The Downfall and the Rising

               It was a sunny day.... ah who the hell am I kidding. These past few days has been raining cats and dogs non-stop. And I can't really go out much so I might as well write a blog about what's been going on these past few weeks. To start things off, my semester 2 at Taylor's University just ended and I have plenty of doubts in my mind that I can even pass my exams... especially Intro to Finance (that shit was hard). Right now I'm just enjoying my sem-break as much as possible before getting ready to seek for the re-sit test (If I wasn't chosen, thank you Jesus). Most of us in semester 2 are also experiencing the same difficulty in the Finance module, so it's understandable that shit happens and most of us decided to get drunk after the exam (that includes me....)

                Putting our exams aside, I've been awaiting for my chance to participate in the WGP 2015 for Cardfight Vanguard for a very long time. Top 1 winner gets a ticket to travel to Japan with accommodation provided just to play another tournament in Japan...... (and the participation is free, so why not). 1st day was for English players, so I just went there and took some pictures and stuff. Second day is when I had my Messiah X Deletors deck getting ready to make its appearance. I woke up early and got to the place on time, only to find out that the number of players has already reached above the max capacity over 300!!! (up to 460+, almost 500). Well, that was a waste..... I started thinking maybe I should have stayed near a hotel or something so that I could get there faster and earlier. Now I got nothing to do except watching other people play for one whole day... I did stick around for the events and sold a lot of my cards. In addition, I was finally able to obtain 2x Amnesty Messiah (a card worth RM100-150) after dealing with so many different people. However, I had to sacrifice half of my Deletor deck and rebuilt it from scratch (if I even had enough money to do so). But at least I can now prepare for G-BT05 to make room for Excelics Messiah (a card that needs Amnesty Messiah in order to use it's skill).

                   Overall, my time spent around WGP 2015 was at least worth it.








              Ayasa Ito (Voice actress for the series) is our special guest all the way from Japan and I also met the CEO of Bushiroad (company for Cardfight Vanguard).


         From that point on, I linger around the venue trading cards continuously until I've gotten everything I need. An even better deal just came to me when I saw a Facebook post that someone was selling their Amnesty Messiah, SCR version (an expensive version from the original card that's worth around RM200-250) and his selling it for RM150. I messaged him immediately and after some chatting, we came to an agreement that I didn't had to spent a single cent on that card. I only traded him one of my Omega Glendios deck for his SCR Amnesty Messiah (Worth it). In a nutshell, I traded old Link Joker cards for new Link Joker cards.

           This might probably mean that I would be doing a deck profile for Link Joker... again.... soon.... But others than that, this blog basically sums up what has happened these past few weeks in my life. Looking forward to semester 3, that is if I even manage to pass my semester 2 exams. until then, I'll be back.....
