Reborn!
Finally! an entry that isn't full of me crying.
P.S. Thank you to everyone who commented on my last entry. For some comments I didn't comment back because I think it might be a waste to just repeatedly say "Thank you" to everyone... because I hope you do understand my feelings of gratitude for your support.
So!!! sihiya introduced me to Reborn last weekend! and it's soooo cool!!! I totally love it. It's a manga featured weekly in Shonen Jump... so pretty obvious I would enjoy it. The majority of my favorite manga are from Jump - One Piece, Prince of Tennis, Yugioh!, and Death Note!
Reborn has really distracted me this week... (reading all 272 chapters since Saturday) and I love the storyline!!! I think the idea of "What would your regret be if you were to die right now?" and really bonding as a "family" (friends/mafia) really touched me.
I think that's also why I like One Piece so much. The relationships between the characters and willingness to do anything for them! So touching!
I really wish this world wasn't all explored and I could be a pirate like in One Piece - not a raping/plundering/burning pirate - but an explorer pirate with no rules! That really would be the best life!
I know that if times were rough I would do anything! When my mother was in the hospital I kept thinking "If there's anything I can do physically I will do it." If it were to take my lung or any organ or anything! I really would have done it. The same thing with my brother. I know that I would really do anything for him - because we're family.
I am a very optimistic person and I also am a people pleaser (to an extent) - and I've had incredible headaches/migranes lately... but last Monday when I told Peter I would go to the Clipper game with him... I took a nap and woke up with a total migrane. I called him after taking some Tylenol and told him I wouldn't go... then I regretted it and said I would go a minute after feeling like I let him down... or that someone else could have went in my place... but I had a great time with him! (and the Clippers won! and I got a free hat! and Peter got to shoot free throws and win!)
I'm happy I went because that's what friends do! Even if things are bad, you can't let them bring down your whole life. I gave myself the past few weeks to grieve, and I still do, but I would never want to bring anyone else down. That's why I isolated myself from everybody.
I told my seniors in my classes on Tuesday that I cancelled class before our winter break because my mother passed away. I cried a bit after, but was able to compose myself. I then taught class and afterwards everyone gave me their condolences and told me that I was able to handle my grief well because they all knew how much my mother meant to me (since I mentioned her to them quite a bit). I told them that I was taught as a teacher/instructor you can't bring a negative attitude to a class ever; and if I come in crying or depressed then they will share my feelings so I have to show a positive expression. I told them I really want to do my best to make their days better and make the class worth coming for them.
Sort of bird-walked from the original topic. but!!! Reading manga totally made me a more hopeful person. I am a hopeful, optimistic, positive person and I really want to do my best to be a good person/friend/girlfriend/daughter/sister! and I wish I was a pirate. Or part of something really cool... where I had a super special weapon! Like in One Piece... or Reborn... or a "dunk smash" like in Prince of Tennis!
Sometimes I also wish I wasn't so lazy sometimes! I would also wish I was Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser. She's sooooo cool! and she really is helping revolutionize the world through exercise and passion!!!
anyways... sort of a random entry. Busy day tomorrow! I have tons of errands to do... and I'm running on 2 hours of sleep from last night (if I actually slept - I'm not sure). Maybe Anime-LA? I really don't want to drive... maybe.
