A little bit of Happy Feet


3 days ago, me and some of my friends went to watch Happy Feet 2. I haven't watched Happy Feet 1 and i got the impression that all I am going to see are a lot of singing and dancing.

The movie was quite nice and there were times when i had to stifle a laugh every now and then. It was beyond my expectations and I felt really good after watching the movie. It might had been because of my mood that i was able to get 5 hours of sleep, when i got back home. Then 2 days after that I only got 1-2 hours of sleep again.

Well, I am not feeling anything wrong with my body (which proves that it has adapted) and my breathing seems to be fine too. Well, that is all about my rant for today's post and it's now time to give a review about the Ongoing anime's on my list.

First up is HxH (Hunter x Hunter)...

As you may already know, this manga/anime has been dormant for quite a few years because the author has always been...uhh...always been on HIATUS. Yes, even though many years has passed the popularity of Hunter x Hunter didn't fade. In fact, i think the oldies (old generation) who watched the anime years ago, are quite excited on the changes that has been made.




Yes, to those that didn't know about this...the current ongoing Anime Hunter x Hunter is a remake. The drawings has improved a lot and the bloody scenes are less bloody (actually, no blood at all).

So we start with the story about a little boy named "GON" who wants to follow his father's footsteps and become a hunter. He met friends along the way namely Leorio, Kurapica and Killua. These group of friends became very close and frankly, i am very intrigued on how the "Chimera arch" will be portrayed.

To those that didn't know about this particular arch, it is the next arch after Greed Island. This is were Gon and Killua went all out against a new species that threatens the Human Race. It is an all out war against Ants vs Hunters in a battle of supremacy. Well that is all that i can tell you guys and i think it is something to watch out for, if the current anime series will continue to air until next year.

Have a Great week everyone and till next time!!

One of those Blessed Nights


This past week, aside from my sleep wake cycle getting broken every now and then, everything was fine. It's really hard to get things done, when you are always feeling tired and yet you can't seem to catch that very much needed sleep.

Now i am trying to read untranslated Manga's and it was like going back to step 1.
Yeah, i was like A--PP--L-E, B-AN-ANA. It was such a funny feeling, this baby talk of mine was something that i never expected to happen. Sure, i don't have any problems when reading short sentences but things start to change, when you finally do something you want to do.

Well anyways, i just can't help but go back to the basics once again and i think that it is something worth doing. Now aside from learning a few words here and there, i think reading something with pictures will help me connect the dots (or so to speak).

Very much like a picture book, manga's allow the reader to grasp the story just by looking at the pictures. I always (ALWAYS) only read translated manga's and reading RAW ones is quite a challenge. Still, with my handy dandy japanese dictionary beside me and my will to learn the language, I'm sure I'll manage one way or the other.

Well, no Manga/Anime reviews for this week but I'll post a comment about some Ongoing anime's as of late.

Till Then...

Going back to Zero in the middle of the Night



There were times when i have difficulty in breathing, but this happens for only a brief period of time. It was my first time to experience shortness of breath for 2 consecutive days (every sec of every minute). My breathing has been quite heavy during those two days and it gave me enough reason once again to see the doctor.

After running some tests, he asked me to take the ECG test(electrocardiogram). He said that my lungs and heart seems normal and he added that i might have over-exerted myself in doing something. Well, it did happen 2 hours after i did the laundry last week and i was gasping for air before i knew it.

He said that all i need to get is some rest (which is, as you know almost an impossibility in my condition). I just sucked it up and went home feeling a little better knowing that it wasn't due to my heart nor lungs. Yeah, i know that it is just connected to my sleep/wake problem.

Well anyways, since the problem has been diagnosed and i am back to ZERO, when it comes to having a good nights rest.

Well, my rant ends here and i will now talk about the Ongoing anime series which is Fate Zero.

As you may already be aware of, Fate Zero is the PREQUEL of Fate Stay Night. A battle between Masters and their Servants for the Holy Grail (which can grant you any wish you desire).

Saber also known as Arturia (King Arthur) is the legendary King of Knights and is considered as the strongest servant in the story. Of course we have 3 kings on Fate Zero and that is Gilgamesh (King of Kings) and Alexander (King of Conquerors). Now, i do have my favorite servants in the story and that is the Berserker Class and the Rider Class (which is Alexander).

The Berserker Class is so freaking awesome! Oh btw, this part was played by Hercules on Fate Stay Night and right now, i don't have any idea about the identity of the Berserker Class in Fate Zero. The Rider Class in Fate Stay Night wasn't anything special, actually you can say that she wasn't given any justice in the story.

However, that all changed in Fate Zero on which the Rider class plays a very funny and important role. Whenever i see this muscle guy and his antics (especially the last episode, on which he bought something online) i really laughed at that notion.

Anyways, the story is progressing quite smoothly and I am waiting in anticipation for the next episode. For me, Fate Zero is one of the best addition in the anime's that is currently aired this season.




Well, i like fantasy stories and perhaps when i am able to accomplish the things that i need to do. Who knows, i might be watching my own story being animated in 2-4 years from now xD!

Well anyways, i can dream can't I?

Till Next time!
