Pretend Chapter 5 and 6

I've started typing these chaps last night, or the night before that... haha, hmm... Still no linkies or javascript codes for jumping chapters, I know I said I'll do it when I get the time. Actually, I had some time for it before, but I'm too lazy... :) I'll leave the codes for A Phone Call Away for now, and I'll try to add the links for the other stories later.

After I post this, I will read A Phone Call Away again and recall things. Ok, I've already started typing the events I've just recently planned, but I cannot say for sure when I'm going to finish it. An Idiot's guide to falling in love will be updated later, The starting lines for the next chapter have already been typed, just waiting for the continuation

Here's the 5th and 6th Chapter of Pretend, I hope you like it :)

Zettai Kareshi Live Action First Impressions


Zettai Kareshi Chart from wiki

I’ve just finished watching Zettai Kareshi Live action and *wait* KYAAAAAAAAAA! It’s really good!! It’ll surely be a part of my favorite Live Actions and JDrama series.

As I have mentioned before, I haven’t read the manga, so I cannot compare the live action with the original manga, but from what I saw (First Episode) it’s very very very very good.

All righty, brief overview:

Riko is a girl who had a lot of unrequited love experiences since she was young. She gets rejected by every guy she falls in love with. One time, while having some coffee with the guy she likes, a full time worker in the company she’s working in, she was automatically rejected, not even given the chance to confess. Well what happened was, erm… because of the incident, she went to a certain restaurant where she seems to blurt out her heartaches, while she was drinking, a guy who was then known to be from a company called Kronos Heaven, told her that he can help her change her life.

She was then brought to a place where she was asked to answer different questions regarding her “ideal boyfriend”. She participated and answered the questions given to her, thinking that Kronos Heaven is a matchmaking company. Actually, she insisted that she doesn’t need any help, left the building and assumed the event done and irrelevant. Little did she know that something that would really change her life is coming her way.

One day, while she was preparing to go to work, a huge package arrived and when she opened it, she saw a guy. Just when she was getting freaked out, the guy from Kronos Heaven called her and explained things. She read the manual that came with the package and it said a kiss is needed for it to boot up. She did what the manual instructed but there wasn’t any effect… well that was until she came home after work. The robot lover wakes up and a lot of very interesting things happened.

I’ll stop here, before I summarize the whole episode. Gomen, I’m extremely loving the series that I cannot help it.

Anyways, this is going to be a love triangle thingy… I tell you Soshi (a.k.a Nanba-senpai (haha I just love him) real name: Mizushima Hiro) plays his role really well (KYAAAA!!) see? I just love him… and Night (Tsuchiya of Gokusen 2… real name: Hayami Mokomichi) is just adorable, I mean really… They don’t call it Absolute Boyfriend for nothing, he’s well programmed haha! Riko’s ideal boyfriend.

I’ve only seen the first episode, since only the first episode is subbed during this time, but I highly recommend it. Haha, if you love romance-comedy series that is… I personally love it! (I’ve said this so many times already… haha can’t help it). I’ll surely be waiting for the next subbed episodes and I’ll surely be watching this series. ^__^

ja ne!

Zettai Kareshi Live Action


Zettai Kareshi or Absolute Boyfriend is now adapted to a Live Action!! Yupz, actually, I’ve only ever read the synopsis of this well known manga series and I think it’s very very interesting, I’m not much of a manga reader, but I’ll probably be reading it after I finish reading Koukou Debut, Gakuen Alice and after I’m through watching the Live Action series.

I’m not going to blurt out any comments regarding the show, as I haven’t seen the first episode yet. I’ve only made a quick glance, forward forward forward thingy, because it’s already late and the first episode runs for almost an hour or so... But I’m very excited to watch this. I suppose this is going to be another jdrama/live action I’ll surely be looking forward to. ^__^

The three main characters are played by:

Hayami Mokomichi (Tsuchiya of Gokusen 2) as Tenjo Night
Aibu Saki as Izawa Riko
Mizushima Hiro (Nanba-senpai of HanaKimi and Tendou or Kamen Rider Kabuto of Kamen Rider Kabuto) as Asamoto Soshi

Pretend Chapter 4

I've said a while ago that "I'm currently working on the fourth chapter" Well, I've already finished it so I'll be posting it now. Haha, we don't have a lot of things to do so I'm taking the time updating stuffs. XD

I've already finished downloading some anime episodes on my "currently watching" list... It's already 11:31pm my time, I know it's still too early to sleep but I've been sleeping very late these past few weeks so I had to sleep early on the next days... hmm... I don't think that makes sense... anyway, I'm still trying to decide if I'm watching some of the episodes now, or if I'm going to save them for later. haha, I think I'll make up my mind after I post this post.

This is, as I've mentioned, the fourth Chapter of Pretend, I know I've said from one of my past posts that this Story is only going to have 5 chapters(?) or something, but it turns out that it's not possible to have the story completed in 5, well it is possible, but I'll have to cut a lot of parts, condense some parts and speed up the events more. That's not a very good idea (me thinks
(I originally planned a short story, but I got too overwhelmed... gomen)). I've already typed down the events I plan on making for the story so I wouldn't forget them (hopefully) I typed it on the document I'm editing the chapters on so I wouldn't have a hard time finding the file.

I think I've said too much... anyways, here's the fourth chapter of Pretend, I hope you like it.
Pretend Chapter 4

Pretend Chapter 2 and 3

The second and third chapters are up. It's long been uploaded but I was still thinking whether to post it here or not. But since I feel it's already all right, here it is... haha, I'm currently working on the fourth chapter and hopefully it would turn out fine.

Btw, Obaa-sama is a formal way of saying Grandmother (most of the people using it are the rich ones... as observed on most animes), Obaa-chan means the same only without being too formal.
Onee-chan means older sister, Okaa-san means mother

I'm using those terms on this chapter... :D Scratch that, I used it on the fourth chapter, not on the 2nd or 3rd, Gomenasai :)

Oh and I'll have to apologize, I'm too lazy to put javascript codes for jumping pages, I've only managed to put it on A Phone Call Away, the other stories... well, I'll try to put some when I get the time, ne?

Pretend Chapter 2

Pretend Chapter 3

I hope you like it, thanks :D

Thank You!!

I was Devastated when I heard the news that our system did not make it. Yep, depressed and well a bit emotional, haha! Me NOT emo really, it’s just that, I felt terrible hearing the verdict given to our group last night that I had a hard time coping with myself. Haha!

But I’m all right now, I feel very thankful and grateful for knowing such nice friends who listened to my rants, told me that everything’s going to be all right, not to loose hope… Guys, salamat jud kaayo so much! And sorry if medyo bitter ang akong mood earlier.

Now when I recall the things I’ve been thinking and doing I realized the lameness of them. My friends and my family made me remember that worrying and sulking over things that had already happened will only bring me more problems. What’s done is done and what I should do now is to take the experience and the lessons with me, Pray to God for guidance and do better next time. diba? Sa akong group mates, who I’m sure felt the same way I did, I’m sure we’ll manage, haha! Kaya nato ni… bawi lng ta. :)

Again, Salamat! ^__^

Bwahaha, I’ll be watching all the anime episodes I haven’t seen yet for now, haha, Me loves ANIME, ANIME is good, vewy vewy good… :D Visit my other blog Sweet Reflections, if you have time, it’s about anime, lots and lots of anime… :)

Haha, ja-ne~!

Nodame Cantabile Live Action


Nodame Cantabile Live Action is one of my favorite jdramas. It's also one of the best Live Action series I've seen. It's so much better than the anime (Personal Opinion), well the anime is still good, but the Live action is so much better. The plot revolves around classical music, much like La Corda d'Oro Primmo Passo, but the story's totally different. Nodame Cantabile's is a love-comedy series, well there is actually more comedy than romance, it's very very entertaining.

Brief overview. Nodame Cantabile is mainly about two music students who both study the piano. The guy, Chiaki Shinichi is an excellent piano player with a fear of riding aircrafts, or ships due to some horrible experiences when he was still very young. This prevents him from leaving the country and pursuing the thing he really wants to do, conduct. He wants to be a conductor like Vienna-sensei, a popular conductor. Well what happened was, while he was lying outside his apartment door, drunk, a certain girl, by the name Noda Megumi, Nodame for short recognized him and brought him inside her super messy, dumpster like apartment. He wakes up with the lovely sound of Nodame's piano skills and the terrible smell of her garbage-filled room. And that started it all. The serious Chiaki who thinks of everything around him in the country he was living in boring, found someone who turned his world upside down.

It's a very interesting drama, lots of laughs and really good music. The characters are all so lovable, and the story's really sweet. It's something worth watching (me thinks). :D

Bad Credit

The term Bad Credit is not unusual to people these days. It is a reality that concerns most since there are certain disadvantages of having bad credit credit cards or bad credit loans.

For things like these, it’s always good to know that there are people who are eager to help those with bad credits. BadCreditOffers, for instance provides people with a list of credit offers that would best suit them. It allows you to compare Credit Cards, Home Loans, Auto Loans, Personal Loans and it offers Credit & Debt Help for fixing your debts and a Credit report to help you monitor your credit.

Just Listenin'

I've been listening to Jason Mraz' album Waiting for My Rocket to Come, haha I know it isn't new but it's one of my favorites, I just love his music. Hmm... Normally I'd listen to Nickelback, Creed, The Darkness, Dashboard, Vertical Horizon, Sugar Ray, some really old songs and many many more, and most of the music I'm so in love with are those-- well, as my younger sister likes to describe them 'so yesterday'. Well actually, I don't really care haha! I love them and I enjoy listening to them. I believe that's what's important, besides, music is something that doesn't go old, right? :D haha or is it me just being weird, anyways, I'm pretty much happy with my choice of songs.

By the way, I haven't updated any chaps yet, Well the new story 'Pretend' chapter 2 and 3 are already uploaded, some of my friends' have already read it, but I won't be posting the link here yet, as I still have to think of a decent plot for the fourth chapter. :D

Batman Gotham Knight

Batman-- Japanese Anime Style! I got really excited when I saw this news, I mean, we all know Batman. And most of us had probably seen the different Batman movies, Batman cartoons, and now finally! they decided to make it an anime. Well, I'm so looking forward to this because I am a fan of anime shows and I also like Batman so this is definitely something I'd like to see. American concept meets Japanese art.

Well, from the video clip which is posted below and from some of the articles I've read, It consists of 6 movies, by six great anime directors

-Have I Got A Story For You
-Crossfire
-Field Test
-In Darkness Dwells
-Working Through Pain
-Deadshot

Pretend Chapter 1

Me again. :D This is the first chapter of the new story I'm working on. It's called Pretend. Hmm... I've just re-read the first chapter and erm... I'm still not sure on this one so please tell me what you think about it, whether or not I should continue the story. I've made four chapters of it by the way, but as I've said, I'm not sure, when I read the whole thing I get the feeling that the story's way way rushed so erm... I'll try to read the whole thing again and see if it's all right the second time.

Yeah, for the synopsis...
Kagurazaka Ken is a famous singer who was chased by his fans. It's not an unusual event for a guy like him, but one time something unexpected happens. He meets a girl and asks him to pretend. :D

Like I said, I'm not good with summaries... haha, but please read anyway. :D

It's over here
