Couldn't Resist the Temptation... --10-05-2008
Check out Hourglass, my Vampire Knight fanfic focused on Ruka x Kain relationship!
Well, I know I've said that I didn't write much, but someone had suggest me to keep on rummaging at my recycle bin. She had also offer to beta for me, something I really, really appreciate from her. So, when I found nothing still worth from the bin, I decided to write something new. Hope that this story really pays off her trouble reviewing my story =grins=. If you're intrigued, please check my the above mentioned story to find out who she is. (psst, she also has an awesome Zero x Yuuki fanfic! My favorite... read that also, you won't be sorry.)
Random, weird (funny?) things − 30-05-2008
I couldn’t distinguish Kain Akatsuki and Aidou Hanabusa at all on the first month I started to read Vampire Knight. Now I’m better, only have to place like 5 extra seconds, and I’ll know who it is. No, don't even think of asking me about young Ichiru and young Zero!
Escalator makes me nervous.
When I’m low at patience (which is quite often) and someone ask me about anything, I just snapped “Google it, you lazy ass!”
Tomorrow. I have a hard time spelling the word and often use double ‘m’ instead of double ‘r’. Same thing happens with embarrass, address, business.
When I’m driving I always forgot to stop at red traffic lights (didn’t even realize it’s there, to begin with) if there’s no car queuing in front of me, and have my friends or whoever being in the same car with me yelled in panic (poor soul…)
Do online chat with me while I’m chatting with somebody else too, and see how many incorrect message I’ll address you. I’m hopeless!
I hate Naruto without any apparent reason.
I couldn't resist playing with soap bubble or bubble blower.
My Private Addiction--29-03-2008
As long as I can afford to remember, reading manga and watching anime had been a part of my daily life. I started with Candy-Candy --yeah, that one classic piece by Yumiko Igarashi--in my third year of elementary school--, and can't get my hands (and my heart, too) away from it ever since. It's totally captivating me, all those great storyline, vividly beautiful picture, and so unlike any novel --yup, I also read children story book, start at my youngest of age--which present text only and require own imagination to bring it to life It fascinated me even most, as a child, to know from my friend that these manga i've drown in so much about, were produced manually by the hands of those skillful mangaka--even though these days, some of them start to do it digitally.
As a result of modern technology, nowdays I can enjoy most of my favorite manga through what called as 'scanlation'. Of course I still love to have a paperback copy of my favorite titles, the kind you can smell the scent of ink on its pages :D.
Though scanlation itself while sometimes poor in graphic quality, but still best in minimizing storage space, its distributability and the up-to-dateness (for some popular title)--thanks to the effort of many scanlation group in presented us our 'little addiction'. Anyway, does it really matter if the manga itself comes in paperback print or digital image? For me, as long as I can indulge myself in those wonderful stories, it really doesn't matter. A manga is a manga, right?
Now, seventeen years later from the first time I read my first manga-- eventhough I have read hundreds of titles--I still can't seem to get enough of it. There will be no day without manga or anime in my life. Sometimes, my parents have been trying to pry me off this so called 'hobby'. They haven't been sucessfull, so far. Glad to know there's no rehabilitation facility for this kind of addiction for sure :D. I think like I owe my friend who introduce me to the world of manga a lot...
I hope that on the years to come, I will still love manga and anime, with the feeling as strong and clear as on the day I brought a copy of Candy-Candy home.

Memorable Quotes
"Time waits for no one, that's a fact. But time, does not heal my pain, that's the truth"
--Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo
"What a letdown, Kurosaki-san, a real letdown... After all, there is nothing but fear reflected in your sword. When you dodge, you're afraid of getting killed. When you attack, you're afraid of killing someone. Even when you try to protect someone, you're afraid of letting them die. Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear. What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born of that. When you dodge, "I won't let them kill me." If you protect someone, "I won't let them die." If you attack, "I will kill them." Well, can't you see the resolve to cut you in my sword?"
-- Kisuke Urahara, Bleach
"But, anyone who doesn't cry can't be strong... Crying when you needed to cry is one way to show strength"
--Kurogane, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away."
--Unknown
"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards."
--Vernon Sanders Law
