Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.... ^__^


I've always said that i love the rainy season because of various things that happened in the past. That thought hasn't changed even now and whenever this season is at its fullest, i remember the days when i was still young and enjoying the times when our classes get suspended *ebil grin*.

But of course, my love for this season is not because of the petty reason of suspended classes nor getting long naps in the afternoon. It's more like the symbolic meaning of rain (at least to me). It washes everything and life starts anew.

I'm glad that my friend's operation went well and she is currently recovering from her ordeal. Having a spinal injury is not something that should be taken lightly and hopefully she will be able to walk again, once she fully recovers. Life sure is unpredictable and whenever you think that you have everything planned out for the best, lady fate (being the fickle lady that she is) has a way of telling you that "I don't think so" or "Not happening my Dear".

Still, i love that fickle lady because she has a way of cheering you up, when she's in the mood for it. So please lady fate, by all means smile on me and may everything work out before this year is over.

No anime reviews for this week guys, but expect my long waited list of anime's that will be coming out this July.

Till next time...

Ohana and the Possibility of Controling Deadman Wonderland

For this week's anime review, i will be sharing with you the anime's that I am currently watching over the past few weeks. Hanasaku no Iroha, C The Money of Soul and Possibility Control and Deadman Wonderland.. Mind you, I'm not giving you guys a full review of this anime's because these series are not yet finished. I just wanted to share some of my thoughts about them and "maybe" you would find interest and watch them to >:P

Well let's start with Hanasaku Iroha first.



This anime is actually pretty cute if your into some "intriguing spice of life series" because this show mostly got all of those points covered. From "ecchi" to heart warming scenes, Iroha got them all and i believe that this is the best among the new batch of anime's that had been released this year. Personally, it's my favorite among them and i just can't help but smile whenever I'm watching this series. Somehow seeing her doing embarassing things tickles my heart and the story is unexpectedly good "for a simple setting". You just can't get enough of Ohana xD!

The next one is C The Money of Soul and Possibility Control. Now this one is certainly interesting in more ways than one.



In a hidden world where money flows like water and the only capital that you have to invest is your future, sounds good? Well it might be for some people. Imagine yourself having more than enough money that you can spend in your lifetime. I bet that anyone would jump on that opportunity and do the things that they had never done in their life. Of course, this only works if you win in "Deals" (duels) in the financial district. All glory and money goes to the victor and the loser loses his/her future. So what does they lose exactly? What is their future's worth? Some of the people who lost in the story lost some things that are important to them. They lost their family, dreams,friends, business and even the simple pleasures that they have in life. That is what the financial district takes as the collateral for the money that they receive from the system and for the losers, things are harder than they can ever imagine. This duels also have an effect on reality and even the minor ones seems to have the power to change everything in their surroundings. I digress, this anime may not be for everyone but i do believe that it is one worth watching.

Deadman Wonderland on the other hand is your typical, demented, crazy, bloody kind of show.




Prisoners are taken to a Privately owned Prison which is also an amusement park that attracts people from all over the country. In this prison, the prisoners are made to participate in games that may cause them to lose their lives. However, there is a far more sinister show that is being held in the inner part of the Deadman Wonderland Prison and it is better known as the "Carnival of Corpses". In this place, people that has the power to control their blood or also known as "DeadMen" battle each other and win points that serves as the currency in the prison. Well it's not like " Money of Soul and Possibility Control" because this one has its own type of punishment for the loser. The roulette decides on what body part will be taken from the prisoner if they lose their match. I'm sure that this show holds more juicy tidbits than what i had already seen and I hope that things will continue to be more interesting in the next few weeks to come.

That's it for this week and i hope that you guys had a great weekend.

Till next time...

Equivalent Exchange? I Certainly Hope Not!




I had been doing my best to take care of my "dilemma" for the past few days since my last post here in my blog. I'm glad that the heat therapy that i am doing at the moment seems to be working and the pain is more tolerable compared to what it was before. I just hope that if i keep this up, the pain will go away completely (which is not likely to happen...but still >_< ).

Certain things had been happening as of late and i don't know whether they are good or bad. My mom started to work once again after a few months of resting from her surgery and i hope that she'll be able to handle the stress and problems that she has has left behind, while she was away from work. My sister is also busy with her job and i certainly wish that she's doing well with her work....or else *snicker*.

It's funny how the timing for my fingers had coincided with my sister landing a job and my mother going back to work. Sometimes i think about it as equivalent exchange? hahaha (Full metal alchemist? xD!. In return for my hands and fingers, my mom's surgery went well and my sister is finally taking her first steps in society. Still, it sucks not being able to do the things that i usually do and it's very depressing.

I know that i had been unusually blessed because i haven't encountered too much hardship in life. Everything that i needed has always been given to me and i sometimes i find contentment in having those simple pleasures in life. Whenever something bad happens to me, i immediately think of it as a blessing in disguise. That has been my mentality ever since i was a kid and i do believe that "it holds true" (at least in my case).

Yeah~ This is a blessing in disguise and i know that something special Will definitely happen in the future. Will post an anime review this weekend, I'm getting there but not good enough.

Till then =)
