Yesterday Was A Digimon Friday

It was since 2 years ago when i decided to re-watch Digimon Frontier, the year before, i decided to watch Digimon Tamers. But on the same year i watched Digimon Frontier, i also had a shot on watching Digimon Savers aka Digimon Data Squad. But hey, where did it all started? It all started before i become a 6th Grader back in the year 2000 when i decided to watch Digimon Adventure & the year later when i was a 7th Grader, heading on my way to graduation, i decided to watch Digimon Adventure 02. Ok, so why in 2007 i decided to re-watch Digimon Tamers & the year later, 2008, i decided to re-watch Digimon Frontier? Just because when the 2 Digimon shows were aired in Cartoon Network's Toonami Programing Block, i didn't make it to watch the first few episodes. It took me 4-5 years to know more about Tamers & Frontier all over again. I even found a magazine article related to Digimon Frontier on the September 2003 issue of K-Zone then. I nearly forgot, before i become a High School Freshman, i decided to re-watch Digimon Adventure 02 from start to finish on Saturday mornings. From April 2002 to March 2003. Whoa, that was a long time, i guess. But nonetheless, i admitted myself that i was a Digimon fan. But good thing when i got started to watch Digimon, i learned how to draw the main characters since the character art used in the first 4 Digimon Series (Adventure, Adventure 02, Tamers & Frontier) were slightly easy. Digimon Savers was quite hard since it's like it's kinda hard to draw, but never mind. & i found out it's been a decade since i watched Digimon for the very first time. Boy, oh boy.

Right now, i'm playing the full version of the Digimon Frontier Opening Theme on my MP3 Player. (Somehow, if i have my dad's MP4 Player since he told me last summer that he will give that to me because he decided to buy a new MP4 Player or maybe an iPod for himself, i'll upload the full version opening themes from Digimon Adventure 01, Tamers & Savers & the Evolution Themes involved in the 1st 4 series.) I have some memory recall whenever i play that tune on my MP3 Player & sing some parts of the song in it. Since a few days ago, i 'favorited' some Digimon Frontier clips on my YT Channel & even got the chance to watch some clips from Digimon Frontier & Digimon Tamers also on YT. Now i know that if i watched Digimon Tamers in the US, the 3rd Stage of Digivolution is the 'Biomerge' Digivolution, when a Digimon & it's Tamer merged into one & evolving a more powerful Digimon. & i still know that in Digimon Frontier, the Beast Spirits are more powerful than the human spirits, so that's why the Frontier Digi-Destined yells whenever they go 'Beast Spirit Evolution!' (BECAUSE IT HURTS!) The ultimate Frontier must-watch is the Fusion Evolution. Takuya & Kouji were the men of the moment there. (Watch out for that!)

I just found out that 3 years ago, back in the year 2007, Digimon Celebrated it's 10th Year Anniversary & there were some pics related to the 10 years/ a decade of Digimon! This pic (above) is like Digimon meets Lucky Star since the pic resembles the opening TV intro of Lucky Star. But i was curious why Masaru of Digimon Savers doesn't wear goggles? Never mind. He's the oldest of the 5 Digimon World Kings as like he's the big brother of the 5-boy pack whose missions is to save the Digimon World from the evil forces & even evil Digimons. So, i'm hooked on Digimon again, i guess.

Maui Villanueva Jokes That I DO NOT APPROVE!

Ok, i just can't believe that FEU won over the UAAP'S legendary rivals? On opening weekend, FEU gives defending champions Ateneo their first loss! & then yesterday, FEU gives a double overtime boo-boo to host school La Salle! Hmm, maybe some of the fearless forecasts for the UAAP Season 73 was right, FEU will be one of the teams who will win this season. But, i don't know if FEU will do it or the rivals, Ateneo & La Salle will just duke it all out for the 6th tittle. Both teams have 5 tittles each, but about the 6th tittle? May the best team wins.

Now, for the main course. It was since 2 years ago when my mom & my little brother punned me with some Maui Villanueva jokes. Some, i approve, while some, I DO NOT APPROVE! Like, my mom puns Maui that he was like an old man. Geh, i don't approve that joke, mom. Mom even punned the un-approved Maui joke from 2 years ago that Maui is like a sick man? NO WAY! Maui's eye-bags were somehow not that bad or dark to make him look like a insomniac. By the way, i have these Maui-like eye-bags for about a few years & i was thinking about buying a Garnier Brightening Eye Roll-On since these eye-bags bothers me. Last summer, while watching the FilOil Flying V Pre-Season Invitational & the game? Ateneo vs. La Salle. A primer to the anticipated face-off of the long-time rivals to be exact. My little brother keeps punning Maui whenever he shoots & i cheer for him. For me, Maui is like my summer love. But for my little brother, Maui is like a Japanese-looking idiot! WTFH? I DO NOT APPROVE THAT MAUI JOKE! I could consider that Maui will make it to the Toku scene because of his Japanese-like looks. (Meh, i don't consider he's giving Boukenger's Mitsuomi Takahashi a run for his money since  Bouken Red does look like Nico Salva. ^_^ As in, Bouken Red looks like the Blue Eagle 6th Man Of The Conference from last season/Dean's Lister for the 2nd semester.) Sometimes, i don't approve some Maui jokes that could hurt him.

I'll just consider myself as a crazy Maui Villanueva fangirl. But sometimes, there are some Maui jokes that i could approve, while some, I DO NOT APPROVE! 

Blue-Minded, Green-Minded, Rivalry-Minded

Where is my mind? Is my mind stuck in a university at the heart of Taft Avenue? Or it will still be stuck in a campus at the heart of Katipunan Avenue? Or should i go both? That's the big problem for a girl like me who is a big fan of UAAP's Powerhouse schools/ long-time rivals. But hey, La Salle & Ateneo were the rivals of the rivals of college basketball. I even put some rivalry-related twists from what i've heard & seen on the TV, the newspapers, the magazines & the internet. Like when did you found out that fried chicken is like a 'fried eagle'? Oh crap, i was even wishing that Ateneo will bounce back after their sorry loss to La Salle last Saturday. Last Saturday was no exception.

Even i missed out the ADMU-DLSU game & i found out who won via the internet. Dinner was crazy, my mom's sister who is 1 of my favorite aunties treated us for dinner. At Max's! Fried Chicken er. Eagle for dinner. It was like i had a 'Dinner w/ the Green Archers'. Nah, it's more like 'Dinner w/ the Rivals'. (Imagine players of ADMU & DLSU treating you for dinner? Cool.) The topic during dinner is about my cousin's college exams. Ace, my cousin is a High School Senior, he wants to study at DLSU since it's near to home. It's kinda like the time my little sister, Puffy who is working hard to surpass a college exam, she decided to stay at Katipunan Avenue & study at ADMU. That's where the Ateneo craze started for someone like me. But this time, the La Salle craze is just getting started. (Like what's next for me, La Salle goodies aside from Ateneo goodies? Great!)

Name of the moment: M-A-U-I--V-I-L-L-A-N-U-E-V-A.

(What the heck?) I could always think that my eyebags were like Maui's & my mom pulls out those cheesy Maui Jokes whenever La Salle has a game against their opponents, Ateneo included. Mom even thinks that Maui is like a sick-stricken kid? I cannot accept that! I DO NOT APPROVE! My little brother even pulled out some Maui Jokes from last summer during a pre-season tournament & he said that Maui is like a Japanese-looking kid who is an insomniac. But i said, Maui is more like a Male Japanese Superhero potential because of his good looks. (Like what if Maui would be a Green Archer-cum-Toku hero? I wish he could make it to a Super Sentai series, the perfect boy in Green or Black, since he's from DLSU.) Maui-san will always be my crush in La Salle. :)

Recently, i want to buy some back & present issues of Rebound Magazine since the magazine is all about college basketball. The latest issue has the best yet popular players of the Ateneo Blue Eagles on the cover. & of course, the best players from the best team has the best coach, Coach Norman Black. So it looks like this weekend, i'll give it a shot on buying Rebound Magazine. So, where should i be? On Archer Territory? On Eagle Territoy? Or the territory of the rivals? Never mind.

Accidentally Thinking & Discovering

There are some thoughts i just thought it by accident. If that's not enough, if you think a lot of things by accident, it will be crazy. But for me, whenever the event has a slight change, time to change & commence the back-up plan. For now, here are some accidental thoughts & discoveries i just found out about today.

 

-I can get over problems fast. Everyone is telling me not to remember the past problems & move on. But guess what, you can even learn an important moral lesson from mistakes. Good thing i learned some moral lessons from mistakes.

-Dad didn't mail my 2 letters to my former classmate? Whoa! That was oh-so last year! I remember i always tell my dad to mail the snail mails that i send to my former classmates. Now it looks like i need to mail the 2 unsent letters all by myself. 

 

-After watching the UAAP Season 73 Opening day, did i notice to myself that i have a crush on Enchong Dee after he was the 'cute man in the Green Archer suit'? Yikes! No wonder the girls who watched the UAAP Season 73 Opening Ceremonies either at the Big Dome/Araneta Coliseum or watching it on TV started to scream at Enchong. & during the Team Captains Parade, DLSU Green Archers Team Captain Simon Atkins was ignored? Nope, maybe not. Don't worry Simon-chan, everything will be fine, you're cute anyway.

-Finding a cute guy is somewhat by accident, the main reason why i want to watch Tekken on theaters by next month are 2 things: One, it's based from a video game which my cousin & i played. (Bad news, i always lost, i win sometimes. Boo-hoo.) & two, John Foo, who plays Jin Kazama is hot! He's the cute Chinese-Irish actor who plays the lead character. Great, the last time i watched a movie was 2 years ago, i watched Speed Racer during that time. Now it looks like i want to watch Tekken.

 

-I want to give my pink-colored Sony CD Walkman it's needed repair, c'mon, after it's repaired. got to buy a new pair of headphones & buy some CD's. I need to find the Rain It's Raining CD/DVD which i got it as a b-day gift from my little sister's former classmate. Anyway, i love Pink, i remember what Vida said in the 2nd ep of PR Mystic Force. "Even i don't like pink, maybe i will love this." C'mon, pink is almost for everyone, not just for girls.

-Lastly, i found out by accident about the players of ADMU & DLSU. So that's why i almost know everything about them. So that's why watching the UAAP & reading some references from magazines & newspapers about them makes me understand about the changes of both teams. 

 

So, be careful while thinking. That's the rule.

The Eye Candy UAAP Intro That Is UAAP Season 73

Bad news: La Salle won over Ateneo in a 'come-from-behind' basis, thanks to their super Sophomore player Samuel Joseph Marata, better known as Sam & for a Kawaii term, i call him Sammy. (Isn't it Kawaii? I do call the players of ADMU & DLSU in a Kawaii term, also considered a Kawaii term is putting a -chan next to their name. eg: Sam-chan.) Every Ateneo fan is blaming on Bacon Austria since yesterday. Never mind, there's always the 2nd round. Maybe Ateneo has a plan under their sleeves.

Good news: For 10 years, i've never found out that the opening intro of UAAP Season 73 has never been this 'eye-candy'. Seeing players speaking it out about their teams when they're on the UAAP hardcourt is all about what it will be for them if they're wearing their team's jerseys & dribble the ball on the hardcourt, talking about how did they play their game. Old & new elements were into the scene, the old is the returning players, while the new are their..... OUTFITS? Either yes or no, i suppose. (The new outfits i could consider are the Nike-Ateneo Blue & White jackets that Nico Salva & Eric Salamat wore & the Adidas-La Salle Centennial Green & Black Jacket that Simon Atkins wore.) This intro has never been made since Studio 23 started to air the UAAP Games by July 2000. I got started to remember what every player said during the opening intro, but i was looking after only for the Rivals. (Nico Salva & Eric Salamat of ADMU, Sam Marata & Simon Atkins of DLSU.) Even it was almost been a decade, Studio 23 does deliver the UAAP Games to the times we will found out that college basketball will be a hit. But i guess, a Green Archer said this about the UAAP Games:

"There are many stories to see, hear & feel at the UAAP." -Simon Atkins, Guard & Team Captain, DLSU Green Archers.

Ok, now i have to remember the quotes what Nico, Eric & Sam said at the UAAP Season 73 Opening Intro.

Rivalry Day!

This is it, the biggest game of them all if you're a long-time follower of the UAAP Games, or you're just new to the UAAP World & you are going to watch the best game of them all, get ready when the clash of the 2 Powerhouse Universities are up to give the best game ever. It's all about Halikinu vs. Retikano, Loyola vs. Taft, Eagles vs. Archers or simply enough, Blue vs. Green. 2-time UAAP Champs Ateneo De Manila University is up against UAAP Season 73 Host De La Salle University, the question is, who will prevail more? It's now about Domination vs. Redemption. Now, i'll share some of what i know about this Blue vs. Green Rivalry since i watched it on the year 2000 when Studio 23 finally aired the UAAP Games. (I was a 6th Grader during that time & i don't have any idea what the UAAP is all about. My favorite team then was La Salle but it was the year 2007 where i found out that Ateneo will be also my favorite team, despite that 2007 was the so-called 'Chris Tiu era'.) 

Year 2000, oh, i was a 6th Grader then, i was even thinking what show i should watch then & still, i have a Power Rangers hangover. (Freshman Year HS of the year 2004 hangs me back for the Power Rangers fever despite watching the UAAP Games!) So, on a Saturday, around July of that year, i tuned in to Studio 23 & watched the UAAP Games. Good thing the 1st game was the red-hot ADMU-DLSU Game. Surprise, La Salle wins. It took me almost the year 2001 where this time, i was a 7th Grader, before the start of classes, i got started to buy the Sports USA-UAAP Tees which are sold at SM Department Store since the year 2000. Best finds: La Salle & Ateneo. I first bought a La Salle white tee & followed by an Ateneo white tee. I could always wear both tees at PE Class since the rule is to wear a white tee after PE Class. (Wow, it looks like the Ateneo tee is with me for 9 years! Whoa!) I nearly forgot that when i was a 6th Grader, i used to have a DLSU cap them from my dad, i wear that cap every PE Class. But it was not until the year 2007 where i suddenly got some enough knowledge about the ADMU-DLSU Games despite having my little sister studying at ADMU. 2007, 2008 & the Sesquicentennial year of 2009 were the years i got some knowledge about Ateneo. From knowing the buildings & landmarks inside the campus which is now located in the heart of Katipunan Avenue, memorizing some cheers like 'Halikinu' & 'Blue Eagle The King' (movements included), memorizing 'Song For Mary' just because my little sister gave me the crash course of the Ateneo-La Salle games for Ateneo fans & of course, knowing who is in the Blue Eagles roster under head coach Norman Black. (Buying Ateneo goodies from the LSB inside the MVP Hall is either a requirement or option.) The craziest of them all, the post-game celebrations & buying magazines which has some Ateneo-related articles or articles related to either DLSU or ADMU.

By 4pm, the Araneta Coliseum will be divided in half, one is a sea of green, representing La Salle & the other one is an ocean of Blue, representing Ateneo. The question is, which side are you on? But for now, this is it, the rivalry is finally here.

KR Blade-Tan Paper Dolls: A Total Must-Print!

Ok, after i surfed to Kazuu's Rider-tan site: http://www.geocities.jp/kazuu_hp Around today, it looks like i found the perfect sets of paper dolls. But i guess i found out it's been a few years, 8 years to be exact, but it's never too late. I suddenly found what should i print, the KR Blade-tan paper doll. But it was only for Blade-tan. (Like where are the other 3? Like Garren-tan, Chalice-tan & Leangle-tan? Never mind, maybe Kazuu is working is working on it.) Somehow, maybe Kazuu will have some Rider-tan paper dolls for the other Rider-tans. I'll be just looking forward for that. 

But the hardest thing i would ever do on it, print the paper dolls on a clean sheet of paper & cutting it, i used a cutter on it to cut the parts & trim it using the scissors. I kept it on an envelope, it's like a few years ago, i always put my paper dolls in an envelope. I started to play some paper dolls when i was a 3rd Grade, the super-cute Sailor Moon paper dolls. It just reminded me of having 2 Sailor Moon notebooks that i used when i was a 3rd Grader. But it looks like that was a part of my good memories when i was a 3rd Grader, but when i entered 1st year High School, does a Slam Dunk paper doll count? I said yes. (Yikes!) But ok, if what i said here that Kazuu will work w/ the other 3 KR Blade-tan paper dolls, it looks like i will surely print them, don't worry, i have the materials ready. 

Rivals, Shabby Chic Thoughts & A Mystery Shampoo

It's been a week or 2 after the UAAP Games but i recently got hooked on this so-called 'mystery shampoo' thing that i've seen on TV. I've tried different shampoo brands since i was a Grade School student & when i was a High School student, i've changed my shampoo brand one at a time since i was trying out what benefits i should get. I remember a cheeky lesson from my teacher back in Freshman Year HS to use a volumizing shampoo because my hair was lifeless & limp, although i have thick hair, my hair was lifeless. That was the cheekiest lesson i got away from the usual academic lessons like math lessons where our math teacher dares us to do some easy problems, English lessons that i loved to learn & Science lessons too. But about the mystery shampoo thing that i got hooked on so far, it's one thing that i can't solve by myself, i need to wait for the 1st day of August to solve this mystery behind this mystery shampoo. (If you want to find out more about this mystery shampoo that's been a hit in 40 countries, go to www.mysteryshampoo.com to find out!)

It will be a so-called 'Rivalry Week' for the NCAA & the UAAP. Today on the NCAA, the Letran Knights are facing off the San Beda Red Lions. There will be also some tight rivalry between 2 pairs of brothers. (Kevin & Jun-Jun Alas of CSJL, sons of CSJL Knights Head Coach Louie Alas against twins Anthony & Dave Semerad of SBC whose playing in their rookie year.) But somehow, i could rather cheer for SBC because they've been the coolest NCAA team ever, now it looks like i would rather say TY to SBC Red Lions Head Coach Frankie Lim for recruiting the cutest Fil-Aussie twins ever! But on Saturday, the bitter rivals of the UAAP are ready to duke it all out for a brand new decade. It's ADMU vs. DLSU all over again. But last Sunday, the rivals were in tip-top shape, facing off UST & UE respectively. But this time, get ready for a rivalry which is somehow going to be different than the past years. A sea of green & an ocean of blue is ready to be waved up in the Araneta Coliseum. But somehow, the game will be on 5 pm, 1 hour late from the usual game time of 4pm. But if you can't make it to the venue, it's ok, watch it on TV!

Now, where was i? The Shabby Chic trend! It's been a year but i nearly forgot about it as the days passed. Since 3 years ago, i got hooked on reading my grandma's old magazines that has some articles related to vintage stuff. I even got a shot on trying to test my artistic skills of drawing to draw some Victorian-inspired graphics, a bit far from the Anime drawings that i learned all by myself when i was a 6th Grader during the time i watched Digimon. (Right now, i'm watching Digimon Frontier on weekdays & Digimon Tamers on Saturdays.) So i guess my artistic drawing skills are up to the test, again. I felt curious everytime i thought about watching 'Shabby Chic' on TV since last year. But it's been a year & i can still feel it. It's ok w/ me & i feel more innocent since it has a slight feminine touch due to the details. For now, i guess i need to get started to become a shabby chic all over again. It's never too late to discover something old even in the modern times.

All That La Salle

It looks like i got a sneak peek to what will happen next to my cousin Ace if he surpasses the DLSUCET w/ flying colors. I found out that DLSU is the 1st university here in the Philippines that provides an e-classroom or Smart Classroom. Using the state of the art technology, this is what DLSU knows about the classroom of the future. Somehow, this concept should be applied in other schools & universities here in the Philippines since times changes, even education does, time to enter the classroom of the future!

Well, yes, DLSU gives us a sneak peek or a preview about the classroom of the future, more than the time my mom told me about my cousin Ace wants to study to DLSU for college since it's near & he wants to study there. It was like a Deja Vu for me because it slightly reminds me of 4 years ago during Puffy's last year as an HS student at Miriam College, she decided to study at ADMU for college, although the location, is where MC is also located, Katipunan Avenue, although MC is next to ADMU. (Like when you pass by Katipunan Avenue or Katips, you'll first see MC, then ADMU.) Puffy even told me that if she surpasses the ACET & she'll go to ADMU for college, she will buy me an ADMU jacket. (But i guess there was more to that of an ADMU jacket.) But this time, my mom promised me, if my cousin surpassed the DLSUCET & he'll go to DLSU for college, there will be more to a DLSU jacket &/or the jerseys & autographs of the DLSU Green Archers as promised. But all i need to wait is the right timing. 

A Primer Before The July 24 Game Between Ateneo & La Salle: Animo Wishing, Maui's Making More Waves & The Kit Taylor In Justin Chua

Yesterday, i almost entered the breaking point of breaking down, but i didn't. It was a roller-coaster of events swirled in one day. As usual, i ignored a phone call in a silent way. But good thing i cheered myself up by watching some Power Rangers clips that i put on a set of playlists in my YT Channel. It was like it's been a long while since i haven't watch the PR clips after i stumble upon on a funny PR GIF. Good grief, those memories of watching the Power Rangers surely never fades for me. (I watched some clips from PR Turbo since it took me the entire month of December last year to watch some clips from that PR series since the last time i watched it was last 1999! Huh? Are you kidding me? No, i knew it.) But came 2-6pm of yesterday, UAAP mode is on. Let's get the lowdown on the 2 games before the Blue-Green Face-off this Saturday.

First Game: Ateneo vs. UST (Ateneo wins. Best Player: Justin Shaun Chua)

It looks like Justin is Kit Taylor/KR Dragon Knight in this game during the last quarter of the game. The Former Chiang Kai Shiek player scored 18 points during the final quarter where the Blue Eagles needs to surpass against the UST Growling Tigers. But it looks like Justin 'vented' the Growling Tigers to help the Blue Eagles to win in fashion. Helping Justin to win the game for the Blue Eagles are Frank Golla, Jumbo Escueta & Art De La Cruz. (The veterans also helped up to give the Blue Eagles the lead but it was Justin who shined further.) But it looks like Nico Salva got a bad facial cut because a UST player hits Nico in the face, fortunately, he is ok. *phew* I even found out that even since the past decade, UST's Jeric Teng & Ateneo's Justin Chua were bitter rivals in High School. But it looks like in College, it becomes more fierce than ever. Gong Xi, Justin! 

Second Game: La Salle vs. UE (La Salle wins. Best Player: Alvin Joseph 'Maui' Villanueva)

Kudos to new DLSU Head Coach Dindo Pumaren since his new game-plan, the sticky defense system puts DLSU on top to win over Coach Dindo's former team, UE. Although Maui didn't surpass the score of Team Captain Simon Atkins which is 20 points from opening day win over UP, Maui makes giant waves to keep the Archers on top during the entire game proper. But Maui gets some back-up from his fellow Archers like Ferdinand, Paco Paredes (who really has the game of his life, even he's just a rookie.) Luigi De La Paz, Yutien Andrada & Maui's former team-mate from UPIS, Sam Marata. From the 1st to the final quarter, the Archers were all out, kinda reminds me of the opening day face-off against UP. But aside from Maui, let's give Paco Paredes a big applause because even he's a rookie, he just don't give UE a chance to reduce La Salle's lead to single digits. (Like where did he came from? A commentator said.) So, it looks like the Archers are on their way to the road to redemption.

Speaking of La Salle, my Auntie on my mom's side gets some help from my little sister Puffy who is on her graduating year in Ateneo, my cousin Ace is prepping up to take the ACET & the DLSUCET since he's now on his final year at San Beda Alabang. I was even wishing & praying that he will make it to DLSU. It reminds me of what my mom said back a few weeks ago during the Emotional Dramatic Tuesday Night of my life. So this means, aside from Ateneo goodies, La Salle goodies is waiting in the wings (& arrows!) Ok, we have a few days to go before the biggest game ever. Ateneo vs. La Salle. Who's ready for the rivalry?

Those Power Rangers Memories

I found this funny PR GIF earlier when i was surfing the net at Crunchyroll. It was like the good memories of watching Power Rangers when i was a kid until today, even i stumble upon some clips on YT. But it looks like i got into a 'recall' after i found this GIF. Like what was i thinking about! It's only a day after Ateneo won after their UAAP Season 73 Opening weekend boo-boo. But never mind, it really reminds me when i was a kid, i got started to watch PR, but i was just graduating from Kindergarten & entering first grade. That was crazy ne? But that was just the start of a powerful moment.

Ok, when i was a first grader, i was way too jealous of my little brother who has some PR toys & shirts. It was a habit for me every Friday night to watch Power Rangers. But fate will let me push to the limit on December of the year 1995. I begged my parents to buy me a Power Rangers t-shirt & i end up wearing the most unthinkable shirt of them all. I got the White Ranger shirt! I was super-curious who is the White Ranger was. But it was not until 1996 where i end up watching Power Rangers Season 2. The 2 reasons i got hooked on MMPR-S2 is one, the White Ranger, it looks like Tommy looks cooler being a long-haired brunette. (Great, i knew it who was the White Ranger & i was super-shy because of my long hair!) & two, the new Black Ranger is such a cutie pie, reminds me of Chris Tiu. (What? It took me a long time to find out the cutie Black Ranger!) Ok Adam Park, you're the one who told me to watch PR again.

There were even times that i watched Power Rangers The Movie on VHS format throughout the year 1997. I was just an incoming 3rd Grader then. Until now, i know the story of the movie was, from the start until the end. That was the best movie i've ever watched, my cousins & i watched it on my 9th birthday. It was surely fun. But 3rd Grade was also PR-related, literally. On the start of classes when i become a 3rd Grader, my yaya found a PR Comics on the table located outside our classroom. I was surprised, a few days later, i also received some PR mini-comics from my classmate, i still got the habit of watching PR on Friday nights. But becoming a 4th Grader will surely push me to the limits, until 5th Grade.

From Friday nights to Sunday mornings, it was a big move for me just to watch PR, i even got to watch PR Zeo & PR Turbo during those times since i found out that PR become a mega-hit. I even surprised myself the time i bought an uber-cool PR Zeo notebook. But even on the modern days, looks like the memories of the past already came back to me. Those times where i got hooked on watching PR Zeo & memorizing the 5 Turbo Zords from PR Turbo, not until when i was a Freshman Year HS student. (GOOD!) From 2004 until this year, i end up watching the other PR Teams that surprised me, finding a cute ranger & trying to get a memory recall on PR. It was not until 2009, even that year was the 150th Sesquicentennial Year for Ateneo. I did 2 things during that time: Watching PR Operation Overdrive & cheering the Ateneo Blue Eagles to re-create history as back to back UAAP Champs. December 2009 was somehow the fated one. I decided to watch some YT Clips on PR Turbo. Still eye-candy worthy, i was even looking for the 1st opening intro of PR Turbo after i stumble upon the 4th version. Like what i said, 1st moments never fade. Great, it was until the New Year for the year 2010 where the big LSS of the moment was the opening theme of PR Turbo.

Sometimes, i will never be the same again if i didn't watch the Power Rangers.

Rainy Days: Part-Blah, Part-Mwah

What i hate about the rainy days: getting stuck at home & watch out for some rainy day nightmares like a light flood at the bedroom. Droplets of rain from the ceiling, what a boo-boo!

What i love about the rainy days: i can wear a jacket & enjoy to see the rain fall from the sky, enjoying some hot bowl of soup or a hot cup of coffee or chocolate.

Most of my rainy days are crazy thru the years, thru the 2 decades of my life & thru my 22 years of life. Just because i was more of a sunny day freak, since i was a kindergarten kid, in art class, i would rather draw some sunny days. (Gee,  it reminds me of 7th grade for my project in art class back in the year 2001.) I hear the rain that falls down from the grey & white skies. But somehow, the rain has a lot of memories for me, there were days that i had a fun time on a rainy day, since my childhood days until my teen-hood days. Like in 2nd grade, i remember how to play a kite on a rainy day & my teacher told me to get back in the classroom. 4th grade has the sunny-rainy days in October while there was a flood at school when i was a 5th grader. 6th & 7th grade? it was quite silent, i would rather draw or read a copy of my first Manga comics in the rain, until the 1st 3 years of my high school life. Isn't it crazy after all? No. Not really. Even whenever i go to the malls on weekends on a rainy day, i prefer hitting the malls on a Sunday.

Ok, about what i said earlier about going to the malls on a rainy Sunday morning? It draws me back to September 23, 2007. During that time, Puffy is going to the big dome w/ her friends from ADMU to watch the 1st UAAP Season 70 Step-Ladder game between ADMU & UST. I'm going to SM Mall of Asia w/ my uncle & little brother. While going there, i was thinking about what should i do, inside the car, looking at the rain from the window. I pulled out a cassette tape, which i bought along & insert it on the car radio/cassette player inside my uncle's car. I got no choice since i need to enjoy the rainy days. Good thing the song ended by the time we arrived at SM Mall of Asia. That was totally fun after all. So, i surely love the rainy days after all. (But i hated one scene, my Bleach medium-sized pin got soaked in the rain & the picture printed in the pin was slightly soaked. ARGH!) So it looks like what i hate the most on rainy days? I hate to loose some charms like key-chains & pins. Rainy days are surely crazy when i was a high school kid. 

So, what will be the rainy days for you? Blah or Mwah?

Mama Says

Yesterday was not my day, just because Ateneo lost to FEU on UAAP Opening Weekend! WHAT? No way, but the FEU Tamaraws was just lucky, mom was just lucky because FEU is now her favorite team, while i still cheer for DLSU & ADMU (Keep The Faith, Blue Eagles!) But there are other things my mom & i were super-close, almost everyday, despite the slight arguments & misunderstandings. In other words, my mom & i are the closest of friends, when we are stuck at home when my dad & 2 younger siblings are at school & work.

Everytime we watch the UAAP Games, my mom told me to be fair & be a good sports fan. (So, i won't even pick a fight when Ateneo lost a game, but when Ateneo wins a game, where's the cheeseburger?) Yeah, yeah, my mom & i watch a lot of shows on TV. UAAP, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight (It's true! My mom even joked that Kit Taylor has a 'Guardian Dragon' from the time i watched KRDK Episode 1 last summer.), Spongebob Squarepants, Makibaoh, Showtime, Eat Bulaga & many more. But it looks like my mom is watching my favorite shows along w/ me. Aside from that, mom would love to hang out at malls w/ me & my little bro sometimes, when dad & Puffy are not around. (We go out secretly, SHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't spill this secret or i will vent you!) I remember some days back in the past 2 years where i probably treat the guys at Mcdonalds if my moolah-baloo is more than what i need for the next shopping spree, but now, there are the times that we will pick up Puffy from school & work on a Saturday night, when dad is going home late. Mom probably give us a treat. (Katipunan Avenue has everything!) But what if Mom brings Puffy to work on an early Sunday morning? A Jollibee Breakfast Meal is just a perfect treat. (Thanks a lot, mom.)

I was waiting for the right time my Auntie will treat us for Greenhills. So it looks like my mom & i will go out for a while, needing some fun time. But mom told me some other things that i should remember to get back on track to my life after all of the nightmares i suffer. Think positive, never give up & have fun, life is too short after all. But there's an appropriate time for everything. (Quote of the moment from 4 years ago!) Despite the slight arguments & unexpected misunderstandings, the only peace offerings mom could rather do to be my friend again is to forgive & forget. (Forgive each other, forget what happened.) Watching KRDK w/ mom? It's ok. Mom should rather know my world for sure, mom's never too old for that!

College Heroes, Revealed! (Thoughts About The Opening Ceremonies Of UAAP Season 73)

DLSU did a job well done for the simple yet heroic & energetic UAAP Season 73 Opening Ceremonies that was helded yesterday on a jam-packed Araneta Coliseum. The revelation of the 8 selected athletes from different sports from the 8 UAAP member schools, donning their school monikers in hero-inspired outfits brought the venue down as they were cheered by their respective schools. For the fans of ADMU & DLSU, it's no surprise who were the man in the Eagle suit & the man in the Archer suit. (But i was more surprised who was the man in the Eagle suit because it turned out he is the grandson of a legendary Ateneo player!)

The man in the Eagle suit is no other than ADMU Football Player Jacobo Lorenzo, grandson of legendary Ateneo B-Ball Player Luis 'Moro' Lorenzo. I was curious from the start who he is, but i found out about him a lot after i stumble upon a copy of The Guidon which has an article about him & his sister, Inez, who also plays football for ADMU under the Lady Booters. Jacobo was for the Blue Booters. (Published in the February 2010 issue of The Guidon) The man in the Archer suit is a crowd favorite, aside from the DLSU fans, it looks like the man in the Archer suit is none other than Ernest Lorenzo 'Enchong' Dee, the star swimmer of the DLSU Green Tankers & one of the hottest young actors of today. No wonder he can bring his school moniker, right. I was surprised about knowing Enchong when i read a cover story about him on the May 2007 issue of Candy Magazine. Now the 8 heroic athletes were revealed, it looks like DLSU lives up on their idea of heroes, in the way of sports. But maybe heroes can be everywhere, changing the lives of many, aside from sports.

The opening ceremonies wasn't really a blah after all. Somehow, the parade of athletes ended up on the 'Team Captains Parade'. For the Ateneo fans who watched the opening ceremonies yesterday on the Big Dome or at TV, don't be surprised who is the player who tags along w/ Jacobo Lorenzo & Eric Salamat, it's just ADMU Blue Eagle rookie Edwin Jason 'Jumbo' Escueta. (I remember Jumbo as the guy who was karate-chopped by Ferdinand of the DLSU Green Archers on a pre-season tournament last summer. That could be his biggest embarrassing moment as a debut for him, in a pre-season tournament.) Well, it's ok Jumbo to tag along w/ Eric on the Team Captains Parade. But the eyes of the crowd inside the big dome, especially DLSU fans is after the new Team Captain of the DLSU Green Archers. It was no other than Simon Atkins! (But the weird part is, the crowd is more focused on Enchong than Simon. It's ok Simon, you won the crowd anyway when you did the oath of sportsmanship!) Well, i guess DLSU did a job well done on the opening rights anyway.

Well, LET THE GAMES BEGIN! UAAP Season 73 is officially on! 

Swtich On The UAAP Mode

Here we go again, another UAAP Season is on the loose today & i started to read some entries from the Nonoy For President Blogspot Site 

(& the shocking truth that it's been a long time that i haven't visited the site!)

I was trying to buy a bunch of magazines related to the UAAP, especially my favorite teams, the long-time rivals, the Ateneo Blue Eagles & the De La Salle Green Archers. But i remember yesterday on a secretly dramatic Friday (Sorry guys, i won't tell you guys what happened, but i want to forget it because i might suffer a heart attack & i won't let that happen because i can get over it as fast as a 3-pointer.), i told my mom about the upcoming UAAP Games. For the 73rd season of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines, or better known as the UAAP, De La Salle University will host the games. I was even surprised that when DLSU made the teasers that was airing all over Studio 23 (Which airs the UAAP Games for almost a decade!) has a new turn, more than the usual teasers from the past UAAP Seasons. Superhero-inspired, whether you love Western or Japanese superheroes, get a close view of the teasers, college superheroes. (Nice thought!)

On the lighter side of things, July is mostly focused on the UAAP, right? Yeah. But last night, i talked to my mom on the magazines we loved to buy at Filbar's. That's where i buy some back issues of my favorite magazines. I was shocked when my mom told me that she wants to buy a copy of FHM since this month too determines who is the sexiest Filipina today. (Mom surely shocked me!) But i told my mom that i want to buy a back copy of the December 2008-January 2009 issue of Meg Magazine w/ Chris Tiu on it at the cover. But maybe i could score up some copies of magazines which are Ateneo-related like Rebound, Blue Blood & many more, unless they have an article related to Ateneo or La Salle. I was even trying a back issue of Chalk Mag for the year 2009, i forgot what month is it, which has a Joshua Webb poster on it. So it looks like my mom & i will enjoy shopping for magazines, magazines for our interests. But since it's already the UAAP Season, maybe i should also collect copies of 'The Guidon' (Ateneo's official school paper for the College Department) since i need to get some Ateneo Blue Eagles team & player updates. & at the same time, collect newspapers which are UAAP-related, getting updates from the eliminations to the final 4 to the finals.

Now, the shocker that will shock the fans of ADMU & DLSU. Now ADMU & DLSU has 5 tittles each, who will win tittle number 6? All you need to do is to watch the UAAP Games to find out! Get ready as the heroes from the top 8 universities duke it all out on another heart-stopping, heart-pacing, action-packed UAAP Season 73, Where heroes are made.

You Got The Wrong Number, So Don't Call It No More

Oh well, another blog entry which has a tittle inspired by a song from Korean Boy Band TVXQ also known as DBSK. But this is actually the indirect sequel to yesterday's entry known as 'Mirotic La Salle'. But i will tell you what just happened last night that pushes me to the limits. From last Tuesday's emotional dramatic night on the week before the UAAP Games that will kick off in Saturday, July 10.

The phone rings again, my little sister, Puffy yelled at me, saying i should answer the call, i rushed out of the bedroom & i lifted up the phone, when i heard the voice, i remained silent & i suddenly dropped the phone, crying & went back to the bedroom, i did the same thing again for the 2nd time. If i would do that again tonight, i would rather yell out loud saying, 'Don't call me, i'm going to La Salle & Ateneo! I don't want to go back to the dark side of my past!' But i got to admit i was a rude girl during the time my teacher pissed me in front of the entire class. I even thought about of committing suicide by slashing my wrist using the blade of the scissors. But i failed, just because i want to meet a new friend on November 19 during the Hero Con during that time. I said to myself that i don't want to go back in the time where i got involved in a nightmare. In other words, i still remember what my mom told me last Tuesday night, i could rather wish that my cousin on my mom's side who will make it to DLSU, i wish he would surpass the DLSUCET w/ flying colors.

I was traumatized, saddened & hurt, like there were wounds surrounding around me, so that's why the next time she calls up again, i would rather yell & at the same time, i would rather wait for the phone call of my best friend who recovered me from the troubles of my dear life. 

Mirotic La Salle

It was during the emotional night 2 days ago, i found out the shocking revelation my mom told me about my cousin, Ace. He is taking a review sessions to surpass the DLSUCET, if cousin Ace surpassed the DLSUCET w/ flying colors, he will surely make it to DLSU. I was surprised when i heard it, but somehow, my emotions from sadness to happiness was changed. The tears stopped flowing from my eyes & i was trying to stop it. (Stupid Maui Villanueva-like eyebags, it drives me crazy, maybe i should rub some ice on it.) It was just like 4 years ago when my little sister, Puffy took the ACET, she told me if she surpassed the ACET & she makes it to ADMU, she will surely buy me an ADMU jacket made by Adidas. But somehow, it took me a long time to wait for her promise to grant & become real. For now, i should rather watch out for the time my cousin to surpass the DLSUCET w/ flying colors. So it looks like what will happen is that, aside from having Ateneo goodies, i will also have some La Salle goodies! It looks like i will drop my jaw & will shock my world.

Yesterday, i found out i have a fun online conversation w/ a La Sallite studying from University Of St. La Salle, a sister school of De La Salle University. I was shocked like i dropped my jaw in surprise mode. Like what was i thinking? I told her that i will get a haircut, hopefully on UAAP Opening Day this Saturday. The haircut that i will get is a Vic Zhou-like haircut, but i wish the haircut will work. Like i remember that after i found out my little sister will make it to ADMU, i decide to forget the dark part of my past life to enter a brighter future. But i guess i remember one thing, the last time i drink a glass of Pepsi when i was at KFC-Katipunan, it was during the day of Puffy's enrollment as an AB Economics Senior at ADMU. I was more surprised for that since it's like it was been 3 years ago when she decided to stay at Katipunan Avenue, study at ADMU for college. But this time, when i found out that Ace will try to surpass the DLSUCET, it feels like i got attacked by an Archer, an arrow was hit on where i stand. It was just like the rivals were after me. The nightmares of the past is already gone.

Bring it on, Animo La Salle!

Blue & Green Mood

Last night was a night that according to myself, i don't want to go back to the darkest part of my past, but i found out a surprise to my life that reminds me of my little brother's jokes that he could kick me all the way to Taft Avenue or Katipunan Avenue. (No Meteor Garden thoughts for now, Ateneo-La Salle jokes are allowed here.)

During that night, everything was just ok, i was more excited for the UAAP Games since that will kick off on Saturday, July 10. I was reading most of my magazines, some are Ateneo-related. Everything was just fine until, my little sister told me that a former classmate of mine called up, the door was closed during that time, i put my copy of the Chalk UAAP-NCAA July 2009 issue on my bed, went to the door, but i didn't open the door, like i sensed something bad or someone pour a bottle of ice-cold Pepsi in my head, telling me not to go to the phone. So i decided not to go out of the room, go back to my bed & read. My little sister, Puffy asked me why, but my former classmate is waiting for me on the phone, i said a major excuse: "I'm not in the mood." So it looks like the darkest part of my past is still on w/ me even if i could try to move on, that was the most painful part, but i did everything to move on. But somehow, the pain still remains. Until the next hour.

I was not like Kit Taylor who is worried about his dad's safety or Len who is worried if Shan Chai would do something bad to Kit. I was more on like about being Jai Reyes who is doing his best to defend the UAAP Tittle for Ateneo. Ateneo-La Salle mode is on, i was even waiting for a phone call from my new BFF, Rei. (Sounds like Twilight to me.) A dark part of my past life came back to me, it was been 4 years since a teacher pissed me off at the front of the entire class on a Monday Morning of October 16. It was painful, i even had a plan to commit suicide during that time, i admit i shared the same fate w/ the Ateneo Blue Eagles during that time & i was waiting for the time Chris Tiu will be the perfect team captain, good thing he lasted for 2 years. My former classmate keeps calling me & my little siblings begged me to talk to her, but i refused. I don't want the nightmares of October 16 come back, i don't want to see blood coming out from my body like i got a lot of wounds because of that. But afterwards, i started to cry, like watching an episode of The Hospital.

I started to cry, explaining to my mom & little siblings about the reason why i don't want to talk to my former classmate over the phone. The big reason is that i don't want to go back to the darkest part of my past when i was still at COLF. My little sister told me if i say that again, they won't talk to me. But the pain still remains. I said i want to focus on the graduation of my 2 little siblings, i was even more lucky when i discovered Ateneo. But now, Ateneo's rival, La Salle starts to enter my life when my mom told me that my cousin, Ace is taking the DLSUCET. I wish he will surpass DLSUCET so he can study at DLSU-M for college. (DLSU-M stands for De La Salle University-Manila which is located in Taft Avenue, home of the Green Archers.) Maybe a Maui Villanueva jersey is not enough, a jersey, autograph & meeting Maui-san could be a first aid for me to move on. My mom told me about that so i smiled, but i still have tears around my eyes. I don't want to remember the pain that happened to me 4 years ago, i just want to do something just to move on.

I could rather do everything to heal the wounds of the past.

Bouken No Star-Shine

"Good Morning, Star-Shine!"

That's the message that i got for today, thanks, Sato-Ruu. I was crazy when i heard that message, like the 'Chuva Choo Choo' message from last month & a whole lot of crazy things during the last month of summer & the first month of the rainy days. It was like when i just found out about Boukenger since February of last year. (Good thing i found it at Crunchyroll!) So suddenly, it was like reminding me of good memories from the past decade. Like i would read some old magazines on a sunny day while waiting for my turn to get a haircut. It's been a month, since receiving the KR Ibuki DX Sound Attack Trumpet & Bouken Black Keychain, i was more happy because that was the best post-bday gifts i ever received. Instead of using the Bouken Black keychain as a bag charm, i would rather keep it & use it as a lucky charm, i told myself that i don't want to lose it because it was like a token of friendship from a  friend of mine. But somehow, it's like i got the best day ever, on June 20, 2nd day of Toycon.

But i was looking forward on the next Anime Con on the 2nd half of 2010, i might receive more post-bday gifts & pre-Christmas gifts, i'll be watching out from my Toku-lovin' friends for the post-birthday/pre-Christmas gifts. But anyway, i remember, on the last month of summer, Sato-Ruu & i talked a lot of stuff, mostly Toku-related, he posted a bunch of Boukenger pics, i did the same thing. But he told me once about expecting love gone wrong. I was more concerned about him as a friend, the Turtwig reminds him of good memories w/ the girl he should expect who will love him. But i confessed that my parents are strict & i'm only up until crushes, friends? It's ok w/ me. But somehow, i enjoyed more when we talked about Toku. I could not forget the day we talked about Masked Rider Ryuki, just because he resembles Shinji & i was Miho. My heart started to beat faster when i thought about it. But i ending up laughing at it like a friend. But i guess this is like a Bouken Friendship. It could drive me crazy, but i said i'll be fine.

I'm ok. 'Nuff said. 

Taiwanese Pop Stars & Kamen Riders: Pepsi Fever!

I was surprised that after the week i decided to watch Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, i found out that Matthew 'Matt' Mullins, who plays Len aka KR Wing Knight, the survivor of the Ventara Overthrow done by the evil General Xaviax appeared in a Pepsi TV ad which was filmed in China. He plays the role of an American guy decided to learn Martial Arts in a temple in the remote rural area of China. To surpass, he has to hit his head on the top of the Pepsi can. (OUCH!) But he was more unrecognizable in the ad because he should look like a monk, everyone recognizes Mr. Mullins now as Len from KRDK. (Now Kit Taylor should see that!)

After Len, it was the year 2003 when Taiwanese Pop Group F4, who first appeared in the hit Taiwanese Drama, 'Meteor Garden' decided to become pop stars. The unthinkable is they decided to endorse for Pepsi. At first, their ads were somehow fun & cheery, but as the years passed, they decided to go heroic, go ancient & go Toku-inspired, they won't give our favorite Japanese heroes a run for their money because of that. Maybe the details of their commercials goes in ancient Chinese-inspired. (Was that like as the same as the UAAP Season 73 teasers done by DLSU? Maybe not, DLSU sticks to the details for the teasers inspired by Mahou Sentai Magiranger, Power Rangers Mystic Force, Masked Rider Ryuki & Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.) If i were you, watch the commercials F4 did & don't drop the Pepsi can to the floor. 

Here's a post-viewing note: You might end up getting Vic Zhou's hairdo, ne? 

Message Sent By An Archer's Arrow: The Blue & Green Clash

It looks like the days of watching Meteor Garden is over as of now, an Archer aims it arrow on the outskirts of ADMU, warning the Eagles that the Archers are fighting back for their lost glory, stopping the Eagles to continue their journey. This is the main focus of Ateneo-La Salle 2010 for UAAP Season 73, the clash of heroes, it's been for decades that the Green Archers & the Blue Eagles clashed against each other, from their glory days at the NCAA to their heroic days at the UAAP. A venue divides the 2 squads, a sea of green & an ocean of blue. Scream 'Retikano' for the Archers or 'Halikinu' for the Eagles, you will not miss a single moment of this best college b-ball clash ever. (This is NOT what you get if you're watching too much Meteor Garden, FORGET THAT FOR NOW!) This is not a disco rumble, this is a battle in the hardcourt.

For the year 2010, Eric Salamat & Maui Villanueva will bring their teams on a battle, for school honors & team spirit, not for fighting for their lost love, i guess they don't have any unlike Hua Ze Lei. Maui tries to heal the wounds of the painful events of the past while Eric tries to continue the glory that their legendary 2-time Team Captain Chris Tiu started on his final year back 2 years ago. The players from both ADMU & DLSU are trying to heal wounds & move up to the next level. After 63 previous meetings, more than 4 pre- & post-season tournaments these 2 teams faced off & after countless days, weeks, hours & months, the long wait is over, it doesn't took you a year, huh? This clash will be an epic, get ready for the best college b-ball rivalry ever. If not, where in the world will you be?

Don't Bring It To The Hardcourt (An Entry W/ Thoughts & Pictures)

 

(Disclaimer: The thoughts here are purely fictional, i don't own the pics!)

"My goodness, how come Vic Zhou sported a hairdo that could freak out Maui Villanueva? No Animo La Salle greetings for this Taiwanese Pop Star!"

In other words, the reason why Vic Zhou sported a new hairdo is that he wants to freak out Maui Villanueva of the DLSU Green Archers? Maybe not! It looks like Ateneo's rivals are up for a nightmare.

"N-N-N-N-Nico Salva, is that you? Or i just found out i found your long-lost twin brother? You & Bouken Red are somehow like brothers just because you look like each other?"

Should i admit that both Nico Salva & Mitsuomi Takahashi, who's been on the Toku scene as Shunji & Satoru had the same smile, slight same face, slight same hairdo but Nico's no hero? Nico is just a b-ball player, playing for the Ateneo Blue Eagles, gets his cheeks flushed in pink if you say the name Megan Young & hates getting ejected? Somehow, Nico is starting up to become the player he is, the player he was & the player he will ever be.

"Maui, could you remove your sunglasses? I'm curious why you are using it & don't tell me the reason is your eyebags that bothers you, do you remind me of that cute male Japanese Super Hero?"

It's true that i have a pair of black-colored sunglasses that has a dark color lens tint. But i haven't used it for a very long time, the reason why Maui uses it is that he's somewhat bothered by the eyebags he got since he entered DLSU. But never mind, he was a hit among girls & Japanese Super Hero fans because of his Japanese-inspired looks. (Who is he, Maui Mizushima? Nope, i could rather use the 1st names of Ateneo & La Salle Players & use the last names of the hottest Toku actors just for fun. Nico Takahashi, Joshua Hironari, Maui Mizushima, Luigi Inoue, Ryan Matsuda, Sam Handa & Many more.) 

Ok, don't bring some not-so-important things to the hardcourt when UAAP Season 72 is on. Know what to bring & what not to bring.

Do Cute Stationeries Count A Lot? It Does!

The week after Toycon, i got started to fix up the stationeries that i got since 2003. Most of the stationeries that i got was w/ Anime-inspired prints, cute designs & those w/ Anime pics. I remember when i was moved to a new school, i started to buy some stationeries for myself, there was a deal then to write each other some letters via the good ol' snail mail. It was since 2006 when i got the 1st one & i kept all of the letters i received from my old classmates. But somehow, when i got started to fix, as i found an old, empty yet unused file case at the storage room, i didn't think twice to use it to keep my stationeries on it. (Come to think of it, i even bought a writing mat for myself so i can write letters w/o any problem!) But i have one big problem, the ballpens! Since 2003, even during the time i was transferred to the to the new school, i was more addicted on writing poems. For those who don't know, when i was the new kid in school, my teacher forced me to join an on-the-spot writing competition because of my good skills in writing poems. (The rest is history.) But when i was a Freshman HS student, i joined 2 organizations related on arts & literature. The poem that i wrote in 2003 was published in the school paper & i was stunned! I was even offered to write a book of my poems & stories! But somehow, i was even more good right now on drawings & some of my schoolmates are looking after my drawing skills. (Especially when i draw Power Rangers, Digimon-style based from 01, 02, Tamers & Frontier. I remember i never missed an episode of Digimon Tamers & Digimon Frontier back in 2007 & 2008.) So, i decided to buy more stationeries & ballpens, oh, i want the cute & colorful ones, please!

About the ballpens, i was inspired by my dad. I stumble upon a ballpen which dad got from a school event. I was stunned to use it, instead of throwing it because there's no more ink, i decided to save up some moolah to buy the ballpen ink cartridge, so i won't buy a new ballpen similar to that. Aside from that, i remember when i was in High School, from 2003 to 2005, i oftenly use Sakura ballpens since i remember when i was in 6th Grade, a classmate of mine has lots of it in different colors! So, i decided to buy some colors, now in the ranges of Aqualip & Souffle, in different colors. But if i got more than 20 Sakura Ballpens, oh no, time to find a medium-sized square tin can & put it all! Another thing is, i remember i bought some cute M&G ballpens like Luoxi, Amore & Lipstick (which i bought last Heart's Day & i want to buy more of that!) Somehow, i need to have a bunch of ballpens in my green-colored carry-all. But still, i surely want to buy more of the Dong-A Ballpens like what dad & Puffy used. But i will give you a hint: Sakura Ballpens are only for scrapbook-making & arts. So, i know the ballpens i will use for arts & the ballpens i will use for writing. 

Let's have a recall: Since 6th Grade, when i got started to read Candy magazine, i decided to think about collecting cute stationeries, like collecting cute organizers, even there are cute PDA-like organizers which are free in a copy of Candy! Somehow, i could rather buy more stationery letter sets & stationery letter pads as soon as i can.
