No Manners

Today's Chinese word of the week is "没有礼貌 méi yǒu lǐ mào", this translates to "No Manners", I feel like I need to say something today because these word keeps coming up this week.

Sometimes I wonder why people are so inconsiderate and rude, they do not think about what comes out of their mouths, or what other people might think. Next time, think about what you want to say, and think about if the words are positive, or negative, do you really need to say them, is it necessary, or even do you need to use that tone??

Actually just before I was at the mall and some middle aged guy was screaming at my mum and I, and what he said was pretty hurtful. We didn't say or do anything wrong except park beside his car, and he yelled at us for parking next to him, and he threatened us that because we parked too close, he might accidentally slam into our car. But anyway, I could feel the racist tension heating up, couldn't be bothered saying a thing to him because we wern't in the wrong, he was...

If you know me, then you'll know that I am careful with my words because I know that if something slips, then it can really hurt someone and ruin their day. But anyway, I'm just typing here to vent my frustration because I've been dealing with these sort of people all the time, so next time, please keep your negative comments to yourself and don't share your unnecessary rude comments with me, I don't need to hear them, thank you!

P.S I understand enough Chinese to know when you're talking about me so please don't bother whispering in Chinese cause I probably can understand what you're saying, good day to you all!!

I Hate Dial-Up Internet!!!

New vlog skit!! Here I talk about my internet experiences, especially with dial-up!!

Game and Anime Addiction?!

Hey everyone, new video is up on my MBXD channel. There are a few more rant videos as I have had quite a few things on my mind at the moment. This one was one of them, though I didn't plan to film it today so sorry if it's a bit dragged out!

New Post Over on Entertainment Master Brendan!!

Hi everyone, I just posted a blog on K-Pop and why I listen to it. I thought it would be better to post there because it's more on the entertainment side of things. Go check it out if you haven't read it already. I'd like to know what sort of music you listen to too!!

Yesterday I finished my first test for the term, and there's 2 more to go >< Hope everything goes well!!! I skipped Monday and Tuesday lectures just to study, and I think I did average so IDK!!

I bought Dance Factory on Trademe last week, and can't wait to play because my cousin got be back into those dancing games. I'm interested in trying my own CD's to see how well they work in the game. Also I got a Instax Instant Camera in the weekend, and decided to spend $50 on 50X 10 pack films so I can't wait to get them tomorrow. Sorry this blog post is a bit boring. I don't do much these days, and I don't know when I'll get more interesting.

If you didn't know I filmed a Pokemon tag video so you can check it out!!

Well, until next time, bye!

Is Uni Life Stressful?? What Has Happened to my Life???

Hi everyone, today I'd like to quickly do a blog. I have been reading my previous blog posts and feel very emotional reading them because they bring back so many memories, especially this one I posted on Instagram. Sorry it's just a picture I took off the screen so the quality is a bit bad.

Anyway, reading my previous posts, I can't believe how far I've come since I first begin my internet sensation back in 2005 with my first ever account targeted at Lei Wulong as I was a huge Tekken fan back then. I slowly moved from Tekken, to Chinese Muisc, Remixes, Pokemon and now myself, and really, it's been a whole learning curve for me. I've learnt so much stuff that I can't say it all in this blog post, even if I wanted to. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me and to all my lovely friends that I have made along the way.

I don't know why I'm typing this out, but I feel like I have changed a lot. Even moving from High School to Uni, I feel a big difference. I read about how stressful I was, but compared to now, that was nothing. Design and Photography was actually really fun, so I don't know what I was on about now. 

These days I'm mostly stuck behind a laptop or a book, and just studying, and that's really it. Even I feel like it's hard to pick up a camera and film, though I try my hardest to, that is why my channel more targeted to myself has not been getting the videos it deserves.

But yeah, I can't go on about my life too much, I need to go back to study unfortunately :( This week I have 3 exams, and have 6 assignments due in the 3 weeks. If I thought I was stressed then, then I was wrong about that! Although this is one of the most stressed out weeks of my life, I know that it will end soon which is good. But I made sure that I don't have that feeling that I usually get which is good, so my mindset has changed from before. Blogging really helps relax myself, even if it takes 5-10 minutes out of my study time.

I'll try blog at the end of the week to see how I go. This blog will be remembered by me for years to come because when I get into a stressful situation, I'll know that it won't be stressful later on.

But on brighter news I got second place for PokeCollection's giveaway so I'm happy about that!

Don't forget to check out entertainmentmasterbrendan.blogspot.com where I post some news or review every day!!

Well until next time, bye!

Why No Posty On Duh Blogger???!!!

Hey everyone! I would just like to thank everyone who reads my blog before I begin this proper blog. It means a lot that people are actually reading what I say. So let's get to it, why the absent blog posts?? Actually this month I ran out of internet within the first "new internet usage" week so that meant that I've been on dial-up speed ever since >< all I can say is that I miss broadband!! I'll be sure to film a video on my tragic experience :P

So I started my holiday for this week, and tbh, it's not been much of a holiday, as exams are straight after I come back to uni so oh no!!! But it gives me time to study though. But back to the point, I only seem to blog on this page once a month or two, and that also is because I blog every day on my other blog page entertainment masterbrendan

Check it out if you haven't already! I just blog about entertainment related things such as TV shows, movies and games. People always.

I need to study sorry, talk to you all  soon, bye!

New Blog!

Hey everyone! I created a new blog called That MTMV which stands for Movie, TV Shows, Music and Videos. Mainly I just talk about them and do reviews and stuff as I'm always constantly watching every day and engaged in entertainment. Other things will include gaming and books but tbh adding two extra letters really makes the link look weird. But check it out some time!

Sorry I have too much going on at uni at the moment so the blog ends here. ttyl, bye!

P.S don't forget to enter my giveaway! It ends tomorrow!!!

Dealing With Haters On YouTube + Nanoblock Pikachu!

Hello everybody!

So anyway today I got my first proper hate comment. It wasn't too bad, I said a Pokemon name wrong and someone corrected me but called me stupid for incorrectly saying the name. So I don't care about hate comments really. Who should?? Usually people who say anything negative on YouTube have something against you or want attention. So what did I do?? Blocked them :D Feels so good yeah! So anyway, if you ever get hate on your channel or in general online, don't worry about it. Let's get real, if you met them in real life would they really say it in your face? Chances are no. What should you do about it? Just ignore, delete and block them. That's all you need to do. There's no need to bash them back because you'd be no better than them right?

Back in the day I did get one negative comment and that comment basically was garbage! I had no idea what they were talking about and nothing they said about me even related to me one bit. This showed me that sometimes people say negative things on YouTube because maybe they don't understand you, or are jealous??? I have no idea what happened to this person in the end but I'm happy to say that I can deal with negative comments on YouTube and online. Not that you should start any time soon please :)

Moving on.....

I actually filmed this nanoblock Pikachu video in the holidays so it's been a good month since I filmed it but I've finally uploaded it! I'll be making the Eevee and Charmander soon too so stay tuned!

I have to say, my life is not that interesting so I don't blog much about it but I guess I blog on what interests me and stuff on my mind.

Before I go I'd like to say a big thank you to all my new lovely subbies! Getting closer to 100 :) WHat should we do then?? Another giveaway?? Special video??? I'd like to do a look back on how far I've come on YouTube in my 7-8 years! Yes 7-8 years, how time flies!

If you've made it this far into the blog, thanks :) It means a lot to me that people are reading my blog posts.
Bye for now! See you in the next video :)

Laptop Keyboard and Mouse Stopped Working!!

Ok so yesterday my laptop keyboard and mouse stopped working and this wasn't the first time either. For both times my laptop hibernated, then when I turned my laptop back on, it woke up but nothing worked, only the power button and the wireless button's light lit but didn't change.

 So last time I had no option but to hold down the power key so it'd power off so I could restart the computer. This fixed the problem. This time when it happened I had a USB mouse with me so I was able to shut down the laptop using that rather than holding down the power button(ONLY DO THAT AT YOUR OWN RISK as I lost one of my laptops by shutting down that way!) But when I tried turning the laptop on, it still didn't work. Only the mouse and clickers worked until you press a button on the keyboard, then it stops working(funny isn't it?

So yeah, today I pressed that power button and everything was fine(as I'm now typing using this keyboard that wasn't working moments before). I'd love to know the reason behind all this. I have an HP laptop and I looked around yesterday for an answer and there were many people with this problem who had an HP laptop or computer so I'm a bit scared about this.

Actually the first time I got this laptop it froze and I thought the laptop froze but maybe it was just the keyboard and mouse?? Anyway I'm glad that everything's working again! If you have the same problem and are reading this right now then give it a go, it might just work! It sort of seems dumb but I really don't like doing the forced shut down, I only use it for emergencies!

Anyway, 2nd week back at uni!!! Not much happening at the moment which is good for now.

Bye for now!!

Final Exam!

Hey everyone! Before I start this blog off I would just like to say thank you to PokeCollection and his sponsors for the awesome giveaways for his birthday event(happy birthday!). I had an awesome time being on the skype quizzes. I'm sure everyone else enjoyed the birthday event :)

Anyway, last day of study before my last exam, then holidays finally!!! I've been studying basically non-stop for ever! Time to take a well deserved rest soon I think!I procrastinated before and filmed some Pokemon videos haha but I really wanted to see what Pokemon cards I got in an order, I was surprised to see so many cards and some Ex's!!! So stay tuned!

Not much to say really, have fun haha
Until then, bye!

New Facebook Page!

Hey everyone! I've made a new facebook page so that it's easier to share photos and stuff. I've ordered more Pokemon stuff and decided that it'd be easier to take a picture of them. Sometimes videos are nice but pictures are more crisp and you can look at the information more better. So yea, like if you want :)

Link to my new Facebook Page: masterbrendan

I didn't do much today but I saw some pictures of the Pokemon merch for the football cup and now I really want them ><


Anyway, thanks, bye!

Know When to Start a New Drama!

Hello everybody! So yesterday I started a new drama called World at Your Feet, and yeah it's addicting! I'm up to episode 7 and these are 45 minute episode! Whatever you do, when you have exams around the corner, don't start a new Drama until after exams. I can stand watching anime and movies but dramas seem to be different. There's an addicting feeling just watching each episode!

Well anyway this drama I'm watching (World at Your Feet) is a soccer based drama but has all the usual stuff such as those 3-way relationships, unexpected family relations, sudden illnesses and family members who've past away prior to the drama starting.

There's a difference with asian dramas and "western" dramas, it's hard to pin-point it but there's a different feel. The last holidays I watched My Love From The Star and also Empress Ki the last holidays and finished both in less than 1/1/2 weeks. Can't wait to start on more dramas during the holidays and finish World at Your Feet!!

Just over a week until holidays! Time to get ready for bed, goodnight!

Semester Almost Over

Wow, I can't believe it! Semester 1 is almost over, I can't wait to finish my exams and have a relaxing holiday. I was reading my previous blog from April (too long I know!!) and it makes me smile reading it, I don't know about you guys but there's just something about it, haha anyway.....

I filmed a new video this morning. It's just Pokemon TCG stuff I bought from a person off TradeMe. I had this period where I just bought so much stuff that my room is filled with Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards! But it's started to go quiet now with the packages so that's good (maybe??)
Here's the video anyway! Have a great day!

Stress + Too Long?!

It's been too long(for a real blog post anyway). You know what? I've been really loaded with Uni stuff that I have had no time for anything. I've been studying every day, for almost every hour I'm up. I have never really been much of a study person but for all the subjects I'm taking, I need the study! Anyway, I started uni on the 24th Feb but attended the orientation day on the 21st. I'm majoring in Computer Science, and unfortunately I have never used Python before so it's all new for me and it's been a bit of a struggle. Exams are this week and next week, then it's the holidays(yay!). Already completed my stat term test, tomorrow's computer science, then next week's economics and programming so study is a must(I'm just having a bit of a breather before going back to study don't worry haha). In between I actually have assignments and other tests to do so there's a lot to to so it's a bit stressful but I'm sure I'll get through it.

You know what?(again haha) reading back on my previous posts from last year, I remember when I was really stressed out on all my work, but looking back now, it was fun and there was nothing really to stress about. Something which happened not that long ago made me stress out, but looking back now it doesn't seem that bad, and I realised that I let my emotions take over my brain, clouding my judgement. I'm planning on making a video on stress because I feel like it'd be good to talk about it and help out other people with it because I know everyone goes through it one time or another, but it's how we act which determines the outcome (plus it's just bad overall, just be HAPPY!).

I'm just on blogger to take a breather from everything. I feel like it lifts something off myself and makes me feel better doing it.

Ok procrastinated for too long now haha, back to study.

Oh forgot to add..... I created a new channel on Youtube called "MBXD" so subscribe to see more of me. It's going to be focused more on skits, vlogs etc. masterbrendan will focus more on Pokemon videos/ openings/ yu-gi-oh/ other anime/ manga, movies, music (chinese/korean?). Let's just say it's my hobby channel.

Jah, anyway... hope you have a wonderful day
remember that you'll never get today again so do't waste this moment
live in the present, don't live in the past or future
Happy FTW :)
BYE BYE!
