So, I am an avid Bibliophile, so since I want to keep track of my book releases, I thought I'd just do it here.

Anime Relations: Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.

I am absolutely and irrevocably in love with this anime.

NO, this is not a review, I just wanna let my feelings out for this anime, so I will be talking in a subjective manner.

It's ridiculously long name intrigued me, so I was instantly, say, drawn to it. Then suddenly I see outstanding reviews, a number of fans, etc. And so I read the plot. When they said "dead best friend drifted them apart," I was automatically reminded of one of my favorite shows Pretty Little Liars. However, in sharp contrast, the dead best friend drew them together. Going back to the topic; I haven't watched an anime in God knows how long (which explains the reason I am watching 5-6 animes at the same time), so I thought why not. And one of my favorite seiyuus, Takahiro Sakurai-san, was there. So I watched the first few episodes.

And I fell in love.

First of all, the characters were quite interesting. Tsuruko's tsundere-ness, Yukiatsu's poise, Menma's childishness, etc. And the parody names of products are just HILARIOUS. When it comes to shows, I usually like Drama and Romance, in where this series has Tragedy, the two integrated (though more of the former, I should say). And most anime I like are Slice of Life, since I like slow paces.

I could continue my ranting, but I have decided.

No words can describe my love for this.



I'm overreacting, aren't I?

It's the first day of school, and I had a pretty nice time. I saw the class list a few weeks back, and was absolutely ecstatic. All of my friends were there, with the exception of two (who are in the neighboring classroom, mind you.)

I'm in the sixth grade, and the school abruptly changed their grade leveling. We have seventh grade (which is not so common within Philippine education; it's only up to sixth.) which means I should be graduating elementary next year. What they did is they're going to make two batches graduate this year: the sixth and the seventh. That's a HUGE graduating batch. After that, they'll add a fifth year in High School.

WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM.

This is why I'm transferring to another school for High School. My top choice would be the Philippine High School for the Arts, but it's too far. Then next would be Philippine Science, which is too far as well. And I'm only 13 by that time, so I don't think I can live alone.

(Oh, and the reason why they're doing this is because the Department of Education added two years to education in the Philippines because we were not accepted in some colleges in America and in Europe due to the lack of years.)

So, uhm, yeah. After a year of inactivity. I went through my profile, and I was embarrassed as hell. Every word that came out of my mouth had Taylor Swift in it. And I always thought that everyone looked through my profile. What vanity.

Maybe I still carry that trait now, as I am typing thinking that the entire MAL Universe would read this. I am such a bitch.

Currently though, I am trying to learn Japanese, I am in love with Vocaloid, (but most of my love goes to Luka and the Kagamines), still in love with Taylor Swift, and have upgraded to using a Mac. I`m slowly becoming a basketball enthusiast, and am a HUGE fan of the Dallas Mavericks (I love you Dirk. <3). And mostly interested in Yaoi, Yuri and Incest animes. I don`t know why. Maybe because they redefine love? I have also become an Anglophile, and my British Accent is almost there. I memorize the Royal Family starting from HM King George the VI and his descendants. And that`s it.
