Happy Halloween!

Densha Otoko

Stupid me. I never mentioned my username on NaNoWriMo. It's "kiore". So, buddy me, if ever you plan on joining. um. yeah.

I'm watching a new drama called "Densha Otoko" which basically means "Train Man". Apparently this was really popular in Japan because it's a true story.

Summary: A true love story turned to bestselling novel, created from the Internet BBS, 2channel to blockbuster hit movie. Ito Misaki plays Aoyama Saori, working as an office lady at a MNC, gets into trouble with a drunkard on a train. She's saved by Yamada Tsuyoshi, played by Ito Atsushi. As a form of appreciation, she sends him Hermes teacups. Having no experience with the opposite sex, Tsuyoshi decides to ask for help on the Aladdin Channel BBS on how to interact with Saori. (taken from http://wiki.d-addicts.com)

So anyway, there's also this translation project going on of the original 2ch thread (kind of like forums but faster thus somewhat like chat) which you can find here. it's a fun read, kind of confusing but you can probably understand it. it's nice to see how all the people on the channel are helping out the Train Man in his quest for loooooove. :D oh and it stars oguri shun!

Watch it on crunchyroll. Yay. (Honestly, Japan should pay me for all the plugs I've been putting in my blog. But then again, it's not as if people watch the dramas after reading about them in my blog so maybe i'm hoping too much. ;) )

Things

My sister's birthday is on Monday, November 5! Yay!

Finished Gokusen. Such a nice series. :)

Have been preparing for NaNoWriMo. That means I have a plot in my mind. Maybe a good thing, maybe not. I have no idea. I'm just hoping real hard that something solid will result from this. :D

Anyway, song sharing! Yay! The Potential Breakup Song by Aly & AJ. :D

NaNoWriMo

okay, this is something that does not concern japanese guys and dramas of any sort. i know my blog has been filled with that stuff for the past few weeks and it will continue to go that way (i'm sorry) BUT for this post i'm announcing something: i'm joining NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. (Why is it called NaNoWriMo if it's international anyway?)

So, um, actually this is kind of big for me because i've never written anything remotely long enough to be called a novel but i have tons of ideas just swimming around in my head and i can't wait to let them out. and if you must know, writing a novel is one of my biggest dreams which i could probably have finished eons ago had i not been a lazy bum.

anyway i'm posting this here because in the NaNoWriMo introduction email it said:

"Tell everyone you know that you're writing a novel in November. This will pay big dividends in Week Two, when the only thing keeping you from quitting is the fear of looking pathetic in front of all the people who've had to hear about your novel for the past month. Seriously. Email them now about your awesome new book. The looming specter of personal humiliation is a very reliable muse. "

Oh yeah.

You guys want to join? Clickie! And if you're already a participant, add me so we can be noveling buddies! yay!

hm. marami rin palang pinoy na sumali. :D

So um, yeah. i'm done. Good luck and God bless! (to me and to other participants)

hee.

i just realized something and i'm too in shock to not say anything about it.

if you've watched Gokusen, you must remember Minami, one of the members of Sawada and Uchi's (MatsuJun and Oguri Shun) crowd.


Okay, now think Hana Kimi. Who in Hana Kimi looks like that??



Tennouji-sempai! The 1st dorm head... when i realized i was like O.O stupid! why didn't i realize earlier???

you guys don't relate. haha :D

Seishun Amigo (Shuji to Akira)

another feel good song. nothing feels better than listening to japanese pretty boys. haha! actually i feel like i'm the only one who feels good after listening to these "feel good" songs that i post. hmm. oh well, enjoy! :D this is from nobuta wo produce *note to self: must add this to obsessions list*

kakkoi desu!

just finished watching a Korean movie entitled "The Beast and the Beauty". you can watch it on Youtube :) it's a fun movie, but it wasn't perfect, just sweet.

another Korean movie I watched last night "Attack on the Pin-up Boys" which starred this 13 member Korean boyband. it was another fun movie, but it was nothing special. just plain fun.

been watching more Gokusen. and um, wanted to write something about Kamenashi Kazuya (he's there on my obsessions list). I saw him on Nobuta wo Produce and I liked him better than Yamapi who played Akira (in fact I still have no idea what it is with Yamapi which everybody likes... haha, I guess we all have different tastes. Speaking of which, I have weird tastes when it comes to guys... haha) and he's not even drop dead gorgeous, he's just cool and stuff... in Japanese fangirl language, he's "kakkoi". :D

and um, okay, photos time... i dont have a lot of pics of Kame, but here's one i found somewhere :D isnt he cute? >.<

wish

new music! yay! this time, no more hana kimi... haha, i like this song better. :)

it's Wish by ARASHI from Hana Yori Dango (i'm not sure if it's HYD 1 or 2)

enjoy! it's a feel-good song... i was feeling kind of depressed but once i listened to it, i felt better, so maybe you guys will too :)

posting it here in my post so that multiply peeps will be able to enjoy it too :)

changes

took out the "LOVES" section and made it "CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER". it will be changed from time to time. :) also, it is arranged in order, from 1 being really obsessed with, and the higher numbers being less yet still obsessed with.

btw, this is for my blogspot blog only, not my multiply. my multiply has a new layout though. :D

here's some love (dont worry, no more japanese guys ;) )

bored bored bored

my last post was my 313th post... yeah... you know, i was born on march 13? yeah. um. wala lang.

i've been sharing hana kimi love for the past few days... i was burning the series on dvds and giving them away... haha, but not to everyone! just people i thought would appreciate it... :) of course if you want a copy just ask. :)

and um. well basically my life has been very boring. i was watching gokusen earlier because princess hours wasn't working... gokusen is funny, and guess what, it was my uncle who lent it to me... haha never thought he'd be the type... maybe i should lend him hana kimi. hmmmm... oh wait that's a bad idea because hana kimi has topless guys in it. :))

My Sched for the 2nd Sem

click to enlarge na lang... i'm dreading taekwondo... XP

Official Sem Ender

English: I think I'll get a B or B+, not that sure. Or I might get a C+, though I doubt it. Actually, I'm just hoping I won't get a C+... because if that happens being a dean's lister would be impossible. Also, I might get the same teacher next sem. But I'm not happy about that, sorry.

Lit: Sure B+, chance for an A. Reeeeally hoping for an A. I think this is the only subject where I have a chance of getting an A. I really like my lit teacher, but I don't think I'll be getting him next sem. Boo.

Physics: Hay physics. B or B+. OK teacher. Challenging course.

Filipino: No idea. I hope I'll get a B+ though, but my ugly long test score might not make it possible. Once again, hoping for a B+, or even an A. A! A! A! Love the teacher.

Asian History: Surprise, surprise! I get a B+! Was even exempted from the finals... a HUGE surprise, since I was suffering from History. I got a midterm mark of D, but thanks to our amazing play, B+!!! Yes! Fun teacher but really hard... and evil. ;P

Physics Lab: Evil teacher. B+. No other comments.

P.E.: A! Yay! Yayyyyyy!!!

And so...

En11: B = 3 x 3 units = 9
Lit13: B+ = 3.5 x 3 units = 10.5
Ps1: B = 3 x 3 units = 9
Fil11: B+ = 3.5 x 3 units = 10.5
Hi16: B+ = 3.5 x 3 units = 10.5
Ps2: B+ = 3.5 x 1 units = 3.5
PE105: A (not included in QPI or average)

Total: 53 (divided by 16 units) = 3.3125

The requirement for DL is 3.3.

I can't go any lower or I'm dead.

Oh well. At least I'm still in MH. :)


THINGS I LEARNED THIS SEMESTER (aside from classroom stuff)

1. NEVER interrupt a class that is not yours, especially a philosophy class. Philo teachers are evil.
2. NEVER request for free cut, especially if the teacher looks like he's on drugs and you're not the type who makes "sipsip" with teachers.
3. NEVER talk about electric fans in Physics class even if it has something to do with the lesson.
4. NEVER write weird comments when the teacher asks you to evaluate her.
5. NEVER volunteer to talk to teachers for org activities, especially if it is none of your business.
6. NEVER forget to wear your ID, especially when evil spy guards are in sight.
   
7. NEVER join several orgs. You get tired of them eventually. And you waste money. And you get shirts that are too tiny to fit a 3-year old kid, let alone you.
   
8. NEVER skimp on lunch. You'll get hungry after your classes and spend all your money pigging out.
9. NEVER buy a shirt that does not fit you. Especially if it is expensive and you don't have money. (BTW anybody wants to buy a blue Ateneo shirt, female size L, that says "Good things come in blue and white"?)
   
10. NEVER blog about teachers being evil especially if there is a big chance that they'll read your post. But since there is like, 0.01% chance of my teachers reading this, or even remembering me, it's okay. :)

Wow. I learned a lot, huh. :D

Wasting time

I just finished the Japanese dorama (yeah you call it "dorama" because that's how they call it, okay?) "Nobuta wo Produce". Such a sweet drama. About friendship and stuff. And Horikita Maki (Mizuki in Hana Kimi) is in it! I liked Shuji and I didn't really like Akira, but Nobuta was great. I almost cried at the ending >.< I thought it could have had more romance in it, though, but it's great the way it is.

Few days ago (on Sunday, I think) I finished another dorama "Akihabara@Deep". It's about a bunch of otaku (anime geeks, basically) who become "troubleshooters" for their city of Akihabara which is otaku haven (a real place in Japan, apparently). It was a fun drama, with a touching ending. The characters are also fun and very real (in a way. okay, never mind. they're not that real.) but no romance. Boo. I was hoping for romance between them. >:P I watched this because of Ikuta Toma, who plays Box. >.<

Now I think I'm gonna watch Princess Hours aka Goong, which is by the way, Korean and not Japanese. As if you didn't know that. And then I have to watch the anime dvds my friend lent me because it has been months since I borrowed it. Same goes for Goong, I also borrowed it a long long time ago. Haha, oh well. I also have this Korean drama I bought which I haven't even watched yet... and the books. Don't get me started on the books.

This is going to a very long sem break indeed.

I know I said it'll be awhile before my next post, but i've been around (the internet) and i feel like sharing a bit.

Okay, so if you must know i've really been collecting pictures of Ikuta Toma. I never collect pictures, not even of Wu Zun (who i'm getting kind of sick of... but still I wished him a happy birthday! (getting defensive)) but Toma is just so lovable and all, thus I present to you pics of Toma! :D (not too much though since you guys aren't as obsessed as I am... i'll just wallow in my folder of toma goodness on my own later...)

part 1 pa lang yan! part 2 will come soon!!! :D

krizia, this is for you!

today is Blog Action Day and we're supposed to blog about the environment! yay!

and so i just want to say GUYS! Don't turn on the aircon if you don't need it! take the LRT or walk or take a sidecar instead of taking tricycle or riding in cars or jeepneys. Oh geez, jeepneys. they're the worst contributor of greenhouse gases (aha physics!) to the atmosphere... and BUSES. and if your car also emits lots of smoke that means you're killing the world sloooowly.

anyway, you guys can join BLOG ACTION DAY too if you want. although, you know, it's today so it's kind of late i guess... oh well. next year na lang. or it's late. i don't think it matters. actually i really don't know how it works. baka di naman ako pwede maging kasali kasi ang worthless ng environment post ko which is that previous paragraph over there.

ANYWAY forget that... moving on.

the other day i went to megamall with my blockmates, yay! :D we went ice skating... ooooh.... then we went to see "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" which is an ok movie. if you aren't sensitive or conservative or anything like that then go watch it. it's fun. yay.

then on saturday afternoon, the very nice person who is me did not go visit Isen (who had dengue but is ok now i think and is no longer in the hospital) but instead went to SM San Lazaro with Ja and Ana. yeah.... i'm the worst person ever.

now the guilt is stabbing me. guilt guilt guilt. stab stab stab. i still have his lock with me. aw geez.

i'm done. expect the next post to be far far away. sorry.

吳尊 生日快樂!

i'm watching dora the explora! yay!

it's best friends day! yay! and dora has to go to rainbow rock to meet boots! yay!

but dora has to go through the GATE to get to RAINBOW ROCK!

say it with me... GATE, RAINBOW ROCK!

boots on the other hand has to go through the CRABS to get to RAINBOW ROCK!

say it with me! CRABS, RAINBOW ROCK!

Oh no! The gate's best friend, the key, is about to be swiped by swiper the thief weasel thingy. SWIPER NO SWIPING!

yay! the gate has his best friend back! yay! now he will open by just grabbing the key! yay!

okay forget it.

tapos na lit! yay! sembreak! whee!

but stupid me left my cellphone in danica's car! yay! but i'm going to get it tomorrow! yay! :D

i'm so sick of myself. ahaha.

301

okay forget about the music. if anybody knows how to stream music tell me because i'm so frustrated! ugh.

anyway. tomorrow is my lit finals. no more history! yay! why? because i'm exempted! yaaaay! :D

i'm not as happy as i was last week. oh physics. you will be the death of me.

so. um, not very talkative now. maybe when lit is over. tomorrow will be my last day of school. and after that, i'm home free!!! wheeeeeee!

so, later guys. :D

300!

Thus I present to you, my 300th post.

Smile, Ely!

(Now that I'm actually posting it, it looks kind of pathetic, but hey! no complaining!)


Expect 301 to come very soon...

post number two hundred and ninety nine

yeah, one more to go. yay.

i was just reading my old posts, from the very first posts here on my blogger blog. man, i was so emo. wait, excerpt:

"Today was our AJSS graduation. As much as I want to celebrate that I no longer have to go to school every single day during my summer vacation, I have yet to wait for the fact, that I will no longer be seeing my new friends, sink in. I'm like that. Will I cry? I will still have to find out. It feels terrible though, especially as I rode the tricycle home, knowing it would be the last time (except if I do go to Ateneo in college, where hopefully, I will meet all the AJSS-ers again). As I was in the LRT with my mom and my sister, reading all the notes in my envelope, I realize that it would be a long long time again before I get to commute back and forth to Ateneo everyday. As I type now, the fact has almost sunk in halfway. I read all your notes, and I feel sorry that I didn't get to know each and every one of you personally. I hate myself for that. (To quote Toni: I hate me! :P) In two weeks, I will be going back to SSHS. And I have a new goal. I want to be as close as I can be to every single one of my classmates. I no longer want to be that shy lonely girl sitting in a corner, all alone. But how do I do this? I don't know yet, but I will try, although that would be quite hard, considering the fact that I think I am naturally shy.... "I think"."
-May 27, 2006. (when my blog was still http://charmaineyv.blogspot.com)

See? emo much? not that we called that "emo" back then. so i couldn't diagnose myself with emoness when i wrote that. yuck. i hate it. i hate being depressed. i'm actually being all depressed now, but you know, i'm trying to shake it off. it's like everything the other way around. i used to be depressed when i was at home, but now, i'm depressed at school. emooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i hate that word. i shall never use that word in my blog ever again and if i do have to i'd replace it with "bunnies!" so that i'll be forced to think of bunnies and not bunnies!-ness.

get me? :D

so guys, help me! catch me in the act of using the word on my blog. i'll like, punish myself or something. i don't know yet.

anyway more about the excerpt.

so like, i said there that i hated myself for being shy and all. i did. i still do. but i'm less shy now, and i guess it worked. all throughout 4th year, i did my best to be all happy and chipper and talk to everyone. and it worked. still shy, yeah, but so much better. although i still have bunnies! tendencies i'm less that and more happy... thanks guys. love!

298th post

okay, if you're like, OC or something, and you counted my posts or even just added up the numbers down there by the archives, you'll realize that i DON'T have 298 posts. why? because, there are drafts in my blog... stuff i kept in my blogger account but never published. but there are like, 2 or 3 of them, so i'm going to pretend they're posts, ok? good. :)

cge yun na muna. kasi nga hinahabol ko yung isa dyan, that's why there are lots of posts all of a sudden. and also because i'm trying to reach 300 posts soon.

early matteo-ing

still doing that cursed Physics lt... when will this suffering end?

Well, it'll end on Oct 12... which is the last day of the semester! yay! finals week kasi oct8-12 so after that i'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! hanggang november something kasi three weeks sem break... yes! expect me to do nothing but while away the time at home watching dramas or playing computer games, i've got like a week's worth of 60 minute trials downloaded to keep me busy. build a lot, cake mania 2, plant tycoon... you name it, i've got it...

i've even got burger island downloaded on mostfun... that's the game client that let's you play games free with ads... you can find it on mostfun.com... nice din games nya ah. meron sila chocolatier! yay! which i finished eons ago... pati tradewinds legends which i finished in like, a day. and westward, pero nakakainis kasi naglalag... but it's a fun game, medyo nakakainis lang ung pagsasalita nila kc western accent.

Kanina 777 messages inbox ko... wla lang. naisip ko si krizia. hehe.

anyway, kanina i was wondering who this jake cuenca guy was and bakit parang pinagkakaguluhan cya. tapos ginoogle ko.

oh. it's him. tagal na nya ah. he's not even cute.

ANYWAY i'm currently doing the physics mock exam thingy. hirap. i'll post it here so you guys can try out my test giving skills... haha! :)

cge un lang. 296th post.

Ikuta Toma = love

Just another one of these avatar thingies, this time of Ikuta Toma /Nakatsu Shuichi from Hana Kimi... love love love! :D

(it's not a crush, it's adoration :P)

Ciao!

hrm.

i'm watching tv and blogging at the same time. go figure.

actually, i'm watching discovery travel & living, "world's best: sexy destinations for couples"

ahem ahem.

well actually i'm just waiting for david tutera to come on. have you ever watched david tutera? you HAVEN'T? REALLY? what are you still doing reading my blog?? you're missing half of your life!

(okay, if you ARE missing half of your life by not watching david tutera, you're probably missing about a gazillion percent of your life because of all the things you've been missing.)

basta, maganda david tutera. it's goes on tv at 5 pm on discovery travel & living. meron rin ata pag gabi, but i'm not sure what time.

uhh... yun lang. i'm kind of *obviously* posting random stuff because i'm trying to reach the 300th post soon. i'm now on 294, i think. :D

japanese torture methods

nasa ctc 101 ako... waiting for 1:30 so that i could go to ching tan room for histo play... may quiz pa mamaya... but anyway cge share muna ako.

btw, if you're danette, you don't want to read this. trust me.

my left thumb nail, as you know, was almost ripped out of my thumb on sunday. today, or more specifically, this morning, as i tied my shoelaces (just as i had on sunday) it happened. AGAIN. on the SAME THUMB.

sobrang naiiyak na ako kanina kasi mas malala pa yung ngayon kaysa nung sunday and it's hurting so badly... naalala ko tuloy mga "japanese torture method" nung world war 2... poor people... they had their nails actually ripped out TAPOS sinosoak pa sa salt water... imagine... okay, never mind, don't imagine. that's sickening and you know it.

so well yun na lang. i'm thankful i didn't live during world war 2 where nails being ripped out of fingers was done intentionally and was not an act of stupidity like it is today.

thank you.

292th post

remember that movie "I Not Stupid"? (if you were my classmate in high school, most likely you know.)

meron na palang part 2 yun, entitled "I Not Stupid Too"... pero wala na si Terry... awww... yung two other guys na lang... haha... oh well, at least meron... i'm gonna attempt dloading it on the internet, but if all else fails, hihiram na lang shobe ko sa friend nya... wheeheehee... if you've never watched even the first one, then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?! Go and download it!!! Now!!!

EDIT: Btw, the movie's from Singapore! All the more reason to watch it! :D

things to share

291st post na pala to. in a few days (or malay nyo, today mismo) magiging 300th na yan... :)

but anyway, just want to share something with you guys...nung fun run (which is yesterday), my left thumb fingernail (or thumbnail) was almost torn out of my thumb when i was tying my shoelaces (due to my own stupidity). well not really. a bit lang. pero nagkasugat, at dumugo rin, so it hurt! but now it doesn't thanks to the power of platelets! now you guys and I myself know that I don't have diabetes or any other sickness that reduces platelets or something like that.

so... um. tapos na report namin sa english, tsaka napass na rin position paper ko sa physics. but are things all peachy (wahahhaha sorry inside joke... with people who most probably has never laid eyes on my blog)? nooooooo... tsk tsk tsk (haha, inside joke din yan, sorry) i still have HISTORY! yeahhhhh history... hay buhay.

cge na mamaya na... later i will be the most sinabawang gulay you have ever met.
