What the hell... I continued downloading and reading "Dear Mine" just yesterday night (thank Got Sugarmanga allows ten downloads per day since today) and-- ZOMG! The series ends with volume 04, chapter 21, and I've only got until chapter 21!!! ZOMG!!! Aaaaaghhhh!!!!!!!!

Anyways, at least I've got little time tomorrow. My precious computer with the (still) reliable wifi, prepare yourself for some downloading madness!!! Bwahahahahaahah!!! And Stoptazmo, fwahahahaha I'm going to start downloading One Piece!!! Yaaaaaay!!!

<*dances*>

Yaaay, yaaay, yaaaay!!!

It's raining again!

Ooooh how I love it when it's raining... so cold... so comfortable... so wanna sleep...

Last Tuesday, I got to see BAMBOO live at UP Bahay ng Alumni!!! Luckily there were very few people around (and thank God so few jologs rockers who like bumping into people like it was the Woodstock), and Bebe and I were able to stand soooooooo near the stage! Phew, all those hours of waiting paid off!

Too bad I didn't get to take a pic of him close up, stupid phone with no zoom... Aaaah I was so near yet so far... Near enough to see his face clearly, so far to touch his hand...

Oh well. And that can of Pepsi, ugh, so expensive! P30 for a can of pepsi, which was transferred in a disposable plastic cup, and it really looked like we didn't get all of its contents! THIRTY PESOS DAMNIT!

And there's this totally weird guy who freaked me out! God knows how relieved I felt when Bebe and I finally got to ride off in a cab... I was SO giving him the exact words "Napaparanoid ako" and "Sorry, ayoko talaga (refering to giving cell number)" and that guy was still insisting! Why couldn't he take a hint! Lucky Bebe, at least she's not in direct hit with his questions... Imagine what would've happened if I went so stupid and gave my number... Gah! I'm so pissed off at that guy! Dude, lasing ka ba't di nag-fu-function brain mo?! You said it yourself, you think we're scared of you, you don't want to scare us! Then DON'T insist on things like asking what our cell numbers are! And dude, if you really don't want a person to feel so uncomfortable around you, DON'T insist on a conversation. Or if you want to talk, DON'T get personal. DON'T ask the person's address, number, or anything relating to that person that would make it easy for you to contact him/her! Because people easily suspect on people who could be potential stalkers or buggers or whatever fucking animal you are!

Okay, well now that THAT'S off, I'm writing about the concert again.

Brownman Revival's a really, really cool band (sad to think about their payment, though, there are NINE of them in the group), their music's great, I was swaying the whole time, I must've looked like an idiot, but I didn't care, blame it on them, hehehe. The lead singer, Dino Concepcion, looked like Johnny Depp on stage (and wherever) mainly because of his hair, and those large shades and the clothing he wore that night. I searched for pictures and (hehe) he really kinda looks like Johnny Depp! Weird, I don't like Johnny much physically (but I so love Captain Jack Sparrow), but two people who resemble him in a way makes me giddy all over! One's Ando Masanobu, and the other's Dino Concepcion (recent pics; of Brownman Revival)!

Dino Concepcion getting very drunk Captain Jack Sparrow-like in there... weeee...

Johnny Depp (kyaaaah!) with his 'star' for the Walk of Fame...

Ando Masanobu... *sigh*

See how they look quite alike?

<*squeal*>

Waaaa my blog kinda looks messy (I dunno, I just have that feeling). Since last week (well, actually about a month ago) I've been trying to modify my blog and still trying to tidy it up via the sidebar, so I could easily access my past posts instead of looking for it from the calendar (which would be really haggardous). Anyways, please feel (VERY) free to access my posts via the sidebar.

O kuya, di ka na mahihirapan, hehehe...

Last Friday I did my shoot for our Film112 class' first exercise. I worked with Timmy and Richmond, and we three helped with each other's shoots until early Saturday morning. Our location was (very conveniently) Timmy's new house, and they haven't fully moved in, just some of their things here and there. Quite unfortunately, two trucks of their furniture and things moved in just halfway my shoot, but it was okay, since (obviously) I wasn't one to complain, and since we could easily move things away when needed.

These are Rich and Timmy, coursemates/batchmates/blockmates/orgmates (Rich only) and occasional classmates. Hehe, Rich took this from the Timmy's camera's LCD, which was in night mode. We had a short (sort of) video with us just talking nonsense and stuff, which was shot in night mode, thus we called it our 'scandal' video. Something funny happened in it (not sexual, you naughty minds), but I'm keeping quiet about it or someone might kill us three. Well, just them two, I was just laughing. Okay, make it three.

Wahahahaha, my debut as a ridiculous actress! This is during Rich's shoot, and he made me his main character, since it was based on the life of an artist, and he initially based the location in my room (omg it's really somehow my life...). Maybe he hit on drugs while doing his concept, tee-hee-hee... What's funny was that on the day itself I was dressed in just plain t-shirt (that had, ugh, black-grey stains, darn it I liked that shirt) and green shorts that (I didn't know) was so dirty! Haha! In-character even before shoot, huh?

Me and Rich posing for the camera (Which was Timmy's, again, heheheh).

Wahahahaha! It's my turn now! I was setting up the camera this time, 'feeling' it for the very first time, since, well, that was my first time! Well, I got the chance to hold a mini-dv a few days before, but I didn't set it up myself, I just pushed the record button on and off. This time I really had to adjust things, including the tripod! Yikes!

Well, I was still fixing the camera's settings. Rich was the really the first one to appear, but anyways, Timmy's my actress too. It's kinda funny, actually. We three used the same location, same couch, same camera, same tripod, same light, and our actors were each other! Rich had me, I had both Rich and Timmy, while Timmy had Rich and me! Actually Rich intended to have Timmy in his shoot, too, but unfortunately the time limit (and Sir Lyle) didn't permit him to do so.

That night (waaaay in the night, a bit past midnight) we were still thinking of a concept for Timmy which should use whatever we had at that time. I was really, really, really sleepy that time, so my brain wasn't really working properly (sorry Timmy). Soon we gave in to sleep. After a few hours I felt Timmy wake up, and she said there were a lot of little insects. I looked around us and said "Wala naman ah..." and then FWOOP! Gah! An insect on my neck! SPLAT! A dead insect on my neck! About 2/3 awake, I managed to see that it was a gamugamo, before covering myself with the blanket and going back to sleep.

A few hours later, I woke up and saw that Rich's pillow was on the floor. I wanted to give it to him but since I was still sleepy I didn't move. Then suddenly Rich talked! Well, more like murmur or grunt or something. Wow, I didn't know that he (somewhat) talks in his sleep... Even Timmy heard it!

Then later on, Timmy greeted us good morning and said "Shoot na tayo..." Rich and I started waking up fully and prepared ourselves for her shoot. Luckily we ended up early, and I managed to arrive home early. Unfortunately I fell asleep, so when I woke up I only had about 20 minutes to think and write my 3-page reaction paper to 2006 Gawad Plaridel awardee Tiya Dely. Oh well, I got to finish it on time, and I managed to arrive in school on time. Stupid Saturday class...

2006-07-20T20:20:00.000+08:00

I just came from the 2006 Cinemalaya congress, and attended 2 forums there. The line-up at the first panel I got to watch (which was the second one that day) was composed of some interesting people, which included Marilou Diaz Abaya (whom we'd be doing a report on auteur on Film102) and Jessica Zafra, author of the Twisted books. Sadly, I got bored and my attention managed to keep up with Jessica Zafra.

Now the second panel (officially the third one), was a VERY interesting one, aside from the fact that it's star studded, because the topic was about actors in the indie film. The moderator was Boy Abunda, and the panelists were Gina Alajar, Jacklyn Jose, Irma Adlawan and Ronnie Lazaro.

Boy Abunda. WOW. I was really impressed by his moderating/hosting skills. Seeing him on tv like that impressed me, but he really pushed my impression more upwards because he was really, really good, and he actually contributes to the discussion, which added to its 'color' since his questions and views were interesting, just like the panelists themselves.

Gina Alajar was impressive, as well as Jacklyn Jose. Both provided a lot of humor in their stories, and because of them I found out that Noni Buencamino's not the one who complains however hard his situation or location or whatever discomfort he's feeling as the actor in a production. Irma Adlawan was funny too, but she sounded more serious near the end, but still, her words were something new to us, thus we learned something from her, especially the fact that a lot of theater actors work occasionally in indie films. Too bad Ronnie Lazaro didn't speak much...

The open forum after that was somehow interesting as well, because the panelists answered a lot, and Boy Abunda made sure that it wasn't just a one-way forum (which added to my very good impression of him). There was just this person who annoyed me. It was a woman who spoke on the microphone for too long, and then rose a question which was, I think, somewhat personal and hard to answer (what's the lowest price she could pay [jacklyn jose/actor]). I think Boy Abunda was somehow annoyed, too, or even pissed off, especially when the woman said "Ay hindi ako kukuha ng actors sa YO!" or something like that, which sounded very, very rude, even if she added "Kasi mahal." Boy Abunda retaliated with something like he won't be giving his actors to her, but answered with a laugh. He made it look like it was a joke, but we all know that he was pissed. I mean, who wouldn't, right? It was point-blank annoying like hell, she could've not said that, it wasn't necessary at all, and Boy Abunda wasn't even suggesting his actors for her to use in her documentary shoot! Another anoying thing about her was that she rose the price question, and then she kept on telling Jacklyn Jose "Text mo na lang mamaya!" or something like that. What's the point in asking? Was she trying to brag that she's got Jacklyn Jose's number? SO WHAT?! Ugh, that really annoying bitch...

Anyways, so that's how my experience at the Cinemalaya congress went. I also managed to see Raymund Lee (or Ricky Lee, can't remember who) and some faces I feel belong to someone important, but couldn't remember or didn't know who. Oh well, at least I've got a nametag thing, and a souveneir (which was somewhat a 'guidebook' to the forums and film finalists).

Oh, and the trophy looks cool. A salute to the designer, Gerardo Leonardo.

2006-07-17T19:44:00.000+08:00

They've been worrying like hell for the past few days. I didn't.

NOW I DO.

You see, tomorrow's the day we will pass our first video exercise for Film112, and now I'm kinda nervous about it because I'm afraid everyone would hate my work, but I'm kind of excited too because this is my first ever video project and because I would be seeing how everyone else think and shoot and make a very very short video.

Goodluck to us all.

May the ground crack open and swallow us if we're all bound to be doomed.

Oh God save me...

2006-07-16T20:04:00.000+08:00

OH. MY. GOD.

I just got to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and I was like

"YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Well, my day started out a bit off, since I was kinda pissed off because we left home late (partly my fault, but it was because I was so damn tired and still sleepy since I haven't got enough sleep yet). I was really kinda pissed off, and I wanted to run like hell to the mall, if only I was alone and not accompanied by six other people.

Anyways, when we arrived at the mall, I headed straight to the tiket booth to buy, duh, tickets, just so we could come in without any worries. Unfortunately, we were really late for the schedule, so we have to wait for about 30 minutes just so I won't get so damn spoiled. After a few minutes we gave in and we went in - and fortunately, the movie was finished at the same time! I was going to buy popcorn for me when I heard the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, and I was like "YEEEESSSS!!! It's finished! Yaaay!" and we seven went inside the theater and got ourselves decent seats (my self-proclaimed tradition still unbroken, the one sitting at the center of the theater at the top box for maximum enjoyment). After two commercials, I stood up to buy popcorn outside (which was outrageously expensive, I thought they used gold as cheese) and got in time for the trailers. I think the upcoming movie, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, which stars Uma Thurman, will be a lot of fun (and laughs). I think I'm gonna watch that in the theater, too. If I still have money, that is.

Anyways, after a few trailers, voila! A depressed Kiera Knightley! I think that was kinda overly dramatic, but it helped somehow to the mood of the movie, since it's darker than the first one (especially since Captain Jack's life is actually really threatened and Jack's really "spooked").

One of the things I liked about the movie was that it's obviously a continuation of the first one, meaning there are references to the first movie, like Elizabeth stressing "Captain Jack Sparrow" just like how the guy himself kept on stressing the captaincy title at the first movie, and I liked the lingering obssession for rum ("Why is the rum always gone?"). Basically, the characters were kept 'alive' and the same. Hooray for Captain Jack Sparrow!

Another thing I liked was the super attention for details and sets and stuff (oh how I despise the gory stuff on the devilish damned mermen, ech). Man that surely would be an ass for the storyboard artist/s and production design people. Especially for the art dep. A deep bow to you people.

Oh how I love the way Captain Jack Sparrow runs... He's so cool...

Too bad he probably got swallowed by Kracken. That was an overly dramatic scene for me, I dunno. But still I liked it. I hope that monster gets grilled, how dare it spit on Jack, that humongous ugly beast... grawwwwrrrrr... nat savvy at all!!!

Oh how I really don't like Elizabeth, how I really don't like her at all... At least Will Turner's quite redeemed himself to me. I don't think of him as an ass anymore. "I won't leave without him." Ugh, so gay.

Commander Norrington (or used to be) looks hawt! Too bad he's such an ass, and honor's not so important to him anymore.

Oooohh how I hate the new bastard! I forgot his name, hell I hate him anyway, he's such a large ugly ass with a lot of stinky barnacles and leeches. To hell with that guy.

Davey Jones - nice octupus head, dude. I wonder if he inks...

Bootstrap Bill - I like the starfish on his face, and the rest should go to hell with the new Navy guy.

Elizabeth's father really look thin now. Haha really stressed, huh.

Prison dog - yes, go with the bone you mongrel.

Captain Barbossa. Oh Captain Barbossa! Yaaaay! He's back, oh yes he's back! I really like his character (though not as much as Captain Jack Sparrow). I really thought the man walking down the cool black woman's hut was Jack, but NO, it was Barbossa! With his monkey Jack and favorite green apple! Yaaaay he's back! I'd like to see him and Davey Jones fight! That would probably cool! Hell yeah!

Spoilers, huh?

Want another one?

The "Jar of Death"...

is so fucking useless.

*dances away*

LOL.

In our Film112 class I got to know Michel Gondry. No, not personally (how I wish, though) but through a released dvd set of three directors, one of which was Michel Gondry's. Ever since our instructor showed us a sample of his music video (something of Bjork's), I knew right then and there that he's something to watch. When our instructor played Star Guitar, I was like,

"................................... ooooohhhh.................................."

REALLY. I was so amazed by his pure genius, with the way the video was so smooth, like the staff of a music sheet, with the components (trains, houses, posts, etc) as the notes 'playing' in coordination with everything else! It's so great (not to mention fun) that I really, really, really wanted to take a train ride right then and there!

Here's the video, thank God Youtube exists.

2006-07-15T21:21:00.000+08:00

You think being a film student is easy?

THINK AGAIN, BASTARD!

Math and Science majors are not the only ones who need to stay awake the whole night studying their asses off, Fine Arts students are not the only ones who always need creativity, not to mention back-up plans, Music students are not the only ones who need to harmonize things, Engineering students are not the only ones who have to know the technicalities of things, Nursing students are not the only ones who have to have one of the greatest presence of mind.

FILM STUDENTS ARE LIVING SUPERHUMANS.

They need to always have the energy to move AND to think. They need to always be ready for anything that might happen that could affect their ideas and shoots greatly. They have to have a vast stock of knowledge of the past and the present, and must have an idea of the future to be able to conceive something not so mediocre. They have to have the brains to improvise things and make something out of anything, even with the limitations of his or her measly ten peso change from buying blank tapes.

SUCH IS THE LIFE OF A FILM STUDENT.

Will you survive it? Will I survive it? Hell yeah I should survive it, but could you? I want to survive it, do you? I want to be one of the famous, do you?

DO STILL THINK FILM STUDENTS ARE JUST RICH KIDS WHO DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT THEIR MONEY?

C'mon, my parents constantly remind me to pass everything, just so I'd get to stay in UP and take advantage of the super duper low tuition fee. You think I'm filthy rich? Hell no, you idiot.

STILL THINK OF FILM STUDENTS AS NOTHING?

Try watching 'Living In Oblivion', then imagine them as students instead, striving hard just to pass their subject and earn their fucking diploma and recognition. If that film doesn't change your mind about our situation as film students who are yet to have a big break, FUCK YOU.

2006-07-09T14:55:00.000+08:00

Maaaaan I'm so...

so...

pissed/bored.

You see, to compensate (I think of it as compensation rather than a reward) for our "Yeheey no Com100 class on July 8!", we were to write a paper about our reaction to Tiya Dely, a Gawad Plaridel winner whom we saw last Tuesday.

I was thinking of starting it now, but as I think about the 3-page minimum requirement, my brain starts roaring in retaliation! Ugh! Three pages! And what she said were just the same things over and over again!

Ugh.

I guess I have to follow her word and 'Go!'.

Fuck.

2006-07-09T01:03:00.000+08:00

One of the things I hate in the Filipino 'masa' is that they like owning people. You know, there's this famous person and then they discover that the person's got an inkling of Filipino blood and they start celebrating and saying 'Pinoy yan!' or 'Ang galing talaga ng mga Pilipino!'

Oh c'monst.

It's not like they actually represent Filipinos. They didn't even start here in the Philippines. And they're just half, or one-third, or one-sixteenth.

You know what I mean.

I'm not a 'half-bloods are dirts' freak. What I'm stressing that people should THINK first before saying 'Ay ang galing niya! O di ba, sa'n sila makakakita niyan? Mga Pilipino talaga, ang galing! Talentado!'

Mga tarantado.

2006-07-08T21:03:00.000+08:00

zomg... WHERE'S THIS FEATURED?!!!!!!

*squeal*

2006-07-08T03:17:00.000+08:00

It all started with thegrandline.com. After finishing all I could read about One Piece (and bookmarking each page, how idiotic), I started going around the site. When I reached the horror films part, I saw Battle Royale, shortened into BR in a lot of discussions, etc. Since I seem to come across Battle Royale a lot these days, I decided to check it out.

Yes, folks, I haven't read the novel nor the manga, nor watched the movie at all. And BRII's already coming. I suck.

Anyways, after going through movie/novel/manga reviews, I decided to concentrate now more on the characters and their weapons.

Fork. Pot lid. Binoculars. REALLY. Okay, at least the others were luckier, blade stuff and guns and more. I just wish there were no guns, just to make killing (and surviving) harder. Plus it would be more creative, ne?

Anyways, after going through all of them, I decided to check out the actors. I dunno about the others, but I found two interesting people there. One is Ren Matsuzawa Boy #2, the 37th person to die. His weapon's a Jitte or fighting staff (like ren tao's), and he was killed by Boy #6, the other one I like, Masanobu Ando.

Masanobu Ando plays the role of Boy#6, Kazuo Kiriyama - a deranged emotion-less transfer student who signed up in Battle Royale 'just for fun'. He killed a LOT in the novel. Pretty high maintenance if he's to be your boyfriend, ne?

Anyways, the one I like ISN'T Kazuo, but the actor, Masanobu Ando. After looking at him closely (and seeing another, and much more 'normal', picture of him), I decided to search for some pics. I combed google results (10 pages) for images, and when I wake up tomorrow (err... later, I guess... It's already 3:30am) I'm gonna search the web itself.

To tell you the truth, he's the first ever real guy I liked very much (FAN, okay, not an idiot falling in love for him). Mostly I liked fictional characters (Captain Jack Sparrow included, and not Johnny Depp), so he's really the first actor I get to like (he looks so... kyaaaaah!!!)

By the way, in wikipedia.org the article about him said he's like 'Japan's answer to Johnny Depp' because of the various roles he played, including mentally challenged people, a bank robber, a ninja, a samurai, a doctor, and even a corpse (*sweatdrop* 'corpse groom?').

Aaaaw... He's so cute, ne? He looks like L in this pic. What if he's the one who played L in the DeathNote movie? That would've meant more pictures! Grawwwwrrr!!! Why???!!!

P.S. Don't call him gay, ever!!! Refer to previous pics for basis, and to answer the (ever so annoying) question 'why'.

Kyaaaaaaaaahhh!!!

*faints*

(visit www.battleroyalefilm.net, it's definitely loaded with br stuff. and no, this isn't a paid endorsement.)

2006-07-07T03:34:00.000+08:00

January 2006. One of the days. 19, I guess. But maybe not. Stupid memory problem. Alzheimer's? Hope not.

It was Loren's birthday, so we (k4 blockmates whom I know and are friends with) went to Gateway to watch a movie. It was The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I swear, the White Witch was SO cool. I think her name's kinda like Jadakiss or something. Well, whatever. By the way, she was cool as Gabriel in Constantine. Love her/his killer pose there, so cool...

Anyways, we were walking inside Gateway, when a poster caught my eye. It was like walking a busy path, with everything blurry around you, when something zoomed out just at the corner of your eye, and when you turned to look at it, it was like Hopkin's thing in Vertigo. If I was an animated character, my eyes would've probably popped out.

The poster I saw.

Was.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest.

I swear, my heart was pounding madly, I was all giddy and excited, and seeing little voodoo Captain Jack Sparrow doll I could barely control myself from shouting like a rabid fangirl of the Beatles.

The poster said July 7. Unfortunately here it's July 12. Anyways it's just 5 days late.

.

.

.

Shit I wanna watch it NOW!!!

I checked out the trailer MONTHS ago (just last summer), and it was really exciting, especially after seeing Jack again. Zomg he looks as hot and cool as ever... And still funny too! If I were to fall for a rugged person it would probably be for Captain Jack Sparrow. No, don't get me wrong - I don't like Johnny Depp (but I like him as an actor, he's very creative and so... wacko!). I like Captain Jack Sparrow. As in the fictional character. Now don't get me wrong again, I'm not in love with Jack (stupid!). I just like the idea of a person with that kind of personality. A lot of times unpredictable, yeah, but that's where the fun would be, ne? Being surprised and all...

"Quick! The eager crowd's coming! In to the cinema!!!"

Hahaha lol Jack looked like a Halloween trick-or-treater, a pirate with whiskers, heheheh... Still love that man, though, hehehehe (uh, not in that deep sense).

lol Jack's still very funny and witty...

fuck fuck fuck I WANNA WATCH IT NOW!!! shit why did he have to kiss elizabeth.. shit shit shit I WANNA WATCH IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sniff*

2006-07-07T03:29:00.000+08:00

A few hours ago I felt kinda down (must be the weather... but rainy days make me happy, why was I sad back then? ah heck...). But after listening to a few music (and thanks to Rex in the City) I started feeling good. Throw in a Sugarfree song ('Sinta') and I feel like jumping up and down like a crazy fan. Hmm, must be the coffee. Better control myself with coffee. I just noticed that I couldn't easily sleep nowadays. Must be boredness. I really wish I have my laptop back...

2006-07-06T23:32:00.000+08:00

When I opened the tv at about 10:30, I got to watch the last parts of 19th Awit Awards. I knew Bamboo won a lot (5 awards), but still I couldn't help but scream and get giddy all over when they were announced as the winners. I love Bamboo songs, and I really felt annoyed when I didn't get to watch them live when they came in SM Bacoor. Urgh, I missed that one precious chance! Anyways, I've got a ragna pic with their autographs, even if the pic was quite small, heheheh...

Best Performance by a Group Recording Artist (for "Hallelujah")
Album of the Year ("Light, Peace, Love")
Song of the Year ("Hallelujah")
Best Ballad Recording ("Much Has Been Said", tied with "The Day You Said Goodnight" by Hale)
Best Rock Recording ("Hallelujah")

After the 19th Awit Awards show, the next one up was Rex in the City, in which Rex made me laugh by telling stories about Filipino balikbayans (well, the stereotypical one, like, quite a few years ago).

After 30 minutes of Rex, it's Alumni Homecoming, and the guest star was Jay Contreras of Kamikazee. I was really surprised to know that he was actually a smartass, and even joined (and won) math quiz bees! I was like "WHAT?!!" Of course it wasn't a surprise that he was inclined to art, but when I found out about his mental skill, and about him being in the Boy Scouts, I was like "woah... astig..." He's not the stereotype rocker at all, ne?

Okay, enough about the OPM local bands. After hearing 'Creep' by Radiohead from Richmond's blog (ashrich13.blogspot.com) for, like, more than five times in succession, I suddenly remembered my liking to John Mayer's songs, so I was like "Why hello, Limewire! Long time no download, ne?" So I quickly typed in John Mayer and started downloading like crazy! I swear, when I finally get my allowance for this month I'm going to buy his original albums! The two of them!

(eep! John Mayer looks like Frodo the Hobbit in that pic! well anyways...)

I really like John Mayer's songs, they feel so good to the mind, and whenever I hear it I feel like wishing for rain, because surely it would be a lot better because of its acoustic feel, or I would wish I was in a car or any transpo, with the window open and wind blowing on my face (except when it's raining).

*sigh*

I really wish I have my own car... With a John Mayer or Bamboo cd in the player... That would DEFINITELY make my day...

*sigh*

2006-07-06T20:14:00.000+08:00

When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
I wish I was special,
you're so fucking special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts,
I want to have control.
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul.
I want you to notice,
when I'm not around.
You're so fucking special,
I wish I was special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?.
I don't belong here

She's running out the door,
she's running,
she run, run, run, run, run.

Whatever makes you happy,
whatever you want.
You're so fucking special,
I wish I was special,

but I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here.

CREEP

Creep.

For the depressed.

And for fifa fans and addicts.

2006-07-06T19:04:00.000+08:00

YEAH!!! I will survive!

2006-07-04T10:41:00.000+08:00

Really, everything's so fucked up today. It started with me waking up waaaaaaay late, and then not able to go where I was suposed to go, then not able to meet someone, and then not able to contact and meet someone!

Everything's so fucked up! HONESTLY!

And I'm soooooooo hungry!

I wanna kill someone!

But of course, not eat that person, because that would be cannibalism.

grrrrrrrrr....

I learned something new form Kriz today, and it's quite disturbing because I know some people who are, well, this....

He said that this doctor (something) guest in the Y Speak episode he was in said that homosexuality is, in fact, a hereditary thing. I mean, it's in the genes! And that person also said that scientists (or doctors, can't remember) agree on that! Wow...

Also, I learned from him that bisexuality is actually a psychological disorder! It's one of the signs of being a schizo! Omg, I know a few bisexual people! Could they be shizos, or just plain idiots who can't make up their mind on what gender to like???

Oh well, at least I'm pure hetero, at least I'm sure my brain's fine.

Although sometimes it makes me a wacko or something. Psycho?

Fear.

2006-06-30T02:29:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I hate feeling nostalgic, because I couldn't help but feel sad, and wish that everything would happen again, just so that I'd experience those memories again... damn I hate it... makes me wanna... wanna... wanna...

... drink coffee.

Maaaaaan life can be such an ASS. I dunno... I just finished downloading a COMPLETELY useless file that I need for a major subject, and now I'm downloading another one, which, hopefully, works. It SHOULD work, it's an .mpg file, damnit!

Anyways, I failed downloading that stuff, stilll downloading from another host of that stuff, and I just finished two cups of mocha java.

Maaaan I feel tired. Tired, but awake. Get it? Never mind.

This afternoon, while going in the train station vicinity after having purchased a ticket, I went through another line. I still don't know why, but I was hoping the lady that I passed by would calle me back, calling me like "Hey you, bitch, come back here!"

And then I wouldn't reply, not until she shouts "Hey! You! The one in the pink shirt and jeans! Come back here!"

And then I'd go:

"You shouldn't go calling someone 'BITCH', asshole. Yes, you heard right, ASSHOLE! Oh wait, because you're being such a nasty bitch, I don't think you even know what's an asshole, because bitches are people who looooove shitting on other people's faces because, yes, they don't have any face, so who would recognize them, hm? Bitches are those shitty piles of fucking shit who don't even know what's the difference between an ass and a hole! You know, it's a pity, because you don't even know where your shit is coming from. Oh well, doesn't make any difference, does it, since your nasty mouth is like a shitting asshole, BITCH!"

*breathe*

Okay, now that that's out, time for a new cup of coffee.

*leaves*

Kyaaaaaah!!! I saw the FF7 compilation on the net, the promotional or summat thing, and I saw this ultra 'kyaaaaa!!!' character! A few hours ago, while searching for Aeris pics, I saw him! And I found out his name! His name?

VINCENT VALENTINE!!!!!!

Such a cool name for such a cool character! Well, personally I don't know him, I heven't played FF7 yet, but based on character descriptions, I have an idea who he is, what he's like and how he would probably react. He's not my usual 'man', but, heck, what do I care?!

2006-06-25T14:41:00.000+08:00

I got this pic from a friend, and the moment I saw it I understood why a lot of Japanese middle-aged men are obssessed with junior high girls. During the past few years I felt indifferent about Jap jr. high girls, they seem so ordinary, and some were... let's just say they were like the typical high school people.

Anyways, if a jr. high girl like this was posted in the net, with that middle finger thing and cute face, yes, those DOMen would probably go gaga over that kid.

Still, I think those DOM are crazy, and disgusting. Don't give me that 'age doesn't matter' crap, they only want those kids' bodies. Ew.

What's worse, is that some of those kids actually agree for some cold hard cash.

No wonder a lot of young Japanese had committed suicide during the past decades, and the population of children are quite few.

Of course, Japan isn't the only country with this problem. Unfortunately for them, in the world of DOM, Japan's their main example, their 'idol'.

A few hours ago (about lunch time), my brother told me that I ordered him to turn off the airconditioner just as he was about to leave the bedroom.

Sounds pretty normal, ne?

But really, it's not. Why?

Because no matter how hard I try, I really can't remember doing that.

I asked my brother and sister what time I did that, because if it's about 9am, it's kinda normal, because I usually wake up for a few seconds at that time.

But they said it was about 6am.

Shit.

Have I just talked in my sleep? Was it just an automatic response of some sort? Nah, because I'm dead asleep at that time. I know, because I had just slept for about 3 hours at that time.

That scared me a bit. Imagine what else I could say in my sleep...

<*shiver*>

2006-06-24T23:14:00.000+08:00

Since I've ranted off about The Da Vinci Code, I'm writing about what I (finally) believe in about religion and Christianity.

I am a Roman Catholic person born under Roman Catholic parents, and my mum's what you might call a fairly religious person. Unfortunately, I'm as much as religious as I want to eat vegetables.

Yes, I DO believe in an almighty being, and I call him God. I know God exists, mainly because I'm still safe and alive, and the fact that I'M alive and existing also kinda supports it, no matter how absurd some people might see it. Also, God gave me what I dearly and sincerely begged of him. Many times I begged God to make a certain someone forget about something that was supposed to be in my room, and many times that person didn't remember that missing thing at all. I don't think it's coincidental at all, because whenever we got home that someone always asked about that missing thing.

I really believe in God.

What I'm doubtful about, is the religion itself, the institution. The bible wasn't written by God. It's a collection of many people's stories. You might say 'but they're the words of God, they passed it down to them". Sure, but you cannot trust people to be always truthful, always sane, always logical.
Plus, it was really said (and it was so obvious) that religion, that Christianity, was the weapon Spaniards used to take hold of our country. Does that mean that Christianity is just that - a weapon? Because religion should not be used for such purposes. Religion is to unite people into a certain belief, and spread its virtues. Not to spread their influence just to be powerful in terms of land, money, etc.

Another thing are the traditions, the beliefs, the ways. Every lent season, people would hurt themselves and nail themselves on crosses. It's stupid. They say it's a way for God to forgive their sins. Tell me, if a criminal serves a charity hospital for no exchange at all, and a completely normal person nails himself to a cross, who will God most likely forgive first? Christianity is not an S&M, it's not "pain is love". I refuse to believe that you have to inflict pain - physical or not - on yourself, directly or otherwise, just so God would forgive you. God WILL test you, but surely He'd not ask you to hurt yourself just so He'd forgive you. What do you think He is, a tyrant?

I also don't like people being obssessed fanatics, because it's stupid, especially when they say they saw Jesus' image or name on an eggplant they were about to cook, banana tree they were about to cut, feces they were to step upon.

I also don't like the way the church is meddling with things that really shouldn't concern them. Raise population, control population, don't use contraceptives. Honestly.

I don't like litany. It's too formal, too ceremony-like, too repeatetive, too stupid. If I am going to convey something to God, I'd rather have it in a conversation way. It's easier to say what you really want, right, instead of saying things that you don't even pay attention to. Maybe it's because I'd rather have prose than poetry. A lot of poets confuse people, and a lot also seem to take pride in works that only they understand. I don't like them, and their poems, and litany. I like conversation. I like clear things. And I want things to be clear. It's more sincere to talk in your own pace, in your own tongue, than to say something fabricated by others, right? Call it formality, but who said I liked formality? Call it formality, but who, with sense, would choose formality than sincerity?

And since centuries ago, there's corruption in the church. If something holy was tainted, what becomes of it? People should've protected it, if they were really devout believers. But why are these happening?

If there are things I believe in, I believe in God Almighty. I want to believe in Heaven, and that I still have a place to reside in there. I believe He loves people, and I trust Him. I want to believe in angels, not just because of fascination, but because surely God couldn't handle all billions of people around the world in one go. And even if He could, it's easier if there's someone assigned to look after you just in case, right?

Anyways, that's all I believe in. I might have missed some thing or two, anyways there's always the edit button.

I wasn't planning on ranting about 'The Da Vinci Code' and how a lot of people see it, but yesterday a friend said it was ONLY rated PG-13. Omg JUST PG-13, but here in the Philippines it was rated R-18 and the biggest and (probably) most popular mall here decided not to show it in their cinemas! WTF!

The Da Vinci Code, a book written by Dan Brown, is a FICTIONAL novel. Fiction. It's just a figment of one's imagination, a creative unification of circumstances (whether accurate or not) around a center subject. Why are people so affected by a FICTION novel?!

And they say the more you deny something, the more it's true.

Since The Da Vinci Code was published a lot of books contradicting it came out, saying Dan Brown was very inaccurate and such circumstances never happened and yadda-yadda-yadda. C'mon! It's FICTION! Not non-fiction! Non-fiction works require 100% accuracy, while in fiction, how you creatively make or unite circumstances to make something else is what matters! It doesn't matter that it's 100% accurate, as long as people understand and appreciate it!

And about the shit happened here, I really, really don't get it! It's PG-13, EVEN in Italy (ITALY, c'monst!) and here it's R-18! ZOMG! I mean, c'mon, more than half of the population of this country's POOR, and couldn't afford to buy the book. Barely half of the whole population could read, and surely not more than 5 million Filipinos have read the book! While a lot of the poor ones might watch a pirated version of the movie, surely not more than half of them could really, really understand it, because aside from the fact that it's in English, it's a 'serious' movie, and when I mean serious, I mean 90% talk, 10% action!

What's the fucking threat?

I'm not saying a lot of Filipinos are stupid. What I'm stressing out is that SOME people are overestimating, overexaggerating possible results of just watching the all-talk movie!

And another point I'd like to make is this: If people really believe in God, and they believe the bible wholeheartedly, and they trust what the priests and etc tell them, THEN they wouldn't believe in the movie nor the book! If they had FAITH, a strong one to boot, they wouldn't take the book nor the movie seriously. They'll just watch or it read it because of curiosity, then that's it! Right?

It's really annoying when people stupidly become so narrow-minded.

And, no, I'm not defending the movie by itself, because, like I said, it's more talk, less action type of movie, and in a famous move site I read a lot of continuity problems. Yikes.

Now, if you're going to ask me about my beliefs then... well, read the post above this.

2006-06-24T20:31:00.000+08:00

We had our Communication100 class a few hours ago, and though I got bored in some parts, in the other parts I liked it because the professor made efforts to "wake" us up, plus he could be funny sometimes, and he's the 'interactive' prof type, so you couldn't help but give him at least 80% of your attention.

Now, going back to my original point, we had Comm100 class, and near the end of it our professor showed some pics which were called 'stimulus'. The second pic he showed was the pic of a vase on a flat (duh) body of water. Printed on the jug (or vase) was a white image of a naked pair of man and woman being 'intimate'. Our prof asked us what we saw on the jug, and a lot told what they saw, which I saw too. Now there was this girl in the back row that said "Oh I know that!" And she started with dolphins being in the picture. Our prof said children always saw the pic as dolphins, and not the picture of a naked man and woman. We had difficulty in seeing the dolphins, while this girl kept on stressing out that she COULDN'T see the man and woman! Ha! As if!

I could've ignored her MAPAGPANGGAP (pretentious) acts but as we were about to leave our room after we were dismissed, she raised her hand and asked our prof if what she read/heard was true, about communication being sex, like forum is orgy, etc. DUH! It was obviously just a comparison of ways of communication and sex, like an analogy of some sort! She was saying she was 'culture shocked' and stuff, but she then she didn't see that communication and sex were just being compared to each other, like metaphors! Ugh, how pretentious! I swear I wanted to go right up to her and shout "YOU'RE THE BIGGEST AND WORST PRETENTIOUS BITCH I EVER MET! FUCK OFF!"

Mean, yes, but I really, really, really hate pretentious people, and hypocrites, they pretend to be something they're not, and they pretend innocence of something but they're not so innocent about it at all! Ugh! I wish the next time she walks through the lagoon, she sees two men having sex! As in two, ugly, burly men working it out - withouht even making the effort of hiding it! Grrrrr I'm sooooooo angry!!! As soon as I stepped out of the classroom with my friends, I muttered to one of them "MAPAGPANGGAP!!!" (Pretentious!!!)

I swear I want to make life hell for her, even for one day. Even one hour. <*thinks like the evil character in Saw*>

2006-06-18T19:44:00.000+08:00

I DON'T LIKE CELLPHONES

Well, yeah, it's important, but it always caused me to worry. You see, I just lost TWO cellphones.

The first one was a Philips model, I think Philips @zalis or something. It was night already, and I was waiting for a public transpo outside a mall. I had a backpack on, and, so stupid of me, I put my cellphone on the outmost pocket. This lady said my bag was open, and when I looked at my bag's pocket -- What the hell, my cellphone is gone!!! I came home crying because the cellphone was my mum's and it hadn't lasted that long with me. Ugh, so careless...

The second one was a Nokia model, another one that was originally mum's. I was in a public transpo, and my cellphone's in my cargo pants' pocket, which was, uh, shallow. Yeah, yeah, another act of stupidity. Anyways, when I got home, and searched for my cellphone, POOF! It's GONE!!!! Gone for all eternity! I tried hard contacting it, even though I knew it was impossible to recover it, and had no luck... Damn, that phone had sooooo many messages I like and numbers of important people were there...

After losing another cellphone, I never got to have another one for... months, which really was a blessing because no one bothered me and I got to bother people into contacting me, heheheh... Plus, annoying people couldn't contact me, hahahah!!!

When I graduated last year from high school, when I still had that poor, poor cellphone, I requested for one that was actually my type, one that I could really consider MINE as in no one owned it before ME. Unfortunately, I lost my current cellphone during second sem of first year in college, and I still haven't got any new cellphone. I mean, I understood why they still couldn't buy me one but... it's been quite a long time... it's actually been... years.. Oh well.

Anyways, last summer (a few months ago), an aunt visited from Ireland. She gave me a new cellphone as a long-delayed gift! Yaay! Well, actually I already had a new phone that's post-paid, but I like the one she had! Of course, who wouldn't? Well, you could. I mean, that aunt's my favourite aunt, and that was a gift, and the phone could record videos despite the very limited memory! Yaaay! She warned me, though. "If you lose that cellphone, you're not getting another one anymore, get it?" YES! I get it! I get it!

But maybe because of the fact I just lost two cellphones, and the fact no one's willing to buy me another one anymore, that I became a bit... paranoid, about losing it. Well, who wouldn't right? Now, once in a while, I'd get really cold and panicky and search my things for my cellphone, just in case I forgot it somewhere or lost it. Maaaaaaan I hate it whenever I felt like that, my heart would always race like bloody hell and I'd feel like I was in a veeeeeeery long roller coaster ride that had no level tracks at all!

Anyways, I hope I don't lose my current phone, 'cause that would reaaaaaally blow the hell out on me.

*sigh*...

2006-06-14T17:13:00.000+08:00

Phew... classes started yesterday, and as of now... things are okay.

On my way home, as I was going through a mall (and I do MEAN through it), this old guy asked me if I knew this local bank's atm machine. I said 'no', and I walked a bit faster, since he's a complete stranger to me and even though I was obviously quite separated from outside because of my headphones, he insisted on talking to me. He said "You're from UP, right?" and I was like "Uh, yeah." and he said "I knew it, I often saw you there." When I heard that I reaaaaaally started to doubt him. I asked where he was in there and he said he lived in Balara, a place near the campus itself. I fastened my pace and he started blabbing that his mother used to work there and blah blah blah. Then he asked if I was in a hurry. I said "Yes, I am." And then, you know what he said? You know what that stupid person said? "Would you like to talk for a while?" What the hell's he thinking, that overly suspicious person?!!! I said "Sorry, I'm in a hurry." and I waved him off and walked as fast as I could withouht being obvious.

God that was annoying. And nerve wracking. I wish I'd never see that man nor a strand of his hair EVER. That creep.

Anyways, on the brighter side, I SAW HIM AGAIN!!! The guy I could say I want to marry and have my kids!!! When I saw him my mind was like (quoting Sanji of One Piece) "Melllorine, mellorine, mellorine, *******-SWAAAAN!!!" Kyaaaaa.... I wanted to faint that time...

*sigh*...

XD

2006-06-12T17:21:00.000+08:00

pffffttt... First sem of the year starts tomorrow... Damn it... Haven't even rested... Oh well, at least I got lucky and got all the subjects I need... On time...

Good luck to me... and to others...

*sigh*.........

2006-06-10T21:51:00.000+08:00

Kyaaaaahhh!!! I've been searching for Paradise Kiss manga and anime like hell, and now I've got a site where I can download it and another where I can watch the whole 12 episodes of ParaKiss!!! Yatta!!!!!!!

Ai Yazawa's one of the greatest mangaka there is! And that includes Eichiro Oda! Kyaaaa!!!

2006-06-10T19:16:00.000+08:00

While waiting for our cart full of groceries to be given back to us from the cart park, my brother pointed a former classmate of his who transferred schools. When I saw him I got giddy all over, because he looked similar to Klaus of A Series of Unfortunate Events (movie version), but his face's kinda different, but he's still cute! Plus he's pretty tall, and he's really really really cute/goo-looking! I wanna hug him! I wanna harrass him! I wanna take him home! In my mind I was like "Wanna go 'Yoru Made Matenai' with me?! Let me be your Haruka! Be my Tsukasa!!!" But of course I couldn't say that out loud, it would be quite embarrassing and he's with his mother and he's six years younger than me.

Come to think of it, Tsukasa's SIX YEARS younger than Haruka! Kyaaaaaah!!!!!

2006-06-03T18:34:00.000+08:00

Damn it, I want my copies of Witch Hunter Robin NOW!!! I almost had them, but unfortunately the person who had it and I didn't get to meet up until summer vacation started, so I haven't got it until now! It's been, what, almost three months?!

I first got to watch Witch Hunter Robin at a local tv station (hooray for GMA 7!), but unfortunately I didn't get to complete it because school ended at about 4 or 5pm, plus the trip on the way home was 45 minutes at least, and the show was about 5 pm! Unfortunately for me, too, the station didn't air the show again, unlike most of the anime shows that they have aired (damn that Dragon Ball series). When I finally got my hands on the whole WHR series, damn they slipped away! Now I have to be suuuuuuuper patient with youtube just to watch the episodes!

To Ditz88, a member of youtube:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THE ORIGINAL JAP EPS OF WITCH HUNTER ROBIN IN YOUTUBE!

If only I had a scanner and had photoshop or open canvas, I would've definitely submitted more art... *sigh*...

2006-05-31T12:34:00.000+08:00

Yaay! Last night, I saw my bro and sis playing with clay. I remembered I was used to be called the 'genius of clay' when I was in pre-school, and a batchmate of mine always reminded me of that (though it's kinda annoying sometimes). So I got their two remaining colors, pink and green, and went back down infront of the pc and started moulding.

At first I only wanted to make a slice of watermelon, since it's still summer and it's still hot, but then I thought of fairies and pixies, so I thought of making a watermelon pixie.

Ta-daa! Watermelon-chan!!!

Heheh, Some genius I was... I tried to make her hold the watermelon, but her arm fell off. *faints* So I just put it under her feet. I used an ordinary (unused) toothpick to make her stand up, with the remaining pink clay as the base. I wonder how to make her permanent and hard?... Hmmm... (>_<)? Since I'm inspired to make clay things again, I guess I'm buying myself some cheap modeling clay to vent out my clay plans... Hopefully I'd be able to make anime clay figures.

It probably took me about 30 to 45 minutes to finish her, I dunno... I ate dinner in between so that's my estimate.

Watermelon-chan's my own idea, so (c) me/pyxislynx. Visit my account in deviant art! I just posted it there!

2006-05-30T15:15:00.000+08:00

We went in a photo shop, and I checked out some digital cameras since I really, really, really want to have one, but, heck, the one I like was more or less three months worth of my allowance! TT.TT I guess I have to wait for 6 months before I could have it if I don't want to die of hunger and exhaustion... Hmm... what if I ask mum to share the price with me??? Hmm...

(> _ <)? hmmmm...

2006-05-29T13:34:00.000+08:00

Yaaaaaay!!!!!!! It's FINALLY raining! Yes! After days and weeks and months of scorching summer heat, it's finally raining! As in hours of raining! Eversince I woke up (about 10am) it's been raining! Wow! I wanna play in the rain! Wait... Maybe I will!

Bye~~~

Gonna play in the rain!

(^ _ ^)v yosh!

I just came from a relative's house, and there were people there that were supposedly my relatives, too, though I really don't know a damn about them. It was a bit awkward, not knowing wether I should acknowledge them or not. In the end I just smiled at the one who greeted me and went inside the house.

While I was inking two of my sketches, I could hear their drunken conversations from outside, and there were times that they were really funny, especially my uncle. Heheh, now I know what to do when there's a drinking session...

2006-05-27T22:42:00.000+08:00

Okay, in the mean time I'm going to stop posting in multicolor and multi-font letters, because my blog looks like chaos-land. I'm trying my best to improve my blog, although I really don't know anything about html and stuff. Heck I've got two free web accounts and still I haven't started anything on them! I can't understand them! Agh, I'm so pathetic! My pride's kinda at fault too, since I refuse to accept ready-made (duh) templates. Oh well...

2006-05-22T20:36:00.000+08:00

Months ago I discovered Nanaca Crash in albinoblacksheep.com, made by heigoland, and I really liked that flash game. It's been a while, and I tried playing it again now. Luckily I found out how to play it with the specials!

Alas, I could only reach 3221.08 meters only... Oh well, plenty of time to improve! Plus I got to 'unlock' all the scharacters with specials! Hahah! Lucky me! XD

ZUBAAAAAN!!!

P.S. I don't feel sorry for the guy, heheheh...

When people asked me what my favorite color was, I always answered 'blue', even though I really don't favor it very much among others. I felt that I like green better, but blue sounded better (got it? I guess not...).

As I entered my second year in high school, I realized that I had more greens that blues. But after a few months (December), my blue shirts surpassed the green ones.

A few months after starting my first year in college, I had a crisis in t-shirts. I was forced to borrow one from my sister, who is 8 years younger than me, mind you. Eversince then, I've been the one wearing that shirt, and not her. In fact, I'm wearing it now. Its kinda light or pastel blue and green or summat...

*I'm gonna change the font color into this, since it's hard to read the last color I used...*

Last January (or February... I think... a few days after my birthday...) I bought 3 shirts, and one of them is in this color. Then, about two weeks ago, a cousin of mine took me to a clothes shop and treated me to 2 shirts. One of them - and the only one that fitted - was in this color. That's the one that I had spilt coffee on this noon. Fortunately the stain washed off immediately, as I took it off as soon as I realized it had coffee and drowned it in water and fabric conditioner (we've ran out of laundry soap).

I've also noticed I've got quite a number of pink shirts. I don't like pink things, but ironically, I wear a pink top at least once it a week, except if I don't go out of the house.

Well, one thing's for sure. You won't find any violet or purple, yellow, orange, or brown shirt in my closet. I won't say the same for the other articles of clothing, though.

I woke up (as in fully woke up) at about 12 noon. Then I remembered that I had to pay our internet bill (hooray for Smart wifi!), buy bird food for our mynas, and buy some vegetables since were low on them 9which I really don't mind, because I'm not exactly a fan of vegetables).

Anyways, I really wanted to eat, because I'm soooo hungry, but when I found out that our lunch was not up to my taste, I passed lunch and thought inwardly that I'd just eat at the mall. So, while doing something with the computer, I just drank two cups worth of mocha caramel instant coffee (and accidentally spilled some on my newest shirt, damn it).

After I paid for the internet and bought the vegetables, I went to the mini food court, since it was the closest one to the supermarket. I saw the Babba Shawarma stand and ordered a large shawarma (or Turkish roasted beef, wrapped in , uh, pita?) without, of course, the vegetables and onion.

Maaaaan that was truly satisfying...

Lunch down, dinner to go!

(by the way, that shawarma, which was supposed to be my lunch - and breakfast - was eaten at about 5 pm.)

Okaaaaay... This is kinda weird, I really don't know why... I tried my nickname, which I won't tell because it embarrasses me because it really doesn't represent me, and it turns out with the name 'Miharu' again. Either the generator has run out of first names or I'm really bound to be Miharu. Oh well... At least Kurokawa (sheesh, so literal...) sounds cool to me.

My japanese name is 原 Hara (wilderness) 千秋 Chiaki (very fine in autumn).

I tried another one, this time my preferred nickname, which is Ren, and it turned out to be like this. Whenever I think of Hara I can't stop imagining myself as a cavewoman, which I don't like, mind you. At least Chiaki balanced it off. Masculine surname, feminine first name.

My japanese name is 井上 Inoue (upon a well) 威吹 Ibuki (mighty blow).

I've got a favorite name for a male that I thought I made up by myself, but it turned out that the name really exists, and this is its translation, according to the site. Kinda different from the personality I usually make out of it in my manga and stories...

This morning, I was having a veeeeery nice sleep when I sensed someone coming.

"Phone, it's dad--"

Shit.

"Hello?!"

Really, I bolted up as soon as the phone was mentioned. Maybe because I thought I was sleeping late in to the morning... When, heck, it was only 7:30am!!!

I really think I was really, really weird that time, answering "Yes!" like a soldier to his commander.

Omighad was I possessed?

2006-05-16T21:43:00.000+08:00

I really don't like very cramped or full public places. Hm, maybe all full spaces. Yeah. It's not that I feel dizzy and faint because of phobia, but rather... I just don't like it.

Especially when strangers bump into be or they got to touch me even just my shoulder or summat. I don't like it.

That's why I feel so easy in spacious places where there are a few people.

Except when I know the place could be dangerous for me, of course.

Things I'm Thankful For #02

TRAINS!!!

Yes, I'm very thankful for the invention of trains! I love trains! Trains make traveling easier, plus it's cool inside, which is a BIIIIIG relief for me since it's still summertime now.

Since the start of summer, whenever I go to my boarding house or to the University, I have to ride FOUR different modes of transportation. The third one, which lasts for about 30 minutes, is my favorite - the TRAIN!

After one to one and a half hours of bus ride, I have to walk for about 200 metres or so (hmm... 5 minutes? Depends on my mood and if I'm in a hurry or not) and the up, up I go to the train station. I always buy the Stored Value Card, so that I don't have to fall in line whenever I have to ride a train. Pretty convenient, hm?

After going through the inspection guards and the swiveling thing, I have to walk for a few more meters and then go down the steps towards the train platform. Recently, the train station I always ride in adopted the "first carriage is for women, children and elderly" rule. Since then, I always rode in that part because it's much cooler and has more space where I could sit comfortably without touching other people (which will be discussed after this post).

And then, after the train's chime/bell, it's on the move! Yaay!

I really love traveling by train, because usually the people are quiet and still, and I really feel relaxed inside (not unless it's full or cramped). During my early days as a regular train traveler, I always stood facing the clear windows, even when there were still free spaces to sit on, because I liked experiencing what people in trains in anime and manga do. After a while I sat down whenever there are free spaces, basically because I'm too tired to stand up plus I always bring something heavy whenever I rode the train, because I commute from the University to my home every weekend with my laundry.

Of course, I don't always feel good inside trains. There were times that I cursed people from existing because they push and really get rude when it's rush hour (sometimes even when it's not, just to have seats). There were also times that I curse them for stealing a seat that was emptied FOR me. I also cursed them at times for making me their pillar of support whenever they lose their balance. How could a 115-pound medium-frame body support a 150-pound large-frame? Tell me!

But still I loved taking the train, and I always forgave those people because for sure karma will get them, and usually I had my revenge before that person or I boards off.

Ah, how I love traveling by trains...

(I got the picture from the internet via google. I don't own that photo.)

Haha! My favorite cursed slippers are back to life! It's been, like, more then half of a year since I last used this pair! Haha! Sooo happy...

Though... It's kinda dirty right now, you could see my toe prints... gah!...

This was how it was repaired by that stuuuuupid repair shop for shoes, etc. They used a freakin' white thread in sewing the straps back!

Oh well, at least I could use it again. But the fact that it's white, instead of black or brown or summat, makes my blood boil again...

2006-05-06T15:25:00.000+08:00

Kyaaaa!!!

I looooooooooove Bamboo! Why? Well, they've got this song, "Dinner at 6," which is soooo cool, and that song INSPIRED ME! Because of that song, I was able to make another 'uberly dramatic scene that can cause a heart attack for me!!!'

"Dinner at 6
I can no longer wait
For your call
I've been waiting for days"

After hearing those lines for the first time, my brain cells reeled and then stood up! It was like my brain was electrocuted! These images suddenly started storming into my mind and before I knew it, BAM! I've got another problem for my protagonists!

Basically my story starts with a VERY rich girl (I'll name her REN for the time being) who was sent by her eccentric (read: WEIRD) parents to another country so she could learn how to live all by herself. In the co-ed boarding school, she was assigned under the year level representative where she is (I'll name him LANCE for a while).

Anyways, laid-back, lazy yet overly popular and good-looking and genius Lance hated being Ren's 'maid/bodyguard', but because the Principal, who's his 25ish weird uncle, forced him to accept the responsibility, he did.

As time passed by, of course Lance started liking Ren, and Ren started to accept her feelings for Lance after Marie, a former 'rival', clarified to her that what she said about loving will hurt the other.

Night before Christmas. Ren's spending it alone. No matter, no matter! She's going to have the gifts from her family and friends, and cakes, and chocolates and... no one else.

Ren was contemplating on how lonely it would be when Lance told her he'd be picking her up after his work. But if ever he didn't come on time, Ren should go ahead to the great fountain, a famous meeting place. Of course, Ren was happy.

That night, Ren dressed properly (for the first time, all by herself) and waited in her room for Lance. After an hour passed, Ren decided to go ahead to the great fountain, where she waited.

And waited...
And waited...

And the clock struck 12.

The couples present exchanged kisses and gifts, which made Ren smile, remembering her family and friends when they spent Christmases together. But now, after 16 years of happy Christmases...

She's alone.

She shook her head roughly and cheered herself up, making the excuse that Lance must've been working really hard.

Until she saw him.

With another girl.

Kissing.

Well, actually the girl, the shop owner's daughter, forced Lance to go out with her (with the lame fake excuse that she's all alone) and when the clock struck 12, she jumped to kiss him-- but Lance caught her face in time to stop her.

Unfortunately, Ren thought it happened.

As well as Marianne, Ryan, and Marie.

Well, you could imagine what happened next...

With some twists made by yours truly!

O-hohohohohohoo!!!

"It's hard for me to think
You've forgotten my number
When we had such a nice chat
The other day"

I just wanna add that up, the second verse. Fits, hm?

MY GREATEST REGRET AS A WRITER IN FANFICTION.NET

No, I don't have other regrets.

I hate it!

A lesson learned:

NEVER pass more then 5 chapters at the same time! Be patient! In fact, just pass ONE chapter after every few days, even every week!

What's my problem:

Well, I got so excited passing my first three stories in fanfiction.net that I passed everything at once! I even said I'm going to update in two weeks, which was more than a month ago! Now I'm still 'fanfiction drained' because I'm currently working on my THREE original mangas! AAAAAGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

2006-05-01T16:55:00.000+08:00

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!

After reading chapter 14 of Kokou Debut, I was ELATED. So elated that I felt like I should stop, because it’s always bad to read after a very ‘kyaaa’ chapter because nothing good’s in the next chapter for sure. But, NOOOOO, so stubborn me still READ, and now I feel so BAAAAAAAAAD!!! How bad? My hands and legs went numb and I felt really, really cold, as if I’m really giving out cold sweat!

My cries of agony freaked out my brother and sister. I was literally splashing myself to the wall beside my pc.

That's how agonizing it was.

2006-04-30T20:53:00.000+08:00

Are They Really Bothersome?

I closed my eyes a bit and quietly walked amidst all the chattering and busy people who were there for the sale. I didn't like going to malls when it's sale time, but then I had to this time. The mall was so packed, and I could feel and smell it. I don't like crowded places much; I don't like bumping into people. So I just walked quietly, not paying much attention to anything around me. I just stared into nothingness while enjoying the music from my headphones. It's really a good thing I had a hat on, so it could cover my eyes even a bit; and my discman, so I could shut off as much as possible sounds from outside.

I was near the stairs when a little hand slipped into mine and gripped my fingers tightly. It was cold... and shaking.

I looked below me and saw a little boy - perhaps four years old. He had a red cap on, and he was wearing a red shirt and blue shorts. His shoelaces were undone, and a strap of his bag was loose. He looked like he wanted to cry, but was also trying to stop it. He looked pitiful, yet determined. He stared at me like that, gripping my fingers tightly.

"Lost?" I asked.

He nodded. His lips were trembling, but he only gripped my fingers tighter and didn't utter a sound.

"Where did you lose them?" I said, still looking at him indifferently. I didn't like kids that attach themselves to me. I've had enough of them.

The boy pointed at the floor. So his parents or whoever with him must come back here.

"Come, I'll take you to the guard and he'll take care of you until you see your parents."

The boy quickly let go of my hand and attached himself instead to my leg.

It should've touched a nerve on me, but somehow I couldn't get angry. Just annoyed, because I almost lost my balance.

"I can't stay with you and you can't stay with me, you understand? I wanna get what I need and get out of this place." I said sternly. It WAS supposed to be stern.

But the boy refused to let go. He just looked at me with that pitiful yet determined look. Damn, so troublesome...

"You know, you shouldn't go with strangers." I said, while trying to pry him off of my leg. "Didn't your parents tell you that? It's a basic rule in life. And when you're lost in this kind of places the first ones to look for are guards or policemen."

The boy was shaking badly. Well, because he was trying hard to stop from crying. Geez, what a determined kid...

I bent over to him and fixed his bag on his shoulder. "You won't see them if you don't go to the guard to help you."

Bad move.

Now the kid attached himself to me, almost choking me. My headphones slid down my ears and I almost fell out of balance as the kid jumped on to me.

"H-hey-- Jeez let me go, you're choking me!"

I grabbed the little boy's arms and tugged, but he just simply won't let go.

"I'm... scared..."

The hell...

"Fine."

No choice, then.

"If you let go, I won't go."

It took some time before the kid finally decided to loosen his death grip on me. I went to the steps and sat down near the rails. The boy sat beside me, now a death grip on my waist.

It's amazing he still didn't cry.

"Hey, what's your name?" I asked.

The grip tightened some more, then relaxed a bit.

"Paul..."

I snorted a bit. He really didn't listen to his parents - if they ever lectured him.

"You know, you shouldn't just tell your name to a total stranger." I said. "You really don't know how to act when you're alone."

The boy was still trembling. I put my hand on his shoulder, to somehow calm him down. Unfortunately he started taking sharp breaths.

"You know, it's good to cry once in a while. Whenever I got lost I never cried, but that doesn't mean I'm brave."

I looked below at the kid. His breathing was really uneven and fast.

"There are so many people here - no one will hear you... Well, if you don't shout, that is."

He cracked. At last.

Well, he fell asleep after a while.

Kids... They're all the same. But somehow, this one was different. He didn't cry when he realized he was lost - instead he searched for someone to trust. Bad choice, yes, but somehow I was glad it was me. He didn't speak much, but the way he looked at me and attached himself to me really proved how much he trusted me, and it was very moving.

His parents arrived after a while, thanking me profusely for taking care of their child. Apparently they had a lot of their nephews and nieces with them so when the kid got lost they didn't realize it right away.

When I finally got to pry off the boy's death grip on me and stood up to give him to his parents, I couldn't help but feel a bit sad for that would be the last time I'd see the kid who tried so hard not to cry and to convince me to stay with him until his parents came for him.

My fingers were barely on his arm when his hand gripped them just like when he first saw me. Everyone was a bit surprised, even me. I smiled at the kid and patted him on his head. Somehow, it's comforting to see that he's also sad at our separation.

Heck, what's happening to the world...

"Hey, Paul. Remember all that I said. Don't forget them, hm? Not everyone's like me. Okay?"

The kid nodded and smiled. Heh, another kid who bugged me.

I bade good bye to all of them and started up the steps.

Heck, he's not a bug, was he?

I silently laughed at myself as I returned my headphones to my ears.

Not bad, afterall, coming in a packed mall.

Uh, no, this didn't happen in real life. What REALLY happened was I was trying to shut myself off from the crowd and noise when my little cousin held on to me even though he's already holding on to his mum - I'm not that close to him yet he did that. It's kinda moving.

FRUITS BASKET GALORE

Ahehehehe... a few moments ago I thought, what if the anime furuba characters became high school faculty and staff? And then... ta-daa! The grand Furuba High!

Akito...............................principal
Tohru.................economics teacher
Kyo...............................PE teacher
Yuki......................school gardener?
Shigure.................literature teacher
Hatori........................school doctor
Momiji................guidance counselor
Ayame.............sex education teacher

Akito: Yes! Follow me! I'm the head of this school!
Minna (everyone): [in their minds] He's still creepy...
Kyo: Aaaagh! Yess! I'm the PE teacher! I can teach everyone to fight, fight and fight!
Yuki: You think of nothing but fight, do you?
Kyo: Heh, and you're just a gardener.
Yuki: At least not a baka neko teacher who'll murder his class.
Kyo: What did you say?!
Tohru: aaaa... Kyo-kun, Sohma-kun, please don't fight... Our positions are determined by our skills, so let's do our best and teach them what we know!
Ayame: Aah, Tohru-kun! You are right! Yuki, why don't you follow your onii-chan and be more enthusiastic about it!
Yuki: DIE.
Shigure: Aaah... Ayame's so lucky, he's got the best one... Oh well, Tohru-kun, since you're the economics teacher, would you mind if I come to you often and share meals with yoooooou???
Tohru: Aaaaa... H-hai, Shigure-san!
Hatori: Stop that, Shigure. You're taking advantage of Tohru-kun again.
Shigure: Aah Ha-san, you're the school doctor! So lucky, so lucky! High school girls coming to you! Lucky! Lucky!
Hatori: Only you would think of that.
Tohru: ?

Akito: Fufufu...
Minna: IIII

Extra notes:

Akito - no comment...
Tohru - she's got the skills of a housewife, albeit clumsy at times...
Kyo - duh... he's even the adviser of the martial arts clubs! Well, that's because Yuki declined most of them.
Yuki - don't flame me! I mean, the number one thing emphasized about his talents is gardening, ne?
Shigure - What? You expected him to be the sex education teacher?
Hatori - DUH.
Momiji - rethink of the furuba episodes where he's there and you'll see
Ayame - NO COMMENT. ^ ^;

"I AM SOOO... FREAKIN'... PISSED."

quoted from White Chicks, a fave of mine

Really, I feel pissed, really really really pissed off, this day.

Oh well, good thing I'm 90% optimistic all the time.

2006-04-26T19:38:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday (April 23) I picked myself another card. Unfortunately, it's The Tower. Sure, I didn't think of that card as totally unlucky, but... I thought wrong.

We were having our grocery in the supermarket when I thought of getting chicken. I told my brother to pick it up and put it in our cart, but then I saw another one that looked better (more skin! yay!), so I called him back. He was only a few feet away when he couldn't get through because I was suddenly surrounded by more or less five people. Honestly I was a bit pissed off, because I RARELY get physically close to anyone ANYWHERE, especially in a public place, and they were kinda squishing me. I pulled my bag closer to me and luckily I found my cellphone intact.

I was supposed to pay for the grocery with my credit card when I realized that my wallet was gone. I tried to think positively about it, but to no luck. No, I'm one hundred percent sure IT WAS STOLEN. When? Back when I was surrounded suddenly by those fucking bitches and bastards. Yes, I'm ANGRY, but then I became not angry, because it's kind of my fault. But still it pissed me off BIG TIME.

So that's what the card meant. I lost the reason I could go anywhere without worrying because my ID, money and cards are there. Now, I'm penniless, my credit cards would take a few days to be replaced, I searched for a lawyer with my dad to ask for an affidavit of loss just so I could have my atm card replaced, and I have to pay to have another university ID.

Life sometimes sucks. BIG TIME.

FIT FOR A BEAUTY QUEEN

You are given three things: a fresh egg, a blindfold, an ID tag. The egg is to be held by you, the blindfold, on your eyes, and the ID laced around your neck. The egg symbolizes life, the blindfold symbolizes your trust, and the ID symbolizes your identity.

You are to sacrifice two of them.

Which will you keep?

The college org catering to anime and manga was having their induction day (with our batch as inductees) when I thought of this. I was lying on the ground (apparently it was cement edfloor, since it was kinda cold and rough) when I realized they might let us choose. Grasping my egg close to me, my ID squished to my chest with both my hands and blindfold 's knot held down heavily by my head, I thought of what to sacrifice.

It didn't take too long before I knew what I would keep. Actually, when I started thinking about it, I came up with the answer right away.

A person's identity, of course, could be lost. And with a lost identity, a person would feel... not like a person at all, which either would be sad or suck. It may take time to recover it, but at least it's still replaceable or recoverable.

Life? Nah, there's no coming back once you're dead. Either you go down there or up there. People die at some point in their lives, destined or not. Well, if you believe in God then it's destined. No Naruto crap saying Neji's belief about destiny/fate and people is wrong.

Trust... is hard to gain. Not unless you're really a kind or kind-looking person. And once you broke someone's trust, most of the time it's really, really hard to gain back. Especially in heavy cases. Treachery hits hard, remember that. That's why death's the punishment for treason centuries ago.

I'm assuming you know what I'd keep now, eh?

Fine, I'll say it anyway.

Yeah, I'd keep my blindfold. Especially with the situation. Although it's unlikely for me to die there (the members were careful with us), I'd rather lose my life than to lose my trust on them (the members). They said they'd take care of us, and would not touch us in a harmful way (as in punch or push and the like), and I trusted that. Sure, I'm such a fool sometimes that I easily trust a lot of people, but this was different. I dunno why, but I really trust that they'd take care of us even though it's induction day. I trust them, and that's that.

No, I have a room for suspicions in my heart.

KFC logo owned by... KFC and good o'l coronel. (duh...) Got this from google.

THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR #01 (No, this is NOT a memoir of some sort. I just thought of writing down things that I, well, am thankful for.)

First of all I'm thankful for................

THE FOUNDING OF THE FASTFOOD KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN AKA KFC!!!

Yes, I'm very thankful for that!

Why?

Weellllllllllllll.......

I usually eat there, and I rarely get tired of eating there, although most of their meals are chicken-based (of course, the restaurant's name says it all). I love their fries (won't call them french fries, I'll never call any fries 'french fries', na-uh... and I've got NOTHING against french, mind you).

I usually order chicken strips (meal #7) before they turned it into chicken tempura, which I haven't tried yet (and never will, I dunno...). Too bad, I loved that meal... So now I always eat #5, which is Fun/Hot shots (chicken pops), fries and Pepsi. I usually upsize at least the fries, because, like I said before, I love their fries. I also usually add an extra rice so my 'shots' would become my breakfast, lunch, or dinner, depending on the time I ate them (and the meal/s I skipped due to circumstances usually rooting from my laziness).

I love their fries. Before I said I hated them, because they tasted so like... well, potatoes. Then after trying them again, I realized what a fool I was for giving away my fries because they're PERFECT! They're kinda crunchy on the outside (but not too much), and then they're ok inside! They're not too salty, they're not oozing with oil, and they're not as thin as toothpicks! Well, fine, as thin as... pens. Pen. Or pencil.

Anyways, like their chicken, their fries are BEST with their gravy.

I love KFC's gravy (and thank God they're bottomless, meaning they're refillable. Their gravy's not salty (unlike another famous food chain here, *ahemmmmmm*), not too watery, and not too solid, although I hate it when it gets cold because the topmost part kinda forms a layer of, uh, 'semi-solidized' gravy. Whenever I order take-outs (or to-go meals) I always order the large one. That's how I love their gravy. Though I don't drown my rice with it...

One wish I really would like KFC to grant is... THE RETURN OF CHICKEN STRIPS!!!

2006-04-22T22:03:00.000+08:00

Just this morning I went swimming with some of my high school classmates. There were about 15 of us there, and it was fun (and I loved the mangoes! Yum!)

Before I left my house, I picked up my Card for the Day, just so I'd have an idea what to expect. Heck I picked up the Lovers, just like I did during our Geography1 class' trip to Taal Volcano! I didn't expect someone 'special' of some sort would be where I'd go, just like what happened to the trip in Taal (I just didn't trust The Lovers... maybe that's why nothing happens). And guess what?

I was right!

I was treading in the pool when I noticed this couple. I noticed a guy who looked like a Japanese and a girl who was obviously his girlfriend. (I mean, who wouldn't think of that when you see a young couple where the guy's carrying the girl bridal style?)

Anyways, I always saw them almost whenever I look across the pool, and when I went to the shower hut to, well, have a shower and change into dry clothes, the girl was there and the guy came in the hut to give her her things (the hut contains stalls for both men and women, though there are signs where the women and men should be). And then as I went to the guard's gate to ask if I they could call me a transpo, I met them. When I came back later on to leave the resort, I met them again, and they were leaving , too. Then, as I was waiting for my transpo, the couple walked past me!

As I sat inside my transpo, sending a text to a classmate concerning the apparently Korean couple, I realized what my card meant - I'd meet a couple!

Oh well, sucks to be me. XP

I really hate clowns... They scare me, they freak me out, they give me the creeps, the shivers, the NIGHTMARES. Whenever there's a party and there's a clown I'd always feel uncomfortable and try not to look at it. I don't care if their funny, their rumor just won't get in me. I DON'T LIKE CLOWNS. Jesters, I could still tolerate. Clowns-- DIE. Even the 'okay' clown are not spared from my horror. I really don't like them...

TSUBAKI by devilette at deviantart.com

Okay, I was supposed to post thisa few days ago, but I got lazy to write (I dunno why, I really think it's my sickness, you know, laziness) . Anyways, here it goes!

Before I got to read BLEACH by Kubo Tite, I got to watch 3 episodes of it (yes, the first three). Then, just about two weeks ago (or a week ago) I started downloading BLEACH manga, since I just finished with Naruto. From the first chapter I didn't stop until I passed out from sleepiness infront of the computer! Well, I managed to reach about the part where Rukia was taken away back to Soul Society and Ichigo was trained by Urahara.

By then I saw my first favorite character in BLEACH, the fox/snake-eyed, always smiling mischievously Ichimaru Gin! And then, my second favorite! Laid-back and funny Urahara Kisuke!

I'm a pro-ichigoXrukia fan (aka ichiruki). But when I saw Gin's 'relationship' with Rukia, I couldn't help but pair them, too! I would love to see Gin taunting/teasing/pissing/making fun of Rukia!

And then, when I continued reading BLEACH manga, IYAAAAAAAA!!! My wish came true!

Rukia was being taken to the execution ground when Ichimaru Gin arrived and had a little 'chat' with her, which included teasing her!

Gin: (arriving at the bridge where Rukia and her 4 guards were) Good morning. How are you, Rukia-chan?
Rukia: (shocked/scared) ... Ichimaru... Gin...!
Gin: That's forbidden. (raises an index finger) Instead of "Gin," you should refer to me as... Cap-tain... Ichi-maru. If you don't speak with proper manner, you'll get scolded again... by your onii-san (older brother).
Rukia: (sweating nervously) ... Please forgive my rudeness... Captain... Ichimaru...
Gin: (shrugging) Ah. You actually thought that I was serious? Don't worry. I don't tell on people. I don't really care, since... we've known each other for so long.
Rukia: ; ... Why... Captain Ichimaru, why... did you come here?
Gin: Ah... No particular reason, really. I was just taking a walk...
Rukia: ; ...
Gin: And I dropped by to tease you.

Rukia's POV

I really dislike this man.

Not long before I joined Gotei 13... Onii-sama bacame the Captain of the 16th division. This man, who became the captain of the 3rd division at the same time, often chats with onii-sama when they bump into each other.

In a normal person's eyes, it would look like a normal chat between two captains. In truth, the topics of the conversations are like that of a normal conversation.

But I... always had this strong feeling of disgust... Ever since I met this man for the first time!

I still remember every drop of sweat that came out of my skin when I first met him...

His fingers...

His lips...

Even his slightly blinking eyes...

[me: hmm, it's really so intimate, tee-hee-hee... and it gets more intimate!]

Everything about him felt like a deadly serpent hissing at me. Even when he was only talking to onii-sama... It still felt like as if he had his hands around my neck. I never dared to even blink my eyes once.

I've always disliked this man...

His poison seeped through every little crack around him while he proceeded with normal daily events. Withought even noticing it... One will get pulled into the abyss, getting sick from that poison. I've always feared him so...

I can't find a reason for all this feeling... But there's just something in me... That is consistently rejecting everything about this man. This feeling... never changed even after the numerous conversations I've had with him.

Even now...

Gin: What is it? You just kind of froze suddenly...
Rukia: (still quite startled) Nothing...

I still...

Feel the same way...

end of Rukia's pov

Gin: Oh, by the way, I think he's still alive.
Rukia: ;...
Gin: Poor Abarai-kun... Getting vut up like that for trying to rescue Rukia-chan...
Rukia: (shocked) ?! You lie...! Don't say such nonsense! Renji would never attempt something like that...!
Gin: Are you afraid?
Rukia: (startled) Wh... What did you say?
Gin: You don't want to die, do you? Not just Abarai. If anyone... acts upon the thought of not wanting you to die, you will suddenly begin to fear your impending death. Am I right?
Rukia: ... !!! (she's really angry and worried at the same time!)
Gin: (smiles more mischievously) Would you like me to save you?

[me: kyaaaaaaaaaaa!!! *faints*]

Rukia: (shocked) What?
Random guard: Cap... Captain Ichimaru...!? What... What are you saying!!?
Gin: So? If I want to, I can get you out of here easily. Not just you, Abarai-kun and the others, too.

'What is he talking about...!? Is he mad!? What can he gain from saving me!? What can he gain from saving Ichigo and Renji!? No... Maybe this man is really...'

Gin: (holds top of Rukia's head, face really close to hers, smirking) Just kidding.
Rukia: (speechless) ...
Gin: (walks away) Goodbye, Rukia-chan. (turns head a little bit back) Let's meet again, infront of soukyoku. [execution place]

......

'I had given up hope... Given up my will to live... Gotten over all my feelings...

Yet my acceptance... of my impending death... was shaken by him!!

Just because I found a slight hope of survival in his words... He made me... want to live again! so easily...

He shattered my resolution.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!"

[*faints again*]

Well, that's one of my super duper uber favorite chapters in Bleach manga! My wish got true and it was really 'kyaaaaaa!!!'

[*faints again while drooling*]

HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

a high school friend/classmate of mine, Annaliza, and I used doodle for the first time after, like, a LOT of attempts!!! stupid imvironment won't load before...

anyways, we were having fun doodling until about two in the morning (it's 2:10 as of typing this message) and then we decided to invent our own animals. i've got quite a weakness in drawing animals and inventing one doesn't help. so i tried drawing a rabbit head at first but changed my mind-- it looked waaaaaaay too much like a rabbit. so i erased it (with white crayon, of course), and then started making the one above.

well, it's supposed to be a cross of tanuki (racoon) and kitsune (fox). then i thought of adding spots, so it kinda resembles a hamster now. add the ears, then a rabbit, as well. add whiskers... then it's a cuddly animal!!! sadly there's no pink crayon, so my colors look a bit boring. oh well, at least i enjoyed it (and it's not so horrible).

ana made a rudolph-the-red-nosed-dog/zebra/cheetah (i thought it was a giraffe)/pig/dino (at first it was a bit of a dino, until ana added a body)/... rabbit? i forgot to ask... the colors were good, as well as the drawing itself... *sigh* oh well, that's what you get from the official animal drawer of our class! 9hey, i'm only good in people, and i'm not THAT good enough. just your average anime artist. (still don't know how to use photoshop, darn it...)

anyways, enjooooy~~~

(because we did. and if you don't, get your ass kicked outta my blog.)
