Oshima Mai graduated from AKB48

I just watched the April 22 episode of AKBingo, AKB48's TV show, from Youtube. It's in Japanese with no subtitles so I just rely on their facial expressions and on the fun they are having. After all the games, they showed a scene in their April concert at NHK hall. Some of them were crying. In the show, other members were also sad and they gave a flower to Mai Oshima. What else would I think if the scene is like that? Is my favorite AKB48 member leaving the group?

I searched for information about Mai-san. In an instant, I found the word "graduate", together with her name. And I found out that she and another member just graduated this year. Oshima Mai supposedly graduated from AKB48 last March 27, 2009. However, she's still a part their concert this month of April. Now that the concert was over, she have to go..=(

Somehow, during her farewell, she really did her best not to cry even though some of the members were already very sad. She still put on her beautiful smile. The smile that every fans wouldn't forget.

**Oshima will be the first member to graduate who has been popular within AKB48 over the entirety of her career in the group.

Puzzle: Which Switches Which?

This is one of the puzzles i easily solved, or rather, easily answered. I was thinking twice if I should really put this one here. Actually, it's not 100% puzzle. It's a life situation brain teaser. I love puzzles like this because they are applicable in real life. Since this is a real life situation, a impossible solution is not valid and the solution should be the best and the simplest.

Rules:
Don't do foolish things that you can't do in real life. (e.g. break the wall with a rocket) You shouldn't ask somebody's help. This puzzle is only for you. And lastly, don't fool yourself with your lame solution. The solution is logical and simple. Just think!

Situation:
You are on the ground floor of a 10-storey building. In front of you is a table with 3 switches, each connected to 3 light bulbs on the 10th floor in random order. The wires, like any other household, are behind the walls. On the 10th floor, the bulbs are next to each other on the floor. Looking through the window from the outside will not give you any information about the inside. The wires were of the same color.

Question:
If the switches were labeled A-B-C and the bulbs are labeled X-Y-Z (randomly), which switch turns on which bulb?

Restriction:
You are allowed to climb up to the 10th floor only once. After that, you have to tell your answer. How would you know, which switches which?

Monsters Vs. Aliens

I was intrigued to this movie so... I watched it. Yeah i watched it! So what? Kids are not the only ones who have a right to watch this movie. I have to admit that the trailer is so good that's why a baby boy like me and my friend we're easily persuaded to watch the movie.

The trailer is so funny, especially the blue jelly guy. What's his name again? Oh yeah, it's B.O.B..BOB is the shortcut. His actual name is Bicarbonate Ostylezene Benzonate. Isn't his real name cool?

Who says that BOB is dumb? Well, I do. Hehe. But I have to admit that he's adorable. His humor made my friend laugh in every line he throws. Even though he doesn't have a brain or a heart, his slime and his eye are more than enough for people to love him.

BOB is just first in the list. I also like the giant monster. No, not the girl. I'm referring to the giant insect. He's Insectosaurus. Did I say HE? Oh, just watch the movie.

Speaking of cuteness, me and my friend were the cutest inside the cinema. When we entered the cinema, darkness was before me until a bunch of kids pop my senses out. They were all looking at us. Before we reached the top seats, we have to pass a row (3/4 full) of kids. and there were no other adults visible except for the four high school lovers at the highest level. We sat behind the kids. I think my friend laughed louder than all of them.

At the end of the movie, we went to the rest room. To my surprise, I saw my PE teacher. I called him and said hi. "I watched with my two children", he said defensively.

Lupin III vs. Conan

The impossible is now a reality when manga's most famous thief, Lupin III, finally met manga's greatest detective, Conan Edogawa. I'm just imagining this before but just last January, This TV special was released in Japan.

I didn't actually know that it already exists until I saw a picture of both Conan and Lupin. I knew about Lupin many years before Conan and since then, I already started to idolize him. On the other hand, I also like Conan because I want to become a detective since I was a child. I like them both in different ways.

They are the greatest. So the question of everyone is: Who will win? I haven't watched the [movie] yet but I think I already know what will happen. They might become friends in the end and/or it will be a draw. If you are watching detective Conan, it might be like the cases with Kaito Kid. If you are watching Lupin III, it might be the case where Lupin give up for the sake of Fujiko or Zenigata or other people's sake.

It's already out there but I can't watch it. Why? There are no subtitles! So please, I'm calling anybody who has a good heart and has the capability to sub it. Please do so. Many people are waiting for an English subtitle.
