Am I Running Out of Good Luck? >_

Nooo!

Right. I was thinking about this, and it kinda freaked me out. Well, a little.

It's been such a lucky, happy, splendid month for me. Several things occurred and those things were pretty much unexpected (and many to mention). But I would like to emphasized on the rebirthing and/or resurrection of my most precious beings in life: my beloved laptop and don't forget, my desktop PC of 5 years.

Having them working again and living (in my belief, they are alive) means a lot to me. They have been the reason I'm still motivated with my life, and without them my life is a little less brillant. They keep me attached to my passion, anime, and they are the only beings which can make me feel emotions.

That is why I feel that I am the luckiest person alive.

I fear that because all of the good things I know happened subsequently to me, my luck will run out anytime now. The only thing I had in my wishlist now is the TV tuner. If I don't get it by the end of the year 2008, it will be appearing in my 2009 Wishlist. It will be terrible.

Let's set aside that topic for a while. Today, I analyzed that I should have another set of wishlist for movies, series, and downloadables I want to have. I'm starting again with my lost Mp3 collection deleted from Hazel-PC (luckily, the series I just finished downloading was recovered, thanks to Mr. Ian of Acer ^^). On top of that, I want to organize everything so it won't be troublesome for me (my new activities involve lending my collection to a couple of college friends).

I really want to accomplish a lot of things before 2008 ends. I hope everything meets my needs.

I'm Too Happy, I Cannot Believe It...!

Most of my net friends have been continuously pinging me on YM. Almost all of them wondered where I have been. Why? Simply because I wasn't the always-online-person they knew. I've been missing for about 2 weeks now. Yes, it seems to be a mysterious disappearance to nowhere and I owe a lot of people some sort of explanation.

As my closest friends all know, I love staying late for PCs and chatting with them. So when I was lost and missing in the cyberspace, it was a mystery.

Not really. :) I could occassionally PM them using my mobile phone, or when I go to school and login from there. And so they kept saying "Nabuhay ka!" or something like that. I could only laugh. I miss you guys.

I was missing and lost because I ruined my prized possession, my laptop. My desktop isn't fixed as well... sad to say, it will take a long time before I get it fixed. I don't have funds fot that yet. :P

Anyway, going to the title of this text, it's quite not connected. The title must be: I am mourning, right? But since I saw this person, ano hito... this kare... member of 3M, whatever you, me or my closest buddies address him, I became ecstatic! I never thought that I'd see him again after almost a year in this wide UP Diliman campus ACCIDENTALLY! Guuzen ja nai! Hahaha...

I'm so glad I walked along that place that morning...

Ureshii!!

Japanese Song of the Month (November)

Kono Namida ga Aru Kara Tsugi no Ippo to Naru
Because There Are These Tears, They Will Become My Next Step


















Original / Romaji LyricsEnglish Translation

Sore ga hetakuso de
Nanka kuyashii kedo
Mada akiramenai ne


That's my clumsiness
Its something vexing, but
I can't give up yet, right?


Bonyari toshiteru yume mo sono uchi ni
Kiri ga hareta you ni shite miseru


But as for the absent-mindedness within these dreams
It will clear away like a lifting fog


Kono ippo susumu made
Tsugi no ippo made
Jikkuri yuku kara
Mae ni susumu kara
Jibun no peesu de


Until I take this step forward
Until I take another step after
I'll continue carefully
Moving forward
At my own pace


Chiisa na heya demo
Yabou ga tsumatteru
Ichiichi iwanai ga...


It was a small room, but
it was full of ambition
One by one, unsaid was...


Sorezore no jidai sorezore no jinsei
Dakedo tsunagatteru ningenmoyou


Each area, each life
But then, that's what tied everyone together


Kono namida ga aru kara
Tsugi no ippo to naru
Hakkiri wakaru yo
Mae ni susunderutte
"Kagayaki" no moto e


Because there are these tears
They will become my next step
I understand it perfectly
I am going forward
To the origin of "radiance"


Kono namida ga aru kara
Tsugi no ippo to naru
Hakkiri wakaru yo
Mae ni susunderutte
"Kagayaki" no moto e


Because there are these tears
They will become my next step
I understand it perfectly
I am going forward
To the origin of "radiance"

Apologize... :)

Hmn... just posting the lyrics. :D

APOLOGIZE


sung by: Timbaland ft. One Republic



I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say...


That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late


I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new)
Yeah yeah


I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
"Sorry" like the angel, heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...


It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Woahooo woah


It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeahah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeahah


I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...

Anime Song of the Month (October)

Anime song of the month is BACK! :)

Waltz (Warutsu)


Honey and Clover OST
Description: 1st ending theme

Vocals: Suneohair
Lyrics, Music: Watabe Kenji
Arrangement: Suneohair

View Kanji





















Akanai mabuta kosutte mieru
Pasuteru moyou no mirai ni
Chiribamerareta kigou wo tadoru
Taguriyoseta hyoujou


Rubbing my unopened eyelids, I can see
Into a pastel-patterned future
I'll pursue an inlaid symbol
My expression one of reeling it in close


Nee, nan dakke sagashite ita mono
Are ha, sou ne itsu dakke
Bokura ga inryoku ni sakarainagara deatta koro


Say, what was it that I've been searching for?
When, let me think, was it?
That we met as we defied gravity


Sore ha warutsu no you da ne fushigi sa
Sasayaku you na komorebi no kousaten de
Futari warutsu no you ni ne mawarinagara
Egakidashite yuku mono


It's like a waltz, isn't it? So wondrous
At a crossroad lit with sunbeams seeming to whisper through the trees
As the two of us rotate as if in a waltz,
We express ourselves


Atatamesugita omoi wo zenbu
Hakidashite mieru randosukeepu
Hantoshi ijou kusuburaseteru
Imeeji ni hi wo tomoshite


Throwing up all my overheated emotions,
I could see the landscape
Over half a year ago, I made it smolder
By setting the image on fire


Nan dakke nakushite shimatta mono
Soredemo iinda tte
Bokura no inryoku de hikiai motomeau no darou


What was it that I've lost?
Even so, I'm fine, I tell you
We'll probably seek out comparisons with our gravity


Sore ha warutsu no you da ne suteki sa
Tsubuyaku you na saezuri kikinagara
Marude warutsu no you ni ne futari ga
Egakidashite yuku mono


It's like a waltz, isn't it? So lovely
As we listen to chirps that seem to murmur
As if we're dancing a waltz, the two of us
Express ourselves


Aa, toboketa genjitsu mo genshoku de nurikaete shimae
Hikiyosete ageru kara nee
Soko kara odoritsudzukeyou
Futari dake no warutsu


Ah, repaint reality, which is playing dumb, with primary colors
I'll draw you close to me, so, please
From there on, let's continue to dance
Our very own waltz


Sore ha warutsu no you da ne fushigi sa
Sasayaku you na komorebi no kousaten de
Futari warutsu no you ni ne mawarinagara
Egakidashite yuku mono


It's like a waltz, isn't it? So wondrous
At a crossroad lit with sunbeams seeming to whisper through the trees
As the two of us rotate as if in a waltz,
We express ourselves

Semestral Break Has Come!

After a long time of waiting, I finally got my freedom from school work. Stress took place about roughly 8 hours ago, and now it's just time to relieve myself from those stresses and finally focus to my pending movies, series and anime to watch.


First off, Gossip Girl first season episodes 12-18. This has been the one recomended by girl friends and I discovered that this type of show is kinda fun too. I usually don't get to see a Western show that hooks me, but this one's the exemption.


Next, Hana Yori Dango 1 or Meteor Garden 1. I sorta felt like I wanted to go back to the old days where high school dramas and dreaming of F4's who won't exist happened. Some load of drama and romance for this weekend, I guess.


Finally, it shall be the roster of movies I downloaded ages ago. All of these could just be either Korean or Hollywood, nothing more and nothing less. Titles have been carefully picked and I could tell I'll have an enjoyable Monday with these.


I won't forget to the list of must-sees this sembreak the anime Bokura ga Ita which I haven't finished watching. After this anime, I'll be watching two seasons of Honey and Clover and then I should download the J dorama version. After that, I'll await for the completion of the Taiwanese drama version.


All these won't be complete without reading shoujo mangas I have downloaded from mIRC last year. What's not good about old school manga with a spice of romance and bishies all the way?


 


I hope to accomplish everything before the 5th of November comes...

Hana Yori Dango-- The Korean Drama Version

Yes, it is slated for release in 2009. Affirmative ito. KBS 2 is to air "Boys Over Flowers", the ever-famous Hana Dan's K-version. I've seen the lead actors and they're quite young, as in 3-4 years lang ang tanda sa akin (consider that young ^^). Anyway, the one acting as Makino seems to be a very pretty girl. She's Koo Hye Sun, and she already starred in the KBS drama "Pure 19".

[caption id="attachment_202" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Koo Hye Sun as Makino Tsukushi"]Koo Hye Sun as Makino Tsukushi[/caption]

Actually, I wasn't really going to write about Hana Dan. This post must be all about "Sweet 18", KBS drama that I just watched earlier (to myself: dramas are aired at KBS World every Monday from 11:30 PM-12:30 AM). I was suddenly revived from my weariness about all these papers for tomorrow and my Pol Sc 11 final exam. Lee Dong Gun, one of my pilot Korean crushes, is the lead guy here. I liked him again ^_^.

In line with Hana Dan, I watched Meteor Garden 1 episodes 1-10 last weekend. It was fun, and Da S and Zai Zai still looked good together. Too bad they broke up already... Well, JVKV (take note that F4 is not the boyband's name anymore) guys are so hot way back in 2001. I just can't wait for "Hot Shot", Jerry's latest Tw drama revolving around basketball (and he's with Wu Chun here).
