Pray for the Philippines

I could have been blogging about the release of the Winter Diamond Party DVD, the 2nd solo single of Yamapi, or his first solo concert..but no. There are lots of things more important than my fandom. Being a Filipino comes first.

I'm linking this blog entry to Jin's blog. After reading her blog, grabe, I was in the verge of tears. No one wanted this. No one expected this. It's just sad that some people don't understand the country's real situation. To those of you who are making fun of other people's misery..screw you guys.

The Mystery of Code Geass' Ending

Code Geass is the first ever mecha anime I've seen (well, don't include Voltes V, Daimos, BTX). I'm not really a rooter for Shounen mechas...but I swear, as soon as I've seen one episode...I realized how awesome it is. I just have to complain here that after almost 5 months, I'm still confused with the ending.

If you want to recall how the story ended, watch the video below.



*SPOILER WARNING*
Did Lelouch really die? It seems he did. When the fake Zero (Suzaku) killed him, it was so dramatic that you'll have no doubt about it. It made me cry, and I'm sure even you did (or at least, you felt like crying inside). But then, that last scene with C.C. just confused me.

C.C. was talking to someone...to Lelouch. Is she talking to Lelouch's soul in heaven (or assuming he's in hell), or that masked carriage driver..who might be Lelouch?

But if Lelouch were alive, the whole dramatization of his life would mean nothing.

Well, it's up for you to decide. I personally don't know. But right now, I'm 60% sure he's not dead...and that he is the carriage driver.

Hoping for a Fast Recovery...

I received this news while I was still out for dinner in this really cool strip of Japanese restaurants called Little Tokyo in Makati. What was supposed to be a really good night turned out to be something I expected the least. A NEWS fan, who appeared to be a past customer from JND, texted me this message telling that Ryo and Pi caught the Swine Flu. Apparently, they got it while taping for NTV's 24 hour TV. I was hoping it's all lies but no. Tokyograph and the jimusho just confirmed it.

I'm really hoping for their fast recovery. I'll really pray for this guys.

Nishikido, Yamapi struck by flu
Tue, September 1, 2009 (5:30am EDT)
Popular idols Ryo Nishikido (24) and Tomohisa Yamashita (24) have reportedly been infected with influenza A, according to a fax sent out by their management on Tuesday. It is said that there is a possibility that they have the H1N1 strain.

Nishikido was diagnosed with the flu on Monday, and Yamashita was diagnosed the following day. Their doctor has instructed them to take a break from work and remain confined to their homes until they recover.

Nishikido currently appears in the TBS drama series "Orthros no Inu." The seventh episode is scheduled to air on Friday, September 4, but some of Nishikido's scenes have still not yet been filmed. As a result, there may be changes to this week's broadcast, and future episodes will depend on his recovery.

HIM. :D

Today, I saw this guy and OMG, dude! I was literally about to scream when I realized I'm in school and not in a convention. So I just gathered all the contents of those emotions with a smile. I think I did smile at everyone, even those whom I don't know. Hehehe. They might have thought I was crazy.

Anyway, he's really cute in person just like in all cosplay pictures he has modeled for. :) He's just wearing normal casual clothes, but his bag was that of a sling bag of your typical Japanese school boy. I'm not putting much details 'cause a little more info might give me an "obsessed fan" image. I AM NOT. I'm just happy I saw him. That's all. ;p

Of course I know who he is, but I'm not putting his name here. The power of search engines might put me in a super embarrassing situation -- considering that we're students of the same school. XD
