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. ^^;

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
