Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi

I’m in love with this manga.

Although I sometimes feel a bit irritated with the protagonist Onodera Ritsu’s insistence that he has no feelings for Takano Masamune, but then that is just my impatience talking. I guess you cannot hurry love after all.

I also feel that the side characters’ stories also help with me not feeling bored with the manga, their stories are also cute! Although sometimes I kind of want to find out more about Ritsu and Takano before the mangaka finds it necessary to switch to another character’s storyline. But I guess that’s the way to make us hunger for more. Wise mangaka!

I know I’m pretty late with this, but I just finished watching episode 5 of the anime. So many “kyaa!” moments, it’s a good thing I’m alone in my room right now. I’m currently wasted due to severe heart palpitations!

I find it a little hard watching at first, because the colors of the anime was so light I sometimes find it hard distinguishing features. I don’t know if it’s because of my computer’s setting, whatever, I got used to it so it’s ok.

I am soo in love with Takano Masamune right about now!

IPad 2

My sis and I bought a new one just last month, although she doesn’t get to use it very often because of work. I, on the other hand, uses it a lot! I wake up and it’s the second thing I look for (the first is my glasses). I use it even while eating. Yup, that’s how crazy I am at the moment. What do I use it for? Need you ask?

To read manga, of course! And it’s very convenient for me. I could read while lying on my bed, sitting at Starbucks or Seattle’s Best, basically everywhere I go I bring it along with me!

Well, anyway, christmas had come and gone. This year I don’t think I enjoyed it very much.    I wasn’t the one who decorated the house, I ended up delegating my gift shopping. I think I was in “hibernation”, and woke up just in time to see christmas come to an end. I hope next year would be better. In the meantime, there’s the celebration for the new year to look forward to.

I wasn’t able to complete Simbang Gabi. Part of me is pretty disappointed about it because then I will not be able to make a wish. Pretty stupid and selfish of me to attend mass for that reason, I know. But I tried it once and by some coincidence my wish came true. And I was hoping to make another one this year. Well, I guess it was not meant to be.

I’ve decided that instead of making a wish and hoping it will come true, I WILL MAKE IT COME TRUE FOR ME. I thought about it, and really, my wish is attainable, if only I have the fortitude to see it through to the end.

Now my goal is clear for the new year. I am hoping that through hard work and perseverance, I will get my reward.

Good luck, me…

Brainwashed!!!

Remember the time I mentioned that due to my reading manga my preference for a guy changed? From liking a guy to be well-built (rrripped!) to liking a skinny guy? Yeah, that happened. I realize something weird when I started to give a second look to a lanky guy in a mall. I caught myself having a second look, and totally felt mystified why I’m doing so. I now pointed to manga as the cause of all that. Because most heroes in the manga are lanky, skinny guy and because I’m easily influenced, I became attracted to that kind of guy. Sheesh!

Now here’s the weird part. Yesterday at another mall, I saw two guys who are obviously a couple (holding hands) and I was absolutely thrilled about it! Darn it! That’s not how I usually react to a gay couple. But there’s no question about it! It happened twice, with different couples but definitely having the same reaction from me! It was a definite “kyaa!” moment for me there.

That, I attributed to the fact that I’m reading a lot of yaoi manga at the moment.

Sigh… I realized a very serious fact about me. I’m so easily influenced by what I read that I have to be careful about what I read!

But, I’m still going to read yaoi manga. There’s no law that says I can’t be happy seeing gay couples, right?

Hahaha! I’m really weird! It will take a lot of guts for some guy to like me this way! =)
