Ramon Bautista Learns Japanese :D

My last entry before I go back to Cavite :)

I was supposed to check my LJ account when I noticed this ad posted on LJ's homepage. I noticed it was Ramon Bautista -- and to my shock, he's wearing an Arashi shirt! (Hmmm. He should have worn our JohnnyNoDepato's Arashi shirt. We have an extra. Hahaha.)

WATCH IT! SWEAR!
(And learn with him. HAHAHA)



I almost died laughing. :))

Electric fan. Senpuki.
ELECTRIC FAN. SENPUKI.
ELEEEECTRIC FAAAAN!!! SENPUKIIIII!!!

100th Post Special! :D Part 1!

Yay for my 1ooth post! Honestly, this is the reason why I haven't been updating this blog since May 6-- I need to make this post a little bit special. Well, yeah. But I was also busy with school. Who would have thought that this 6 weeks of summer would almost feel like a whole semester to me? The workload for Stat!! Aah.. Good thing it's all over now. Hahaha.

Back to the topic. Maybe I should discuss some of the animes, dramas and mangas I have seen for these past few weeks. (Haha! How could this be any special? This will just be a one long review).


ANIME

Vampire Knight Guilty
I have finally seen Vampire Knight Guilty! I stopped reading the manga until that chapter when Kaname was revealed to be Yuuki's brother. But hey, I like Zero-Yuuki more that's why I got kinda annoyed that Season 2 ended up with Kaname and Yuuki leaving the school together. And what's up with Zero's "One day I'll kill you?!" And Yuuki's "I'll be waiting?!" It's kilig but...argh!! Should it end that way!? I want them together please!!! Season 3 come out!!!

Code Geass 1 & 2
This is actually the first Mecha anime I liked and watched other than Voltez V and Daimos?. Hehe. This anime caught my attention when a television station in the Philippines started airing it. It's really political but interesting. I like the ironies used -- a Britannian prince fighting against Britain using Japanese armies (Lelouch/Zero) and a Japanese elite who chose to be an honorary Britannian citizen to serve the Britannian army (Suzaku). Best friends turned worst enemies turned best friends again = weird. Of course I hated Suzaku all throughout the series! AND I HATED THE ENDING. I know Zero should really die because of all his sins and such but...it's really sad for him to die like that! All he wanted is a peaceful world for his sister (who'll be brainwashed to become his enemy) and to avenge the that of his mother (who'll turn out to be alive). Kind of stupid, but take those factors out, it is really good. I like him, even his evilness. :)

Lovely Complex
One of the most kilig anime ever. I watched this after a major depression after taking a 3-hr Statistics exam. I should definitely watch the live action. Teppei as Ootani will be sooo adorable.

Other Anime (I have seen over the summer)
Special A, Midori no Hibi, Clannad, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya


MANGA
I am currently reading (on-going):

Ai wo Utau Yori Ore Ni Oborero
This is my first gender-bender manga series. Well I have read a few gender-bender one shots before but not as hardcore as this one. When I say hardcore, I'm referring to how the characters here look like. Akira (the guy) is just too girly for a man while Mizuki (the girl) is just too pretty boy-looking. But since I'm used to seeing bishounens, sometimes I feel like I'm reading a yaoi manga in disguise while reading this series. Hahaha. I just couldn't see Mizuki as a girl. Give it a try, it's a pretty good read. :)

Akira x Mizuki = NOT yaoi

Kaichou wa Maid-sama
Arguably my current source of 'moe moe power.' This is sooo kilig that it leaves me breathless (without any element of exaggeration). Hahaha.

Haha. Not yaoi. She just cross-dressed in this chapter. :)

La Corda D'Oro
Because I've already seen the first season of the anime and couldn't wait until the next season, I have decided to try reading the manga. Now the story is in progress but why does Len have to leave?! Would he really leave? Oh no, please don't. HinoxLen is like my favorite pairing in this series! (And I'm developing a major crush on Tsukimori! Ooops. But Tamahome of FY is still my ichiban. LOL)

Rivals turned lovers will always be loved :D

My Barbaric Girlfriend
Another gender-bender wherein a girly boy and a manly girl swapped bodies accidentally. The boy became manly (with the manly girl inside his body) while the girl became girly (with the girly boy inside his body). But this is much weird since both characters entered into guy-to-guy and girl-to-girl relationships (of course not with their own bodies, making it look like a normal relationship). It's like a yaoi and yuri in heart, hidden physically with those bodies. What makes it more weird is that their bf and gf are their best friends when they are still normal!

Main characters of this weird series. :D

Special A

I'm also reading the manga right now. Amazingly much better and much 'moe' than the anime. :D I like the original looks of Takishima and Hikari here! Hmm.. I'll make a separate post on this once I've finished all the 99 chapters.

Would die for this Takishima.

Re-reading Moe Kare :D

Arata.Hikari.Takara
Bwahaha. Arata won the poll. ;p
Even Ikeyamada-sensei never thought of it.

One of my favorite mangas ever! Actually, this is the second time I've read it. I've re-read all 35 chapters :) OMG. Reading it for the second time is just like reading it for the first time!! It basically had the same effect on me. ARATA FOREVER!!!

Okay, if you plan to read this manga then atleast be open-minded. You might get offended with Ikeyamada-sensei's ecchi style. However, it's bearable -- not the super yucky ecchi type. It's actually more smut-type than mature-type :)

In the right is Arata, in the left is Takara.
They do have different eye colors (notice that Arata's are blue). :D

*Spoilers alert*

What I love about about this manga is Arata's cute way of loving Hikaru. He's really rude and annoying but surprisingly sweet. HE REALLY LOVES HER. The ending was the best that could ever happen. If Hikaru ended up with a jerk like Takara (leaving her just like that and then suddenly returning saying that he regrets everything?! Go to hell.), then it would be a total waste to read this. Sorry Takara fans, he's sweet but Arata loves Hikaru the most. :))

Obviously I'm a Hikaru-Arata fan, therefore I'm kinda 'bitin' how the story progressed between them. I mean, it was Hikaru-Takara for almost 2/3 of the story!! And count the kisses and moe moments between them and compare them to HikArata's kisses and moments? (So few!! But hey! They ended up together! A perfect ending and conclusion! What else could I wish for?) :)

Some of my favorite Moe Kare moments..
(I have a lot but I will only have to post 3 here :D)

This is when Hikaru realized how fun it is to be with Arata (awww...)

Arata covers Hikaru's eyes to hide her tears.
*MOE*

Every girls dream line from a guy. (Waaah!)

I LOVE YOU, IKEYAMADA GO-SENSEI! One of my favorite mangakas eveeer~ Hahaha!

The Keiichiro Bday Post :D

I'm late!! :( It's already the 5th of May and Kei's birthday was actually last May 1. (I was in Zambales for a family outing so I wasn't able to get online at all for 5 days until now).

Anyway, it feels like I have missed A LOT!! As in seriously, what happened?? Guestings and talk shows (that I should download soon) are now overloading! OMG. I'm so excited about the latest News wo Abake!!! (The past 2 abakes have always been my favorite! Hehehe.)

***
So let's see what I have here for Keiichiro...
Okay, 3 pictures that will describe why I love this Koyamama. Hey! Being my least favorite member in NEWS doesn't mean I hate him! NOT AT ALL! :D


He is not KEIICHIRO KOYAMA if he isn't this funny.



Ohhh..Adorable ;)

I told you Keiichi is a girl!!!
Happy birthday Kei-chan!!! :D
(I have a weird fascination over his name. Keiichiro, Keiichi, Keichi, Kei...I even named my nephew after him right? Hahaha!)
