Damn, I want to know who else is watching Itazura na Kiss in my flist. I want to fangirl / boy with someone.

Or I will die of kilig. Seriously. NAO plz.

And I am not going to be tempted into watching the damn T-drama, at all at least until the anime finishes. There are a few sources saying that the ending planned for the anime will be the one that the mangaka (RIP) wanted to do before she died. Thank god for husbands and chatty housewives.

p.s. The new ending song for episode 14 is so damn good. It's going nonstop on my playlist.

This is GREAT! According to this, one of my favorite manga of all time, Skip Beat!, will be animated for the Fall Season of 2008.

At first I heard that there was going to be a Taiwanese Skip Beat! drama starring Jerry Yan (MG) and Ariel Lin (ISWAK). I was really worried because, well, no offense to the Taiwanese, but they usually murder botch up manga when they adapt it to a drama. Take Hana Kimi, for instance. And Meteor Garden 2 LOL. XD

Anyway, this is great because as far as I can see from the upcoming 2008 Summer Anime Season, there's really nothing to look forward to. However, if they're gonna give us a fantastic line-up for the Fall Season (after Spring Season's awesomeness), it's going to be worth the wait.

Rumors of this all-star line-up for fall include sequels for Nodame Cantabile, Jigoku Shoujo, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, Clannad, Kodomo no Jikan, Hayate no Gotoku and Rosario + Vampire, as well as a set of highly anticipated new anime.

I honestly didn't expect a sequel for Nodame. I guess the anime was so incredibly successful that they had to do one. :D

Maligayang Kaarawan!!


p.s. Shet, naubos Tagalog ko dun ah! XD

Just finished reading Shinshi Doumei Cross. Despite being a manga that I really liked before, I was quite disappointed with the ending. For all the "depth" Tanemura-sensei tried to insert into the story, I thought the ending was quite shallow. Yeah, they resolved all the issues, sure, but there was no real conclusive feeling to the ending. Nevertheless, I'll try to read the whole story again when I have time, and maybe then it'll make much more sense.

Anyway, enrollment updates? Do I still deserve to be posting something like this when it's my 6th year in UP now? I've been very lucky with CRS for the past three semesters now. I didn't have too much trouble getting subjects save for one, and even that was easily solved by falling in line for about an hour or so. Enrollment was cheesecake. XD

Still no updates from NUS, though. Good thing UP extended the payment period until June 17, giving me enough time to procrastinate delay the payment until the very last minute. I don't really want to pay almost 7k for tuition to just up and leave a month later if I get accepted. Keyword being "if". But if not, then that's a-ok. I think I'll just finish my course in UP.

And so I finish with an oath that I will try not to break: I promise to attend ALL of my classes this semester. :D

P.S. I'm looking for a good part-time job. I wanna try being a barista at Seattle's or Starbucks. Who wants to come with me? ;D

EDIT: MORE BAD NEWS. Saiunkoku Monogatari II just killed one-half of my most favorite pair in the series. Great. Just great. =_=

EDIT EDIT: Ok, maybe I jumped the gun a bit there. Good grief Eigetsu. Don't give me any more heart attacks. >.<

Only stopping by for a sec to greet cheska

belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

and to the_pink_star, dahil baka magtampo ka:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Matatanda na kayo! Hahaha! XD

LOLz. This post's sole reason for existence is to scar everybody in my f-list.

Here's an example:




tRANCE FHM edition. Bwahahaha!!

Fake lj-cuts:

LET THE SCARRING BEGIN!!!
JayL's Birthday Bash plus MUCH MORE SCARRING... KEKEKE.


The beach trip was TOTALLY fun, even though I was coughing my innards out THE WHOLE TRIP. Poor me. I went with Ran, Patch, Birthday Boy JayL, my sister Angel, Ann, and the Merez Family. But yeah, I finally had the guts and gall to wear a bikini. (Putang ina mo Xley, walang aangal. XD) And guess what, Ann and Ran decided to wear swimsuits too!

Since I figured this'd be the only outing I 'd be participating in this summer, I wanted to go all out. We had TONS of fun--all the laughing made my cough worse and my voice hoarse, and probably infected everyone else, sorry!--but I never regretted for a moment that I came.

We were able to do so many things we didn't plan on doing, as well as those we did say we'd do *coughbikinicough*. The boat ride was awesome, the games were hilarious, and the food was TERRIFIC!!

I'm looking forward to next year more than ever!! XD

I hope everybody has as fun a "summer" as I did this year! ^^

My best friend is really talented. She's pretty, she can act (well, it's not seen much here), and she can REALLY sing. They recently made an MV of an original song that she sang. The quality of her vocals isn't really shown here, but I'm still proud.

I love you, best friend! XD




The editing was good, but I think that kid in the painting was thinking "What the hell am I doing?". Hahahaha. XD

Globelines is teh shitz.

The first time I applied, they had the gall to say I wasn't eligible because the minimum income for their subscribers was Php 12,500, and my paychecks for that month only amounted to Php 11,200. Nevermind the fact that I actually told them I didn't have anything to waste 3/4 of that amount on because I'm my Dad's friggin dependent, and I was only working part time. The difference was only a thousand, for chrissakes. And so I walked out of the customer center cursing under my breath.

ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY STRIPPED THE FRIGGIN REQUIREMENT. And so, forgiving little me filed another application with an agent who kept asking me to apply, even going so far as to text me night and day (on unlimited text, I'm sure). Now it's been one month since I gave the requirements, and I still don't have internet access. The 5-7 working days application processing is a big bunch of bull. The agent who used to pester my ass all day long is not replying.

I hate Globelines.

Ok. I just HAD to post because (I know this is OLD NEWS and all but I just found out about it so stfu kthnxpls) two of my most favorite shoujo mangas are going to be animated! Whoo hoo! Although sometimes, I hate it when my favorite mangas are animated (coz they butcher them), but this was really a pleasant surprise. I was actually looking for new anime to download because I ran out of titles because 2008 anime first season was crappy except for Hatenkou Yugi.

Special A = WIN. I just don't like the art that much because it doesn't do justice to the manga. But then what anime did? (with the exception of Ghost Hunt)

And... dun dun dun dun! VAMPIRE KNIGHT. I can just imagine Mamo-chan as Zero! It gives me the chills. Hehe. And argh! What is with that latest manga twist?! I'll still be Kaname x Yuuki whatever happens. Huhu. T.T

Just came back from celebrating New Year's with my relatives. This was actually the first time we ever got around to celebrating anything other than Christmas with them, and I'm now wondering why we didn't do it sooner. I spent the whole time eating, singing, and having the greatest time with people I never knew I could be close to. Not only that, I got to be really good chums with my SUPER CUTE nephew, who, allegedly, is nangingilala. My cousin (his mother) tells me that I'm the first person to ever make him smile in front of a camera. I absolutely adore this little guy.

Pic spam:




Me and Vince. Chocolate and Milk.
Look! He has my eyes! XD




PEACE! But he can't do the peace sign so he settles for all fingers. XD


crux_australis, my nephew can give Sho a run for his money. XD

So there, doting tita mode over. XD

After tomorrow, if I ever do business with lipat bahay/trucking services people again, I'll make sure they stick to schedule like shit in the butthole.

:((

I'll be resigning from my current job on the 20th of December. I really wish I hadn't enjoyed being with my officemates so much, then it would probably be a breeze to just leave the company. I'm looking for a better paying part-time job where I don't have lug myself to Makati (because it still is my most disliked city in the country), and where I'm not as easily bored.

Meme I gacked from practically everyone:



crux_australis, magical girl? If it's about money, then I agree. XD

And cleira_raven, what is with you being the animal and the blond girl with D cup at the same time? XD

Aaaaaaaaaand, finally... *points and laughs at kushii*. XD

Thank you to everyone who remembered and greeted me yesterday. xD

Happy Birthday to the dorkiest stalker in the whole world:

chibi_boom

Hehe. xD

And h_matsumoto, the chisms I'll be telling you in person, 'coz I think my fingers will cramp up if I type it instead. xD

I took the Doubutsu Uranai thingie and was pleasantly surprised at how accurate it is. Incredible. @_@

[x]'s are placed beside truths. xD

You will take great interest in your children's education, and will turn out to be a good mother and a wife. [x]


Random: The last part, where it says I'll be a good mother and wife someday, I want to happen. But if it doesn't happen that way, I'd like to be the "Cool Tita", the one who's the kunsintidor for the cute little nieces and nephews I will be spoiling rotten. xD

I went back to work for the first time last night after a leave of absence of about a month and a half. By the end of August I was in such deep shit with attendance--all my absences, tardies, and No-Call-No-Shows (NCNS) were by that time maxed out, meaning I was on the verge of being terminated. Here's a brief rundown:

Absences = 18 (note: termination = 16)
Lates = 18 (note: termination = 20)
NCNS = 3 (note: termination = 4; these stay on your record your whole life at the company)

Those who are also friends of crux_australis, I think you know that we had tried out working at a Korean English online-teaching company at Eastwood, which she promptly quit by the third day (for good reason), dragging me along. Around this time I really was going to tell my superior that I was resigning from my current job (because of all the absences) and getting serious with the new one.

Good thing I didn't.

Apparently, that time I was on leave, the big boss of our account came to the company and pardoned (lolz, we're like in-mates) everyone of ALL attendance violations in honor of our anniversary. Meaning, I'm getting a clean slate again! And along with that, my regularization that I was so sure would still be months away, it's here! YAY!! xD

I was thinking that I was the luckiest girl alive yesterday. Now if only my grades turn out good. xD

(crux_australis, boy am I glad you're fickle. Hahaha! xD)

*~*~*~*

And onto the unluckiness. Whenever sisteena used to rant about her groupmates this past semester, I always found myself thankful that I didn't have a single pasaway groupmate. Was I ever wrong. I have a partner in a final paper for PA 111, and he is the worst groupmate I have ever had in my stay in the university. (Too bad, he was pretty good looking.)

He wasn't an absentee group mate. He communicated with me. So what made him a bad group mate? I sent him a written report that my group in another class wrote as basis for our paper. And what did he do? He copy-pasted the WHOLE document and passed it off as his own, added two pages (double-spaced, if I might add) of rubbish that was way easy to write, and wanted me to come up with 5-6 single-spaced pages of critical analysis for the paper. WTF.

I really hate being manipulated. I hate being taken advantage of either. I'm usually a good group mate, simply because I hate being thought of as the one pulling down the group. But this is really way past what my patience can handle. And he had the guts to bellow at me through text message. The only ones who get to do that are my Papa and Mama, and even then I don't let them get away with it.

Frickin' asshole.

(We still haven't passed the paper that was supposedly due last Friday. Hurrah. =_=)

*~*~*~*

Dedication: Thanks for the laptop use, Ran. xD

Just had dinner at Shakey's with Ann (sisteena) and Reya (utakalabasa). I spent almost 250 bucks, so I am going to be living as a pauper for the next three weeks due to lack of funding from my salary ('cause I was on leave from work) and my parents ('cause it's sembreak). Goodbye for now, rich-and-famous lifestyle.

I really miss those times when the three of us were housemates, when it was perfectly fine to go out in the dead of the night just because we wanted coffee. (And no, Reya, I'm still not willing to pay 4k just to live under the same roof with you.) I can freely discuss things with them that I can't really bring myself to say out loud in front of others. I guess in a way we're still connected even though we don't see each other so much anymore.

(Yes, you two, call me bitch, I'm posting this for that reason. XD)

*~*~*~*~*~*

Got three subjects out of six for the first run of pre-enlistment. Not bad, but not good either. All I got were PA subjects (which are really pretty easy to get without having to pre-enlist online, with the exception of Acctg 1). Damn, I need to get that Psych 101 class (Van Heugten, of course) or I'm done for. I manipulated my schedule next semester to accommodate my job schedule. All my classes should be in the afternoon so it'll be easy for me to go to class and then work right after.

These are what I still need:

Psych 101: TF 1-2:30 or 2:30-4 (whichever I get; I enlisted in both.)
Pol Sci 11: TF 4-5:30 (absolutely necessary)
Socio 11: MTh 11:30-1 (also absolutely necessary)

If I don't get these subjects during pre-enlistment, I'll be preparing myself for some groveling.

EDIT: I've been invited to my best friend's sister's birthday party on Thursday. Children's party at McDonalds, lol. (What is it with me and McDo birthday parties? XD) Goodbye, exam review. XD

Yesterday was the crappiest least desirable performance we'd ever put up, all things considered. Thanks to Dennis and China for the warm welcome, next time (if there is a next time) we promise to do better. XD

I'm not bitter about it, none of us are. We were quite relieved about it, actually, for various reasons. I'm just happy I can perform again. We got rusty from not performing for the longest time. XD

*~*~*~*~*

I should have known it was a bad idea to go home. I'm procrastinating so much I think all my grades are gonna suffer. This house has a serious sickness--extreme laziness. I should be going back first thing tomorrow so I could get on with paper-making and reviewing. Damn, acads are the shtz. =_=

It's ok. I just have to know how I feel and where I stand, and then I'll be alright. I won't have expectations, and I won't expect anything. Two times is one time too many.

~*~*~*~

Ok, I know you guys at Gonzo don't wanna do the dying-for-each-other thing, but why a tree?! Sigh. No matter, I don't care if it's Romeo and Juliet (and as such, should have a tragic ending), but you've brought it this far for you not to give it a happy ending. Me want happy ending! Three eps to go!

~*~*~*~

WTF is wrong with CRS? I'm not a non-major anymore, so why didn't they change it? And this day is probably the only time this week that I'll be able to go online for pre-enlistment. Grr.

~*~*~*~

Damn. Just when I thought being a student again is cool, all the profs conspire to bite me hard in the arse. Good thing I'm allowed to extend my leave at work, otherwise I'd be dead by now with lack of sleep.

~*~*~*~

And lastly, but most importantly, goodbye Boom! See you next year. See you online. You will always be one day younger than me. Hahaha.

At long last, we've regained what's ours.

Congratulations, UP PEP SQUAD!!

The choreography was the BOMB. XD

Just finished reading the latest scanlated chapter of Yamada Tarou Monogatari. And aoimidori was right. After reading the manga, I now feel that the drama isn't up to par with the crack. And I feel that Sho as Mimu is weird because I can't see Sho pulling off that rakish smirk Mimura always shows when it's about Tarou. I wish I'd just finished the drama first, then read the manga.

And zomg. I don't know if it's considered lolicon, but argh! I wanna see the chapter where the grandpa pairs Mimura and Tarou's (9-year-old) sister off in the drama. It's CRACK! And it's soooo sweet. Who cares about the many girls who fall for Tarou when you have a cute MimuraxYoshiko pairing that you can root for. Ahahaha. But I can't see the drama going into that direction, 'coz you know, we're talking about a REAL kid here. Sho x Real-little-girl? XD

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I went on a download spree of j-pop albums I've recently wanted to download. Some of those are from the doramas I am currently watching (though some are still slated to be released, like Happiness by ARASHI and Hoshikuzu Sunset by YUKI). I've downloaded:

1. Ikenai Taiyou by Orange Range. - Opening theme for Hana Kimi.
2. PEACH by Otsuka Ai. - Ending theme for Hana Kimi.
3. Hotarubi by RYTHEM. - RYTHEM's latest album.
4. Colors of the Heart by UVERworld. - Opening theme for Blood+.

I'm still wanting new music for my player. Any suggestions?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Our internet is going crazy again. The connection is down for two weeks, and when it comes back up, it fluctuates. I think Smart's really got the problem on their end, since I can practically hear legions of subscribers complaining alongside me. The only time these past few days that I was happy about the connection was when our download speed shot up to 60kbps for almost 6 hours. I know it's not much, but it still beats the downtime.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Finally, payday. I shouldn't be this happy, but I've got a TON of bills to pay with no money to pay for them. I don't like being broke; it strips you of all confidence of surviving the next day. And I don't want to hear my dad saying "May trabaho ka na nanghihingi ka pang baon?" (You've already got a job but you're still asking for allowance?). Not that he says it a lot (but I feel really uncomfortable when he does say it), but I wish people would remember that I'm just a student and I'm only doing this job because I want extra money. For myself. For my share of the pad's rent. I'm still wanting my cut-down weekly allowance, thank you. Yeah, I'm selfish, go figure.

Pinipirata na ako. (I'm being pirated. <- LOL, is this even grammatically correct?) I've received text messages from a much better paying, or so I've heard call center, and I'm seriously thinking of resigning from my current job to apply for one at that company. I'm working almost full-time hours now, but I'm not satisfied with the pay. I'm comfortable with the people I work with, but I can't really stay for that reason alone. And regularization is practically a dream, 'coz I've got too many absences to account for. Boo.

Now what should I do? ~_~
