Memories of Nobody

Ever had that one moment when you are trying hard to remember something but nothing comes around? I too had one of those moments.

Just todayI've finished watching my first (ever) Bleach movie. You know Bleach, that teenage dude named Kurosaki Ichigo who became a Shinigami (Death God/Soul Reaper).

Ichigo in Shinigami form and Kon, the artificial soul that takes over the body when one because a shinigami.

Okay, so much for telling 'cause I know most of you guys know who he is. Okay so, the movie was titled Bleach: Memories of Nobody. It was released in 2006 an animated film adaptation of the anime and manga series Bleach.

Movie cover page.

I got my copy big thanks to the I.T guy who downloaded it for me 'cause I can't download and 'cause my computer is playin stupid again. LOL okay, so the story was about the revenge of the Dark Ones against the Soul Society.

 The Dark Ones are a clan of Shinigami that were exiled over 1000 years ago.

Okay I know that you are getting curious about the story but that I leave it for you guys to find out. Haha! But here's some sneak peek for you guys.

If you can find a dubbed copy better but if you found a Japanese audio sub-titles it's okay too. I got kinda disappointment because the voices of the characters were changed. But still it's a nice movie, I tell you. :) It's a must watch if you like Bleach like I do.

You got any movies to share? Please do share. Thank you. :)

Pass Break

As you all know, I am super crazy about cartoons, anime call it whatever you like. And recently too, I got so hooked up reading Japanese comic books called "Manga". And maybe later on Korean "Manhwa" too. LOL

The katakana for "manga".

Both manga and manhwa are collections of comic books of all kinds of genres. Honestly, I never liked reading before though I kinda owe a huge amount of books. As I've mention a while ago, I just starting to read these because I am always bored out of my brains.

And sometime (well, most of the time) I am just glued to my chair, not talking to anybody, laughing alone like crazy; so yeah, one day I really got curious and started reading and it was sooooo addicting (I swear), that how I began reading these stuff. I read any kind of genre, action, drama, romance, horror, fantasy, comedy, name it baby, I read them ALL. Haha! But yes, one of my favorite include yaoi.LOL It's a boy's love in a boy-girl like relationship but they like fell in love with another boy and take note, not all the characters in a yaoi story are gay.

 Yaoi, it's like a boy's love. But it's way different from the regular bromance.

And as of now, I've probably read hundreds now, it became a new hobby and it also made me appreciate reading, I kinda learn somethings too.

And yes, it's true that it's not just anime, It's a way of life drama that we have here. And sometimes (what'da you mean sometimes?!) they tend to represent your feelings. OMG. You know what, at times I feel like these stuff really gets into your skin; like one time, I dreamed of being a ninja just like Uzumaki Naruto. Sounds insane right? Hahaha! But it really do happened to me.

And of course you read these stuff you also might want to watch it too right? Some are English dubbed but more of the are in Japanese audio and subbed titled, it's kinda frustrating for me 'cause I need to read and watch at the same time, so I decided that I will study Japanese language. See? Told you, it isn't just anime, it's a way of life too. LOL

Hey so you read manga too? Care to share?

Found a new hobby like me? What is it? Let me know. Big thanks. :)

Kill!

Sigh. What a boring day it is. Every time I wake up, asking myself if it's already Friday and and if it's not would make the most sourest (if that word ever exist) ever seen in the face of the earth.

 One thing's for sure, I'm not the type of person waking up in the morning that would be so worked up, but unless I know that I will be late for work. Sigh. And today is one hella've a dead day. I can't really be productive right now. I just wish that I'm at home watching TV.

 

Or better yet, be drunk like I've never been drunk before? Hmm? I kinda like that idea, don't you too? Hahaha!

Oh good Lord, please help me get by this day. Love, Sloth 

What about you guys, how do you kill boredom? Please help. LOL

Ladyboys

 Screw that 8 hours of sleep! Honestly, I barely get to achieve that kind of sleep. As you know, I work as and ESL tutor; I work from 2-11 in the evening (Manila time) and I get to go home around midnight and I swear, it's so hard to sleep at that time. So I waste my precious sleeping time watching T.V.

FYI: I am so good when it comes to surfing, channel surfing that is. LOL Every now and then I flip and flip and flip channels until I get what I wanted to watch. Most of the time, I end up watching cartoons ('cause I am a super big fan of it! *wink) but later than 1:30AM I get to watch shows like Jersey Shore, Ice Loves Coco, RuPaul's Drag Race, Keeping Up with the Kardashian and theit spin offs too, btw which are my favorites too! Haha! And lots more!

But out of all, RuPaul's Drag Race got my attention the most. Reading only it's name gives you an idea what the show is all about. But at first, I literally have no idea what the heck a drag queen was after the very first episode that I've watch. It was fun, I mean seriously? Guys in gowns and heavy make up? You've got to be kidding me now!

 RuPaul playing President Barak Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

I don't know anything about make ups and gowns or whatsoever but I do find them very interesting. From a grown ass man turned to a fine vavavoom woman? It's just awesome! And one good thing about the is you can you both pronouns he and she when talking about them. Here are some of my favorite drag queens, of course RuPaul is one of them but here are some more.

This is Yara Sofia in drag, Gabriel Ortiz. Puerto Rican drag queen.

Phi Phi O'Hara

D. J. Pierce better knows as the Afrian American drag queen named Shangela Laquifa Wadley.

My super favorite of all the drag queens in my life, Christopher Roman A.K.A Carmen Carrera. Isn't he so super gorgeous? *melt

Sutan Amrull, Raja or Raja Gemini is one of the smarted queen I've ever seen.

OMG. I swear, I am so proud to be a Filipino knowing that some brethren of mine shines in their chosen career. Drag queen Manila Luzon, Karl Westerberg.

Aren't the so amazing in may ways? Sigh. If only I have that kind of artistic creativity in me. Or maybe I do have one? Hmm? but you know what? Sometimes, I feel insecure knowing that they are more girlier (if there's a word like that) than me.  Oh yeah! Well, that's a wrap.

How about you? What's your favorite pass time?

A Taste of Korea

Hey. How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. Spend some quality time with my brothers and sisters. Honesty, we all have different lives, friends and interest now so we don't get to hang out that often. But over the weekend, I had the chance to sit back and relax with them.

Over the weekend, my phone reminder rang to remind me that my shopping card dues to get the points so I quickly pact and went out. I was with my younger brother and my other sister left to meet up with her best friend. I was just thinking that this would be a really quick errand but it turn to be more fun vat the end. After attending to some errand, I decided to ask my brother where he likes to eat, he mentioned a certain restaurant that we always eat but I don't feel like eating there and suggested that we try something different and we end up eating at Bon Chon.

 My little brother whom I named, Nikko. :)

 Long before I started working as an English Secondary Language tutor, I've been friends with Koreans that I often meet in church. The are so famous for their Kimchi, its fermented cabbage in pepper paste.

Okay, as I was saying; here are the goods that we ordered. Hope you like it too. And do try it as well. It was so stuffing, delicious and at a reasonable price too. :)

 I had this, Chop Rice box. Two pieces of chicken whether you like it in spicy or soy garlic. I'm so adventurous that I tried the spicy and it was SPICY! LOL And this comes with a drink, choose from soft drinks or iced tea at 145Php.

 One of my favorite is the Japchae, stir fried sweet potato noodles only at 75Php.

 Nikko had Crispy Squid Rice box 145Php

 My sister, Xhieng had Fish Rice box meal at 145Php

And for desert we tried the Ko-Yo, or the Korean Yorgurt. We picked these 'cause all of use had the spicy meals. Not only that it was good, it kills the heat as well.

 Blueberry Torte at 75Php

 Banoffee Pie at 75Php

 I had a great time hanging out with them, And we got super stuffed after.Nothing beats a good meal and a good relationship, Yes? :)

**NOTE: So sorry for the so low quality pictures, I took those using my Nokia E63.

Kicked Out!!

Today was suppose to be a very lazy day for me because it's Friday BUT it wasn't. I woke up around 9:30 in the morning then fire up my desktop computer 'cause I need to look at some videos in YouTube. Upon doing, my Mom who was taking a bath called out, asking me to shut the water outside the out and so I did it. And guess what? I was locked out of the house! Isn't it a stupid thing?! And guess who locked me out? It was my dog Cha-cha! Crazy mutt! 

She's the smartest local dog that I've ever had. I SWEAR!

I don't know when the hell did she learn how to open the gate but it was crazy I tell you. I was just talking how I adore my pets but this one, err! I am so pissed! I just woke up and here's my breakfast scene? Geezz. But it's cool, I was just laughing at myself for doing errands in a half awake state.

Ever had that kind of moment too? Care to share? Thanks! :)

Best Friend

I'm no pet enthusiast but I sure do like animals. When I was a kid, I lived with household pets, dogs, stray cats, and birds like doves, chicken. And if I remember it correctly, whenever I hang out with the grown-ups (back then) I use to play with farm animals. But my favorite would have to be dogs. :)

What are dogs for? I seriously treat my dogs as if they are my friends. I hang out with them, talk to them though they don’t really talk back but the warmth, love and the presence of course. There’s just something in them that when you like talk to them, they totally understand you.

Real buddies, Akamaru and Inuzuka Kiba

I have a dog(s) at home, one is Cha-cha. She’s just a local dog from Batangas, she replaced our 10 year old Japanese Spits, named Kitty who died just last year. Kitty was my best friend. I go home because of work and she just sits there, waiting or my arrival patiently. And would like hug, and smile warmly for me. And in that moment I feel at ease, all my stress is gone just because of that. But one day, sometime in August of last year, I just feel excited to go home and play with her. And as I’m getting near the house, I feel cold and right then and there, I found a lifeless dog. It was such a painful experience of the both of us, we basically grew up together, and she protected and cuddles the family for 10 years. Sigh. I know it’s been a year but I still do miss her, A LOT.

Kitty, out 10year old Japanese Spits who died last August 2011

Cha-cha, a local dog that we exported from the province. Haha!

And not long ago, we bought another dog. We named him Happy. Upon seeing him we felt very happy so we named him that. He’s a lemon white beagle, yes the Snoopy like one.

July 15, 2012 The day we bought Happy :)

He's super ADORABLE! He likes to smell, be lazy, play all the time and hump during the first week that he was with us. He are some photos of his snooping around the house. LOL

 Humping Happy :))

 Lazy Happy

 Playful Happy

 Oh? And he likes to tease Cha-cha while eating too! LOL

 But eventually I had to give him up because I'm quite scared I might lack the time to feed and play with him because we have different body clocks. And now, I actually miss him too. And now I am thinking of getting me another dog. Haha! But this time, I'll see to it that it lasts LONG. I want a pug really. I hope I'll get one, really soon.

What about you and your furry friend? Tell a story. Thanks for droppin by. :)
