Unrecognizable

"Is that Bouken Red? Sorry, i was way too confused because he's unrecognizable in the pic." That was the simple yet not-so-long sentence i said to a friend of mine at Friendster yesterday when i found out about the return of selected Super Sentai actors & actresses for next year's Super Sentai series tittled Gokaiger. But not all are coming back, it's like a selection list, what surprised me is...... Bouken Red's return! He's the lone kid from Boukenger who will come back for Gokaiger, i found out about it via FS comments on a list posted by my favorite FS friend, Patrick-kun. Although what he said first is a rumor, i guess it was indeed a fact that Mitsuomi Takahashi will bring back his Boukenger role in Gokaiger although he will be the lone hero from the 2006 hit Super Sentai series which was the 30th, Gokaiger was the 35th to be exact. To find out exactly what am i saying right now, here's the pic!

Being the plain curious human being, i was thinking who was the guy in the pic next to Gokaiger Red, i just found out the answer a few hours later, yes, it was Bouken Red. But he (Bouken Red) was somewhat unrecognizable in the pic, far from the pics of the past where i could see Mitsuomi Takahashi had his short hair spiked up like his character in Boukenger. Ok, ok, i knew it, it was him, it was really him, the only thing i could recognize is his smile, realizing that it was been 2 years to be exact when i knew about Boukenger, how silly am i. As if i could reach my little brother's hair clay & have my Vic Zhou-like bed head having it a Bouken Red twist while i was thinking about the bangs, should i look like Lei or become Bouken Black? Nobody called me the girl w/ Lei's bedhead hair but has Bouken Black's bangs. Ok, about recognizing Bouken Red in the pic, i was like there was a question mark in my head thinking who was the guy in the left. I waited for a few minutes for my question to be answered, finally, the answer was revealed, my eyes become wide-open when i found out it was just Bouken Red. Too silly, it's not like the same thing like i watched out for my Friendster to be flooded w/ Boukenger pics since 2009. From October 2009 to September 2010, that was like the flood that stormed my FS comment box, but i'm enjoying it.

Can't wait for Gokaiger? You have to wait for next year for that, especially waiting for Bouken Red's big return.

Have Fun Like It's The End Of The World

Let's party, have fun & enjoy life like it's the year 2012 where the world draws it's end, is this for real or it's just from our minds? No matter what it is, let's party like it's the end of the world. Somehow, i have some unfinished plans & goals to do before this year ends w/ a bang in a few days. But good thing, i need to achieve all of it before this year ends, although it all started last June. That's crazy, huh? But i'm sure i need to accomplish it all, i feel like i'm not perfect whenever i don't achieve a goal in life, but i feel perfect yet pleased whenever i achieve a goal even it's not according to my time line like for example that i achieve a goal that is once slated for September but slated for summer! ACK! Where is my dessert? Anyway, like where in the world am i? Let's go & party like 2012 is near.

Last Monday, i just bought a back copy of Cosmopolitan's September 2009 back issue at a Filbar's stall inside Landmark Department Store at Trinoma, the price when buying a back issue is somehow reduced from the original price, so buying a back issue is worth cheap, so if you got missed out on completing your collection of magazines, go & buy a back issue! Next stop, i need to buy the October 2006 back issue of K-Zone since there was an article there that tickles my fancy. Ok, i surely want to buy magazine since i have nothing to do at home on a lazy day. 1 week before the holidays, i recently got hooked w/ Domo-kun, so i just want to buy a cute Domo-Kun bag & key-chain for myself that i need to buy at Tickles, can't wait to use that on an Anime convention that will held at SM Megamall! That will be my first taste of Domo-kun after i got my first taste of Code Geass since November of last year when my BFF introduced that Anime to me. Now, she's doing her best to find the Podcast related to Code Geass so i can know more about the Anime itself! I feel like all of the goals i started last June needs to be done as soon as possible before this year ends, i don't know but i have no choice after all. Maybe i need to do it!

Code Geass podcasts on my MP4 Player? Bring it on! 

Too Powerful

It's been the weekend after i stumble upon some PR Clips on You Tube, until i watched a short PRNS Clip of Dustin Transforming as the Yellow Wind Ranger. It's based from an PRNS episode which i've watched more than once, it's about lies & truths, but when the evil plan is revealed, a girl in a fly suit makes out the fool out of an innocent boy who've thought that the world is almost against him. Hello Dustin, you're the man on fire. Or as i would say, you're the Ranger on fire. After 4-5 years of watching this episode, i just thought that Marah, the girl in a fly suit who dragged Dustin all the way to the depths of hell due to her stupid lies against our cute hero who is like hey, he told his fellow Ranger, Hunter, aka the Crimson Thunder Ranger that sometimes, cute good boys can be dragged to hell by bad girls in fly suits. My thought was, i guess it's like a puppeteer tries to control his puppet, Marah is the puppeteer while Dustin is the so-called puppet, poor Dustin, Marah is trying to control him & in the end, she makes a fool out of him that the other Rangers were shocked to find out, good thing lone rose Tori came to the rescue & told Marah that what she did to Dustin was low, Dustin is trying to be nice & Marah wasted it. (That's what i get from watching too much Power Rangers, interesting life-lessons & catch phrases that in the end, you can use it in real life on every situation.) But somehow, the world is not against Dustin, it was only Marah. 

To Marah, don't make a fool out of Dustin because if you messed w/ his friends, you might end up messing w/ him. 

Friendship Between Father & Daughter

Let me dedicate this entry to my dad, somehow, we were like friends more than just a typical father-&-child tandem. It was crazy yesterday that i admit, it was crazier that reminds me of attending Anime cons at SM Megamall every Sunday to avoid lazy Sundays where i have nothing to do but to watch TV in bed. Somehow, it was crazy yesterday that my dear dad or 'papang' (excuse my La Greta puns here) gave me his MP4 Player! Like how many months i waited for that? let's see, uhm..... 8 months! Oh my freakin' god! But somehow, the long wait is finally over! Phew, it all started when i saw my uncle's uber-new iPod Touch. (We even talk about cellphones because i decided to look forward to buy a My Phone w/ a TV function so i can watch the Power Rangers & the UAAP Games even when i'm not at home!) I even have to search the red & black-colored card readers until i found it at the small decor pot. For now, i'm using the red one since it has the adaptor to the 2GB Micro SD card which is used for the MP4 Player, i'm recently downloading a bunch of Anime, J-Pop, K-Pop & C-Pop songs for now, let's go Asian first before hitting the New Year right. (I even need to decorate it w/ crystal stickers.) Hmm, i guess it's not enough, it was crazier for more.

Ok, it was a lazy Sunday, but it's a crazy Sunday too even there was a rainfall, i thought i will only have the MP4 Player & it's red-colored card reader, i was absolutely wrong! As i was looking for the red & black-colored card readers, i incidentally found a cute ballpen w/ lanyard & a pink-colored flip-flop cellphone charm that i think dad bought from Boracay during his trip last March before summer formally kicked off. I have no choice but to keep it & use it soon. Right now, dad & i need to prep up for the holidays as December 25 draws near. Dad knows what i want & what i don't want, i need to follow my dad's disciplinary acts to become a disciplined human being. But sometimes, i'd love to keep some of his stuff that he gave to me, it's worth a heirloom. Hmm, i was thinking that if i got my dad's yellow-colored lighter w/ flashlight, i guess i would love to buy the pink-colored solar-powered flashlight keychain that he gave me once last year which i've used it often during the entire month of December like when dad starts to have his mini vegetable garden. (Like if i buy it, oh yes, good times coming back!)

Dad, i know i was been your first daughter, but for me, you're not just my dad, but my best friend & my buddy. I would rather laugh over mom's jokes that i didn't follow her rules because i follow you. Never mind, i guess we are meant to be buddies.

Meet The Azkals, Instant Favorite In Sports!

Let's run down the best athletes & athletic teams that rock 2010 by storm, from boxing champ Manny Paquiao who created history w/ 8 different tittles to the red-hot NCAA team San Beda Red Lions who is now back to the throne as the real kings of the NCAA Hardcourt to the turbo-charged & turbo-powered (excuse my Power Rangers Turbo puns over my favorite UAAP team) UAAP team Ateneo Blue Eagles who created history for the 3-peat, never done it in the past but finally done it! & now, a new sports team is on the rise, instant favorites! It's the Philippine Football Team or simply enough, The Azkals! After they created a big upset over defending champs Vietnam at the AFF Suzuki Cup during the elimination round, they instantly become famous & already created frenzy right now even before the Christmas season. If it wasn't for it's players which is composed of Fil-foreign players & Philippine Army members. But who started the 'Azkals' craze which is still on right now & now becoming a trending topic on Twitter? If it wasn't for the cute Fil-British Younghusbands, James & Philip, reserves from the English Premiere League Team Chelsea FC which one of the top teams not just in UK, but also in the entire world. (Although they are born in the UK, they're proud to be half-Filipino, they're also proud of playing in the Azkals.) But hey, the Younghusbands are not just a hit among the girls here, also the girls in Indonesia are going crazy for the Younghusbands! Oh well, here comes the heartthrob-worthy siblings that will swoon every girl, girls, get ready for this craze right now!

Since the buzz that the Azkals gave the tourney host/defending champions Vietnam an upset, they become an instant Twitter trending topic, everyone is talking about it after the big news. Now, every Filipino is supporting the Azkals right now, it looks like the Philippine Football Team is creating history right now even the year draws to an end. Attention everyone, get ready for the invasion of the Azkals!

Colored Nails, Fashion Statements & Looks Like Sailormoon

Colored nails- Didn't you even know the colored nails of the inner & outer scouts of Sailormoon? After i bought a bottle of MWAH! Nail Polish in Jericho Rose which is a red-colored nail polish, i would rather admit that it's like the same color that colors the nails of Rei/Raye Hino (Star & Crystal Power Transformations as Sailor Mars) Hmm, i guess i need to buy more nail colors, like blue for Ami Mizuno/Amy Anderson (Star & Crystal Power Transformations-Sailor Mercury), light green for Makoto/Lita Kino (Star & Crystal Power Transformations-Sailor Jupiter), yellow for Minako/Mina Aino (Star & Crystal Power Transformations-Sailor Venus). Go first for the inner scouts while i'll try to think the colors for the outer scouts. Somehow, it will not be a surprise if i showed up to my Auntie just to say sorry to her in red nails & a Sailormoon-inspired hairstyle & look.

 

Fashion Statements- OMG! I would love to have Raye's red-colored pumps, Lita's laced-up booties & Amara's short boots! It would be silly if i wear it on a special event or a family reunion in a comfy shirt & shorts plus the footwear will be just like a cute Sailor Senshi. Somehow, i feel like i had this weird feeling that i want to go shopping for shoes because mom told me so? Maybe. Now, i feel like i would have to shop for shoes!

Looks- Right now, my hairdo resembles Amy, i was even trying not to put a headband so the bangs wont be a disaster like i was blown away by the wind. Ok, so i need to buy a red-colored ribbon scrunchie to get Mina's look & a cute ponytail holder w/ red beads for Lita's cute ponytail. So, it looks like i got no choice after all of getting their looks.

 

Is that all? Far from over, one unexpected understanding might end up making the unexpected magic of forgiving & transforming.

Cupcake Therapy

If i feel sad & depressed, you might give me a cupcake, if i feel that it's a boring day, you might give me a cupcake, if Ateneo wins the game, you might give me a cupcake w/ a Blue Eagle sugar icing cookie topping on top. Let's think that cupcakes are anti-depressants. So what is the meaning of this? It's been a day after i ate a banana cupcake followed by a chocolate cupcake & after seeing a bunch of cupcake pics on Tumblr, FB, FS or all over the internet. The crazy part, i need to keep calm & have a cupcake instead. Whether it's a plain cupcake or designed using icing in different colors, it's a sweet treat. Somehow, it would be better if some of my friends & relatives would rather gave me a box of cupcakes,  from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 or even more. Somehow, i had this quite misunderstanding between me & my favorite Auntie, but somehow, hope it won't get worse because my conscience told me that everything will be fine & my conscience who is like a curious minded Von Pessumal told me that everything will be fine & this situation will never get in to the critical point where a war will happen, it will end in peace. For me, some of the worst case scenario-like situations once it reaches on the worst point, not on the critical point where there will be a clash of the emotions will somehow end on the cold zone, dropping it down from the critical point to the freezing point where in the end, it will be forgotten.

Speaking of cupcakes, if i would try to keep calm & have myself a cupcake instead where in the end, the clash of emotions will never hit the critical point & instead, it will drop down to the freezing point so it won't be remembered, it will be like a forgotten grave. Hope tomorrow, as i crossed my fingers, everything will be fine as like what my conscience said before i reach the pack or box of cupcakes. I would rather think the negative side of things first since if you think the negative side of one event, it will suddenly turn into positive in the end. It's by accident & it all started last year. (It all started when Ateneo is in the critical point of not creating history. But suddenly, the tables are turned & the Blue Eagles had the last laugh. Phew, hurray for thinking first of negative things & it will turn to positive things.) I wish everything will be fine, i'll just act as a girl who has a big emotional turmoil in the family but i need a cheer up from my true friends, like i need to keep calm & crave myself a box of cupcakes. (Match it w/ a hot cup of Milo 3 in 1 For Adults please, it's Christmas time!)

Hope everything will be a-ok for now, i don't want to be a loner now, i need to calm down, i should not release my anger. I would just take a deep breath & fix this worst case scenario so this situation will drop to the freezing point.

Just Got It! & Some Magazine Talk

Attention everyone! Yesterday, my little brother & my mom brought me a copy of the UAAP Magazine which is now sold at bookstores & magazine stands. (If you still don't have a copy yet but you are the biggest UAAP Fan-boy/Fan-girl ever, buy it NOW! Only P120, really a must-read for your UAAP Fix.) It's been about a few days of trying to buy a copy of this magazine, my clue to have this one-of-a-kind-magazine-for-college-sport-fanatics is actually good ol' Nico Salva of the Ateneo Blue Eagles. If you want to know more about the world of college sports or you want to know more of the athletes that rock the world of college sports, buy a copy of the UAAP Magazine now while it's hot! Good thing i finally have a copy of the UAAP Magazine after a few days of waiting! Right now, i'm enjoying it reading that while sipping a hot cup of Milo 3 in 1 For Adults. (Especially in the morning, after breakfast.) Alright, that magazine is now an add-on to my collection of magazines that i got as of 2003. I guess i have a lot of magazines right now.

I admit i have more magazines than books, i love to collect magazines related to Anime, fashion, beauty, college sports or Ateneo life or anything that tickles my interest. It's either a back issue or a present issue, it's about filling the curious mind. I have 4 magazines that i bought so far for this year, it's a record that i broke from only one last year. But it's ok, i love to buy back issues of some magazines at Filbar's. ARGH! Next thing to do is to buy a copy of the October 2006 issue of K-Zone because there was an article that is related to the Japanese heroes. I just found out about it last June of this year where i survived a rage rushed in my mind before a fated day. But somehow, i'm trying to buy a plastic container which is big & it can fill my favorite Anime magazines that i got since a decade ago so if i have a boring time after i give the computer & the TV a break, i would end up reading my favorite Anime magazines & remember the crazy times of the last 2 years of Grade School. So, if i have a back issue of the K-Zone October 2006 issue? I would rather take a break from everything & go nostalgic.

Oh, buy back issues is cheap, really, just below P1000. Missed out to complete a collection of your favorite magazines? Go & rush to Filbar's & buy the back issues of your favorite magazines to fill the holes in your collection. 

Nostalgia Mode

If watching Sailormoon clips on You Tube is not enough to remember the craziest days when i was a kid, good thing i know what are their names in the English dub. I was at McDonald's yesterday for a light snack. I was even thinking about buying a Happy Meal, the featured toy for the girls is: Barbie In A Mermaid Tale. Whoa, it's sort-of ok for me since i need to have small dolls for my vintage Victorian 3-D Dollhouse that i got almost a decade ago when i was 11. Oh well, sometimes, childhood memories surely never fades. W/ 4 Barbie In A Mermaid Tale toys from McDonald's & 2 Lizzie McGuire toys from Jollibee is ready to be a must-have, hope there will be some re-selling of some toys like Naruto Shippuden from last June & some good ol' toys from Jollibee this year like, YOU KNOW IT! I would rather end up being a nostalgic girl until the end of this year. I would rather think that being nostalgic is like wearing a vintage shirt. Somehow, i can't wait to do that since being Nostalgic is like going on an antique shop & finding a bunch of vintage finds.

Oh well, should i do something right now? Time to remember the memories of childhood.

Little Brother Ups & Downs

A collection of thoughts & memories along w/ my little brother. Enjoy!

On the eyeglasses thing:

"You want to buy these pair of eyeglasses i have right now? What are you thinking about?"

"I want to buy one, but is there a pink-colored one?"

"No."

"Blue-colored one?"

"Yes, there's one, but you'll wear it sometimes, don't copy my look."

"Fine, i'll use it instead when i wear a blue-colored shirt or my Ateneo tees. Sorry, i just want to have a different look."

He watched some PR Clips on You Tube w/ me:

"You're watching PR W/ me? I caught you once watching PR! How could you....."

"Sorry."

Summer of 1997:

"Let's see what are the VHS Copies you rented right now. *checks the copies* What? Power Rangers The Movie again? Don't tell me we will watch this for the entire summer!"

"We watched this during your birthday, so, let's spent summer watching that movie, is it ok?"

"Fine w/ you."

A Slight Deja Vu

"Don't tell me this month is like June of this year, maybe on the early days before the middle."

Why there will be a slight Deja Vu of what happened last June to this December? Nah, maybe because of my accidental thoughts rushing in to my head, but maybe this is better & i'd wish this events that will happen this months should happen last June. I admit June of this year was the craziest unlike June of last year where i have to stuck on my bed & wandering. June of this year? Get out of the comfort zone & try to complete a collection of the first few books of Paulo Coelho. (It did really start on the last day of summer to be exact.) Anyway, it's a few days before Christmas but i feel December is like June. Just for this year, it will be different for next year, don't worry. But i'm going to look forward for the holidays, like buying a gift for my favorite Auntie as i help her showing her the big-time yet Power Rangers-inspired Christmas gifts i want to have this Christmas including of course, the Overdrive Tracker. I also have some 2 Jollibee Kids Meal toys to buy, which is the Lizzie McGuire toys. (Speaking of Lizzie McGuire, Lizzie herself, Hillary Duff? I love her songs by the time she changed her hair-color from blonde to brunette. I would even look forward that i wish for Christmas, someone will give me the best Christmas gift w/love, With Love by Hillary Duff!) 

I suddenly asked myself, what will be the turn of events of how can i buy the 2 Jollibee Kids Meal toys for Lizzie McGuire? Will it be the same of what i did last June then for Card Captor Sakura which took me just 2 Saturdays? (1 Saturday & then the next Saturday.) But when it comes on the re-sold of the Jollibee Kids Meal toys which are sold all over this year, let me try to fill the holes in my collection, especially the 2 toys for PR Operation Overdrive. (So this time around, putting the toys in a cute chic tote bag will be A-Ok!) I feel crazy last June, but maybe this December, it's crazier than the craziest that i ever thought. Would i imagine about that? So, if the 1-Saturday-And-Then-The-Next-Saturday Plan will happen again, it's better for me to catch up on the episodes of Ryukendo. Kenji Narukami might become God Ryukendo & Fudou Jyoushirou, his BFF/Partner-in-crime will become Magna Ryugunou. Saturdays are the best when it comes on buying the Jollibee Kids Meal toys, like i remember this Jollibee TV ad from the 90's that everybody loves Saturdays. So until now, i love Saturdays.

Breaking news! My little brother is going to buy me a pair of eyeglasses that he bought for P50! Actually, it's kinda like sunnies for me, but it's more on the classic eyeglasses side w/ a chic vintage feel. The blue-colored frame is better for me, perfect for my blue-colored shirts & my Ateneo shirts. Can't wait to have that soon! 

Happy Ateneo Friends

What a way to end the year 2010 for Ateneo than a 2nd win at the Philippine Collegiate Champions League over their worthy opponents, Adamson. But oh well, the UAAP teams dominated the PCCL again for the 8th straight year i guess. But in the end, the Blue Eagles are declared the one. The one true champion & the one king of Philippine College Basketball. But for the entire year, the Blue Eagles surpass a roller-coaster ride for the 3rd UAAP Tittle & the 2nd PCCL tittle. Yes, in the 73rd Season of the UAAP, hosted by Ateneo's 'Major-Major' headache, La Salle, why i said that? Because the Green Archers are always a threat for the Blue Eagles. We still don't know who is more dominant among these 2 foes who battled out against each other from their NCAA years until now in the UAAP. A 10-4 record is a far cry from the 2 13-1 records since they started to turn the UAAP into their aerial base for 2-3 years, but this year, the kids of Katipunan Avenue proved again to never under-estimate the heart of a champion. Came the final 4 & the finals, it looks like Ateneo is on it's way to history, a history they haven't done for a long time.

In other words, the Blue Eagles surpass a crazy UAAP Season 73, but who cannot forget the 2nd game of the finals where of course, the hero of the game, Ryan Buenafe aimed the mystical, overdriven, furious (or put any Super Sentai or Power Rangers-related good puns) 3-pointer before the 20-second mark of the final quarter. As the ball enters the ring, Ryan flashed his trademark swag by showing the Ateneo name of his jersey, the Ateneo Gallery of the Araneta Coliseum during that game jumps & screams for happiness as the former Rookie Of The Year turned Finals MVP become the hero of the game. (Of course, for Ryan, he got some hugs from his team-mates including his BFF/Partner-in-crime Nico & a kiss-in-the-cheek from Bacon. Please, don't think that Bacon just came out from the closet.) As the final buzzer sounded, it was Ateneo who created history. For the 3rd year in a row, Ateneo turned the UAAP into their aerial base again. A few days after the game, there's the traditional championship bonfire, wow, that was a good night then for the Ateneo kids.

Now, at the PCCL, it looks like this will be an hats-off moment for Eric & Jumbo as they will play for the last time in an Ateneo Jersey, facing opponents like Lyceum, Mapua & University of Cebu was surely like a crazy-roller-coaster, walk-in-the-park, not-a-piece-of-cake set of games before they face off Adamson. During the game one of the finals, the Falcons were surely lucky. But on the last 2 games, they fall on a Blue Eagle trap that was certified Ateneo-made like last year where Ateneo faced their unexpected opponent in FEU during last year's PCCL. But in the end, the Blue Eagles retain the throne as the one true champion for the 2nd year in a row. I salute Eric Salamat & Jason 'Jumbo' Escueta for a job well done for this year. But somehow, i will surely miss how Eric Salamat salutes the Ateneo Gallery after he does a wonderful shot every game. The question is, who will continue it? Let's wait for the next UAAP games came July of 2011.

As Eric Salamat took the Team Captain position of Jai Reyes for the Blue Eagles this year, the Blue Eagles didn't expect that they aimed for history. (Hmm, it looks like the quote i heard from Adam Park in PR Turbo ep. 3 is a Blue Eagle-worthy quote. Eric didn't expect that they aimed for history, for Nico, he didn't expect he will taste his first MVP award being in the Hail Mary Squad. & for us Ateneo fans, we didn't expect that Ryan's Turbo-powered 3 pointer is a shot for history.) Well, let's enjoy watching the replays of Ateneo's past games in the UAAP & the PCCL on the TV or You Tube before this year ends. Let's end this year by screaming 'ONE BIG FIGHT!' to celebrate the wonderful 2010 for the kids of Katipunan Avenue.

My Not-So Ordinary Christmas Wish List

I always change my Christmas wish list year after year, for this year, it's way too different from the usual, here's the lowdown:

• Power Rangers toys from Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury & RPM
• PR Super Legends Blue & Green Rangers Figures from PR Turbo
• Crimson-Colored Nintendo DS w/ games!
• MSI Wind U100 Laptop In Pink
• Anything from Louis Vuitton (I heart LV!)
• Get Blued Ateneo 3-Peat Championship Shirt & a blue-colored Vuvuzela
• Samsung Champ in Espresso Brown
• A cute 2011 Planner
• Nike-Ateneo Team Shirt & Team Jacket
• Adidas-La Salle Centennial Team Jacket & Team Shirt
• Anything Ateneo, go & buy some at the LSB.
• A bunch of re-sold Jollibee Kids Meal Toys & McDonald's Happy Meal Toys
• A one year supply of Pocky (assorted flavors) & Milo 3-in-1 For Adults

Ok, so this is a waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too different Christmas wish list that i got unlike the past years. But about the LV goodies, that was after i received an LV shoulder bag from Auntie Maya, this year, i got started to use chic bags like the small shoulder/hand bag i used whenever i go malling w/ my family. Call me Blair Waldorf number 2 but i'm still Jumbo Escueta-tan or Jumbo Escueta the girl. But what tops my Christmas wish list right now? Power Rangers. I come back to the TV Franchise that changed my life for the better, i'm proud  to be the kid of the 90's because of that. So, let me think if i could ditch the Hua Ze Lei-like bedhead for an Adam Park-inspired Goldilocks look for the next UAAP Season. (Where is my Nico Salva jersey from this year?) & about the reason why i want to buy 2 selected PR Super Legends figures, especially from Power Rangers Turbo? Although i didn't watch the 3rd PR Team/Series released in 1997, it's my favorite among the first 10 PR series before the ABC/Jetix-released PR Teams from Ninja Storm to RPM. But why Blue & Green. It's not just about Ateneo & La Salle, it's about the cute kid who will end up becoming a Ranger & a Justin Chua-lookalike will end up having the cutest hairdo that Vic Zhou could not even imitate it. Sorry Zai-Zai, Emperor Lelouch wins the cutest hairdo battle. 

Well, Advanced Meri Kurismasu, everyone!

Buying & Receiving Gifts For Christmas 2010

No more buying cheap gifts for Christmas 2010, i would try to stop buying cheap gifts now. As i try to buy gifts for my 'baby' for the Kris Kringle that will held on Christmas Eve after Noche Buena, minutes racing to Christmas Day, time to buy gifts which is worth P200 & above. I just can't wait to buy the gifts for my 'baby', but about the 'mommy' or 'daddy' who will give me a gift for this year's Kris Kringle, i don't know who will that be. I would rather wish that he/she would give me a meaningful gift, like Power Rangers toys or Ateneo/La Salle goodies or girly stuff. Yes, the best Christmas gift for me this year would be the Overdrive Tracker from my favorite Auntie, but about the other gifts? Let me know about it on December 25. But gak! Aside from my 'baby' for this year's Kris Kringle, i better buy gifts for my Auntie too whose birthday falls this month, now the question is, what should it be? Will it be a new bottle of perfume? More tees this time w/ Anime prints? Accessories for her laptop? Whatever, it should be meaningful for her like i would sent her Christmas cards that i draw w/ some Power Rangers drawings. Never mind, i'll just do it this weekend for sure.

Christmas is not just for kids, it's for everyone of all ages, young or old, boy or girl, no matter what. For me, i enjoy December's list of events like Christmas parties, family reunions, Kris Kringle, Noche Buena & many more. I even receive some worst & best gifts from the time i got started to go to grade school & the time i experienced how high school life would be crazy for me like attending 2 classes in Junior Year HS. The worst Christmas gift for me? Oh slightly semi-worst, a can of Campbell's Mushroom Soup. Although it's not worst for me, it would be fine for someone like me to try Campbell's Mushroom Soup whenever i'm hungry & collecting labels for recipes. This year? I can't decide yet, unless Anime goodies from 2001 & 2002 was the best for me. (Will the Overdrive Tracker+PR Toys & Pocky will make it to the best gifts list? Find out in 22 days.) About class Christmas Parties from Grade School to High School, it's a mix of best & worst. The worst was nothing, the best was some Anime goodies & a cute Digimon inflatable Agumon for Grade School. For High School? The worst was nothing, the best was a 6-pack Hershey's Kissables & cheesy gifts from Junior Year HS where i decided to bring a Hero Con paper bag which i received from the 2006 Hero Con on the day i met my BFF Rei. (Because more gifts can be a disaster when you didn't have a large paper bag to keep & carry it home!) Hurray for the craziness i did when i was in Junior Year HS during our class Christmas party.

No matter if i have less than 10 or more than 10 Christmas gifts, i would surely enjoy Christmas 2010.

Nostalgic Days

What happens if there's a day where you would love to go back in time if the days were hectic & stressed out. Everyday can be a nostalgia day, no matter what. Somehow, i remember the nostalgic days back one year ago due to my mom. This year, it gets nostalgic than i ever thought. Like i broke a Pocky stick between my teeth when i found out my mom is giving me some of her stuff. (Like what if i do that? I was even thinking i could do that because my mom & i are always stuck at home, there are times mom watches TV w/ me.) I remember i woke up one Thursday morning last month when mom told me that the tote bag she used once for Christmas one year ago will be already mine. I was in bed, sleepy & puffy-eyed, i heard what mom said. Now, it's like there are 2 Thursdays back last month where mom followed the heirloom rule. The most of them all? Of course, my beloved Grandmother. Although i'm the first daughter, Grandma kept requesting me to go on a vacation at her house anytime. I do really love what my Grandma gives to me. But, when it comes on spending a vacation at her house? Hmm, maybe i should bring a bag full of PR toys so i won't be homesick. 

 

Now, about what just happened to me today, i was just doing my morning routine of watching clips on You Tube & BOOM! I just watched past TV ads for the Power Rangers toys! Ah, it reminds me about being the kid of the 90's. (You will never be a kid of the 90's when you haven't watched the Power Rangers.) Of all the TV shows i enjoyed watching since my childhood years, i surely enjoy watching Power Rangers, even until now. Not bad for me when my auntie called me Ms. Power Rangers or dad doing his best to buy the 2 Jollibee Kids Meal toys for PR Operation Overdrive on re-sale mode. (Talk about some PR talk even we know that we sometimes 'clash' against each other due to the UAAP schools & teams we support, but never mind, we're just like friends aside from being dad-&-daughter.) Today for me is a Power Rangers Nostalgia Day for me after watching past PR toy ads on YT. I even could remember the times when i was a kid, i don't miss out on watching the episodes for MMPR-S2 & S3, even i could miss a single ep of PR Zeo & PR Turbo. For me, those PR memories during my grade school days were fun, even when i just re-entered high school back 6 years ago. 

Even now when i crave for Pocky & drinking a tall glass of Pepsi, Coke Zero or a hot cup of Milo 3 in 1 For Adults, there will be the days where the past starts to enter. But if the chance that i will have the DVD copy of PR The Movie, let me take a break from watching the re-runs of Ateneo's games in the UAAP Season 73-Men's Basketball Games to watch how Adam Park & his pals save the world from evil before he control minds using the Geass just to become Lelouch vi Britannia, the 99th Emperor of Britannia. While watching it, i could cuddle myself in bed, hugging a Blue Eagle stuffed toy in one arm & remembering the movie that changed my life as a 90's kid. Let me admit, i enjoy being a Power Rangers fan-girl.
