I remember I wrote something about Bokura ga Ita as an anime many years ago. I started watching it in 2008 but ended up finishing it only in 2012. :) I usually finish anime right after downloading it. I don't know why I didn't want to finish watching it. Probably because I'm scared of a sad ending-- as it mirrors my relationship with my first (and last) boyfriend. But, it turns out, after all the drama is a very happy ending (as  I read the manga). Now, just as I finished reading the manga online, a movie was released as live action of the story. 

Since I wasn't able to post screenshots for my Bokura Ita-ed post from 2008, I will finally do with the movie I watched-- Bokura ga Ita 1 or Bokura ga Ita: Zenpen. The movie has a part 2, Bokura ga Ita: Kouhen, which has the parts in the manga that were not aired on anime.

And, because it's almost the "Love Month"and I'm feeling loved more than ever, let me also share a story about my continuing love life. :D

Definitely sweet "strolls" in campus :) As a part of a high school couple, me and my hubby shared the same scenes inside our school building. It was prohibited to have a romantic relationship--but we kept it good for a couple of months. 

We also often go on movies after class or after Periodical Tests.  :) 

We also held hands like this! :D

I wrote so many posts in my blog about my relationship with my then boyfriend, now hubby. From 2005, I even had this post about their house :D During this time, we weren't yet together. I never would have thought we'd end up together, as he was currently courting openly a dance troupe member who one of our classmates. During that time, I admit I was average-looking and I don't even bother doing kikay stuff. I never wore anything on my face except that daily face powder and petroleum jelly (my lips would often chap and I'm no fan of Chapstick). My hair is poorly combed once daily--after bath, and no retouches. I'm so plain that I wouldn't believe some guys from my previous classes really dig me (oh yes, I've had a fair share of suitors too even with that look!). I haven't really put our love story into writing so here it goes:

I was a geek, he was a gamer. We both came from different worlds. I never thought we'd share a relationship so great that I only had one boyfriend for the last 5 years. I came from a Protestant family and it did not really make sense if I enter a Catholic school. But I insisted on leaving my ex-school, a Christian school, because of some issues. We never met on campus during those times except for one connection we sure thought was "destiny". I was a straight-A student back in 2003, and I was selected for a Mathematics special class for students. Together with the other best students from other classes, we would study advanced maths on weekends on a random classroom in the high school building. The cozy room selected by our teacher is a blue classroom from the 2nd floor. I looked around and selected a seat.  Something caught my eye--a full-page printout of Final Fantasy VIII with Rinoa Heartily's angelic face. I am a fan of Final Fantasy during that time and I am pretty amazed on the seat cover of that chair. The plastic cover was neatly arranged, and in comparison to my Shaman King (anime) themed seat cover, it was awesome. I sat on that seat for the rest of the MTAP program, and little did I know, that seat was my future husband's. :)

Anyway, (going to the part where we met) we became classmates 2 years after. He was one of the most popular guys who hosted soirees in their house. Our classmates, actually one clique with the most number of people, usually hang out in their village and swam at their clubhouse. I was the leader of another clique of unpopular kids, my friends who also liked anime and are single. I never really liked him because he's a little aloof, and also I didn't like the people he hung out with. I got to talk to him for only a few times personally. One was when he asked for my mobile number because of a review class for ACET. We studied in the same review center, AHEAD Galleria, but we never met due to the schedule difference. And the other time was when my 3rd year classmate introduced to me her "crush", showing a prom photo of a guy who did look familiar on the AHEAD UPCAT refresher. And that was him, who casually said hi to us before he sat down somewhere. Honestly, I didn't find him that attractive, until I really got to talk to him.

During the 2nd quarter of the school year, our class organized a play entitled "The Dancers". I wasn't really assigned to do some acting, and I volunteered to just direct the background music and other sounds and lights. He was one of the main cast, and he was quite active with class activities. That's when he first caught my eye. During rehearsals, he's very friendly and kind. And then later on, we became text mates. He actually got my number for the review, but then he started acting friendly with texts and good morning greets. We talked about our entrance tests and mostly stuff about school. I realized that my girl friends liked him-- they were attracted to him since the beginning of classes. That probably got my attention too. I really felt as if we just shared him as a crush and I was influenced.

We learned after retreat that he was courting our classmate. It was heartbreaking, at least for us girls who liked him. And we said, oh it's time to move on and have another crush--a classmate who looks cool. Anyway, he had the greatest proposal for our classmate. He gave her a very large teddy bear and a boquet of flowers, plus a sweet letter in a card asking her to be his girl. I was devastated when I saw it in our classroom, I didn't mind of course I had no right. But later on, we learned that our classmate didn't answer back to his feelings but wrote him a letter, saying "You'll find the right person for you in no time". And it was me :)). (He shared this letter to me on 2007, he pasted it on our "diary").

Around October, we were really constantly checking out on each other thru SMS. One rehearsal night, our class planned to attend mass together as it was required for religion class. Most of our classmates backed out suddenly. To my surprise, he invited me since I was the only one who wanted to go, too. We went together and I was really happy. I already had a crush on him since September, and with the Ama Namin, I sort of scored my first hold hands with him. I was ecstatic when I came back home, and we also started to share about a lot of stuff in our life and all other random things. He asked about my hobbies, my favorite food and TV shows. He made a hasty comment on how cute I was, and I was thrilled. And during that time, we already exchanged our Yahoo! Messenger accounts. Around late October, I went to his house for the first time. My yaya, Ate Marites, really encouraged me to pursue my feelings.

October came to an end with a blast because we went out and watched a movie. This was My Sassy Girl: Tagalog Dubbed version. Much to my delight, he treated me to another movie which I chose-- Vic Sotto's Ispiritista: Itay, May Moomoo!. He even treated my yaya for the second movie when she came to Robinsons to pick me up after our movie. I did not tell my mom I was going out with him and I told him I was with my best friend. Anyway, he also went grocery shopping with me as my mother had me do some errands. He was the perfect gentleman during our "gala". We did not call it a date, of course.

November came and it was my birth month. It was indeed, my month. We often chatted for hours in YM, and we never talk in school. The rumor of our movie watching scattered like wildfire in our classroom. Many of our classmates from his clique asked me if it was real. My friends were cheering on me about the progress of our relationship. We were never really friends to begin with. Of course, people in our class were all shocked to learn that we had a budding relationship. As I've said, we never talked in person. It just happened online and via SMS. We still continued our hidden friendship, and sometimes he would hang out with me and my clique during lunch breaks and when we make our Rosary project. One time, we talked about the Tagalog version of My Sassy Girl's theme song, "I believe" sung by Jimmy Bondoc. We already exchanged mp3s of Numa Numa and I shared this with him. I challenged him to do something for me when we chatted one night-- sing to me the Tagalog version.

I pestered him one day in the classroom, and to my surprise on November 19 he called me at night. Before that, we went to a birthday party of my friend and our classmate in Taguig. Together with my BFF Carlos, we rode the jeep from Simbahan to Taguig. I was surprised he joined us as he was just randomly invited by my friend. And we had a blast during the party. We would sit together, though we aren't talking much. Going back to the night of November 19, he said on the phone that he was ready to sing after I sent him the lyrics online. He really did it for me. :) I was so thrilled as I listen to his singing voice (not the best, but tolerable). He only sang the chorus part and I was awed. How could I have made him do that? My friends bet that he must've already liked me.

Of course I did not believe as he still was probably enamoured to our classmate he previously courted. They still hang out after class on his house together with their clique. But 6 days later, it was proved that he actually likes me back. It all started with an SMS joke if we were to have a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, what would our "monthsary" be. He eagerly answered that it would definitely be "25" or "26" because it's approaching midnight. I was stunned by his response. I just replied, "Okay 25 it is". The next morning, it was official. He still greeted me with the same good morning style of text, we still talked as if nothing happened. Not until we went to class the next morning. That made it official. Our friends asked him about it and he confirmed it by mouth. We actually hid the relationship as it was not allowed by the school and my mom would not be happy about it.

We went on our first date on the 28th as a couple and watched our first movie date, Chicken Little. And yes, the rest is history! A month after (2006), I met his family on his 17th birthday, we had our first "monthsary" dinner date at Max's Pasig Simbahan (which is now gone), our mothers met during card distribution (his mom, my MIL, said I was his inspiration that his grades are higher-- he became part of the top 10 with me), our families met during family day and so on...

Almost 8 years had passed and we will have our 3rd wedding anniversary soon. I still have the hots for this man (oh yes, he's a full-grown man now haha) and he does have for me too (I'm feeling so much confidence) :P

Here are some of our photos from 2005-present.

our first couple photo together! taken in late 2005 at Market! Market!. we used to go to studios and get our photos taken many times a year :) that was the time when smartphones aren't popular and phone cams are bad.

Taken in 2006 at our family living room, he spent Christmas Day with us. he sported a long hair during that time :))
2007 photo taken at a studio in Robinsons Galleria. I really was addicted to K-culture (thus the fingers lol). 
Photo taken at a studio in Robinsons Galleria around 2008. his hair grew long again after the shorter haircut in 2007.

One photo taken again in our living room in 2009. My mom took this photo as usual. This was summer period, before we had our baby :) 
2010 photo is something from our wedding album. Taken by my sister-in-law during our reception at Bistro Mateo, Frontera Verde :D

Selca from 2011, when we went clubbing at 7th high for their school party. Oh yes, that's our first time inside a club. Haha.


2012 photo taken by my sister-in-law again during our short trip to Singapore. :D

Photo taken by my mom for 2013 during our trip in Shenzhen, China. Now, we don't have the couple photos that much because we're a growing family now. :)

Overnight date + Kung Fu Panda 2

IMG00257-20110525-1438

This blurry image is taken from our car on yesterday’s rainy afternoon. Me and my high school friends are supposedly spending the night at Two Serendra Section C, in my in-laws’ condo unit.

We just decided to have some quality time as a couple there and spend the night there. We watched the remaining episodes of The Simpsons Season 22 and the finale of Glee Season 2. 

It was a fun experience since it’s been a long time since we last spent the night with only the two of us. The last time was on Valentine’s Day this year and as always, I cooked dinner and he prepared it with me. It feels like that we’re back in the old days where we are still in the “girlfriend-boyfriend” relationship phase. Watching TV series on HD TV is really good Open-mouthed smile

 

 

 

 

In relation to that, today we watched Kung Fu Panda 2. Here is my review for the awesome movie. Smile

A short summary:

Poh just learned that he was adopted by his goose father (haha after so many years isn’t it obvious?). He was also trying to learn “inner peace” to do some sort of Kung Fu move. And so many revelations about his past came to the present involving a peacock that is evil named Shen.

I laughed, cried, laughed again, and cried again in this sequel. It was also way better in 3D. I give this movie a 5/5 grade. Best watched at Ayala Malls. *do not trust SM Cinema’s 3D glasses)*

Report

Kanina, matiwasay na natapos ang aming isinagawang pagtitipon ukol sa mga Gore Films—kabilang na dito ang Re-animator: Bride of Re-animator, Beyond Re-animator, at ang Hellraiser Series. Masaya naman kami kahit kakaunti lang talaga at hindi naman ganon kagulo. Kasi naman, expected rin naman ay tatlong tao lang. Buti nga at nakadalo nga si C. Kaya ayun, naging magulo lang nang kaunti ang pagtitipon. Nang malaman naming sa 2010 ay mayroong Re-animator Part 4 ay halos magtatalon kami sa tuwa. Nang dahil don, na-inspire na ipagpatuloy ang educational naming gawain sa pamamagitan ng pagsasagawa muli ng isang Gore Marathon Part 4 sa pagtatapos ng bakasyon (extended kasi). Kaya ayan na nga at may bagong event nanaman sa Facebook kaming ginawa kanina lamang.

Maagang napa-uwi ng bahay ang mga kasama namin kaya as usual si Hani naman ang last man standing na kasama kong nanood hanggang part 4 lang ng Hellraiser. Medyo nakakabitin nga lang kasi hindi namin malaman kung papaano magsisimula ang part 5 sa ganung klase ng ending. Pero sige, binitin muna namin para rin next time mas maraming mapanood pa at hindi maubusan sa Gore Mara Part 4. Ang weird lang kasi na-hook ako kaagad sa Hellraiser samantalang hindi ko pinapansin ang ganoong uri ng pelikula noong araw. Parang naisip ko pa nga na, “Ano ba namang klaseng tao tong si B, ang hilig sa ganito…” pero di nagtagal ay eto ako at naghahangad pang makapanood nang mas marami.

Pero iyon nga lang, wala kaming gaanong mahikayat na makisama sa aming butihing gawain na ipamahagi ang ganda ng gore films sa kapwa namin estudyante o kaibigan. Medyo sensitibo kasi ang nilalaman ng mga pelikulang tulad ng Re-animator, at may pagka-porn at atheist ang dating nito sa karamihan. Napapaatras rin namin sila dahil ito nga ay gory—madugo, kadiri, eew, yuck, at kung anu-ano pa. Masasabing ang may matitibay lang na sikmura ang makakakain ng spaghetti o kaldereta pagkatapos ng ganitong pelikula (o habang ito ay pinanonood pa lamang).

Kanina, sopas na tinanggalan ng guts ang aming kinain. Hindi kasi ako palo sa ginawa ng nanay ko na may halong atay. Alam naman niyang ayaw ko kaya hiwalay ang kinain namin. Buti nalang at hindi niya itinuloy ang spaghetti at carbonara kahit alam niyang paborito ko iyon. Binalaan ko kasi na walang kakain non, sapagkat ganung klaseng pelikula nga ang pagpipistahan ng mga mata namin kinalaunan. Buti nalang at naniwala nga siya sa akin at hindi niya ipinilit ang gusto niya.

Kaya sa susunod na gore mara ay iniimbitahan ko ang karamihan sa mga inimbitang hindi nagsidalo upang makisali at masaksihan kung ano nga ba ang gore sa buhay ng tao (oo, alam kong wala talagang kinalaman pero trip ko lang talaga na sabihin yon). Join na!

Shaolin Girl

Woot! This one’s an awesome film. Since I don’t get to open my FS profile and add a review, I guess this nice film should fill in some of my blog’s pages.

Earlier, I lied about going somewhere (yup, the typical student excuse) and doing other things than what I said I was doing. Oh okay, so there I was, on an early date than the usual since school’s the excuse. Skipping all the details from 9 onwards, I better tell something I liked in the film I watched four hours later.

The movie was said to be a sequel (yes, if not a direct sequel) of Shaolin Soccer. There were Japanese and Chinese characters in the movie. My boyfriend and I noticed how they placed the subs and the language they speak, and so the conclusion was made: it really is a collaboration of Japan and Mainland.

The girls in the story have different distinct characteristics that make it quite interesting. The male characters are cranky and some are uptight. There seems to be shoujo-ai in the entire film (showing girl-girl relationships in a loving manner—but not sexually and romantically explicit). This makes it more tempting to watch, since usually we find a romantic interaction between a girl and a boy in every film.

The whole movie showed how important Shaolin is in spirit (okay, fine, that’s not it! :P), meaning camaraderie and team work is the key to success. The dark and the light is then again the usual elements in the story, besides its lacrosse touch.

Overall, this film made me feel happy today. Of course, it’s a date after all. :)

Oh yeah, from this day onwards, I promise not to lie about doing projects and hooking up with my boyfriend in reality. Swear. I feel guilty.

Fun-Loving

Earlier today, it was decided that I was allowed to go on a movie date. It was supposedly at the Rizal Park in our plans, but then it backfired since we came out from my house late. Going to rakuens and that needed to be early in the morning. Anyway, we just had our breakfast at Rob and decided to spend an hour and a half playing different new games at Time zone. Right after that, we had to go to the movies and watch Confessions of a Shopaholic and have a good time.

After that, we decided to go for the next film which will be shown at 4:20 in the afternoon. So we decided to go for some dessert—BTIC (Yogurt ice cream) and then Ribbon fries, before we ate our merienda—Burger King burgers and fries. Valkyrie is the next film and it was another good 1 hour and 50 minutes. Then it’s time to go home.

Later in the evening, after watching Imbestigador, we had to watch the film which took our attention at AotS (Attack of the Show, a G4TV show), Office Space. And we just finished it. Wooh. Talking about being a movie buff. It really is fun. :)

Mishaps and Crappy Net Connection

I woke up this late only to know my net connection was “accidentally” pulled out—the power source, that is. Hysterically, I pulled it back again, hoping for a fine connection. I was wrong. Certainly, there was something that triggered for a slow net and I won’t bother knowing what it is.

I just continued reading from a weblog site and it made my mood happier. Oh, really happier. From last night or should I include afternoon, we’ve been in a marathon of Whispering Corridors (movies 1-3) only to stop at the third film since I find it so creepy already. The movie showed women’s relationship somewhat in a yuri or shoujo-ai manner. Kind of creepy though.

Going back to my subject, my net still doesn’t work as it should be. Even with my mail, it can’t load. Friendster, Answers.com… duh. It’s a dull net. :( I’d just go to Adult Land… (credits to FOP episode “Love at First Height”). It so does not reek there. It’s a kidless adult paradise. :D

Press Statement

Ikinalulungkot ko man para sa mga umaasa, sinabi ko na ang katotohanan nung isang araw… Kaya, Sir Manny H, magkakaroon din ng tamang tao para humalili sa pwesto ko sa uh… JinSan.

Yan ang sagot ko sa press statement nya nung Feb 2, 2009:

"Nakekeesa aku sa pagloloksa ng boong longsod ng JinSan. Nawalan kame ng esang ena na magtagoyod sana ng dibilupment at pes en urder sa JinSan. Subrang kalongkot naman, kase mahal na mahal namen ang mga Heranyawungkol. Ets su dibesteyting..."

Naalala ko tuloy bigla si Sir Manny sa role ni Mark Bautista sa “Status: Single” na pelikulang pinanood ko kahapon. Hehe. Sina “Swet” at “Heart”. Wahaha. Kulet.

Inkheart

image Obviously, I failed to post yesterday because I was out and when I came back, there were lots of things that I did with someone. Anyway, setting aside the happenings for the past 17 hours, I’m going to tell of the latest movie I’ve watched: Inkheart.

The plot of the story is so great and somewhat predictable, but never fails to still give the element of surprise. It’s somewhat like Fushigi Yuugi, since the book was read and the person entered the book—but the main difference is that in Inkheart, there are talented or rather gifted people who could forcibly send someone back and out of a book.

This movie gave me 100% and above entertainment and the sense of adventure. The soundtrack is pretty much as great as the film itself, matching the music perfectly with the scenes. The characters are so powerful that they’ve dwelled in my head for quite a long time. This is definitely a must-see for all ages.

Oh, Yay!

Is tonight my lucky night?

Finally, after deciding to visit the SARS Fansubs, I saw their subbed Hana Dan Final 2008 .torrent link! Ooooh! I can finally watch it without parts… fully saved in my PC! How happy could anyone like me get? Since I’m going gaga over Hana Dan Korean downloads lately, I haven’t focused on my search for this movie torrent. Finally, it came to me unexpectedly. Again, Kami-sama domo arigatou gozaimasu!

Hiram

Kanina, nagkaroon kami ng maikling pananatili sa SM Megamall dahil nanood nga kami ng sine at naglakwatsa, pati bumili rin ng kung anu-anong makakain. Pagkarating namin nahanap kagad namin yung mga kasama sa paggala, na di nagtagal e humiwalay rin sa amin. Tapos nun kinatagpo namin yung kaklase ko, at dun sa French Baker naganap ang aming transaksyon—ng mga anime DVDs. Ayos naman kasi nakuha ko yung case na may mga favoried oldies ko, gaya ng Evangelion. Natutuwa ako dahil pinahiram nya ako. :) Di man lang ako nakapagpasalamat.

Tapos ayun na nga nagkakilala na silang lahat at siyempre naipakita ko na rin sa kanya ang ilang katotohan sa mga naikuwento ko. Tapos nung nakalingap yung isa, nag-usap kami ni klasmeyt. Sabi nya, masyado raw mabait para sakin yung kasama ko. At tinawanan pa nya ako. Sabay amin din niyang hindi niya maintindihan ang pinanggagalingan nung mga hinain ko noon. Tapos, sabi pa niya, inaantagonize ko pa siya. Ngek. Sabi ko, di naman e. Sabay ayun bumalik siya na me dalang shiny coins na 5. Natuwa yung kaklase ko tas nagpalitan sila.

Supermarket ang susunod naming tinira. Ok naman. Maraming nabiling pang pagkain. Ang lamig don. Gamit na gamit yung jacket. Haha. Umalis din pagkatapos nun yung kaklase ko tapos kami diretso na sa sinehan. Maganda yung pelikulang Bride Wars. Ang ganda ng kwento, pati yung inasahan kong twist na si Emma ay makakatuluyan yung kapatid ni Liv. Hehe.

Ayos naman tong araw na to, basta kelangan ko lang naman sigurong mapanuod lahat ng nahiram ko bago matapos ang Marso. Kasi, bakasyon na. :)

Hana Yori Dango Final: The Movie

I could still remember the thrill and tears HYD 2 brought me when it had its TV finale- the 11th episode of the second season. This live action series surely brought the heck of fanaticism I had for Meteor Garden and even tripled it. The cast was outstanding, and of course, a Japanese comic book turned to a Japanese drama is just the right match. I do believe that the portrayal of the actors in the series really had the closest link to the original story and cast. It was a success, indeed.


A few months ago, last 2008, TBS finally released its cinematic finale—in the title HYD Final. This has been an intriguing finale for us fans and the like since this is the direct sequel to the wonderful series. A few trailers were watched out, and finally someone uploaded a subbed movie in Yahoo! Video—later on, it was compiled at MySoju.com.


I personally love fansubs release, but to have it solely posted on a streaming site made my watching of HYD the movie almost impossible. I hate streaming. In fact, I rather download that stream videos. For me, any video or film or series that appealed to me should be treasured forever—so in case I wanna watch it all over again, I have instant copy. And it also adds to my archives of past shows. That is why I desperately looked for torrents with subs, but to no avail.


I decided that my wait for it won’t be resolved by searching. And now, I decided to try the streams and watch them. But now, I’m bummed again since it’s LQ and has a low resolution. How I wish someone creates a torrent and sub or if possible, a DVD rip of this film. I know it’s piracy, but hey, who doesn’t turn to it nowadays? I’m pretty sure everyone who is an avid internet user has tried illegal downloading even for once in their net lives.


Same goes for the kapamilya teleseryes I’ve been wanting to have—however, I have the torrents but no seeders. I’ve been uploading to people and I can’t even increase my percentage of Sana Maulit Muli. Aw, it’s too terrible. Good thing, My Girl Pinoy Version has a sole seeder. I tried my best to “call out” to the seeders in iPmart, but no one responds. Last night, there has been one, but sadly it was ended only a few minutes after. My current level now is 1.5%. That is out of the 10 GB something total of the series. I’m so upset about it.


Oh well, here goes my online community. Till later. :D

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 sometime, we met our movie companions and then the rest passed by quickly. We had watched "Ang Tanging Ina Niyong Lahat", "Iskul Bukol 20 Years After", and "Dayo". It was indeed fun.


And so, I write this post 7 hours after we got home. Man, it was quite tiring, but we still had time to talk and do the usual stuff, and that includes to watch TV and go out, etc.


He had just left. That's why I'm into my PC again. Haha.

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 guy actor and singer I've seen in Thai sector. Next would be the songs of August Band, starting with Pchy's songs of course. Finally, the beginning of everything, JM's persistence and continuous influence. Haha. I can't get through my hatred of Pchy's debut film (The Love of Siam, where his role is GAY) without him. Thanks, dude!


And because of that, I already had this research mania on Thai culture which includes the following: Music, Language, and Literature.



If this mania is seasonal like my Cantonese Pop addiction, we'll see about that.

Now that it's vacation at last, I'm in total confusion. I have finally all the freedom to do my usual things--TV, sleep-late-wake-up-late mode, PC 20/7, go out with my barkada-- but I cannot do them since I don't feel like it.

So I began downloading using my Hazel-PC, the weird automatic name of my laptop, and that is one of the main problems I encounter. Our DSL connection is cumbersome--not because it's heavy but because I had to go through much before its IP settings is alright and ready for net. Hazel-PC must stay at one place so that the connection won't go off. The modem must be at one secured place so that it would be alright. And my UTP cable's RJ-45 clip also was broken. I'm so upset.

Anyway, to ensure that my connection stays and my downloads are finished, this PC has not been TURNED OFF. Yes. That's true. For 3 straight days, this has been plugged. I wonder how our electricity bill turns out. Maybe I'll be at fault again for the skyrocketing bill. That's the other reason why they want me to stay out of home and enroll for summer--to save money.

According to my mom and dad, I am doing too many nonsense stuff and that my activities are just according to my senseless whim. I kind of agree with them. Sure, my media addiction requires more money than other addictions since I have the tendency to make sure I'm updated and all the necessary mumbo jumbos are to be done, but this is just me. I can't stay away from anime, movies, books, internet, games, manga and TV that easily especially now it's vacation.

I'm planning to skip buying a new mobile phone--the one that's supposed to be my ticket and vacation expense at Singapore-- since I wanted a new EHD (external hard drive) or an upgrade for MR-PC-Reborn, my 5-year old desktop computer. I don't think any of the two would be granted that easily since stuff have high prices nowadays. Oh well, I'll just have to request a cheaper one. I want to record TV shows so I guess it would have to be the PC to TV converter.

I'm so bored. Really bored.


Still, I have many nonsense stuff left to be accomplished. I better start updating my fan fiction and my fiction... and do my English paper due tomorrow.

Is this love?




Yan ang mga tanong sa MY BOYRIEND IS TYPE B na movie ni Lee Dong Gun.
(by Ha Mi- main character- girl)


Mahabang istorya. Abangan nyo nalang sa reviews ko.



Anyway, the bible said that "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and so on..."

- 1 Corinthians 13:4-13



 Is it really THAT?



On my recent LOVE experiences, I defied that bible verse.
And I do believe that the verse is the ideal one.
The ideal, unattainable definition of Love.



Who loves someone truly and honestly?
The Prince Charming who kissed Sleeping Beauty away that fateful day her fought the Evil Witch?
The Prince again, who then kissed Snow White to break yet ANOTHER Witch's spell?



The BIG answer is, a NO! HELL NO.



I'm not kidding, I've experienced this thrice in my LIFE, so haven't I learned?





YES, I just did.



You might wonder who were the ones responsible for this.



Simply my 1st to 3rd loved guy.



Another question might be:



Who did the worst thing?



The latest would be my answer. (Check my profile page for the real answer)



Okay okay... I'm getting more twisted at this.



Please don't mind me. This is just my blog.



And me and my TRUE love, Mr. PC the NONLIVING...



... will last a lifetime...

Memoirs of A Geisha

We do not become Geisha to pursue our own destinies...


Tama ba????



haaay,,,, kakapanod ko lang niyan no! Well, well... groovy ang story pati yung mga nagsiganap. Kahit mga Intsik ay naging Hapon sila sa paningin ko.



Sobra ang filmography pero as usual hindi naman ganoon ka-kumpleto ang pelikula dahil sa TIME CONSTRAINTS.



Maayos ang kwento, kung iisipin mo, at let me clear this to you: HINDI POKPOK ang GEISHA> magkaiba yun no, in my perspective. Ewan ko lang sa iba.



It's not your ordinary story.



Mamumulat ka sa mga Ka-HAPUNAN (HAPON a, nde ha-pon)



:D



Synopsis and a comparative analysis shall follow later.

My Sassy Girl: Tagalog-dubbed Version

My Sassy Girl
Starring Jeon Ji-Hyun

A touching story of an incredible love,

of destined lovers,
of joys and heartbreaks...


The story starts with the narration of the main character at a mountain top 2 years later...

He was waiting for somebody (his ex-girlfriend) so that they can open the TIME CAPSULE they burried 2 years before.

Gyun Woo is a typical guy with no interests in life and school. Being an only child, his parents vested their hopes on him. On the day he and the girl met, he was supposed to go to Byu-Pung to his aunt, for she will let him meet a girl. But on his way at the station, he saw a girl who was about to be hit by the train.

She's a drunk and pretty girl, and just about his age. They rode on the subway together. Then series of unfortunate events came next, and suddenly Gyun Woo is already the girl's boyfriend!

This girl is very peculiar, bossy and she's heart broken. Because of that, Gyun woo decided to heal her broken heart.

And then he was successful, after several beatings, suing and pains. Gyun woo later on fell in love for the Sassy girl at first he never wanted.

By the time they fall for each other, the girl's parents decided that they should not go further with their relationship. So the girl decided that they should burry a time capsule on a mountain top, to be opened 2 years later.

Back to the first scene, the girl didn't arrive. When Gyun Woo read her letter burried inside, he knew she wasn't ready to face him.

After a year, the girl went to the place to read the letter Gyun Woo made for her. Then she saw an old man who supposedly came from the future--- Gyun Woo's future.

The next day, she was to meet the guy her ex's mom want her to meet. And incidentally, it was Gyun Woo!

She and he were surprised, and happy inside...


Thus, they are really destined for each other!


The end!


I like this film so much... It made me cry... and guess what?

I've watched htis film 10 times already!

See how beautiful this masterpiece is!
