This is your Christmas gift!
Yes, I know how much you missed me. I know how worried you were about me, wondering if I’m okay, whether I’ve been eating or sleeping well, or if I’m cold from the sudden December chill. I know how difficult it is to restrain your self from not brooding about me these past few weeks. Well, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. I’m here! I’m aliiiiiiiive! Hallelujah! XP
Last Tuesday was fuuun. I’ve gotten to play PS2 with several blockmates. Gods, I miss play station. We played Marvel vs. Capcom and Tekken and Wrestling. Wrestling was oddly amusing. I totally kicked ass! *smug* Kudos to Koji of course. He taught me the basics. Naturally, I sucked at Tekken. Methinks Francis just pitied me with my sufficiently retarded act (“Sana manalo akoooooooh!”) when I won against him. Jezzah = pathetic
I did not attend the Paskuhan. Hello! We just had our exams, I’m tired, it ends late and I live in another corner of universe called Pasig. I also instinctively assumed it would reek. UST, IMO, is the university counterpart of St. Scho Marikina. They’re in the same ranks of kill joy-ness. And what’s the big deal anyway with fireworks? Yes, it’s loud and “puh-retty” and it’s the perfect opportunity to gaze up in the heavens and look like a cute innocent little girl or boy (Omigod! It’s Lei! *hyperventilates*), but you’ll have to inhale a thick sea of smog afterwards. It’s also said to drive away evil spirits. Considering the ultra mega concentrated, super powerful evil energies that reside in my heart and lungs and kidneys and brain and pancreas, I wouldn’t last long. I would be blown away to another galaxy and the next time you see me, I’m already with an army of green and purple aliens and we would take over the earth.
Watched few episodes of the live action series of Gokusen. I was super relieved when I saw a pretty pretty girl play Yankumi. Because I’m more-or-less (more) a lookist, I can’t feel the faintest trace of kilig when I watched the anime. Whenever Shin and the teacher were onscreen together, I fought the urge to retch. It totally bothered me that the cute boy won’t be paired up with a cute girl. Wait, since I’m cynical and I believe that story in the live action drama was modified in the name of fan service, was there ever a Shin/Yamaguchi pairing in the anime? I may just have imagined that. I make up stories all the time that sometimes I can’t draw the line between what’s real and what’s not. How freaky. I may have schizo tendencies. o_o;
Just a piece of advice though: limit your viewing pleasure to an episode a day. Exceed that and suffer dark consequences. I watched three episodes in one night and I may have permanently damaged my eardrums. There is this peculiar ringing in my ear. There was just too much shouting. Thank the gods that the actress who played Yankumi doesn’t have an irritating, high-pitched voice. I would have gone bonkers. I also felt tired after every episode. Everyone was… *gasp* running. Whenever the characters would jump over fences and chase each other or race towards “the big bright sun” (or something along those lines), I expected logos of energy drinks to flash on the screen (“Enerva, ang energy drink ng Filipina!”).
And, you know, because I love to fangirl, I just have to say that Shin is cute. Those soulful eyes, the suplado air, the trademark do-he’s practically Vic’s twin! He’s got acrobatic skills! He leaps! He lurches! He sprints! And he does all that in a macho-manly fashion! It’s kawaii~!
But you know what’s more kawaii? My dad has become a fan of the series! XD He finds the idea of having a yakuza teacher interesting. He finds the characters endearing and the plot cute. He even got to expand his Japanese vocab (Bakero ne! Baka! Nani?! XP). When I told him that Gokusen is an anime, he was like, OOOOWS?! O_O;;;; I am soooo happy! Next time I watch Fruits Basket or some other anime, he wouldn’t be able to tell me that I’m a baaybeee watching meh cartoooons. Hah! X’D
Anna told me that GMA is planning to air Gokusen. That’s an entertaining notion. I wonder how they’ll translate the Yakuza talk. Will they replace it with “jologs” and “erpats” and “olats” (and all other kanto words with “s” in the end)? Animax translated “Ojou” to “Missy”. Baka gawin nilang “Bosing”. XDDD
*~**~*
I’m super proud of myself. I managed to attend two debuts despite the fact that it was exam week last week. I can totally multitask! Although the stress made me break out hideously and now I hide in my room, afraid that my face would freak people out. (“Ano ba ang mayroon sila na hindi matatagpuan sa akin/Ako nga ba’y kakaiba sa kanilang paningin?”) XP
Jan’s debut was fun. Mean turned into a coat-sporting guy slayer, and everyone else was possessed. We were so noisy. Aww, I miss everyone. Sayang I wasn’t able to see Angela and erm, Tin (Yehess! Tin!). And ang daming fans ni Jan! Woohoo!
Thank gods I attended Kresta’s debut. Everyone looked pretty-Kresta was absolutely blooming (I so love her dress!) and Pinky looked beautiful in blue (Ito na yung pamasko ko sa inyo ha!). And I looked charming. Blame my bloated ego on Ryan, who was spurting with praises and flattery all night. :D
*~***~*
JM finally came home and so we had a reunion. We watched a movie at Blue Wave. It’s a tiiiiiny mall, but it’s far more decent than S-mall. The movie, “The Family Stone” (or was it “The Stone Family”? o_O?) is okay but it’s not worth the seventy five pesos. IT’S A CHRISTMAS PRESENTATION, for crying out loud! Who pays to watch a Christmas presentation in the big screen?!!
Eherm. Anyway, everyone became prettier. Lovely and She were, as usual, picking on me. That’s how they show their love. Well, that’s what they say at least. XDDD I missed Anne. It’s weird because for three years we saw each other five times a week, and now we rarely meet. She went with her brother who looked, I quote Lovely, “gwaping.” Binata na nga.
I’m suddenly feeling the urge to cry. Everyone is changing and maturing and I’m stuck in this demented ditch. I’m still immature and frustrated and so un-together. It sucks. x_x
Bah. Merry Christmas anyway! :)
