Been a while since I wrote. Might as well record my Pokemon Sapphire Nuzlocke.

Always happy to see Charlie making a reappearance. This was a pretty good monster-of-the-week episode. Got an insight on Charlie's past and crime-solving for the monster hunt was pretty sound. I do enjoy seeing guest stars showing up again since it still shows that Dean and Sam still have friends out there that can also be considered family.

Also excited to see the newest episode this Wednesday even though it's on the same day as my driving test. If I don't pass it this time, I'm going have to retake the written test again. Pass or fail, at least I'll have Supernatural waiting for me that night.

A lot of stuff went of in the last few episodes, especially with 8x19. In 8x18, my brother finally got his episode about potential training of new hunters for the next generation. Sure their mentor turned out to be a homicidal control freak, but at least they got their new family. Glad Krissy came back.

From 8x19, I got my wish of seeing Bobby again. Since he died, I wanted for so long to know if he was okay or not. Sure he was in hell, but at least the boys got him up to heaven again. Still not buying Naomi to be a good angel. I really think she really messed with Kevin at Garth's boat.

I'll reiterate what I said about Amanda Tapping as Naomi from one of my tumblr posts. I totally love her acting as Naomi. She pulls off the character extremely well and makes a very convincing villain. At the first few appearances in the first half of the season, I actually could not bring myself to hate Naomi because I keep remembering Amanda Tapping as one of the main good-guy protagonists Samantha Carter back in Stargate SG-1 so that kind of feeling stuck with me. But as the season progressed and revealed more of Naomi’s manipulative and villainous side, I both hate Naomi for messing with the heroes and love her for her development as a formidable enemy. I actually hope Naomi makes it through season 8 and comes back at least for season 9. Her character has so much potential and is too good to kill off just yet.

On another note, no new episodes until April 24. Ah the wait! I'm thinking of creating a minecraft rollercoast in the xbox version in survival mode featuring Supernatural, but so far it is taking so long. I'll probably will end up doing this in creative mode then.

Can't wait for the update. I heard from a friend that it's supposed to come out today. Yays!

The pizza from Thursday was a success! It tasted awesome. I'll post the pictures for it later. As good as it was, I don't think I'll be making more too soon. It took hours to prepare and wait for the dough to rise. I'm happy to order from Round Table pizza next time.

These days, I'm been working on rebuilding my church in Minecraft (the save file got messed up so I had to upload an older version of the world I built it in). Again, I'll post pictures for that later after I finish rebuilding.

I also can't wait for the 1.9 update for Minecraft xbox version. I want to fight the Enderdragon already. I know I already bought the PC version, but I still want to focus on the xbox version a bit while longer while I continue reconstruction. It should come out anyday now!

Went on a cooking spree today. I decided to bake some rice flour muffins today because I wanted the use up the remaining rice flour we had in the house. Turned out slightly burnt on the outside, but still nice and gooey on the inside (apparently it's supposed to be gooey because that's how many stuff with rice flour turn out). As for the pizza, I'm still waiting for the dough to rise. Most likely I have to wait another hour. I hope it will turn out all right because I did include the last 1 1/2 cups of rice flour and then 2 cups all-purpose flour. We'll see in a few hours then.

So many thoughts running through my head after watching the recent episode.

First of all, the first few minutes greatly shocked me. So the reason Cas hasn't been responding for the past six episodes is because Naomi was training Cas to kill Dean over and over again. I kept yelling "Why!". Naomi is so manipulative and sadistic. I really do hate what she made  Cas do, but I love this character for being a very competent villain. And apparently she and Crowley had a history, looking forward at seeing that explored a little more. I was always intrigued with her character and I actually still can't bring myself to hate her. I guess maybe because I loved Amanda Tapping's acting and I keep being reminded of her being Samantha Carter back on Stargate SG-1. I have the same problem with King Uther from Merlin since his actor Anthony Head played Giles in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". (It's always difficult for me to despise their more-recent villainous characters when constantly being reminded of their good-guy characters from growing up).

It was painful to see Cas beating on Dean with Dean begging him to stop. It was touching to see Dean trying to break through to Cas, which prevented Cas from killing him. Glad to see that Cas has broken off from Naomi's influence. I wonder what he will do with the tablet now. What I'm hoping is that maybe the tablet shows a way to bring back angels that died. If that's the case he could revive the angels he killed such as Samandriel and Balthazar. Maybe Gabriel can even be revived. I wonder if I maybe too hopeful. In any case, I hope the tablet could give Cas insight on how to redeem himself and fix the stuff he did to heaven.

As for Sam and his trials, I hope he'll turn out okay. Though Cas mentioned that Sam's become damaged in ways even he can't heal, I don't think he is necessarily dying. With Cas mentioned Sam effected at a subatomic level and electromagnetic fields being involved, Sam could just be changing into something still unknown.

I am sad to see Meg die, but at least she died in a heroic sacrifice/redemption kind of way. Even when Crowley mentioned how the Winchesters plan to close the gates of Hell and kill all the demons, Meg didn't really falter and still fought Crowley off and gave the boys the time they needed. Though I am a Destiel shipper, I did find the Megstiel moments kind of cute. I guess the writers may have wanted to give the Megstiel shippers some nice moments before killing her off. Who knows, maybe the demon tablet has some way of reviving demons.

The preview for the newest episode has my brother and I excited. We had a discussion awhile back about what we wanted to happen or brought up in Supernatural. He mentioned he wanted Supernatural to bring up something about training the next generation of hunters with Dean and Sam to be the mentors. And now the next episode has something to a hunter training school. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Just woke up a while ago with my brother singing out loud the word "ONE MORE DAY" like how they sang it in Les Miserables. He was referring to one more day until Supernatural is back on with episode 17 of season 8. Can't wait for it! 

I failed my driving test again argh! Why do I have the habit of missing stop signs? I also didn't check my mirrors when making a left turn at a T-intersection. I guess since it's been years since my driving test that I'm still not used to it all. Maybe next time.

I have a Driving Test in the afternoon and I can't sleep at the moment. I hope I pass since I'm already 23. I really don't want to wait another month to take it again. I failed the test twice in high school and I didn't try during college since it was practically overcrowded at UC Berkeley. Hope third time's the charm. I'll probably start posting stuff I have on my tumblr account as well.
