Too big for words [Dyan L. @ LJ]

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 06:51:11 GMT

Johnny's Entertainment has always produced talents who are heavily used by several large television stations in Japan. As a guaranteed secret weapon to boost ratings, many members have taken part in one drama after another. Based on ratings from last year's dramas, fans have crowned Kimura Takuya as the ratings king in all of Johnny's. Kimura's Mr. Brain earned the highest average ratings at 20.5%. Second place went to Kusanagi Tsuyoshi for his role in Ninkyo Helper at 15%, while third went to Ikuta Toma's Voice at 14.6%.

However, it seems that not all Johnny's can produce the same results. KAT-TUN's Kamenashi Kazuya's Kami no Shizuku had the worst results, reaching only 6.08% ratings. Even his guest appearance in the third episode of Mr. Brain was the lowest recorded episode, at only 16.3%. No wonder he's known for pulling down ratings.

Oh, Christmas Vacation!

A good night's rest :) Yaaay.

One message received.

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:36:33 GMT

"I choose to love you in silence.
Because in silence, I find no rejection.
And in silence, no one owns you but me."

- It was a tad bit creepy message to receive. But it really tugged my heartstrings.

Shades of Red - Intro

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:18:55 GMT

I wanted to write again.

Because I think I'm a little rusty.

LOL.This was a little troublesome to write. If I ever finish this, this will be the longest thing I've ever written.

Shades of Red

Author’s Notes: The bold faced names indicate on whose perspective the scene takes place.

Prologue:

Scarlet: I must have the worst of luck tonight.

There are at least fifteen thousand streets in Manila. By some strange play of fate, I am placed here in a single alley in the midst of an unknown environment - a deviation to the usual course that I journey through each and every single day of my life.

I was lusting for a caffeine kick. The only solution to my coffee fixation is the convenience store several blocks away.

What an inconvenience.

***

Rouge: The dark sky was illuminated by the stutters of the stars and the almost non-existent brilliance of the moon. Hidden between the shadows of a huge dormitory and a nearly empty convenience store in the middle of an almost empty street, this little alley is a perfect spot for murder.

I watch from the darkness as a handful of people pass. The area for mistakes is limited – and I don’t intend to make any. An audience for this show is bothersome. When the street was finally empty, I grabbed the hilt from my pocket.

The blade glinted pale silver in the moonlight.

***

Scarlet: There was a sharp scream which disrupted the reigning silence. It was sharp and it stung. It kept on ringing like million ripples of echoes to my ear.

It bothered me.

With a quick gulp, I finished my coffee and rushed to what seems the source of the sound.

***

Rouge: I have done the deed with one swift blow. A cut deep down the throat works wonders. The little prey made its final pathetic attempt at salvation and wailed to the heavens.

I smirked at his feeble attempt. This marks perfection on my list.

Or so I thought.

Because when you've got no moolah, you watch dramas.

... YamaPi is so hot on Buzzer Beat.

I can't believe I am liking him more than Toma now.

*exhale*

For my nonexistent lovelife.

"Every atom of me missed him."

Of mangas and lame excuses people give

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:12:22 GMT

Apparently, aside from the toxic college stuffs - I still have the luxury to read books and mangas.

Of the 50+ GB of Manga in my hard disk - I think Kare Kano is still the best.

And who doesn't get sick of smut? Smut is weird. Heck, even shoujo is getting old. Give me something good to read. (I prefer Fiction - but heck, I despise textbooks, photocopied handouts, notes, test papers, test scores...never mind.)

**

Lame excuse:

"Busy ako."

This excuse is so abused. It's a lame escape for people who doesn't want to care. Call me the mother of all hasty generalizations or whatever fallacies - I don't care. Anyway, I'm too busy.

The addage, "When there's a will, there's a way..", has been rotting and depreciating like a single piece of wisdom that no one seems to be bothered with.

Seriously though, when you really want to do something.. You'll trash every piece of shit that makes you busy - and do what you really want to do.

And, yes I know of priorities - but, all priorities can be set aside for a while. It's not like your brain cells are going to sleep forever when you do things that you don't prioritize.

And me? I love doing things that make no sense - just like that.

~~

You know pressure? It is the feeling of being dragged to your saturation point. You have no other option but to move forward - and do whatever you can.

Some works best under pressure, some don't. Some cringe at the slightest weight of responsibility.

Me? I am a person of tolerance. But, now is different. I can handle road splits, road accidents and whatever. But I'm deathly afraid of bridges. (And yes, I am talking in allegories.) Because when you are crossing a bridge - at some point in time, you'll succumb to fear - and haste your way to the other end.

Somehow, you'll end up missing some of the scenes. Whatever scene that is.

My goal in life - is to cross those bridges - in my own pace. No matter how long it takes.

Clamp finally ends TSUBASA! And I'm confused.

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:41:15 GMT

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (finally...) ends at Chapter 232. I'm confused more than ever. Nothing made me more confused than this. Not even advanced accounting, not even Sir Bobadilla, not even Maam SA, not even Papa P.

I'd be happy to see CLAMP with a happy ending - and a less confusing storyline.

If anyone can explain to me the whole manga... you'll make me happy. Hahahaha.

Something to look forward to..

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Loveless

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 14:03:34 GMT

Loveless - Prologue

When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky

Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Loveless - Act I

         Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
            We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
             Ripples form on the water’s surface
               The wandering soul knows no rest

Loveless - Act II

                   There is no hate, only joy
               For you are beloved by the goddess
               Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

          Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
                         Pride is lost
             Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Loveless - Act III

               My friend, do you fly away now?
              To a world that abhors you and I?
            All that awaits you is a somber morrow
             No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Loveless - Act IV

                My friend, the fates are cruel
             There are no dreams, no honor remains
           The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

               My soul, corrupted by vengeance
    Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
                    In my own salvation
                  And your eternal slumber

                       Legend shall speak
                  Of sacrifice at world’s end
            The wind sails over the water’s surface
                      Quietly, but surely

Loveless - Act V

            Even if the morrow is barren of promises
               Nothing shall forestall my return
            To become the dew that quenches the land
             To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
               I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 06:34:22 GMT

Yamapi, you so hot here.

One word to sum up one week.

Stress.

~~Gah, I hate my life now. Kilmenaoplz.exams are hell.Fuck you. Fuck you.~~

Hell no!

Whoever brought the sudden fame of Wondergirls' "Nobody" in the Philippine TV Mainstream should be dead. I love Wondergirls to bit and seeing my super jologs countrymen imitate them is depressing.

If I see people suddenly donning Korean looks now, I'll puke. Seriously.

Almost dead!

Being the accident magnet that I am, I created the biggest ruckus on España today. Hello world.

On my way home, after eating my meal with my spontaneous lunch buddies for the day - Riel, Norwin and Erik - (yes, all boys. LOL. Or... not.) the rain wanted to be a shit and poured heavilly.

Not wanting to be stranded in a flooded, filthy España Avenue, I immediately rode the nearest Jeepney. And when we arrived at my stop - I went down.

Down. In the middle of the road. My head splunked on a light post + my body lying in the middle of the road inches away from a rummaging bus on a emergency break.

Gah, I was left only with a few bruises and an embarassing memory.

Thank God.

Now I need to study - I have remarkable Advance Accounting Grades.

Me + Manga = Happiness

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:43:24 GMT

I. Manga + Me = Happiness

Lord, if only one of these bishounens that I'm fangirling now could come alive for me. I'll gladly marry them. Hello, Cinderella Complex + SMUT. hahahaha.

II. OLD

Who knows how much is too much? My life must have been so dull now that I lack a saturation point. I have a major Peter Pan Complex now - it's like time is draining away so fast. Gah, I feel so old. I feel so old. OLD OLD OLD.

III. Facebook

Look here, Facebook made me neglect my Friendster, Multiply, LJ, DeviantArt accounts. That was like a major achievement. Who knew flash games could be so addictive?

IV. Review

Hey, I'm taking my CPA board on October 2010 - but I have to reserve for review classes this early. Like I said a few paragraphs before, I feel so old.

First Quiz Week - people are getting sick (presumably - because of me, I'm so sorry!!!!) and I am not even studying.

I watched Bleach and I am finishing Code Geass. What on earth am I going to do in the College of Accountancy...

Gah, I'm so lazy. Blahblahblah.

and suddenly...

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:23:45 GMT

KARAOKE!

Since being the spendthrift the I naturally am - me, Katrina, Joy and Riel ate at a Japanese Restaurant, sang Japanese songs (with my nonexistent and Katrina's rusting Japanese reading skills), watched a supposedly horror film, ate ice cream, played at the arcades....

which eventually left me with an empty wallet.

Anyway, my point is - Kumyoung Karaoke machine (the ones used in Timezone) has a selection for Japanese songs.

Don't dare ask. I bite. I really do.

I don't make sense, do I?

Monica is threading on a long road. She can't afford delays - she is, after all, chasing for dreams within the boundaries of time.

Oh God. I'm tired.

There's always something awful on getting sick. Like how you are always on the constant search for tissues and all.

I am spending lunch with Katrina and Joy lately, that turned out really well. They actually can mingle and mix well. Lunch time, actually, is a breather in the long hours that Integrated Accounting demands. I am learning, through hook and crook, Discipline. Something I should have tried to learn a few years back.

Last day on May 20th. May 23rd StarCity. We're finally having a vacation.

Sorry for the lack of consistency. That's something I must learn as well.

An Update

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 15:24:17 GMT

My whole college life is hanging by a thread. I've been spamming heaven with St. Jude's Novena for hopeless cases - precisely like what I did last semester and the semester before that...and a whole lot of semesters before that.

And no, I'm not at the risk of debarment. Just one subject. Just one subject. Financial Accounting. Mula noon, hanggang ngayon - ikaw pa rin.

I've been enjoying Arashi because of AnS. Sho is so cute.

Currently, I'm on the verge of watching Soul Eater. It looks rather promising.

And my life finally settled down, life without bullshit is heaven.

And caffeine, I think, does not work on me anymore.

Oh, and I had another haircut - I had to fix that freaky Korean bangs. So there. God, stop me from cutting my hair.

OH AND I WILL GO TO MACAU AND HONGKONG ON FRIDAY.
(Yay. This be my 2nd HK trip.)

(LOL Korean bangs + korean peace sign)

Please stop doing things that make me swoon. I often forget about boundaries and limitations and I tend to overanalyze things.

You're not exactly helping me meet deadlines or pass quizzes but at least thinking about it keeps me awake in class.

But you know, I think I couldn't stand another heartbreak. Stop being so kind.
