You are
Chichiri
He's the character that everybody can identify with. First of all, we all want to be as capable and responsible as he is. Secondly, we all see that mask and think, "Wow. He's hiding his true feelings! I do that, too!" But what is the mask really hiding? Is it overwhelming angst? Or is it just... passion that threatens his self-control?

Hi Chichiri!
The only American rice that I like was went I ate at Bubba Gump. The rice that came with my meal wasn't exactly like the typical white rice that we eat, but at least it didn't have a weird taste and the sauce that came with my fish, blended nicely with the rice. Yum!
Different places make their jambalaya different, but it's kinda like a southern version of fried rice, but more "wet" if that makes much sense and usually kinda spicy. That's just my definition of it so don't take it to heart, haha. This one restaurant that I went to in Las Vegas made their jambalaya different. Instead of cooking all of the ingredients together with the rice, they cooked the ingredients and then served it separately with white rice.
Really? Shakey's is expensive there in PI? I never really thought much about it back then, I guess 'cuz my mom and my aunts were always paying for everything, haha. You're surprised that I like Filipino spaghetti? I love the sweetness of it (as long as it isn't too sweet). I love tomato sauce and all, but sometimes it tastes "too tomato-y" if that makes much sense. Sweet spaghetti just makes me wanna gobble it up more, haha. Wow, now you're making me crave spaghetti!
I think that they should organize the comics in bookstores this way: 1 section dedicated to DC/Marvel comics type of stuff, next to it, you have Graphic Novels (everything else that's not manga and not your typical superhero comics either) and then next to it you have Manga/Manhwa/Manhua. I'll admit, I sometimes look through the DC/Marvel stuff and other graphic novels just for curiousity but most of them don't really appeal to me. I see no point in mixing graphic novels with actual manga. If manga readers want to check out American comics, they can just go to that section instead of trying to shelve that stuff in the manga section where it doesn't belong.
The only thing annoying (it's actually kinda funny sometimes) is that I get carded in Las Vegas everywhere that I go. It's "Sin City" so there are casinos, bars and clubs everywhere. I don't really do any of that stuff, but still, if you just walk by, some of the security guards look at me like I'm some teen trying to sneak in, haha.
Don't worry, I won't spoil anything about Basara to you, but volumes 26 and 27 are definitely worth the read even though the main story ends in volume 25. There are various short stories about the characters' pasts before they meet Tatara/Sarasa and also their futures (what happened to them after the events of volume 25). Definitely fulfilling.
Basara volume 20 is really hard to get! It was so frustrating because I tried like 4 different places that had it "in stock" only to find out later that they really didn't have it! Talk about false advertisement! I gave up and decided to snatch the Japanese version before that gets too hard to find. My advice is to only buy manga from well known places like Ebay, Amazon, Rightstuf and Just Manga.
Other places just give you a hassle with their false advertisements and stuff. You don't know how many times I had to ask for a refund. So yeah, if you ever think about ordering anything online, feel free to check with me first. The bad thing about ordering online is sometimes the customer service and of course the occassional bootlegs >_<
Oh yeah, I dropped W-Juliet 'cuz I couldn't get into the story. The gender bending was really cliche and everything moved kinda fast with weird/boring dialog, etc. I don't really like dropping stuff, but it's too long of a series for me to try to complete and it's not even that good = (

I'm back! Actually, I've been back for a while now, but this was the first time I logged onto MAL. Thanks for the, "Bon Voyage", I had a wonderful and safe time on my romantic getaway. We went to Tijuana (Mexico), it was quite the warm – not so much tropical place, but I'm glad that you were partially correct in your guess. During the summer, I wanted to go to Cancún (also in Mexico) for a couple of weeks, but there were some unexpected expenses this year and I couldn't go. So, my girlfriend thought it would be nice to take me on that Mexican vacation.
Ah, I finally figured out the reason why the manga that I wanted to purchase was delayed – apparently, the publishing company decided to drop the series! I had no idea and neither did the manga store I purchase the manga, until the proprietor researched it for me. Now, I don't know what to do – I have already collected twelve volumes of the series and I don't know what to do with them. This is the first time it happened to me. Hopefully, another publishing company would pick it up from where the former publishing company left off.
My twin brother wasn't really jealous about me skipping a year of high school. I quite think he enjoyed his high school life. What was hard on us was being away from each other for a very long time. We have been close since the womb and the longest we have been apart was a summer, but being away for about eight months of the year is something different entirely. When my twin brother matriculated into university, he understood why I wanted to graduate early.
My family is English – and one of the things synonymous with England is tea. It is rather unpatriotic of me not to drink as much tea as possible, because it literally runs in our veins. I don't know why the English looks down on coffee, but I quite like both, but I'm rather synonymous with coffee and chocolate – at least to my mates! XD I haven't had chocolate milk since I was a kid, but I have been known to partake in having a hot chocolate with tonnes of marshmallow when the weather turns cold.
I'm glad that you are getting used to your job, hopefully you'll grow to love it or at least find something that you would love to do with your life. Speaking of life, in the grand scheme of things two years may not seem like a lot, but when you are younger it seems like eons. I mean when you were sixteen would you go out with a fourteen-year-old? However, the older you get, it is more acceptable. I mean no one bats an eyelash when a twenty-five year old dates a twenty-three year old.
In any case, I hope that you have a wonderful day and that this post would find you well. Take care and I hope to hear from you soon. =)

I didn't read the books because they were about vampires. xP I don't like vampires. But, it had a lot of attention and my friend was kinda forcing me, so I read them. It's a lot cooler than I thought it'd be. It's not just some stupid vampire story like everyone thinks. :P
Yeah, bike riding is fun. It's a whole new experience for me. ^_^ I'm pretty bad at it though. I keep crashing into mailboxes and cars. o_o lol My little buddy Matt helped me. He's a neighborhood kid who's in sixth grade. A lot of my friends are younger than me. xP
Oh, something else that's cool: I'm watching anime again. :D I'm doing the whole torrenting thingy. lol A good friend of mine helped me. ^_^

Hi Chichiri!
Ah yes, eating healthy is good, though it's ok to have cravings for sweets every now and then (we're all human after all). Just don't eat too much of them, haha.
Yup! Us Asians love our fluffy white rice! I don't know why, but it seems that whenever I eat at American restaurants and they have a meal with rice on the side, it always tastes different, like not your typical white rice. No offense, but I usually don't like it. It's like they tried to add "flavor" to it or something but it just tastes weird. I do like Spanish rice and Jambalaya though.
I've never been to Little Caesar's in PI, but last time I was there, we would always eat at Shakey's and of course Jollie Bee. It was almost always spaghetti or fried chicken with rice, haha. YUM!
I have no problem with Tokyopop doing OEL manga as long as it sells, but from what I have been hearing, it hasn't and they've just been trying to shove that stuff in people's faces. Like recently they've decided to do manga about Star Trek. I don't think that Star Trek fans really read comics, and even if they did, wouldn't they be more of the comic/graphic novel crowd? Why would they market it as "manga"? It doesn't make any sense. Tokyopop needs to stop using the term "manga" so lightly.
I also think that Tokyopop should have higher standards for the OEL artists that they pick as well. In Japan, many new mangaka were previously assistants of other more experienced (and famous) mangaka, that's why their work is usually not as "amateurish". They've also started out by publishing oneshots in magazines. New artists here, don't necessarily get that kind of opportunity/exposure.
I think that Viz and Del Rey are doing great. Viz has most of the popular (and cheap) titles from Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat and people are always praising Del Rey for their quality, etc.
Oh yeah, don't read any info about Tsubasa online! Knowing you, you might get spoiled again. LOL.
I ordered the Japanese version of Bassara volume 20 so it's taking a long time since it's from Japan. It should come either this week or next week.
Oh yeah, Las Vegas is a really nice place. I like how every building has it's own theme. Like New York New York is a replica of New York and The Paris is a replica of Paris. When you go inside, they make a lot of the interior look and feel like you're "outside" but you're really inside. The ceiling is either a day sky or a night sky.
When I went up the Eiffel Tower replica, I got to see an overview of the entire town. It was beautiful but also scary when you look down.
I just recently finished all 27 volumes of Basara. I'll tell you about it next time = )

Magandang umaga, Chichiri!
Wow, that's a healthy diet! Yup, me too, I eat rice less now that I'm older. Mainly 'cuz I love the meat and vegetables in dishes and so I realized that I can eat a lot more if I don't eat rice or eat less of rice. Same with soda. I get full less and can eat more if I don't drink soda and drink something lighter like water. That's usually my strategy when I'm at a buffet, I always limit my carbs and just drink water. That way I can have more of the good stuff, haha.
That sucks that you had a bad experience with Papa John's. Sometimes I would get pizza there, but we've never ordered delivery from there before. It's probably the fault of the person who took your older. Maybe the person never really took it and so when you called again later, that person was off shift already or something, LOL.
Once at Little Caesar's, my bf went to go pick up the pizza that he ordered in store and the cashier who he talked to earlier, wasn't there anymore (she never gave him a receipt either) so the new cashier was all doubting his order. My bf was all worried that we wouldn't get our pizza (which we had already paid for), but then one of the cooks in the back recognized him and remembered his order from earlier, so we finally got our pizza.
Good thing! I was afraid that they'd keep our money but never give our pizza, LOL.
Oh yeah, the problem that Tokyopop has been having is that their sales haven't been doing too well so they're delaying a lot of their releases and cancelling some others. I think that the 12 Kingdoms novels was one of the ones that they've decided not to continue 'cuz I haven't heard a release date for the 3rd book since and it's been months already. I'd wait until they actually release the 3rd book to be sure if they'd dropped it or not.
Tokyopop is kinda dumb now in my opinion. A lot of people think that they're doing bad 'cuz now they put out too much of their Original English Language (OEL) manga that most people don't really care about and focus too much advertising on stuff like Princess Ai. It doesn't make any sense too, 'cuz after delaying and cancelling some stuff, they license some more new series on top of that!
What the heck?! I thought that they were doing really bad and they're still going to license more stuff? They should just minimize or get rid of their OEL/American manga and focus on the good stuff that sells! I feel like they're trying to dig their own hole.
Oh yeah, I'm glad that you're enjoying Tsubasa so far. Just thought I'd warn you that in the later volumes, it does get confusing with all of the revelations that Clamp keeps writing into the story, but usually if you read through it slowly or go back and re-read it, you can usually figure it out that way.
Oh and you'll find out more about each of the main characters' backgrounds as the story goes on as well. I like both Kurogane and Fai and I think that their pasts are the most interesting (you'll see later).
