Happy September and Belated 28th to MatsuJun!

Don’t worry, I’m still alive and kicking, just have been tied up with other things in life. I hope everyone is well and was able survived that nasty little storm that had the east coast last weekend. My prayers to all!

The site might be going on and off for the next few days, I might be switching to another hosting provider and will be performing some testing. Don’t panic, I will be back shortly. LOL

BTW, my PS3 finally died on me after 4 years of goodness. It ran perfectly for 10 minutes before the “yellow light of death” appeared and nothing works now. From what I read online, this can be fixed by taking the darn thing apart, “re-flowing the motherboard” and reapplying some thermal compound to the GPU and CPU. Well, this is one more thing to add to my weekend things-to-do list. Maybe I’m lucky enough to get it running again and then trade it for store credit to purchase a new one…let’s hope.

Aside from that I’ve become quite fond of yaoi…yep you heard right…. I blame my friend who introduced Gravitation to me a few weeks back. LOL She knew my undying admiration for Inoue-sensei and wouldn’t miss a chance watching his works…now I have a whole new world/genre to experience! :D

Isn’t Jun-kun’s smile is amazing? It always seems to brighten my day, I hope he was able to spend some time relaxing on his special day. :D

Happy May, minna-san!

Don’t worry I haven’t neglected this blog, just been too busy and a bit lazy…really didn’t have the urge to post an updates. :P I’m sure all of us get that once in a while. ;)

I did get a chance to catch up in the Arashi world and the wonderful charity works that JE is doing via Marching J. Fans are quite impressive when it comes to aiding ne, did you see the massive crowds lined up in the new clips?! BTW I really like Ohno’s new haircut, short and refreshing. Though I’m getting tired of Jun-kun’s, it really needs to be grown out.

After a year of delay, I was able to finally sit down and view Code Geass. I have never been a fan of the mecha genre and had only watched a few episodes of Gundam Wing/Seed, the sense of intrigue did not hit me until now. I truly enjoyed every single minute of it.

With Code Geass’ smart script, interesting plot, fast-paced story and fabulous characters, it was love at first sight. The series is not completely flawless as the 2nd season did not demonstrated the 1st’s greatness. Lelouch’s hatred/revengance was based on the events evolving his parents, Charles and Marianne, however, as the facts unfold, the truth was illustrated in a very disappointing manner. I went huh?, it felt so anticlimax and unsatisfying. It is possible that the story-writers ran out of ideas or my expectation meter was too high. Rambling or a 12 page review will not be written here, this is just to point a weak spot and why it deserves a 9 out of 10 in my book.

The ending was quite fitting for world peace to become reality. I know that everyone has their own theories, but I truly believe that Lelouch is alive and was driving that wagon at the end of R2 – episode 25. He was able to obtain the Code somehow through his father and with his Geass resulted in immortality. Thus, the title Code Geass…and lived happily ever after with C.C. :D

Without a doubt, this anime has been placed on my top 10…oh, if you’re wondering, One Piece remains unrivaled at number #1. :)

I had also been editing or playing around to be exact with the layouts to my fanlisting sites, I am no professional btw. Just adding/removing a few things here and there to improve my HTML/PHP skills, just finished the following:

You’re welcome to provide your opinions on my creations, good or bad, I’m all ears. :)

I know that my WordPress layout has been lacking, will need to work on that when I feel like it. For now, I’m going with the Lelouch/C.C. header…might change when Nino’s birthday comes around.
