2011 Here I Come!!

I have "sooooooooooooooooooo" many plans for 2011 and i hope that i can do them all. First off, i need to finish the story that i am writing. The next one will be finding an artist to draw it. Third, find a good exercise routine to remove all the blubber in my stomach and Fourth, Enroll for Japanese Classes. Well, those are on the top of my list and sadly i won't be able to post all the things that i have to do for 2011.

I am very thankful for the past year, because i learned a lot and i was able to have more free time for myself. It also made me realize on what i really wanted to do for the next three years of my life. I am not expecting everything to be smooth sailing and i know that I'm heading for a very bumpy road. However, this is one of those things that i have to do and that is to create my own "accomplishment" in life.

My New Years Resolution would be "Exercise, Exercise, Exercise".

I want to thank all the people that I have met during 2010 and the times i spent with them. I don't believe in destiny, but i do believe in fate. What is the difference between the two? I'll leave that to your imagination. Just remember that their are an unlimited number of choices that you have in life, but none of them can be the right choice. If that happens what do you do? It's pretty simple, "When you make a choice...You make that choice the right one".

Now I am waiting for the next Anime's for 2011 and some of them will be listed today as well. But before that, I would like to do a recap on what i think was interesting "anime series" for the past months that i have started making anime reviews. I will continue to make anime reviews for 2011 and i hope that you guys will enjoy the anime titles that I enjoyed watching.

Here are some of the Anime's from the previous years that passed by and i do recommend these titles. Of course, all the anime reviews i made so far are the ones that really made an impact on me. So please try them when you have the time ;)



Now for the Anime's of 2011 that I am looking forward for!



Good things come and go and the only thing that is permanent in this world is change.
I wish you all happiness this life has to offer in the year 2011. May all your dreams come true and lastly, stay safe everyone ^^,


"If your mind can conceive it
and your heart can believe it.
You will definitely Achieve it!"

Till then, Keep the Flames Burning!!

My Sister is Not Cute and Well Guarded Secrets

Almost everyone has a secret that they can't tell anyone, especially those who are close to them. But, there are times when they have no choice but to tell others and hope that they will accept them as they are.

The Two anime titles that I'm going to share to you is something you might have watched before and a series that has just ended. The first on my list is the Anime "Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai" better known as "My Little Sister can't be this Cute!"



Ok, my personal thoughts on the matter first. As much as i want to agree with the title and what the story implies....If you have your own little sister, then you will probably understand. Some anime's displays a strong bond between siblings, especially about the older brother caring for her little sister. Of course, Brothers "Care" for their sisters in real life...but anime's tend to exaggerate at times ^_^
The Truth about Brother and Sister Relationship is not always rainbow colored. It is sometimes dyed with the bloody colors of red O,...,O

I have a little sister and we spent most of our childhood beating the crap out of each other. Since I'm the "Oldest and Strongest" she occasionally suffers some bruises and sprains after all the fighting has passed. Our fights happens almost everyday, because we don't always agree about something...we even fight about something so "petty".

I don't know when exactly i stopped beating her....but i remember the reason why I stopped. Seeing her all bruised up after that one fight, made me ashamed of myself. From then on onwards, I promised not to lay a hand on my sister again. Even now, we argue a lot and yes, almost every single day. But now we only do "word fights". Yeah the usual, Curses...Insults...and even threats. I don't know if that is still good or our relationship has improved. But, i can proudly say that i stopped "Beating the crap out of her". (^^,)V

Well ok enough of that, now back to the story.

The Anime "My Little Sister can't be this Cute" is the story about an Older brother and a little sister (DUH!) who doesn't really talk to each other and prefers it that way. The first time i became aware of this title is because of the Manga i read. Surprisingly after reading the manga for 3 days i saw that it was released as an anime.

Coincidence? I stopped believing in coincidence long before "Tsubasa Reservoir and xxHolic" was released. I was just happy that there is something "interesting to watch" and help pass the time.

Kyōsuke Kōsaka was your typical average kind of guy. He's not good looking and the only thing that is good about him is....the fact that she has a cute sister?

One day, he found a CD Case of an "Anime Magical Girl" that contains an "Ero Game". He was shocked to find something like that lying around the house and decided to find out who is the owner of the "Ero Game". His deduction was simple....His Mom = No way, His Dad = No Freaking Way, Her Sister = Impossible. So who is the owner of the CD? He decided to find it out for himself and was surprised at the discovery.

His little sister Kirino Kōsaka went to his room frantically searching for the CD Case that she dropped. Yeah, the owner of the "Ero Game" was his little sister "Kirino". Kyosuke returned the CD to her and promised not to tell his parents about it.

He thought that it ended right there. He thought wrong =)

Kirino suddenly came to his room late at night and invites him to her room.
She showed her "secret hobby" to her Older Brother and that was the start of something "unexpected". She loves to play games that concerns "Little Sisters".

Anime, Games, Ero Games you name it! As long as it has a little sister character, this otaku maniac will stop at nothing to acquire it. The thing is, she loves playing them so much...yet he hates his older brother?

Her hobby was discovered by his dad and everything was in chaos. Seeing her little sister so depressed and crying over something she loved triggered something in Kyosuke. What is it? Brotherly Love? Perhaps...Irritation? Perhaps...but it was something that he thought was pretty Crazy as well. Imagine, defending her little sister for having a weird hobby which he personally think is weird as well.

His dad finally gave up and the family accepted her hobby. That was the start of the so called "Life Consultations" by Kirino. Kyosuke listens to this consultations and acts accordingly to what he think is right and wrong.

Kirino found friends who share the same hobby.

Ruri Gokō is a very petite, mysterious and soft spoken lady that calls herself Kuroneko. A gothic lolita cosplayer that likes mystery type animes, which is the complete opposite of Kirino's hobby. They get along well "in their own way" and can also be considered as close friends (but they won't admit it).

Saori Makishima the leader of the so called "Anime Girls Unite" group and the main supporting character for the two girls. Her pen name is "Saori Vageena", just call her Saori so you won't have any problems ^_^

The story was pretty interesting in its own way. The humor was just right, the drawing was nice, the story was good and the ending was a "Good Ending" as most games are concerned. To those that are looking for a light anime to watch, then My Little Sister can't be this cute will suit your taste just fine.

Now for the second anime title....they both have similarities, that is also the main reason why i decided to make them the "review for this week".


"Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu" or "Haruka Nogizaka's Secret" is the story about a girl that is recognized as the most beautiful, most talented and smartest student in Hakujō Academy. The thing is, she has a secret and she loves anime. Pretty Normal? Not to the so called "Normal People". Well as you may already know,people that likes anime is considered different. Even in Japan, these so called Otakus are not accepted by many people. Haruka fears that if her secret was revealed, her life would be over.



Something similar happened in the past, which made her transfer schools.She was traumatized by that experience and goes out of her way to conceal her so called "secret hobby".

One Day Yūto Ayase was asked by a friend to return a book in the library. It was an anime book, but he is not an anime lover. He's your average guy that studies hard and works hard. He accidentally discovers Haruka Nogizaka's secret, when he bumped into her and saw the book that he just returned in her possession.

Being the good guy that he is, he promised not to reveal her secret. It was tough protecting Haruka's secret, because she is the school's number one idol. He got various problems regarding "Haruka's fans" but he was able to overcome each and every obstacle.

There is another problem. The Nogizaki Family doesn't like Haruka's hobby. Well not everyone in the family, only her FATHER. He is very strict and doesn't want Haruka to have these "Weird hobbies".

Her secret was discovered by his father and it was time for Yuto, to stand up and protect Haruka from his clutches. Supported by Haruka's little sister Mika Nogizaka the powerful Maids Hazuki Sakurazaka and Nanami Nanashiro they make sure that Haruka enjoys her Hobby and the Love of her life at the same time.

^__^ pretty good story if you ask me.


I am currently writing a story and I hope that I find someone to draw it.
The title of my so called manga is "Dareka No Tameni" and i plan on finishing it by January or February. If someone can give it justice...and the drawings are good then who knows what might happen? I am crossing my fingers and pray that it will be something BIG! ^____^


Till then...Keep the Flames Burning!

Girl + Girl + Girl = More Girls? (LOL)

Well, i am familiar with anime's that have the Harem feature. Many cute girls surrounding a guy, and many cute guys surrounding a girl. But, when you see anime's like "Maria-sama ga Miteru" it makes you think twice that their are other anime's that focuses on the same gender relationship. Although, not all of you are familiar with BL (Boys Love?) Yaoi and Girl to Girl (Yuri) relationships, their are some anime's that have these kind of genre.

Although these relationships also happens in "real life", the question that most people often asks is "WHY?"

I'm not an expert on that field, so i won't try to explain the details on how these relationship works. But Hey! All is fair in Love and War right?

Now, lets focus on the anime at hand. The title of this anime is "Koihime Musou" and it consists of 3 seasons. The story revolves around Unchou, Kan'u (Kanu)
A girl who's parents were killed by bandits. In order to stop the same thing from happening to others, she became the notoriously known "Bandit Hunter".



She met her first friend Yokutoku, Chouhi (Rin Rin) and she became her sworn sister (Hmmm...to put it simply, a sister that is not blood related but shares the same relationship as a real sister).

RinRin is rather a very active and cheerful girl that doesn't know how to keep still even for a minute. Her playful attitude and stubbornness matches up with her sworn sister's carefree and matured demeanor.


The two of them journeyed the land to make it a better place for everyone. They encounter a lot of people and of course "bandits" along the way and these is where the whole story revolves.

They also met a lot of girls that carries the same weapon (Spears) and together they made the "Revolutionary Army". These army is responsible in clearing away bandit troops in different areas in the country (Btw, the setting was on Ancient China).


Chouun Shiryuu is another unique character in the story. She pretty much likes to play jokes on people and sometimes cosplays as "Kachou Kamen" (Masked Butterfly). She loves to eat bamboo shoots and sometimes get lost in the story and only appears when...she thinks it is appropriate to make an appearance (lol).

It would take up a lot of time to describe all the characters in the story because there are a LOT of them. Nevertheless, these anime series is something worthwhile to watch.

The Following are the titles for the different seasons of the anime.

Koihime Musou - First Season
Shin Koihime Musou - Second Season
Shin Koihime Musou Otome Tairan - Third Season

Of course, the main characters are all girls so expect some "ecchiness" every now and then. The humor is just about right and the story line is surprisingly interesting.

Now we go to the other anime title.
This second anime caught my interest because of the seemingly familiar and intriguing story line. It tackles about the so called "Gods" of a certain town and their identity is hidden among the local populace.



The anime title is "Ookami Kakushi".
The story takes place in "Jouga Town" where Hiroshi Kuzumi and his family moved in.
Hiroshi suddenly became popular among his class and a lot of people seem attracted to him. Some of his classmates mysteriously disappears and whenever he ask what happened to them, almost everyone just says that they "Moved Out".

He witnessed a murder done by someone wielding a great scythe and has been directly involved in the secret surrounding the small town of Jouga. He found out that he has a certain characteristic that attract the "Gods" (Werewolves in Human Form). He is also referred in the story as a "Temptation" that is too hard to resist.

The Ending is a little hmmm...lacking perhaps? But i guess, it's ok in its own way.
You just have to see for yourself whether you find it interesting or not.

Now the Third Anime Title is.....What? There's More? Of course =) , were going for a third anime title this week *Smirks*.

The title of this anime is "Seitokai no Ichizon". Ok, this anime is pretty well known and the reason is..."You don't actually need one".

Well basically, this anime only revolves around a certain room and that is where the whole story takes place. Yeah...imagine the story just stays in one room? Pretty "Daring" if you ask me. Surprisingly, it worked out just fine.



Hekiyou Academy has a special student council that does practically.....NOTHING!
Yeah, this is the only student council that doesn't have any workload and they just chat around all day. They often make parodies of some "Anime titles" which also enhances the appeal of the story.

The main character Ken Sugisaki (also the only guy in the student council) Holds the Blue Chip position. A position that is taken by the smartest person in the school. He often flirts with the four main heroines and consider the student council as his own personal Harem. Although a very perverted person at heart, he goes out of his way to make sure that all his pretty girls are always smiling.

The President of the student council Kurimu Sakurano is a very active girl that likes to eat sweet things. Her Special feature is ....having no special feature aside from being short and flat chested. She likes to propose different topics to start a meeting but everything is in vain because of the lack of interest of the student council members.

Chizuru Akaba is the more ladylike character in the story and is also the secretary of the student council. If i have to describe her, she resembles the student council president of "Sora no Otoshimono". Yeah the Yakuza Girl that likes to give torture to people. She's really smitten with Kurimu and likes to play around with Ken.

Minatsu Shiina is a girl that loves action and adventure. She's the typical Tsundere type character who likes to punch Ken whenever he tries to do something perverted. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this girl loves fighting so much that opening a martial arts tournament would seem the "normal" thing to do for her. Well, she's pretty cute in her own way and is also the sister of Mafuyu Shiina.

Mafuyu Shiina is considered as the cutest? hmmm most attractive? girl in the student council aside from the president. She's a girl that loves to play games and read BL titles (Boys Love) and have a weird fantasy that concerns relationship between Ken and an imaginary cute guy. She's not very active and would only participate in discussion when asked.

These four girls have influenced Ken when he was down and depressed and also the reason why he did his best to join the student council. She met the president during the spring, Minatsu during the summer, Chizuru during the fall and Mafuyu during the Winter.

Yeah...a unique anime in its own right and worthy to be mentioned in my weekly anime reviews.

Btw, The last episode of Sora No Otoshimono Forte is now posted on youtube and animeready.com

Another good anime series has ended and the only thing that i am waiting for is the release of the Sora no Otoshimono the Movie.I really hope the manga will still continue and hopefully go for a third season. There are really some anime's that you don't want to end right away. I bid you all a great week and hopefully a great Christmas.


Till then...Keep the Flames Burning!

Strictly 18 and Above!

Ok, so like i said...this week's review is for those that are only 18 and above. If you are not within the age limit then i suggest you scram and get the hell out of this page right now...

So before we start, i would like to clear one thing first. Everyone has their own preference and no matter what others say about your likes and dislikes, you shouldn't give a damn on what they have to say. I mean...duh, it's your life your living and not theirs right?

So without further delays i present to you 2 anime's that i think would make you feel a little awkward at times but happy inside? (lol that could mean a lot of things btw).

The First Anime/Manga that i'm going to tell you is "Sora no Otoshimono".
But before that, i would like to cite my own honest opinion on the series.
While i was watching the first few episodes, i was thinking that "Hey, this is weird...but it's good?" and "This can be better, this could get a lot better.", "It has room for improvements, with a few tweaks this would be awesome".

After watching Clannad, i got a little too sensitive while watching and reading things. So...I was greatly interested on how the anime would turn out to be. It turned out just right, but like i said it could have been a lot better. But i guess, without the usual pervertness then this anime/manga might not even be one of the best anime's of the current generation.

Anyways, Sora no Otoshimono is the story about Tomoki Sakurai...a highschool student that likes "Peace and Quiet" above all else. He has a childhood friend named Sohara Mitsuki that takes good care of him and gives him the "deadly karate chop" when he goes out of bounds.



He has been having a dream about a girl that he meets whenever he enters the dreamworld and she gets spirited away by the sky every time. These dreams seem to have a greater meaning than what it seems and that is where it all started.

A girl fell from the sky one night and Sakurai tried his best to save her from the falling debris. The girl was an angel (Angeloid to be precise) and she made Sakurai her master. Her name is Ikaros/Icaros and she is a "Pet Class Angeloid" which is made for the sole purpose of entertaining and following her master's orders (well, i wouldn't mind having one).

Sakurai did his best to teach her on how to act more human but it seems that she is a little too slow on things. One thing led to another and he meets another Angeloid by the name of "Nymph". A little Loli angel that is also known as Beta (Electronic Warfare Angeloid, Type Beta to be more precised). Her mission was simple, to take Ikaros back to the Synapse.

The first season progressed and Ikaros and Nymph had their share on how to live and feel as humans (which of course, they don't really understand). The relationship between the angeloids and Sakurai develop at a slow pace, which makes the story a little interesting perhaps?

The season 2 started of with a bang, it is also the signal of the introduction of another Angeloid, Astraea and she is a "Close-Combat Angeloid, Type Delta". A very beautiful yet very stupid angeloid. She is considered as a very powerful warrior but it seems that she is quite harmless and a bit clumsy at times. Her mission? To exterminate Sakurai once and for all, but it seems that she is having a very hard time on doing it.

Of course, it's not always sunshine and rainbows...a lot of twists has been made to make sure that Sakura's life is not as "Peaceful" as he wanted and the combination of these 3 angels made the story very good, to say the least.



Who wouldn't want three cute angels to keep you company? i sure wouldn't mind if that was me.


The next Anime/Manga is somewhat...err..a bit extreme to others.
The title is "Koe De Oshigoto" Now before you start saying that this anime is insane (which i would agree with you), it deals with a more "Real Life" point of view.

As we know Seiyuu's or Japanese Voice actors are responsible in giving life to our beloved anime characters. But what happens if a 16 yeard old highschool girl tried her hand on "Eroge Voice Acting?". Hmmmm to others that doesn't know what it means, it simply says "Porn voice actors" so to speak.

Yeah, a highschooler saying lewd and erotic words (thats a bit extreme you think?) and making it sound so real.



This is actually just an OVA which is on its first episode, i heard or i guess i think that the second installment of the Ova will be on March ( Crap...so long). This ova reminded me of a similar anime entitled "REC". A Seiyuu that is struggling to get a major role in voice acting.

Anyways back to Koe de Oshigoto, it is a story about Kanna Aoyagi a normal 16 year old high school girl that has a sister that works at an Eroge Company (a company that makes porn games). She was against the idea at first but did her best for the sake of her older sister. Actually she can act better when she enters her "Trance" mode.

When she goes into a trance, she is able to say the things that she wouldn't normally say. These includes erotic words that concerns genitals and other lewd words that is suitable for "ecchiness".

The story was funny as well, but the anime was actually more....whats the word? DETAILED perhaps? well, i doubt if the censorship will go down a little and i think the single episode alone has more "Ecchi" moments compared to any normal anime series combined.

It was really interesting and i kinda like it (haha? don't look at me like that).
Well, i guess i have to wait for the manga updates and the anime updates for Koe de Oshigoto.


Btw, i forgot to add that the Name for the second season of Sora no Otoshimono was "Sora no Otoshimono Forte", it comprises of only 12 episodes but i heard that they are planning to make a movie. I hope it turns out great, with 2 more episodes remaining for season 2 it seems that the anime will be a little too short for comfort. Anyone for season 3? well i can only hope.

I also added an anime opening slot in my blog. I will change it weekly and the change will happen by hmmm...Saturday next week? Anyways, enjoy the changes and i wish you all great days ahead.

I Will also change the songlist for the blog by tomorrow as well.

That's it for today and till then...

Keep the Flames Burning!

The Qualities of a Good Anime

There are a lot of people that have a lot of different tastes when it comes to almost everything in life. Fashion, Lifestyle, Hobbies, Sports and the list goes on and on. One of the things that i will discuss with you today is my personal opinion on what is a good and a bad anime.

Well, like i said this is my own personal preference and many of you might have their own thoughts about the matter as well. To start with, i believe that a good and bad anime/manga is something that leaves an impression or has an "impact" on your emotion. You wouldn't comment if its just "SO~SO" right?

Now let me start with an example of what i think was a bad anime a few years ago. Almost everyone expects that shows ends with a "good ending". If it doesn't then you automatically calls it "bad".

There is only one anime that i have labeled as a bad anime and I first watched it a few years ago. It was "Air" by Kyoto Animation and the year was 2005. Now why did i say that Air was a bad anime? The Drawing is good, the story is nice...But, the ending was sad and depressing. Now i was still young back then and like i said, the only thing that i care about are happy endings.

Air left a bad aftertaste after I watched it and i stayed away from anime's that have the same story line. I stayed away from anime's that have sad and depressing endings. As time went on, more and more anime's known as "slice of life" and "tear jerkers" were created. I had my share of those anime's and i find them nice and interesting to watch.

In a sense, i finally have grown up to my so called "Air Syndrome" and started to find other anime's to watch. Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't ever watch Air again. I consider it as an anime good for watching only once.

Then just a few days ago, I was feeling sick because of the change of weather. Christmas is almost here and it was a little too cold lately. Unfortunately, i had been coughing a lot lately and have a very active "runny nose". To take my mind away from my sickness i thought of watching one of the best rated anime's a few years ago and that was "Clannad".

After watching the first episode, i suddenly realized that I "did" watch the first episode of this anime a few years ago (just the first episode). The drawing and the feel gave me that "Air Syndrome" and i decided to stop watching it way back then. Since i had been looking for something worth watching, i decided to put my doubts behind me and dive head on.

I think i made a mistake, seriously one of the biggest mistake i ever did.
Clannad was an anime that focuses on the emotions of people and it can really leave you with an ache.



First and foremost, let me tell everyone that haven't watched this anime "yet" that if you have a heart disease, or have a high blood pressure...it is best to steer clear away from this anime.

YOU MIGHT NOT SURVIVE TO WATCH THE LAST EPISODE!
Yes, i am serious about it and i sincerely hope that you heed my warning.

To those that believe that they are strong enough, mature enough and able enough to handle it, then by all means try to watch it.




The story revolves around Tomoya Okazaki, you can consider him as a highschool delinquent (typical). He hates the city and the life that he lives and doesn't know what to do with his life. His Best friend Youhei Sunohara is just like him, but deep down has a kind heart when his friends are concerned.

As Tomoya was walking towards school, he meets a girl that is standing at the bottom of the climb and talking to herself. The girl's name was Nagisa Furukawa a shy, clumsy, weak bodied but strong willed person. She wants to re-establish the theater club and wants to create a play about "The Girl that lived in a world that Ended".

It might seem like a typical Harem style of anime (which is what it is) but as the story progressed for the first season it didn't cover too much of the Romantic Side (only at the end). The story focused on the "arcs" of the girls that is always around Tomoya. A lot of people consider the first season as the "Introduction part". The "Get to Know the Characters better" part.

Well aside from Nagisa who is the main heroine of the story, i strongly believed that the Ghost girl "Fuko Chan" was the main attraction of the season. You will love her story arc and will love her character as well. People refer to her as a ghost but that is not entirely true. She is more like a wandering spirit because she is still alive and is in a coma.

Fuko Busies herself everyday by giving away wooden art works that she personally carves (Starfish). She gives them away and hopes that those that receives them will come to her sister's wedding. Tomoya and Nagisa helped her and made her dream possible. The only thing that happened next was, they forgot about her. Well, she still appears every now and then in the story like a "magical girl" that helps out people in their time of great need.

Well enough of the small things about season 1.
Season 2 is the real deal.

I repeat, i congratulate you with completing season 1. Season 2 is the tearjerker and you won't even imagine how many times your heart is going to get crushed in this season, Not to mention...how many times you might actually cry.

Well people can't cry even if they want to when they are all grown up. But sometimes, if you feel like crying then you just go ahead and cry. I did, and it is more than once. This season is really heart breaking and i can't imagine the number of times that i decided to stop watching it and stop the punishment. Still, i watched it till the end which led to more heartbreaking moments and tear jerking seconds.

Season 2 focuses on The relationship of Tomoya and Nagisa, the hardships of graduating and the harsh world when you enter society. Yeah reality after graduation means job hunting, college exams, universities etc etc.

Tomoya and Nagisa decided to live together and form their own family. The hardships that they encountered and the times that they spent together.
They decided to get married and from then on out, the watchers of the anime encountered heart breaking moments.

The People who watched this anime might have said
"How many times will i cry?"
"Oh no I'm crying again?"
"It hurts...when does the hurting stop?"
"Damn i hate this anime!"
"I hate the Company that made this anime!"
"If this doesn't have a happy ending, i'll seriously get pissed!"
"Isn't that more than enough?"

And other similar comments after that...

I don't want to say more than that because it will be a spoiler to those that haven't watched it. You might notice the short story at the beginning of almost all episodes about the girl and the robot. The ending will reveal something surprising about those two characters and they will affect the outcome of the story.

This world, that world, another world and all the countless other worlds that holds limitless possibilities.


My only advice is get your tissue or handkerchief in hand, you will need it (Trust me). To those so called "macho guys" out there, feel free to test yourselves. I admit that i cried while watching this anime and was proud of it. I forgot what it feels like to shed a tear every now and then, i was reminded that i am still capable of doing it and that means that i'm still human.



Now i will say that Clannad is a good anime. After all, i think this is the only anime that made me shed a tear more than twice.Why is Clannad good and why is Air bad? Well the answer is simple, i think i was able to mature enough after watching the anime Air. I think i will be able to handle similar anime's like Clannad, but i don't think that i will watch anything like it after a few days. I still need to recover and my broken heart is still mending.

Till then, Keep the Flames Burning!

If you can change the Past will you do it?

Well some people will say that they won't change the past and what happened is predestined. Changing the past will definitely change the future (Scientifically speaking of course). Some people will however jump at that opportunity, to change something may it be great or small. They can make themselves rich...find the one they love, prevent an accident....become king of the world by wishing on a dragon ball? (Lol).



Anyways, if there was something that is worth changing, no matter the consequence...will you do it? I was thinking along the same lines when i read the Manga "Psyren". This is the story about a world on which almost all of humanity has been wiped out and the only remaining existence is a world where people are turned into machine like creatures called Tavoo (no its not Taboo).

To prevent this, a powerful and mysterious being named "Nemesis Q" gathers people from all over the world and let them find the answers to the question that he/she is seeking. All of these people have one thing in common, they have the "Psyren Cards". These cards allow them to travel to the distant future and try to survive in a harsh and difficult earth.

Ageha Yosiha is an average high school student that will solve your problems for 10,000 yen. May it be fighting someone or just looking for something that you've lost. Her childhood friend Sakurako Amamiya rarely goes to class and when she does, she always seems to be injured in a way. One day, Amamiya was called to the world to play the game that Nemesis Q has started.

Ageha notices her anxiousness and tried to talk to her, the only reply that she was able to say was "Save Me". That was the last time Ageha saw Amamiya. The next thing that happened was Ageha, answering this questionares on a local telephone booth and getting "connected" with the world of Psyren.

He appeared on a world that was in ruin and the first thing he saw was a beast that killed someone. He also saw Amamiya and she helped him clear his so called "First Round". They also met another childhood friend of their's named Hiryu Asaga. After clearing the round, they were able to obtain the power to use their brains capabilities which gives them unique abilities.

I prefer to call them "Espers", Humans that have special powers. Together with Oboro Mochizuki (an actor/Idol)and Kabuto Kirasaki a quick legged, witted, escape artist (not by profession, but someone who just like to run away when trouble is near), they try to prevent the world from turning into a wasteland.



Welcome to the World of Psyren....hope you stay connected or die in the process *evil smirk*.



Till then...Keep the Flames Burning!

Laugh at Belzebub? NO FREAKING WAY?! =)

I'm still looking for some good anime's and i haven't seen something that i consider interesting. I took a quick break from watching and resumed to reading Mangas. I didn't regret my decision and i was doing my best to recover from a tummy ache a few days ago...its not because of something i ate. I was hurting because I was laughing so much in reading Belzebub from www.Mangafox.com



Well first things first, I'll warn you first hand...If you don't even laugh on Belzebub then you don't have any sense of humor. Secondly, if you decide to read it try to read it alone without anyone hearing your psychotic and demented laughter. Yeah~ my sister and mom thought i was going crazy because i was laughing so loud a few days ago (My sister got curious and read the same manga. She was also laughing after a few pages and got addicted in reading the story.

Belzebub is the story about Tatsumi Oga (Oga) your typical, badass punk that likes to beat the crap out of anyone and the son of the Demon King Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV (Baby Bele). The Demon King wants to destroy humanity because he find them annoying but his schedule is pretty busy. He decided to let his son take care of destroying the world and assigned her wet nurse Hildagarde (Hilda) to find a suitable parent that will raise him. People refer to her as a Gothic Lolita (lolita? hahaha, seriously thats funny).

Together with the dimensional demon Alaindelon, they journeyed to the human world and found Oga. Baby Bele became attached to Oga and Oga did his best to get away from him. Baby Bele has some special powers and one of it is his "Ultra Electro Magnetic Shock" (just kidding). Whenever he cries, he sends electric shocks to his surroundings and electrocute anyone in the vicinity. Yeah~ Oga always gets hit by this attack. Aside from crying, Baby Bele also shocks Oga whenever he goes beyond 15m away from him.

Together with his friend Takayuki Furuichi (Furuichi)they searched their school to find the most evil and strongest punk to take Baby Bele away from him. He found out that Baby Bele made a contract with him which gives him "Demonic Powers" each time he fight. He later told Bele to stop doing those things and tried his best to teach him the valuable lessons of life. That lesson is...Don't Cry (Lol).



Belzebub is scheduled to be aired on January 2011 and this is one of the anime series that I am dying to see. Seriously, i wouldn't miss that opportunity if I were you.

Till then...

All Hail Britannia!...Errrr..GALLIA!!!

I doubt if anyone haven't heard of the anime "Code Geass" AKA Lelouch of the Rebellion (One of the anime's that caught my attention). The story starts with the Britannian Empire capturing almost all the nations of the world and Japan fell into their hands as well. The country Japan was later called Area 11 and the Japanese were called "Elevens".


Lelouch Lamperouge is not your typical 17 year old Ashford Academy student. Unknown to many he is a son of the Emperor of Britannia. Together with his sister Nunally Lamperouge, they were banished by their father to Area 11 were they hid their identity and tried to live normal lives. Lelouch has a simple wish, he wants to create peaceful world on which his sister Nunnaly can live in peace.

He also bears hatred towards his father (The Emperor of Britannia)because of the death of his Mother Empress Marianne. His entire life changed the moment he encounter the witch known in the story as "C.C". She is also an immortal and have the ability to give amazing powers to anyone that she desires. That power is called "Geass". The Eyes of a Geass user changes when he uses his power and some of those power requires something in return. If you were not able to control the powers it can go wild and may lead to serious complications.

His power was the Geass the can control anyone that makes eye contact with him.
But he can only order that person "once".Well he didn't have a problem with that condition and made sure that he used it effectively. C.C helped him with his plans and together they were an incredible combination. A combination fueled by hate and love at the same time.

Lelouch took another personality and called himself "Zero". He defends those that are powerless and are abused by the powerful. With his own troops known as the Black Knights, they waged war on the Britannian Empire and almost managed to be successful on the first Season of the Anime.

Lelouch planned well but not everything went according to his ideals. His sister Nunnaly was taken and made Governor of Area 11 which caused complications to his plans. His bestfriend Suzaku Kururugi also hinders his plan by piloting the White Knightmare known as "Lancelot" a powerful robot that is considered as one of the best creations on their generation.



The second part of the anime was more interesting because the battle took on a world wide scale. The Black Knights took shelter in China and made their plans to bring down the Britannian Empire once and for all. But guess what? Things kept on happening one after the other and Lelouch found himself torn between his love for his sister Nunnally and his hatred for his father the Emperor of Britannia. Gundam fans found this anime very entertaining and if you haven't watched it yet, then you better give it a try. You don't know what you're missing.

And yeah~ if you happen to watch the end of season 2 and thinks that Lelouch died...then you are definitely mistaken =P

The Story that you don't Know...

I never knew that finding good anime's takes a lot of time and effort. I've watched a couple of anime's over the past few days and i found only two that stand out. One of them is the anime entitled "Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou". It is the story about a boy who can see spirits and demons.



Natsume recieved a book called the "Book of Friends". It is a book that contains the names of spirits that his grandma "Reiko" has forced into servitude. Well forced is too strong a word, it's more like spirits that Reiko encountered when she was still alive. A lot of spirits are after the book and some of them are bad spirits that like to cause harm to humans and other spirits as well.

Natsume has a bodyguard that he calls "Nyanko Sensei", a cat (Personally, i like to call him Cat Pig)that is also a powerful ayakashi. He kept on saying that he wants Natsume to die, so that he can steal the Book of Friends. He's not really a good liar and i think he really cares about Natsume.

I experienced something interesting while watching this Anime. This anime can only be viewed in Megavideo and if you don't have any Megavideo accounts,then you will have to wait for an hour after watching 3 episodes. I encountered mysterious episodes while changing my browser. I use googlechrome when i browse the internet and this is the same browser i use when i watch anime series. Episode 7 requires you to use "Firefox Browser" if you're using googlechrome and watching from Animeseason. We tried watching it on googlechrome and we got 2 episodes that didn't continue the story of episode 6. Episode 7 was about a Fox Spirit that got attached to Natsume and visited him in his hometown. Episode 8 is about a FireFly spirit that is taking care of a painting. If you use Firefox browser, the story is continued to episode 7 with the evil spirit that is after Taki "A friend of Natsume's".

After finishing the series, I tried to look for the other 2 episodes but i haven't seen them ever since. O_o it was like, wow that was pretty mysterious. Anyways, you should try it as well. It was a very good series and the subtle and interesting plot will definitely captivate you into finishing it till the end.

Now the next anime that I'm about to tell you is the "Bakemonogatari" (Ghost Story) Anime.
I don't recommend this to people that doesn't have enough "patience and understanding". The story is a little complicated and the style makes it even more confusing. Overall I rate it as "Interesting" to say the least. I fell in love with the Ending song of the series which is "Kimi no Shira nai Monogatari" or "The Story you don't Know".



The story is about a Boy name Koyomi Araragi (Araragi) that is 1/10th vampire. He gets involved in different situations on which "abborations or apparitions" tend to attach themselves to cute girls. Yeah~ the first episode may in fact be the deciding factor whether someone will watch this series until the very end.

It focuses on the story of 5 girls that have these "Other wordly problems". Araragi seeks the help of "Meme Oshino" a man of middle aged years that have a mysterious background and takes care of "Shinobu Oshino" a cute little blond vampire (reminds me of Sue of Genshiken. She cosplays her on Genshiken 57). The first girl Hitagi Senjōgahara has been associated with the "Crab Spirit". Her problem is that she only weighs 5kg. Her burdens were taken away by the spirit and Araragi helps her to recover that burden. They became lovers (very very complicated and serious relationship, if i say so myself) and not an ordinary one at that.

The second girl is Mayoi Hachikuji, an earthbound spirit that people that doesn't want to go home encounters. She became good friends with Araragi and the only girl in the series that likes to mispronounce his name. She always says that she "stutters" whenever she says her name, but it is always on purpose.

The third is Suruga Kanbaru, the one that holds the so called "Monkeys Paw" but is later explained that it is a different kind of demon. She is a very athletic girl that likes Senjogahara (Araragi's Girlfriend). She claims that she is a lesbian and did everything to kill Araragi because of jealousy. Well she knocked him pretty good and was only saved by Senjogahara in the end.

The fourth is Nadeko Sengoku, among all the girls i really like her personalized opening song "renai circulation" (God she's cute xD)and she is quite cute as well (I just said that she's cute, sorry for repeating it again xD!). Her story is about a curse that is given to her while she was still young. The snake spirit is coiled around her body and it threatens her life. She tried to undo the curse by killing a lot of snakes and doing a ceremony in the temple dedicated for snakes. However the curse was not lifted and Araragi came to the rescue once again. Btw, Sengoku is a friend of her sister and calls him "Koyomi Oniichan".

The last is Tsubasa Hanekawa, this is Araragi's close friend and adviser. She is possessed by the Cat spirit that helps her relieve her stress by attacking anyone that happens to be on her path. She has the unique ability Energy Drain and sucks up the victims energy. Hanekawa's episode was also linked to the dissapearance of Shinobu (The vampire who sucks Arragi's blood from time to time). It seems that Hanekawa was in love with Araragi but doesn't want to tell him anything which led to the buildup of stress and caused the cat spirit to take form.

If you're going to watch Bakemonogatari, you must have a lot of patience. It's not your typical "watch and see" anime series. You just have to stick with it till the very end and be your own judge whether it's good or bad.


Changed the songs to Full anime songs because of my mood =P

Simply Amazing...5/5 Story

This is the story about two continents that had been at war for over a 100 years. Two continents that is divided by a big River (Lutoni River) and Mountains (Central Mountains). The East continent is called the Roxcheanuk Confederation (Did you bite your tounge? *lol*) AKA "Roxche" and the western Region which is known as the United Kingdom of Bezel Iltoa AKA "Soul Beil".


These two continents speak the same language and constantly finding new ways to cut each other's throats...so to speak.

At first, i thought that it resembled Gibli studios and the way they do anime movies. The story was really good and i felt like i was watching a compilation of anime movies, instead of an anime series. The story revolves around Wilhelm Schultz (Wil) A very smart and perceptive boy but is very slow when it comes to women's feelings (very typical).

His childhood friend Allison Whittington (Allison) is a beautiful, blonde, blue eyed lady that is not afraid to show her feelings. She acts and seems like a tomboy but she is very ladylike in so many ways. She holds Wil by the neck and drags him around wherever she goes. Also a very talented pilot that handles planes. They were both raised in an orphanage and considers each other as a family.


One day an old man told them a story about a treasure that can help stop the war between Roxche and Soul Beil. Before the old man was able to finish his story he was kidnapped and brought to the continent of Soul Beil. Btw, Wil and Allison are from Roxche. The two used a plane to follow the old man and they crossed the enemy's continent.

As the story progressed on the first 4 episodes, they were able to find the treasure that help end the war. Oh yeah~ the war was about "Who was the first humans that existed". Yeah, it was pretty important in the story >_>"

The fighting stopped and the two gave all the credits to Mr Carr Benedict (a fighter plane pilot, just like Alison) AKA Second Lieutenant Love Letter *lol*. After the discovery of the Treasure (Mural) he became the hero and was hailed on both continents.

The story didn't end there and this is a very interesting anime because the main characters actually aged. They met a lot of people and became friends with the Queen of a kingdom. Wil and Allison had a daughter "Lilia" (Which is the second part of the story Allison & Lilia). The second part of the story revolved around her and the prince of the Kingdom of Ikstova (The queen's son of course). Together they had the same adventures as their parents and discovered their feelings to each other.


If you're looking for something good to watch, then look no further.
I highly recommend Allison & Lilia, i give it a 5/5.
Go to animeseason.com and don't miss the chance of watching a one of a kind anime.

That's it for now, I'll let you know if i find something nice to watch or read.
Till then...

Your Soul, Your Beat.....you can't get anything better than that

Wow...the last thing i need is a tearjerker and i think i made a mistake when i watched "AngelBeats". I'm lost for words...the one that made this anime is really something.

At first i thought it was a serious anime, then i was laughing before i knew it. The last thing on my mind is that it can make people cry. I didn't cry though (I just felt like i want to, thats all) their are a few anime's that can make me cry. I'm really a sensitive person when it comes to good anime's and good manga's.

The story revolves around a school which is the final destination of teens that have died (without fulfilling things in life). Imagine waking up and the first person you see tell's you that you are already dead. How would that make you feel? Confused probably (especially if you don't have any memories). Yuzuru Otonashi experienced death and was in the middle of the fight between Rebels led by Yuri Nakamura(SSS) and the so called "Angel Character" Kanade Tachibana.

The rebels feels anger towards God for being unfair in their lives. Kanade is considered as an enemy because she is intent of "erasing" their existence (but it was really a misunderstanding). Kanade is not an angel and is also a human with a soul.
The other students in the school are considered as NPC's by Yuri because she thinks that they have no soul.

The rebels have guns, weapons and other things that they use to attack the Angel who is always in the way of their plans. The angel on the other hand is equipped with skills that is capable of matching all of their firepowers combined.

As the plot nears its end, Everyone realized that there was a threat in the "World" that they are in. Shadows appeared out of nowhere and resets everyone (Sucking their soul or something like that). The person continues to live of course but they seem strange and somewhat distant.

The final battle took place and it was as if they were fighting against God himself (of course that was not God himself). The Finale was really a tearjerker with everyone finding fulfillment in life and Moving on to the next life...

Another secret was revealed at the end of the show and Yuzuru confessed his feelings to Kanade. He begged her to stay and help him guide the lost souls who will enter the world. Actually, Kanade was still alive and only wandered to the "World" by accident. She is searching for the person that donated a heart for her. Yeah...Yuzuru was the heart donor and Kanade has his heart.




Well...just watch the last episode until the very end. You might see an unexpected surprise and of course, you decide on what the real ending is. For me, i would prefer something happy and most of you might choose the same.

LevelupLive Championship is tomorrow and i'll be at the World Trade Center by Lunch.

It's time to "Close the Curtain" and the fat lady is about to sing.
Phoenix might not play Levelup Games for a while since we decided to play internationally for a while.

But who knows? Phoenixians will always be Phoenixians and other people that carries our blood might lift the banner once again. Life is full of uncertainty and the only things that stands in their way is the courage to face life's adversity and step on the ladders of success, hardship and defeat...one step at a time.


Keep the Flames Burning!!

Too Slow and Too Fast for Comfort....

I thought that the week is going to start great. I had a date with my little sister last Monday and we just went around the mall to eat and chat and sing (in a booth). Tuesday changed everything and i almost went berserk. I won't get into the details but it is a very disappointing and stressful day for me. I took another day off at work and try to salvage the things that i need to save. Still, it was too late to do anything and there's nothing i can do about it.



My Genshiken hang over is slowly getting better and that is all thanks to Bakuman.
Bakuman is a story about two guys trying to become popular Mangakas.At first, the main character Moritaka Mashiro (Saiko) was drawing something at his notebook during class. He forgot it on the way home and goes back to pick it up. He found Akito Takagi (Takagi) alone in the classroom and he told him that he saw the drawing on his notebook.

This is where everything started. With a little pestering from Takagi, Saiko finally agrees to think about on being a mangaka. The story revolves around the two, doing their best to create a manga that will become an anime. There is a hidden agenda behind it and it was a very sweet story indeed. Saiko's crush Azuki Miho (Miho) wants to become a voice actress. They made a promise to each other to get married when they both fulfilled their dreams. Saiko having a manga serialized and turned into an anime and Miho being the voice actress of the heroine.

I was not dissapointed, the main characters had a hard time and there were a lot of obstacles along the way. The twists of the story was very nice and what really caught my attention is the "Rivalry" aka "Friendly Competition" between different Mangaka's (Manga Authors/Artists).

Thesecompetitions are very inspiring to read and it seems that each unique individual makes the story complete. New characters are continually added to the story and it makes everything more interesting. I'm very sensitive whenever i read a good story and i know that bakuman is a good story. I really look forward on the continuation of the series and hope that it will have a happy ending.



The person that introduced me to manga was my nephew. My initial thought about manga's are boring because unlike animes, they don't move. I was still young back then (my nephew was younger of course) and i was really hooked when i first read Mx0 (check manga sites for more details). The story was very nice and i like the twists. It's really good and i was a little disappointed when it came to an (abrupt) end.




Ever since then, i've read manga's and up till now i always get my "kicks" after a good story. My sister also love reading manga and we usually exchange good manga titles. It's a good thing that i am able to do something to keep my mind off things.
I know that things are going to be hard for me on the next few days. All i can do is grit my teeth and kick all the obstacles on my way.

Frustrating days up ahead...oh well

>___> *sighs*

Not too sick for Gosick =)

I am looking for new anime's and manga's to watch and read, when i happen to see the Manga (soon to be aired as anime) Gosick.Imagine seeing a very cute girl, small, elegant and looks like a doll from every angle...the thing is, she smokes on a pipe :O (Bad gurl =( ).

Yeah~ Gosick is about the story of a little sherlock homes that has the power to tap into the "Fountain of Knowledge". I get the feeling that she has the power to look back at the past (my opinion only). She uses her amazing deduction by patching up evidences, clues, and memories that helps in solving the case. She goes by the name Victorique de Blois "Victorica/Victorique") (wew classy >_>) and the guy who happens to have all the misgivings in a foreign country Kazuya Kujo (a japanese boy studying in a foreign country).

At first i thought that the story was cute, but then again "cuteness" is the main theme of the story. There were rumors that there is a fairy hiding on top of the library (Victorica) that helps solve cases in return for your soul. But, she will also settle for foreign snacks (cookies, cakes etc).

I can't help but remember an anime/manga that has the same sense as Gosick and that would be RosenMaiden.

RozenMaiden is a story about dolls made by the doll maker Rozen. They are able to move around due to contracts and the power of their Rosa Mystica's. These cute dolls are not just for show, they will battle it out until there is only one of them left and that doll will become the most perfect girl "Alice".



The similarities and style may be the same for the main characters "Victorica and Shinku". Both are so full of themselves and confident in everything that they do.

Gosick is going to be aired on January 2011 (at least, that is what i think). I look forward in watching the series and i hope that it will be interesting and funny as well.

Thinking of making Manga/Anime Reviews

Well, I won't deny that Genshiken is 90% responsible for this "wanting to make manga/anime review mood swing" of mine. I really felt good when i managed to say a few things about the anime here and there. I think i might post similar posts after i read a manga or watched an anime. We'll see what happens next, till then i need to quickly get over Genshiken xD!

It really is a P in the A >_>
can't get over it.

Can't get over Genshiken >__>

It really is funny, the first time i saw this manga was at least 2 years ago. I didn't read it at that time because i have so many manga's in my list and i completely forgot it until now. I was made aware of its existence when i was browsing one of my favorite manga sites and i saw it flash on the list. At first, i clicked it just to see what it is. Then i remembered seeing the same manga a few years ago.

Since i was resting from my online job "at that time" I just wanted to kill some time and said to myself "Why not?". Before i knew it, i was clicking page over page...and finishing it straight in 2 days. I don't know what to say. The characters and plot may not seem interesting to other people, but to me it had a "great impact". I don't occasionally read manga's that have the "slice of life" feature, but reading them once in a while felt really good.

Before i knew it, i was addicted to the story and i watched the anime version as well. The anime was good, it strictly followed the manga and I spent the whole day watching season 1 and season 2. It was messy, it was funny, it was crazy and most of all, sometimes i just don't know what to say.

My reason for writing now is to release all that tension in my head. I really don't know why, but unless i write it down I might not get over it. As I was doing my work, i can't help but think about the story and i'm not being productive per se~
Seriously, this is probably the second time this happened to me and i really just need to "Write it down".

I really fell in love with one of the characters and she goes by the name Ogiue. I remembered from way back then, that i really like the "tomboy type" girls and wanted to have one as my Girlfriend. But then again, i guess that is really hard to find in the real world. A possibility of a matchup like that is probably 2%. Still, the show managed to catch my interest and I'm probably one of the thousand (if not millions) of people that is happy that the manga is continued. I just hope that there is hope for a season 3. I mean, there is still a lot left unfinished and it has been....3 years since Genshiken has been sleeping.

I really need to start writing on my work now and i think I'm feeling better. Writing down this stuff helped me calm my nerves. More importantly, i think it will still take me a couple of days to recover from the manga/anime.

LU live is just around the corner and i really want to see the Phoenixians go all out and win the championship. Whether we win or Lose it's alright, The most important thing is the time we spent together and the things we did together.

For now let me say this...I jsut can't get over Genshiken....Damn it! ~__~

Back to work...and time to write some articles.



Keep the Flames Burning.

The End of the Beginning...and the Beginning of one Thing

September has been a great month and it was very exciting indeed. A lot happened and let me tell you just a few. Phoenix finally had the chance of going to LevelUp live for the Championship of Rohan Online (which is of course, i am a member of the clan). We also had a few discussions here and there and we finally decided that it is time to fly and challenge ourselves in a new game. We decided to try Aika Global (An international Online game with a lot of players) to test our skills and our wills.

We also enjoyed quality time with each other (The Guild) in a Resort in Bulacan (A place in the Philippines). Goodbyes are really hard to do because as you know, it is hard for those that will leave...and those that is left behind.

Phoenix has grown into something that was almost deemed impossible a few years ago.
A dream of a single individual and supported by many.
Dreams can be turned into realities, Just extend your hand and grab the opportunity.
People will hate you, will love you, will respect you and will humiliate you.
But through it all, without a doubt.
You will find others that share the same commitment and them alone will make you proud.

My rantings in this post is not just for show, It is my feeling when sparks fly and neon lights glow. I hope that someday there will come a time.
When our light will shine brightest and be known for all time.
Till that fateful day arrives, I will tell you this.
Don't be afraid to Lose, Don't be Afraid to Fall.
The sweetest of victories will be achieved after the Fall.
Pride is a sin and is a curse.
Everyone has it, will fight for it, will even die for it.
I am no exemption and that is true.
This place i hold now, those people that i knew.
I hope that happiness and sadness will see them through.

To those that will still follow the winds that we ride.
Support the feathers and help us in our flight.
The people around you might tell you this.
With the left i will hold you,
With the right i will protect you
The rest i will leave it all to you.

With all the things i said, and all that i will ever say.
Thank you for everything and for making us stay.
The world goes round and from the top you will go bottom.
Rise up, Fly up and move forward to tomorrow.
Just like the Phoenix in its flight in the skies,
Take the challenge and all that will rise.
Make your stand and endure the defeat.
It is bitter and painful but is needed to succeed.

A new chapter may had been written,
a new story has been told.
But, rest assured there are still a lot left untold.
I will ask you to be patient,
For i will tell you with patience.
The tale on which Phoenixians only Know.

Keep the Flames Burning.

When Skills and Wills Collide!

I turned a year older this month and i appreciated the lessons that i had learned in that precious one year of my life. My birthday wish for myself is a little different this year. I wish for happiness for my family and success in whatever we do. Not to mention good health and stronger bonds for another year. I didn't bake a cake for myself, but i did make something. Not as extravagant but nevertheless a mouthful. Improvement and constant change is something that i do not welcome so readily. It takes time to accept and enough "space" to think it through. Well you shouldn't dwell too much about it, as you know I'm a little bit crazy and that is all you should know.

I define the word stupid for every person i face, of course i am no exemption. Grown ups are still kids deep down inside. You become an adult when you started to know the word "Responsibility". Adulthood and maturity doesn't start when you grow hairs, change the tone of your voice, become more intelligent and develop muscles. It is how you perceive life and what you think is right or wrong.

Right or wrong, True or False, Left or Right are very interesting topics. You will continuously ask yourself what is right? what is wrong? If we know that it is wrong, then why do we still do it? Simple questions and yet there are no simple answers. Men and Women have subjected to ask themselves on what they want in the future. It is easy to say, I want to be a lawyer, an engineer, a doctor, a pilot. But in time, this childish dreams get a taste of "reality" and reality is something that can be really hurt you. It can slap you, punch you and at times can destroy your dreams.

But enough of that Philosophical talk. Your only obligation is to do what you want in life. Be it right or wrong, do what you must.

I have long argued with myself about the consequences that my actions had done through the years. I know i made a lot of mistakes and i know why i made those mistakes. All i can wish for is that i would not make those same mistakes again.

My stupidity is Legendary, so is my sense of humor. My imagination knows no bounds and my hands and fingertips have their limits. Writing has been my passion and doing things i like make it possible. Now I face a dilemma, my fingers and hands are feeling that tingling sensation already. Not a good sign and something i don't want to happen so soon. But, i know that there is always a way around things.

Because "God places the heaviest burden to those that can carry its Weight".
I know that if my mind can conceive it, my heart can believe it, I will definitely...and without a doubt achieve it.

"Now as i look upon the fiery colors of red,
I make sure that my mind is not read.
For the better or worse of this dilemma,
My answer will be known throughout the millennia.
I will choose the path that I will take,
i know that my future is at stake.
Walk with me and you soon will see,
The things i want will belong to me."



I will also change the song list and add better ones.
Enjoy everyone ^^,
Keep the Flames Burning

Seiyuu Powah! O_O!

As much as you know i am an anime Fan, just like almost everyone that appreciates anime. K-On! had been one of the anime series that i had been watching for quite some time now, and i was surprised to see a live performance of them. The funny thing about this type of concert is that the "Seiyuu" or voice actors themselves were playing the instruments of their respective character. Everyone knows that they are not experts in wielding this instruments but the effort that they showed is enough for their fans. You can watch the video here K-ON Live Concert Fuwa Fuwa Time!

I really enjoyed it, and i hope that the future Musical themed Anime's will do the same. On different topic, i really enjoyed reading the book about the Earth's Last days. I am currently on Book IV "Soul Harvest" and it is really interesting. I can't consider myself as very religious and the likes, but i do appreciate a good story. The salesgirl told me that this book have 12 series, and i am planning to get them all. the first 4 books that i have is Left Behind, Tribulation Force, Nicolae "The Rise of the Anti Christ", and Soul Harvest. I would like recommend this to anyone that is looking for something nice and interesting to read.

My experiment on food stores and cooking recipe's had been a good one so far. I'm learning a few things here and there and doing it in my own leisure. It may not be perfect at times but still very tasty. I really enjoyed cooking experiments, i put aside baking for now. I still love to bake, but i'm having less time to do it. The usual things come and go and I hope that new things will poke me in due time.

For now that is all i can share to you guys.
Have a great week and Keep the Flames Burning!

"What does Commander Kangaroo has to say?
HEY! Thats Supreme Commander Kangaroo for you Mister!"

lolx~ something from the book about the Earth's last day, totally unexpected and funny when the right mood strikes you.

Myself Yourself and anything in Between

I know it's a little early for my monthly blog, but inspiration struck me and i have no choice but to write it down. While i was roaming the net (like i always do) i stumbled upon this song on youtube "Myself;Yourself". I may not look like it, but i do appreciate Music. I prefer soothing and mellow music. Don't get me wrong, i don't go to musicals and theater but when i really like what i hear, i really like what i hear. There can be no other explanation (no matter how confusing my explanation might seem to you). I also watched the anime, the genre is "slice of life".

While the main character's face might be the most common face used in all the anime's that you've probably watched before. The story is very interesting and involves a lot of twists. Over all its "SO~SO" but what really got my attention is the characters. They are all unique (of course every anime does), it is hard to explain. I guess you just have to watch it to understand me. While i deal with my daily routines, stumbling upon something new is a good thing. Hey! I'm not writing an anime review or synopsis here (well maybe ~_~). The point is that, it makes a good monthly start right? I really want to write at least 2-3 posts every month. But i guess when inspiration strikes, it's not that often.

I consider my blog as a diary of sorts, a monthly diary to be exact. A diary that only tells important things that happened to me on that day, a week before and even future things that might happen. Forgive me if I'm a little lazy when it comes to posting, i'll try to make 2-3 posts starting this month (No Promises, i said I'll just try).

I'm currently reading the books about the "Earth's Last Days", Written by Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. I'm only at the first book "Left Behind". It is a very interesting read, and i think I'm gonna collect the whole series. Work has been normal, aside from returned articles and revisions on re-writes. I'm trying to improve myself and reaching out to things that i haven't done before. I believe that everyone is capable of doing things as long as they want it done. Motivation and determination keeps our passion burning. Well for now that is all i can share, hopefully I'll be able to write again by next weekend.

Until then i hope you have a great week.

Let me post a quote that I've used in one of my recent articles.
I found this on the internet and it is quite funny and true.
and i would love to share it to you guys.
"Do not ever take life seriously, No one gets out alive anyway".

Till my next post then ^__^

Dreams of an Anime Lover

I had been watching anime's for as long as i can remember. I just started reading manga for the past 3 years. I had been to anime cosplays (no i didn't join them) and watched as certain bands play anime songs. Probably one of the most common and simplest dreams of all will be to visit Japan (of course). But me, personally i want to at least experience an Anime Concert. I happen to watch one of those in youtube, one of my most favorite songs Happy Material from Mahou Sensei Negima. Don't ask me what kind of anime it is.

It's sad to say i didn't see any K-ON Live Concerts on Animelo (since it just recently started). I hope i would be able to see and feel this type of concert with my own eyes. I guess i better start saving money and go to their anime convention next year. A pilgrimage of shorts (babaw noh?), I'm sure you would understand if you are an anime fan. There is nothing special about it, just something you want to do in a whim.

As for now what else? I'm thinking of doing a lot of things, but i don't know where to start. One of my Agenda's is to pig out on different food chains, outlets this year. Ohohohoho~ I just want to have a taste of everything (since I'm a lover of good food). Well it's almost my birthday and i feel like I'm getting old (I just feel, i refuse to acknowledge that fact! at least not yet ^3^). I'm probably going to bake another cake (which i'm sure will be somewhere between brownies and pudding). Pizza's actually are easier to make. You just pound them into submission xD!

Halfway through the year and its Christmas again, times flies so i guess we should make the best of Life. You'll never know when were going to leave this world and i don't want to have any regrets.

Oh yeah~ i plan to buy a lot of fantasy books as well. I'm running out of ideas in my line of work. I applied as an article writer and everyday has been hell. No, to make it simple everyday is a deadline. Work for the day must be finished in 5-6 hours so that everyone will be happy.

Like my boss said
"Don't believe of everything you hear at making "Easy" Money Online. It requires hard work, persistence and dedication. The rest is just Luck or Bull$hit!"
Well, i have to agree. It might seem easy, but it is a lot harder than you think it is. But still, i get to earn money while i'm at home so its pretty convenient.
Anyways, for the time being i bid you a good week and hope to see rainy days ahead.
