February 10, 2013

I apologize for the terribad grammar and etc… I was extremely lazy and tired when typing up this story, so some shit might not make sense at all/the grammar will make you sad. Anyways here it is:
So I stayed at home till like 3 o’clock, since nobody wanted to go to the Tet Festival, even though they (my friends Johnny Lin/Danny Nguyen, Jon Pham, Winston, and etc) claimed that they wanted to yesterday. I was sad, since nobody would go with me, and I didn’t want to stay home. But Calvin Nguyen decided to go with me, since Johnny Lin wasn’t going, so yay!!! We played an LoL game together at home, and then I pooped + took shower. After, I used Gatsby Hairwax to do my hair, I put on clothes, and had my mom drive Calvin and me to the Tet Festival.

After my mom dropped us off near the Tet Festival. Calvin and I walked to the fair, it was just a 30 second walk, and then I saw one of my childhood friend named Cynthia. She goes to my school’s rival school, Edison. She’s a grade younger, and she was volunteering at the Tet Festival for some reason. I was like, “Cynthia!”, when I saw her. She turned around and recognized me. She gave me a hug and said, “Hi~!”. Then Calvin and I left to the ticket place, bought a $5 ticket there, and went inside the festival. Inside the festival, I called my friend Raymond twice, but he didn’t pick up. Most likely because the place was too loud (I actually didn’t answer my phone when my dad called me like twice, since it was so loud). Then I walked around with Calvin and I ended up seeing my cousin. He was the scumbag cousin that told me ghost stories and showed me porn, when I was younger. But, he’s a cool guy, I guess… He was always taller than me (ever since we were younger, he’s like 3 years older as well.) He grew tall really fast and was generally taller than everyone his grade. But he stopped growing early, probably since he grew faster than everyone. When I saw him, I said, “YOU’RE NOT SO TALL ANYMORE! SUP SON!!” Since, we haven’t seen each other for like two years. We’re roughly the same height now, I think… He told me that I looked different, while his gf (who he had since HS, they’re in college now. Yeah, they dated for a long time and never broke up!) said that she saw my profile picture and thought I looked way different from how I used to look several years ago… I personally don’t think so, but whatever~Ā  That was pretty much our conversation and we said our goodbyes.

Afterwards,Ā  I saw Raymond and then we walked around together (with Calvin of course) to see if we could find anyone else from our school. We walked towards the rides, which I wanted to go on (there wasn’t any specific rides, but I wanted to go on at least one). But apparently Calvin is the biggest scaredy cat ever (I had to write this word), he wouldn’t go on ANY rides, like he was too scared to even go on the slides… Like wtf… So we walked around for a bit, saw the carnival games and the prizes. I didn’t try to win any prizes, since no women :(…. But, we (Calvin, Raymond, and I) saw my friend Vivi, who I usually walk with from 2nd period to 3rd period. I sneaked up behind her and pushed her (gently) to scare her a bit, but she wasn’t even scared… I was like, “How come you’re here?” She was like, “My mommy forced me”. I asked because she claimed she wasn’t going to the Tet Festival, when I asked. Anyways, we said goodbye and walked away. We ended up going to this booth that had a Pikachu backpack as a prize. My friend Calvin really wanted the Pikachu backpack though, since his sister liked Pikachu. It was a booth where u get this Nerf gun andĀ  you try to shoot through holes; they had a one point hole, two point, and three point hole (obviously the three point hole is the smallest. I bet you were thinking something dirty, when I wrote about holes and the sizes of them… Pervert…) It was $5 for 6 shots and if you made like 3 shots in the two point hole, you’ll get the Pikachu backpack (or from making the other holes, but the two point hole is probably the safest bet for unskilled players. Calvin ended up spending $10 and failed to get the Pikachu backpack, so he was depressed and walked away.

Calvin, Raymond, and I walked around towards the rides again, I’m still trying to convince Calvin to go on it… But, Calvin was too scared and too depressed, so we got food to drown Calvin’s sorrow.
As we were buying food, he was like, “OMG NO… I HAVE TO GO BACK AND WIN THE PIKACHU BACKPACK!” I ended up buying this Oreo funnel cake thing with whipped cream + chocolate, it was swaggin. I, also, ordered cheese from another booth, but they messed up the order… They only gave me fries, not cheese fries, so I gave it back to them, so they could add on the cheese. The cheese fries were actually decent. I met my friend Alex Doan from school, he just argued with Raymond Phuong about which Gundam series was the best… Then, Alex and I talked about anime, he didn’t like Accel World (sadlyfe). Alex ended up leaving and I finished my food. I was really thirsty, so I walked with Raymond to get shaved ice. So, Calvin returned and it turns out he spent $15 more only to fail again… He was even more depressed at this point, but he got the small plushies that are kinda cute. We continued to walk around the festival and I saw this girl name Genevieve from my Elite SAT Prep Class from over the summer, we recognized each other and she gave me a hug, even though I never really talked to her and haven’t seen her since the end of summer. She was kinda weird (but had big boobies), at Elite, she would wave to my dad/mom, when my mom/dad picked me up from Elite, and my parents would go, “Who is she?”. I’d just be like, “ionno”. She and I walked away from each other, and I threw away the shaved ice., even though I didn’t finish it, it was too cold. Anyways, as Calvin, Raymond, and I walked around the Tet Festival, Calvin saw these two girls from our school that he’s friends with. He was a nice guy and gave them the plushies that he gotten from the booth and then we walked away.

Afterwards Calvin, Raymond and I saw this store/booth that sold these cute panda crewnecks and other stuff. So Calvin and I ended buying the panda crewnecks, they were like $25. So, not sure if worth… But cummonnn pandas are awesome~, so I had to buy the crewneck, since pandas are awesome. Calvin, Raymond, and I continued to walk around and Raymond phuong saw this place that sold sunglasses, 2 for $5!!! Which is like wtf so cheap for two sunglasses!?! So they must be really shitty… But Raymond wanted to buy douchebag aviator glasses to make funny pictures with and he decided to get me a pair of sunglasses as well, since you get like 2 for $5. It was pretty swag, I mean free sunglasses~ Then, we continued to walked around, and ended up playing one booth game, where you try to throw this ring on top of this bottle… We ended up failing and getting no prize after 60 tosses, haha.

We walked around and there was a kissing booth, which we were like, “Oh em gee~!” But, then it turns out it was just a big lip with a hole in the middle, where you try to throw this small bird plushie through (ionno why it’s a small bird plushie) it was $1 and if you made the toss, you get a plushie (I assume). Also. there was this black hair asian chick and this blonde hair asian chick. If we played the game at the kissing booth, we can take a photo with them. But the blonde, better looking girl, was helping someone else take a photo of himself and his son. So, Calvin, only got a picture with the not as good looking black hair chick. There was a ferris wheel, but Calvin was too scared to go on that as well, it’s like wtf…
Anyways, Calvin ended up going mad with depression and ran back to the same booth with the Pikachu backpack and tried again with $10. Calvin ended up making 2 out of 6 in again and got a small plushie (the same one he gave away earlier) and another small plushie from making (1 out of 6 in). He said, “Well, sorry guys, I’m out of money, have a good night” and the booth people were like, “Aww :(” The booth employees consisted of dis teenage girl, teenage guy, and this 30 year oldish looking asian male. Calvin, Raymond, and I walked away for like 2 minutes and then Calvin ran buy to try again since he found money in his wallet, despite saying good bye… They were like, “lol wtf?”, and Calvin paid $5 to try again to get that plushie. Calvin was like, “My sister really loves Pikachu and I just want to get it for her…” Calvin used the $5 and only got 1 out of 6 in. The booth employee (the thirty year old guy) were like, “Omg, how much prizes did u get today?” Calvin named out like 2 Rikakumma bears, like 3 small Totoro plushie, maybe less… Ionno, exactly how much he spent anymore/got. But, the 30 year old guy said, “Okay, we usually don’t do this, but I’ll let you trade in for the Pikachu backpack”. Calvin begged Raymond and me for $5 for it. But, Raymond denied, but I reluctantly gave in… Calvin played again and derped only to get 1 out of 6 in. The guy was nice and gave Calvin the Pikachu back pack anyways. The employees were like, “It’s okay, since you spent like $35+ just for a single plushie backpack”. So, Calvin was happy and told them, good night. Calvin was like, “I’m a winner now guys!” Raymond and I were like, “No, you got baited so hard and only got a pity prize”. I wanted to go back to the kissing booth to get a picture with the blonde asian, but she ended up leaving, and I didn’t want a picture with the black hair girl… So sadlyfe… My dad picked me up and I took Raymond and Calvin to my house. Calvin and Raymond watched me play support Nunu. I ended up losing though… Then, I duo qed with Calvin on MannerUPBro to get him free elo, we won the game, and that was my day basically…


Hey, it’s been a while…

July 5, 2011

Hello, it’s been a while… It’s been summer for a while and unfortunately I’m too lazy to scanlate. So… Yeah… I have no idea when I’ll come back, maybe if some translator is willing to partner up for me. Even korean translators are fine, since I’m up for translating manhwas. You could message my email at thesexfiend@live.com, anyways, hopefully I’ll stop being lazy before summer ends. But, yeah, have a great summer my few site visitors (lul surprised I have some <3)


):

April 7, 2011

Well it’s been several months since my last update and I have no idea where Thor went. Maybe it’s because I no longer go on MSN, but whatever. So apparently Onidere got picked up, so thats great. Maybe over summer i’ll get off my lazy ass and start scanlating again. But I think I forgot how to clean and have to go through trouble of downloading fonts again. ): Maybe someone would be kind enough to drop an awesome font pack for me? šŸ™‚ Anyways, thought an update should be made, since apparently there’s still at least a 100 visits to this site a day. Not sure why though… Anyways, ć˜ć‚ƒć¾ćŸ


Reason for Delay.

January 13, 2011

After a month or so I guess you guys need an update. Finals probably consumed and engulfed all of Thor’s free time and he’s been MIA. So, who knows when he’ll be free to make an update or do a release, hopefully soon though. Anyways just be patient the releases will eventually come (hopefully) when Thor is back/free.


Delay

December 1, 2010

Sorry for the delay guys, the end of the semester is coming up and I just got hit with so much homework I don’t know how I can possibly get all of it done in time :/

However, I’m slowly chipping away at this arc and will have it released sometime in the not too distant future. Again, sorry for the wait.


Onidere Ch.108-109

November 25, 2010

It’s become increasingly apparent to me that I’m gonna need a couple more days to finish the new arc. However, I promised a Thanksgiving release and dammit I will stick to that! (It’s still Thanksgiving day in my timezone, sorry if I missed yours).

These two chapters will complete the Invincible Mother arc and Tadashi will once again move up a notch on the “Not a bitch” scale by doing some good things. Expect yet another batch release of several chapters within the next few days as I shall be working on them as much as possible šŸ˜‰

Happy Thanksgiving!


Saya-chan has already made me delicious (deadly) food, maybe she’ll make you some too?

Chapter 109: MU || MF


Quick update

November 23, 2010

Hey guys, with the next few chapters we’re gonna begin a new arc in Onidere. It lasts about 5 or so chapters, so I wanna release the whole thing in a batch. I have a couple chapters done now and I’m planning on releasing by Thanksgiving day so expect that for a nice holiday gift.

Take it easy all, cya when I post the release.


Onidere Ch.105-107

November 4, 2010

Soo…. I see that you guys have noticed that CXC release chapters 105-106 a few days ago, yeah, I don’t care; I told them it was fine for them to release it because… well this may have a worse effect than a better one, but just to be honest with you guys, those chapters were “translated” about 2 months ago or something like that. Now before you grab your pickforks and torches or whatever weapons you choose for your angry mob, please note that translated is in quotes. The reason for this is… well.. it was a really really poor translation (looks to me like they got it redone at least at some parts) and was basically unusable without have tons of notes saying “I think this refers to this…”

I actually had a minor debate on whether to do 105 and 106 myself, but my translator had already done the translations so I decided to (and I think they’re better, but that may just be me). So yeah, they’re here along with a completely new never before been translated to English and released online chapter!

By the way, it’s looking like we’re getting to more… plot? It’s hard to say it’s plot as there’s little that can be defined as plot in this series other than Tadashi trying to convince others that he’s dating Saya and have everyone accept it (I personally think a kiss would get the point across but that just makes too much sense…). But yeah, we meet Saya’s mom and stuff starts to happen (and continues to happen in future chapters, yay)

Anyway, here are your chapters, no preview pic since it’s a batch release but you’ll see everything soon enough!

Onidere Ch.104

October 26, 2010

Hey guys, sorry for the wait, I had this done a few days ago, but had to wait for contact from the translator about a couple things. Anyway, this marks the beginning of the long climb back to catching up to the current raws (I believe chapter 124 comes out this week). Please don’t be too mad if I take more than a couple days to get more chapters out, the translator and I are both in college and have work to do other than this, but I want to get as many out as fast as possible (cause I wanna read them too) so I really will do my best (this marks the end of playing games for me for quite some time then).

Anyway, yeah, enough with excuses and my personal life; I’m sure you guys are really excited for this so I’ll stop my rambling and let you get to reading it. Please direct any questions or comments to… well me, Sexyboi no longer works on anything and has little to no information on what’s going on with the project.


I like lolis, but a tsundere with large breasts is fine too

MU By choosing this link, you show that you support a non fail storage site that offer rewards
MF By choosing this link, you show that you don’t care if I get any rewards and just want the release (Like I care (ΘεΘ)


Project update

October 16, 2010

Alright guys, best news I’ve been able to give in a long long time. I have a translator, and he’s very fucking good. He’s already sent me 2 chapters of translations, and they were both understandable and worded quite well. Also, since I found the guy and CXC didn’t help with it (or even respond to any of my emails), I may just break the joint.

Now that I finally found the guy, we can get back to updates and hopefully catch up. Gimme a couple days (I have a good bit of college work to do this weekend) and I’ll start updating. Alright everyone, till the next update, take it easy.


For those who applied.

September 29, 2010

I, finally checked my email after a month and I noticed several applications. Sadly, I can’t reply to them as I delete them (with my other 300 spammed email I get T_T) also it would be best if you email Thor. (If Thor would post his email in the comment/edit this post, it would be great!) So bother him if you want to apply! Off to play moar sc2.


Current Status — On Hold

September 21, 2010

I’m not dead, but I might as well have been. I’m just really trying to sort things out with this project.

The way things are now, I’m looking for a competent translator that is willing to go fast (as the previous one quit because of personal reasons). And yes, I’ve checked with more than just CXC for that.

I currently have a few people looking for one for me, and I may call in a favor from a friend or two. Cross of CXC is also looking for a fast translator as I told him that the new one HAS to be able to catch up to the current raws within ONE WEEK ONLY of starting. That way, we’ll be completely caught up within a week of getting the translator because I’ll make 100% sure that all the jobs get done.

Sorry about no updates or anything, but finding a translator is a bitch, finding a fast/good translator is hell. I could make more excuses, but just blame me for not getting one and making him work yet, I probably could have if I searched harder. Anyway, the next release should be one that will catch us up to the current raws, look forward to it; back to the search…


Onidere Ch.103

August 20, 2010

Slow releasing is slow… Sorry everyone, final projects are taking a hell of a lot more work than I thought they would so I’ve basically had no time to do anything else. Luckily, today is the last day of finals and then I have a couple weeks of break time from school before the next semester starts (I get to start Japanese classes, yay~~). So in that break time I should be able to catch up on everything that’s piled up (for here and elsewhere…) and happiness will be had by all.

Anyway, got a new chapter of Onidere here for you. This one’s about Mitsuki’s past. If you’re like me and ever wish for more loli in Onidere (not that Saya isn’t cute enough) then this chapter’s for you.

Yes yes yes! A thousand times Yes!

Dl links: MF || MU


Onidere Ch.101-102

August 8, 2010

Sorry for the holdup on this. There were a few discrepancies I caught in the translations so it took a little longer than it should have. But anyway, faster than the last release, ay? I’ll try to keep it up, but finals week is coming up for my college so I may not be able to, sorry in advance if I can’t.

Anyway, please enjoy more of Saya’s cuteness, and her father’s badassery (`dωd“)

Status Update

August 2, 2010

So… following our one year anniversary (happy birthday to sexyboi scans btw), I’ve received some goodish news…

I am the typesetter for Onidere (at least for the time being). If anyone wishes to celebrate, you may because that means as long as there are translations, there will be releases.

Now, one thing to remember, I do have other responsibilities (College, work, girls, reading manga, watching anime, Dance in the Vampire Bund, random Redhawk stuff, YQII stuff, Brolen stuff, artwork, random commissions, and Starcraft 2 has been taking up a good bit of my time too….) and it may take me a little while to catch up to the current chapters, however, I sure as hell won’t take 2 months for 2 chapters (ΘεΘ;)

Anyway, I hope to catch up to the latest chapter within 2 weeks (as long as there are translations of course…) and then it doesn’t matter who typesets after that, we should stay caught up (because otherwise I will have to kill them).

Questions, comments, concerns? Just post and I’ll address them.


1 Year Anniversary!

July 30, 2010

It’s our one year anniversary of our first release! I remember the days when I was first learning to clean for the first release. Lots of things happened from that day. Like trying to do daily releases, trying to find cleaners, doing joints, trying to find more cleaners, doing question posts, getting over 2000 visitors in a day, and trying to do new projects. Eventually, around November maybe, I became extremely lazy and had Thor to do everything. The visitors to this site eventually died down from old 2,000 to merely 300 (if were lucky) since I used to have a waiting policy on online readers, so everybody visited here. Evans (the old translator) eventually went on hiatus, and Thor started doing joint with CXC. I haven’t done anything for very long time now (since Thor can do everything). I’ve been doing other things like playing HoN (Heroes of Newerth), WC3 (Warcraft 3), SC2 (Starcraft 2) <3, and of course owning people in Connect 4 on omgpop.com (On the leaderboards) Times have passed and it’s amazing that this group is still going because of Thor. Anyways, Happy 1 Year Anniversary! Who knows if i’ll ever do anything again :X and maybe pick up a new project (if there’s translations), but who knows! Let’s see if we get this group to 2 years!

PS: On recruitment page, don’t bother emailing/msning me since i’ve been lazy to get on. Best luck is to get Thor MSN and email him. If Thor posts his email here of course.


This is disappointing…

July 11, 2010

I am continuously making attempts to help get this damn project on track, moving forward, and progressing at a good speed. But, unfortunately, every time I’m told “We’re gonna do it now, we’ve got time now, don’t worry, it should be done in a couple days…” I end up disappointed and kicking myself for believing it. Then after (finally) getting a release out, CXC stiffs me yet again and doesn’t give me any notice at all that the chapters are done and being released, regardless of having the ability to contact me easily, and I only know it’s out when a friend tells me, “Good job on the cleans for Onidere, but it took a while to get out…”

I understand having real life issues (I’m a little swamped with stuff right now and will take a bit to get some projects done), but it has been over a month, I have offered to do any work if others cannot, and I have been told that releases will happen and then they don’t far too many times.

My patience has worn out and I am giving CXC an ultimatum. If they will not accept, I will no longer consider them for collaboration and will do whatever I need to to get a new translator and get this project on track. If CXC will not allow me to do all aspects of this project other than translating then they will no longer be part of this project. I’ll give you an update when they give me a response.

Here’s chapters 99.5 and 100. This should be a celebratory and happy moment with the awesome 100’th chapter released, but CXC has made it impossible for me to properly celebrate it. Enjoy the release.

Chapter 99.5: MU || MF
Chapter 100: MU || MF


So I heard you liek faster releases…

May 27, 2010

/me checks my watch…

It’s still not as fast as I want it to be, but it’s a start! So I have a release for you all, Onidere Chaps. 98-99

Some big things happen and there’s cuteness. Read to find out. I’ll work on getting the next release to be even sooner! (Hmm, maybe catch up all the way in the next release…?)

So, no more trivial dribblings for me, read the update bitches!

Onidere Ch.96-97

May 11, 2010

Well, I noticed a whole lot of posts since the last time I’ve been here, NINJA’s being the most interesting. I’ll get into contact with him very soon and discuss some things.

In the meantime, here’s a release for you all.
Chapter 96: Saki works up some courage in this one with the help of the love witch.
Chapter 97: New characters are introduced! Still remains to be seen how pertinent they’ll be, but at least one of them is important.

Again, I deeply apologize for how long the releases are taking (especially because I like this series and hate waiting to be able to read it).
