Bla, bla, late post, bla ...

Ok, so yeah, I forgot to do yesterday's post, though I don't really think anyone cares much. Anyways, I'm really tired right now, since I've only had 6 hours of sleep, which is quite rare for the break, and have been awake since 9:30.

Anyways, don't know what to talk about, so here's a comic on Kingdom Hearts (click on it, since it won't fit).

Summer ... IS HERE!

Konata loves Summer!

Yes! It's finally Summer (well, technically not yet, BUT FOR STUDENTS YEAH!!!) Summer is the time of the year where students, who have sat on chairs for 25 hours a week, expand their horizons outside of the classroom. Whether you're working your jobs, taking a road trip, or just plain ol' sleeping, Summer is the most anticipated time of the year! The hours of endless gaming awaiting, the sight of bikini girls on the beaches, and of course, the taste of wonderful, sweet ice cream!

Er, well, I guess not like this ... Either way, there's too much to do for Summer, especially when 3 of my most anticipated animes are coming out. Spice and Wolf II, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and Zan Sayonaru Zetsubou Sensei!

I'm also going to go to California, to tour around the UCLA campus, my dream university. For Asians, it's either UCLA or seppukku, and I surely don't want the latter... maybe I'll also visit DisneyLand, see some of my homeboys in Chinatown, and hit the beaches. Gonna be fun timez ahead!

Well then, to all of you guys who have been liberated from your teachers, and to those who are still suffering, have a nice Summer, and have a lot of fun!

Phở is Phat!

We left early today for school, since we still have Finals. Today was not that bad, but tomorrow are my easiest classes: Math and Justice/Peace. They practically gave us the answers for the tests. Either way, right now I'm hungry, and can only think of the wondrous miracle that is Phở. A good friend of mine will take me to get some tomorrow, so that'll be good.

To all you noobz out there livin under rocks, phở (pronounced "fuh") is a Vietnamese soup dish made with slices of thin beef, rice vermicelli noodles, and several hours prepared broth.

The way you do it is simmer the broth with chicken bones, steaks, onions, spices, and other stuff for like 4-5 hours. After that is done, you take the noodles and boil them with salt for about 10 minutes to make that thin and soft texture. Always add the sliced meat on top of the noodles before preparing to shower it with the broth. It doesn't matter if the meat is a little rare, as the broth has been specialized to turn it brown in a matter of seconds. Then you can add any other condiments, i.e. green stuff or onions. When the soup is on the table, usually people add spicy red Sriracha and black Hoisin sauce to the bowl, which enchances the flavor. Mix up your soup, and you have a perfectly great dish to dine on. Of course, there are more extras that you can add to the dish, like a little bit of lime or some bean sprouts. It depends on what you want to eat, but either way, phở still stands victorious, and will satisfy even the hungriest of men!

Michael Toppa recently ate at Com Pho in Tokyo, which serves a "highly bastardized" phở - not bad, but not strictly phở. It's sad, but Japan just doesn't have enough phở restaurants that it needs. Surely we need more chefs and cooks to migrate there and make the recipies slowly integrate into the Japanese culture.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve written a pho review. I have a backlog of a few I’ve been meaning to write (two more in Philly and one in San Mateo), and hopefully I’ll get to those soon. But for now I’ll weave my talk of pho with my ongoing talk of Tokyo. Pho is not easy to find in Japan. While the Vietnamese diaspora in Tokyo is big enough to sustain at least a few Vietnamese restaurants, you usually need to go to a specialty shop to get good pho. Thanks to the dazzling pho-king site, I was aware of at least one pho restaurant in Tokyo. Unfortunately, I never made it there - it would have been an excursion to get there from where we lived, and it just never made it to the top of the list. But I did stumble across the Com Pho stand in the basement of the Marunouchi Oazo shopping center, located across the street from Tokyo station. Com Pho is a chain with four locations in Tokyo, but I haven’t been to the others."

As you can see though, phở is an international phenomenon. No matter where you are, as long as there are chinatowns and asian minority regions, a phở shop is bound to be found. Being as one of our most treasured skills, a chef of phở has the knowledge and experience equivalent to te ancient old masters of the martial arts. Even today, they fight an epic battle to preserve the magnificent culture that is asian. This here, is what a modern day phở shop is:
To Crik and Vidad, this was the Florida shop i was talking about :3

Phở for tomorrow, !@#$ yeah!!!

Negima and Finals

Had just finished reading the new chapter of Negima, 252. Guess what happened in the end? Surprise! Yuri action!!! (＾∇＾) I had a slight feeling Konoka and Setsuna were gonna do this sometime in the future, but it all happened so fast and suddenly ... and it felt so good ...

Akamatsu Ken is one of my favorite mangakas, and many know him for his work on Love Hina. Personally, however, I believe Mahou Sensei Negima is his masterpiece. The artwork stands out as being very detailed and cute, but at the same time intense during battle sequences. It is sharp and reminds me of some of Nobuhiro Watsuki's stuff, like Rurouni Kenshin (though that was back in the old days...). I also love the cast of characters, with over 30 main female characters, and a single (albeit young) mage teacher. It's like the perfect harem series!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, now that I've gotten rid of the urge to manganize (its a word, google it) my blog post, lets get back to RL. Today was the first day of finals, AND IT RAPED MY SORRY ASS!!! Having APUSH, Spanish, and Journalism in a row turned my sunny (bad, bad, bad) day into a day of living hell. Although I studied for stuff in Spanish, it did not help at all. Future and subjuctive tenses are too freakin' related to each other with the use of haber to be able to differentiate. Furthermore, the teacher just had to make such a brain-wracking test that almost no one fully understood. It was just horrible ...

Why can't schools have otaku-based tests? Or atleast a class in the study of anime, manga, and video games? I would surely take that class, and score at the very top! Then when it comes to Finals, we could play a video game. I'd sure beats the shit outta what we do every year during the last week of May. And even if you had failed the tests, it still would have been good, because instead of a big, fat F-, you'd get Orihime and a GAME OVER. Sexy♥.

Also, lol at those who actually googled manganize...

Corn pops...

Sleep...?

Today's topic: Sleep

To be honest, the reason why I chose this was because I had just woken up from an intense 4-hour midday 'nap', or so to speak. These naps refresh my mind and body for the upcoming horrors of of high school life a.k.a. homework...

When I sleep, I tend to get into that curled up position facing either the left or right side of the bed. I usually don't sleep looking up, cause I tend to move around alot. There's also those times where I have insomnia, and can't sleep at all, due to worries that fly 'round in my mind about regrets, life, future, and other depressive crap. It helps when I put on music to listen to when I sleep. I've been conditioned from early childhood to listen music when I sleep, so I can't really get out of that habit. Plus, it makes you daydream before you sleep, which is a positive! (or atleast for me). Here's the sad part about my sleeping habits though. I tend to need something to hold to when I sleep （；_・）... *sigh* I'm so lonely ...

Anyways, don't you guys hate it also when you can't remember a REALLY amazing dream? I don't mean the ones about girls, (although those are fine too...) but those ones that were too outrageous to be anything near a fraction of reality, but you accepted them the way they were anyways and went along with them? And it always sucks, cause there is always that clue or picture in your mind that teases you about what you dreamt about, but you can't seem to expand it? A great enigma ...

On a last note, when you wake up after a good sleep, there are times when you feel like shit... It happens alot to me, though that's probably because I take too many naps. It's like when you wake up suddenly, you have a massive headache and your eyes hurt like Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking them. And there are retards who want to talk to you, and you respond by mumbling ... yep, too often ...

Anyways, I've ranted on long enough. I chose the picture for this because I couldn't find any good anime guy sleeping, or waking up from sleeping...and the ones I found were Yaoi....yeah...

EDIT: I am a ninja to those who sleep ...

CORN POPS!!! ... (*´ο`*)

Happy Memorial Day!

Other than it being the holiday, today's not really exciting... all I've been doing for the past 10 hours was eat, Disgaea, and anime/manga.

I've also got nothing to talk about today. With that, I'll leave you guys something to reminisce about...

In your life...

...ruining your childhood...



Hated the yellow one （￣～￣;）...

Rain, dogs, and cats, oh my!

Today, I will be talking about rain. Isn't it the shit? I mean, the aroma of when the droplets hit the ground, the cool atmosphere, and the melancholy feelings? ITS LIK PURFECT FER ME :D! If anything, I could be this dog here waiting for a *certain* someone. Notice how the rain emphasizes the loneliness.


It's kinda weird though, cause I've never had stood out in the rain like that before. But if I had an umbrella, I would do it. That's how much I love rain!

Here's a list explaining the other aspects of rain:

1. It's water
2. It's cold
3. It's the shitz!
4. Asians love it
5. Dogs hate it
6. Cats give Hai 5s

Now, onto other news, I can't seem to configure my template using html codes. It's annoying cause I want to make the posts a little bit bigger on the left side, since there's that whole space of nothingness...don't wanna fall into it...
Maybe I'll get it later on. Doesn't seem much worth if I trouble over it too much...

EDIT: Ok, so it really did rain alot over where I am. I forgot to mention that I loved thunder and lightning too. Here's a pretty cool story about it:

A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though the weather one morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the elementary school.

As the day progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning. The mother of the little girl was worried that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school, and she herself feared that the electrical storm might harm her child. Following the roar of the thunder, lightning would cut through the sky like a flaming sword.

Being concerned, the mother got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school. Soon she saw her daughter walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look and smile. One followed another, each with the little girl stopping, looking at the streak of light and smiling.

Finally, the mother called her over to the car and asked, "What are you doing?"

The child answered, "God keeps taking pictures of me!"



Let's see ... corn pops for tomorrow? ...

Moe Mikuru is BACK!!! :3

Good news everyone. As you may have already know (or may not have...), the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi is already on air. First new episode released by Coal Guys and gg. Personally, I'm kinda disappointed that is not in very high quality (about 170 mb) compared to some of the other series going on right now. However! It's all good, 'cause this has been anticipated since way back in 2006. MORE MOE MIKURU :3 well, maybe not as moe as Mio...

Love 'em both though :3

Cheese cake for tomorrow.

Countdown until Summer

I've got about one more week of school left until Summer break. I'm really already in the break mode, 'cause I've been playing with cards for the last two weeks or so. It's really lonely though, since I only play Go Fish by myself. *sigh* Life is cruel.

Right now, I'm at my friend's house though. There's Neb, Leiott, Crik, and Vidad with me. HA! Those are just anagrams. See if you can figure them out:

Neb ___
Leiott ______

Crik ____

Vidad _____

Jokes aside, I love playing go fish there's one game that I've been following lately for the last two months or so. Disgaea 3, the ultimate anime RPG. With over 50 creatable characters, and a level cap of 9999, it can satisfy the most intense of asian nerds. Right now, I'm at 82 hours of play with only my main character at level 1400 or something like that. Yeah... more of the stereotypical otaku in me >.<

Here's a pic of what I would look like playing Disgaea 3... as a girl...

Cupcakes for tomorrow.

A new change!

Today I'm going to fall into the world of blogging! yay... though I'm very new to this and don't know what to do. But as my title says, I'm gonna probably make this like my online diary. Right now, I'm at home chillin' 'cause I didn't want to go to school. It's not that I ditched it because ... ok yeah, maybe I did ditch then. Oh well. Anyways, I kinda feel melancholic right now, so I'm gonna go eat some waffles and watch anime.

BTW, as recognition for my awesome first post, let's put on a big welcoming sign :D and some Sambomaster love!
