F1 2015 - Malaysian GP

A major surprise occurred during the Malaysian GP of the F1 2015 season and that surprise is that even though Sebastian Vettel transferred to the Scuderia Ferrari team, his win will put both the Mercedes F1 drivers on the line. His first win for the season marks Ferrari's first win since 2013. Mercedes' Hamilton left in 2nd place while Rosberg placed 3rd. Looks like the former world champion is seeking revenge against last year's world champion after all.

Next race is at China on the 12th of April.

KanColle OST "Kankyou"

KanColle OST "Kankyou"

Based on the hit browser game made possible by DMM and Kadokawa Games, KanColle (Kantai Collection) is all about female versions of legendary battleships, which became mankind's only hope against the mysterious abyssal fleet threatening our seas. It's about a destroyer named Fubuki attending the Chinjufu base and set off to an adventure to protect the seas along with the other fleet. There are plenty of unique ships appeared on the series from the foul-mouthed, Anglo-Japanese engineered, Kongou from the Kongou sisters, fleet idol Naka, the Destroyer Division Six, among many others.

To those who spent sleepless nights playing that browser game, they thought that the KanColle anime is something they've been waiting for since it became a talk of the town on the boards but it kinda feels like witchcraft to them but never mind because anyway, the original soundtrack from the KanColle TV series has arrived and the can relive every single moment as heard from the KanColle TV series.

There are a total of 52 tracks in this 2-disc compilation and there's nothing much to say about it so get going, commanders of the seas. Time to listen to the scores of the naval warfare just like you've been witnessing one in the series.

Zayn Malik leaves 1D for good

A few days ago, just before their Philippine leg of their One Direction world tour, one of the boy band's members, namely Zayn Malik, decided not to take part of it because of stress. We're not sure why but still, last week's Philippine leg of their On The Road Again world tour did exactly as planned.

And now, here's the big kicker to this story because this 22-year-old member of 1D decided that he's quitting the boy band for good, leaving Louis, Liam, Harry, and Niall as the remaining members of 1D. With Zayn left, could this decision jeopardize the famed boy band? Uh...no because according to their official statement, they will continue with their progress even though there's only four boys left in the band. They are also planning a new album during their world tour.

So long, Zayn. Good luck on your life post-1D and your fans will be surely be missed.
