The long vacation also allowed me to work on my craft projects :) My sister and I actually have this plan on participating in a school fair where we can sell the things I made. So, I plan to sell bracelets and cards with quilling designs yey!


I have posted some of my quilling projects before. But this time, I made a new project out of it by making greeting cards. I made the envelopes myself and used scrapbooking paper. I used some letter or quote stickers on the cards, too!


I made bracelets for kids and adults :) Last November, I went to divisoria to buy some beads. I'm super happy because i bought a lot of beads at super cheap prices! I went to Wellmanson's at Tabora St. - a true bead haven ^___^


This is my newest craft project - bead rings! I asked my aunt to buy me this book by Klutz. I'm a fan of Klutz. They make complicated things easy hehe. Also, they provide enough supplies to work on every project in the book. I have seen some of their books in local bookstores, but I wasn't able to see the books that I want. So I ask my aunt to but them for me hehe~ The ring display board was my mom's idea!


My ring projects. [L-R]: The twist, daisy, starbusrt, butterfly and chain :) (Hand model: kamay ko!).

Hope we sell a lot :D

Bceause of these entries, halatang-halata ang naging tambayan ko (kusina) at madalas kong ginawa (kumain) ngayong holiday vacation >.<

The following day, after baking, we experimented in the kitchen and made sushi! Hahaha! I really like eating Japanese food...but honestly, hindi ako nakikipag-agawan sa sushi, hilaw man sya o luto. So anyway despite that, we had the rice, nori and filling ready to be rolled, and then~



Dyaran! Itadakimasu~ ahahaha!

Hindi sya super sarap ahahaha! It was pretty bland, and lasang kamay...joke! Pero ok na ren; at least we tried, and it did look like sushi! I guess it's ok for a first try ^___^ That night we had the sushi and tortilla rolled-up sanwiches~


Dugo't pawis na dinner :D

On new year's eve, we had mango crepes as snack (ibang level ng kain mode talaga). I found this crepe recipe on the Internet. Too bad, I wasn't able to take pictures. They were gone too soon hehe~ The first I tried this, it wasn't so good. But this time, I succeeded yey! I put in some sliced mangoes and creme, rolled the crepe, squeezed some choco syrup and sprinkled some toasted walnuts. Voila! Kainan na (again)!

A new year marks a fresh start - and this goes for my blog as well. Work, online games (hehe) and crafts took most of my time for the past year that posting a blog entry was no longer that interesting for me. Why, it even took me a few tries before I finally remembered my lj password >.<

With the long holiday vacation, I finally had the time to note down holiday events worthy of being posted ehehe. I have always been fond of baking, and Christmas is just right time to get those choco chips and flour out of storage :) Last December 20 afternoon, I baked some cookies and muffins for my officemates as Christmas presents. Last November, I even bought special boxes and pouch bags to put the goodies in. Hehe, nakakapagod hau~ Super tiring that I wasn't able to take pictures of my baking accomplishment. But last December 29, I baked again not for giveaways but for us to eat mweheheh! This time I was able to ask my sister to take some Kodak moments~


Step 1: Place cupcake liners on the muffin pan (hehe).



Step 2: Fill each cup with muffin mix (Hand model: akin yan!).



Step 3: Put nuts of your choice on top (we used pecans and walnuts) (Hand model: sa mommy ko yan!).


Step 4: Baking time!


Ta-dah! Finished product. Ang dami! Yum-yum!


Muffins na naka-flower arrangement mode :)

Hehehe lang magawa (I placed it here kahit ayokong magchange ang daemon ko...). Hope my daemon doesn't change into something like...a cockroach... ewww...hahaha!

Wai! Lookit, my new layout...woot!
And I've got a sidebar...mukya!
Check out the Xenosaga official site, kakoi desu!
Gonna go look for icons to match...mwehehe.

pionna, domo arigatou gozaimashita *bow *bow b^.^d

Weeee! Long vacation na, banzai! I'll be reporting back to work on tuesday, wee XD! I've even listed down all the things I need to do hehe...magagaan lang namang activities like watch anime, play PS2....mga ganun lang naman hahaha.

Speaking of anime, we attended the Ozine Fest last Sunday sa Mega. I'm actually psyched to go there because of shopping and the bands. On shopping, well, limited ang booths so wala naman masyadong kaigagayang bilhin, but we saw and bought some cool anime stuff nonetheless ;D. We get to listen to two bands sing anime songs, yehey! Although may mga panirang singers (I'm sure after the event isa na silang mga pipi), all in all, the event was OK and worth it. The only downside na nakita ko was...walang MANGA!!! >.< One thing I've noticed is that marami na talagang anime fans...also kahit hindi pa napapalabas na anime on local TV, nagiging cosplay entries na sila. Sikat na talaga ang Ouran and Death Note, it won't be long at mapapanuod na ren sila sa TV. Oh yeah, may celebrity sight-seeing pa pala sa event, because of BECK's launching sa HERO channel. Pero sa totoo lang di ko talaga ma-appreciate ang kwento nun...haha, though I would like to hear the turn out of the dubbing.

On work...well, work pa ren. I feel settled in the workplace already and with the nature of my new job b^.^d Fighto fighto fa ren!

Hayz, I better start on my listed activities...sayang ang oras, haha.

Quotable Quotes:
~I like eating chawkoleits...with halmonds...and I'm prawd of it!

Participating in cosplay events for years...is an achievement.
Wala na mas u-urgent pa sa...urgent emergency.

Kahit maraming kapangitan nangyayari at the start of my year, marami ring magagandang nangyari. Since last year, I've been planning to get myself a new phone - one that also works as a music player. So since then I've been saving for this. Last Saturday, natupad na ren ang plan kong ito. Like, yehey! I bought a new N73 music edition at Greenhills...the best thing is I got it at a price lesser than what I assumed. Yatta, may pambili pa ng manga hahaha! This has been my largest investment to date after my PSP hehehhe and I'm glad it was all worth it.

Kinakalikot ko na yung phone for the past 2 days...wala akong masabi. Malaki yung memory nya (2 GB) enough for a lot of anime songs nyehehe. It recognizes songs in WMA format so mas madaming masto-store na songs compared sa mp3 format :D Kahit nagtetext ka or taking pictures, nde magstostop yung music...medyo may interruption nga lang pag nagchachange ka ng application...pero after a second balik na sa kantahan, parang nabilaukan lang ganun.

The camera is superb, 3.2 megapixel sya and with built-in shutter pa. Malinaw yung pix, at ang laki ng screen, so kita pati pimples and blemishes hahaha! It also comes with a USB cable and software for managing your phone files. Na-amaze ako how easy it is to transfer the contacts to the phone kse pede na syang i-type sa PC, then the PC automatically transfers it to the phone. Mas madali kseng magtype sa PC kesa sa phone e, nde nakakangalay.

Syempre may pangit din akong nakita. Like the manual for example. Hindi sya English!, san ka pa. Natagalan tuloy ako to figure the phone out...kasi medyo iba na yung arrangement ng mga applications compared to previous Nokia models (took me 1 1/2 days to find out pano ko sya iseset to vibrate mode). Good thing, every application has a help option, nasa loob na bali nung phone yung mga how-to instruction...kaya lang I prefer a printed out manual...yung pede kong gusutin, lamusakin at balibaliktarin. Mabagal sya mag-on...antay ka ng mga 10 seconds before lumabas yung mga kamay hehehe. Medyo naghahang din sya briefly (3 seconds) pag for example magtatake ka ng pictures...or pupunta ka sa music section. Limited lang yung profile theme selections...walang pre-loaded images...

Kahit may problems ng konti, all in all I'm happy with the phone...like abot-tenga ang ngiti. It has all the features I needed from a phone, plus compared to other new models released...packed na sya with most of the best features (memory, megapixel level). I was thinking kung I should have saved more for an N91 8GB, kaya lng nde ko naman kailangan yung 8 GB memory..saka it only comes with a 2 megapixel cam...at most importantly, di na sya kaya ng bulsa ko heheheh. So in terms of features and budget...solb na ko sa N73 weee~


Next target: PS3 (in my dreams)

Hahaha..ako den pang-ubos oras :)

Your Birthdate: September 13

You don't love lightly. For you, love is always a serious undertaking. However, you are able to love many types of people. You can bring out the best in almost anyone. Love surprises you often. You never know when or where you'll find it next. Number of True Loves You'll Have: 1 Number of Times You'll Have Your Heart Broken: 5 You are most compatible with people born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, and 31st of the month.

Grabe to...5 times!! Haler, I'm 24 already haha. In fairness, 1 and only true love...hahaha nasan na kaya yun XD.

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

You Are 54% Perfectionist

No one would call you a perfectionist, but you definitely have a side of you that strives to be perfect. Try to see your mistakes as learning experiences, and don't be so hard on yourself when you screw up!

You Are Somewhat Mature

You definitely act like an adult sometimes, but a big part of you is still a kid at heart. While your immature side is definitely fun, you're going to have to grow up sooner or later.

Happy New Year! Hayz another year has passed...I wonder what 2007 has in store for meh...hmmm. For the past days before the year ended, I've been into lots of things hehe...I'm still playing FFXII...then I stopped and started watching Princess Hours...then I stopped to do some paper quilling...hehehe dami kong ginawa wala naman akong natapos. I got addicted to twirling papers and made lots of paper figures wee! Dev took pictures of my works of art nyok!

( masterpieces )

I'll be back to work on January 3...nuuuuu! Hehehe...I'm still in bakasyon mode, hopefully tomorrow I'll be in full spirit to do my work tasks on the dreaded day hehe.

Meri Kurismasu! Yey, my favorite holiday has finally arrived, but I have to say this is my busiest christmas ever. When my Tita went back home after staying with us, we have to clean up of course. I changed the bed sheets, clean the bathroom >.< hoe...pagud. I have to make these little bags of goodies for giveaways (para sa mga pahinante sa business :) Then I had a fast wrapping session for my cousins' gifts...hoe. And then on the day of Christmas Eve, Dev and I busied ourselves in making the gingerbread house :D It was very messy but we had so much fun making it. We brought it to our lola's house since most of our kid cousins were there...hindi kasi nagkakalayo ang taste buds nila with ants hahaha.

After making the house (and taking lotsa pictures of it) I made the salad for our Christmas dinner...my legs were practically giving out. After a few hours of rest, we went to our lola's house to bring the gifts and other stuff. We ate some spaghetti our lola prepared, then went home to wait for Christmas day :) My mom's not feeling well, and my stomach's been bugging me (actually I can't tell if it's menstrual cramps) so we decided to do our Christmas eve activities earlier. After dinner, bukasan na...bukasan na! Yey! We gathered around the Christmas tree and had our gifts opened. Bebe loved his new stuffed frog...Dev gave me this big Sakuragi plushie...and Bebe had been trying to get it from me...nyak!

I got lotsa good presents. My mom and dad gave me an early present (new PS2) hee~ and Dev gave me action figures galore (Sora and Yomiko Readman), manga, cds and a POT slam book (hehe). My mom got craft things from me and Dev...and kating-kati na sya to start on her new projects hehe. We gave dad shirts and puzzles. Yahoo for Christmas! The best holiday evah!

For the past days, I've been too busy to continue my FFXII game hehe. Last Friday, we had our company Christmas party, which turned out to be ok. The day before the party, we received this letter from our boss, containing the party program and our assigned duties for the event. I was assigned to make an inspirational speech...goodness, up to the xmas party, pinahihirapan at pinag-iisip ako ng boss ko. The highlight of the event was the awarding ceremony for the writers who excelled for the last quarter and for this year. In addition to the gifts I got from the party, I have to carry two heavy (literally) yearly awards (Best in Quality Work and Writer fo the Year). So, tawanan na naman mga tao sa bahay for bringing two more "tasa-s" at home. Hehe.

My aunt came home from US last week, too. She won't be staying long so we have to make the most of her visit. So last Saturday, after malling, we had dinner sorta gathering party at my Lolo's house. For our Sunday itinerary, we first went to Tagaytay to visit a church and the restaurant I love heheh~ It's called Josephine's...we had crispy pata, sitsarong guisado, sweet and sour tanigue and my peborit lobster wee~

From Tagaytay, we visited my aunt's friend in Paranaque. Quite an adventure as we try to locate their residence. And then, we went to Mandaluyong at Policarpio street where houses were practically covered with Christmas lights. By this time, my feet and legs were killing me and we are finally ready to head home. After a quick dinner, hinihila na ko ng kama...so tulok agad. Watta busy weekend talaga, pero ok naman...at least malapit na kong magleave, then I can do what I want yey!

Ei kero, follow instructions...10 lang ha! Hahaha XD

POTmadness is still not over for meh kehehe...kaya yesterday watch kami ng POT specials......very special, indeed...mwehehehe!

I'm not sure if this POT special is for real or not...pero I'll say it's a special episode for fangurlz...haha. Apparently, this "special" we've watched, parodied the Tezuka-Fuji epic match. Susme of all susme...at first we thought it was only a minor typo on the subs...this was when in one scene, Tezuka said to himself: Fuji, jump higher so I can see your belly-button (kasi nga, when the players make these amazing shots, we get to see their equally amazing tummies)---->o_o HUH?! Wait! This is what Tezuka's aiming for?! Ni-rewind pa namen to make sure. Typo?

Then Eiji commented something like..."All this momentous match just to decide who gets to be the uke"...HUH?! (ulet)

Then Oishi commenting like, "I always thought Tezuka was the dominant one".

Haha, we finally realized that it was a spoof POT special, made to fulfill a fangurl's fantasy :D

Of all POT characters in that episode/special...Inui's comments were the best as well as Eiji's! Hehehe!

Sumakit ang ulo namen afterwards...moe overdose...tabun..hahaha!

Yatta #1: May DSL na kami!!!
Yatta #2: POT series finished!
Yatta #3: ...may DSL na kami! Hahahhaha!

Hmmm...feel ko mag-discuss about POT in this entry hehehe, since I've finished watching it...I'll talk about its ending. What can I say? Watta tear-jerker!! Hau~ Naiyak talaga ako dun sa Ryoma-Momo episode..like waaah! Best buddies talaga sila, hindi ako palo sa so-called "pairing" nila..para sa akin pwends lang sila poreber haha!

Up to the final episode, nothing changed my mind about my fondness for dear fshuu-Kaidoh XD. He can really be a softy, hehehe especially the part when Ryoma was about to leave for the US Open...chuuuuu! Hahaha. Naisip ko din, among other Seigaku players, Kaidoh has the best sense for fashion...yung get up nya when binigay nya yung "gift" nya for Ryoma before he leaves was...weeee!! Fugeh! Hahaha! Kaoru daisuki!

Grabe...sila talaga ang magpartner. I'm referring to Tezuka and Fuji. And the final episodes were enough evidence bwahahah. Dev and I were trying to contain are "moe" blood from rising. Pero we just cant!!! ^^;;

Itanung ba ng Seigaku freshmen kung anong relation ni Fuji kay Tezuka?! Strike one!

...hawakan ba ni Fuji ang 2 hands ni Tezuka out of excitement sa first match nila. Strike 2!

...payong with snow-falling scene. Final Strike! Hahaha. With this scene, we finally come to the conclusion -----> sila. Banzai for the ZukaFuji pairing, my peborit hahaha!

There's still a movie and OAVs plus Live POT to watch. Kehehe! Demo, to date, it's the longest anime series I've watched, watta feat! Game and match na itu, weee! Hehe, yatta!

Ok...ang dami kong task today...but my mind can't help but wander off about the manga I have read last night. Hahahah, I just have to post this XD! I mentioned that we bought this new manga by Yuu Watase (yeah, THE Yuu Watase) called Absolute Boyfriend...or Zettai Kareshi ata sya in Japanese. Heniwei, all I can say is this manga is a must-read!! Hahaha! I have never been so gaga over Watase-san's works but this I think is probably her best so far. It's just so right for young and older girls, especially those still in the hunt for Mr. Right!

As an overview, the story starts off with Riiko, a high school girl who just wants to have a boyfriend; sadly, her courage to confess doesn't seem to be enough to win the hearts of the guys she likes. On a seemingly ordinary day, she came to meet a guy in cosplay attire working for a company called Kronos Heaven. It turned out that the company specializes on selling things like cosmetics, breast enhancement stuff, slimming pills and the like...so basically things high school girls would typically go after hehe. Riiko was feeling pestered by the weird salesman until she finally blurted that a boyfriend is what she wants. Fortunately, the salesman have just the right merchandise o_o, and so he handed Riiko a card containing a website link. Out of curiosity, Riiko logged in to this site called Lover Shop where boyfriends are for sale! Lover Shop works like an online shopping site, where you could select on various "male characteristics" to order the perfect boyfriend for you XD. However, Riiko was unsure of the site, so she just went on sending the 3-day trial order form. After just one day of placing the order, Riiko was shocked to see a large package at her doorstep. Upon opening the huge delivery, Riiko was in for an even greater shock as a sleeping and naked bishie came falling on top of her....

Haha the scenes that follow are even funnier...kaya I'd rather not mention it here at major spoiler na po. Pero grabe, the manga was crazy enough to make me burst out laughing and leave a silly grin on Dev's face HAHAHA! I would scream from time to time while reading it...and Dev will come rushing, tapos tatawa na lang when she saw what I was reading. Of course, it will not be a Watase trademark without the regular villains and third party, making the story even more interesting. Sana marami pang volumes available, pero it's good that we get to have the first book. Pero grabe gusto ko na ng next volume!! :D

Last weekend was probably the happiest for this month gahahha! When it rains it pours nga naman, only this time around...good things had poured over :D Well, last week medyo down dahil when I finally got my hands on the newly released Final Fantasy XII game...guess what? Warak lang naman ang PS2 console ko! Talk about right timing!! The CD cradle won't eject...then may tumutunog sa loob...nung nareralize ko na mukhang malala ang problem, namamawis na ko ng malamig and I could feel the color draining from my face....

Sooo...hokei gotta have one of the precious possessions fixed, kaya nung Sunday...sa Greenhills ang dayo ng pasyente. Nung nakakita na ng manggagamot, hau~ the diagnosis was hopeless case na ang pasyente...the motherboard and lens ay sunog na po...kung i-fifixed daw it will cost around 6,000+....NANIIIIII?! So, they offered an alternative...sabi ng technician, better buy na lang the slim PS2 version na mas practical in terms sa presyo, plus they get to modify it so it could play all types of PS2 games....after much discussions and considerations...nagdecide na lang to go with the alternative, which also turned out to be an advanced xmas present for me hahahha...

Ok while waiting for the new console...syempre nasa Greenhills na lang din...bumili na ren ng games hahahah...huwaahh, I found the final episode of xenosaga and then FFVII's dirge of cerberus (nakita ni dev)...like Yatta! hehhe....then op kors on to the magical bookstore Fully Booked....bought some new manga titles na mukhang kakaaliw (Absolute Boyfriend, Hot Gimmick) and very shojo hahahha...absolute bf is yuu waatase's latest work ata...so expect namen to see characters who could draw the fan gurl in us gahahaha XD!

After the bookstore adventure, we went back to pick up the new console...tried it...and it worked..........at this time, kating-kati na kong umuwi HAHAHA. When we finally got home, syempre salang agad ang lola mo...gwabe, jaw-dropping opening ang FFXII...and good news, all games I bought worked, yehey! Tapos, I also tried games my mom bought before na ayaw magwork dun sa old console...and nagwork din silang lahat hahahha yehey ulet! Ngayon problema ko na lang kung anong game ang sisimulan ko....

Dev and I have been watching POT late friday night and nung weekends, kaloka episodes hahahha....panalo syempre ang chibi fillers....we're finally less than 100 episodes to go...demo mada mada dane :D Maybe tatapusin ko na lang yung POT, then Change Overrrr! (hahaha) muna to RPG-maniac mode. As to my old PS2 console, salamat for the happy moments during my college days :P Otsukaresama deshita ~

Ok, so while drying my hair and preparing for work, pumasok si Dev in my room and told me, "manuod ka ng Death Note, tingin ko magugustuhan mo kasi parang mystery/suspense-like...". I replied "Ah, talaga, sige..". Hmm, excited talaga ako when I heard that kasi medyo limited lang ang mystery type of anime...so ako naman ni-load ko na sa crunchyroll hehehe.

Anong masasabi ko? Well, I'll say it's enough to give me a headache and a heavy feeling after watching just the first episode. Hauuu~ a psycho anime...with an equally psycho lead character. Di ba, there are times when a person is so bad to you na you silently wish something bad will happen to him/her just so you could get revenge? Well, medyo minaliit ang ganitong tendency in Death Note's case. Main plot is, Light (that's the bida's name...how ironic) picked up this notebook called Death Note. It is no ordinary notebook as the owner can write the name of the person they want dead...and even decide how they are going to die. Yup...the owner of the notebook somehow turns into a soul reaper.

Almost the entire episode was set in a dark...or darker setting; the background music is creepy...mostly of a beating heart or sounds suggesting something unexpected will happen. All in all, a series not suitable to watch at night time...might give you nightmares. I was reading some of the viewers' comments on the first episode, and they were wondering what they will do with a Death Note. Hay naku, I'd rather have an Anime Note...lagay ko lang yung gusto kong manga title or yung Kingdom Hearts II figures na nakita ko sa Comic Quest and they magically appear on my desk...mas masaya pa ko hahahah! Kahit psychotic and scary ang series...I have to say the plot is new and interesting...parang devil tempting me to watch more episodes kekekeke!

Last Saturday, we went to megamall...and since 3-day sale, wah lumabas na ata lahat ng tao na pwedeng magshopping that day. Super traffic, daming tao. Mineet namen yung aming "supplier" (hehe) ng anime CDs sa comic alley. Treasure, treasure! Yatta, may copy na ren ng complete ouran and hachikuro, and of course the prince of papas este tennis pala hahaha.

Jampacked din ang comic alley...di na makapili sa dami ng tao sa bawat aisle. Dumadami na talaga ang lahing anime...yung iba naka-cosplay pa while shopping...hokeiiiii. :D School costume lang naman, nothing outrageous kehehehe. Heniwei, while browing and eyeing lotsa anime stuff, nakita ko na yung matagal ko ng nakikitang Advent Children Artbook dun sa shelf behind the cashier. Kehehehe, after a little discussion and negotiation, naghati rin kame ni Dev to buy the book. Hmm at first doubful, kasi nakaseal sya...baka kung ano lang yung nasa loob.

It turns out na isa syang treasure! Hehehehe. The book's called Advent Children: Reunion Files and it contains detailed descriptions of how the characters of this great movie were made. Scenes from the movie as well as some movie quotes are included. Syempre, interviews of each voice actor who were part of the movie are in it, too. The best things about it --- may English translation sya! Plus, all pages are in glossy, full color print. Weee~ *twirl *twirl

It's a very informative book, lahat ng elements ng movie diniscuss - character design, how the voice actors were selected, the animation, the music and even the movie merchandise. FFVII: Last Order and Vincent's Dirge of Cerberus are also in the book's last chapters. I could just imagine yung lumalaking mata of a true blue FFVII fan hahaha (though I'm more of an FFVIII fan :). Through the book, I get to understand more of why the movie's staff did this and that. Movie people interviewed also pointed out yung mga difficult scenes & characters to make; marami ring humorous trivias.

On the way home, nagrereklamo na si Dev dahil sa bigat ng book. Dapat daw worth it ang pagbuhat nya. Buti na lang at worth it naman hahaha, kasi aside from the pictures, may mga new info pa about the movie to pick up :D Good decision, good deal! Hehehe!

The crunchyroll site also has treasure videos uploaded! Yatta! From manga naging anime na ren Yamatonadeshiko Shichihenge (The Wallflower) pati Ghost Hunt! Yeheey! Arigato sa mababait at generous uploaders!

:D

Ang dami ng graduate na series na inaabangan sa youtube...hehehe...and youtube is becoming less and less friendly on anime series uploaders so medyo nakakawalan na ng ganang manuod sa site na yun. Heniwei, buti na lang at meron new discovery video site (www.crunchyroll.com) hehehe! Though nagsisimula pa lang macomplete ang mga dati ng complete ng series offered by the site, quality wise maganda naman sya. Also, it is regularly updated and mabilis mag load :)

Nakapanood ako ng isang special episode ng Kaleido Star in this site (Kaleido Star: It's good. Goood! ang title). Kehehehe, very funny episode...and educational. I even learned how to talk seal. All the Kaleido Stars are in chibi mode sa episode na 'to, kakaiba nga kase the episode appears to be in CG animation instead of drawings. A must-see episode. Ou! Ou! sabi nga ni Jonathan hahahaha.

Lately, I've been following mga anime series na tungkol sa optimism and determination. Like Honey and Clover, na kakatapos lang ng second season. Hagu's story is inspiring as well as Shuu-chan's devotion...grabe, talk about sugoi fighting spirit and determination :) Then there's bokura ga ita. Suprisingly, the series took an interesting turn now that Nana is temporarily free :D I was like, Ike Takeuchi! Go! Go! Love is all about timing, my foot! It's all about effort! Hahaha!

I'm watching a new series, Saiunkoku Monogatari. It's about a land run by a foolish emperor. To motivate and infleunce him, Shuurei was sent to the palace and pose as his highness' wife. Nang dahil sa matinding kahirapan hahaha (palace job = malaking bayad), Shuurei was left with no choice but to play the part. The first few episodes were funny. Aside from a power cast seiyuu, the main characters (na majority ay male) are good-looking....weh scratch good-looking, eye candy kamo! Hahaha! The art and the setting (Chinese)reminds me of Fushigi Yuugi.

Though the story at first is focused on Shuurei as the emperor's temporary consort, the main plot of the story is on Shuurei's attempt to become a government official. See, like any ancient story, women used to be deprived of certain rights, including leadership. Since naging close na si Shuurei with the emperor, the emperor passed a bill which would allow women to take the exams para maging officials. Matalino si Shuurei sa story so she passed; naturally, maraming trials syang pagdadanan to reach the top :( Demo, grabe sa optimism `tong si Shuurei, hehehe, naiiyak na ko sa mga nang bubully sa kanya, la epek pa din! Hehehe! Will continue watching the series, can't wait to see those officials' faces kapag successful na si Shuurei hmp! And perhaps, become the emperor's real wife? Hahahaha!

Siguro ako din ganbare na ren sa task ko hau~ Buti na lang Friday na! Yatta!

Ou! Ou!
