ONE MORE DAY. NIght anyway, and then i can finally sleep BEFORE midnight. XD

you might ask, 'why the hell then am i wasting my time posting when i could be doing whatever it is that was keeping me up?'

i couldn't help but post after reading Ouran 71. there's a new plot twist between mori and hani. i'm excited again - ouran was starting to get kind of boring. maybe because there's such a long wait in between chapters. 

it's surprising though, to see hani speaking so seriously, without the flowers around his speech bubble. it's usually mori who scolds hani, but now i can see the part of hani that's actually 18 (?!). in his own way, mori acts immature sometimes too. and this is possibly the most serious hani has ever looked since the start of the host club. D: i wonder what's really going on. 

and hikaru saw the mild tamakixharuhi moment. it's kind of sad - it's almost completely certain that his chances had been nearly nonexistent from the very start. and on the other side, the whole romance thing is awkward. it has all the semblance of romance, but i can't really feel it. maybe this will change someday.

also, now that mori and hani are graduating, what does this mean for the host club? will it continue with the remaining members? will they break up? will everything be concluded BEFORE they graduate? and the question that has been plaguing us from the very start - what happens with haruhi? she's not going to pretend to be a guy forever. if she ends up with tamaki, she's going to have to out herself as a girl, unless they go on making everyone else think tamaki has chosen a male lover. which would also turn awkward on the event that they have children.

ouran doesn't feel as if it's ending though. i still want that reunion between tamaki and his mom. i want his mom to meet haruhi too. i want to see them all until their graduations. 

i'm not very active in the ouran fandom - there's not much discussion going on in the comms i find, more on fanfiction (most of which is... not exactly what i look for in fiction), and icons, which i'm too lazy to snatch and upload (i don't even bother with changing my icons most of the time, although i used to when i was a newbie.) 

 
I WAS RIGHT. although it was kind of a really easy guess,( cut for spoilerz. )
on my RL situation, had the interview with Lexmark people this morning. kind of unfulfilling on my part. i forgot so many things that i wanted to tell them during the actual thing, although i did ramble a lot, and they laughed a lot as well. 

POLL:

WILL I GET THE COVETED, ONCE IN A LIFETIME LEXMARK SCHOLARSHIP? 





so, in the spirit of cramming, i will read all the updates of fic for today before making the LAB REPORTS OF DOOM. 

 i can't stop looking at the last two pages of naruto. it's been so long since we last saw the Suna team, that i've missed them. 

gah, another week until the next chapter.



so, a bunch of us (the ones who were able to get into the dean's list last year), had our names given to the scholarship division of Lexmark. so now, they've invited us over to their new office tomorrow. i hope we all get it. the benefits are amazing.

 the idea of michael jackson (rip) being dead is kind of surreal. i mean, he was never my favorite singer, but you can't help but know at least one (or like me who traveled by a ship that kept replaying his songs over and over again), a whole Lot of them. 

he was kind of an era all by himself.

this must be one of the major milestones one must go through in their life in the urban area: their first vehicular accident.

i can't really describe what it looked like, and the effects, but i can't shake off this really horrible feeling.

i'd been feeling wrong all day, but i thought that was just because i wasn't ready to go to school yet - classes officially start tomorrow, or just because of the miserable weather. and then the accident happened, and i couldn't help but feel that this was what i was subconsciously worrying about.

there's this really ugly scratch right now along the right back door of my car. i feel apprehensive now about driving - i can't imagine getting into the driver's seat again, although i don't know how i'll really feel about it.

is this something one must always go through to become a good driver? maybe i was too arrogant, as a newbie usually is, or was it just inevitable?

when it happened, my first thought was: oh god, i hope i didn't break anything in the other guy's car - plus, that his car was actually a surplus nissan Pajero, and looked twice as big as my sedan.

 TRC 222 is just so..... 


SWEET. it made me tear up a little. it needs Fanfic! post!reunion!


I can't stop looking at it. it makes me go Hanyaaaaaaaaan, ^_______________^ it did come to me though that it must have looked pretty weird to her friends, sakura hugging total stranger w/ the strange outfit.

and i kept looking for tomoyo, lol... - which brings me to the question of who tomoyo's' destined person is. it's like she's the only one without a pair in ccs. it's kind of sad.



at least though, some people are finally HAPPY in tsubasa. there was a time when i thought the Sad would never end. i hope the 'you' yuuko was referring to was clow, XD. OTP==canonized!

oh no, it's really ending, isn't it? tsubasa-holic has been like, its own era in my fandom life.






i REALLY can't stop looking at the last page.

 NARUTO IS GOING TO TEH FANFIC. WAI. o_O is kishi doing a JK rowling?

although i can't wait for it to be animated - i just KNOW i'm going to cry again. but, yeah, i'm surprised i didn't see this coming.

all there is to do now is wait and see what happens next.

 I just finished watching Aishite Imasu (Mahal Kita) 1941. It is a movie set in, well 1941, during the second world war. 

synopsis (leeched from Wikipilipinas):


i liked it because... it wasn't a romance. there was love, but there was no happily ever after. there was no sugarcoating, no stereotyping, it was all about survival, trying to live in a time of great uncertainty. for the filipino-japanese couples, it was trying to find a balance between their love and their loyalty to their country. 

i especially liked the line by the mayor to ignacio. it was in filipino, but the english translation is roughly:

ignacio: i'll speak to ichiro about helping you.  i'm sure he'll let you go.
alcalde: don't mind me, my family is resigned to my fate
ignacio: but what about our country?
alcalde: don't worry about our country. worry about yourself. our country can save itself. we don't need the japanese, we don't need the americans. only our filipinos can save us. one way or another, our country will rise again. but you, ignacio, who will save you?


it was a good message, which i think all filpinos should start putting into mind. we are our own saviors. we should not depend on other people to help us. we should not let ourselves become virtual slaves to the rich countries, or else, what was the point in freeing ourselves in the first place?

there were many ways to interpret that last line about who would save ignacio. being my romantic self, i portrayed it as the mayor meaning that once the fighting starts, ignacio will have to choose. he can't stay in the middle forever. and no matter what he chooses, it will still hurt. his lover or his country?

i like movies like these because it reminds people that world war two wasn't only about hitler, or pearl harbor, or the holocaust (although i do not belittle any of them). everyone suffers in war. there is no glory in war - which is why i sometimes found the present mayor annoying in the movie.

aishite imasu is a good movie. 

 why do i find it strange that NoOne is discussing the latest Tsubasa chapter on my f-list?

( I was all WTF and SO THAT )have been obsessing on Broadway again. i've been listening to Aida. i love the songs, the characters, and the plot. i don't know if i would have liked it if i saw it on Broadway, but the singers sound great in the OST, especially Heather Headley.



My eyes are getting worse. left grade is now up to 575, right 475. my worst fear is that i'll grow blind, although the optometrist assures me that it won't become That bad. astigmatism has IMPROVED HOWEVER. 200 down to 75. O_o;

my life, my course depends on my eyes. everything i love to do depends on my eyes. it's kind of frightening.

i'll probably have to cut on my computer time.

also have new frames to go with the lenses. they are purple. i didn't like any of the plastic ones that are currently popular - i like the half rimmed ones best, and the ones that i liked the most were metallic-ey, although still with plastic sides. 

the label was nicole feraud, yani eggplant. i had to choose between silver, pink and purple, and i think the purple one suited me best.
