Spring 2008: Itazura na Kiss, Bus Gamer, Chi's Sweet Home, Macross Frontier and Golgo 13
Itazura na Kiss
Booya! Finally, a romantic comedy that I can enjoy ;p Itazura na Kiss is basically your tried-and-tested romance comedy about two very different people - a dumdum sort of girl paired with a brooding, genius-y type of guy. They meet, they fight and poof!, they fall in love. Hum, my kind of show, one that doesn't go all philosophical on me :D
It's like Nodame Cantabille, though, not as good yet. Animation is, at times, bland and undefined, but for now, I'm enjoying the first 2 episodes. The strongest point of Itazura, so far, is its comedy, and I hope they won't go all melodramatic later on. For now, rollickin' fun!
Bus Gamer
One of the first series to come out for the Spring season, and frankly, I'm just disappointed. There's nothing in this show that's watch-worthy. I dunno, it just, sucks :/ The good thing, accordingly, is that it's only 3 episodes long (really, why even bother at all?). I'm 2 episodes in, and I officially won't venture with episode 3.
Hum, the guy reminds me of Sanjo of Gensoumaden Saiyuki fame ;/
Dropped :s
Chi's Sweet Home
This is too cute for it's own good. The show is actually, to correct my previous post, only 3 minutes long, and it works really well: a full-length episode of a cat trying to find its way home will be puh-retty boring. As hell. Seriously.
Anyway, this one's a winner. I can't see how Chi can go wrong ;3
*Cue: AAAAWWWWWW*
Macross Frontier
I have not, in all honesty, watched a single Macross episode in my entire life. Macross Frontier is a first for me, and thankfully, its a show that's basically geared for Macross noobs: you don't need a solid background on Macross to understand and enjoy this show.
I loved the CG battles in space set in time with great music. Reminds me of Vandread, another favorite of mine (if only it wasn't so harem-y ;p). I'd like to watch episode 2 right now, but I keep getting bad fansubs - it won't play nicely!
Golgo 13
It's supposed to be an adaptation of a classic, but I haven't got the faintest clue about it. Still, a dark, nitty-gritty story of assassins, guns and crimes. It got compared to James Bond a lot, so I expect its got some dark stories, spy themes and women.
I got the first episode, but I haven't finished it yet. The animation is not what I'm used to seeing in a Japanese anime: it's more of, I dunno, Western in style rather than anime.
So, Golgo. I dunno. Maybe.

Bursts of dopamine
Done on notepad. Gotta love the f5 key on that one.

Seriously, I need a Sai plushie. Somebody give me a Sai plushie!!
I am a fangirl.
There, I said it. Yes, the only reason why I watch anime is because it has men of various degrees of hotness and smexiness *big, big grin*
You'd think that this fangirl phase would disappear with age. You grow older, more mature and you leave the rabidness behind, along with the remnants of your once angsty, adolescent self.
But I digress. I believe that the rabid fangirl-ism (or fanboy-ism, if it exists :D) simply hibernates along with the body's hormones until it can find the opportunity to rage again.
What this hibernation needs, is a precursor, a stimuli of pure dynamism and energy to effectively wake the fangirl out of stupor.
*ZOMG, SAAAAAAAAIIII!*
EDIT:
On another note, I noticed that the NarutoSasuke pairing is really popular, along with the slightly disturbing, incestuous pairing of SasukeItachi, and now, SaiSasuke is gaining popularity as well.
Ohmmmmmm O_o;

How to keep the cupboard full.
I do groceries now. Every 15th and 30th of the month, I drop by Yubenco to stock on house necessities. The first time I went grocery, I cried. Really cried. I find it really hard to part with hard-earned cash. What hurts more is when you see your week's supply of food disappear in a matter of days.
Anyhow, my grocery list is usually this:
2 packs of biscuits, one with filling, one plain
1 pack of Iced Tea (I went for 1L of C2 once. I finished the entire bottle in one sitting)
2 bars of detergent
1 pack of dishwashing liquid thingies
1 tube of toothpaste
8 sachets of shampoo
1 bottle of soy sauce
1 bottle of vinegar
I box of milk for mama
2 cans of tuna (for emergencies)
Other personal stuff
PERSONAL necessities
1 Piattos
1 Nova
2 Maggi Curry or 2 Pancit Canton
HOW WE SPEND 'EM
Except for the Iced Tea, chips, maggi curry and pancit canton (touch any of these, and there will be hell), everything else is fair game. And everything else is gone by the end of the week.
I dunno, but I'm always hungry at home. Must be the Divisoria air :D

MT Classes
Just lazy. I'm really behind my schedule for the Medical Transcription training. At least, that's what my instructor told me last night. I must be, if she managed to recognize me. I mean, I've never talked to her, as far as I can remember.
HER: (cephalocaudal stare) You're really behind. What voice file are you working on?
ME: Yeah. I'm doing Southiere.
HER: Nah, everyone else is with Sawnhey.
ME: Yeah, I know.
So, in order to finish in time and to avoid further embarrassment with the establishment, I shall now work like a maniac. I'll go in at both 8 am and 5 pm sessions to do 6 voice files a day.
Hopefully, I'll catch up with the rest of the pack by then. That is, if my brains won't fry from the radiation first.

Relaxation techniques
Mom told me off again for watching fansubs. She says reading subtitles while watching anime shows strains my eyes.
Mom tells me off for reading books. She says reading books strains my eyes.
She says I need to do something to relax my eyes and my mind.
I tell her that watching anime and reading does relax me.
She tells me that it doesn't.
Everybody is a critic.
