ごめんなさい

ごめんなさい m(_ _)m

I apologize for delay of blogs.
I started college, and have A LOT to
read. TT_TT
So,
my time to watch dramas
is less.

But,
I promise you
I am still watching, and will tell you
what I think is good. ^^

Again,
I am sorry.
Please be patient. ^^

Hotaru no Hikari

Alternative Title: ホタルノヒカリ / Glow of Fireflies [Firefly's Glow]
Release: July 2007
Japan Casts: Ayase Haruka, Fujiki Naohito,
Itaya Yuka, Kato Kazuki, Kurotani Tomoka,
Maruyama Tomomi, Takeda Shinji,
Watabe Gota, Yasuda Ken

Hotaru works for a famous design company.
She is the average, normal girl when it
comes to work. Once she steps foot in her
house, she turns into a different woman.
Hotaru is what society calls a [himono onna].
A dried up woman. She stays all her time
at home, dressed in baggy clothes with
old stains, drinking beer, rolling around
the floor.
But this life does not stay a secret when
her boss shows up at her door. Soon, she is
told to move out. What will she do?

So,
this one is older than Mr. Brain {the
same woman plays in this drama too^^}. but,
it is very entertaining. Some times, it's
like watching a live anime with people since
she talks about her emotions alot. The story
is also about how she starts liking this
guy , and her way of coming out of her bad
habbits.
I really liked this one. ^^ And is entertaining.
Personaly, took a break of a couple days after
episode 6 because it was a good ending for the
time being, and then continued. ^^ But that's
just me.
I hope you enjoy it. :3

But their grandfather will turn to

Alternate Title: ハウルの動く城, Hauru no Ugoku Shiro
Release: (Japan) 20.11.2004 (USA) 10.6.2005
Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Producer: Toshio Suzuki

An awesome fantasy movie about a girl
named Sophie, who receives a bad curse
from a witch, that makes her look like
an old lady. And her journey with a
guy who she falls in love with.
How will she get rid of the curse?

I don't think there is really one way
to describe a movie, since there are many
things happening.
It's really cool though!
The artwork is again awesome, the story
is awesome. It's all awesome. xD xD

By the way,
the link that is attached to is the 1st
one that I wrote below.
I attach more links to see if the 1st one
does not work, and if you are a little tired
of subtitles. All work.
Please leave a message or comment if there
is any problem.

The Cat Returns

Alternate Title: 猫の恩返し [Neko no Ongaeshi]
Release: 2002(japan)/2005(usa)
Genre: Fantasy
Time Length: 75 minutes

Ok, so I know this now a new one,
but I thought to put it up because
I finally got a chance to see it. :3
Maybe you have seen it? no? yes?

Anyways,
It's a lovely story about a girl
in high school who falls for a guy
that already has a girlfriend. And
strangely, she is clumsy and can talk
to cats. She saves a cat from almost
being killed by a truck driver, and
these strange cats say they are indebted
to her, so they will give her many
presents, and let her marry the
prince cat >!>!>!
It's all about her and
believing in herself, and going
through a different world where
everything she knows is not what it is.

Friends

Well,
lately i have been thinking.
I think it took at least a month
just to hang out with Jessica
because of the trip i had to DISNEY,
then she was all "my boyfriend is leaving
for new york. and i want to say goodbye",
then,
"i have things to do with my family today".
which that one i think she just didn't tell
me or just didn't want to hang out. >_>
And when we finally get to hang out,
she brings Faye. I have nothing
against Faye, but when Jessica and Faye are
together, I feel like the 3rd wheel.
Which is a feeling i don't like. T__T
So with bringing Faye,
that made me think that Jessica was thinking,
"well i might be bored with only Jessy,
so i will bring someone else too."

Then I was thinking about what she told me
over the phone,
the last time we talked. She was saying something
like,
"Well I wasn't suppose to tell you this, but
now that you guys aren't going out, it doesn't
really matter....Christine told me that she was
shocked that Ted was going out with you...and that
she liked him, but now that he was going out
with you, she wasn't interested".
First,
I asked Christine what she liked about him before
I asked him out because I had a feeling that she
liked him more than a friend. And she told me that
he is too short, not the right clothes style,
always talks about himself, and never listens. And
that she likes guys that are taller than her, and wear
things like abercrombie/fitch/etc... [At
the time this made me think, "ok. she doesn't like
him."] But now that i think about it, it makes me
realize the she lied and tried to play that game of
"if i make him look bad, she won't be interested
anymore game". Honestly....lying doesn't work. People
should be honest with what they want. If she would
have just told the truth, I wouldn't have asked him
out. But what really ticked me off was that,
Jessica was talking about me behind my back, and can't
keep a secret. This is what Jessica didn't think of
when she told me this whole Christine thing. (Christine
is the girl that lied by the way.)

And another thing,
during badminton season, all 4 of them [Jessica, Faye,
Christine, and name-who's-not-really-important-in-this-story]
all were practicing with each other. I tried to try
to practice with most of them so it would be practice
for me and them at the same time.
But with Christine having an issue with me, Jessica
talking with Christine therefore making me look
bad, Faye(whos personality is not the leader) and Jessica
together, plus the 4th person always wanting to practice
with only her partner (who used to be mine >_>); as
you can see, there is no room for me.

And with all this,
I realize that Jessica/Faye/Christine/4th were
not really wanting to be my friend. It hurts the most
especially from Jessica. We had some very personal
conversations, and i still feel like she can't
relate to me very well. What the hell?
With things like talking about me behind my back,
not sure if she can keeps anyone's [including mine]
secrets, and not really wanting to hang out,
it really makes me think she really isn't my friend
after all. <_<

There is nothing i can do about this really.
Actually, about 2 or 3 weeks ago I told myself
that i wasn't going to try to hang out with
Jessica until she asks me. (This was after she
left me a message saying "actually i can never hang
out on weekends, i can only hang out on weekdays.".)
I haven't said since. And since then,
she hasn't send me other messages. I put her up
to the test to see if she really wanted to be
with me, and she passed the test.
She proved to me that,
after all she didn't want to try to be my
friend. This really hurts me. -_-
Well, now I'll just send her a message saying hi,
to see what she says back.
But there are no guarantees anymore.

But after all of this thinking and realizing,
I am ready for college.
I hope Christine can be honest with herself
and those around her.
And hopefully Jessica and Faye will be
leaders and not followers.
There is 2 weeks left of summer,
and i can't wait. Maybe I will
find someone better. ^^

Saikano

Saikano
Release: 2000
Artist/Author: [Kikuchi Naoe]Takahashi Shin
Alternate Title: She, The Ultimate Weapon

I don't know why I did not talk about this
before,
but this is one of my favorite!!!! :3
It's a lovely story about a girl named Chise
who is just like any normal high school senior,
except
she tends to be very clumsy but is great when
it comes to subjects like geography. I guess
that is because she is part robot made to be
part of the armed forces to protect her country.
I guess she is not normal after all...
Meanwhile,
she starts to have a relationship with Shuji
[another high school senior] who is also very
clumsy, especially when it comes to love.
How will he be able to protect his army robot
girlfriend from danger when she is the one
fighting? Will they be able to have a normal
life, even though chaos is about?
The last love song in this little planet.

Its quite lengthy,
so take your time. ^^
There is no rush.

Imadoki

Release: year 2000
Author/Artist: Yuu Watase

So,
Yuu Watase is one of my favorite manga
artists. I love all of her work. Especially
Ayashi No Ceres. (This one you can find in
any library....or you can go to this link provided
below.)My point is,
her stuff is awesome!! :3 I have already read this
manga twice. xD I guess i am a dork?
Only 5 books long. O_O

Imadoki:::--->
Tanpopo Yamazaki moves from Hokkaido to Tokyo
in hopes to go meet new friends in her new school
for the elite.
Imadoki! (Nowadays) follows the trials and
tribulations of a budding horticulturist as she
makes her way down the winding road to friendship.
From Yuu Watase, one of Japan's most beloved
shôjo artists, Imadoki! packs comedic charm and
heartfelt antics into an adorable bouquet of
whimsical fantasy.

And once again,
another work from Yuu Watase.
A much older work,
yet still popular for its artwork and storyline.
Ayashi No Ceres

Release: May 1996 - March 2000
Aya and her twin brother Aki belong to a strange
family, with a strange inheritance in genes.
When Aya and Aki celebrate their 16th birthday,
something isn't right.
Instead, they find themselves to be part of a strange
family ritual.Aya is found to be the reincarnation
of a celestial maiden and upon reaching the age
of sixteen her body is able to bring forth a
powerful, celestial maiden called Ceres.
And her family wants to kill her????

anyways,
i know this one is a little older,
but the artistic value is still good, and the
story will keep you awake!
I really like this manga, and the fact that it
gives odd situations that you probably will not
see everyday.
This one is a LOT longer than Imadoki, so please
be careful. ^^;

Tada Kimi Wo Aishiteru

Alternative Title: Heavenly Forest /
Loving You, Just So /
Just, Loving You
Release: January 2006
Japan Casts: Aoi Miyazaki, Asae Onishi,
Hiroshi Tamaki, Keisuke Koide,
Meisa Kuroki , Misa Uehara, Munetaka Aoki

Makoto is a shy guy who tends to avoid
everyone, until he meets Shizuru. Shizuru
makes him open up to her, and they become
friends and hang out in a forest very
hidden from the public.
Once Makoto starts liking a girl, Miyuki,
from college; Shizuru decides to become her
friend. Why is this??? Hmmm....
Then,
Shizuru is asked by Makoto what she wants
for her birthday. With her interest in a
photography contest, Shizuru wants a photo
of them kissing in the hidden forest.

Since that day of the forest kiss Shizuru
disappears from Makoto's life.

This is a good movie. ^^
When I can't figure out the ending,
it means the movie definitely is a bit
hard to think what will come next.
Obviously,
they reveal it to you!! Duh,
if they didn't,
the movie wouldn't sell. :3
Another romance movie,
that i think should be worth watching. ^^v

Koizora The Movie

Release: November 2007
Japan Casts:
Aragaki Yui, Miura Haruma

" Portrays the first love of the highschoolers,
it shows the warmth from the family,
the importance of life, the bonds with friends,
and the common happenings of teens, and
through it all Mika and Hiro's love story
gets unwound. "

I really like this movie ^^
and it brings me to tears.
There is also a drama for this,
so if you want to watch that first,
go ahead.
I didn't watch the drama....
simply because I was too lazy. ^^;;;;
Plus,
the guy in this movie is wayyyy
hotter too. :3

I know sometimes the usual love story
with sappy drama gets a little boring,
but this one is an exception. ^^v

If you don't know
how to access,
please read the profile info on top right
of this website please.!.
I do not want to repeat myself
in every post. >_>

Hot Gimmick

Alternative Title: ホットギミック[Hotto Gimikku]
Release:December 2000 - July 2005
Total: 12 Volumes [not that long...]

" Miki Aihara turned the manga
world upside down with her
salacious, outrageous, and funny
hit series. If you think being a teenager
in America is hard, wait until
you read Hot Gimmick. These Tokyo
boys and girls are really messed up! "

" Unlike most shoujo, Hot Gimmick
isn't all sweet boys and rose petals.
It's much more real and complex, and
sometimes even chilling. The artwork
is top-notch, the drama is high-tension,
and I couldn't help but keep on rooting
for hapless heroine, Hatsumi, as she
deals with real life problems: family ties,
blackmail, awkward first kisses, and a
very disapproving landlady. What's not
to love? "
~ Tania del Rio, writer/artist of
Sabrina The Teenage Witch

Personally,
I really like this manga,
that I bought the first 3 books in
a special edition that only cost about
12 - 15 dollars$ !!!!! :3
Like it is written above,
its about basic teenage drama
and it puts you in that mode of,
"I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!!".
And this site has it completed ^^,
unlike other sites. >_>

Hope you enjoy. ^^v

Grave Of The Fireflies [Live Action]

This is SUCH a sad movie,
it made me cry. TT_TT
I am lame when it comes to
crying at movies....I guess
that is a girly side of me.
But anyways,
this movie sets time during WWII.
When Japan is bombed numerous times
by the Americans.
The story centers around a young
brother and sister [Setsuko and Seita]
who have nothing
but the fireflies at night to keep
them entertained.

After an air raid,
their mother dies, so they stay at their
aunts house who provides them with food.
But how long can a person stay mental
during a war?
The food rations are getting smaller as
time passes,
and the relationship between Setsuko, Seita,
and their aunt are not improving.

If only there wasn't a thing like war.
Honestly,
this movie made me sad and mad at the same
time. Just like "Nobody Knows" movie. It has
a lot of emotional points to think about
but there is a point why these movies
are so good.
Enjoy please ^^v

Gigolo Wannabe

This strange movie somehow got my attention,
although it took me a while to watch it. ^^;;
I recommend to take a break in between the movie
since it feels a little long,
but its a good movie. ^^v

About 7 men who are desperate for money,
they come to this place to audition as 'hosts'.
Only to find out that the man
they were hired by scammened them all and
also took their deposit money.
With nothing left,
they turn this place "Dog Days" into a shabby
host bar, and try to win back some money.
Meanwhile,
the granddaughter of the sympathetic bar
owner has a serious heart condition.
And a typhoon hits them. O_O
Will they be able to have a successful host
club? Will the granddaughter survive long enough?
With 7 men,
they find themselves learning about love,
friendship, and trust.

Have a good time. ^^v

Little Time Left >_>

Sooooo,
summer is almost over. TT_TT
I'm a little nervous because I
still didn't do a walk-about
with my schedule,
and being in a new campus is all:
"OMG, will I meet friends?"
"Am I going to get to class on time?"
"Will I be encouraged enough to study
that much on my own?"
"How will I wake up in the morning
for college now? Will it be hard/easy?"
"Will the clubs be fun?"
"Am I going to retain everything
that I have studied in the summer for
japanese?"
and so on....

I guess I should not worry that much,
being that college is just one of those
other steps in life. -_-''
But I can't help to still ask questions.

Oh and some updates::
episode 3 for Buzzer Beat and Koishite are out! ^_^v
personally,
I like Buzzer Beat better...since the
acting is better and the story isn't that corny.

In other news,
I decided to get a haircut this friday?weekend?
My hair was kind of longer than I want.
So I want it to touch my shoulders,
and I will let it grow just a little longer,
but not much.

I have been so tired lately. Not because of
the stress of college coming soon,
but I have been remodeling my closet.
This means,
I took out some junk, threw out some useless ones,
carved the color from the bookshelf and layed on its
side, but the books in size order, buy some boxes/shelf
looking things to put some of my clothes in.
[I don't hang up all of my clothes...>_<]
Put more box like things in my closet of my bathroom
for more personal clothes....
And now,
I don't know what to do with my art things. -_-
Aghh....the problems never end. -_-
And also means it will take a while to post more
things here. Sorry o>_<.

....More stuff to come later.
I promise ^_^v
