2009 Wishlist

Howdy! 2008 has been a very lucky, happy, blessed, whatever you call it year for me. In fact, I was thinking that 2009 would be horrible because of this.So in any case, I am stating this or rather NEXT year's wishlist. It or it could not be fulfilled like what happened in 2008. Of course I wish things would go as well as 2008.1. Upgrade Mr-PC-Reborn. Yeah, this has been in the 2008 wishlist, but then... forget it. haha. I think it's impossible.1. External Hard Drive- to avoid the stack of DVDs in my room. They're outgrowing me-- my height, that...

It Hurts!

I woke up because of the sound of a unique ringing tone among my contacts. Yes, I assigned a uniquely different tone for that someone. Anyway, I ignored it only to find myself sleeping again. I feel terrible. My whole body ached a lot.I thought of what I did yesterday. If it is not because of the pool, I might have not felt this way. Oh yea, we played a lot during the time we were there. Maybe my body got exhausted for roaming around the wide pool for hours. So then, I concluded it that way.The PC addict that I am, I can still move my hurting body...

Family Outing

Today, we had our outing at Calamba, Laguna in a resort somewhere there. The pool was lukewarm and nice, we had our best time there. We played tag and ice-ice water with our cousins. We also played BINGO, sung with the videoke machine, and ate grilled seafoods and lots more together. The entire facilities of the resort was ours to use, even the billards and the table tennis facility. My nephew Renz bought his toy tanks and we played it together with Derek. We really had a great time.It was kinda tiring, but I enjoyed it of course. Later this afternoon,...

A Not So Grand Reunion

Yesterday, my aunt and two cousins from Canada arrived here in the Philippines. And today, they visited us here. Tomorrow, we'll have the real GRAND reunion for the Blanco Family at Laguna.The only ones who came here were the families of Uncle Romy's children, except for Ate Rhoda. Auntie Dora wasn't present too. I had a lot of fun playing with my pamangkins and they all enjoyed as well. Too bad I can't go out with them tonight as they go to Taytay, since we'll be seeing each other tomorrow again.I hope tomorrow will be a sunny day for swimming...

MMFF

Yesterday (yes, it was about 16 hours something ago), I woke up at around 8:40 am only to remember and to remind myself that I'm going out that day. 10 minutes after deciding to go to the other bathroom, he buzzed. I'm so late.I received his IM roughly 30 minutes earlier before I woke up; luckily, 9:20 was quite an early time to leave before the mall opens.  I had a quick shower in cold water (I take a bath during the evening), and that surely woke me up.We arrived before the mall opens at 10. Just approximately 5 minutes before it. After...

There has been a new page added in my blog. It was entitled "Bangkok Pills". This title was inspired by the 'book' of drama anthologies (and other episodes) that JM had dreamed of and we've already discussed. Bangkok, being the capital of Thailand, became part of the title. The stories/dreams to be talked about or written will be with Pchy as a main cast. Of course, he's the 'man of the moment'. When this passes by, or when I have a new foreign or not foreign squeeze, it will soon change. But then, I hope to add the previous episodes besides Kakurenbo....

Simply Addictive

Songs of the Japanese people had invaded my mind since the beginning of my otaku career. Everyday, it's sure for a Japanese song to play continuously in my mind. That is what we termed as a "virus" when we were in 5th grade. Back then, the term "LSS" or "Last Song Syndrome" hasn't been coined yet. And also, back then, we rely on Tape recordings or Cassette Tapes to be exact for our song needs. We record the TV songs of the anime series we loved to watch.The simplemindedness we had was trivial to how we loved the Japanese culture. Oftentimes, like...

Christmas Day at Star City

It was as early as 7 am when we left our house. Our destination was at Quezon City in my Ninang Nina's house. We were supposed to meet there and spend the rest of our Christmas day at Star City. After some talking and lunch, we left at exactly 11 AM for Star City.We kinda got lost on our way there. We splitted ways, something like that. It turned out that the shortcut my dad took at Balintawak stuck us in traffic somewhere in Manila. Anyway, after...

Geki! Teikoku Kageki-dan

Sakura Taisen would be my Year-Ender anime. It's really a fond memory of my first year in high school. We used to roleplay Sakura Taisen without the costumes of course. My friends and I adored the characters and so we thought of ourselves as the main characters of the anime for a while. Although it didn't last that long compared to our Slam Dunk and Hunter X Hunter addiction, it was fun. I could still remember who we are back then: I play Shinguuji Sakura, Kog plays Iris Chateubriand, Zoren is Tachibana Maria, and Ruth is Kanzaki Sumire.I really...

Chicken and Chocolates

Quiz time!Shana has melon bread, Plue has lollipop, and Sasuke has onigiri. What do they all have in common?Answer 1: Food!WRONG!Answer 2: Things!WRONG!Answer 3: Favorite food!CORRECT!!And so that's what they all like. As for me, I took after L of Death note. I love chocolates. Add the chicken to differentiate my likes from L. Okay. There you have it.I've been attached to chocolate since I don't know when. Oh come on, tell me you do not love chocolates and I'll definitely brand you as a liar. Okay, so you may not like it now, but surely you had....

Enroll Na!

Hehe. Our imaginative minds really took us to wherever imagination should take us. Recently, in my profile, a lot of changes had occurred. There were additions which other people do not know of. Surprise, surprise! Only two people know about it. Guess who? Me of course, and one of my closest buddies JM.All of these began when we were in High school. Before he transferred to RHS, JM was also a long-time PCCian like my bff C-chan. Anyway, we usually talk for hours in the phone when YM is not yet our forte and when we still have dial-ups as internet...

mIRC

Internet Relay Chat. That's what the IRC stand for. And the "M"? I don't really know. Was it massive or something? Duh.Anyway, I had been searching for the un-scanlated Rave master manga chapters in volume 27-30 so I decided to use mIRC again. The scanlators have their own IRC channels at irchighway (most of them) and so I thought I could possibly find the missing chapters in mangafox.com.Sadly, I didn't have them. I tried joining every manga channel there is, but none  can yield results with the use of @find. I got tired, so  I decided...

Hail to Ken Hidaka-- the precursor of my anime crushes, my first true love and forever will be my anime love. His brown eyes and hair had first attracted me when I was a 5th grader at Pasig Christian Academy. From the moment I saw him on GMA 7, I knew it was love. I have fallen for an anime character madly for the first time, and thus I branded him as mine. Following that, the OKAY barkada came about-- Omi, Ken, Aya, Yohji-- but later on we decided to remove Yohji since he's not cute for us. The barkada became OKAV then-- Omi Tsukiyono of Weiss...

Rave Master Mania: Anime of the Month 2

I guess I have just made Shakugan no Shana the anime of the month of December earlier this month. But now, I've downloaded Rave Master anime episodes 1-51 and it lingered my system. So I have to thank Evil-Empire and VN Manga for the Manga I downloaded from them. I had finished up to the 26th Volume, and since volume 27 is on its way to scanlation, I just decided that I will buy Volumes 27 to 35 as my gift to ME and to add up to my 2009 wishlist. Rave's plot is not as simple as getting all the Holy Brings (Rave) and defeating evil. It has a wide...

What On Earth...?

Somehow, I'm liking this violet color. I've used this font color just lately. Oh well, that's not what I want to talk about right now.Hazel-PC reborn is being kept somewhere in my parents' room now. It has been 2 days actually. I want to thank someone for coming yesterday which made me go out my room and stop the hikikomori mode. And of course, will I forget my new dog Shabutaro? He has made me happy, even for a bit.Still, I haven't gotten over the loss of Etty-chan (Pretty). I sooo miss that dog. No matter what I do, I can't seem to love Shabutaro...

Shabutaro

Shabutaro. That's the peculiar name I gave our new dog even though he has his own name written in his "papers". The name is something I picked up from Rave Master (Groove Adventure Rave)'s 4th anime episode. Haru named Plue "Shabutaro" before he met Shiba and after he "fished" Plue from the sea.Like Plue, our Shabutaro doesn't speak. He is weird-looking, being a part of the Pug family (huh?) and he doesn't even bark! He's so annoying sometimes because he's too playful. My stamina doesn't work well when I'm with Shabutaro. I wonder if he also likes...

Ways to call it Quits

Quits:adjective- Owing or being owed nothing: even1, quit, square.I bring ye news. This is not an old news coming from me, but today I duly make it something official. It seemed as if I'm Buddha-- an enlightened one. I've dreamed of the Four Noble Truths in my life earlier.1. Life means suffering. True to what has happening, each day in my life happens to be each day of suffering. Well, it doesn't look like it but deep inside of me, I'm tortured by something. I won't tell.2. The origin of suffering is attachment.Attachment. Yup, since I was attached,...

Sad

A lot of things happened today. I want to forget the reason of my loneliness. Now I won’t be able to see my dog. Or rather other’s dog. It makes me a lot more dramatic. I never thought of what could possibly happen. And here it was, and there it went. Oh well. We really realize something’s worth once it’s gone. And it is possibly true for everything we have. Just like what happened and or happens to me. I can’t stop thinking of the matter now. I...

Thai Invasion

It's not that I've changed my preferences. I only added a bit to it.If you were one of the people who observed and have visited (of course) my profile, you might have noticed that my location now is Krung Thep, Bangkok, Thailand. My "hometown" is still Tokyo, Japan (in my dreams). This signifies my newest addiction, or what I termed now as the "Thai Invasion".Several reasons became the impetus for the addition of Thai in my music and hot guys preference. First off is Pchy or Witwisit Hirayanwongkul of the August Band. He is, by far, the hottest...

I'm feeling restless. It's because up to now, I do not have any other information about the band Galla who sung Initial D Second Stage songs "Kimi ga Iru" and "Kiseki no Hana". The guys who sung that, aka the band itself Galla, has no link or whatsoever that I could find and grasp. Too bad, for when I watched the MV of "Kimi ga Iru" (in Initial D, the ending song), I found them cute (especially the lead singer). I resolved into getting mp3s, thanks to the ID collection several years ago... but still, I want to know about the band.My resolve is...

Surprise, Surprise!

A lot of things occurred today, most which I do not expect once more.First, I downloaded the song I longed to have since I was in Elementary. That is the song "Freedom!" by Han Gwan-Hee. This song is the Ending song for Restol: Special Rescue Squad, a Korean anime way back in 1999. It was aired around 2000 at ABC-5 (now TV 5) and I loved this song from the first time I heard it. When I had the chance, I'll occasionally search for its lyrics or the mp3 itself. Tough luck. For 4 years of searching, I only ended up with an instrumental--something...

Shakugan no... SHANA-TAN!

It was a BLAST! Last night, rather, earlier this morning (1am to be exact) I watched the specials and the "movie" (let's wrap it into one: Omake) of Shakugan no Shana. The Omake is super funny! OMG! There's this Off-campus trip that made me go nuts!! Everyone's cranky side were present, even the villains. Hecate became a chibi too and she's so cute when saying "Uruchai" in a cold manner. And Shana-tan? Well, she's simply the cute...

Friday, December 5, 2008

Cute tale between two protagonists who undoubtedly love each other. Oh well, to put it as simple as that is wrong. Shakugan no Shana involves too much of unknown fictitious terms and is quite hard to handle. Like for instance, you'll encounter words like "Mystes", "Flame Haze", "Interpreter of Condolence", "Corpse Collector" and others (the translations may vary too). You'll also see a lot of peculiar and idiosyncratic characters, each one hard to...

What's Left Unsaid

*****"...Love you," he muttered, and I thought it was redundant. How many times has he said this today?I know, all I wanted to say was that. But I hesitated. I pretty much knew that he'll sort of demand for an answer, and if I joke, it would kinda hurt him. To simply put it to an end, I murmured softly:"Love you too..."*****When I read Destiny at Work, I cannot forget the scene where Kaho and Touya talked about their lovers Eriol and Tomoyo-- and what Kaho's realization about her relationship with Eriol had become after three years:She gasped quietly,...

必然- Hitsuzen

"There is no such thing as coincidence in this world. There is only hitsuzen."Yuuko's famous quote, seen in Tsubasa RC and in xxxHolic is quite a mystery to me. Well, the word hitsuzen was defined or rather translated literally as "inevitability". I still can't grasp the meaning of the word. According to a blog also quoting from xxxHolic, "Hitsuzen means fate, something that is bound to happen. There are many meetings and events in this book that appear to happen for an unknown, mysterious purpose.".Unknown, yet wonderful. I wonder what's yet...

Card Captor Sakura Addiction

It hasn't left me at all. Just last night, I scanned the whole fanfiction.net searching for worthwhile SS and ET pairing fluffs. And there I saw the wonderful story entitled "Destiny At Work", involving so much plot that could be so entangled you'll barely understand it. Anyway, the concept was one of the best so far that I've read (other than syaoran no hime's Shaman King fanfiction and some Slam Dunk fanfic I've read from before).I can't wait for the next chapter as the scenes in the last one flooded my mind... it's as if I could see the exact...
