Well, I’m feeling crappy but then, I’m typing emails and entries to forget that I’m feeling crappy. I already got the gown and I will try it tonight. Hopefully, I will be able to hide the wounds and other unsightly things growing on my body. ^^;
I researched and it seem that I’m already at the 22nd episode of Spiral so that means, I can still watch the last episode. There are no summary sites and the official Japanese site where I got the info just ended there.
I had finished reading WA! as the last volume would be continued in the near future. Well, like most shoujo, they each got a partner and it is heading for a conclusion. Actually, it reminded me of Delicious! ^^; In One Piece, the skypiea arc is ending. Luffy beat Eneru and has rung the bell. I haven’t seen the scans yet. I wonder what would be the next arc about. The author will take a rest before the 300th chapter. They say there might be a colored spread. Mm..I think they have a second artbook already. There is a Bleach colored spread in Jump. I like. ^-^
There is this e-book coming out from Japan which is like a palm pilot but have a page book scanned. The sample was a manga – Lupin III. The service will be given through the net by plugging the device to the computer. Mm...one advantage is that it will save the trees and well, less book space.

Mm...it seems that Spiral will not end yet. I will miss two episodes of it if it is still running on Tuesday. On Monday, we will stay in the hotel already. I was planning to pass it up but then, it isn’t everyday that I get to sleep at a high-class hotel and it might be the last so I might as well go. In Spiral, Rio, Kousuke and Ryoko confronted the police chief and ended being trapped. ^^; Eyes decided to help them and so did, Ayumu but he ended up not doing anything. They manage to confront the chief again and it seem that Kanone is one of the assassins. I’m not so sure. I haven’t memorized their Chinese names yet. The trio was shocked and it seem that Eyes knew it already. The next episode would be more on reflecting of the characters.
Naruto – the test to be a ninja reminds me of the tests in HxH to be a hunter. The proctor then asked those who know that they will fail should quit or else, pay the consequences for failing. A few had quit and Naruto was tempted to but resisted it for he doesn’t want to give up. It turned out to be a test to show one’s perseverance and creativity to cheat without getting caught or rather think of a way out. Next, a woman came and tried to make a grand entrance as the next proctor. She reminded me of the second proctor in Hxh, which asked them to make sushi. Back to the story, they went out to see a huge tree, which she called the forest of death.

I might end up getting tagboard and bear the spams. ^^; For now, it is down but then, there are few entries there the last few days. I’m cheating with another website as to put color in it and other stuff. Basically, I’m copying. ^^;;
The red bumps in the head are still there so no hope for being pretty in sis’ wedding. ^^;; There is now an allergy near my nose. Great, just great...sigh. I would try my best to avoid the cameras. Anyway, it is a good thing that I would not read anything during the church since my voice is quite hoarse already. I’m losing my voice. The last time that happened which was at its worst was in third year high school. I totally lost my voice and as it was returning, I sounded like a boy. ^^; Well, tomorrow, sis will be sending most of her stuff to her fiancé’s house as according to the tradition.
Spiral is already at its twenty-fourth episode, if I saw it correctly and I immediately searched as to how long this thing is, and it ends with the twenty-fifth. I was thinking that it might end on sis’ wedding and I might not be able to watch. ^^;
Ban: Weirdo.
So, it seems that this anime will leave a lot of things hanging like where the heck is Kiyotaka and what happened to him. What’s happening so far is Kousuke tried to find the assassin himself but got himself trapped that Ryoko, with the help of Ayumu and Hiyono, saved him. Then, the police was immediately in the scene. The chief seems to know a lot of things and it was revealed that he was the head of the assassins. He tried to discourage Ayumu about helping the Blade Children. Kanone with the others except for Eyes plan to get back at the assassin. Ayumu and Madoka fought since Ayumu was hiding things to her and Madoka met with Kanone.
In the news last night, they asked people as to why they register or validate as to why they do. Most including me, is for the id and to my dismay, the news said that sorry, it will not come. They had no funds and it seems that even if you didn’t validate/register, you can still vote. The news ended it, so the falling in line was just a waste of time. ^^;; There are still a lot of rallies around even though the impeachment was said to be unconstitutional. There is a lot of social unrest as the economy kept on plunging with the many bad things that are happening here. If the election for 2004 is a failure, there would be more chaos. What can we do but hope for the best.

Nothing much happening on my side since I’m feeling a bit tired after that sick period. As I wrote before, it always take time – a lot of it – before I could fully recover.
About Eternity, let me clarify the plot. There is a curse on the two future lovers for if they become together, the Dark Moon period will come. Two clans of some guy are at odds as to deal with it. One wants the children killed while the other clan wants to wait first. Later on, somehow, the boy child wasn’t killed and the girl became some sort of spirit serving this spider woman who has a nice red costume. Just as I thought, PA isn’t being shown anymore. No wonder they had shown the full ending before. ^^; But then, maybe it was pre-empted. hehehe
In Spiral, they met with Kanone. Okay, it seem that the flashbacks before with Eyes are with Kanone and not Kiyotaka. My mistake. Kousuke said that he is a genius and a dark angel. There is lots of talk then a blond girl in episode 2 before with a grandfather was hunted by an assassin. Ayumu and Eyes managed to save her with the help of some mysterious guy. The assassin was killed when the box with the bomb was switched.
HnG is in the part when Hikaru decided to play again. It is near where Asher left the story off. In Yugioh, Kaiba and the other guy is still fighting. In OP, it is about encountering people with small umbrellas on their heads. ^^; They are still trying to re-group with Ace.
PS. Ah, it seemed that the tagboard is having problems. ^^;;

I researched a bit on Eternity: The Chinese Ghost Story and it seemed that the Eternity was just invented to make it easier for the people to remember the title. It is more complicated than I thought but the basic plot is there are still two children who would be born and would be lovers that they have some power, which some evil villains needed. The review was saying about it reminding him/her of the late Leslie Cheung. I suddenly remembered having seen that movie. The part was when the guy was in a bathtub when the girl came to give him a kiss beneath the water. It was a classic. This will have a special one hour premiere then on the next day, there will be a special on Jerry Yan’s visit. I was thinking what show did they remove to accommodate this. It might be PA since the ad said, Eternity is after Yugioh.
I also searched a bit on Satorare and as I suspected, it was based on a manga, according to a review. And, the thing is he is a genius. The question is would you want to be a genius but have all of your thoughts heard by everyone? I forgot the title the reviewer gave to me. Anyway, I really like this series. The episodes are heartwarming and funny. The actor was really good at being funny and almost like an anime character like bouncing on the wall as he tried to figure out if the girl had a boyfriend – that is was actually cute and not corny.
In Gundam Seed, it was more fighting and Kira is doing badly but then, he is fighting against four gundams. Athrun and Kira chatted a bit as to why they are at the other side. Athrun learned his mother had the other side’s blood while Kira is fighting to protect his friends. Kira’s mother ship is in trouble but it was a good thing that Mwu[?] managed to get a crack at the enemy ship and Kira’s mother ship had severely damaged it. Kira lost all his energy and was about to be killed by Yzak when Athrun saved him and said that he is going to bring Kira to their base. Mwu rescued him and Kira managed to get a new power pack and blasted Yzak’s gundam’s arm. They retreated and Yzak is extremely angry with Anthrun. Mwu tried to encourage and cheer Kira up.
Well, the Taiwanese channel did show this year’s OP movie. I still like the second one but this one is okay. They are after some money courtesy of Nami. A little kid got inside their ship trying to kill them but they managed to get her on their side and help her save her grandfather. The main enemy was a green gel ex-marine and it was only Luffy who showed his fighting skills here.

My culture result came out yesterday and it was positive with whatever germs it was which usually occurs on the skin. Muraki said that it is because the kidney meds making my immune system weak and I guess it weakened more with this cold. It is already a week and I’m not completely well. It is improving very, very slowly.
I’m beginning to re-discover some j-pop songs which kept on repeating in Jet ch. Too bad that some of the titles are translated into Chinese so I have no way of knowing the title. There was this Do as Infinity song. I like the cartoon mtv of Ayumi Hamasaki – Connected. There is no story – huge globes kept on falling and producing cities. I somewhat think it had a sexual meaning to it. ^^; They showed classic Globe songs since they had a collection. I was thinking of buying it but then, there are those, which I don’t like. In that Japanese drama, which is about a father and 4 girls, had a Namie Amuro song, “Can we celebrate?” I feel nostalgic about it. It was a very old song. Oh ya, there was even a song called ‘Days’ which is in HnG which I like. The theme song of Satorare is by Glay. After listening to it a lot of times, I came to somewhat like it now. hehehe There was a song before in a Japanese detective story by Glay, it was nice but I kept forgetting the title. Also, there was that funny song with dance of three teens in another detective story. I feel so old. ^^;;
The events here are rallies right and left over the possible impeachment trial of the Supreme Justice. Then, there might be another possible mass leave by court employees on Monday. This morning there were two military guys killed in the airport’s control tower. The story is still hush-hush. The only good news for some people was the coming of F4’s Jerry Yan here for promoting a clothes store, Bench. I used to joke with Asher when there are talks of the F4 coming to the Philippines, our president might want to get them to visit her just like before, an ex-president invited a Mexican actress, Thalia. I seems the joke came true. Mr. Yan will be leaving today or maybe tomorrow then come back at the end of the month for a concert with his co-F4, Vic Chou and ASOS. I was amused to see that in Taiwanese news, his visit to Malacanang [house of the president which is like the White House] was in their news as they say, grown-ups acted like teenagers as they squeal in delight when they saw him.
I wasn’t able to watch SG because the station changed their schedule. It is now half an hour early. Spiral was pre-empted with two baseball games. The last one, they managed to save Hiyono and Rio though they did manage to free themselves. It seem that the assassins is not related to Kiyotaka but they know him. In Naruto, they are busy cheating in a test, as Naruto is tense for he cannot answer the questions. In PA, they faced a super human guy who caused Takeshi to become comatose and Hayato scared stiff. Hayato left them and get to meet Ryo’s dad who as usual perk Hayato back to normal with an extra skill. Ryo’s dad must be the shrink that they all need. ^^;; They got the doctor but he isn’t saying anything. Al challenged him to a chess game but is defeated many times. The doctor told him to ask a question to know all the answers. Al said who is Alice. The doctor made Al open his laptop with the name and a cartoon Alice knew who Al was. It was cut short by appearance of superhuman guy who bashed everyone until Hayato came to save the day. The highlight of that episode is the ending. It was a new ending and I cannot believe it. The channel didn’t cut it. They showed it full. There are some really nice poses and backgrounds of the foursome. The art was good there.

My sister is majorly pissed off. ^^; It started yesterday when cousin called to say that the album we made is in the wrong size. We would have to re-do it again. I copied the size of the photoshop files they gave me and they told me that it is actually a ‘sample’. Philip is just 2 inches longer. I was re-doing a bit of it when sis asked how much she would pay. Cousin said 30T bucks even if we did most of the work. Sis immediately told me to stop re-doing the album and just give it all to the studio for them to re-size everything. There will be no discount even if we did the layout and everything. Sis being so pissed off said that the jpeg files would be their ‘sample’. Cousin immediately said that they want the photoshop files with the layers. It is easier to re-size that way by just moving each layer to the new one. I’m actually tempted to make the sizes a bit smaller. ^^;;; What a waste of time. Sis’ fiancé doesn’t want us to bother Philip anymore since he had helped a lot already. I would just remove the extra layers in the ones we have done so as7 to make the files smaller before I burn some cds to give to the studio.
My fever is acting up usually early mornings. Nii said that I might have a virus so we can still take the medicines we are taking and just observe.
Satorare is a nice Japanese drama. The guy is a doctor with a special disability. His thoughts can be heard by other people within a 20 meter distance. This causes a lot of comedy since his thoughts can be quite candid which makes the new doctor [girl] want to strangle him. He had two bodyguards who guard him from people who wanted to tell him that they could hear his thoughts. It is believed that if he knew he might commit suicide. Most of the people in the hospital don’t like him because he makes their lives a bit hard and some people tried to fire him by making a girl he likes dump him. The new doctor sympathizes with him and is getting close with him. He cannot attend to patients since they might hear his thoughts, which would make them worry about their health and might not have a girlfriend either. Anyway, it is like a manga story.

I think the cold medicine/antibotic had kicked in so I kept on napping which is good for I felt much better. Sis picked up the shoes we had made. It was okay though my skinny bones can still be seen. ^^;
PA – Green bragged and challenge Jabberwocky that he reminded of Yugo’s brother. He made Jabberwocky angry that he almost got killed. Jabberwocky’s shadow became Alice who wanted to destroy everything and seem to want to kill a certain Keith. The other ARMs intervened and were about to kill each other when Kei transformed into Queen of Hearts to stop them all. Violet helped them out and showed a special laboratory to them. The woman from the lab confessed that they took care of Katsumi to make her close with Ryo and that she is also an ARM. Al thought that is why Katsumi and Kei looked alike for they are twins – same genetic structure. Green seems to be in love with Katsumi who got a haircut. The group plans to talk to the doctor who is in charge of the ARMS project.
Spiral – Ryoko was introduced and was in the same school as Ayumu and Hiyono. Ryoko doesn’t want to help Eyes since she doesn’t want to kill but Eyes managed to bet against Ryoko if he can hit her with three balls. Ryoko got hit and will help Eyes but vows not to kill. The next day, Kousuke went to their school. Ryoko and Kousuke seem to have a past for Ryoko just love to hit him around like a little brother. Hiyono visited Rio but they were kidnapped by the assassin. There are now two of them. The main guy usually wears a silver ring and I wonder if he is Ayumu’s brother since they have the same color of hair. In an abandoned building, Ayumu, Kousuke and Ryoko tried to find the two girls before the whole building is bombed.

Visiting the dead is over so back to the chaos of politics and etc. It was noted that fewer people bought flowers and even when to their dead ones in the province. It can only because that the economy is down and the politicians are busy pulling it down even more with squabbles and all sort of things. There was suppose to be a typhoon coming on that day but the whole day was sunny. ^^; Well, my cold didn’t get better since it has been a week since my throat hurts. I am losing my voice so I don’t talk much but when I talk, people cannot hear it. I have to take in some antibiotics since regular cold medicine isn’t working.
Yesterday, whiner called to update me on news about her life. It turned out that the one whom her parents introduced to her was dating her for four times already and it seem that the guy likes her or else, he won’t bother going to Makati from Antipolo. The guy is into hardware business and so that is one thing in common. It is somewhat of a Chinese ‘tradition’ for the wife to help in the husband’s business. The guy is quite older though - he is in his 30s. She said that he is into gym to keep himself trim. I told her that means the guy has a good shaped body. Lots of guys lately are into the gym for most young actors these days have a tendency to show them off – their hardwork. Anyway, I hope the best for her as she said, the guy is okay with no vices. I cannot help but tell her, I told you so. ^^;
I went to Muraki today. The hospital is under renovations so he told me next time to go to the other entrance. He doesn’t want to tamper with the crusty wound thingies on my forehead since I had a cold and it might take toll on my health. We just had some fluid cultured to see if there are germs. I hope that it won’t be the evil antibiotics. As I wait for my mom to finish paying, he entertained me a while by chatting. He told me that he was invited in a Chinese charity that gives medicine to poor people. Those poor people in turn, sell the medicine, which defeats the purpose. The charity then thought of a way to discourage it buy opening the bottles [removing the seal] and putting the tablets into plastics so that they could not be re-sold.
That means, I wasn’t able to be in the wedding rehearsal today. ^^; Oh well, I do hope that I would be okay by the time sis weds. I forgot to tell about Super Gals. Ran suddenly had a change of character, a very drastic change. She became the total opposite of her character – wanting to be a police; studious, nice, courteous and even wears lacy gowns that looked like a nightgown. Everyone was shocked and her friends figured out that the change happened after they took some photo stickers in the arcade. They traced the photo stickers machine and had Ran have a picture again and she is back to normal. Yuya noticed that the machine wasn’t even plugged. This episode reminded me of Tom Hank’s movie entitled Big.
It is a filler for OP, I think they are going for a filler arc with Ace in the desert. In Yugioh, the kid who is fighting with Kaiba is actually dead and I think he wants Kaiba’s body so that he can live and they had a game. So far, Kaiba isn’t doing well. HnG is already at the part when Isumi returns from China and talked with Hikaru about his quiting. Isumi wanted to challenge Hikaru to a game.
In Saiyuki, it seem to be a chapter that tends to be put at the end of each volume. The foursome wanted to celebrate so they eat to their hearts content. Misfortune comes when Sanzo cannot find his gold credit card. They tried looking for it as everyone squabbles. Somewhere, Kougaji asked Yaone what she is holding. Yaone replied that gold card fell of Sanzo’s. Pictures can be found in Sf’s journal, October 29th entry. There is a cute Sanzo chibi there as he looked for his credit card.

Wa!, Korean manhwa is really good and very addictive. I might use up my net time again on it. I’m behind 200+ pages. The story is about a girl who wanted to be a scriptwriter and falls for the idol. She managed to get the idol’s scriptwriter who was the loner in her class to take her for his student. The art is really good and I so love the scriptwriter who acts and his chibis reminded me [and the readers] of Yuki Eiri – Gravitation and this one doesn’t seem gay. The idol is cute type who resembles Tsuzuki [YnM]. It became a love square. Girl likes idol that likes girl. Scriptwriter seems to like girl, too. There is a boy idol that is actually a girl who is falling for the idol. Since this is Janimes, it might be cut near the end for she doesn’t finishes any manga in the hope that people would buy the manga. If there is a Chinese translated of Korean mangas, I would certain buy it already.
I’m bumming the whole day today so nothing much to write about except for the anime that I have watched. In Naruto, re-introduction of the people and talking about different ninja clans. Naruto had to foolishly shout that he could defeat them all that irritated the others. A group came and attacked the one with glasses who was telling them about the stuff. I cannot understand a thing in Gundam Seed, gomen Asher. I think this is something that that should be subbed in a language that one really knows. There is a lot of talking and talking that I got lost then the enemies is attacking again.
An OP treat – two movies for today. ^-^ The first one, which is fighting with a group based on the deck of cards, was absolutely fun. They changed their outfits a lot of times here. A lot of fun scenes, which started at the beginning, were shown. They actually had a hard time defeating their enemies here and were even caught except for Luffy. They lost their ship and helped a kid find his mother. The kid in the end, went back with his friend as they sail the seas. The other one is okay. They found an island with lots of animals. The animals thought of Chopper as their god to save them from poachers wherein the main bad guy had the horns of animals chopped off to eat. This seems to be on environment. They had a hard time but in the end, managed to win, as the only boy in the island became king. The outfit is based on a spread out which iirc, the one as if they are doing the Indian Jones.
Friday, October 31, 2003 @ 08:13 p.m.
In PA, it is more on bonding within the cave before they got out of town. It seemed that Hayato is developing a crush on Kei. When I see him tease Hayato, Ban kept flashing in my mind. Anyway, Mr. Green, Keith Green appeared and wreck havoc as the group was resting in a lake. I didn’t know there is a like in the Grand Canyon. As usual, he managed to make Ryo angry and he quickly changed to Jabberwocky to wreck more havoc. Ryo must be a relative of Hulk. ^^;;
Nothing happened in Spiral since it is a recap. I’m beginning to doubt myself whether the one whom Eyes talked with is Kiyotaka or Kanone since there are knives in a scene before. Anyway, Kanone will be in the next episode and it seemed that Ryoko is there, too since I have seen a runner. I think I mis-read when Naruto will show...that is good for they might not be at the same time as Spiral.
Happy Halloween, to those who celebrate it.
Thursday, October 30, 2003 @ 08:37 p.m.
Halloween will be celebrated tomorrow. I noticed that before, it wasn’t visibly celebrated before than these past few days. Trick or treats are only limited to subdivision/clubs or sometimes in malls or hotels. For the teens and adults, it would be costume party at different restaurants/discos/bars. Most of the people are getting ready for All Saint’s Day, which falls on November one. It is the day to visit the dead and offering them flowers and candles. There are those who use the day for gambling and drinking though. For the Chinese, there are a variety of paper decorations, incense, paper burning and other traditions.
The two main topics on politics these days is the possible impeachment trial of the Supreme Justice of the Supreme Court and whether or not, an actor would run for president. I do not quite understand the politics in the impeachment trial but the main issue is whether it is constitutional to have a case twice within a year against a Supreme justice and where did the money, which was allegedly misused, went? The latter question was asked by the court employees and they plan to have a fiesta...anoh, walk out rally to protest it. These days, to be heard, government employees have rallies and walk-outs. ^^; Next, the actor is still a neophyte in politics, never have been elected in office and would immediately run for president which made a lot of people jittery. That is basically the only thing that his possible opponents would say about him since he had no ‘dirt’ which would stop the people most probably the masses from voting him. His supporters contend that so what, for those who have the experience are known to be corrupt or have some ‘dirt’ on them.
PA- Yes, the people here really have some childhood issues and I think, only a psychologist could solve all their problems to stop the fighting. The title is Bird Cage, I think since there is the Chinese word Bird and they showed Keith Silver[?]/Madhatter with it. It is easy to guess what is going to happen in this story. Madhatter wanted to kill Jabberwocky/Ryo because he thinks that Ryo is the root of all his problems and he yearn to be free like a bird. Of course to solve the problem, Jabberwocky just gave in to his wish and he is now with his beloved bird. It seemed that Alice whoever she was is the key to everything or the ARMS and Jabberwocky is the ARMS killer so all the other arms are afraid of him.
In Spiral, Kiyotaka had warned Eyes about the Blade Children assassin who called Eyes and threaten to kill him at the start of his concert. Ayumu helped them to know how the assassin would kill Eyes but the assassin got away. It seemed that Kiyotaka is figuring out who is the assassin. Ayumu tried to ask what it was all about the Blade Children that Kousuke always killed him. Kousuke still doubt that Ayumu could help them. Meanwhile, Hiyono paid a visit to Madoka and cooked a feast as they wait for Ayumu to come back home for Christmas. Hiyono was quite different from other heroines that she even gave a gift for Rio. That is why Ayumu is in the hospital to learn Eyes and the other Blade Children’s problem.
Wednesday, October 29, 2003 @ 08:36 p.m.
I’m feeling sick today and I think I might come down with something...maybe a cold. I went to the office today since the secretary is still absent and the worker trained to do her job is also absent because his father died. Hopefully, with some rest, I’ll be okay.
I wasn’t able to watch PA. In Spiral, Eyes does know Kiyotaka who might be one of the Blade Children, too. They seemed to have a good relationship until Kiyotaka went somewhere. Rio seems to like Eyes and would rather he give her food than flowers. It was Christmas eve and Hiyono managed to get Ayumu to get her and Madoka a chick stuff toy that Ayumu won in the ufo catcher machine. Madoka gave Ayumu a piano cd of Eyes and the first track was Kiyotaka’s favorite theme that Madoka cried for she missed him. I don’t know if I miss something important since I have a hard time comprehending what they are saying. ^^;;
Tuesday, October 28, 2003 @ 08:29 p.m.
My stomach acted up again today so I stayed in bed most of the day. I’m figuring out as to what is causing it. I hope it isn’t the new drug, which replaced the old one. I really have to finish the album layout already so that it can be printed already. I teased mom that I will win the bet since it will be November when the album is out and she said that it wasn’t fair because I was slow at doing it. hehehe Oh well, I guess the bet is off.
I am getting confused over PA since they suddenly throw in stuff and I don’t know if it is an important revelation or not. The thing, which ARMS are made off called Assassin, I think, came alive when Ryo thought that Yugo had died because of him. Yugo managed to pacify Ryo by pretending to be Katsumi mentally. It is confirmed that Yugo likes Ryo. I do not know what the heck is with this Assassin and how a certain girl called Alice is connected to it. In the end, it turned into a statue of Katsumi before vanishing after saving Yugo. Black Keith is still intent at killing the ARMS or something and Green Keith wanted to get into the fight snubbing their boss. Their boss Keith said that the two Keiths are stupid for the Assassin wasn’t the only one in the world. Another confusing part is when Jabberwocky was about to awaken, White Rabbit [Takeshi] and Knight [Hayato] wanted to come out and kill Jabberwocky. Huh? What was that all about?
In Spiral, Rio and Ayumu talked as Rio told Ayumu to be more confident of himself then she collapsed for her wounds have not yet healed. Hiyono was furious to see them together hehehe and well, they brought Rio to the hospital. Kousuke is ready to get away since he doesn’t want to be caught by the police when Eyes came. He told Ayumu not to tell the police and Ayumu realized that he is one of the Blade Children. Eyes told Ayumu that his brother is involved with the Blade Children and it might be okay for him but it would be devastating for Madoka. Eyes hinted that they wanted Ayumu to do something for them and assured him that they would no longer put Ayumu and Hiyono in danger. Ayumu quickly went out in a fit as Hiyono followed him. They went into the train station and Hiyono kept yapping. Ayumu was exhausted and slept on her shoulder. That night, Madoka worked overtime trying to figure out about the Blade Children and where the heck is Kiyotaka. Ayumu prepared dinner but Madoka haven’t come home. He cannot tell her that he knew the Blade Children. Somewhere, Eyes said that the person he trusted is no longer here. I’m thinking the person is Kiyotaka. Also, somewhere, which looked like a library, someone was writing and telling Eyes to came to him. I also think he is Kiyotaka. ^^;; Anyway, things are getting interesting.
By next week, Naruto might be in a weekly schedule at the same time as Spiral. Great. ^^; The preview was the students are cheating on their tests. ^^;; I wonder what they would replace on the Naruto weekend schedule. Maburaho kind of scares me. Today’s episode, they helped this princess ghost find her nice knight who treated her nice before. Then, blond girl exploded the house, which wrecked the knight’s armor, which made the princess angry. Then she saw the blond and remembered that the knight looked like her and to my horror, the little princess quickly grabbed the blond’s breasts and rubbed her head on the blond’s chest. @_@;;; I think Maburaho is currently introducing characters and so far, it is so boring.
Monday, October 27, 2003 @ 06:30 p.m.
I was dragged out of bed yesterday as sis said that it would be better to go with them than for them to come back here just for me. I ate breakfast in the car. We first went to Makati Shangrila Hotel to see the place and it was nice though seemed small. They decided to pick this one rather than Penninsula as the place for sis’ wedding the day before for the pictorial. The scale was transparent and was actually cool. After that, we went to sis’ fiancé’s place for lunch. Since our cable and Destiny had merged, they are sharing their channels. I had seen the Chinese movie channel which was rerunning OP movie. I guess I didn’t miss much then. Then, they showed Slam Dunk movie, which is near where Shohoku was defeated by Maki’s school because of Hanamichi’s error. He had his haircut then met with a hyper foreigner at the train who wanted to have a game with Shohoku. It seemed to be funny especially at some parts but unfortunately, we have to go for our haircut appointment. I had told my mom to record it but she forgot how so I could only just hope for a rerun to watch it.
I had my hair cellophane red though it was not obvious. I guess they make it differently lately or it was a different treatment before since when I cellophaned before, the color was obvious. I am not that daring to dye it yet and I tend to like bold colors – red/blue since I think brownish tint is ordinary. Oh ya, I have never tried blue since they say it isn’t noticeable especially if cellophaned. I got my bangs and I felt that haircut looked really familiar then I remembered some people who had that haircut. They say, it looked cute on me and it actually made me look a lot younger than before. Is that good? ^^;
Robin: To give you an idea, she actually copied my hair.
Hehehe...I was thinking of an anime/manga character and I remembered her. Yes, it is somewhat like Nico Robin’s hair but longer bangs. As usual, the people in the parlor are surprised to know that I’m older than them but looked younger than them. Anyway, we were late for the photo shoot at Roxas Blvd for the sunset and it was a good thing or bad that the digital photographer actually forgot about it. Okay, his alibi was that he checked his computer on that date and it wasn’t written so he went out. We had called him and texted him about it. Even sis’ wedding coordinator, who was his friend, helped us to locate him. Later at night, he called and apologized that it was the first time it had happened to him. He offered to pay for the trial make-up and hairdo of sis plus something else for the photo package. I don’t know if sis would have another pre-nuptial pictorial though. I knew I would regret not bringing my digicam yesterday. Well, that night, I took some trial pictures of sis with her make-up on. It looked okay. My mother said that I should practice on the lighting.
In PA, the Eigregory group is attacking them. Ryo got infected with a spray and it was Yugo who went to save him. I really think that she have a ‘special’ feelings for Yugo. Violet doesn’t approve of her brothers attack though. Meanwhile, in Spiral, Ayumu had confidence now and it is fun as he teased Rio about dying and wonder if there is God, then he said here comes his goddess as Hiyono tossed the key to him. Rio had lost the game as Ayumu had outwitted her. The characters here are really cute. ^-^

Hehehe...I spent the afternoon napping and I’m still sleepy. My body must be recovering from the days of insomnia and that is good. Our electricity is quite erratic today and even when SG was showing but fortunately, it was momentary. The episode is quite tame when Ran befriended a girl who knows kendo and thought she was leaving so she tried her best to earn the money to buy her friend the dress. It turned out that it was her brother who was leaving.
I forgot to tell about Spiral yesterday and it was nothing much except Ayumu having a new trial with a bomb on his neck. He must find Hiyono who had the key to the bomb with the set period of time but she rode the wrong train because Rio pushed her into it. Rio and Kousuke would try to get the tape from the locker. I begin to find Kousuke cute. ^^;
I also forgot to mention that it was only near the end of the second season when Yami Yugi said that he is not the Yugi they knew...he is a different personality. Mmm..they don’t find it weird why he changes before but then when Kaiba played with him in the first episode, he did knew but Yugi didn’t give him an explanation. I begin to wonder how different the manga with the anime. I realized what Gundam Seed had replaced. It was Rurouni Kenshin but it was still far away before I guess they skipped. I wonder if they would finish all of Gundam Seed or is it just a teaser to buy the vcd it is promoting. GSeed have 50 episodes in all. In today’s episode, Kira defeated the Gundam that Raww was piloting or rather Kira wrecked a hole in the colony. Murrue regrouped with her friends and wanted Kira to pilot Gundam Strike but Kira isn’t too happy about being dragged into the war. Kira finished off one of those Gundams while the Murrue’s group defeated another Gundam. Kira faced with Anthrun but because of the fighting, the bar, which holds the colony together, broke as the people evacuates. Kira got suck out into space. This is already the third episode so I don’t know their past – Kira and Anthrun.
In Naruto, thick eyebrows kid challenges Sasuke after defeating Naruto. Sasuke had lost and he was very angry about it. The kid was stopped by a turtle. His sensei that looked like the kid and seemed to be a gay also came. ^^;; The three cannot believe that they are fighting with this kind of person but Sasuke said that he will try his best as they walked towards the pillars to the test site, I think. I find it quite weird to see Kai of Beyblade to be in a prep school. He actually looked good with that good and almost cute. He also has an earring without those face markings. It is the dubbing that ruined it since he sounded old. It was a tie with his opponent and he was laughing quite crazily for he had found a good opponent. You see, he had quit beyblading since he had no good opponents, except for Tyson – is that his Japanese name? I doubt.
I read the OP movie time wrong. I thought it was at 7pm and it was at 8pm. A DBZ movie was being shown at 7pm. I think this OP is the first one since only Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp are in it. There are only a few laughs here though I don’t quite understand what is the plot. ^^;; I think they helped a kid know about his grandfather who was a pirate and stopped this lion-looking guy from stealing all of the gold. There are some nice spreads at the ending and I have some of them but it was only half of it. I want because it looked fun – the crew are enjoying themselves fooling around. As I wrote before, I love OP spreads and might invest on an artbook of it. I managed to watch a Slam Dunk Movie, which is about a boy who used to play with Rukawa in the basketball game. He wanted to play against with him but learned that he needed to be operated on and might not be able to play again. The rest of the story is just playing with the Shohoku team. In the end, the boy is satisfied with his last game as Rukawa gave him his uniform.

Sigh, I’m down the whole day because of heartburn. It was quite bad today though it was acting up the last two days. I feel a bit better now and still sleepy. It must be one of those days. Nii gave some antacid and we realized that I was drinking the wrong dosage of medicine. ^^; It turned out that Nii had risen up the dosage since one of the medicines was eliminated. Good thing nothing bad had happened since the blood test on the kidney was find last Saturday. I would see Nii in a month and it would be either before or after sis’ marriage.
Hopefully, tomorrow, I won’t forget to watch Super Gals, Gundam Seed and OP movie. Sometimes I keep on switching over all the channels feeling that I forgot to watch something. ^^; I had researched a bit on Yugioh to know what the older yugi was called and it was Yami. I thought Maximillion calling Yugi Boy is caused by faulty dubbing. ^^; Then, there was a flashback in Chinese Yugioh about Maximillion calling Kaiba Boy. ^^; So, I guess he just like that. Anyway, when I researched, I really found Yugioh to be interesting regarding the past of Yami Yugi regarding his favorite card, the black magician as actually a guardian for his path to death. Also, Kaiba’s blue-eyed dragon is actually his lover[?] in the past. I didn’t know that Bakura actually had a past, I thought he was just possessed or something. It was very interesting. I think first season would be confronting Maximillion and defeating him. Second is Kaiba having a tournament with Malik making an appearance and challenging Yami Yugi. In reality, Malik wanted him dead. Kaiba is in denial over the past and it is all just hogwash. Third is Kaiba having the finalists of the contest in his airship, which includes the Ishtar siblings.
I have researched on Gundam Seed...wow, lots of names. Okay, basic plot is a group called Zaft stole four of the Gundams with only one which had arrived on Earth piloted by Murrue. Due to my faulty memory, I think they wanted to get the Earth or something. Anyway, there are those who would fight to prevent that and that included Kira who was the one who managed to pilot the Gundam which Murrue got. The rest of the story would be the relationships of the people as Kira found himself in the war he doesn’t want to fight and it was against his best friend, Anthrun.
Endless Love have ended though I don’t know what will replace it. The only new thing that they are advertising is Sadako. It made me think if Ring has a tv series. ^^; I cannot bear the dragging of Beautiful Days that I actually searched for the ending and found it. What is with Korean drama heroines? They have a tendency to die of some sickness. First one is in Endless Love, then it is in Love Letter and so it seems, Beautiful Days also has one. Anyway, she survived and it was a happy ending. My prediction that it is a boy siblings with girl siblings relationship.
The drama in Jet is My Father which is about a father with his four grown-up daughters. One is already married having problems while the other three are planning to married and it is causing conflict with the father. I like the opening of this drama with one of the girls adding puff in the clouds with whipped cream, pouring water and it became stars and painting of the moon. It was really nice. One of the girl’s boyfriends actually looked cute. Since Japanese dramas are usually only 10 episodes long, they already advertised the replacement called Satorare, which seemed to about a doctor. They are in a train and he was commenting on the people’s health. The girl thought he was a pervert. ^^;; The translation seem to be like good at feeling – according to mom. The lead isn’t that good looking though.
PA- I think all of the kids in this anime should get some psychiatric help. The businessman was indeed Ryo’s dad. Kei and the others planned some traps for the Hound group. That girl Shirley was included in the Chapel Children and guess what? They all hate adults but one boy who is buddy-buddy with Al had a weak side for the leader of Hound. So, they are all doing this for revenge and it ended with cries – I realized how important you are to me. Al told all of them that Eigregory knew their betrayal and is getting ready to blast them into kingdom come. It was much like when they are still in the town where Katsumi was supposedly killed. Anyway, the new info here is there was once a meteor there, which can take shape of a human – it had some sort of human face and arms. It was the alloy, which Arms and other stuff is made off. Oh ya, I hope the four heroes won’t merge into something scary since Kei is the head/eyes, Hayato and Ryo are the arms and lastly, Takeshi as the legs. Won’t that form a monster if merged? ^^;;
Ban: Your imagination is getting the best of you...rest up.
Hehehe...that it for now.

Hehehe...finally finished MGS1 happy ending. I managed to do that with the help of sis’ fiancé. He is a button masher – can press buttons fast so I had him finish that torture thingie to get the happy ending. Everything is basically the same and instead of riding home with Otacon, it was Meryl and it had become somewhat of a ‘love’ ending. I managed to read again what Oncelot told the President again. It seemed that it wasn’t Liquid who was the inferior but Snake then he mentioned that the President was actually one of Big Boss clones so related to Snake and Liquid. Interesting. I wonder what would happen in MGS2. I was also thinking if MGS3 would be about Snake’s encounter with Big Boss since it is a pre-sequel to the series.
Speaking of clones, as I watch PA, I remember MGS1. ^^; Violet told them that the Keith series are clones of the boss of Eigregory. There is a weakling = Chelo and a stronger Keith = Edward. Edward tends to protect Chelo from the other mean Keiths. One day, Edward had the arm implanted in him but it was a failure. I think he was the Blue Men boss. Then, it was Chelo’s turn and it was a success but he became bad just like the others. Violet tells them that the place is where Eigregory was formed and that it is a Pandora box. After she left, it seemed that Hayato had a crush on her. Hehehe Kei who is still trying to find herself met a guy who claimed to be a businessman. He helped her out by defeating some cyborgs that are after him and giving her some strategy tips. I think that man is Ryo’s father. Al is still ‘cooperating’ with the Chapel children, the group he used to belong in. The Chapel children are planning something to take over Eigregory. Kei re-grouped with the others and then the town people suddenly attacked them. A ‘cowgirl’ called Shirley greeted them as Ryo narrates that it turned out that they had opened the Pandora box.
Spiral is more on talking – Eyes talking to Rio about Ayumu, Hiyono with Kousuke about believing in Ayumu and Hadoka talking to Ayumu to encourage him. Mm..Hadoka was led to Ayumu by a white butterfly, would that mean Kiyotaka is dead? The last scene, Ayumu went back to the hospital to accept Rio’s test.

Well, it seemed that Pitas had problems. I had to re-do the layout since it was messed up. So now everything is okay now. I had subbed in its mailing list to know if there is something happening into it.
In PA – Ryo figured out how to fight the Hound group by defeating the leader but the group still managed to get Kabuto, Yugo and Takeshi. Kei who was the designated leader is in doubt of her powers as she moved to find the others alone. Ryo and Hayato were eating for lunch when Keith Violet [girl Keith] went to visit them.
Spiral – Ayumu and Hiyono went to the hospital to face their ‘enemy’ Rio who was also visited by Kousuke. Rio challenged him into which glass of water had poison. Ayumu lost since he lacks confidence. Hiyono managed to get Ayumu another chance for Ayumu to be tested by the Blade Children since she believed that he is much better than Kiyotaka. Hiyona taped Rio’s confession and used it to give Ayumu a chance. She also let herself be bait as Ayumu escaped and re-think over what he should do or rather have more confidence on himself. It seemed that Blade Children sometimes have ‘cat eyes’.

I went with sis to a shoe making store yesterday and was almost got lost. ^^; Anyway, in the end, we found it. It took me time to chose what style I want since my feet is quite thin and in heels they looked bad. I finally found one with straps to cover the bony parts hehehe. Then, I somewhat flipped and had below the knee leather boots be made, too. I always wanted to have one. It seemed that this store is quite famous for actors/actresses since a guy came in. I looked somewhat familiar and he looked gayish but quite pretty. He was talking about names of local stars of the station, which had its fifth anniversary. But then, there are lots of pictures of stars on the walls but I thought it was old ones since the pictures looked faded.
I am having problems with putting music in the avp so we might just get a different source for the music. I had bumming lately and feel sleepy lately. Yawn...
OP anime – they seem to made Ace join them in the trip instead of just leaving them immediately after the meeting. I really like the way Ace fried the ships as he cruises on his boat. It looked cool. Yugioh – Jounouchi and Yugi team up against those corporate adults as Kaiba was exploring this building to find Makuba.
In PA, the city adventure is finish with four Keith clones, horrors since there is one female, in a helicopter with Katsumi who was apparently still alive. They are using her to lure them to their headquarters. Then, Blue Men group head is also another Keith. ^^;; He told them that he was a failed experiment when they put something on him that he was angry about it and stole some arms info and produced Ryo and the others. Eigregory sent him a video of Katsumi in Arizona as if tipping them off. They said their goodbyes to everyone and they are off to the US with Yugo and Al. It is now the second chapter of PA. There are lots of reruns and then, they went to a mysterious town which belonged to the Eigregory group.
In Spiral, a new Blade child came out and she is a girl in ponytails. She killed off the teacher who also knows about the Blade Children and wanted to help Ayumu by telling Ayumu about them. Ayumu had a profile of the girl already called Rio. Hiyono was helping Ayumu track down Rio with her information network. I think she was the girl whom Ayumu had helped when they accuse her of destroying the window. Ayumu said that they should be careful since their enemy is a bomb expert. Then, Rio bombed herself. Sorry, I really have no idea what is happening here but Ayumu figured out that Rio is one of them. Rio has a tendency to tell her plans to Kousuke. Eyes seem to have some heart/stomach problem though since he tends to clutch his chest or somewhere below at times.
