Happy Birthday… Birthday.

Right. Today is his birthday, and it’s pertaining to: boyfriend, YKW, YKH, Honey, Hani, ANPM, Chorva, Garci, Jose, JS, ****** (haha concealed!), and so on… whatever me and my friends call him or me alone. Anyway, that’s too trivial, so let me just dedicate this post to him—since, yea, it’s his birthday. 20th birthday to be exact.

I know this is a bit awkward to post since I haven’t mentioned him regularly on common all-about-life posts yet I’m always with him for the longest time—breaking records on YMs, telephone conversations and of course the grand “Longest stay in our house award” (I grant this to visitors who exceed the records- previous winner was JM, or was it Roy?).

So what about him now?

Hmn. Let me just talk about some things I know about him right now:

1. He studies Japanese Language- scary. I never thought he’d do that. I was always the one interested in that stuff… until now. He’s somewhat the next-level freak that I am when it comes to Japan.

2. He’s 20- no longer a teen, haha. I wonder what else can he do because he’s older. Dang, I wish I am 21 already. *chuckles*

3. He’s into PC games- not that this fact has changed for three years?

4. Recently, he had this “wisdom tooth”- ooh, sounds interesting, but it appears that he’s soo in pain because of that. Yeah right, I even saw it. Haha.

5. He’s an alien- did he just admit that some time ago? He lives in Habitopia—somewhere in another galaxy, in an island called Habilandia (am I right?). Sure thing, that’s make-believe.

6. He is weirder than me- that’s in some special cases. These include: food choices and mixes and other stuff.

7. He’s watching Discovery Channel and National Geographic- that’s most of the time, since he takes the remote control from me and switches to that when I should be watching Rukawa on Slam Dunk! (gah!)

8. He imposes- there have been lots of his requests or should I say rules about some things. Hmn, I won’t mention them.

9. …and so on.

(Actually, I’m planning to make these 20, but I couldn’t remember a lot today. :D)

Haha, great. Just great. ;)

Confessions of a gg-holic

While it may be true that my interest for Western dramas and guys is quite questionable, this time, it’s true. I’m interested in The CW’s teen drama series Gossip Girl, based on the book with the same title.

I don’t know if it’s really my College classmates and friends or C-chan (now called “C”) or myself that really got me into reading and watching it at the same time. It was just like one summer ago that I heard some UP people’s addiction to it. I often even wondered what got them into watching it. Oh well, so much for that.

Right now, I avidly download every single episode of its Season 2, and admittedly, it got me hooked. It was such an intriguing series, although so much difference could be noted when it comes to the book itself. Anyway, I think it’s better in the series since it’s more lighter and the fact that watching is so much easier than reading. Besides, you get to see their on-screen equivalents pretty and that.

I wonder whether I’ll drop this enthusiasm for gg someday. Who actually knows that?

Dramatic

I really have no intention of creating a post today with this title. I just loved the song Dramatic by Yuki. To begin this post, I would like to say that I don’t really mind now how many of my posts will be posted. Whatever.

There are approximately 7 days and something hours before my downloads will be complete. Unfortunately, I’m leaving the house tomorrow for the whole aka entire day. How then could I finish this download and start the next one?

I don’t care about My Girl Pinoy Version since I have a LQ copy of it. What matters is SMM, since I haven’t watched its first eps and also it’s got an international franchise. It’s quite a worthwhile download.

So then, I better stop wasting bandwidth on something else.

Shall I quit YM and Windows Messenger? I don’t know.

I don’t know has been my overused favorite phrase.

Thinking

Can’t seem to place another good title for this post. I’ve been writing nonstop today here (well, there are stops). I have a goal of completing at least 200 posts till the New Year’s but then I didn’t quite make it. Anyway, I might fail on tomorrows 131 exam. I have no idea why I don’t seem to be interested in studying right now. Was I thinking of something else that I want to do so it hindered my studying mode? Or did I really lack the motivation to pursue my studies?

Honestly up to now I don’t know yet if I wanted Public Administration as my final course in life. I always wanted to pursue a writing career or something in the broadcast communication, or maybe the best I could think that I madly like is about computers. But unfortunately for me I wasn’t accepted because of the sad marks and red ones I had in my first two years. It’s my entire fault anyway.

I know that I want to be someone proficient in the Japanese language because of my anime fanaticism. I became an otaku at an early age, and from the time I wanted to sing anime songs all day and the time that I wanna read and understand its lyrics, I have built the interest within me.

Too bad I can’t pursue some studies of it since it doesn’t seem important to my incoming career as a public servant of the Philippine people. Haha.

Some Screen Caps

While it’s true that I’ve finished the entire Sakura Taisen video releases in anime, I really still can’t get over the missing links on the Sakura Taisen pairings—especially my favorite and the most obvious one: SakuraXOhgami.

Let me share some of the scenes of their first meeting:



 

 

 

 

 

 

These scenes were from the anime. Here’s from the OVAs:

Fridays

There’s this TGIF thingy about Fridays. Before, when I was in Elementary of High school, I do not quite agree with it. Why? Because simply I can’t get to see my friends (Elementary), my crush (High school) and I won’t have allowance (both). But now, I do believe that Fridays could be the best day of the week—especially for someone like me who has a 3-day no class every after Fridays.

A lot of things can be done during Fridays. Usually, my Fridays are reserved for the usual movie dates, whether it be with him or with one or more of my friends. Fridays can also make me go home earlier and spend the rest of the day with my marathons. Fridays can also mean that something should occur later in that day. I do not personally want to elaborate details.

Another thing about Fridays is the usual ending of doramas on TV or some local show. And of course, it’s the air day of one of my favorites on local TV- Bubble Gang. It has always been a ritual for me to watch it, especially the part of “Ang Spoiled” (where Bitoy plays the loser yaya and Ogie gets to play the brat Angelina).

Now that it’s Thursday, it gets me a bit excited for the clock to turn 12 AM later. It only means one thing.

Thank God it’s Friday… already. :D

Hana Yori Dango Final: The Movie

I could still remember the thrill and tears HYD 2 brought me when it had its TV finale- the 11th episode of the second season. This live action series surely brought the heck of fanaticism I had for Meteor Garden and even tripled it. The cast was outstanding, and of course, a Japanese comic book turned to a Japanese drama is just the right match. I do believe that the portrayal of the actors in the series really had the closest link to the original story and cast. It was a success, indeed.

A few months ago, last 2008, TBS finally released its cinematic finale—in the title HYD Final. This has been an intriguing finale for us fans and the like since this is the direct sequel to the wonderful series. A few trailers were watched out, and finally someone uploaded a subbed movie in Yahoo! Video—later on, it was compiled at MySoju.com.

I personally love fansubs release, but to have it solely posted on a streaming site made my watching of HYD the movie almost impossible. I hate streaming. In fact, I rather download that stream videos. For me, any video or film or series that appealed to me should be treasured forever—so in case I wanna watch it all over again, I have instant copy. And it also adds to my archives of past shows. That is why I desperately looked for torrents with subs, but to no avail.

I decided that my wait for it won’t be resolved by searching. And now, I decided to try the streams and watch them. But now, I’m bummed again since it’s LQ and has a low resolution. How I wish someone creates a torrent and sub or if possible, a DVD rip of this film. I know it’s piracy, but hey, who doesn’t turn to it nowadays? I’m pretty sure everyone who is an avid internet user has tried illegal downloading even for once in their net lives.

Same goes for the kapamilya teleseryes I’ve been wanting to have—however, I have the torrents but no seeders. I’ve been uploading to people and I can’t even increase my percentage of Sana Maulit Muli. Aw, it’s too terrible. Good thing, My Girl Pinoy Version has a sole seeder. I tried my best to “call out” to the seeders in iPmart, but no one responds. Last night, there has been one, but sadly it was ended only a few minutes after. My current level now is 1.5%. That is out of the 10 GB something total of the series. I’m so upset about it.

Oh well, here goes my online community. Till later. :D
