I'm on a Manga Streak. Manga rant!!!Today, i finished downloading and reading Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne (Godwind Thief Jeanne is the translation, i think) and...er...well, what can i say? It would've been a whole lot better if it didn't get sappy at the end, and the fight was a bit too corny for me. Especially if Maron and Chiaki didn't do it before that, and if Tanemura Arina-sensei didn't show the scene where Fin and Access where kissing...yeah, before fights, i actually like the tension building up, not the sap. And what kind of a fight was that?! Maron just transforms back to herself...wla man lang action! -____-''''.... But the epilogue thing was pretty nice, with Access/Shinji liking Fin/Natsuki immediately.
Oh, I also finished downloading New World of Laruku! *dances* It's a very nice song, reminds me of Another World by Gakucchan...probably because of the word 'World'...yeah. I still miss Ouran Koukou, though (aah the crossdressing fun Haruhi has~~!!!!), and my love for Hk still hasn't disappeared. XD (go go umeda clan!)
I studied (observed, but whatever) Tanemura Arina-sensei's artwork during the KKJ stage, and...erg, well, never mind. I do like Noin Claude/Shikaidou Hijiri -- he's a very cool character, and he reminds me very much of that guy who was Wakaouji's so-called rival back when he was in Route L. Forgot his name.... Anyway, Maron also seemed to be the favored one to be pushed against things and be kissed forcefully. -_____-''' Maron, you stupid idiot.
I never did like the main characters of Tanemura-sensei's work -- like Kouyama Mitsuki (FMwS) and Maron (forgot her last name, dammit...something K...) (KKJ)...i only like Otomiya Haine (SDC), since she's cute and all...and very funny, with her love for Shizun. AND -- she hasn't done anything with SHIZUN! Makes me happy...:D
If we're talking about Mizuki, then THAT is a COMPLETELY different story. :D I like Mizuki! :D
If you look at the calendar, you'll see that June 8 is just a few days away. No. I don't want it to arrive yet. I like staying at home and sitting in front of the computer doing lots of stuff. I don't WANT MY SUMMER TO END, dammit. I still haven't finished HakuKuchi! ><><) Ah~...summer day gone away. *sings made-up tune*

I cried, yet again!I finished reading Aishiteruze Baby to get myself over my beloved (*still not over both*), and i cried again at the ending! I mean, whyyyyy?!?! Kippei and Yuzuyu's separation was so, so sad...so sad. So very, very sad. I mean, it's really sad. It's such a wonder how Kippei was able to do it...to act like himself as he said his goodbye to Yuzuyu...aargh i feel so sad now!
and his cake wasn't eaten! WAAAAH...
lately I've been lacking the drive to continue HakuKuchi. I don't know why -- it's just like, i'm soo confused, that i don't know how to continue it, and that all my ideas seem to be scattered everywhere.
And everytime i read and finish a new manga i tend to have a new idea.
Oh, did you guys know that Aishiteruze Baby was finished just last January, 2005? Umm...yeah..i'm just THAT surprised. Now i realize, when manga are serialized, they run for years......
Also, yesterday was friday, and we watched Madagascar. :D it was fun.

I will miss you, my beloved.I feel so depressed. it's like a part of me was THROWN away.... It's all my fault. They've told me many times before -- but yet, i still continue on to be a fool -- as i spend more time with them...i feel...more attached. And the more attached i was, the harder it was for me to let them go.
AAAAAARGH!
I want them back in my life. I want them back, to bring inspiration to me, happiness, those cute little faces of theirs. I want to see them again after a whole new batch of trials. They...they don't know how much I'm going to miss them! They've gotten me deep, and trapped me in their sweet plan, and they leave me like this. Even though the closure they have provided me with was more than what i expected...i still want them back.
I feel so selfish.
But yet, i still want them.
AARGH, what is WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!?!?! why do i love you so, you damn clan! your grandfather, your uncle...you! YOU LOOK SO DAMN GORGEOUS, DAMMIT!
ANYWHOO, yeah...i got my UP application form TODAY. i feel so ...old, scared and nervous. and just a while later i was picking out courses, i felt nervous. but my choices are: film &audio-visual communications, broadcasting communication, journalism and creative writing. :D Yes, i am picking up after my.......ELECTIVE! hahaha...
yes, i'm not depressed about that anymore! IN FACT: i was able to draw a yaoi-ish piccie! which did NOT look bad at all! *proud*
I will go do my story/comics now!!! *suddenly inspired*

they are just so, so cool.I listened to Orenji no Taiyou today for the first time in a long time, and i concentrated on listening only to Hyde's voice. But in some parts of the song Gackt's voice overpowered Hyde's, so it was hard to concentrate. But even though ung boses ni Gackt ung nangingibabaw, maririnig mo pa rin ung boses ni Hyde. Pero ung boses nya kasi sa Orenji, napaka soft and mellow, unlike the voice he uses in most Laruku Songs. I believe Orenji no Taiyou explores and shows off the voices of these two unbelievably gorgeous men.
I got to see the Metamorphoze PV today. :D it's a nice PV, although i think they flunked seriously in the aspect of Gackt's costume. But he looks very, very cool, with his blood-ridden gundam suit and his hair. His hairstyles nowadays are the best in my opinion. Except for the one in the Black Stone PV -- his hair just looks like a dead head of a very large cockroach.
Anyway, as of late, nothing really happened that is worth mentioning, except my growing love for Skipper. and Rico, Kowalski and Private. I can't wait for Friday, when we all go out and watch Madagascar. I feel really bad that my friends Jez, mich and Topin can't go...but there's still some other day -- we can probably go out then. I still don't know if Monique and Teters can go. I think they can't. Monique can't go because of her car, and Teters? i don't know. she doesn't talk to me recently.
And Leidi is a very good friend.
It's already 1:10 am here...O.O i'm waiting for my dl's to finish...it says 1:30 hours remaining...so i'll probably sleep...4:00 am?! Naaah...i won't read it once i finish the dl.
I have yet to see many PVs of Laruku -- Killing Me, New World (still haven't heard that one), Niji, and so much more. O.O The download that VampireHaku let me have couldn't start -- something about a '/' problem. O.O oh well...hope it works tomorrow
what else is worth mentioning? Oh, i also got the mp3's of BLACK STONE and Ash. they're so cool. :D i spent part of the night arranging my library so that it'd be nice and complete of my mp3's. :D 311 and counting. :D

Hmmmmm....I almost threw a fit yesterday when i thought i wouldn't be able to watch Gakucchan's special interview on Beat Motion. I already wasn't able to watch Laruku with Jyojyoushi (uwa, chichi-san told me they all looked cute!!! argiddy argh!) -- but luckily, my parents and aunt and uncle let me watch it on the TV! OOh yeah! Gakucchan looked so cute and smecksy with his look last night -- with that cool, tie-thing top, that silver-lined long trenchcoat, and his uber cool hair! Uwawawa, Gakucchan is sooo cool. :D so, so cool. gwapo pa. oh em gee.
I can't wait to watch Madagascar!! Dude, that lemur is so damn cute!! the one who cried when alex tried to say hi! Dude, he's really, really cute! And being a
Friends fan, i can't wait to watch it because David Schwimmer's playing Melman, the giraffe. That is sooo damn cool. Can't wait for it. And the damn penguins are just soooo cute! Cute cute cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE Skipper! Skipper is soo damn cool, and cute, and cuddly, and damn i want to see his version sa Roxas Boulevard! Skipper, Kowalski, Pirate and Rico...i love them....LOVE them...*obsessed with cute fat cuddly penguins*
Also, i want to watch Kingdom of Heaven and Star Wars!! Even though i haven't watched the second, or 3-6, i want to watch it. :D (hmm, because it's Ewan McGregor playing Obi wan Kenobi? (did i spell that right?!)?). I also saw the trailer for HP: Goblet of Fire...
And I must say, Ron and Harry (Rupert and Daniel) look very, very weird. I don't think long hair suits them...maybe if it's styled right, it'll look good. I also must say that i like Harry's dress robes -- even though it definitely doesn't look like the one in the book, i like it because it looks like a tux. So cool. Hermione (Emma), meanwhile, looks...nevermind.
Hmm...the actors for Cedric and Viktor look weird, too. Doesn't suit the characters...never did imagine Krum as bald (okay, slightly bald)...because on the cover of GoF he has long hair. And Cedric doesn't look like Cedric. Fleur, meanwhile, looks very nice. :D I like Fleur.
And I am in utter discomfort. O.O

The Love Poem ROCKS!I am SO, SO obsessed with Jyojyoushi! It's such a great song, such a great, great song...I can't stop listening to it. I feel so relaxed and...inspired, happy yet sad at the same time. It's so great that i've duplicated it on my playlist, so every a few songs it'd play.... It's a really great song. I've been listening to it so many times. ...only if i knew how to activate the 'repeat' thing, i would be listening to it all day. it's just like when I was obsessed with Paint it Black, although Jyojyoushi is a soft, mellow kind of song.
it's just so great.
I'm still a bit depressed about my skills.
I'm currently having a bit of trouble with HakuKuchi. I don't know how to make the story progress -- it's because i think i haven't given Kazu and Ta-ko ample time to spend together, you know? I feel as if i need more description of what they're doing in order to be closer together...argiddy argh argh...
i still sort of hate this.

Summer's almost over...Yesterday was my enrollment day for my last year of highschool... I'm already a senior when june arrives, therefore i'm going to be buried in a whole lot of assignments and crap and all that. I found out my elective class was Creative Writing...not that i didn't like it, but my first reaction when i saw that i wasn't in Visual Arts...i almost cried. I really wanted to be in that class, because i loved to draw and loved to do art stuff. I like writing too, but i really thought that i was going to go to the Visual Arts class. Well, I've accepted that fact now -- no use in crying over spilled milk, right? So, yeah...the IV6 troop over at the Creative Writing class is a very good one -- so i don't have any qualms about it.. :D
I started reading the Inferno by Dante Alighieri just a few hours earlier -- i only got around to Canto III..I'll probably continue reading it tomorrow. I got a crapload of books yesterday for the new schoolyear -- hopefully, it won't be that hard. Also, the incoming batch of juniors were reshuffled (hahahahahaha!!!).
What else...? Hmm...I can't wait for Hana-Kimi 6! I realized that i sort of have a penchant for girls who have to dress up as boys but are not gay...like Hana-Kimi, and Ouran Koukou. I still don't know who picked Ouran up, but i hope they release the volume soon -- I miss Haruhi and the others...Hana-Kimi 6 has Umeda-sensei as its cover, and he's blonde!!! :D I always thought he was a brunette, but since he looks so good, it doesn't matter what his hair color is...:D
We went to Greenhills yesterday, and of course, i played Dance Maniax -- but there was this damn horrible kid na lagi na lang akong sinusumbatan! ********* batang yan! wla man lang respeto sa mga nakakatanda sa kanya! Dapat sinipa ko yan habang naglalaro kme! Sumbat ng sumbat eh xa nga nagmi-mild na mabilis lng! eh kme, ha?! Kami WILD! WILD WILD WILD WILD! kaya ******* bata ka, ha, tumahimik ka na, bago ko sabihin kung gano ka gago kang bata ka! wla akong pakelam kung magsusumbong ka, kasi wla kang respeto sa mga nakakatanda!!! gagong bata!
Erg, parang bumabagal akong mag-type..
I got depressed yesterday when i realized how God was showing me the signs -- it's like he's telling me that i shouldn't draw anymore.... For the past few days I've been having trouble drawing a decent picture -- I really can't. A few days ago my right hand hurt like hell -- reducing my capability of drawing. And now I'm typing real bad -- i get the keys messed up and my accuracy's low. And the Visual Arts thing was the last blow -- it's like god doesn't want me to draw anymore. Why!? I like drawing -- even though I'm having the hardest time trying to draw, and my hands being messed up as they are...i don't want to give it up. And with the realization that everyone's been taking art workshops, and i haven't, and they're all so better than me, like i couldn't catch up to them anymore...it really got me...it's like i don't have anything that i can be good at anymore. My typing skills are beginning to crumble, and so is my drawing...i really don't want this to happen to me. I really don't. I've been trying really hard, but it seems that they just don't want me. i've considered quitting art because of everything. I tried to convince myself that maybe it's just an off-season for me -- like i used up all i can use of my talent, and i just have to rest for a moment to get it running again.
But now i think it's not that anymore. If i wasn't supposed to draw at all, why did God let me waste so much time on it?
Argh, i hate this.

Argh. Aaaargh. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGh.I am sooo pissed off! well, not really, but C'MON!!!!!!!!! I mean, i missed Gakucchan's performance of Black Stone! I missed it! all because i thought last friday wasn't May 6, even though it WAS~! aaaaaaaargh!! i missed gakucchan! I MISSED GAKUCCHAN!!!! nooooooo0o0o0o0o0o0o0.... And Gakuhai said it was a performance to be seen!!!!! That atashi no Gakucchan was all happy while he performed!!!! I want to see my Gakucchan happy, dammit!! I have to wait for May 17 to see it! ....-.- argh...
Anyway, in other news (yeah right), I was able to find my speakers (yay) and remove the Philips headset from my head. it kind of started to suffocate my ears or something, and it was damn hot, thus it was really irritating. I started to search for an alternative, and i got speakers, and the only place where i can store them near my computer was underneath the table, on the floor.
Yes -- my computer table is that such of a mess that i don't have a place for my speakers. O.O It's my corner of the house. Most of my junk can be found there, uh here, (?) like sketchpads, a few manga, pens and all. Even my snack food's stored there (sort of). It's actually the corner of the house where i almost stay all day. (poor me...) Also, I have an assortment of things polaced here -- pen refills, my once nasal medicine, sharpeners, post-its, eye medicine...cell phone chargers, cola...O.O I've got a stack of See's sugar sticks stored in a Jack mug next to my tablet, with a giant whirly lollipop propped against my monitor...a bottle of cola resting near the scanner, and two boxes of giant Pocky near the paper shredder. O.O My my it's so messy... I'll have to clean up...
but first i want to take a picture of it now it's full of stuff and all -- don't worry, all candy/bar wrappers are thrown in the trash can, a few paces away from my comp. and I do get out of my computer chair. (erk) I'll label the things in the pic and show it to you! ...damn, my violin's even stored here...
Oh look -- Mr. Mexican Pig's near the Pocky boxes.
ANYWAY...I started using Corel Painter 8, and i'm sort of getting the hang of it. (SORT OF.) problem is i want to go and get that fancy watercolor effect that's mild and all...i SURE don't know how to do that, but I'll learn...someday. O.O

He's gone back to his old style, his j-rock-y songs and happy and noisy ones. Not that I don't like Love Letter, but these songs hmm...let's say, they represent Gakucchan more than Love Letter. :D Don't get it? ok.

Damn those markers.Yesterday i told you guys i bought my prismacolor markers in the US, right? well, i thought the markers are okay (well, they are, except for one thing.) I tested my markers yesterday afternoon and goddamn it i don't have one for skin tones! All i had was Peach, and that damn color makes the characters look like they've been burned. O.O I was damn worried about what would i do, so i scoured the internet on tutorials and whatever things needed to adjust.
UNFORTUNATELY, there was no information on how to color someone's skin with just PEACH. they had all other colors -- the people who wrote those tutorials -- like Eggshell and Salmon Pink and Sand...all colors that i DON'T have, dammit. so i was worried sick -- what the hell can i color if i can't color someone's skin, eh?! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggh...
So what i did was i went to the Prismacolor site, got that color chart there, and scoured it for the colors that would be perfect for skin tones. And earlier today i asked my mom if i can order the markers i needed. (wanted)
And she agreed. I paid her 4/5 of the money needed (it's for a good cause anyway :D). But this probably means that i won't be able to buy Ribon for May (nooo...that has SDC as a cover! T.T) and the rest of Hana-Kimi...and God Child. T.T i'll probably have to ask for it one the next six months has passed. or something. or if i become an outstanding student the first quarter.
Yeah, I'll do that.
I also got my new TABLET! *love love* It's a pain to use, though. But i'll get used to it....someday. And the Corel Painter 8 is so cool too...(yeah, i know I'm ranting about art materials here...^^') although i'm still trying to learn how to use it (Photoshop was damn too hard for me), it's still cool. ^^; i'm going to color Kazu and Ta-ko once i've learned how to use it!!!!!
I'll post later...probably.

This is gonna be a long one.Whoo!!! after two days' worth of sitting in an airplane chair, busying myself with nothing but watching movies and playing in-flight games (i couldn't draw because my brother was sitting beside me), i am finally back home! Actually, it's already 4:36 in the morning (couldn't sleep -- when i arrived here at home i immediately went to sleep without the bedcovers on -- 7:00 pm, i think.), and since i can't sleep, I'll decide to rant on my trip to the United States! (yeah, probably for most people out there going to the states isn't a big deal anymore, but it sort of is to me, since i got to eat stuff.)
Oh, and since i really can't sleep, i'll rant about it in detail. with a few mentions of teh love of my life around there somewhere.
Departure:
Nothing much happened -- m y dad lost his stylus for his PDA in NAIA, therefore asking me to search the floor for that stick used to poke the screen. Singapore Airlines is a really cool air...line. They have 60 movies and most of them are really recent -- like Ocean's Twelv e and the Aviator and whatnot. in PAL you get stuck with Judy Ann Santos...o.O
Singapore:
Singapore, I must say, is a really cool place. I mean, they have KINOKUNIYA!!! I went crazy when we entered Takashimaya -- when i saw the sign for Kinokuniya I immediately dragged my dad to it. But my mom wanted to go to the LV store and we were stuck there...sort of. After that my dad and brother were stuck with me in Kinokuniya. Food is really nice -- my dad's business-partner-things treated us to dinner and lunch. uwa...in that Singapore...Raffles Club, i think. basta astig.
Kinokuniya:
Man, this place is heaven, dude. I mean it. well..not really, but it's a really nice place. REALLY nice. see, i even dedicated a whole section to it (later I'll dedicate another section to another b ookstore)! It was full of so many stuff -- it's like they have all the books in the world there, in five languages, I think. And judging by the name, you should be sure that they have Japanese titles -- and they do!!! (*squeeee*) They had lots and lots of manga, and i found Shinshi Doumei Cross 1, and Ribon (april), and What's In with LARUKU AS THE COVER!!!!!! WHAA! Hyde and Tetsu were so cute, Ken with teh appeal, and...Yukki. Yukki's not bad -- just can't find words to describe him. :D On the way back here we're supposed to spend a night again there, but didn't. If we did, I would be able to get Ribon (may) and that Area 37 with Gackt with teh long hair as the cover!! ><>
Departure (singapore to hong kong):
Nothing much really happened -- except i spilled coke on myself in the airplane and on the singaporean guy beside me (how humiliating ><) i was able to draw *did a Mayumi sketch, but failed* because it was my dad who was beside me, and that singaporean guy. and I read ribon along the way. ><>
Departure (hong kong to san francisco): (see how many stops we made?! but SIA is still cool.)
Here nothing happened. watched a few movies (spongebob squarepants and another one...finding neverland? forgot.) and ate. and slept. SIA kept serving us food (probably planning to get us fat)
San Francisco/San Mateo:
Oh man, this is where the trouble starts. My Dad was forced to drive on the Freeway on our first night. ><...we kept going in circles...>
We stayed in San Mateo, btw. It's nice there, quiet...and stuff.
It's a real cool place -- my tito Noel showed us around downtown San Francisco the second day (april 16). I was with my Tito Ed and Pam, so it was good -- we went to Pier 39 and that winding road thing, went to the Golden Gate Bridge -- you know, tourist stuff. It was a whole lot better than those racks of clothes and malls were my Mom brings us to in the States. o.o She always drags us to shopping malls and we end up walking all around the malls for the whole day. I am not kidding. I wanted to go to that Japan Town thing, but our sked was too hectic to do so.
SO, we did nothing much there except shopping.
Los Angeles (actually, Anaheim, but whatever):
Here, another chapter starts -- we drove all the way from San Mateo to Anaheim, which took us 7 hours or more. So in that long period of a time we were stuck in the car we rented doing nothing but stare at the vast lands that the US possess. Damn, they have too much land. I mean, you can see nothing but land. O.O and we passed by lots of orange farms (is that right?) so whenever we passed by i was sort of dizzy since you sort of see a pattern in an orange farm when you pass by. Don't get it? ...it's okay...:D
We stopped in Anaheim and stayed in a hotel right across Disneyland. :D my cousin Pam was with us, so it wasn't boring for me at all.
DISNEYLAND:
We went to Disneyland first -- the Disneyland park, not the Disneyland California Adventure. It was nice -- filled with the classic disney stuff: Disney princesses, Mickey Mouse and his troupe of friends and whatever -- but Jack was there! Jack Skellington! But there was more of him in California Adventure.
Anyway, we mostly rode on the roller coaster type of things. the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride was nice, the Haunted Mansion thing, and the Indiana Jones thing...When we were in the Haunted Mansion ride I accidentally sat on my water bottle, so it squirted water all over the seats -- we went out of the ride with our jackets wet (it was still damn cold in that place, especially in San Mateo). We also rode on that new Buzz Lightyear thing -- where you ride and shoot targets with laser guns.
and that's Disneyland for me. It was fun. I actually wanted to see Princess Aurora (she's my fave. :D)...we got to see Chip and Dale instead..
DISNEYLAND CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE:
Now this -- this is fun. the first ride we went to was the Hollywood Tower Hotel, the ride for the Twilight Zone. It was just like the one in Ocean Park, but there were screen which show the horror story behind it. The queue was damn long and winding -- the details were really very cool. You'd really think it's a hotel. what you do there is you sit in a service elevator type of thing, and it goes up and down in a horrific speed, so fast that you can feel your ass is away from the seat. O.O wonders of gravity. and it stops suddenly, then goes to make your ass elevate from the seat again.
There's another ride worth telling -- the California 'Screamin. Damn that roller coaster -- it's really cool, and good to ride, but damn it was fast. I mean it. you can feel yourself being pushed hard against your seat as it accelerated. As usual, my stomach was doing its weird things whenever i was in a roller coaster (or in a swing high up in the air), and luckily i don't vomit after roller coasters. :D It was real damn fast, and when we went to the loop i felt my head being pushed down to the safety thing. wha. My brother wanted to go to Six Flags, and i started to think how damn fast the roller coasters there are. O.O
There's also the ferris wheel -- forgot what it's called, but it's cool. They have swinging gondolas. My dad didn't want to use the swinging gondola since the line for it was too long. There's also a large Orange ride that's like the Flying Fiesta in EK...and i bought my JACK SKELLINGTON MUG there!!! *love love* it's soooooo cool -- actually, i wanted the sweater with Jack's face on it, but it was too expensive, so i settled with a Mug, and the largest whirly lollipop. O.o I loved those, since when my mom first went to disneyland, she brought back home those large whirly pops. Love love.
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS:
This is a real cool place. They have that giant electric guitar in the CityWalk, and twenty something theatres showing the latest movies, and that Popcornopolis thing. I finally saw that Hot Topic store there, the one everybody's been talking about.
We went to the park and went through the Van Hellsing ride first. It wasn't that scary -- it was just so dark inside that you can't see anything. This time my cousin Pam and Tito Ed were with us. Pam kept screaming inside...o.o Anyway, I was just startled with the large damn mechanical bear at the end.
The the Mummy ride was cool -- but damn short. Man, most of these rides were damn short. I was quiet most of the time since i just got over a bout of fatigue (imagine, walking for six days non stop, each for the whole day! o.O)
We also didn't get to catch the Studio Tour and a whole lot of great rides -- the park closed too soon. o.o
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA:
alright, another long trip. this time Pam wasn't with us, so i busied myself with writing down my ideas for HakuKuchi and realized that there was still a lot left to write. Kazu and Tako still yet to make those jealousy scenes -- you know, the one where Tako would do something really nice and lovey-dovey with Suzuki while Kazu's still there, watching, feeling the jealousy that had been buried a long time, deep in his heart, being brought back to life.... don't get it? okay.
This trip was another punishment to our feet. we walked along the strip, from the Aladdin up to Treasure Island, then to the Venetian and back. The Bellagio dancing fountain was sooo cool -- it was the show I liked best. Really, really cool. You should go see it.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA:
A long trip as well. whenever I'm alone (meaning cousin Pam is not with us) i passed the time by listening to my mp3 cd (and some other cd's) and writing down more ideas for HakuKuchi, and the newly materialized ideas for the sequel to the Sirius/Aurora thing I have written two years ago. :D Here I met with my Tito Mitch and Tita Annabelle, and my cousins Myles and Max. They're soooo cute! :D Actually, i was inspired to do my Sirius/Aurora thing because of Myles -- Tita Annabelle said that at the age of 4 he already had a girlfriend, and that the pattern was consistent -- blonde and sweet. at the age of six he even has a fanclub! O.O ang cute cute kasi. And Max, his younger brother, was damn cute too. Sa akin lang dikit ng dikit...ang cute cute pa!!! O.O ang cute cute magsalita, pero ang bata-bata manyak na kagad! o.o pero ang cute nya!

BORDERS (the other bookstore, but Kinokuniya's still a dream):
Here i found Hanazakari to Kimitachi he, called by americans by the name Hana-Kimi, fully translated, except they didn't change the names and the manner of reading it. What a dream. I read it on the way back to San Mateo, and I am in LOVE (whoo!) with Nanba Minami! o.o and that gay doctor, Umeda-sensei! whaaaaaaaaa...Sano Izumi's really handsome too. and Mizuki--chan is sooooooooo cute. i used my own money. o.o
I bought 1-5. i'll m y uncle to buy the next tankoubons, and complete my God Child, and Ribon. (shizumasa you IDIOT!! you are so damn dead! x.x)
back to SAN MATEO:
believe it or not, after just two weeks of being away from home, I really want to go home. Sanay kasi ako na nabubulok sa bahay at wlang ginagawa, kaya mahal na mahal ko bahay ko. dun sa San Mateo we were accompanied once again by my tito ed and pam. Helped us to do lots of things and last minute shopping -- i bought a truckload (not really) of See's candies for my friends. I also bought my LS-ASOUE DVD there (i think) (LIAM! *love love*) orig..O.o took out my own money for it... earlier this trip i bought my PRISMACOLOR MARKERS here (*love love*). and then...ano pa ba...met up with my cousins Andrew and Mark.... and then went home!!!! :D
Departure (San mateo to hongkong; hongkong to singapore; singapore to manila):
Nothing much. watched In Good Company, Mulan, Ima aitainiyukimasu, 50 first dates and Hide and Seek in the airplane.tska Killing Me by Laruku was on the in-flight audio broadcast. hirap nga lang tsempuhan. when we got out of the SIA airplane once we've landed in Manila, all i can say was 'shit, ang INIT!!!!' but i love my home. i really do. pagdating ko sa bahay plakda kagad! : D
Overall -- the trip was really nice. bukas ko na babanggitin lhat ng bagay na nangyari between me and teh love of my life (whoooooo!!!!!!! kung di nyo alam kung sino un, nandito un in teh blog somewhere! he's...around there...somewhere...:D). Well, actually wla maxado. uwaaaaaa...Gakucchan aitai! Manga analysis would be posted mamaya siguro, about my realizations with Hana-Kimi.
