27th of March, 2012 - Kaichou wa Maid Sama! Chapter 69

+Manga Link+

The translation just came out today
and I was lucky enough check the website today.

The story of this chapter is somewhat
well. . . somehow you can divide it into
3 section: school, house, maid latter cafe

1st School
The school scene is just a short one
where it shows that Misaki is being less
scary to the students. They said she starts
to smile ever since she's with Usui.

2nd House
The house scene is quite funny
where Misaki received a message from Usui
"Young lady, what's the colour of the underwear
you're wearing tonight?"
and of course Misaki would shout
to him at the phone
"PERVERTED ALIEN!"
The rest I'm sure you'd already know

3rd Maid Latte Cafe
At this scene, there was a newcomer
an old dude who wanted to become a chef
at Maid Latte Cafe. Usui then tested one
of his dishes and said he could have
been a chef at a greater restaurant.
Then blah blah blah
he reveals himself in the end of the chapter.

---------------

Overall, it seems the author
is starting to struggle with the plot.
Well it happens a lot to manga and anime
that has a really really long story.
The story was 'okay'

That's All For Now!

24th March, 2012 - Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen

A very well known fashion designer in Britain
and he's my next favourite fashion designer.

Born in 17 March 1969 and
a sad end in 11 February 2010
Some of his works can be seen in
the Hunger Games movie and I'd say
it's really striking.

Upon researching about him,
I didn't really get anything
except a lot of beautiful pictures
of his designs




Somehow I just wish I could
wear some of his works.
Although I don't really know much
about him and his career but I'd prefer
staring at his design and just think of
what it is all about.

----------------

This is Dayjavue photography
and has nothing to do with
Alexander McQueen actually XD
I just wanted to share the photo
because it's lovely

That's All For Now!

24th of March, 2012 - The Hunger Games [Movie]

Yesterday I went to watch
The Hunger Games Movie
At first I never know about it
but I heard that it has a 90% rating
out of 100%, which means
I thought it must be a pretty good movie.

I watched it to find out
and surprisingly IT IS a good movie


The story starts with the main character
Katniss Everdeen (I think she's beautiful)
who went hunting out of the borders of
District 12 with a guy name
Gale Hawthorne
who apparently is her best friend
They've met for years and
eventually they became
hunting partners.


From the look of it, they seem to
have start loving each other but it
wasn't really obvious.
Until when the Reaping,
which is the lottery for the
Hunger Games, each district
has to have a representative
of a male and female between the
age of 12 and 18.
Effie Trinket was the one who
was in charge for the Reaping

(I just love their fashion!!)

It was a battle to the death,
kind of an entertainment for
the rich since all the districts are poor.
Katniss' sister, Primrose Everdeen
was chosen to be
the representative for the female
in their district, but upon hearing
her sister's name, she volunteered
herself for the hunger games.
The male representative was
Peeta Mellark, a bakery son
who once saw Katniss in the rain
by the tree starving
and he threw a bread for her.


During their journey to the Capitol
where the Hunger Games was held,
they met their tutor, Haymitch Abernathy
who was drunk at that time.
He didn't really care about
Katniss and Peeta at first
maybe because he have watched
many deaths through his tutoring.
He was the 50th Hunger Games winner
and he really is skillful.

Then after arriving at Capitol,
a huge audience and fans were
striving with enthusiasm when they
saw the representative.
There they met Cinna
who was in charge for Katniss' and Peeta's
outfit and style during the open ceremony


He made Katniss as the 'Girl on Fire'
after making an impression in
the open ceremony.
After that, Katniss' reputation
instantly became popular
and she were expected to be
the winner for the 74th Hunger Games,
well that's what I think.

As the movie goes on, Peeta
announced at the TV Show
that he had a crush on Katniss
for a long time.
After Peeta went back stage,
he was attacked by Katniss
during her rage upon hearing it.
However, along the hunger games
they both fell in love
and the author would show
how Gale would be jealous of Peeta
for kissing Katniss in the cave.

It was a really romantic, action, thrill
movie that I have ever seen and
it is one of the best so far.

I really would wish that
either Haymitch or Cinna
was the one kissing or spending
the night with Katniss because
it really seemed that they are into her.
And plus Haymitch and Cinna
are way cooler and mature than
that emo-ish Peeta.
Aside from that I really adore Katniss
and her hunting skills.
Her rating among the judges
was the highest among the contestant
which was an 11 out of 12.

----------------

After the movie ended,
there was that beautiful song.
So I'll conclude here with it.



Taylor Swift - Safe and Sound

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

22nd of March, 2010 - SeeFood & Lorax [MOVIE]

So that day I watched this movie
SeeFood
and it's probably the shittiest movie
that I've ever seen.
I don't even know why it's being made
into a movie
Then after watching it,
I saw that small column
"Malaysian movie"
and I said "Oh"

The graphics and animation
may be cool and in high quality
but . . .my goodness. . .
the plot and story
does it even have any moral values?

I mean okay so the sharks
went on land to save the baby egg sharks
that were captured by the humans
and along the way the met the chickens
which helped them.
If they couldn't understand crab language,
what makes them understand chicken language?
And what does the water pollution
have to do anything with the Eel?
The sharks are too. . . emo-ish
which makes me go "EEEEEE"

-----------------

Let me share a saying of what
Tom Cruise said when it comes
to making movies.
He said that if the movie effect is
great and has that "wow"
but if the storyline is shitty,
the movie would be overall
become shitty.

At first I thought
the movie was something more or less
like Lorax

Lorax is about a town that
their trees are made out of plastic
and they don't care what
happened to the trees and what
effect does plastics do to Earth.
Then the story continues of how
a boy cut down all the fine trees
to make this really fine fabric
which later made him a
multi-millionare.
The first tree that he chopped down
made the Lorax appeared before him.
Lorax tells the guy that he speaks
for the trees and that
a great misfortune awaits if
he continues chopping down
all the trees.
When the very last tree is brought down,
the guy then realized his mistake
but then at that moment
it was already too late.
Then the Lorax left
him with one word on a large stone
"Unless"

I love the Lorax movie overall
especially the storyline and songs.
It's kinda catchy.

That's All For Now!
Thanks For Sticking Around!

22nd of March, 2010 - The World Only God Knows

bleh. . . I'm quite lazy to update
my anime column because I have
watched a lot of animes and already
miscounted them.
. .But I'm doing it anyways. .

Before I read Eyeshield 21
I was reading TWOGK
which stands for
The World Only God Knows


The hero to this funny yet cool anime
is 桂木 桂馬 Katsuragi Keima.
Known as a God of galge game
because of his obsession to it
and how he devoted his life to it.
In the manga, he is mostly seen
when he plays with his PFP
especially in class.
He scores a really high score
than among the students
which made the teachers
gave up on not letting him
playing games in class.
However, he is very bad in P.E. class
but sometimes even play his PFP
while running the field.

Then one day when he received
a mysterious email,
he didn't know that by accepting
the challenge of the request
he would use his capturing
skills in getting the Weiss
or escaped spirits from girls.
The story goes on and eventually
it becomes a harem type anime.
Although I'm not usually a harem fan
but TWOGK really caught my
attention. The manga is still
ongoing and. . . I love it :3

------------

One of the reasons why I love the manga/anime
is because of Katsuragi Keima!
Sometimes the author would
show Keima side which could make
any girls fall in love
(and it's not when he has to be pretentious)

One of the part that I love in the series
is when either Keima or Elsie
would come into the bathroom
and goes into the bathtub while not
realizing of Elsie's or Keima's presence
Hahaha!
And how Keima would blush
about it and . . oh I don't know!

That's All For Now!

22nd of March, 2010 - Miyavi

So yesterday I found out a really really
cool Japanese male singer [finally]
that could really impressed me
in every way.

Before this it was a group band named
Kalafina which I fell in love with
then there's Rurutia,
Hamasaki Ayumi, Utada Hikaru,
Anna Tsuchiya, Asian Kung-fu generation,
Perfume. . . . okay so I just knew I'm
a Japanese song fanatic

------------

石原 貴雅, Ishihara Takamasa,
born in September 14, 1981
which means this year he's 31 years old
another fact that impressed me
He is better known as his stage name
Miyavi

A visual kei Japanese musician
if you don't know what is visual kei,
it is a type of movement in Japan
among Japanese Rock Musicians
and is characterized by the use of elaborate
costumes, eccentric, looks and hairstyles.
The Visual Kei look usually involves striking make-up.
and previously he was in a band call Dué le Quartz.
He is noted to have a normal childhood
of being a good student and loves to
play soccer.
However, after a soccer injury which
unable him to play in the team,
he bought his first guitar (although initially
he wanted to buy a bass-guitar)
and from then he writes music
then later joined Dué le Quartz
known to be Miyabi, as a guitarist.
But then the band
was disbanded in 2002 which
made Miyavi to continue
his music career in solo.

When I first listened to one of his songs
which is 'Itooshii Hito' while I was
looking for Eyeshield 21 doujinshi
in youtube, I fell in love with Miyavi's
voice straight away and made
a research about him.
He has a really beautiful and pretty face
I guess you can say he's
one of those bishounen guys?
I'm not surprised if some people
think him as a woman at first glance
but he's really pretty!
Aside from his beautiful face
and his amazing voice
he also has a baby girl!
He's a father O:
I didn't really want to research
more deep into that of how
it come about but I'm
more like. . . impressed.

p.s. his voice is just full of emotion
and I heard during his live performance
he didn't remember his lyrics
but everyone was crying because
the emotion is there.

English Translation

My beloved
Don't cry, show me a smile.
I didn't say I liked seeing tears, did I?

My beloved
It's all right, you're not lonely, now.
Just when you're lonely, I'm lonely too?

My beloved
Don't open your closed eyes just yet, ok.
Just like that... just like that...
but don't go to sleep (laugh)


My beloved
It's not "I could die for you" but rather
I've decided "I'll live for you"
Of course together with you too,
now, forever, and ever

Don't love yourself any more,
'cause I'll have what's left over.

My beloved
Even if we were to be born again,
because I would be this me,
And you will be that you.
And I will say this again, always, always.

My beloved
Slowly open those eyes,
it's the same as always isn't it?

That is good.
That is good.

20th of March, 2012 - My Next Greatest Addiction

Recently I was being introduced
to an anime entitled
Eyeshield 21
which is an American Football sport anime.

I've heard about it in Kreko before
and in the past I just read pass it
because I never really knew what
was the story all about.
So then when I first watched the anime
I immediately fell in love with it
because of one guy.

YOICHI HIRUMA !

Yes~ the most demonic guy
I have ever met in all anime
Except maybe for the guy in Hellsing
and. . . heck. .

There are other guys as well
but that's a secret~

------------------

The story starts with a guy name
Kobayakawa Sena
Initially he's a very fragile kid
and always gets bullied at.
He has this amazing 'golden legs'
which could make him run
4.2 seconds in a 40 yards dash.
As he was being chased by the
three Huh-Huh brothers,
he dashed through the crowds
and somehow Hiruma was among
the crowds and saw Sena dashing
in light speed.
After seeing how talented Sena was,
Hiruma decided to drag Sena
into the American Football club
by forcefully making Sena a runner
although at first Sena only wanted
to become the club's secretary.

And the story goes on
for about 300+ chapters.
Never have I felt so alive
watching such anime sport
and at the same time having
those 'Kyaa kyaa' moments.

--------------

I fully respect the author to the anime
because to be creating such story line
as well as such drawing style
with multiple of characters, personalities,
and such. . . it takes years and years
of experience to be able to do such thing
although I know that the anime
isn't a 1 person's doing
but still. . . I adore it very much.

That's All For Now!
YA-HA!!

27th of February, 2012 - Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Chapter 68!!

+Manga Link+

Yes I'm still reading KWMS series

The mangaka has my admiration XD

In this chapter, another two
Miyabigaoka students appeared
with the same motive with the previous trio
which is to befriend with Usui Takumi
because of politics as well as business.
However, these two characters
are somewhat funnier hahahaha!!

Here's a peek:

It's so hilarious how Tenryuu go
"RAW DIAMOND! RAW DIAMOND!"

That's All For Now!
Be Sure To Read The Manga!
