For those who would like to buy Kimi ni Todoke manga

I've been wanting to buy Kimi ni Todoke for a long time now... but cannot find any shops here in the Philippines that sell this manga. >_<;; so I've got no choice but to check out some online stores.

I've tried searching in Amazon.com since it's one of the first reliable results from my Google-ing, but it turns out to be quite expensive. Then I thought of searching Amazon.co.jp and it's cheaper, about Php500 for one volume... but that's for people who can read Japanese because only a few parts of the site are converted in English.

Then, I just discovered that Amazon.co.uk gives me the best deal for this manga. With less than Php400 I can buy one volume of Kimi ni Todoke, though I am still about to find out how much is the shipping fee! They also seem to be out of stock for the volume 2 T___T either that or they mistakenly uploaded the wrong photo.

Anyway, I don't have much money right now so I will come back to register next time! xD I will definitely blog about it when I get to buy the manga!

Nice people giving away free nice stuff ^.^

...and I am such a leecher. xD Oh cmon, I will definitely buy the manga anyway ^__^ I love this manga sooo much! First time that I became hooked on something that doesn't really have sounds or animations... xD

So anyway, let's welcome Fushigi Mystery, another scanlations group who are really really nice to bring us more Kimi ni Todoke scans! Very nice people and they're even asking us for evaluations! Let's support them okay! And let's also support Kimi ni Todoke, as they always say, buy the original manga from your country! ^.^ Hurray~ for Kazehaya-kun and Sawako-chan! <3 Eclipse or FMS!

Merry Christmas

Well for those who can, have yourselves a Merry Christmas! I hope we can learn to be grateful of the things that we have, the time that we can enjoy, and the happiness that we feel today. Let us not take these for granted because A LOT of people will actually die for even just 5 minutes of our lives.

‘Ondoy’ victims still awaiting relocation

Hunt still on for suspects in massacre

Mayon shoots ash column, major eruption nears—Phivolcs

Public urged: Be extra cautious to prevent fires

Ferry accidents

Victims and relatives are suffering right now. They cannot have their usual noche buena, and they can only depend on the help that well-off people like us will give. You know... I just can't help but think that these people will benefit mostly from the PBB house. I just read a few articles about all the PBB housemates since season 1 and most of them are actually rich and have decent or even high-paying jobs (save for a very few who are actually being depended on by their families and really needed the show's prize money to carry on). Instead of watching FHM or commercial models, business owners, half-Filipino half-Whatever hunks and babes... I think it would warrant an Oprah episode if Philippines would reinvent the Big Brother franchise and turn it into a very unique and charitable reality show. Well I'm not really sure if it's okay to do that. I'm not really in the position to say this since I'm not creative myself, but in my honest opinion and maybe just speaking as a television viewer, Filipinos in the entertainment industry are losing their creativity. Franchise this, franchise that. And what's really really annoying is that only the good-looking men and women are getting richer. Or okay, not good-looking but as long as you have those great muscles or double D breasts - YOU'RE IN! About time for someone to step in and tell me, "who do you think you are, talking like you're all great and mighty criticizing other people?" okay, time to shut up. Just expressing my opinions, so sorry for anyone who got offended.

I just feel really bad for the victims... and not to mention that I know at least 2 people who died 2 days before Christmas. It's really depressing to see a coffin inside the house instead of a festive noche buena. Makes me feel so lucky that I'm still here and I can enjoy with the people I love, eat delicious food, or express myself in facebook or a blog... while some people are literally spending Christmas on the streets.

Anyway, apologies for the depressing post. I really just had to. :)

My Be*ch List

I've got a list of beaches that I will definitely go to! Deadline is three years from now, which means I should be able to visit at least one each year! YAY! Well I'm not rich so I can only visit at least two beaches within the year I guess... If only I'll get a raise...... xD

Caramoan Peninsula

Potipot, Zambales

Pagudpud, Ilocos

Coron, Palawan

Honestly I don't enjoy the ocean much because it's too wide and deep, not to mention that the water is salty and you can't really go underwater much. Also, the two occasions that I've been there, I always get skin rashes which make it difficult for me to walk around and enjoy myself. But nevertheless, those two occasions were very memorable for me and I still enjoyed them in spite of myself.. so I want to go more! Besides, swimming pools are not really nice to look at... beaches are! Especially during sunrise and sunset... and it's nice to walk by the shores... <3

Some random visitors from some random places

Look at my whos.amung.us widget at the bottom of my blog!! My blog hits have increased! Weird huh... especially when I've only been spouting nonsense everytime.

Anyway, it's been a long time since my last post! And I won't bore you anymore with very loooong entries... I will just post some pictures next time when I have the chance.

Today, I've signed up to quite a lot of fanlistings so check out my new widget on the right~ :D

On top of that new widget, I posted a button linking to fanplusfriends.com. It's an online cosplay shop that sells very cheap anime costumes but are made from high quality materials! What more, they are willing to customize the sizes depending on your measurements! Nice huh! So I'm planning to buy one from there but I still have to take my measurements... which is quite depressing since I'm really plump (太) right now... T__T Anyway, they also ship worldwide so... yeah great shop!

So I still have some pending anime to watch and manga to read... so ja ne~!
