WARNING: long winded post ahead!

I think im ready for Poly 50 liao since im training my legs everyday.

I hurt my finger today. Pain pain ))': Now my right hand looks like some ET hand because you can only see three fingers. I keep the other two bend cause i think it hurts when i straighten them. T___T

I got my first birthday today~ Its a schedule book from Pearl and Pearlyn. I chose the design. Happy ^^ I really like this gift because its practical. I love practical things! There was once when i ran out of liquid tape during exam period and i badly wished someone would buy me that for my birthday present cause im so broke that i couldnt afford it (ya la, i've always been a spendthrift). I didnt care if it were that $1 kind of correction tape. As long as its a correction tape, I WOULD LOVE IT!

But of course, now if you give me correction tape i would probably go zzz. Anyway, my point is, i dont care how much the gift is as long as it satisfy my need at that point of time. People always buy me expensive stuff and i'd always be in a dilemma cause you need to appreciate it but at the same time, you dont like it. Aiya, you get what i mean la!

So, BIG THANKS TO PEARL AND PEARLYN :D


Oh yeah, even though i had morning shift today, i stayed up till 3am last night to read Bokura Ga Ita. I watched the anime a few days ago on Youtube because they recommended me (after watching Kimi Ni Todoke). I chionged 26 episodes in 2 two days (very unusual for me as i hate to watch shows with long episodes) and yes, i stayed up till wee hours even though i had work. I even woke up an hour early to watch it, hahahaha!

And i've decided that its the best shojo manga that i've read (ok, maybe not. Fruit Basket is also superb and it was the first story i know of that the second male lead ends up with the female lead (YES!!!!!! *prances around in room) but its been a long time since i read it so i dono whether it would win Bokura Ga Ita or not. But as far as i know, BGI has better illustrations. I really dont like Tohru's hairstyle and eyes).

Yes, its even better that Kimi Ni Todoke in my opinion.

Reason 1: Better storyline.
In KNT, there was pretty much no obstacle in the r/s. You say that Sakura is pretty and whatever but c'mon, the guy never ever give a damn about her. There was pretty much no threat. Besides, Sakura turns out to be a nice person, even supporting Sadako in the end.

In BGI, however, there were many many obstacles. First there was the dead ex-gf which the guy really really was in love in. And when they finally started dating, his past always haunt them causing them to break up. Then there is also the best friend who's in love with Nana. Sure, Nana may not be in love with him, but she almost accepted him in the around chapter 50+. And then there are 2 other girls who are in love with the main guy too. One of them is nice but the other one... Psycho lor. She totally broke the couple up and even "blackmailed" (can i mention that she did it twice?) the guy to stay with her. Even stalked him and stuff. Damn it, because of her, Yano disappeared for 5 years suddenly and leave Nana (and the readers) really broken and confused. Grrr.

Anyway, the conflict is much bigger than KNT.

Reason 2: Better illustration.
Er, KNT girl looks better because Nana looks too kiddish already but BGI boy wins hand down. I love Yano's hair!!! As mentioned before, i always look at guy's hair first. I think its amazing how guys can style their hair differently even when its so short. And its not easy to achieve that natural but messy but nice hair (am i even making sense?) To me, hair is the window to one's soul. And Yano is handsome because of his hair ^^

Reason 3: BGI made me cry but KNT did not.
I've always been a sensitive person. I always cry in a fight with my sister even when she's in the wrong. She'd just give the bochap face then i would scream and yell at her until tears come down (loser i know -____-). And im always the only one crying while watching a sad scene at home with family. Point is, i cry easily but somehow, KNT did not make me cry. And we all know that in a story, stirring emotions in people is really important.

And yup, that concludes why BGI is better than KNT. But hor, both of the writers seemed to have gone on a hiatus (mega wtf!) and im under extreme torture BECAUSE I CANT STAND TO WAIT! (Luckily Kyou koi wo hagimemasu is still getting updated even though its super slow T___T)

Ok, sorry for always blabbering about shojo mangas but im a sucker for romance so it cant be help. I wish i could find someone who feels the same way i do. I mean, i know that there are people who loves to read mangas but most of them read shonen mangas only. Those who read shojo mangas have totally different taste from me so i can only rave about my fave mangas to... myself... on my blog.

Heh, pathetic.

Which reminds me, I'VE NOT READ PRINCE OF TENNIS FOR A LONG TIME LE! Time to reunite. Plus, i know that i wont have to wait for updates because its completed!! YAY!! But the sequel (under another manga name) is not completed. Nvm, i shall read POT anyway ^^

PS, omg! I just realised POT is a shonen manga! hahahaha, my first shonen manga everrr!! (eh, maybe not. Cause i've read one about fairies and fighting and it bores me to death but im not sure if its shonen or shojo though) But POT definitely, without a doubt, is my first fave shonen manga! I just wished that there were more development between the guy and the girl though ):

PPS, wait, i just found out that Detective Conan is also a shonen manga. Hence, POT is not my first fave/read shonen manga anymore. It all goes to DC. Why DC wins POT? Because...

Reason 1: ...
hahahaha, okok! im not going to prolong this post by doing a comparison like the one above. But i've always like psychological stuff (things that actually uses your brain to think out of the box) because its amazing how smart people (or in this case, Conan) can be. Besides, there are actually development between Conan and Rachel (i cant remember the japanese name) like when he took her to the restaurant where his parents got engaged. But it failed la. Anyw, DC rocks! <3

Three cheers for the birth of mangas. Otherwise i would be bored for the rest of my life! Lol, im a full-blown otaku ;)
