take this test, here's what i got...

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

KANPAI!!!

Yay! Amazingly I passed all my major subjects! Thank God, really, I thought I’m going to fail for the first time of my entire life. Luckily, was able to pull it off! Never mind my NSTP, heck I’m not going to enroll it next semester anyway….now comes my major problem, I learned that most of my subjects for the next semester would be scheduled mid-afternoons. I don’t have to worry about Mondays since it’s my day-off but the remaining weekdays… geez, I have to talk to my boss, I hope she can give me a consideration...

Btw, I met up with the PJWFL people last, and that includes Aish and Chris. Also present were Marge, Ness, Vohnel, Winkei. The original plan was to proceed to Baywalk by late afternoon, which made me really excited because I really wanted to bring them there, unfortunately, we were all time-bounded that we didn’t get to follow the plan. Ness had to go before 6pm while Marge was suddenly called up by her family and had to go soon eventually. Winkei also had to go soonbecause she’s coming from Marikina. So Aish, Chris, Vohnel and I just went to Worlds of Fun and to sing in karaoke booths hehehe. Whew, it’s been so long, 2 years, since I sang with them hahaha,I had fun though it was too bad that I had to go soon too due to work demands. They're pretty much the same old rabid friends and it felt refreshing that I get to go hang out with them with all those stressors I encounter with my working student life hehehe…

GOOD NEWS FOR MIYAZAKI FANS!!!

3 NEW MIYAZAKI WORKS TO SCREEN AT GHIBLI MUSEUM

It's been revealed that director Hayao Miyazaki will present three new animation projects at the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka city on January 23rd. Titles of 2 of the shorts have been revealed. The 1st work to debut is his long planned Kemushi No Boro (Boro the Caterpillar) which was announced at the Tokyo International Film Festival this weekend. The second confirmed animation is Mizugumo Monmon. Each has a running time of about 15 mintues. A wider theatrical release is currently not being planned. It's been known since the beginning of 2005 that Miyazaki was working on storyboards for these shorts. Information on a third and 4th unconfirmed short to possibly screen in the museum have been discussed. One of these is Hoshi wo Katta Hi which was reported to have been talked about by Naohisa Inoue whos says the short will be based on his "Iblard" story. Yet another is said to take place on a river, in a past time when ships were used to transport goods. Official details on the screening are to be announced by Studio Ghibli in November.

Haay, thank God that our pre-ass audit was through. We here at the office took our vacation leave yesterday. We’ve been rendering straight duty last weeks. I can’t believe that I stayed in the office working for straight 25 hours! Well, not really straight, I took a snooze for more than an hour. But it was really a major energy vacuum..


Anyways, I went home to my province (Tanay, Rizal) yesterday and now I feel a little refreshed… and I’ve been really longing for my bed there hehehe, I’ve always say this but I’ll say it again, there’s no place like home… ah...

I have good news, I just learned that Kodansha will animate XXX Holic! Again, I’m so friggin’ excited! But then again, I haven’t even finished watching TRC and here comes another CLAMP series that I’ve been following hehehe. There’s also a bad news though, my Typography is at stake… and I don’t want to tell the details, all I could do is pray *sigh* anyways… it’s been so long that I didn’t talk to Chris through phone, the last time was more than 2 months I think. Also, Aish let me organize the next PJWFL EB this coming Saturday… I’m excited to see them… I miss my friends… I miss hanging out… By the way, I finally had my hair cut, I’ll be posting some new pics soon. I’m bidding goodbye to my hair, so I’m posting one last haggard looking hair hehehe.

It’s 12:25 am and I’m still here in the office. Just finished producing DRRF for QMS documents. I don’t want to bother explaining what are those, they’re not interesting anyway, I just feel good I’ve done my work haay. I’m so tired.

Yesterday, I slept past 1:00 in the morning doing my plates and I woke up before 6 to continue… and I’m so happy I’ve finally submitted my final plates for my 4 major subjects. 2 more to go *sigh* but it felt good being “unloaded”… and that damn boring Typography is a major dilemma for me! I thought I’m gonna die.

We did a face casting, imagine my face plastered! Hay, the first try was a disaster, I think some plaster of Paris entered my ears… gosh if something happens to me as a result of this face cast, I don’t know what I’ll do =’(.

By the way I bought a Sasuke costume, and it’s really cool. I bought it so I can have a “back-up” just in case I don’t get to push through with Subaru (due to lack of time to look for accessories) Damn it costed me P1850… guess I’ll just have to defer buying the Roy Mustang toy =’(…

Jona’s wedding is on November 8, and I heard that I’ll be her maid of honor *ahem* it’s just a rumor, I haven’t confirm it from her… gosh, I think I’m gonna cry on her wedding day… come to think of it, we’ve been together for so long. Starting from college, we took entrance exams together, made it to scholarship together, graduate together, and even work together (in both companies I’ve been!) and we live together in a room we’re renting right now. And it’s been almost 2 weeks that she’s not coming home, she’s staying at her boyfriend’s place… and this time, I really miss her, and I’m sure I’m gonna be missing her…

aww, my hair sucks! I badly need a haircut, next week, it’s a must! And I need to lessen eating!

It’s Sunday but I’m here in the office working, and I haven’t eaten my lunch *sigh* I miss my blonde hair =’( I need a haircut…

Right now I’m listening to the songs of Eraserheads, so many local bands are sprouting nowadays but there’s no one compares to the music of e-heads, AT LEAST FOR ME… it’s too bad they didn’t survive the industry, for whatever personal reasons… listening to their music reminds me of my highschool days, though I could barely count the most vivid ones…at least, their songs wouldn’t remind me of anything that’d make me sad, so I’m indulging myself on it…

Going back to my work, whenever I’d compare my whole day stay at the school versus my whole day stay at the office, I couldn’t help wishing I were a fulltime student. But what am I to do when I’m the one supporting my almost all of my expenses. *sigh* but I’m really tired. Anyway, this was my choice so I shouldn’t rant too much. Besides, sembreak is 2 weeks to go, yay! Speaking of sembreak, I just learned from a highschool friend, that even highschool students are also having a semestral break! Damn, that’s not fair, maybe it’s being practiced in selected schools only, but I never experienced a sembreak during highschool and elementary, only x-mas vacations… speaking of Christmas, 3 months to go and… yay! I’m posting my wishlist for Christmas!!!! Read this, read this!!!

Yikes! One of my office mates brought a gown! And damn they insisted on me wearing the gown. They are just so freaking curious to see me in a “girly mode”. Geez, for Pete’s sake, give the old ladies what they want. Ma’am Len took a pic of me… damn, that is sooo not me! Well, just so they could see something different from me hehehe. I wanted my friends to see me in this kind of outfit sometime too. I’ve been actually planning to cosplay a cute female character in fuku after the Tohma cosplay, but I just couldn’t think of a female character that suits my personality. I’ll have to watch more anime hehehe. So for the moment that I haven’t come up with a shoujo character to cosplay, I’ll push thru with Subaru Sumeragi plans, anyway he’s a gay heheheh… I’m starting to look for accessories already, thru friends and classmates… Haay, i still prefer my bishounen mode hehehe... well, I’ve got less than 2 months to prepare, and sem-break is nearly coming, I should be able to find time to complete my costume (hope so)… Oh by the way, I have finally seen the FFVII Advent Children! Yay! I was really stunned and blown away by the events and fighting scenes! Damn! The best CG film I’ve ever seen! My god, Cloud makes me really drool hehehe… I really felt nostalgic when the characters (Cid, Barret, Yuffie, etc) finally made an appearance! Though the pacing of events were rather fast and some details that I’d want to dig were not really brought up. Like the origins of Kadaj and such… But I’m still satisfied on how things turned out. And it felt good to see Sepiroth again hehehe… okay, I really wouldn’t want to say much about it, I don’t want to end up being a spoiler. A colleague who haven’t played the game, and has no interest on Japanese stuffs, liked the film. Yay! Anyway, bottom line is, it’s a must see for all otakus!

bad news...

hmmm, i just read from a newsgroup (Omake Omake!) that the Japan manga sales had decreased... i'm posting the details here:

----------------------------------------
The Japanese External Trade Organization (JETRO) has published their 2005 Japanese Publishing Industry Report , a follow-up to the 2004 report. Here are some excerpts from the 2005 report.Compared to 2003, manga sales (non-magazine format) in 2004 fell 2.0% to 254.9 billion yen, while sales of manga magazines such as Shounen Jump have fallen 2.3% to 254.9 billion yen. Manga sales have declined 20% since 1994. Shonen Jump, while still the number 1 selling manga anthology in Japan, has a circulation of approximately 3 million copies a week, down from 6 million in 1995.According to Jetro's 2004 numbers manga sales now account for 37% of publications sold (number of copies sold) and 23% of sales (value of copies sold in yen).One reason cited for the decline in manga sales is the increasing number of used manga stores, manga rental shops and manga cafes. Even used copies of manga anthology magazines are available for sale on the street, for a fraction of their original price, only a few days after they are first published.In reaction to the growing manga rental market, an amendment to Japan's copyright law recently was recently made, with the addition of a "lending right." The author's (or his agent/publisher) permission is now required before lending books or magazines (including manga) to the public for profit. Jetro's report, which focuses on 2004, does not state what kind of effect this amendment, which became law on January 1st 2005, has had.Jetro also reports on International sales. The United States accounts for 35.9% of all Japanese publication exports. The Jetro report also gives the first public look at Shonen Jump USA's sales figures. With a circulation of some 350,000 copies per month, the actual sales are around 150,000 copies. This is standard for the North American publishing industry where only one third of all magazines shipped to the newsstand are sold.Taiwan is the second largest consumer of Japanese published material, accounting for 8% of exports. Japanese publishers have licensed manga in 20 to 30 foreign countries.Overall the number of publications (books and magazines) sold in Japan in 2004 fell 1.9% compared to 2003, the 9th consecutive year of decline. Despite the decrease in sales, the number of books and magazines issue in Japan increased somewhat (2.7% and 2.0%), reflecting a market demand for diversification.The number 1 selling book in Japan in 2004 was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, followed by Crying out for Love at the Heart of the World. The movie adaptation of Crying out for Love at the Heart of the World was the number 1 movie at the Japanese box office in 2004, earning $75 million yen. Densha Otoko (Trainman), which was based off an Internet story and spawned 4 manga, a movie and a TV drama, was 17th on the Japanese best seller list for 2004.

haay... weekend has gone and i still havn't watched FFVII:Advent Children and Howl's Moving Castle. I didn't notice the passage of time... of course i was busy doing my assignments. I went home last Saturday but only stayed for a very short period of time. Of course was very happy to see my parents, sisters and of course my anime collection... my videos, toys, mangas, etc... and how it felt so good to sleep in MY bed... whew, there really is no place like home. It felt bad that i had to go back to Manila so soon ='( and on top of that, i rendered duty on Sunday afternoon at the office...

My next coming home would definitely be on the coming semestral break! Weeee!!!

anyways, let's move on to upcomng events, I just want to mention, the CLAMP Northside artbook was really worth buying. I have finally came up on which of Subaru's clothes i would be using for my next cosplay. I felt sad though that my friend Aish would not push through with her cosplay... her J-stuff enthusiasm had reached it's twilight stage and she already explained it to me... i was really looking cosplayng with her and Chris... well, i wouldn't want to insist her with something she's not into anymore... Also, Chris informed me that they'll be having a fahion show tomorrow at SM San Lazaro... Geez, I wanted to see him but i have work... tsk tsk... Haay, i miss my friends...

CLAMPish me!

Yay! I finally got the CLAMP North Side Artbook! I’m so happy! The last time I bought a manga artbook was September 16, 2002—Kaori Yuuki’s “Angel Cage”. It Mainly features Angel Sanctuary, but it also showcased other works of Kaori Yuuki such as Neji, Kaine, etc. I remember that day was also the day sherry and I discovered Comic Central Headquarters. Originally, our destination was “Anima Anime”, but then, exploring the FB Arcade was really worth it. Haay, those were the days… wah! Bottom line is, it’s been 3 years since I bought myself an artbook! Now this CLAMP “North Side” is a compilation of various works of CLAMP from 1989-2002. The book featured Clover, Magic Knight Rayearth, The Legend of Dragon Kings, The Legend of Chun Yang, CLAMP in Wonderland, etc… By the way, I bought the Tokyopop release, therefore it’s in English. Though it has been my preference to buy the Japanese version of manga and artbooks, I didn’t think twice to get the US version because I trust the faithfulness of Tokyopop to the Japanese version. In fact, they were the first (I think) manga publisher in US to adapt the right-to-left book format of manga they publish. And I’ve seen the Jap version of Northside, and I saw almost no difference. And the good thing here is I’ll get to understand the comic inserts and the interview hehehe. I am so satisfied. The Jap version went out in year 2002, while this Tokyopop release went out last January 2005. Anyways, I really can’t get over my excitement… My next prospect is that Roy Mustang figure! Next pay day definitely hehehehe….

On a more serious matter, I really miss my folks at home, tomorrow I’ll go home. I haven’t told my boss that I plan not to come to work tomorrow… I know she’ll understand when I tell her, she’s kind hearted anyway. Actually, I really have no plan of coming home, but then my conscience is killing me. A relative died… The sister-in-law of my grandmother (who also passed away last April) *may their souls rest in peace* and I feel guilty if I can’t even pay a visit. But what really triggered me is that I really missed my folks. Just a while ago, when my mom was asking (thru text) me to come home, that she misses me so much, and she’s asking me if I didn’t want to come home, I just feel the longing to be with them. There’s no place like home after all.

By the way, I also bought a mini-artbook of Vincent Van Gogh. I’m not really a fan of his paintings, but I’m interested with his life, his personality… it’s a common knowledge that Van Gogh had a Psychological disorder and that he committed suicide and I’d like to know more about him and I want to try practicing what I learned as a Psychology graduate assessing an artist through his artworks. Anyhow, Psychology and art has a strong connection but somehow, I still find it hard to see through an artist’s mind by his artworks… anyways… I’m a future artist, comic artist hehehe

Oh my god! Oh my god! I just got my DVD copy of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children!!! And I have already took a peek…. Gosh, I’m having Goosebumps just hearing the opening music!!! Nostalgic mode on!!! My memories of playing the game is coming back and how it feel so good! Gosh, Cloud is sooo handsome! I first saw its trailer more than a year ago and Lord knows I waited real hard for its the completion and release. And how long have I waited, just scanning the video makes me feel it was worth the wait… the graphics were really far more stunning than any CG animation I’ve seen… I can’t wait to see it… this weekend, I will definitely watch it and the Howl’s Moving Castle! Anyway, like I said in my previous post, my anime hype’s real up at the moment! Yeah keep ‘em comin! Oh Cloud-sama *teary eyes*

Damn! It’s been 5 days already and no update?! Well, I’m finally done with my Finals in Materials and Technique I. Damn, my painting sucks… but at least I finally got to produce one… everything starts from the bottom. I’m proud of it in anyway. By the way, my friend Mark helped me with it and my classmate Rhea… they are really cool you know… hmm, what else?

I can’t think anymore because I’m in a hurry, I’ll be taking my ride together with my nurse supervisor friend, Ma’am Len… ahhh it’s been a while since I went home with her and her husband. Last Sunday I dropped by at Comic Odyssey and I’m determined to buy the “CLAMP Northside” Artbook… I’ve seen what's inside and I really can’t get over it… on Friday or Saturday I’ll definitely get it! It’s been 3 years since I bought an artbook… it’s not really fair…

I also saw “Fullmetal Alchemist” action figures in Robinson’s toy department, and I really liked the Roy Mustang figure! Kawaii! It’s sooo him… I must get that also, but maybe on my next payday… Yay! My anime hype’s up again hehehe….

It’s been raining for 3 straight days already… and I’m really feeling sick *coughs* hmm.. I’m at the office right now, my boss is playing in her WM player songs of Michael V, remember those “tagalized” songs that he did… I’m rolling on my stomach hearing the “tagalized” version of “ALWAYS” by Bon Jovi hahaha… anyways, it suddenly reminded me when me and my college (MDC) buddies used to make our “own version” of various songs, mostly nursery rhymes hehehe… oh how I missed those days. I don’t have any classmate right now that I can really hang out with but I’m really trying to mingle with them so I can enjoy my social life in school as I did during my 1st course. Just the other day we were having a chit chat… a lot of them smokes… tsk tsk, so young to start vices… arghh! I hate me, I just feel my pants are getting smaller for me, it’s so hard to control my appetite! Grrr! I only have 2 months till my next cosplay! Gotta work out! I have no further updates as of now but I’ll just share this unforgettable song that my college buddies and I did (pardon for people who are reading this while eating hehehe, most of the songs we edited hehehe…

Three Pork Butts (to the tune of “Three Blind Mice”)
Three pork butts, three pork butts
Smell their stinky fart, smell their stinky fart
It spreads so fast, it kills your nose
Giving you a deadly blow
Three pork butts, three pork butts

*I miss my college days…

Haggard...

Thankfully, my report in History of Arts is over…. Surprisingly my professor appraised me for my report considering I did it on the last minute, I’m not really prepared… well, the advantage of having attended the Trainer’s Training last April hehehe… ah don’t remind me of April… it’s the loneliest month for me for this year… anyways, this past 4 days, I slept for less than 4 hours a day. Work/school/anime/gimmick eats my resting time *sigh* and on top of that, I miss my folks at home… and my anime collection…

Last friday The QM office finally had it’s first TBA (Team Building Activity)! We went to Music 21, Malate Branch. It was really fun. I got to sing some Japanese songs hehehe. I also sang non-Jap songs… how they hated how I sing hehehe I hear boos all over the room. Okay, I admit I’m a lousy singer! What surprised me was my sister came accompanied by a surgeon, former resident of MDH… arghhhh, they were invited by Dr. Gene Chan… I was so deprived of my vices! Of course I can’t show my sister hehehe… I drank 2 bottles of vodka though and I kinda regret it because when I woke up the next day, I’m scratching all over my back! Grrrr! It’s that damn allergy again! I should restrain myself from drinking alcohol… but these events happen once in a blue moon so I guess it’s just okay. Besides, vodka really suits my taste among any other alcohol. Hey, update update! I just got my DVD copy of “Howl’s Moving Castle”! Waaiii! Ureshii! Though I don’t have time to watch it for now. Well, I swear when I’m done submitting my urgent plates, I lent it to my, ahem, “sensei” in Freehand Drawing and he liked it! Weee, if a non-anime fan liked it, it must be really good! Can’t wait to watch it! Hey, I just learned that Hayao Miyazaki-sama received a Golden Lion awrd by Venice Film Fest… I haven’t read the details but I’m sooo proud of him! He really is a tensai! Way to go!

hisashiburi desu ne...

Okay, it seems nobody reads my blog anymore… should I close it now? I had little time to update it anyway… it’s been very hectic in school and work, arghhhh… should I give up one now? Naahh! Too early… For the coming days, we’ll (QM Staff) be going out. Dr. Hogar will be treating us for a gimmick on Friday night and I’m suggesting that it’ll be on Eastwood! Yay! Also, Dr. Gene Chan will be treating us in Basilica (a stand-up comedy Bar in Malate) one of these days! Yeah! So many gimmicks in the line hehehe... still I shouldn’t be so happy, I still have many requirements (LATE!) to submit and I’m desperately hoping that I won’t fail any of my subjects *crosses fingers*

By the way, I had my left ankle tattoed (hena)… I’m posting it here hehehe…. My classmate Marky did it! Notice the FMA logo hehehe, yeah!!! Also, the recent pics of me made it look like I’m loosing weight. I am NOT! I don’t know what kind of trick I accidentally did to get that effect hehehe… but I love it nyahahaha…

Last Sunday I attended the Manila International Book Fair at the World Trade. I was surprised to see a booth of the Comic Central Headquarters (CCHQ) and they are selling manga, 50% off! *sigh* I didn’t have any money that time, it feels so depressing, I wanted to get a copy of “Blade of the Imortal” where Anotsu Kagehisa was the cover (I forgot what volume it is)..

Then I went off to Shangri-La and watch Eiga Sai 2005… I only watched Yotsuya Kaidan… It’s an old hooror film… I’m not in the mood to tell what is it all about because honestly, I didn’t like it. It doesn’t seem a horror film to me… well at least I get to experience the ambience of Shang Cineplex hehehe. I still prefer the Greenbelt 3 cinema. Now, I really regret not going to Cinemanila, cinemanga category during this weekend… I was supposed to go there after watching in Shangri-la but I ran out of spare time already hehehe… grrr.. so many things to do but so little time… anybody listening?

I miss Killua =( when will the next installment of HXH out (if there is) anyway? Arghhh… I’m outdated on anime waaahhhh!!!!

By the way, I’m already at episode 7 of Tsubasa Chronicles!!! Now, I can tell, the BGM reminds me of hack.sign! yep, that humming voice… come to think of it, this ‘traveling to different dimensions’ of TRC is very RPG (PS) in nature don’t ya think? Well, I’m just voicing out my opinion… I’m hoping the 3 CLAMP school detectives would make an appearance in TRC anime… oh please don’t disappoint me….

Till next FREE time ^-^x

I'M GEARED!

I finally got a Naruto headgear! I redeemed it from Quantum SM Manila, for 300 tickets! Yeah, I am now a… uhm… genin hehehe… honestly, I know so little of Naruto. I’ve only seen the first 7 episodes and read the pilot manga *sigh* I know this series is really hot among anime fans and I liked it but I just don’t have the time to watch it. Anyways, the headgear is really cool. I wear it in the office every night ever since I got it and my boss and colleagues here really find me weird… well they should get used with me doing weird stuff like this hehehe.

I feel sad, I miss Killua-chan sooooo much! All this time it’s still you... if you only knew what i'm going through...

Anyways, on a happier side, I’m gong to the L`arc~en~ciel Phis. Fans club launching this Sunday and I’m excited to see my friends--Aish and Chris again. I miss them so much! It's been a while that we haven't hang out together.Well I shouldn’t get too excited, I have to constantly remind myself that I have too many requirements in school to complete! Anyway, I’ll make sure I’ll complete them all! Gambarimasu!

Okay, okay i know i GAINED weight... don't remind me... it gets more depressing =`(... but that won't be for long because I had finally decided a character to cosplay... so now i'm motivated to control my apetite! Yay! This cosplay plan should push through or I'll be force to treat Yoji to Teriyaki Boi and order that "limited edition" Kobe beef >.<

Today is my eldest brother's birthday -- Richard! Happy birthday bro! *muah*

till next time, ja ne! (",x)

in the rain

It’s has been rainy for almost a week now… I’m inspired or rather sentimental during these moments. Rain reminds me of so many things. I had a lot of good memories with the rain that I’d rather not tell for I might get too emotional. But during these rainy days… I miss Soujiro! Yes! My Archetype in the anime/mangalandia hehehe. Anyway, it’s a common knowledge that Kenshin is my ultimate favorite character, but Soujiro was actually my first love in RK. I got hooked to RK because of Soujiro. And his persona reflects so much of me! Anyway, I’m at work and I’m really feeling tired. I got home 3:30 am already and I woke up at 8am, so I came late (again) in the office. We finished the band performances, I drank 1½ bottle of Vodka… (*-*)

I ran out of basic supplies so I had to go to supermarket after my work *sigh* I want to go home and sleep sleep sleep!

Anyways, just want to share something i wrote for Soujiro (and me).... the first line is owned by Nobuhiro Watsuki ^-^x

--------------------------------
Fake Smile

In the rain I smiled, but I was really crying
In the crowd I laughed, but I was really hurting
In the night I’m warm, but I was really chilling
In the light I see, but I was really seeking
In the deal I gained, but I was really loosing
In the game I won, but I was only cheating
In the sky I fly, but I’m actually falling
In the work I’m at ease, but I’m always cramming
In my world you are real, but I’m only dreaming
In the battle I survived, but how I wish I’d be dying

hitori desu...

it's friday night... i'm all alone in the office, my colleagues have all left. I'm still here because i'm waiting for my nurse supervisor friend. We're going to Bed Rock, a live band bar. In a few minutes we're goin... I'm quite bored so i decided to download some yaoi doujinshi manga scans hehehe. Bad kid! most of the scanlations i got are Tenipuri... it's really hard to get the story since i've never seen the series. Heck, i'm after the **** stuff anyway hehehe....

Events update

Woah, it’s been a while eh? Ah got some good news! Tons of events coming! Yay!On August 28 will be the Launching of L`arc~en~ciel Philippines Fans Club at Crisanta Towers! Then August 31 to September 4 will be the International Book Fair at the World Trade Center. I’ve never attended a single book fair in my whole damn life! And this time I oblige myself to attend, there are so many titles that I’m looking so… September 4-September 21 will be the Eiga Sai 2005! Now this I must not miss! And for comics fans out there, Komikon will be on October 22 at UP Bahay Ng Alumni. Of course do not forget the UPAME ‘kAME Ulit” Anime Fair at UP Bahay Ng Alumni (again) on November 26. But, uhm, I still couldn’t think of any character to cosplay *sigh* I might pass on this year… besides, I can’t control my appetite, my skin is tanning and I must admit that my bishie-ness is deteriorating (refer to my pic) *sob*….

Anyway, it’s been a really busy week for me. Random events happened, good and bad. In the office, I feel happy that I get to talk for a longer period of time to my former boss, it’s been really a while since we talked… I really like her, she’s like a second mother to me now. And we’re having an Internal Quality Audit till Friday, so very department is really busy. In school, somehow, I could feel that I’m starting to improve my drawing skills, I just hope I’m right… Tomorrow, we’ll be skipping our Typography class for Materials and Technique. Geez, imagine my professor admitted that Typography is not very important, tsk tsk… teachers aren’t suppose to be like that… i'd lik to tell more but i'm on a hurry...

Geez, it’s been a while… well I still find it amazing that I still manage to update my journal. Last August 1 was the last day of sale at Feata Bookstore. I had to benefit from that sale! After all, I pledge to complete the whole set of Ruroken Manga. I bought volume 11, 12, & 13. Yay! 9 tankoubons to go! Ueshii ne! Speaking of manga, I really felt lucky to find English versions of Revolutionary Girl Utena and Ranma ½ at Book Sale! My tip for hungry otakus (and book lovers) out there, search the Book Sale store meticulously, you’ll never know what you’re gonna get. It’s worth a try. Ah, and I was able to buy a book on Tangram, a Chinese Puzzle game. I have a tangram that glows in the dark! And I’m so happy I could play it again. I ad already solved all the shapes in handbook that accompanies the Tangram itself a looooonggg time ago hehehe. Uh, trivia about me, aside from anime videos, manga and toys, I also collected “glow in the dark” stuffs… but I stopped ever since I got hooked to anime hehehe. Anyway, going back, Tangram is fun (at least for me). Waahhh… so many plates to pass…
