UN-happy ending!

Current music: And lift up your head,
                     Oh, the night's long and lonely,
                     And nothing's the same when you're gone. 


I hate sudden endings. End of story.


See what I mean? No explanation, no reasons, no nothing. Just that. And I really especially hate sudden endings in  manga because let’s face it, who likes to wait for nothing right? You waited faithfully every week or even months for a new (ahem) scanlated chapter to come out and then suddenly after all of the waiting you've done it’s ending like everything’s a joke. I think that one of the suckiest endings of all time in manga universe is Yankee-kun to Megane-chan / Flunk Punk Rumble. I was like...WTF WAS THIS SHIT!? Now, I LOVE that series, don't get me wrong. I mean it's a great manga and it would have been fine if they just cancelled it and leave the rest of the series open to let the readers make their own ending as how they'll see fit. But when the people who decided that this fantastic series need to be cancelled immediately which leads to that horrible, crappy, disastrous, whatever ending, it makes me want to turn into a frickin’ Godzilla and terrorize the whole world. Seriously. What a crap. I truly despise rushed/sudden endings. That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening to my pain.

May the 5th Be with You!

Currently... : I'm fighting with these super annoying mosquitoes. 
Current location: My soon to be demolished hostel room.
Current music:


 I've been long, a long way from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
And drank til I was thirsty again
Star Wars day was yesterday, but I think that everyday should be a Star Wars day! :)

Hello folks! Yes, it's that time of the year again! Say whaat??
I've finished yet another semester today! Wuhuu!!

And what a lovely feeling it is! 4 months of pure unadulterated holiday fun and goodness! FUN FUN FUN FUN!

O yeah, I am OBSESSED with Kamio Yoko's work as of lately. Yea, she's famous for creating Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) manga series, but to be honest, I never really read that one. It's the other works from her that I'm crazy about. Cat Street and Matsuri Special. You have to check these two manga out. Got me hooked to the last chapter in one sitting...


Cat Street
Matsuri Special
There's also a Cat Street live action drama made but I heard it's not so good, so I won't recommend it since I've never watch it myself too. But personally, I always prefer the manga rather than live action. Hehe...

Aaannd I also get myself this wonderful book during the Book Festival last week. I know I'm late but there's a discount so I finally can get my hand on this one. :P

Yeah, I got this version of my Eat, Pray, Love book cover. I love it! Unfortunately, haven't seen the movie yet! How lame am I?

君に届け...

Currently... : my business is growing strong...café world is very addictive indeed.
Current location: same as always, in front of the pc.
Current music: When you came in the air went out And every shadow filled up with doubt...

I am absolutely 100% a manga addict. I don't know who's to blame for that. Hmm...probably my brother. He liked to read manga then. I remember when we were kids, I used to read manga like all the time. My first manga is probably Doraemon. And then, I was introduced to Dragonball and there was no turning back since. I'm a manga whore! I have like a whole bookshelf dedicated for my precious manga collection. Yes, I'm a manga collector – Dragonball, Sailormoon, Chibi Maruko chan, Doraemon, plus a bunch of many other various Shonen & Shoujo mangas. I'm still a manga addict now, but I hardly ever bought any these days. Its tough (and depressing) being a student with no income you know. I wish I could buy manga anytime I want. Luckily, these days many sites offer manga download/reading for free, so I won't have to buy them. Series like Naruto, Bleach, Claymore, One piece, Gintama... and now, I have a whole hard disk dedicated for manga.... "-_-)


Right now, I'm reading Kimi ni Todoke (From Me to You). It's a shoujo manga by Shīna Karuho, but I'm guessing that boys are also 'allowed' to read it since it's not too mushy or overly lovey-dovey love story or anything like that. I bet a lot of boys do read this manga, I think... Highly recommended for those who wishes for something new and refreshing. I enjoy reading it. And for once, I don't have a hard time liking the main girl character because usually the main character for shoujo manga was...well...unlikeable? Or just very hard to like at first. And the story was also different as it's not simply like boy meets girl, then they fall in love, have a little misunderstanding, and quickly resolve it then have a happy ending...totally nothing like that at all.


Well the story is about Kuronema Sawako, a girl who people at her school were afraid of because she resembles the girl from The Ring – Sadako (Samara), and she was also called Sadako because of it. There's this funny synopsis written that says, "Sawako is the perfect heroine – for a horror movie..." But of course she's nothing like a ghost. She's actually very sweet and naive. And she's incredibly dense (but extremely cute when she's in her dense/naive mode)! Sheesh! You have to read it to know more, and I promise you, you won't regret it! :D And I also adore the main guy character, Kazehaya Shouta...He's cute! – and have a very big heart! Sounds like the kind of guy I would hope for! Hehehe... There's also the anime version of it and if you would like to watch it, then go here.
