School is almost here!!! AHH!!


I'm sorry for not posting!!! Please forgive me! I have EXTREMELY busy for the past week. I have been involved in a type of VBS at Church. I'm a leader and its fun playing with kids. I'm sad that our VBS is ending...........I had quite a bit of fun!

Well, I have been working hard to earn money for choir fees (private lessons! Yay!!), the Boston band trip (I KNOW RIGHT?! Won't be as fun as New york but hey!) and my trip home which is Philippines. I have to re-learn my language will be tons of fun. It's going to be hard to grip the accent. The accent is harder than it sounds. I have been living around it for all my life but........I find it difficult!! I can grasp the Japanese and Korean accent but not Filipino.



Aso is Dog in Filipino. :D

I tried listening to Filipino pop music (some were good.....), watching Filipino drama's and I don't understand a thing!!!! This is frustrating.............I also asked my parents but its pretty hard because they are like, "This is how you say this....and this..." It helped alot but not enough. Oh by the way, if you know any good Filipino singers or songs, feel free to recommend them! I need some songs to listen to! I already know about Yeng Constentino (I think thats how you spell the name...), Piolo Pascual, the actress, Kim Chu (I LOVE HER!) or the hot actor Gerald Anderson. Here's a picture of him! Prepare to gaze upon his hotness!! :D


Today, I had time to cruise around the internet and I found this interesting but funny video about Korean Dramas. The man hit some really funny points about dramas and I think you guys would like it! Watch it!!

Things I Learned From Korean Dramas 
 
 
Analyzing Asian Stereotypes
 

I love the line this guy says (at 2:45), "....and Filipino's I don't know what they own but they are good singers though" Haha! That is mostly true! I think I'm a good enough singer..... :D Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 30: Why do you like Katekyo Hitman Reborn?


Yay! Done this challenge! Well for a while...........I'm sorry! I haven't had the time!!!! Wow, one month was here and now gone...........school is almost here! I'm dreading it to be honest. I will miss staying up and sleeping in late. However, I get to see my friends! I love my family but hey, its nice getting away and being with friends.

Picture from Arina Tanemura's, Gentlemens Alliance Cross

Anyways, today's challenge is the easiest ever. What I love about Katekyo Hitman Reborn is the storyline, characters and art. I'm just amazed! The storyline is just downright amazing and I enjoy it alot. At first it started out slow with the introduction of characters but it slowly got better and better. The storyline got more complicated as more characters came in. I just love it!

The art was ok at the beginning but it got EXTREMELY better. I'm in love with it now! It's so detailed and elegant. When I see colored pages, I could just stare at it for hours. I enjoy this manga/anime so much!

Almost done this challenge! :) *Cough* *Cough* I'm dying here! So tired and dead...........

Anyways, my favorite ending would probably be, Sakura Addiction (Mukuro and Hibari version!) and Gr8 Story (Byakuran and Shoichi version!). I have many more but those two songs are probably are my main favorites! The voices are so hot...............*drool*

Gr8 Story -Byakuran & Shoichi- 

Sakura Addiction- Mukuro and Hibari ver!

Arigatou~!!

Happy Belated Birthday to Ai!


Time: Midnight

Sleepy..............but don't want to sleep! I have this terrible cold. My fever is going away at least but my headache is killing me. (Well, duh, you are staring a bright computer plus its midnight) Here I am drinking lemon tea with lots of sugar. My throat is extremely sore and I can't talk!

Wow, look at how I started this post. Sorry Ai! I didn't want to sound extremely cheesy. You'd hate me! Anyways, I just wanted to dedicate this post to my best friend Ai! Who is Ai you ask? Well, Ai has been my best friend since....................grade six I believe. I can't even remember how we first met. All I remember is that manga has brought us together! :D I'm such a nerd.

Random picture ....... :P Just something to make you smile

I moved away before grade eight happened so I feel extremely bad. Until now, me and her has been exchanging emails and letters. Since I got to see Estelle last week, I gave my birthday present to her to give to Ai. If you are Ai reading this, I hope you like it..................I drew lots of hot guys for you.........I'm sorry if they fail or something!

Arina Tanemura is her favorite mangaka ever! Arina Tanemura is amazing~! Ai's birthday is on August 9th same with my other two friends, Elly and Aaryn. I unfortunately missed it because I was camping. Please don't hate me! > x < Haha!


When I was with Estelle, I got her into the Korean drama, You're Beautiful. My mission is to get Ai addicted to this drama too. Especially the songs. They are amazing! Shall I put some here for you? Doesn't matter if you say yes or no, I'm putting them on anyways! MWHAHAHA! I am the master!

....

I'm seriously going crazy. Great, being sick also means going insane. You know what they say, if the world is sane, you just need to be insane just to make life more interesting.


Current Time: sdfjdfsieieijaljsfdilewje (1am)

Please don't get confused. By this time, its probably..................one am. I just quit this post and crashed at this point. What I mean by crashed is, getting a terrible headache and laying my head on this laptop like it was my pillow for half and hour until I realized it wasn't my pillow. Sorry if I'm being confusing but hey, life is confusing!

Current Time: 12:00 Lunch time!

I went to bed at like, 2am. I finally woke up and ate just now so hopefully there isn't anymore distractions. Please forgive me Ai. Now where were we? Ah, yes, the songs! Here they are. Ai, if you are reading this, you better listen to them and watch the drama with Estelle or something!

As Ever

Promise
Without Words

Well, I guess this is the end of this post. Wait! I have another song, the birthday song! Of course its going to be a Japanese song.
권보아(Gwon Boa) - Happy Birthday(Japanese) 

English Translation: Impatient of waiting Happy birthday, unreached I love you I wonder what the you today knows, although I've always been by your side Always two of us together, merrily meet and gazed upon each other It seems I thought that even without words, it will be fine The promise I made with you, I wonder if you still remember The wish at that time still remains the same Spring is coming again, in the middle of the street is glittering While thinking of you, I chose the present Impatient of waiting Happy Birthday, unreached I love you I wonder if the you today is smiling. Although I've always been by your side after how long is only time flows Will it become easier, will it be completely forgotten If only hurt memories are remembered just a little The season only filled with your real self Celebrations were always with the two of us Your dreams were always seen together and always wished to make them come true for you From my heart happy birthday, all alone I miss you Someday when your dream starts to blossom, I wanted to be by your side to see it Spring is coming again, in the middle of the street it's glittering While thinking of you, I chose the present Impatient of waiting Happy Birthday, unreached I love you I wonder if the you today is smiling. Because I'm always praying for your happiness Actual Birthday Message: I just want to say, I'm happy I met you Ai. I am extremely happy I became best friends with you! I'm sad that I can't come to your party or at least see you. I have to see you before we both graduate. You are an amazing and beautiful person. I wish I could draw like you...............Love you tons!!! Arigatou~!!

Friends, Food, Cats and Camping


*Sigh* I just finished all of the days that was needed for my manga challenge! I also finished work so I'm sorry if some things don't make sense. Also, I am catching a cold! (NOO!) *Cough* *Cough* I can hardly speak!

Anyways, I have missed a whole week of blogging last week so I just want to pile all of my excuses/adventures in this post. I have lots of pictures and information I will share with you today. If you just want the manga recomendations, I will put them throughout this post because I am extremely lazy to put them in another post. (Man, this post is going to be the longest I have ever written!)


I'm feeling a fever at this point..........on with this post!

Ok, where do I start? Oh, yes, the friends. On Friday August 3rd, I got to see my best friend for the first time since last Christmas. Her name is Estelle (blog name!) and she has quite of blogs. I started blogging before she has and she is doing quite well! :) You can help her out by checking out her blog! She does alot of music recommendations on the one blog.......I can't remember.


I want my pillow......I need sleep!

This blog: http://kiritsuko.blogspot.ca/ or this blog! http://echo-in-the-wind.blogspot.ca/. Whatever seems appealing to you, go ahead and read them!

Anyways, I got to spend three days and two nights (not long enough!) with her. I missed Estelle soooo much! I'm not kidding. It makes my day whenever she emails me. At times, I feel extremely bad because she ALWAYS gets/sends me a whole bunch of manga's and she doesn't want any payment! Thanks to her, my manga collection has grown ALOT since last year.


When I saw Estelle waiting with her Nannie and Grandpa, I was like, "She hasn't changed a bit!". Estelle showed me around her Residence which was extremely cool. She was living on her own for one month? I maybe wrong. If I'm wrong, she'll comment or send me an email! :)

Here are some pictures of food that I ate and stuff I bought while I stayed at her Nannies house! The first night, Grandpa (I just call Estelles grandpa that, I don't have one) treated us to Vietnamese food. At first, I was hestitant but I ended up loving the food. I order this teriyaki meet with vegetables. It was amazing! My tummy was extremely satisfied. The food was delicious~!!


On the first night, me and Estelle talked up a storm until 3 am. We just didn't talk but I successfully got her into the Korean Drama, You're Beautiful. We watched three episdoes? I can't remember. It was like a week ago!



The next morning, we woke up at around 9:30 am. Nannie drove us over to Starbucks for breakfast. Man, I felt like I was being spoiled! Estelle bought me breakfast (DARN YOU! I owe you now!) and we talked with Nannies friend for a bit. My drink is on the left (Hot chocolate-yum!) and Estelles drink is on the right. I forgot what the drink was called...... :)


After about an hour or so, Nannie set us loose at in Chapters. You see, the Starbucks we went to was attached to Chapters. I was getting books for my other best friend because her birthday was on August 9th. I felt bad for not getting her anything last year so I made sure I got her something amazing. Same for Estelle, I didn't get the time to send her birthday persent to her so I got payed for one of her books.



Doesn't the art look amazing??? Plus, theres hot guys!

There were many manga books there! I was contemplating on what books to get! I had the manga Sakurahime Kaden vol 3 and 4 for my best friend's birthday and Estelles Samurai book...........I needed to get myself a book! I ended up getting vol 2 (no volume one!) of the manga, "The Betrayal Knows My Name" aka, "Uraboku" in Japanese.


After our adventure at the bookstore (I love the bookstore), me and Estelle went to a Heritage Festival that was happening. It was extremely cool! It was like traveling the world in three hours! We went to this Indian stand where people were getting Henna's which are just temporary tattoo's. Estelle told me that the black Henna's can cause cancer so we both got brown ones instead.



Alright. Me and Estelle went to the Taiwanese stand where we both got extremely cool umbrella's. I also got this awesome Pikachu hat! I know I'm such a kid but hey, it was awesome and I couldn't resist its cuteness...... :D


I'm the Blue Umbrella on the left! Cool huh? :D


The cool thing about this Heritage Festival was I got to see dances! For the first time I got to see traditional Filipino dancing. It was really neat! I got to experience my culture!


After a while, me and Estelle found the Japan stand! It was sooo cool!



Me and Estelle got bookmarks with our Japanese name! :)


After that amazing adventure, we went home. We took the bus and it was really cool! I haven't been on the bus for a while! I live in a town so don't judge me!

Anyways, Nannie took us to the store to buy food for dinner. I ended up getting Pocky there.


For dinner, we had amazing hamburgers! We ate outside where it looked pretty bad because there was a storm coming! The lightning was scary....



It got pretty bad after everyone was done so we all went inside to eat desert. It was amazing!! I love you Nannie!


Here are some manga's if you are craving some! :) Time to take a break from reading my life story and take the time to read my manga recommendations!

Title: Hana wa Sakura Yori mo Hana na Gotoku
Author: Kawai Yuumi and (Art) Sakano Keiko
Genres: Gender Bender, Comedy, Romance, Drama, Fantasy, Shojo, Adventure

Summary: From Sound of Jewels:

At a time when the world was still at peace, to the east of the capital, a beautiful dancer of Noh named Hakubi appeared. She was keeping a terrible secret that she couldn't tell anybody...

This manga is extremely amazing!! :) The art is breathtaking! The storyline is just getting started! I can't wait for the chapters to come out faster! I love the plot with the dancing. It's extremely educational. Plus, the men are soooo hot!! I think I'm going to die! Here's another breathtaking picture! I need more color!


Manga boys with long hair= hotness! :D

Summary: (mangafox.com) You're pretty much dead already.
By the time you realize it, you'll be at the edge of the afterlife!
Contending for a chance at revival, a thrilling buddy action story!

This manga is utterly interesting! It is marked as "new" on mangafox.com so I can't wait for new chapters to come out! The art isn't so bad!

Ok, back to my life story again! If these manga recommendations didn't satisfy your cravings, there is still more to come!

As for the Cat portion of my post, I temporarily had a cat. It was interesting. I met this cat on Thursday August 2nd before I went on my Adventure with Estelle. I looked outside of my house one afternoon, I heard a meowing noise. I'm pretty sure I wrote about this before but whatever.
Anyways, I'll cut to the chase. It died halfway through our camping trip. It was extremely depressing. When I got back from my adventure with Estelle my family was frantically getting ready for the week of camping. Fun. You know me, I hate camping! Actually, it wasn't as bad. I met lots of people such as these crazy Filipino's! They kept stealing my Pikachu hat and blue umbrella!


Back to the cat! I come back home from my awesome adventure and I notice the cat wasn't feeling well. My family discovered this cat on the thursday and after that, it was like our family cat. However, this cat was wild and my family was like, "What's wrong with it?!" after it started to throw up. We figured it drank water from our pond which is extremely unhealthy considering the water looking yellow. I felt so bad for it. My family ended up bringing it with us.

On the way to the camp, we finally came up with the name for the cat. We named him "Lucky" because he/she has to be lucky that we found him/her in our yard. That cat would have been a goner! But it ended up dead anyways.......its so depressing! I cried...........we only knew the cat for.......four days? It was such a young kitten! He/she was pitiful.........

Anyways, sorry for the depressing news. I'll talk about camping! Camping was so bad. As I've said, I enjoyed meeting people and napping. My Pikachu hat attracted people! Ok, time for my last manga recommendations!

Genres: Shonen, Seinen, Comedy, Romance, Action, Adventure, Fantasy

Now he must journey to Chaos to learn of a way to return home and save his brother--who is dying of a rare disease.


The art is AMAZING! I love it to pieces! Just look at it! WOW! There's a sequel to this manga if you have already finished. It's called, "Cavalier of the Abyss". I haven't read it yet since I'm still finishing this manga. The stroyline is downright amazing! Though it kinda reminds me of the manga/anime Busou Renkin. Anyways, it still has it's differences and I enjoyed it so much! I fell in love with the art right away! The action scenes are pretty dark and cool. Shonen lovers out there, this manga is for you!

Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 27: Favorite Opening

I love so many openings! Espically when they are done by the voice actors. They make me so happy! My favorite(s) will probably be (sorry if they aren't openings.....oh well) Funny Sunny Day, Sakura Addiction, Sakura Rock and Gr8 Story minus their character songs. They are amazing!

Funny Sunny Day is an opening but I'm not sure if the rest is...............yep, the rest are endings! Here is my favorite opening song!

Squalo, Bel & Luss - Funny Sunny Day 

Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 26: Saddest Moment/Episode

Um.......probably when Yuni dies. I can't remember what episode at the moment so I'm sorry! It's like, 3:20 am. Anyways, I seriously cried. I am an extremely emotional person. It's true! If you ever watch any movie with me (except horror), I will tear up in it. Don't judge me!

There aren't very many sad moments in Katekyo Hitman Reborn and I actually had to use my brain for this day.


Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 25: Funniest Moment/Episode

I am stumped now! I'm just flying past the days of challenges and I get to this one! I actually have to do work............oh well. I'll just put a whole bunch. You better watch them!

Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 24: Least Favorite Varia Member

I don't have a single one! I love them all together! > x < I won't budge on this one! They are extremely funny together!


Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 23: Least Favorite Arcobaleno

Mine is Verde! I don't like him very much..............but I really love his appearance when he is an adult. He is extremely hot~!! Other than that, I don't like his smart personality. :(



Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 22: Least Favorite Shimon Member

Hmm..............once again, I don't have one! What's up with these least favorites? Where's the love? :)


I love them all!!!

Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 21: Least Favorite Vongola Member

I don't know! I just love all of the Vongola members! When the character is by themsleves, the storyline is somehow boring but when the character is together with another character, it makes life more interesting. I don't have a least favorite. I love all the of them!!!


Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 20: Anime or Manga?

Hmmm...............I guess I like both. Both anime and manga brings many interesting things and I always enjoy reading and watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Of course the Anime does skip some parts of the manga but hey, it still captures the plot and characters of the story. I like the anime because I love to see the manga in motion. Plus, the hot voices behind the characters. I love voice actors! I respect them!


The only bad thing about the anime is that it ends at a point where you have to go to the manga to read the rest of the story because the manga is always ongoing. It doesn't surprise me.

The manga is amazing because you can see the development after the anime ends. If you have been reading the manga, Akira Amano introduces new characters and of course, a new arc. The art is just amazing and breathtaking.



I'm just torn between the manga and anime. So, I'll just save myself the grief and I'll just say I like both, the manga and anime.

Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 19: Favorite Mafia Boss

This one is extremely easy! Mine has to be Tsuna! Hottie all the wayy! I know he is such a wimp (like me!) but he is extremely strong and nice. I love his character.


Arigatou~!!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn Challenge Day 18: Favorite Millefiore Member

Ok. I'm sorry for not posting or replying to your comments for the past week. My excuse this time will be camping. About two hours ago I stepped into my house and plopped on my bed for the first time since last week. Where have I been sleeping? Well, my family has a trailer so I was fine. My bed was quite comfortable. I didn't sleep in a tent in the dark and cold outdoors. I'm too much of a wimp for that!

Anyways, I got home at midnight and I can't sleep. It's like 2:30am and I hope my parents won't wake up and check on me and my siblings. They will kill me!

Alright, down to bussiness. I have about a weeks worth of challenges to accomplish. Here I go! (I'll finish my excuse in a separate post)


My favorite Millefiore Member would be Gamma. Other than Byakuran and Yuni, Gamma would be my best bet. At first he was a jerk and a meanie but once you got to know him, he is such a sweet guy. I love him! I cried when he died.................. :( Sorry if I'm spoiling it!

Arigatou~!!

One Year~!

Today marks one year I have worked in Mcdonalds! Yay~!! Sigh, I have worked with many different people and I'm proud to say that I worked with awesome people! I know Mcdonalds isn't the best place to work but hey, I get payed and have fun with my co-workers! To celebrate, I finally had the time to recommend manga's! Yay!

I have to tell you guys that I'm going to camping ALL week next week. This means no posting or working for the next week. It sucks! You know the awesome thing is? I get to see my best friend this weekend! WHOO HOO! I haven't seen her for a year so I'm so happy!

The funny thing about today was I finally figured out where the meowing noise was coming from. All of you are guessing it was a cat and your right but I didn't know where it was coming from! At night I leave my window open because its hot and I always hear a meowing noise. Today, I hear it again but this time, its during the day. I look out my window and spot an orange kitten sitting there.

I go outside and it spots me. It got freaked out so it ran inside my Raspberry bush. That cat is so scared of my family! Until we fed it sardines and gave it milk. We don't know if the cat is a girl or a boy so I don't know what to name it.....


Title: Rurouni Kenshin, るろうに剣心 -明治剣客浪漫譚- Rurōni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku Rōmantan
Author: Watsuki Nobuhiro
Genres: Shonen, Comedy, Action, Adventure, Romance, Fantasy
Reading Direction: Right to Left
Age Rating: Older Teen 16+
Status: Completed

Summary: (mangafox.com) 140 years ago in Kyoto, with the coming of the American "Black Ships," there arose a warrior who, felling men with his bloodstained blade, gained the name Hitokiri, man slayer! His killer blade helped close the turbulent Bakumatsu era and slashed open the progressive age known as Meiji. Then he vanished, and with the flow of years, became legend.

Now, ten years into the Meiji Era, a man named Kenshin Himura appears and is revealed to be the Batousai.

Join Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko and Sanosuke as they battle it out with their enemies while Kenshin is trying to stop his 'other self' getting out of control.....


The reason why my I read this manga/watched this anime is because my friend would probably kill me if I didn't! I'm going to see her this weekend and I didn't want her to kill me! In the end, I ended up falling in love with this manga because its extremely amazing I couldn't sleep for the whole night. I couldn't drop the manga!

Typical Shonen manga's sometimes like to start out slow and this one did. After getting into the manga, the storyline finally started to develop. The art slowly got better and hey, I loved it! You have to read this amazing manga! I can't believe I didn't read this manga earlier...... :D

Here's another manga by Watsuki Nobuhiro! I'm reading both at the same time! I don't know which manga is better..............ARGH!


Title: Busou Renkin, 武装錬金, Arms Alchemy
Author: Watsuki Nobuhiro
Genres: Comedy, Shonen, Romance, Fantasy, Action, Adventure
Reading Direction: Right to Left
Age Rating: 16+ Older Teen
Status: Completed (Yay!)

Summary: (mangafox.com) Buso Renkin is the story of teenager Kazuki Muto, who dies trying to save a girl who was being attacked by an eerie monster. The next morning, however, Kazuki is left wondering whether it was all a dream. Lo and behold, the girl, the monster, and his death are all real! The girl, Tokiko Tsumura, was actually trying to slay the homunculus (a beast that can take the form of humans, but whose main source of food is people), but Kazuki got in her way. To revive Kazuki, Tokiko replaces his heart with a "kakugane," an alchemic device that allows him to summon a lance with which to fight the monsters. It turns out that Tokiko is a member of Renkin Kenshi (Alchemist Soldiers), an organization sworn to protect the world from the diabolical creatures. Soon, Kazuki joins Tokiko in her quest to terminate the sinister being that creates and controls the homunculus.


I love the storyline! It's amazing! Wow............the mangaka is just amazing for creating two amazing manga's! I don't know which one I like better. Both manga's I just read are extremely unique. Though the art is better in one because its newer, that's understandable. I'm torn between the storylines. I noticed that Busou Renkin's storyline is a tad less complicated than Rurouni Kenshin. It depends on my mood if I want to read a complicated storyline so I'm still not so sure what manga I like better.


Title: CuteXGuy
Author: Tateno Makoto
Genres: Romance, Shojo, Gender Bender, Comedy, Fantasy, School life
Reading Direction: Right to Left
Age Rating: 13+ Teen
Status: Completed

Summary: (mangafox.com) Sumi is in love with Mitsuru, but he doesn't seem to be interested in her as a woman. Determined to look more sexy and mature, Sumi takes an experimental growth hormone that her scientist father has been developing.

However, the medicine backfires. Instead of changing into a buxom femme fatale, Sumi changes into a beautiful young man! She--he--is so gorgeous and so cool that even Mitsuru begins to take notice. Although the new situation with Mitsuru is imperfect, Sumi discovers that she can be closer to her crush: they can talk man-to-man. Yet, being Mitsuru's friend also has a downside, particularly when he reveals that he is in love with a girl in his grade!


This manga makes my Yaoi brain go haywire! The main character turns into a man and well, she looks hot as a man! Seriously, if you see the picture on the top of this paragraph, you will notice a good-looking black haired man. You see, that is a female. The person with the blonde hair on the bottom right is a man not a woman. Yaoi fangirls out there, you see my problem here?! They look like the typical Seme and Uke!

Anyways, the storyline is soo funny and cute. I love it! Gender Benders make me laugh! The art is hot and cute. Hotties everywhere! :D

I just didn't like how it ended. Other than that, the art and storyline are perfect and cute! I read this manga when I was in Toronto. Interesting. :) There's a similar manga to this. If you want to read something similar to this then read, Hana no Kishi. It's amazing! The art has flawless and beautiful characters. I want to draw like that too!
