   I actually forgot about writing a post... ^_^;;
Hehe... yeah... ^_^;; (Oh, and just a heads up, I might be posting later than usual now. I'll be visiting sites first before I post. ^_^ Unless otherwise noted.)

Anyway, let's move on to today. Nothing really incredible happened, same old stuff, but the fact that school's about to end, just gave me it's first shock. At the start of this month, all I could think about was what to do when summer vacation rolls around, but now, seeing the school empty itself, I'm getting this awkward feeling of... something. I don't really know what it is, but it's there. Definitely. ^_^;;

Now about that emptying itself thing, what I meant was that the school's preparing for the end of the year already. Books are being returned here and there, posters and flyers that once filled our hallways are taken down, and everything that used to make the school seem so lively is gone. I just noticed it today, as I was walking down the halls on my way outside. It feels... weird. ^_^

There's surely excitement, and a great longing, but now, I can feel that sort of loosened grip that you're about to get once you leave. I may be being overdramatic, but that's how I truly feel. ^_^ I guess you can say, I'm just caught up in all the emotion.

*sigh* Forget it. I'm not going to think about that anymore. I love all the plus sides of summer vacation, and this just wouldn't count as a positive. ^^;; Thank you for reading all the way down here, by the way. All I said up there were mumbled thoughts in my head. If that was ever possible. ^^

Well, that's it for me. ^_^ Take care, minna! Have a good day too! Oh, and about the pic I posted yesterday, that oekaki was actually of Kenny from South Park. ^.^ When I figured out who it was, I just squealed in delight! It was so adorable! ^^ Oh, and before I forget, here's the pic! ^_^

[2001] X - TV Series! One of CLAMP's most popular work! ^_^ I can probably say X has one of the deepest story plots Clamp has placed in their work. The art, no doubtedly, is as amazing as ever, and I'm sure the animation was no exception. ^_^ So, is it justifiable to say this was an excellent show? I hope so.
Thanks for reading! Ja ne!

   Subject, subject...I can't think of a subject...
That subject was used already. I typed the letter "S" and there came a whole scroll-down list of past subjects I used... lol. ^_^

What a day! ^_^ I'm really glad today went well too. I had so much fun!

Okay, let's start it off with this morning. It was sad, because my mom left for Vegas. She's going to stay there until Thursday, and I'll miss her so much! ^_^ I know it's only 3 days, but that'll be the longest time she's going to be away from us. But I'm okay with it, she's there for some business thing, I think. ^_^;;

Anyway, when I got to school, things were quite dull, but thanks to the guy I tutor at math, who's very good at cheering people up, he brightened my day a bit. ^_^ He comes up with the funniest stuff. So, English went by fast, and it was a blast!

Oh, and in History, my teacher invited me and 5 other people to the Student-Teacher Luncheon. That's going to be cool! ^_^ Free lunch after all.

The rest of my day went better than expected, so I have no complaints. And I found out that my two friends, whom I mentioned yesterday, have patched things up now. ^_^ Yay!

Hehe, and the best part was, this whole day was short! School ended 2 hours earlier today! ^_^ And I don't have homework!

Cool! I just realized all of that! ^_^ Haha. How exciting! Well, that'll be all. Take care minna! Have an awesome day! Here's the pic! ^^

Guess who it is! ^_^ My sister found this oekaki at some board, I forgot what it was, but when I saw the caption for it... *dreamy sigh* It's so adorable!! ^___^
[EDIT:] I'm sorry you guys. I won't be able to visit all the sites today. I have some stuff that needs to be taken care of now. ^_^;; I only got to those who commented yesterday, but I will make up for this. Thanks for understanding, and again, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, and I apologize to those who have signed my gbook in the last 3 days. I have been lacking time lately, but I promise I'll get to you guys soon. ^_^

Thanks for reading! Ja ne!

   Monday! ^_^ < -- You can tell I can't think of any subjects today...
(Big thanks to the people who commented on my last post! ^_^ *huggles* I really appreciate it.)

Anyway, my Monday was great! ^_^ I love days that rock, and considering the fact that it WAS a Monday, I'm very happy. Everything started off well, even though I woke up late. ^^;; Nothing interesting, but it was still something.

English class was hilarious! We were watching a movie about America in the 1850s, and um, it got to a part where some guy was going to attack another guy. And right at that scene, it so happens that we were quiet, my teacher screamed! ^_^;; Haha, she scared me half to death! Now, it wasn't those sudden "Ah!" bursts, it was a loud shriek! My heart probably skipped a beat. ^_^ *sigh*

Heh. The rest of my classes weren't as exciting as that, but it was nice. Had a few laughs here and there, and just basically having fun. ^^ Although, Math class was the worst today. It wasn't that serious, it was fun at the start, but then my friend cried because the teacher wouldn't accept her make up works. I felt really bad for her. And I found out that she and another friend of mine weren't at good terms with each other. So that made me feel even more sad. *sigh* I just hope everything ends up for the best...

Okay, well, that's all. ^_^ Don't worry about that last bit. I'm sure they'll be able to work things out. They are friends after all. I hope you guys had a wonderful start of the week! Take care! ^_^ Have a nice day! *huggles* Here's the pic!

I couldn't find any new anime to review, so here's a fan art pic from Sandara.net. Hope it makes up for not having the review. ^_^

   Nice End...
Ahehehe, sorry. I may have gotten too carried away with my ranting yesterday. ^_^;; Oh, and for the record, I'm not saying I hate this anime, in fact, I love it! Groove Adventure RAVE (the real title), is in my top favorite anime list. It's there because it's an amazing show. What I do hate is Rave Master (dubbed version), for reasons stated in my last post. If you guys saw the original version, you'd be really disappointed with what they did to it.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun today. ^_^ I actually woke up early, about 7 am, but the thing is, I slept at around 4 am. So I said to myself, "Whoa, 3 hours..." In a groggy tone. ^_^ Then I lazily went to the living room and slept on the couch. Heh. Guess I couldn't take it. I finally woke up around 10:50 in time for church.

After that, my mom decided to go out and eat. It was good, considering I was having funny conversations with my parents. ^_^ Yep. And I got to buy Tsubasa today! Yay! I finally have it. And it's as enjoyable as ever! ^^

I also had a chance to just hang out with my dad. It was great! I saw monitors falling over, we were at a computer store, but still worked like new. ^^ That was cool. And I got to see some awesome PDAs. Hehe, I might consider asking for one on my birthday. ^_^

Oh, and I can't forget the best part of my Sunday, I finally finished my History project!! ^__^ w00t! No more stuff to worry about. But that's why I couldn't get on today. Sorry...

Well, that's all for today. *looks at post* Wow, that was lame... ^_^;; Heh, gomen. I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend! Take care! Have an awesome week ahead! ^_^ *huggles everyone* Here's the pic!

I don't think I've posted a pic of Fye and Kurogane, so here! ^_^ These two are unbelievable funny together!
Thanks for reading! Ja ne!

   ARGH!!!
Before I get into ranting, I would like to say that besides watching Rave Master, my whole day was great. Not entirely that exciting for a Saturday, but good nonetheless. I did my History project right after I logged out this morning. ^_^ That's all I did up until 8 pm today. It was hard for the most part, but it's mainly because I procrastinated that I didn't finish it. ^^;; Yes, yes, I know. I'll work hard on it tomorrow! I promise! ^_^

Argh, another thing that bummed my weekend was finding out Saiyuki RELOAD, Gunslinger Girl, and a bunch of other good anime were licensed already. T_T That's so unfair. I had planned to have a wonderful summer break with those anime, and I find out they're not there anymore. *sigh* Such awful timing, I tell you. The times are against me... -_-;;
*Note: I know Saiyuki was licensed about a month ago, but I just found out today. ^^;;

Anyway, let's get ranty, shall we?

Let's see, to sum up everything I'll be saying about Rave Master, it'll take 3 words. I HATE IT!! >_<

Not only did Tokyopop fail to make this anime as amazing as it should be, they made it into an incredibly stupid show. Gah, the first bad change they made was the opening sequence, I did not like the song one bit! >_< They could have stuck with, at least, the video, but no, they have to change every single bit of it! Grr... The dubbing wasn't that poorly done, but gosh, they could have chosen a better cast! >.>

They also showed so much "spoilers" for the upcoming episodes. They shouldn't have added it, part of RAVE's charm is its surprising twists and turns! That's what makes it fun to watch! *deep sigh* I was very, very disappointed. I really thought they'd do a great job on it. The whole series contains a lot of English words, they didn't have to change it. To those who watched the show, the whole "Rave-o-lution" thing when Haru takes out his sword, it wasn't really supposed to be lame. He originally says "Explosion" because that's the name of the sword. *sigh* That was acceptable, why change it?

But I am glad about one thing, they left the names as it should be and they pronounced it correctly. ^_^ That's probably the only positive side I can get off of it. Rave Master wasn't what I expected it to be, I can't believe it...

*sighs again* Okay, I'm done for the day. ^_^ I'm glad I got that out. I needed it. I was really upset because of the whole thing. Heh. Thanks for the space, I appreciate it. ^^ *huggles everyone* Oh, and I apologize for not coming to some of the sites today. I came this morning, but didn't get a chance to come back until 9 pm, so of course, with the whole 3 hours thing, it'll appear I commented on the 13th. ^_^;;

Well, take care, minna! I hope you had a fun Saturday! ^^ Have a great end of the weekend / continuation of the summer break!! Here's the pic! ^_^

I love Haru's big smiles. ^_^

   Fairly Fun Friday...
Aww... thank you to the otakus who commented yesterday. ^_^ *huggles tightly* That meant so much.

*sigh* I'm so glad it's the weekend now. I've been waiting for it ever since Monday, and the week went on as slow as it could, so it really is awesome. ^_^

My Friday went fairly well. It started okay but went downhill a bit after History. I had cleared all my debts in school, and was supposed to go to the Assistant Principal's office to officially clear everything, but the volunteer girl who was guarding the door to the building was so annoying! She said my library pass was expired already even though it says June 30th in it, and she wouldn't let me inside making all sorts of excuses. >.< Gah, who is she kidding? It was recess and she said the assistant principal was out to lunch!

(Sorry for complaining. ^_^;; I was really upset at the time.) And PE didn't make it the least bit brighter either. I got stuck playing kickball with little kids who did nothing but stand and stare at the ball when it was coming to them. *sigh* ^_^;;

Anyway, after that everything went better. I had fun at Art class, an enjoyable Math class, and a funny Science one. ^_^ We were quietly playing charades after doing our work at the time. Hehe... ^^

Well, that was my day. It was enjoyable, but I can do without the attitude. ^_^ Oh, and when I got home, I got to catch Akira. It was so gory! O_o Oh, and I also found out that Hige's voice actor played Tetsuo from Akira too. ^_^ Hehe...

Okie, take care now! Have a good weekend! ^_^ *huggles* Here's the pic!

[2004] Kenran Butou Sai! I actually got a new anime to review! ^_^ Cool! Hm, I don't have much information about its plot, but I do know the art is simply superb. Definitely a 2004 piece of magnificent work. ^_^ It is produced by BONES, the very people who gave the Cowboy Bebop movie and the writer of the ever wonderful Wolf's Rain. Heh, that's why I saw a resemblance... ^_~ Pretty cool, ne? I also saw another 2004 release by BONES called Kurau Phantom Memory. It looked awesome! ^_^ Can't wait to see that too!

   Will I survive the next 2 weeks? That is the question!
*sigh* I am stressed! It's been crazy all week, and I'm just glad the weekend's almost here. I need so much time to sleep in and rest. ^_^

I couldn't get to anyone's sites today because I had too much homework. An essay for History, a Math homework that had a topic we didn't even discuss yet, and my speech for graduation. But I can't say for sure it's ending there. ^_^ *sigh* I need a break. 3 straight hours of thinking must've pulled the plug on my brain. That's why this post will be lifeless, to say the least. ^_^

School today was as hectic as ever. Finding out I had so much to do in so little time made me panic a bit. ^_^;; I felt a little down too, for who knows what reason. I just didn't feel like moving. Note: This was before PE, before the mile run.

With that said, I really thought I wasn't going to be able to run before the time limit. ^_^;; Surprisingly, I made it a minute and 15 seconds before time was up. Yay! I was so tired afterwards, though. ^_^ I usually walked parts of the track, but today I ran every lap. My legs were hurting so much and I could barely stand when we were about to leave. ^^ Heh...

Okay, well, that's everything today. Thanks for all the comments, minna! I really appreciate them. ^_^ (Haha, Trish, I liked Shimbo better too! ^_^) Take care now! Have a good day! *huggles everyone* Oh, sorry, no pic today... ^_^;;

   A little weirdness....
Note: Sorry to some people whom I didn't visit yesterday. I only got around to those who commented, and I pretty much had a busy night.

Anyway, school was okay today. English was so boring though, I kept slapping myself lightly just to wake up. ^_^;; History was weird. We waited outside for about 30 minutes because there was no sub for us today. Then my homeroom teacher came and she subbed for us. That wasn't at all interesting too. *sigh*

But PE was so fun! ^_^ We played Team Handball for the first time. It's a cool game, once you got the hang of it. I can't wait to play it again! ^^ Sadly, it'll have to wait until next week. *sigh* Oh, and mile run tomorrow... meh... >_<

Arts all the way to Science was normal, well, somewhat. During my science class, this guy intentionally bumped his head on one of the shelves. O_o That was so freaky, I mean, why in the world would you do that?! After doing so, he was walking all wobly and unstable, sort of unable to balance. He even fell on the floor! But he still stood up. He then took out those medicine containers, the orangey-yellow ones, and threw the pills all over his face. I don't know if he ate them or what, but that was creepy. O_O

The sub was probably confused at what happened, so he just sent him to another class. I don't blame him, you'd be surprised to find a kid hitting himself and acting like a drunk, right? *sigh* I don't know what's up with my school. I had my fair shares of weirdness, but this was the worst one yet.

So yeah, that's my day. It ended in the most bizarre way, but it was still good. ^_^;;

Well, that's about it. Take care minna! Have a good day! ^_^ Here's the pic!

[EDIT:] I didn't get to all of the sites again today, I'll try tomorrow, but if schedules still keep me busy I can probably only have enough time for those who commented. I'm terribly sorry for this, but the pressure's on right now. I actually have a lot of things to clear up at school. ^_^;; I'm stressing whether to give the graduation speech a try and if I'll go to the field trip and all that stuff, too. I hope its understandable. I'll try to get to everyone's tomorrow since we come out an hour early anyway. ^_^ *hopes*

[1997] Haunted Junction! I found this rather amusing. ^_^ The art style reminds me much of Ranma 1/2 with a little something. Very nice. The story focuses on three students maintaining the balance between spirits and humans running around in their school. They have to improve the quality of life for both, all the while thinking of how to do it as they encounter all sorts of ghosts and spirits. A most interesting story line, I must say, and it comes with its humor too. ^_^ Hopefully its as good as it gets.

   Many thanks to such amazing people!! ^__^
Thank you so much, minna. I greatly appreciate everything you said. ^_^ I'm feeling better now, but some things still need to be worked out. I haven't actually talked to my friend yet, I don't know if she's avoiding me or if she's just scared. I'm getting worried. Last night, I couldn't help but think of the consequences she might face because of her decision. It's really making me sad. She's a dear friend of mine, and I don't want her to throw away her future. She's in the 7th grade, by the way, so as you can see, she has a long way to go...

But anyway, I'm really glad you guys are here. I always feel happy when I'm in myO, and just knowing that everyone's there, backing me up, it makes me feel very fortunate to have found such incredible friends. Thank you, so, so much. *huggles everyone tightly* (Sw33tz, don't worry, I'll let go. ^_^)

*relieved sigh* Thanks again! ^_~ Okay, let's move on...

Today was good, nothing interesting, like always, but we did have an assembly during 4th period. And I just realized how jam-packed this month's going to be. There's so much going on! We have an Awards ceremony, a dance, a field trip to Magic Mountain, rehearsals for graduation, and Graduation Day itself! It's crazy! ^_^;; But, of course, add that to the rush of school works and grade deadlines! Aiya... I hope it won't be TOO hectic. I'm going to have to work some stuff out with the school too. Apparently, I still owe them something from my Woodshop class, even though I paid everything already... *sigh* -_-;;

All that in 3 weeks, goodness, I hope I'll survive. ^_^;; But it's all good, at least, after all the craziness, I can enjoy the summer break and relax to my heart's content. ^_^ Enjoy some anime too. Yep, the thought will definitely keep me going. ^^

Oh, and if it's not much to ask and if you have the time, could you come by Clair Chanteur's site. She's one of my most awesome friends back in the Philippines, and I and she will greatly appreciate it. Kailangan ko lang magtanong, naka-on ba yung guestbook mo, Jane? Di ako makasign eh... ^_^;; Thanks minna! *huggles*

Well, that's all for today. ^_^ *huggles everyone again* Arigato! For everything! ^^ Take care now! Have a good day! Here's the pic!

[2002] Rizelmine! It's a romance / comedy genre. ^_^ The story is about Tomonori Iwaki, a third year junior high student, probably leading a normal life. Until one day, he met a girl, Rizeru, waiting for him inside his house. And to his surprise, she was holding their marriage certificate! He, of course, freaked out. So now, he lives his once normal life, with a new-found wife. Heehee, it caught my attention. Seeing as how this is somehow like Ah! My Goddess, and that it also has its humor, I suppose, I really found it interesting. ^_^ The art is no question too, it's cute! I like it! Hopefully the animation and music will rate good as well. Still available on fansub, if anyone's going to look into it. ^_^
Thanks for reading! Ja ne!

Having some problems...
*sigh* I already had a post up, then my site encountered an error or something, and now it's gone. Meh, that's just one of the things I'm dealing with right now...

I'm really sorry for not coming yesterday, and I won't be doing so today, too. I just really need some time to think, because a dear friend of mine is having some problems. And I, personally, want to get involved in it because I have to. Even though I'm not going to make the decisions for her, I need her to see something very important. I really don't want her to waste her entire life because of what she's going through right now.

*sigh* Thank you so much for understanding, minna. You guys are the best, and I just can't find a better way to let you all know how much I love you and appreciate everything you have done for me. Thanks.

I'll try to get back to everyone maybe tonight or tomorrow. I think I can come by to sites of those who commented yesterday, tonight, but I'm not sure.

Once again, I'm sorry, and thank you. *hugs everyone*

Thanks for reading. Ja ne.
