Tokyo Marble Chocolate

Aww... Another swoon-worthy anime all otakus would love...

There are only two episodes. Actually, it's an OVA. But it's pretty cool. Really.

Basically, it's a little love story between Chizuru and Yuudai. During their previous love lives, the two of them had been unlucky in finding that "perfect" partner. Now, the two of them are dating... So... What'll happen?.. Only one way to find out~

What makes it good is that the story is told in two perspectives: the girl's and the boy's. I greatly recommed the boy's perspective since, for me, it's cuter and more romantic. And, oh, there's also a mini-donkey in it~

Frankly, it has no connection to marbles nor chocolate but it's sweet and really smooth story line will have you wanting for more... :D

New book - Mistress Pat by L.M. Montgomery

Finally~ I've found the sequel for Pat of Silver Bush! Same as always, found it in Booksale for only 60 pesos. That's pretty cheap, actually... Anyway, Pat is twenty and Hilary... Well, I haven't read it yet but I'll give it a shot tomorrow. See you till then~

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora ~looking at the half moon in the sky~

Bring on tissues! This six-episode anime will make you laugh, fall in love, and break your heart as you watch Yuuichi and Rika's love story...

Anyway, this is one cool anime. It also has a live-action series... So far, I've only watched the live-action series (haven't finished it yet). Can't watch the anime 'cause the links don't work... An anime magazine introduced it to us and it's really good. I recommend for those who have grown tired of waiting for new Naruto or Bleach episodes every week and wants to try something new. It's simple but the message is strong.

See ya~

Gundam 00 Season 2

(ooh... Would you look at them? All grown up and over 20... So cute...)
The much awaited Season 2 is still two months away and I'm already dying... with joy. Mizushima-san says that there's a "new" Lockon. (Yay!) Though it's no longer the beloved Neil Dylandy, I'm sure that it's going to be his twin brobro Lyle Dylandy. Go on boy and do your thang! Avenge your bro like craziiee! Kill 'em! Shoot 'em and chop them!!! Bwahahahahaha! Oops... Sorry for that. Anyway, the Tieria Erde look-alike in the credits of Episode 25 was someone (is it a he or a she? That person is so cute you'd never know...) named Regene Regette. I have a strong feeling it's Tieria. You know... 'Cause he has this special thing with Lockon (and no, it's not YAOI) and he might want to get the same hairstyle or something (Idolatry, Regene?). Next up is that Setsuna, Allelujah, and Tieria will be back, with the Celestial Being team of course (although Lichty, Chris, and the doc are goners). There's also a new character whose name starts with the letter M (was it Milaine or something?). She's the 14-year old daughter of Ian Vashti, the engineer. Lasse Aeon is back~!! And so is Felt Grace (some spell her name Feldt... is that a silent D?)~!! I hope Sumeragi is back too... But... There's... That pesky, lil brat who kissed Setsuna (Marina-chan!!!!!): Nena Trinity. Why didn't she just explode like her brobros did? Ooh... Libbonze Almanck (Ribbons Armanck to others) is back with some peeps who are like him... And he calls himself the Innovator. The three world powers are also united (Tribulation, anyone?). And, oh... The trademark masked man is back! Introducing... (I really think it's him because of the hair) Graham Acre~~~!! Yay~ Where's Billy? Hmm... The 2nd trailer for Season 2 is nice and cute... Very cute... Maybe too cute... :D

The only thing I didn't like about it is that there's this four year gap and that's pretty long. Like... Lockon (or Lyle...) was 24 years old in the first season and now he's 28!!! That is soooo old... Setsuna is 21. Allelujah is 24. Tieria is... well... Unknown. Sumeragi is over 30... Bah... They're soooo old. Haha... I wonder what happened to Marina Ismail...

That's all for now. Toodles.

Oh, and one more thing. UVERworld might sing the OST for Season 2. That is sooo nice! Their hits include Colors of the Heart (Blood+) and D-technolife (Bleach).!!

Now... Au revoir!

Chapel Service

I liked our chapel service this morning. It was nice and I felt that the Spirit of God was really there and was hovering over us. There was this different feeling that you can't describe and it's just so good like you don't want to stop. It's just so exciting and I wish that every Friday was just like that. :D

T-R-O-U-B-L-E-S-O-M-E

Grr... How come boys are soooo troublesome? [No, Shikamaru... Don't worry you're not included.] Of course, not all boys are [with the obvious exception of my anime crushes, Alexandru Bodnar, Japanese actors, and my relatives]... I meant some of the boys in my class. They're not gentlemen and are not very refined. How could some girls ever learn to love them? They spell trouble with a capital T. Why, you ask? When my friends and I are laughing hard [because of some reason their stupid brains will never understand], they keep on reprimanding us while when they're noisy we don't care about them and just shut up in one corner and try to read books [which we can't focus on because of their noise]! Plus they always ask us why they're the only ones who clean. We always answer them back by saying that they're the only ones who trash the room like crazy while we just sit on our chairs studying. Then they begin to sneer at us and mutter... But it's true! Them stupid creatures... I've always wanted to say something to them... I'm only restraining myself. Gah... Hope I get the chance to tell them someday...

Oh well... Boys are troublesome.

Bob Ong

Wow... This author is incredible. He writes in an informal way but addresses serious issues like corruption and seriously wrong subtitles. So far, he's my favorite Filipino author.

Actually, I've never really gotten that urge to read Tagalog books. I've grown up thinking that the only existing Tagalog books are those thin erotic books where the cover consists mostly of a woman and a man together. Yes, Pinoy love stories. I thought they were the only Tagalog books. But when my best friend introduced Bob Ong's books to me, I was simply flabbergasted. They were Tagalog and... They were hilarious! Something of a rare find. To me.

The first BO book I read was ABNKKBSNPLko!?. That's when I became enthralled with BO's style of writing. Simple. Cute. Funny. Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas was second. Bakit Baliktad Magbasa Ng Libro Ang Mga Pilipino? followed just a few days later and, most recently, Stainless Longganisa. All the books I've read were hilarious but were brimming with sense that nobody but a self-proclaimed "Bobong Pinoy" with an IQ of 135 (or possibly higher) and believes that the evolution of language came from sundot-kulangot could think of. Bob Ong is simply amazing.

He may not that famous now but I know someday he will be. I'll keep hoping that he will because all the Filipinos just have to know what Bob Ong has to say.
