Kiwi

Sa dalawang taon na iisang ruta na tinatahak ko, iisang jeep lang ang sinasakyan ko papunta't-pabalik ng UST, eh maari pa rin akong maligaw.

Yung tipong gabi na kasi, kaya nakakapraning sa daan. Feeling mo maho-holdap ka kahit na 5110 lang yung cellphone mo, at mababa pa sa isang daan ang laman ng violet metalic polkadots coinpurse mo. Pero siguro kung nangyari nga yun eh manghihinayang ako sa ballpen ko na ilang buwan ko na ring karamay sa pag-sulat, topaking e-dictionary na galing pa sa tatay ko mula kabilang dulo ng mapa at ang 2-years-old kong Quiapo-slash-China made kong mp3 player at putol na pekeng earphones. Hmmm...siguro yung xerox ko rin ng In Cold Blood. Bukod dun, wala na talaga silang mapipiga sa akin. Baka mas marami pa silang pwede kong holdapin eh.

Sa kapraningan, napa-para ako sa jeep na tungo pala ay Harrison Plaza. Nagtanong naman ako kung hanggang Pedro Gil yun eh. Problema inisip ko sagot niya, oo, kaya sumakay na ako. Napansin ko nalang iba na yung mga dinadaanan. Ibang-iba. Tae, buti nalang nag-tanong na ako kung hindi, alas onse y medya na eh nasa Baclaran pa ako. Sa kagandahang palad, naka-uwi naman ako. Nahanap ang ibang ruta ng pedro gil at ngayon ay nabuhay na i-kwento ang "adbentyur" ko.

Sayang, wala akong dalang camera, kasi buhay na buhay yung streets na dinadaanan ko. Lumagpas pa nga ata ko ng Malate. Madaming Hotel at motel, KTV bars and restaurants, madalas korean o japanese. Pero ang nakapukaw pansin sa kin dun yung 24 hours na Korean Grocery at Wine Store. Yung grocery, gusto ko sana pasukin kaso mas iniisip ko paano umuwi eh. Yung Wine store ang astig! Kala ko kasi may mga ganun lang sa palabas o Europe. Astig....sobrang astig nung itsura nung lugar...

buti nalang talaga nakauwi kundi baka nasa pasig na ako ngayon o baclaran, ngumangawa. Haha! Tae. Kakapagod. 

Tipaz. Mas okay.
Masarap balikan minsan yung mga chibog na masarap lafangin bandang
hapon, basbasan mo pa ng malamig na softdrinks...hayoooop! Granada de España! Combo yun ha. pero wag ka. Naranasan ko ng ma-depress dahil sa piraso ng hopia.
Kamalasan ba naman na pinanganak ka lang na mababang tao sa lipunan, panahon pa ng tag-gipit, kaya malamang gugutumin mo ang sarili mo para makapag-tipid. Pero kung pantawid gutom mo nalang ay hopia, eh magiging masaya ka na. Eto ang problema.
Kakagatin mo nalang yung kapirasong kaligayahan na iyon, ay babalandra sa'yo yung mainit-init pa, naguumapaw sa sahog at maamoy na hati ng pizza ng Pizza Hut. Luwa mata. Tapos, partneran mo pa ng malungkot na kanta. Yung tipong koreyano man ang salita, eh pakiramdam mo inaapi ka na.
Ganun. Matatawa ka nalang na maluluha. Para kang pingipingot habang
kinikiliti ng tadhana. Waw.

Flat shoes na may takong. Fish fillet ko ang pagiging hagedorn Galileo Galilei sa harap ng kyorai na Caridad Sanchez na yon! Anchuwanga niya! hmp!

Haay...tama na muna ang gay lingo.

May karanasan ako tungkol sa mga "lights" kanina. Yung bumbilya, gaga. Kasi, nung nasa Quiapo bridge na ako, pababa ng Lawton, sumabay sa bilis ng sasakyan at malamig na simoy ng hangin ang tanawin sa bintana. Sa di kalayuan, ay may makikita kang daan na puno ng ilaw. Pula, asul at berde, na nagre-reflect sa tubig. Sumabay pa ang katamtamang bilis ng LRT na tila binati ako sa ganda ng dilaw na ilaw nitong makikita sa bintana. Parang kumakaway sila sa akin at nag baba-bye.
Yung sa jeep naman na sasakyan ko papuntang Guadalupe. Punuan na kasi noon kaya nung pagsakay ko, ay kailangan ko medyo makipag-unahan sa iba. Huminto yung jeep sa gilid na madilim, nung pagtingin ko sakto sa loob dahil aakyat na ako, biglang umilaw lahat ng ilaw! Ang liwa-liwanag! Bonga!!! Para bang binuksan para sa akin yung mga ilaw at nagsasabing, "Maligayang pagsakay, Emperatris" Churva!
Siyempre feelingera din ako minsan eh. Haha!

Andami ko pang dapat na i-kwento at i-share, pero fly na muna ang lola niyo sa dream land. Ayokong maging mag-mukhang bolivia. Ahahaha!

Babush!

should i really celebrate?

i guess i should...napaka walang hiya ko naman kong hindi ko ma-aapreciate yung bigay sa akin. tsaka totoo naman eh, naa-apreciate ko naman talaga, kasi kahit papaano, meron.

yun nga lang...

ang plastik ko naman kung sasabihin kong di ako disappointed.
kasi naman eh...

akala ko notebook size lang
akala ko pentium 3 pataas...
akala ko 20G HD pataas
akala ko brand new
akala ko internal ang wifi hardware

gyarrr

"specs"

halos kasing laki ng IBM sa iskul
black
old version (DELL Latitude)
2nd hand (burado na yung ibang letters sa keyboard)
intel inside celeron
10G hard disk (4.5 G nalang ngayon dahil sa mga programs)
medyo mabagal ang start-up
external ang wifi (may card na ikakabit-ness)
kelangan ko pa ng portable at MALIIT na adoptor kasi 120 V ito (tang na, kung meron man nun....)
Eva Kalaw.... T_T

katulad ng 5110 ko,
"pre-historic"
oh well...

atleast may flash disk na ako na 2G! NYAHAHAHA! Memorex pa! WEE~
ayan, sabi ni kuya, 12G na yung storage ko kasama yung flashdisk. nga naman.
ang arte ko, di na ko dapat nagdadadak-dak tungkol dito kaso....gyar.
parang nakakahinayang din kasi minsan. Siyempre, bibili ka nalang ng something na mahal, eh di gandahan mo na. Ang tatay ko talaga, basta mura ayos na! Alam ko naman dun ako nag-mana, pero pagdating kasi sa mga gadgets, malandutay ang lola niyo. Gusto yung maka-luwa mata na itsura at performance. HAHA!

oh well uli....

May pangalan na siya, DANTE. La lang. okay naman siya, actually. Ano lang, my dad could've bought something better. Really. Yung mas mataas yung memory at mas bagong processor. >_< Sabi ko kasi bigay nalang sa akin yung pera, dito nalang ako bibili eh...ang kulit!!!

ang maganda dito, makakapag-internet na ako sa 1st floor namin ng hindi nalulusaw sa init kasi may portable PC na aketch!
sana lang mapagana ko yung wifi. kasi sayang, libre na sa iskul. At fish fillet ko din na di pa nata-try ng tatay ko na paganahin yun! hmmmmm....

DL here i come!!!
XD

Yosh!
Yoshi!!!
Yatta!!!!

tapos naaa... nasa ikatlong palapag na ang matataba kong galamay, gumagapang pataas...
sandali... tila may humahatak sa akin sa likod....

*looooong sigh*
(you have to imagine a chubby lady doing this to get the feeling---or just for my own satisfaction.)

10 days.
---till my verdict.
---till my birthday.

Doushi yo?
Doushi yo?

Paano kung di matupad yung pangako na mabawasan ang tres ko?
Paano kung salubuning ako ng mga singko?
Paano kung may kailangan pala akong i-summer?
Paano kung bagsak ko pala ay siyam na yunits?
Paano kung debar na pala ako?

Saan ako pupulutin?

...


10 days.
---till my birthday.

Doushi yo?
Doushi yo?

Paano kung wala akong matanggap na pera?
Paano kung magutom kami ng nanay ko?
Paano kung malaman kong incompetent pala ako para maging tutor at mas mainam na maging chubby sales girl ako sa MOA?
Paano kung hindi ako maka-attend ng mga magagandang conventions sa mga susunod na buwan kasi awanti datung!?
Ahhhh....ang hirap maging poor!  


Ang totoo, combo yan eh. Sa araw na yon, either tatalon ako sa tuwa o mapapatalon ako mula sa tuktok ng main building dahil madami akong bagsak. Lintian, eto nanaman yung "countdown". Sino ditong nakakaalala nung "death clock" na kumalat noon sa internet? Yung kapag linagay mo dun yung birthday mo eh may bibigay sa'yo na eksaktong date kung kelan ka mamamatay. Kagaguhan. Hindi ko alam na tao na pala ang makapagsasabi kung kelan ka mamatay. Specific pa ha. Kung iisipin, kung totoong nagmimilagro yung mapanlinlang na website na yon eh, halos bilyon na tao ang naloko niya. Kung totoo man yon, bilyon na bilang ng tao ang kaya niyang bigyan ng date ng kamatayan nila? Chenes! Hanep talaga ang teknolohiya no? Ang mas nakakamangha pa, ang daming naniniwala sa mga ganun. Naaalala ko pa yung senior ko sa school org namin, ipinaskil niya pa sa dingding ng office namin bawat "death date" namin. Hanep, may naniwala. May umiyak pa ata. May kinabahan. Hala ka diyan~

Sandali, ba't nga ba ako napunta sa death clock na yon. Shet. La lang.

Sa puntong ito, pumanhin nalang kung halo-halo na ang lenggwahe. Masaya lang. Para mayabang. Kunwari madami akong alam, puro basic lang naman.
Pero ang angas siguro maging polyglot, ano? Hanep na Jose 'yon. Super genius. May IQ test na ba sa panahon ni Rizal? Gusto ko lang malaman yung IQ niya, baka kasi beyond super genius na eh, parang perpekto. AH! *impersonation of Sir Satoquia* Hindi nga diba? Yung Rizal kasi namin, 'yon yung pinapakita. Siguro fanatic nung bayani yung author ng libro. Dagdag mo pa na super fanboy yung teacher namin. (^^V sorry sa mga fans niya)

Ahhhh! Kung saan-saan nanaman ako napupunta ng sinasabi eh.
Di ko alam kung tawag dito "Stream of Consciousness" or "Kalat na utak" eh.

_{My brother has graduated! YEHEY!!!}

Akalain mong may papatoas pa sa 5110 ko?!
Oo, nanakaw yung so-called pre-historic/remote/pangkaskas ng yelo na cellphone ko. Hoy, worth 300-500 pesos pa rin yon ha. Pantawid gutom ng isang linggo.
Ayoko nga sisihin yung sarili ko, kasi nung araw na 'yon eh magang-maga na yung mata ko sa pagod. Kailangan kong umiglip kung di baka makatulog ako habang tumatawid. Kung sino man yung bastos na yon na lumaslas sa gilid ng bag ko at tumangay sa cellphone ko, iisipin ko nalang na isa kang fanatic na antique collector. Ang Nokia 5110 na unang naging mainstream na cellphone sa Pilipinas (oo, alam kong existing na ang 9110 nun, yung mukhang remote talaga pero may WAP at may monitor at keypad), ay face-out na, kaya sa pagka-desperado niya ay kailangan niyang manira ng bag at kuhanin yung pinahiram lang sa akin na gamit. Shet. Kala ko pa naman ligras na ako sa mga magnanakaw dahil 3G na yung mga target nila ngayon; kala ko pa naman isasampal nila sa asar sa akin yung cellphone na iyon kapag nakita nila, di pala. Pera pa rin yon. Haaay. Ayon, iisipin ko nalang na sa susunod na mga taon, eh makikita ko na ang cellphone ko na naka-display sa isang antique gallery. Oh diba? BONGA!

Here's the fangirl talking...

The Lonely Ring Finger

 

A poignant and sweet love story…

I just finished reading Only the Ring Finger Knows first novel, The Lonely Ring Finger and *sigh*, as always, it left me with this longing feeling of experiencing love myself. I know this is a surprise, coming from me and I know it’s overly mushy, but the relationship of Wataru and Yuichi is something to be envious about.

Hopefully, a book review would follow after reading the whole series. So far, I have been able to finish the manga, and the first and last novel, The Lonely Ring Finger and The Ring Finger Falls Silent. I don’t know how many times I’ve given a special post about this series, proof just how much I love it, how admire the beauty that Satoru Kannagi-san has graced us, shounen-ai otakus.

Contrary to what some people think of me, I’m not a perv all the way. I fell in love with boys love (shounen-ai) first, even before I became a loyal follower of yaoi. So many have misunderstood the term “yaoi”, and I guess it became a general term when I refer to something I see as “gay”-ish. Haha! Looking back at this statement, I guess it is my own fault. I get all giggly when it comes to stuffs like these, and impulsively shout “YAOI!!! AHHH! Ang-Yaoi!”

Well, I can only laugh at that mistake now. I still prefer a good love story over steamy, “smexy” visuals (or maybe I have to rethink that). It would be great if the manga or novel offers both.

I hope all the novels would be turned into manga, knowing how Odagiri-san draws the characters so well, to worship is an understatement.

 

Peace Maker Kurogane

 

Mao and I finished our 2-day Peace Maker Kurogane marathon. It's been a while since I've finished a whole anime. I would say it is a good watch. But the plot sort of blurred by the end of the series. Mao commented that it focused on character developments, rather than the unfolding events. I guess I was anticipating more on the end of the Tokugawa era and the weakening of the samurai groups, like the Shinsengumi. But I guess it serves only as a background. Japanese history delight.

Kurogane - the kanji for steel/iron. Also pronounced as 'tetsu' in the case of Tetsunosuke's name. (http://www.geocities.com/dixmbrbaby/glossary.html)

So there, the "maker of peace" _{(geez, Ryoma-san, can you give me a clearer explanation of a 'Peace Maker'. Don't sing the anthem again, damn it!)} is Tetsunosuke Ichimura, the unfortunate 15-year old with dwarfism as his curse, unfit for his loud mouth. He's a sweet heart actually, especially when he cries. He even gets a lady and the attention of the ladies at Shimabara. Wow, talk about being the leading man. You get eeeverything *rolls eyes* to yourself. If I'm not being lazy like, right now, I'd give an overview of the whole anime. Yes, including what I'm talking about, characters, historical background, etc.

Hmmm...maybe I will. One of these days, who knows! I want to brag about Hijikata-sama at least! Who is he? WHO IS HE?! Well...he's the epitome of coolness (and brutality). I think I really have a thing with older men...tsk!

Hijikata Toshizo, is a popular anime character--as popular as he was in real life. He was the second in command of the Shinsengumi. A well-respected and feared commander of the group. This historical figure is written in history to be a true "oni" (demon); cold, brutal and author of the Shinsengumi regulations, which upon violation may equal to the act of seppuku (honorable act of slitting the abdomen). The character of Aoishi Shinomori of Rurouni Kenshin was based on Hijikata Toshizo, according to the creator himself, Nabohiro Watsuki, likewise with many of the other characters, including Kenshin. In Peace Maker Kurogane, giving the anime a positive impression until the end, made the character of Hijikata, sympathetic and more human than how he is usually portrayed. Of course, the thing with Souji Okita...his lover? In the anime of course! We can see the look... we heard the concerned words...the care in his voice! *nosebleed* AH! Lucky bastard... only Souji can tame this demon. See? Now that's where all the fanfics and doujinshi starts to fly over the net, and I'm the vacuum that collects them! And then I start to lose my point....

-_-... errr... yeah. I love Hijikata-sama very much. And Susumu Yamazaki is the smex. He is... how can one character have so much sex appeal in one frame?! *nosebleed*

Fuck, I'm getting my monitor all messed up. Got to go and rest...

Before I go, are there any kind soul who would want to lend me the whole Rurouni Kenshin series? I've been wanting to re-watch the whole anime, since last semester, after finishing the lesson about Japanese history. Gah! I love Sir Baron for explaining it so well! I've been a big fan of the anime since it was first aired on Studio 23, as "Samurai X", but I have to admit, I get lost when they talk about assignations and politics in the anime, because I don't know the historical background till I was in second year collage! Boke! BOKE!!!

Gomen nasai. Really, anyone? I'll watch it with you, if you like!

trip-trip lang toh at pwedeng gayahin sa kanya-kanyang blog. Wala lang, naha-high pa ko sa Peace Maker Kurogane ngayon eh, kaya tuloy-tuloy na yan hanggang Sunday! wohooo~

 

micchie: _{*nosebleed* Putek, since mas malaki yung picture na ito kaysa dun sa nauna kong post eh napansin ko na sobrang wafuuuu pala ni Susumu at Hijikata-sama ditooooooo!!! OMG! Makalaglag-something ang mga tingin! Tignan niyo si Souji, kapag katabi niyan lalake, babaeng-babae ang dating! OMG! Uke-ness! Ahahay~ at bakit naman basa ang dalawang batang ire? Uuuuy...si Susumu ang sama ng tingin oh...selos... sandali, bakit nga ba andiyan si Suzu? Pinayagan ka ba ng Sensei mo? HA?!}

 

micchie: _{take your pick, madam...}

_{para sa mga mama-san ang bentahan dito ha! Nyahahah! jokes lang! At tignan mo naman kung maka-emote ang mga yan ha! I see legs *gulp* and chests... AHHHHH!!!!! Infainess naman, the best fokfok pose goes to....*drumroll* SUSUMU!!! bagay na bagay hindi ba? Akalain mong napaka seryoso niyan 22 episodes out of the whole 24?! tapos lalandian niya ko ng ganyang picture? Susmarya! *nosebleed* sabi ko na nga ba eh... Pero si Souji, wala na, eternally reserved na yan para kay Hijikata. Tignan niyo nga oh, inangkin niya na yung lap ni Souji. Sige, mahulog ka sana diyan! Tetsu, my dear, wag kang ngumiti ng ganyan...yung mga puso ng mga phedo tulad ni Yamanami, Kodou at iba pang pwede, eh natutunaw na. Tsaka, tsk! magagalit nanaman si Tatsu-nii nyan! Hoy! Suzu! Anong umeemote ka rin dyan! Ampon ka na ba? ha?! AMPON! AMPON na si Suzu!}

 

micchie: _{dapat ko nga bang okrayan ang isang napaka makabagbag damdaming litrado na ito? ... Siyempre naman OO! Mwahaha! Super emote naman si fafa Hiji! Oh well, kung mamatayan ka nga naman ng uke, malolongkot ka talaga ne? Well Souji, alam kong diretso langit ka naman dahil nanatili ka sa malalaki at mainit na bisig ni Hijikata-sama hanggang sa huli mong hininga! Pero infainess ha, wala yan sa anime...wala! Except na nga lang kung may katuloy yung Peace Maker Kurogane at hindi namin nalalaman... I think official picture naman ito, kasi sabi ni Mao galing sa photobook. So does that mean na yaoi/shounen-ai ang PMK? OHHHH... wateber! We'll do the slashing (hindi literal ha, although mga samurai ang pinaguusapan dito) ourselves! Pero Hijikata naman, yung hawak mo puro dugo na, ikaw wala ka man lang bahid ng kahit anong dumi! at buti naman di ka naka-EMINEM look ngayon ha, kundi baka kung saan dumaan yan si Souji, sige ka. Hoy Susumu, ano yang pa-touchy-feeling ka dyan! Tetsu! lumayo ka! isa yang hayuuup! Pero bagay kayo ha...di nga. Ay! oo nga pala, 15 ka na. hyukhyuk! Suzu, pinagalitan ka no? lakwatsero ka kasi eh. Binato ka ng ulo ni Yoshida noh? Tsk! Bad!}

 

 

_{Hijikata: Ano? Mangungutang ka nanaman?}

_{Susumu: Nagmamakaawa po ako, kahit ano gagawin ko, pautangin niyo lang ako...}

_{Hjikata: talaga ha? *grin*}

Micchie: _{Susumu! NOOOOOO! Wag mo gawin yaaan~ wag~~~ baka hindi ka na maka-fly sa mga bubong! Malaki yang si Hijikata! malulumpo ka!!!! NOOOOOOO~}

 

_{Souji: *giggle* Hihihi...}

_{Hijikata: May duty ako eh...}

 

After 10 days...

 

_{Souji: HI-JI-KA-TA-Saan~ *humming*}

_{Hijikata: ha?}

_{Souji: We're going to have *whisper* XXX! hihi...*giggle*}

_{Hijikata: *sigh* fine...}

Micchie: _{Naku si Souji! Sabik! Sige na Hijikata! Pagbigayan mo na! nang mabawasan yang kunot ng noo mo! Chige na...}

 

*yawn* Nakakapagod din to ah! Ang hirap kasi mag-upload ng pictures eh! NYahaha! But I enjoyed this post! I really did! Weee~ more PMK to come hopefully! VIVA YAOISTAS!!!!!

OYASUMI MINNA!

 

I don't want to think that me and Ryuk are alike. No. With that kind of a face, how can anybody want to be paired with such a creature, huh?

Well...
he does loves apples...and so do I...
Isn't that sad?
And I was just eating apples a while ago...
While watching Death Note the movie...

But his is a lot redder. The apple that Light feeds him looks really delicious, it looks straight out of a photograph. Mine is...err...free. From ass-kissing candidates of our city.

Haaay...so much about apples and Ryuk. On a rather contrary note, he doesn't act and speak as evil as he looks.

 

Convinced? Of course not. Watch Death Note yourselves. But I'm sure you'll believe me that he is a God of Death (shinigami), ne? Of course! There's no doubt to that.

Maybe I'll start watching Death Note anime now... or even read the manga. It's no use just watching the movie, I have to know the full story. I know that movie versions can't grasp the essence of the story in 2 hours of film. And I think that the original characters in 2d or ink, will serve me better visuals.

Maybe I'm a little late raving about this anime, since it has become so mainstream but, I like it better that way.

Let us say that I have this little pride of mine. A little out of place; certainly ridiculous. I am a big anime fan. Everybody knows that. But I don't watch anime series that everybody loves at the moment. I wait for the right time that everybody is over the "fever", which signals me the time to rave about it. I don't know when it started, I noticed it recently. For example, BLEACH. I have bought 2 DVD sets of the anime (from Quiapo of course), but until now, I have not watched it. I tried one episiode, but I gave up in the end. Maybe it is not the right time yet. But I don't stay ignorant the whole time. I just learn what is new from my friends. It's easy to know what is the hottest anime on the watch by Filipino otakus, COSPLAY.

Why would you cosplay a character that is barely recognizable by your target audience? Of course you want to be noticed. It is hard enough to copy the original design, being the real thing is the main challenge. I guess that's what I have noticed so far in the local anime community, through friends and conventions that I attend annualy. I don't know if cosplaying for the fun of it seems ideal but, it would be great if that is the main goal.

Am I saying too much already?
"Inconsequenses"
Thank you Manong Jose.

On other rants...
I should be looking for a job now. It is almost April and I have found the resume I did last year, but I'm so sluggish! The moment I'm in front of the PC I totally forget what I should be doing!!!
T^T

I hope I passed this semester, so I can positively look for a job, rather than spending my summer in school or worse, looking for a new one!
Kowai...

On the perv news...
If I'm not mistaken, my friend told me once that there are two versions of "Level C"? The one that has a story and the one that is all the way "eherm"! I have downloaded it a few months back but I don't know which version this is. It is certainly lacking enough plot. Or...is Mizuki's sexual adventure with Kazoumi the plot? Fuck, I don't know. I was watching "Bokuno Sexual Harassment" this afternoon. Typical, yaoi anime. You have a dominating seme, a submissive uke and there you go. Most of my classmates think yaoi is porn, and I'm starting to think so too. But...hell no! There are alot of good yaoi anime that have good stories too! Like the masterpiece, "Ai no Kusabi". Very well done, very well indeed. I'm so into yaoi again these days, maybe I'll have the energy to type the review I did for Ai no Kusabi and share it withy you. Or if you like, use Google. Very useful. I know you'll appreciate that anime, even if you are a guy, ne Mark? (mwahahaha!!! ^^V)

Then last night, I finished the whole folder of InuixKaido doujinshi that was included in the give-away CD from last year's Yaoi Con. So much love. Love Love Love. Inui is a hunk. Although he does look like a total geek sometimes, with his square glasses and data notebook that is always in his hands, if you take a good look at his height and built, or maybe you would like to include his fair complexion and undeniably handsome face features, you have a god, baby! Especially when I saw a pic of him on top of Kaido (he was driving...hehe..), topless of course, AHHHHHH!!! My nose almost splashed with blood! His back is gorgeous!!! Include his arms and *shiver* Ahhh... Inui-san is the smex!

 

And take note, he is the tallest of the Seigaku players ne? Model! Kaido is one lucky bastard! There is also one that features a TezukaxFuji, where they had an argument and Inui found himself helping the couple, in the middle of his own dilemma with Kaidoh.

 

^{The one pointing is Inui. Since it's RAW(raw language = no translation), I don't know what Fuji and Tezuka argued about that pushed Tezuka to tears. It's impossible to see him in the anime like this, but I don't know, I haven't finished it. I mean, it's even a rarity for him to smile, to cry?! I think Inui was trying to explain his data to Tezuka, even though he caught the bucho crying already, that's why he looked shocked in the pic. And of course, hands down again to the doujinka(s)! Tezuka is such a bishie here! Well, it is injustice to the captain to draw him any less gorgeous! XD}

 

Mah...I suddenly want to do a marathon of Tenipuri again...that anime is just too much a teaser!

I want to read the Death Note doujinshis too, but I think I want to immerse myself deeper into the original story of the manga first. Although...browsing the doujinshis required me a lot of strength to restrain myself. Those were really good drawings. Heh.

Ah! I think I just had an epiphany...
Deadlines are a good thing. I suddenly realized and appreciate it while trying to finish a book that I want to return to my classmate this coming Tuesday. Well, of course, deadlines are dreadful if you look at it pessimistically for you have to do something out of your interest, perhaps just to comply for something. Deadlines are added pressure to the frustration of doing the work. But I see it this way. Deadlines is a definite date, right? You have to finish a work in a span of time. So the goal is to finish, and the finish line is the deadline. So in a way, it is directing your time to a specific, significant thing, therefore, you are being productive. Like in my case. It has been a couple of months since I've borrowed the book from my classmate. She asked me if I have finished it a few weeks before our finals because she was thinking of re-reading it. Unfortunately, I have to show her my stupid face, scratch my head and apologize for not even touching it. I asked if I can give it to her next school year and fortunately, she was kind enough to agree and give me a smile. Since I have enough time to do whatever I want since March 22, I took the book from my shelf and started to read it. A smooth read. I was liking it. Then I decided that I have to finish it this week so I can give it back to her on clearance day, which is next week. Now, I'm almost done with it, and i can start on other books that I plan to read this summer. I guess my point here is, deadlines push you to work. You just have to see the point of having it. Even if you are the one who has appointed your own deadline, you can stay strict with yourself, at least you are doing something significant and useful to you, right? Self-discipline is a virtue, indeed.

Ahhh...it's so hot! I have to take a bath now. I don't know if I would be able to post the following days, but to anyone attending Ozine this Sunday, SEE YA!!!!
