My favourite anime.

Hey, hey, my fellow blog followers. Today, I am going to 'cybershock' you with my favourite anime.


Ok, what is my favourite anime, you ask. You know anime are a better form of cartoons and they are mostly for adolescents. The anime I like is called D.Gray-man. Have you ever heard of it? It was on the Art central last time and now, I think it is still showing old episodes on the Okto channel.


I like this show as the plot is quite awesome. I also like as it is the only anime I watch on TV. No, I am not joking and you can laugh all you want. The drawing of the characters, monsters and the background are so detailed and well-drawn that sometimes you may forget that this is not a cartoon.


Now, I will brief you about the plot. The series follows Allen walker, ordered by his master, General Cross Mariam, to become a exorcist. Exorcists are people who can destroy akuma. They work for the Black Order, an organization attempting to stop the Earl. He becomes a powerful asset for the Order because he can detect disguised akuma with his left eye.Allen is sent to recover pieces of Innocence, a substance that gives certain people, called Exorcists, the ability to destroy akuma. The Earl decides to call together the Noah Family, superhuman descendants of Noah who can destroy Innocence. Both sides start the search for the Great Heart, the most powerful piece of Innocence that will assure victory to the side that finds it.During his search, the Earl begins killing the Generals, the Order's most powerful Exorcists. To protect them, the Order attempts to bring the Generals back to headquarters, and Allen and three other Exorcists are sent to search for the missing General Cross.Meanwhile, the Order learns that the 14th, a Noah that betrayed and was killed by the Earl, implanted his memories into Allen. The memories will erode Allen away until he becomes the 14th. This leads the Order to believe that Allen may betray them.

Now, let me tell you about two characters that I like the most. The guy in the middle at the bottom is Allen Walker. He is an official exorcist, after training under General Cross for five years.His parasite-type anti-akuma weapon is the Crowned Clown, which takes the form of a type of fur cape and a giant claw. Later on, it is able to additionally produce a large sword from Allen's left arm, resembling the sword the Earl uses.Allen is devoted to fighting with the consciousness of the 14th, and save as many Akuma as he can.



This is one of my favourite character and Allen's fighting comrade, Yu Kanda. He is a cold and rude 18-year-old Exorcist from Japan. He is the first Exorcist that Allen meets at the Black Order HQ and since then, they have an ongoing loathing toward each other which often causes them to declare a series of insults and offensive statements towards each other. He is a Second Exorcist, a type of Exorcist created in the Synthetic Disciple Project Central forced onto the Chan and Epstein families nine years ago.Because of this, he can see lotus flowers blooming wherever he goes. In the anime adaption, the lotus flower is in an hourglass and is connected with his lifespan. As he approaches death, the flower loses its petals. His anti-akuma weapon is the Mugen, a sword that originally took the form of a sleek chokuto and is later reforged as a katana.
I feel that this a very good show and reccommend it to everyone. Out of a possible ten, I would give it a nine.

A simple summary of a book for the simplest of minds.

Are you waiting for a book that can satisfied your reading needs? Are you looking for a book which prevents you from closing it as soon as you start reading? Well, there is a book which I find can fulfill your expectations for book. This is a book which will not be deemed as a bundle of paper and cover to some people but a 'bible' to them.This book reached number one in the New York Bestseller list.

What is this wonderful book you have been talking about, you ask. This book is titled'first family'. This book is written by the one and only, the international bestselling author(Or so they say), David baldacci. In the book, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, the main characters, are private investigators enlisted by the first lady to rescue her kidnapped neice. Their investigations run smoothly and when their leads are exposed as dead ends, the kidnapper finally made contact. It turns out that the first lady had not been entirely honest with the pair. The presidents evil deeds in the past are finally catching up with them. His deeds to satisfy his sexual needs had brought this situation.As the story unfold, the president turns out to be a playboy many years before he was president, a person who could not control himself and he accidentally made a girl pregnant. The first lady 'help' the girl to do an abortion which unfortunately, made her lose too much blood and become brain dead. The girl's father had planned his revenge for many years and decided to strike now. King and Maxwell find themselves pushed to the limit, with the boundary between friend and foe impossible to define...or defend.


In my opinion, this is a truly wonderful book. It is definitely a page-turner. The plot's many planted explode unpredictably, which never fail to surprise you. Things that you do not expect to happen, happen. Things that you expect to happen, do not happen. I reccommend this book to anyone who likes action and adventure books. I think that it could give readers an idea what page-turners are like, if they have never read one.

A television program which I like to share with you guys.

Hello again my apprentices. I am very sure you guys are aware of the current affairs around the world. So, I am sure you kinow about the Haiti earthquake. I was changing channels aimlessly when I came across a programme that caught my attention. The show was called'Hope For Haiti Now'. It was telecasted 'live' at about four in the afternoon yesterday on the MTV channel and the National Geographic Channel.


It was hosted by George Clooney and was about two hours long. They invited famous and talented musicians and performers from all around the world to perform on the show in hopes of raising money to aid the victims of the disatrous disaster. Many people(which I think are famous although I do not know them)were waiting to answer every call made by donors. Basically what they did were that they showed were people singing, a host reporting the current situation in Haiti, interviewed some of the fortunate survivors of the earthquake and showed some images of Haiti as it is today. They also included the hotline to call to donate some money. Apparently, I forgot the hotline numbr but those who want to help the victims of Haiti, I am sure there will be a encore of the event.


I am extremely grateful to those people who performed in the event, the organisers of the event and the people who donated to help. Those people who performed in the event deserve a very big thanks as they spent some of their very valuable time doing something good. You may think that they are definitely used to performing but they practiced all the moves and other difficult moves within a period of a week. Well, I hope you had enjoyed this post.

A simple summary of two games for the simplest of minds.

Hi guys! In this post, I will introduce to you guys two games which play almost everyday during the holidays. Well, some of you may have heard of these games, some of you may not. I is quite popular with those who plays PS3. These two games are part of a series. So, I will tell you about the first game first. The game is called 'Resistance-Fall of Man'. It is a really fun and exciting game. It is set in 1951. This game descibes how world war two and world war one did not take place but the chimeran-human war. You will be playing as Lt. Nathan Hale. He is part of the two ranger squads sent by America to aid britain to fight against an alien species called chimera. There are many different types of Chimera. They are created when an extraterrestrial virus infects the whole of russia. Chimeran creatures were humans but they are somehow converted to chimera. Below is a video of what gameplay of Resistance is like.( This video is not mine. It is a video of gametrailers.com.)



I recommend this game to mature teenagers who are looking for wars with aliens. The special effects of the game is quite good.


Next, I will tell you about its sequel, 'Resistance 2' In this game, you will still be using Nathan Hale. It is set in 1953, two years after the first game. The chimera have reached America after Britain. In this game, you will meet new characters and many new monsters. The quality of the game is better than the previous game and the story is more exciting.Below is another video of the game.(This not my video. This a video of mattyblog.cookynet.com)



I hope you enjoyed reading this post and watching the videos.
This is Frederick(cybershocker) signing off.

My Interests

Hello once again, my faithful blog followers. As written on the gigantic heading on top, today, I tell you about my interests. From what I have written in the first blog, you can definitely guess what my interests are. So now I shall clear all the doubts you have. What is my interest? The answer is ......Sports! I like sports as they are fun and yet they keep you fit. Sports consists of many games. Now let me tell you a few games I like.



Firstly, the game I like the most is soccer. Allow me to elaborate further why I like soccer. I like to play soccer as I find it a very interesting game. After all, soccer is a game of tactics, luck and skill. I find the skill of curling the ball fascinating. Whenever I play soccer, I always try to bend the ball into the top corner. I tried it countless of times but I only succeeded only once. I also think soccer is a sport which can release stress. All you have to do is to is 'place' all your troubles into the power of your kick and release it all on the ball. Then relax and watch as your stress 'fly' away with the ball. This is even better than squeezing balls.



I also like the sport, floorball. I like it but it is always second to soccer. I like as it also involves some skill. It is a little easier to play than soccer. I somethings play floorball and find it stress relieving. Floorball is a better alternative to soccer for people who are afraid to get injured.



Thirdly, basketball. I mentioned this as well as soccer in my first post, so now let me explain further why I like basketball. This is a targeting and territorial invasion game. This game is great for adolescents to jump even more and grow taller. This game also builds your relationship with your friends.


Okay, I will end this post with my fourth favourite sport, badminton. I like this game as I play it sometimes. I am not a professional in this so I may not have all the skills required but at least I know the basics of playing it. This games allows the player to build up his arm strength and jumping strength.

Probably the best food in the world.



Hello my blog followers.This is my second post and to remind you, I am doing this for a school project. So, prepare to get sweeped off your feet when you you read my second posting.

In today's topic, I will tell you about my favourite food which is probably the best in the world. Now would you look at the dish on the left and stare at it. This dish will make your mouth water and crave for more food now. Yes, my favourite food is the spaghetti of Italy. The dish on the left was cooked specially for me by none other than my mother. She is the only person in the house to have master the art of cooking the spaghetti. Now let me tell you why I like this dish. If you look closely, you will see a few pieces of bacon which were cooked to perfection. Another reason I like spaghetti is the sauce. The sauce is not too salty, sour or too sweet. The noodles are also why I like spaghetti. When I eat spaghetti, I like the feeling of the noodle sliding down my throat with the delicious sauce. Out of a possible 10 points, I will give it 8 points. Thank you for reading and good bye.
