Watching anime

Waiting every week for the fansubbed release of anime is sooooo painful.... @___@

Currently I'm watching two series : Kimi ni Todoke and Yumeiro Patissiere. YP is a really cute and sweet anime with a lot of cakes and pastries~! A somehow laid-back school life~! Kimi ni Todoke is a shoujo romantic comedy that gives me butterflies.. xD Every episode just makes me yearn for the next episode~~~!! >_<;; Aaahh, another week of waiting. It sucks. But I am sooooooo grateful to FMS for bringing us the fansubbed version of KnT in less than 24 hours! Really cool release! Well it seems Eclipse has it as well, dunno which group did first. xD It was just favorable to get the direct download instead of the torrent earlier so I went to FMS first. Hurray for speedy fansub groups~! Let us help them by not insulting their work and annoying them with our where's-the-next-episode?! complaints by understanding that anime series are shown
weekly in Japan.

Anyway, here are the links to Kimi ni Todoke ep. 15 download~
Direct download and torrent from FMS
Torrent from Eclipse

And if you reaaally reaaaally love KnT, please remember to support them by buying the original manga and anime! Let us support the mangaka and Production I.G. for bringing us great quality series~! Yay banzai~!

I just realized that there are two things that gave me butterflies today :
My boyfriend giving me flowers after so many years
Kimi ni Todoke

Mark went to PCX today with his brother to take a broken CPU... Then they came by my house, and it was a big surprise that he gave me flowers.. <3>

I was addicted to Youda Sushi Chef game that Tal introduced me to... but it already came a time when it became so damn difficult so I finally stopped playing. Then I read the Kimi ni Todoke manga I downloaded earlier. It was so great! But of course the story just won't end so happily.. I believe a new antagonist has appeared so... things will be difficult again for Sawako-chan and Kazehaya-kun. :D I cannot wait for the next episode and chapter...

Recently, I also discovered another anime. I think I found it on New Year before I went to sleep.
Yumeiro Patissiere! It's soooo cute and the plot is about a cute girl attending a baking school. The anime is so full of cakes and sweets~ yay my ideal story~ xD

Anyway, yeah I'm so happy today! ^__^ I'm so grateful of my boyfriend he's sooo sweet even after 5 years! <3>

I had a great day today! ^__^

Today was great. It felt like it really came true, the prayer that I've always recited everyday in my mind.. "I hope that this will be a great day."

Nothing special. We went to work like we used to. We were late as usual. My boss finally came to office after being absent for 2 days after his very long vacation. Apparently, he was stuck in his country because of delayed flights due to heavy snow in some places.

Just like the first few days into New Year, there were a lot of work to do. My boss asked me if I'm happy with my work, and yes, I still am. It's very challenging (though sometimes really scary), and I learn a lot of things. I feel like I always have some use to other people. I never run out of work to do, even though sometimes I act as if otherwise because I'm really lazy. The more I learn from my work, the more I can help my other teammates. I feel happy whenever I can share with others what I have learned. ^.^

We missed the free lunch. Mark and I were already hungry but everybody are still working. It was Margarita dry-run, so we went ahead to have our lunch. When we were about to mount the elevator back to the office, Mark noticed the 2 missed calls from our teammate. When we came back to office, none of our teammates were there. They went to Hap Chan at South Supermarket and the boss bought everyone free lunch. Lesson of the afternoon: if the whole team has not gone to lunch yet by 12:40 PM, wait a little more and you just might get a free lunch.

Nevertheless, I still enjoyed my lunch very much. ^__^

The rest of the day, Mark was bugging me like an all-in-one-virus-adware-spyware-hacker. He was acting like several popup ads on my jabber, typing nonsense or gibberish messages, sending me weird files from my own PC, and sending me emails which contain, I'll let you guess, nonsense stuff. It was fun, xD I was laughing all the time and he was having so much fun. xD Twice, he made my Trillian freeze that I had to end-task the program. It was a Mark virus.

Anyway, I was still working pretty hard but really waiting for 6 PM to come. Then a lot more things came up that I had to work past 6 PM. But I'm getting hungry and it's Friday night, and I really want to go home already. 7PM, we left the office and proceeded to South Supermarket to withdraw some money and eat dinner.

Since we left the office, we were talking about all sorts of nonsense stuff... Mark was so kulit he's so adorable. xD During dinner, he was getting worse and we're having so much fun, talking about anything at all and we won't even feel bad.

He was really fun to be with today~ thank God for sick leaves! He was on sick leave yesterday, therefore he was able to rest. He's been sick since the start of the year and had became a pretty lame companion the other day because he was feeling really sick. Luckily he took the day off yesterday and had a wonderful rest, so he became energetic again today and we had so much fun. I am so happy today, I wish everyday is like that. I'm so grateful that after more than 5 years, we can still be as happy as this. Everything is so worthwhile... ^__^

And I just want to blog about everything. It is just so overwhelming that these memories will stay with me forever, even if blogger shuts down.

KnT madness!

I've been keeping an eye on FMS and Eclipse website... and finally! I saw it right before we left the office...

Kimi ni Todoke episode 13! Hurray!!

I immediately downloaded it as soon as I got home and I just finished watching it~!! Uwaaa I'm really getting hooked... I can't wait until the next episode... Huuuuu... I hate Kurumi-chan and I wonder how will the anime end... I believe it won't be the same as the manga since the manga is still ongoing and a bit far already from the anime. Too bad.. it would have been great if this anime would have more episodes! It would be difficult again to find another anime like this... ;___;

Anyway, Manga Zone Scans, now known as Mango Scans... Another scanlation group (ありがとうございます~!!!) have been translating KnT manga!!! Faster releases yay! They've been working even during holidays! (I think I already mentioned that in my previous post though...)
Read it read it! Then support the manga by buying it in your country! Yay yay~!! <3

Oh well, it's time to sleep again... my mom is watching the reality TV that annoys me most.... pbb.... >_<;; wish I have my own peaceful room to sleep in...

Happy New Year~! ^__^

I shouldn't really be this happy because my very long vacation ends today... ;__; I've been on vacation since December 16 and I think I already forgot that I have work. >_<;; Oh well, I'll get the feeling again tomorrow, waa!

Anyway, 2010 has been great so far -- well it's just the 3rd day so I'd be really unlucky if I already got into some trouble right? January 1, I just stayed at home most of the day but went out with Mark during the afternoon just to have some burger moment xD and well we just went for a joyride with the initial intention of buying something from the mall but it turned out that most of the shops were closed...

January 2-3 were the best days so far~! Mark and I went to Island Cove by January 2 lunch time. When we arrived there, there were no available rooms yet since the hotel was fully booked on January 1st.

So we ate lunch first at the Fishing Village and went for a biking stroll at the Animal Island. The animals were so cute, except for the crocodiles and the reptiles @__@ I liked the iguana though... The deers are sooooo big and a bit scary. The bunnies, turtles and the baby goats are really cute xD The monkeys look scary too because they seem to be fighting for the bananas... T__T the pigs are really big and piggy... xD

Anyway, we finished at past 2PM so the room was already available. We watched TV for a while and prepared to go swimming~ yay I enjoyed it, we had so much fun! Mark taught me how to pick up a coin from the pool floor, LOL xD the water was so cold even at the sunny parts of the pool! It was also windy so it feels colder when you get out of the pool! We went to the slide just once because I was so scared haha but everything's a good experience, we really had so much fun!

We ate quite a lot at merienda, so when we got back to the hotel room, we didn't feel the need to go out for dinner anymore. We just watched TV the whole night! I was already sleepy by 8 or 9 PM I think... but Mark couldn't sleep because the people outside are very noisy! So he kept on watching TV, and I kept on sleeping and waking up at times to watch TV with him.. xD then we became hungry at 9:30 PM so we ordered some food.. xD we ate and I got back to sleep while he kept on watching TV until it was quiet outside.

I wake up at 8 AM and I couldn't sleep anymore so I watched TV while waiting for Mark to wake up. Later he would tell me that when it finally became quiet outside last night, I moved a lot while sleeping so he still couldn't sleep right away.. xD so sorry! xD anyway, by 9 AM I woke him up because we had to catch up with the free breakfast buffet.

There were not much choices in the buffet but it's good enough to fill our tummies well. After breakfast, we went back to the room to sleep some more until 11:30 AM. I'd say, that 45 minutes of sleep was the best sleep we could have during our stay! xD But we're still happy and had so much fun. We left the place happily but as usual, Mark is feeling like he'll get sick after sleeping in an air conditioned room. xD no sick leaves yet on the first working day of the year!! xD

Yep, those were the first 3 days of my 2010 and I'm having fun so far. I hope this year will be great. :)

I just finished reading the latest chapters of Kimi ni Todoke, thank you Mango Scans! http://z6.invisionfree.com/Mango_Scans/index.php?showtopic=105 (previously known as Manga Zone Scans, as far as I know, they are the third to take up the KnT scanlation project and I am so grateful of their hard work even during the holidays!) Anyway, it was also New Year in the manga so I was hoping there would be something like visiting the temple during New Year and drawing our luck for this year.. xD though I think it's also a good thing that I wouldn't know my luck like that because then it would be a different feeling right? Like if you got a Good Luck or Excellent Luck, then you'd be expecting that much luck... and get really disappointed if you didn't. Oh well!

Anyway it's time for me to go to sleep! Despite the fact that I slept until 8 PM since I went home from Island Cove.. xD I just woke up to eat some dinner, then I checked my mail and found out that there are new KnT releases so I read.. and here I am blogging. LOL okay I really need to go to bed now! It's back to work tomorrow so good luck to all of us and happy new year!!! :D I hope we will all have a wonderful year ahead of us! ^__^
