Rising from the Ashes

I've got nothing to post but a meme

2009-01-29T13:56:22Z

Or two.

First one is from juventina2509.
Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

I got T. So... *thinks and looks around*
(1) Teddy Bears. 'Cause I like squishy things.
(2) Time Lag. One of my favorite BL manga, LOL.
(3) Television. I actually spent a lot of my childhood being a couch potato.
(4) T-shirts. I find them really comfortable. I wear shirts almost everyday.
(5) Tests. Not the ones from school. Just IQ tests, or personality quizzes... I enjoy doing those.
(6) Tiramisu. Because it tastes good.
(7) Ties. As in neckties. I think they look cool.
(8) Travel. I like going to different places. I just wish I had more time (and money) to go anywhere I want to.
(9) Toothbrush. I love that fresh feeling after brushing my teeth.
(10) Trinkets. I'm the type of person that collects all these useless stuff just because I like them.

Whew. That was... pretty hard. Or maybe I'm just tired, haha.
If you want to do this meme too, just tell me and I'll give you a letter.

And here's one more from kimkhanh.
Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real . . . nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your name for the boy/girl name question.

(1) What is your name: Ash
(2) A four letter word: Ally
(3) A boy's name: Alfred
(4) A girl's name: Anne
(5) An occupation: Archaeologist
(6) A color: Aqua Blue
(7) Something you wear: Armor
(8) ...apparently, there's no number 8.
(9) A food: Adobo (so yummy~)
(10) Something found in the bathroom: Astringent
(11) A place: Antipolo (my hometown~)
(12) A reason for being late: Alarm clock did not work
(13) Something you shout: Aaaaahhhhh~
(14) A movie title: Aladdin
(15) Something you drink: Apple Juice
(16) A musical group: APO Hiking Society
(17) An animal: Ant
(18) A street name: Aurora Boulevard
(19) A type of car: Uhh... type? Like an art car? Or an Aston Martin?
(20) The title of a song: Ang Huling El Bimbo

That's it. LOL.

Happy Meme #5

2008-12-09T16:12:02Z

It's getting closer to the end of this week-long meme!

For today, I'm happy because...

...we got dismissed early in my last period.

My professor was sleepy and wanted to go home already. LOL, did she just bore herself to sleep?

Which is completely fine with me, as long as it does not happen too often, or else I might not learn anything at all.

So I got to leave school an hour earlier, and missed heavy traffic due to the evening rush. Yay!

Happy Meme #4

2008-12-08T16:44:39Z

Today, I had...

a KFC Snackbox.

Okay, so there were just Hot Shots and fries inside...

...but I love KFC. Their chicken (and gravy) is tasty.

Happy Meme #3

2008-12-07T16:30:32Z

Okay, I almost forgot to do this. Again.

I guess most Filipinos are happy about this like I am.

PACQUIAO WON THE FIGHT.

Yay.

The news report says that there was zero crime rate again during the airing of the match. Amazing, huh? I'm now wondering if that's really true or if they're just making it up. And is crime rate in the Philippines so high that zero crime rate for a few hours is already a big achievement? That's even more amazing.

But hey, this is supposed to be a happy post.

Pacman won, yay.

But my dad wasn't able to watch it 'cause he believed this stupid thing my brother said about it being aired here in the evening instead of the afternoon. Tsk tsk. Sorry, dad. I thought you were watching it at Kuya's place so I didn't record it for you.

Happy Meme #2

2008-12-06T17:36:41Z

Oops... almost forgot to do this! LOL.

Something that made me happy today...

Code Geass R2 Sound Episode 6 Track 2: Rururu Goukon Rhapsody.

It's so full of crack. Well, the sound episodes usually are, come to think of it. I used to think that nothing would beat Lelouch using Geass on his own seiyuu, but this is the best so far (for me, of course).

A summary can be found here, if you're interested.

My favorite parts: Rolo calling Lloyd the "hentai megane"; Lelouch Geass-ing everyone into loving him (and dying for him); Jeremiah cancelling the Geass; Rolo (unintentionally) choosing Suzaku and Lelouch to play the Kari Kari Chu Chu Game; THE KISS; and Rolo's scream of despair.

Uh, okay, this is getting too long. Sorry. But it really made me happy! *grins*

Shipping meme

2008-10-02T17:41:14Z

Got it from juventina2509.

1. List your top seven ships.
2. Put all of them in order of your love for them; 7 to 1, 1 being your favorite.
3. Name their fandom.
4. Supply photos for said people.
5. Tag seven people.

I had a really hard time with this, so I decided to put some restrictions on myself. Anime and manga series only; one pair per series (with one exception since it involves a crossover series, yet I can't choose between the two); BL series not included to make it more fun. And by BL, I mean series that are really under that genre (even though BL elements are heavily implied, if it's not BL, then it's not). You don't have to do it that way though, haha. I just wanted to.

#7 SANZO x GOKU (Saiyuki)

#6 RIFF x CAIN (Count Cain, Godchild)

#5 JUBEI x KAZUKI (GetBackers)

#4 TOUYA x YUKITO (Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)

#3 SUZAKU x LELOUCH (Code Geass)

#2 TEZUKA x FUJI (Prince of Tennis)

#1 SEISHIROU x SUBARU (Tokyo Babylon, X, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)

.

So... can I just tag everyone who wants to?

Fanfiction

2008-07-27T17:11:04Z

To my F-list:

If it's not too much trouble, please take the time to read this Prince of Tennis fanfic that a1y_puff wrote from my prompt in cactuscontinuum . If you like anime, manga, BL, fanfiction, Prince of Tennis, TezuFuji... even just one of those, go ahead and check it out! I think it is really good and worth reading.

Thank you!

Another meme, yay.

2008-07-21T07:36:03Z

I've been posting nothing but memes, ne? Guess I'm just too lazy to write about life.

Tagged by a1y_puff!

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

01. How has LJ changed your life?
Helped me a lot in my fandoms.

02. What's one thing you can't go to bed without doing?
Brushing my teeth. Seriously.

03. What did you have for dinner last night?
Uhh... chicken. Tinolang manok, to be precise, but I don't know the English term for tinola. But manok is chicken.

04. What is the city of your dreams and why?
I don't have one.

05. Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Introvert.

06. What do you do in your free time?
Watch DVDs, read books, surf the internet... basically things that don't need much physical efforts.

07. Do you trust easily?
Not really.

08. What personal belonging do you have with you everywhere you go?
My mp3 player. I've actually left my cellphone and wallet (this was a disaster) before, but never my mp3 player.

09. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
I don't think so. I usually take things in stride.

10. What is your best quality?
Ehh... do I have one? I don't know. I don't dwell on things too much <--- is this even a good one?

11. Is being tagged fun?
Yep.

12. How do you see yourself?
A human being. At least, I think I'm one.

13. Who are currently the most important people to you?
My parents.

14. Tell me something about the person who tagged you?
a1y_puff - one of the best TezuFuji fanfic writers ever. She does great fanart too!! And a really nice person... a bonus, ne?

15. Would you rather be single & rich or married but poor?
I think I'd go for the first option. Though I've never been "in love", so I'm not sure if I'm in a position to answer this. Maybe my answer will change if I meet "the one"? LOL.

16. How many children do you want to have, if any?
Ah. I've never really thought about it... I don't really care for the number, just not more than five. And all boys, if possible.

17. What's better to give or to receive?
Well, it's morally better to give, but I like receiving more.

18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
The one who likes me too, and would want to be with me. If they both do, then whoa.

19. Would you have 100% safe sex with a stranger for $10,000,000?
ROFL. I might be tempted to, but I don't think I'd actually go through with it. That's just... LOL.

20. What were your parents going to name you if you'd been born the opposite gender?
George.

21. Which celebrity would you like to meet and why?
Aiba Hiroki. Because he is so much love. (But I'd like to see Masa and Baba too.)

22. What will your dream wedding be like?
I don't have one.

23. What's the first thing you notice in people?
How they look.

Since my f-list is quite short, I think it'd be kinda useless to tag. So whoever hasn't been tagged yet... you know the rest. v(^-^)v

Meme

2008-06-06T11:52:36Z

Got it from a1y_puff .

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post that to your journal with these instructions.

I got "K".

(1) Kaidoku Funou - second OP theme of Code Geass. It's pretty cool, though I liked the first one (Colors by FLOW) better.

(2) Kaze no Tabibito, K&S version - a Tezuka and Fuji duet, although Fuji seemed more like a back-up, lol. But it's still TezuFuji, so many points for that. And the song itself is good, by the way.

(3) Kimi Hana - OP theme of Junjou Romantica. It's really nice, and I think it was a good choice for the anime. They "feel" the same.

(4) Kizuna - insert theme of Gokusen live action 2. I never really liked Kamenashi Kazuya (the singer), but I must admit that the song sounds okay. More than okay, actually.

(5) Koko de Bokura wa Deatte Shimatta - another TezuFuji song. Hey, they both start with "K"! Is this a sign of Tezuka's dominance? Lol, just kidding. This is a nice song too, and more like a duet than the other one.

I've uploaded them to MF/SF, so if you haven't heard any of them and would like to try, go ahead!

LJ Strike?

2008-03-20T06:10:21Z

Eh? I didn't know about this... and it's on for tomorrow?

I don't know much about what's happening (yeah, poor me), but I'm gonna post this anyway.

For more info, see http://yuriko-yakuza.livejournal.com/30833.html

I think it's mainly about free accounts being unavailable for new users. Hmmm.

Musings on different things

2007-10-09T10:39:26Z

I don't post often, but I'm in the mood right now, so beware of mindless ramblings!

Ahhh~ it's so difficult being in college! The university I'm in is considered the best in our country... but I had no idea it was this hard to survive! I'm already in my third year, but graduating seems to be sooooo far off...

I don't think the course I'm currently taking is the right one for me. I'm now regretting that I didn't think about it hard enough before I took the entrance exams. I want to shift to another course, but what?? Gah, I'm so indecisive. This isn't good. At this rate, it might take me forever to finish my studies.

Sembreak is nearing... maybe some rest and relaxation, even for just a few weeks, will help me clear my mind. I hope.

So... the 4th Seigaku Cast has been introduced!

Aiba... Aiba... I'll really miss his Fuji. Oh well, I'm sure I'll be able to get over my almost-unhealthy over-admiration for Aiba Hiroki. The next Fuji better be good!

Speaking of the next Fuji, he doesn't look bad at all. I saw his profile and was a bit shocked when I noticed he was 181 cm, but then again, Aiba isn't exactly short. Kimeru was waaaay too short - even shorter than Yanagi or Endou, who both played Echizen during his time. Maybe it would be alright if the rest of the cast are tall too, so Fuji won't look like a tower.

Ah, and since I've already mentioned Echizen... the kid who's gonna play him is just so cute! I'm glad. Echizen's actually my favorite character. But the kid looks too nice - I see no traces of smugness. Maybe he'll develop it over time, hopefully in time for the next myu.

I've noticed that a lot of people are mourning over Kiriyama Renn's non-participation in HigaMyu. I'm not exactly a fan of his (or Marui), but I find it weird that he's the only one missing from Rikkai. Ah, but as long as D1's still there, everything's all right~

And Irei's a guest? Ahhh... he was not in Rikkai 2nd Service, if I remember correctly. So he's back now? Gah. Sorry, I don't really like him - I wonder why? Such a shame, 'coz I like Saeki. Yeah, I'm a confused person.

And now... I have to go back to studying for my final exams...

2007-09-11T17:26:48Z

8. WITNESS PROTECTION NAME:

=== Miller

9. GOTH NAME:

New to LJ

2007-05-22T05:16:05Z

Whew! finally got myself an LJ account! Seems like forever since I wanted to, but it's only now that I found time to actually do so... yay!

Type your cut contents here.

I'm really excited to meet new people, join communities and stuff like that! It would be fun to talk about my interests with people who share them.

Right now, I'm really into Tenimyu. Since I'm not from Japan, it's kind of hard for me to find stuff about it, but while surfing around I found out that a lot of Tenimyu fans are from LJ, so I thought, hey, why not make an account there too? Maybe we could share stuff with each other!

Well, I really hope to make some friends soon! Good luck to me!
