Hmm… Makoto and Yumi. However many times I watch their story in Boys Be I still find myself smiling. They’re such a cute couple! The fact that Makoto’s so bloody naïve about relationships just makes it cuter when he finally ends up with Yumi.

I can’t help but think of someone I recently got to know who’s somewhat like Makoto. I wish though that he’ll realize that he already has someone like Yumi around. Watching them go around each other, relating in such a similar way as their anime counterparts make my stay in UA a lot more entertaining.

I just wonder when I’ll stop being the observer and start being the participant... hmmm, then again, there may already be someone and here I’m just as dense as Makoto and Yumi were! Wahahaha!!!

I’m making you guys think who right about now, ne? Lolz ^^

Dragon Girl / Gugu of Legend of Condor Hero pisses me off. Pucha ang arte niya kasi. Kundi ba naman siya nag-i-inarte tulad ng ginawa niya e di hindi na kinailangan ni Yang Gou madanasan lahat ng mga yun. Actually, ang tanga nilang dalawa at yun lang yun.

Bought a new mouse. It looks small and spiffy. *grin* And it's red! A really cool and shiny red!

Old mouse got busted after I banged it a few times on my room’s wall after it frustrated me so much coz it went all weird on me and wouldn’t move properly when I was coloring my el_estrall characters.

Gah. I’m bloody happy coz of a bleeding mouse?!

I just realized that level-headed and ultra calm Kurama is scarier than Hiei+Yusuke+Raisen+Yomi+Taguro+Mokuro+Shura+Enki on a killing rampage. I’d face an angry mob before I’d face a determined-to-fight-me-and-win Kurama. He is one scary guy...

Aileen, Ana, I know why you like the guy but dudes, even if you give him to me (which both of you will NEVER do in the first place, never mind that both of you actually have to share him with millions of fans around the world) I won’t accept him. He scares the shit out of me.

Although, he IS one great ally. If he’s on my side on a fight then I’d feel a lot more confident about my chances of winning. But put me directly against him and I’ll run like hell and hide till the next decade comes.

Why the sudden post about Yuyu Hakusho? Well, simply because I’m watching the Channel 7 reruns. Hiei is so CUTE!!! Wahahaha! Guess I haven’t changed in that way, ne?

Ai, Ems, remember the stories we used to quip up back at the dorm? *sigh* I really wish we video taped or recorded ourselves!

*feifu feeling nostalgic*

haaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy...

What were the kids’ names again? Some were Megumi and Kakero ne? I forgot the others heheh ^^ Only Kakero stuck to my mind coz the kid was so memorably makulit, magulo, pilyo, atbp.

Sweet ripe mangoes with fresh cow’s milk tastes DIVINE! Never mind the bloody calorie count, my gods! Ang sarap talaga!

A small bowl of that was my whole dinner, btw. Dapat dessert sya, pero kahit yun lang nakakabusog na!

Hay! Hinahanap-hanap ko pa yung lasa! Ang sobrang sarap talaga! Punta kayo dito samin while season pa ng mga mangga tsaka tiyempuhin niyong nakabili ng fresh (as in fresh from the cow ha!) na gatas yung mom ko... my golly gosh, ang sarap talaga!!! I wanna have that for breakfast tomorrow kaso inubos kanina ni Kuya Tan yung milk. Just as well, pampasira sa diet eh.

Gah! I think I’m about to truly and wholly give up on eating any kind of animal. Well, I can still tolerate shellfish but since I catching that show where I saw people butchering a chicken and another show filleting a live fish… well. I’d rather stick to tofu, veggies, and fruits for now. As long as I’m not killing any mammal or bird or fish and putting it inside my mouth I’ll be perfectly happy thank you very much.

I’m becoming more and more picky with my food. Ahhh… my mom’s getting tired of me making a face whenever I see a piece of meat, raw or cooked.

Quiz time!

Seika, Ana, don?t worry, I?ll lend it to you pag natapos ko ng basahin at kapag nagkita tayo ulit heheh ^^

Our dog died. His name was Putot. He was named so because his tail was short. He died yesterday, the afternoon of Valentines Day.

I didn’t even notice him gone. My mom had to tell me after I came home from the mall this afternoon. She suspects that he had been poisoned. No one can say that he was poisoned from the food Ate My gave him earlier that day for our other dog ate the same stuff and is still alive and well. Ate My, Mom, Tito and Kuya Romy suspects that our next door neighbors threw some poisoned food at him.

Nobody else could throw poisoned food at him coz he was tied at the back, near the kitchen, near the fence between our dear neighbors and us.

I can’t help but agree with my mom and the others with their suspicions.

They don’t like us. They’re angry at us coz of a fiasco involving one of my cousins and them. Long story that. My mom and I didn’t have anything to do with it though. We just heard of it happening via Tita Pes. And for some reason, pati kami nadadamay coz of this fiasco. Every time we see them on the street they either ignore us or openly glare until we pass.

I had no quarrel with them but now... if I ever prove that they indeed had something to do with our dog’s death...

I did say in my earlier post that I’m not exactly proud of being a Punsalang, right? Well, one thing I got from my father’s side is getting revenge without the act of doing so getting pinned on me. Woe it be to the person who incurs my wrath. I won’t hurt that person, but I will do everything in my power to make their lives a living hell.

Why so much anger, you may ask... Putot was just a dog after all, right? Wrong... he was a family member. The most important for me is my family. I even go to the point that I see my close friends as part of my family; I unofficially adopt them. I will kill anyone who hurts anyone I consider family. Okay, maybe not kill, more like torture.

Dammit, I’m so bloody pissed off right now. I’m typing this just to let out steam. In a way, it is good that I didn’t see him dying... at least this way I still feel somewhat detached about the whole deal. Coz I didn’t see it happening. I don’t feel like crying. I just want to strangle someone.

Had a bit of an adventure the day before Valentines... it was really quite interesting though, my first time to actually do something like that. Although it irritated me just a bit at one point, the fact is that I found myself laughing half the time.

Now don’t even start thinking green thoughts.

Already told the gals (yes, Ems, An, Ai & Tin) about the debacle. *sigh* How I ended up doing that for him I have no idea.

Like I told Tin, in fairness, the guy is a good catch. The fact that he’s one torpe idiot aside, he’s admirable because of how patient he is when it comes to the person he likes. Too bad though that she doesn’t seem interested. But Mendoza men usually get their way, especially with women, at least from what I’ve observed with guys with said surname anyway.

This whole fiasco gave me something else to watch during my stay in UA. Parang nanonood na rin ako ng mga drama at tv novelas heheh... I wonder how this’ll turn out. Will he get found out? I kinda hope so. Heheh, technically it’s in my power to get him found out (evil me) but then I won’t say anything to anyone coz I did promise him I won’t.

Hay, eto nanaman ako. Porke may possibility na kamag-anak nagiging softie nanaman ako kahit pano. People with the surname Mendoza have that effect on me.

Come to think of it, I feel the exact opposite with people with my surname. Sometimes I kinda wish my surname was Mendoza instead of it being my middle name (sorry dad) ^^ This dislike with my surname comes from my experiences with my dad’s relatives.

Take note, I said my dad’s relatives hehehe... I know they’re my relatives too and all, but if anybody would like to have them then I’d be more than happy to give them away. You can keep them. Good f**king riddance.

Well, I have to admit that I’m proud of SOME of my dad’s relatives. Rhoslynne’s one. Then there’s... er... can’t think of anyone else.

Hell even my dad at times jokes about giving them away. He refers to them as MY relatives, not his. Maybe my dad’s half-jokes made my whole attitude about them just as negative as it could get.

Hay, san na ba napunta ang post na to?

Anyway, here are some quizzes:



What DragonBall Girl Are You?

I'm Jean Valjean!
(No, really.) Some people may see me as a little sanctimonious, but though I care deeply about doing right, I'm not above a little skulduggery in a good cause. Being in touch with my spiritual side doesn't make me an easy target... on the contrary, in fact. Which Les Miserables Character Are You?

You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your
wings make a statement. Huge and born of flame,
they burn with light and power and rebirth.
Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an
amazingly strong person. You survive, even
flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm
believer in the phrase, 'Whatever doesn't kill
you only makes you stronger,' you rarely fear
failure. You know that any mistake you make
will teach you more about yourself and allow
you to 'rise from the ashes' as a still greater
being. Because of this, you rarely make the
same mistake twice, and are not among the most
forgiving people. You're extremely powerful and
wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion,
and anger. Perhaps you're this way because you
were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or
maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality
and know that life is tough and the world is
cruel, and it takes strength and independence
to survive it. And independence is your
strongest point - you may care for others, and
even depend on them...but when it comes right
down to it, the only one you need is yourself.
Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on
a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your
wings to guide you.You are eternal and because
you have a strong sense of who and what you
are, no one can control your heart or mind, or
even really influence your thinking. A symbol
of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very
spiritual person with a serious mind - never
acting immature and harboring a superior
disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity's
stupidity and tendency to want others to solve
their problems for them frustrates you
endlessly. Though you can be stubborn,
outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.

LONG POST… been typing my posts in a word document the past week. Been meaning to post them every time I connect to the net kaso I keep forgetting to do so. Oh well… here goes:

***

Reality slapped me in the face recently, but I refuse to say goodbye to a dream. In the end, I know I will prevail.

I. Will. Win.

***

Best friends really are the worst enemies. It’s a cliché, but totally true. That promise of lifetime friendship when betrayed is almost always impossible to mend.

I used to really like Musica in Rave but as I watched the series on AXN today I found myself liking Gail Glory instead (must be my current obsession with Sohma Shigure…they kinda look alike). Although I liked him better when he was younger, not that his current look now that he’s older is bad. He could use a shave though heheh… The scar can stay coz it makes him look hot. Lolz ^^ Guess I’ll really never get over that fangirl phase ^^

Gail Glory is such a tragic character that it’s painfully romantic to watch him. I think Sakura’s death was rather dumb though. Idiotic woman just took the blow. She could’ve dragged her husband away from the scene or done something besides accept the blow from King… anyway, never mind about her.

Like I already said, best friends turned into enemies are the worst. I should know from past experience. Long story. I’ve already told some of you about it, and to think the whole thing began because of a piece of pad paper… haaaay…

***

I’m pissed off at my group mates. Ayoko ng mag-rant pero P***** I** talaga nila. Yun lang yun.

***

Heheh, got a review from ff.net for one of my YYH stories. One of my readers is getting pissed coz I haven’t posted the next installment for sooo long. The story’s all done na, but I’m hesitating about uploading it for some reason.

Furuba craze seriously on.

Just saw some manga scans of Chapter 88 and it’s just soooo darn CUTE! Furuba characters as Cinderella cast for their school play. Tohru’s one of the “evil” stepsisters who can’t conjure up anything evil to say; Yuki’s the fairy godmother (*insert laughter*); Kyou’s the prince charming who challenges at Hana-chan – black clad Cinderella who can’t stop cooking and eating during the whole play – to dance. Oh yeah, “Cinderella” was also trying to kinda pair up Prince Charming Kyou and her not-so-evil stepsister Tohru waheheheh!!! ^^0

Oh! And I was right about Shigure. Even in the manga, he’s the only one left who doesn’t have a personal history or chapter about all about himself. I can’t wait for an all-Shigure chapter!!! What made him want to be a novelist? How come he can stay “Outside” the Sohma compound even though he’s one of the Juunishi? Why’s he so bleeding loyal to Akito? What’s his role in the Mabudachi Trio? When did those three exactly lose their virginity? Is Shigure really interested in Mayu or is he just tormenting her so she could end up with her beloved Hatori? Shigure’s always looking after the rest of the Juunishi, but seeing that he’s so manipulative, I wonder what he gets out of doing so?

Waaaaaaaaaiiii!!! Wanna buy the whole manga set… so far I think there’s 12 but I dunno if 11 and 12 are in book format yet.

Of all the Ten Commandments, the 8th is the easiest to break and the hardest to fix.

It’s either I really truly have stalker tendencies, or I’m just too curious for my own good. It’s just that, this guy recently makes me wanna grab a pencil and paper, and DRAW! Still talking about the “Dennis” guy. I like studying him. No wonder… the boy is built like those Saiyuki guys. Imagine Gokou, only more Chinito, of fairer skin, and of darker hair. Course the boy’s not a glutton like Gokou… and he is extremely vain...

Ah well… whatever.

Either I’m still feeling guilty about what happened last Thursday or I like that idiotic kid and I just didn’t notice it… I’ve been having these really weird, take note that they’re not romantic nor sexually related in any way okay, dreams about him. Just two actually, but two is already too much, IMO. In the most recent one, he was telling me why he uses that cartoon-related bag for school. In my dream he was telling me that he had a girlfriend who loved using that bag and she died; so in order to remember her he uses it or something like that.

This guy and I… we don’t talk to each other. What I mean is, have conversations. The longest time we exchanged words was maybe less than 30 seconds. Or make that 20 seconds. Main reason is that I can’t stand his goofiness and the vainness and his seeming lack of respect for authority and rules. I like keeping rules mainly because they make things simpler to live with and by. Of course I’m not really a stickler for rules and I’ve my share of fun times breaking them, but anyway… To see someone who likes breaking them so much, with total disregard of the consequences on himself and everyone else, irritates me. Am I just being a hypocrite? Maybe.

This is the guy I told Ana reminded me of Dennis Wesley. I like Dennis, but his real-life counterpart I can barely tolerate.

I love watching Nigella Lawson cook simply because her accent’s so wonderfully British! That and she cooks these really delicious-looking yet simple to make meals that are sufficed with so much fresh vegetables and herbs.

Problems is, some of the ingredients she uses are just too hard to find at the local markets; either that or they’re just too bloody expensive! I mean, feta cheese, at least the ones I see at the supermarket at the mall costs around 150+php at yun na yung pinakakonti. And where the hell am I gonna buy fresh mint? And all the rest of the herbs she uses? The closest I can get are the dried ones from McCormick (sp?)

Anyway, caught her show on a Jap channel today (coz we’ve got no classes again) and once again fell in love with that woman’s kitchen. Ang dami niyang gadgets for the kitchen! Astig!

Mental note: Earn enough money so I can furnish our kitchen in the same way.

*Warning: Lots of Fruits Basket spoilers*

Been reading Furuba manga translation, and just realized that Shigure’s the only character who Tohru hasn’t exactly changed yet, even after 80+ chapters. He’s still a mystery. He’s more of a mystery to me than Akito is.

Have you noticed that in the anime there wasn’t any episode about him? Yuki had his bit about his fear of Akito, Kyou of course had that true-form thing, Momiji with his telling of his family, Haru of how and why he “loves” the mouse, Hatori with Kana and spring, Ayame with his issues about his brother, Kagura and her tending-towards-violence obsession with the cat, Kisa’s issues about being bullied at school, Hiro’s love for the tiger and jealousy over the onigiri ^^, Ritsu’s lack of confidence about being alive, course Rin and Kureno weren’t in the anime so can’t really include them… but even Uotani and Hanajima had their moments.

Apart from the times Shigure was shown torturing his rather pathetic editor, Mitchan, there wasn’t really anything about him. Sure we know he’s a writer. Sure we know he loves joking around with people. But we barely get to learn about anything about his past. We know he was childhood pals with Ayame and Hatori, but apart from that, what else?

Reading the manga made me think that Shigure’s the most intriguing character in the whole story. He’s so hard to figure out. What’s he thinking behind the façade of that teasing smile? He’s a writer. Writers are ALWAYS thinking about something despite the lack of words that come out of their mouths. Or even when they’re saying something, one can’t be too sure that those words are what you may think they truly mean. Am I making sense?

Anyways, in the manga Shigure’s a lot more conniving than he seemed to be in the anime, where he just seemed like a doting and fun-loving guardian type for everyone.

Why is he so loyal to Akito? He alone among the Junishi doesn’t freeze up whenever Akito’s name is mentioned.

Oh yeah, Seika, Ana, in case you don’t know yet, Akito’s not the rooster. It’s another Sohma named Kureno… there’s an interesting story going on with him and Uotani ^^ And there’s that bit about Kazuma, Kyou’s master and adoptive father, and Hana-chan ^_^

Oh and Ana, I just realized, Hatori’s ex’s name was Kana di ba? Was watching GSaiyuki today, saw Cho Hakkai’s flashback about his dead gf… her name was Kana too! Kana minus k equals Ana! Mwehehehe ^^ And you like both Hatori and Hakkai too… hehehhe… add Trowa in and you have three guys with hairstyles that cover half their faces... hmm, maybe I should let James' hair get long? HAHAHHAHA!!!

Ei, Ana-nee, anong nangyari sayo? What’d you mean sa tinext mo? Couldn’t text back anymore coz naubusan ng load… as usual! My gosh girl, you’ve managed to make me worry!

Seika-chan! Wai! Wai! Congratz sa sale ng iyong painting! Me very proud ^^

Today in Philo2 one of my classmates got scolded by our prof. He didn’t actually do anything wrong. He just asked a question. A valid one. But our prof was pissed off even before the poor guy opened his mouth to ask, pissed off about an entirely different reason not brought about by my classmate, but he let out his anger on the poor kid.

Nobody defended him.

I am ashamed to say that I didn’t defend him. I should have. Coz I know he really didn’t do anything wrong.

His is like the case of the boy who cried, “Wolf!” He’s usually one of those really noisy and unruly students, sakit ng ulo sa lahat ng professors namin. But just this once he was seriously asking and this is what happened. He tried defending himself, but his past behavior was against him.

I could see the faces of the rest of my classmates. They looked like they were thinking that the poor guy really did something silly again and brought out the prof’s ire on himself, like he usually does – rather intentionally at times. Although this time, he really didn’t do anything wrong.

And I said nothing. I feel guilty. Keeping silent like that. I should have said something. I should have defended him. Our prof listens to me enough to believe me if I said something to defend my classmate, but I didn’t.

I should have said something…

Hay, pagod na pagod na ko! Buti na lang at walang klase ngayon. Don’t ask why wala, just one of those inane school events that I refuse to go to kaya andito ako ngayon sa bahay resting. Still have to write two papers, polish up the supposed “group” report for Earth Science, and study for a 6-chapter test. Oh and finish up coloring the mural. Takti… Busy ang sem na to. It’s nice though… feels nice to be doing something. Hated those months na ala akong ginagawa except wait for the day to end.

My prof in my Saturday class is a complete dickhead. I seriously do not like that idiot. Here I slaved over the mural he told me to do, lost sleep making it in a week, and he chose not to use all of it. The bastard chose a few parts of the whole mural and told me to incorporate it with some stuff he brought to class. So the whole message of the mural’s way off from the original one and in my point of view the whole thing’s totally ruined. Thank you very much Sir for wasting my time.

Just watched Moonchild. It was okay. I’m not really much of a Gackt nor Hyde fan so can’t say much else except that it was okay. And astig. Cool fight scenes. Nice clothes. Sarap nilang idrawing… the two’s body types remind me of Minekura’s style of drawing, ka-body type nila mga guys ng Gensoumaden Saiyuki at Wild Adapter.

Haven’t watched The Last Samurai yet. No time to do so.

Hey, it’s Perfect Blue on WOWOW now. I’m not watching it anymore coz I still have class tomorrow.

Haaaaaay…

Minna, how are you guys doing? Tag kayo! Or better yet, email me, ne?
