Heaven's Mirror

The end of an Era

toritogedoki — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 07:00:41 GMT

Just posting this from my formspring, facebook, formspring and twitter. At the very least I should make a LJ post for the series that means a lot to me. I've been following KHR for 4 years...Well technically 4 years since 2009. I'm upset by the fact that KHR just ended like that without any official announcement. They made one for Bleach nearly half a year ago, but it's still continuing. I guess I'm thankful that it had a happy conclusion rather than an inconclusive one like Shaman King or that it ended before people started complaining too much about it's direction like Bleach and Naruto.

I’m mainly sad of the ending because it let me meet many people just as Tsuna met his friends-online, cosplay, etc. So, even if it ended, I’ll continue showing my love for it through RP and cosplay. I’ve been cosplaying Tsuna a lot. It wasn’t just a series that I watched or read for entertainment. I related to the characters…I’ve learned so much from Tsuna’s and Gokudera’s experiences and lessons. I guess that’s why khr has a special place in my heart. /Cheesy Just like how Tsuna had many experiences and met his friends, the series was pretty much parallel to my own life experiences.

Thanks to Tsuna, I've learned to be more confident, to take more risks. Because if I don't try, then I already fail. I've learned from Gokudera to take care of myself better so that I don't worry others and to rely on my friends more instead of trying to do everything by myself. There were so many more lessons that I learned from the KHR characters. I don't think I can list them all, but I guess friendship as the main theme really made me realize how lucky I am to have friends who care for me and appreciate me. I went through a really bad phase at the beginning of this year, thinking negatively about myself...But now, I'm happy about who I am...(So off topic).

I've become so much more than I was years ago. I know so many more people, have done nearly all of the things that I want to do on my "To do before die" list.

I just need to continue working harder towards my goals just as Gokudera does.
So yeah, even though KHR ended, the fans in the community still show their love for the series. It brought me closer to my fellow cos friends too.

Hopefully, we'll get together a mass KHR cosplay group together for a photoshoot as our tribute.
So I won't say goodbye to the series, through RP, I can continue my imagination of what happens to the characters. *cough* TYLs...

(I was even active on LJ because of KHR---)

I first read KHR because of friends suggesting me to read it and because of my favourite artist Kurot who was a big fan of it herself. I started reading it and thought: "What is this art? It's terrible....What the heck is going on?" I initially thought that the series was just about BL since that's all I saw in fanart and the guys not really knowing that Reborn played a huge role in it. I was about to give up reading the manga and literally out it down but my friends told me to keep going so I did. Right when it got to the chapter where Gokudera got ran over by cars just to give Tsuna these white roses which turned red from his blood, I fell in love with the series and laughed so loud. I just fell in love with Gokudera's loyalty and the extremes that he would go for his Boss. Then as I continued reading it, I got converted into liking Yaoi. orz I never liked yaoi before, but KHR with its small female cast and large cast of bishounen probably converted me. But my OTP 5927 is considered more of a shoujo pairing due to the cheese and fluff.

Anyway, I also realized that I could relate to Tsuna so much that eventually, Tsuna became a part of myself...We're even the same height and blood type..I could continue ranting on and on about KHR. My favorite character has got to be Gokudera because he's the most loyal and genuine person there is for his feelings and resolve towards his Boss. Oh and I like Tsunderes. *cough* Tsuna is my next favourite but it's probably because I relate to him the most. But generally, I like most of the characters. One of the only series where I can say that I like most of the characters as I usually only have one or two.

My favourite arc...hard to say as I liked most of them. It's probably the future arc as most of the characterization developed in that arc. Favourite battle: Battle of the Storm Ring Oh man...I'm too exhausted to continue writing all of my memories and favourite characters/moments. This just goes to show that there's too much about this series because it means a lot to me.

Last stretch and other random FS stuffs

toritogedoki — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 08:59:33 GMT

Ok, so there's less than a month for finals for me and yet I'm procrastinating...need to get my butt off of FS -__-;......Anyways, just found out that I have two finals on the same day! Yay for me! But luckily one of them is Japanese which I'm pretty confident about....

Hosting a FS Rebocon on FS from Friday Nov.26-Sun Nov.28. It all started with well, I would like to say me being bored and the lag on FS made me post random Goku songs. But it probably started from TYL!Goku singing Loop to Tsuna hahahaha xD....so cheesy >///<! Then by suggestion of Ojiisan AKA G-sa- I mean G....about feeling left out of my Karaoke party that day, I just had to come up with the event ^^b!
And the fact that most of the charas can make it makes me feel happier about the event >w<! Let's hope it won't turn chaotic when it's time for the "Family Song" OTL......"Choice" is probably what I'm looking forward to the most! Hope someone gets "Loop" xDDD!!! It'd make my day if that happened.

EDIT:Nov 27 (pfft. link fail)
These are just random amusing FS scenarios

toritogedoki — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 07:01:20 GMT

So yesterday on FS (formspring) it was "Applications to Science Day" where Goku applied science to fictional genes LOL. It took me quite a while to answer and edit this question regarding Punnett Squares:

and here's a question regarding astronomy:

Otanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu Juudaime!

toritogedoki — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 00:27:54 GMT

So today is another special day ^^! It's Juudaime's birthday! Yesterday's was Reborn-san's...but no one wished him a happy birthday (except for me and the Primo). I thought I would have time to draw something for Tsuna....But due to an artist block....I don't think I can draw anything atm =/......instead I had a lot of fun RPing as Tsuna and having a blast at his birthday game planned by his "Ojiisan" xD.

ps. I also said Happy Birthday to my "RL" Juudaime ^^;;;;;

Otanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu Juudaime!
Buon Compleanno Decimo!

Always stay your true self and never change =).

I give up poo....

toritogedoki — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 23:31:41 GMT

All of those promises of writing up my daily blog and etc....I don't think they're gonna happen ;__;....I have way far too many things going on in my life and I can't keep track of them all.....So I'm just gonna blog about important events or when ever I feel like it/have time...Still gonna attempt to finish my AE report and that partial summer report. Gonna keep up with reborn summaries for manga and anime when I have the time. But for now, I'm too occupied with my RP formspring accounts ^^;.....

I made two more LOL! My friends are like, "why do you need so many accounts?!" Hahaha >___>.........Anyways, having a lot of fun with my fellow anime club peeps. I also made friends with a Japanese exhange student who likes Shoujo o__0! We should switch lol! He likes shoujo like Kimi no Todoke while I like shounen jump like reborn and gintama. Unfortunately, this past friday I couldn't hang around longer or join them to watch the Social Network afterwards since I had a birthday dinner to attend. Birthdays are more important afterall and I havn't seen my high school buds for a long time.

If you're interested I made a Gokudera RP account here and a Reborn one here
My Gokudera account is apparently my most popular one even though dame tsuna was first ^^;........
It's hilarious what happens on my Goku account...seriously the wackist events ever!
My Tsuna one is made for cheesiness I guess.....he's so MOE!
I'm having a hard time with my Reborn one since I'm not too familar with Reborn-san, but I'll try my best ^^!
I bet my RL friends would flip out when they see how I speak with my Goku account hahaha /nervous laugh.

Oh and it's Xanxus's birthday today! It's October 10, 2010! 10th day, 10th month of the 2010 year! He's prbly the luckiest character there is today! He even has two 'X's in his name LOL! It's also Naruto's birthday apparently ^^........And Birds that creepy guy who originally had hibird.
Tsuna'sbirthday is on Oct 14, but I havn't finished his present.....I didn't exactly have a present for Gokudera either...sobs....

and today is also Real Mafia 4!!!!!!!!! I wish I could attend one of the Real Mafia events T____T /sobs. Most of my fav 5927 circles are there.........It's also a lucky day to have that event....../sighs........Cotton Candy's new artwork improved so much! It's already so breathtaking and now another level! I wonder if I should give up drawing seriously....I suck.....I can only draw the first half of a body.......maybe it's just an artist's block.......

Edit: The 10th is also one of the Rebocon red concerts....so many events in one day ;___; And it's Rumiko Takahashi's birthday O____O!!!!!!!
HAHAHA....I forgot to mention one of my high school buds birthday is on the 10th....she's lucky!

Anyways, Ciao for now!

I can't believe I did this...but here it goes ^^;;;

toritogedoki — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 05:42:40 GMT

Ummm...ehhh...errr....yeah....so I was totally bored today and decided to make a formspring account as "Dame27".....Yeah...you can shoot me if you like o___o.....So...ummm...e-eto.....It's actually challenging roleplaying as a fictional character x___X...I guess it's similar in the way of fanfiction and writing the characterization, etc.

I think this question on formspring made me do it ><:

Anime Club! dsafja;slfjadslj reborn continues! And Ouran ends.....

toritogedoki — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:04:54 GMT

So I just found out from the community that reborn is continuing in spring 2011 as "X Generation" XDDD!!!!! (Am I the only one who thinks they ripped off "Yu-Gi-Oh GX???? GX stands for 'generation X" hahaha) That totally lifted part of my depression! Seriously, even though I went to club, made new friends and rekindled old friendships, I was still pretty depressed about it being the "last episode". I was even gonna post about how sad I was to watch it and etc....Now I can delay it a bit since school is making me exhausted LOL! Time to revive my previous plans of fanarting, fanfiction (maybe >__>), cosplaying and trip to Jump Festa and fuyucomi next year! Hurrray!!!!!

And at club we watched: Darker than Black, Ouran (yay~ I even introduced one of my new friends to watch it, and the club conveniently shows an episode xD), xxxHolic, Getbackers, Genshiken (I'm interested to watch this) and others that I can't recall since I was too busy talking to my friends (mostly about reborn xD). They had the usual trivia/jeopardy game where they had impossible questions orz...the final question for OVA 9000 Points (lol) was to match 10 series to 10 sound clips of op/ends they played. They replayed them like >5 times...but that didn't help =__=...I could only get FMA:Brotherhood YUI's 'Again' since I looove that song! The rest were from series I was supposed to watch but never got a chance to...like DNA angel.....From my group (apparently I was group leader o__0), I could only answer one question for 1000 pts from the manga/anime category:List the order of forms of media that got released for Nodome Cantabile. Thanks to my shoujo background, I answered that correctly xD! The previous group answered it wrong:Manga, Anime, Live action. LOL! The answer was:Manga, Live action, anime (I know this since Nodome is one my my favs <3). I spent from 5-9pmish there lol, usually I leave at the dinner break....I'm going again for the next showing.

Today I got inspired by my Asian Studies prof ^^! He told us a story about one of his students who majored in genetics but minored (or took) Asian Studies. She was the anime president at one point and ended up studying in Tokyo University in genetics! So that got me thinking that I don't have to give up my love of anime/and or Japanese culture. I was seriously having a mental breakdown trying to figure out what I should do since I was torn between my love of animals and anime (both start with "anim" lol). But now I could somehow merge them! I don't know how, but I'll figure it out in time ^^. And I became friends with that guy next to me in my Japanese class who had that "WTF" face ^^.

But! Even though I got the good news about reborn, I also am currently reading the final chapter of Ouran ;__;....I've been following Ouran since 2006...so it's been ~4 years for me. That's reallly looong! I still think that Ouran is my number one favourite shoujo manga of all time! It will prbly be for a long time. I'd glad that I wasn't just shipping Tamaki and Haruhi together hahaha! I still remember back then when everyone debated who Haruhi should end up with. One of my friends said she didn't want Haruhi to end up with anyone, otherwise the other fans will be upset....But oh well for them! (Yes I'm a totally bias person as you can see from my hardcore shipping of 5927). I love TamaHaru fluff best for shoujo fluffiness~ I'll prbly post about the chapter later....(though I always make empty promises....)

(oh and this is not related, but I finally got my KH:BBS Decal set :D! Turns out EB Games had a late shipment and I had to wait for an extra week or two before they arrived. They had so many at EB Games that they didn't care if I showed them my receipt o__0...so basically anyone could get one /facepalms. But then again, I went to the one that not many people go to ^^. )

EDIT:Sept 28, 2010
OMG! I totally forgot to mention that it was the 27th! 27=Tsuna xDD! /facepalms. I was gonna say it was "5927" day since Gokudera's b-day is in the 9th month and 27th day is=Tsuna....but actually the official "5927" Day was on Sept 14 since it's the 9th month=Gokudera's birth month and 14th day=Tsuna's birthday in October....

Club in like 30mins and supra bad news

toritogedoki — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 23:44:40 GMT

So crunchyroll announces the end of the anime 5hrs in advance of the final episode LOL! And there's a contest till Nov 17 12pm....There's 15 screencaps and you have to write what episode they're from and the min:secs of the screencap orz...I think I'll attempt it since I am a hardcore fan...1st prize includes a year of free membership, KHR:Battle Area for the PSP (which I already have orz). Runner-ups get the psp game and a phone strap. Either way if I win....I prefer the phone strap loool. I can so far only recognize 2....1 from episode 182:Silent Storm since I loved that episode and episode 76:The Reason to Fight (I think) since it was another memorial episode where Gokudera's storm battle ends and 8018 first appears with 80 trying to stop 18 xDD. I can remember what arc and range the rest are from.....some of them are "....when did that happen?" or "How can I guess what this was from?!" Like the one with shoichi's closeup LMAO. Ridiculous contest

Anyways....I also found out that viz might discountinue the release of english volumes of reborn...sighs...I was supporting them by buying the volumes! (even though the translations are wonky like when Gokudera said, "Well blow me sideways!" to Tsuna xDD. Or remember that "Kyousuke Hibari" typo xD? But yeah...good thing I'm taking japanese atm....Finally learning the short forms that they actually use in "dramas and anime". My sensei even told us that and I flipped out LOL. The guy next to me was like, "WTF! What's wrong with her?" face xDD. Sighs.....Today's the last episode......Of course it's painful knowing that my most favourite anime is gonna end in like 3 hrs.....But I'll survive...with the manga....(BTW, the last chapter of ouran has also been released....wow two fandoms end in the same time period.....)

Anime club and other thoughts before my brain explodes!

toritogedoki — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 05:26:17 GMT

The ice-breaker for my school's anime club is on the same day the last episode of reborn is showing ><! This time, I think I'll be more active in my club instead of just appearing for the ice-breaker and then disappearing.....my friend is the same lol...he also only appears for the ice-breaker =___=....I should prbly attend the karaoke sessions, halloween dance, valentines dance and other events. I'm saying this now so I won't back out on my words ^^;.....Planning on cosplaying as Rukia for the halloween dance and maybe getting my friend to cosplay as Ichigo? (His hair is pretty much already the same colour orz).

This is totally out of nowhere, but as I was looking through my reborn pics, I saw this:

It's totally a pic of Gokudera fanboying over Tsuna xD. Awww....he only shows this expression for his Juudaime~

I don't remember the episode number...but it was a flashback during Gokudera's battle with Gamma where he talks about his resolve to return everyone back to their time and why he holds Tsuna in high regard (horrible english i know...)

And they're holding HANDS >///<!!!! This was from that filler episode where Yamamoto teaches this baseball team. Tsuna stopped him by holding his hand~ Definitely fanservice LOL! Since this didn't happen in the manga.....You would think Gokudera would have some sort of reaction like, "OMG JUUDAIME!!!!" *lets go frantically* "I'm not worthy of holding your hand!" But no...he was more angry at the fact that Yamamoto was not focused on training >___>......(btw...I wonder why Gokudera's skin is paler than Tsuna's? Must be the fact that he's 3/4 Italian.) Anyways...that's it for random 5927 anime moments. I think I'm gonna download all of the episodes in 720p and rewatch all of them. Or borrow my friend's crunchyroll membership or just rewatch them with my friend who is stuck on episode 16 atm....

Reborn anime is ending.....next week on Sept 24....

toritogedoki — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 06:08:53 GMT

I just got into the fandom for a year...and then they announce it's gonna end next week...I knew this would happen eventually..but not this soon. (But after 200+ episodes and 4 years....the animators usually decide to end it)
Whenever an anime is catching up with manga material they have three choices:1)diverge from the manga and come up with something different eg.FMA and Soul Eater 2)Have huge filler arcs eg.Naruto and Bleach or 3)End it temporary and continue after the manga has more material or is finished eg.Inuyasha and Gintama. I can only hope they are sticking with 3).....First Inuyasha, Gintama, and now Reborn...OhYeah, the ouran manga is ending this month too.....yikes....all of my hardcore fandoms....I still have the Gintama and Reborn manga...but it's not the same....
I feel like all of my plans have gone down the drain....or decreased....Like I'm supposed to go to Jump festa and winter comiket next winter break (still planning to)....and I wanted to at least attend a Rebocon....looks like that isn't happening anymore....And my cosplay plans, fanart...etc...sighs....What is gonna happen to the fandom now....and I hope my favourite circles like Cotton Candy and Mononoke Hokakubutai will continue with their 5927 works....
I could rewatch it I guess....even though I already watched most episodes twice.....sighs...depressing is depressing....how am I gonna survive university life without my friday outlet??? I guess it's time to watch one piece, eyeshield21 and prince of tennis...not to mention catch up all of my holds....(oh and the new season of PKMN looks sucky....Brock leaves and there's these new charas....)This gives me an opportunity to write all of the reborn anime reviews I'm behind on =/......
Well, I had good times watching, squealling and fangirling over gokudera and 5927 moments......I wish they animated the Promotion chapter.....*SOBS*.....And I realize I always get into a fandom too late......like Gintama and Reborn....I'm still in denial over this news....I'll survive.....still have manga.....no more rebocon, character songs....merchandise? nah...they'll still have that stuff since they're still selling Inuyasha 2011 calendars, Durarara, Gintama, other ended series merch.

Someone suggest something new for me to watch....I seriously feel like I'm gonna have a breakdown..it's like in Sailor Moon when Mamoru went to America to study and Usagi was just not the same....that's how I feel right now.....

Gokudera's Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

toritogedoki — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 07:28:28 GMT

It's/was (depending on the time zone lol) Gokudera's birthday and all I did was yell/scream about in my friends' faces today ^^;. Like, "Do you know who's birthday it is today? IT'S GOKUDERA'S!!!!!!!" They ask me why I know that and I answered," BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!" hahahaha ^^; As for the fanart, I can't even colour/finish in time since I had so much school work to do ><! Such as studying for Japanese >__>.....so it's a late birthday present that I could finish on the weekend? (Unless I get distracted and start playing BBS....)

But here's a little something I learned and I guess it would be for Gokudera's sake that I learned it:
わたしにとって, 獄寺はかっこいいだとおもいます。
watashi ni totte, Gokudera wa kakkoii dato omoimasu.
Direct translation:To me, Gokudera is cool, is what I think. (?)

Gahhhh....I don't remember what it translates to exactly OTL ;___;....I learned this from my friend who's also my personal Japanese Tutor (who's not a hitman) ^^. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

Anyways!
獄寺お誕生日おめでとう!
Gokudera otanjou-bi Omedetou!
Buon compleanno Gokudera!
Joyeux anniversaire Gokudera!
Happy Birthday Gokudera!

(Haha overdid the languages ^__~. I learned French in high school, so that's where the French came from *cough*)
(Btw, if anyone can direct me to some program or site that can help me type Japanese, that would help a lot!)

toritogedoki — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:24:52 GMT

Yeah, I know this isn't one of the posts I promised, but believe me, I was working on my Anime Evolution 2010 report last night but I had to sleep early for school ><! \oh and today there was a cute thing that happened xD! I was at Daiso with a friend and Rolling Star by YUI Acoustic ver. was playing. I was singing along with a little girl and we both laughed since we were like weebos singing together at a store xDD. It was realllly a cute moment >w<! The little girl(~7-8) was cute too <3! It just made me think, if I had a daughter that cute, we could sing ~~jpop~~ songs together hehehe.

Anyways, I pre-ordered my BBS PSP bundle the day BEFORE the release IMAO....I just lost track of time and totally didn't remember about the release since so many things came up. But as expected, I didn't get that pre-order bonus since I pre-ordered the day before...but it's ok since they're decal stickers ;___; (though I keep saying that just to make myself feel better). Actually the story is like this: I thought the special ed. PSP that came with the bundle had the design like the Japanese one already, so I didn't pre-order it....Should've researched before hand *SOBS*. Anyways, I havn't touched it yet...since my bro was playing on it all day.....and I just customized the theme by adding that BBS Theme from the website I saved since May LOL. And I bought KHR:Battle Arena like last October for only $13 and can finally play it xD! Yes, I'm very sad...buying a game before I even buy the console =____=.....Gotta put all of those demos I've been downloading from the Japanese Playstation Store from my PS3 to my new PSP.

Oh and Gokudera's Birthday is on September 9 >w<! Happy Birthday Gokkun, Gokudera-kun, Tako-Head, Ahodera, Hayato, Right Hand Man of the Decimo, 10th Vongola Storm Guardian, Hurricane Hayato, Smokin Bomb Hayato. Ok I'm going overboard by saying all of his names and titles ^^;....I think this is the first time I celebrated a fictional character's birthday "gasp". I think I recall Tamaki's and Haruhi's birthdays but never really celebrated them lol. I guess I should finish colouring that Gokudera and G drawing and do a 5927 sketch/maybe fanart for his birthday ^^.

Here's a preview of the Drawing of the Gokudera and G fanart which I did like in Jan? It's the raw lineart...not cleaned yet ^^;

Yes I'm a procrastinator...

toritogedoki — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 05:06:34 GMT

Ok..so I havn't been able to post all of those stuff that I promised -___-....I'm like one of those scanlators who never update for months haha.....Well...I will make a legit promise now (since school is gonna start in a week...).

I promise I'll post my report on Anime Evolution, my daily life summary of the summer, my inheritance arc summaries and if I have time my reborn manga reviews before school starts.If I get comments pushing me to do so, I'll most likely post them ^^;.....Especially if you roleplay as Gokudera xD (but I'm roleplaying as Tsuna, so you can't post like "YOU *^*&%&$^%$^! YOU BETTER POST OR ELSE I"LL SHOVE DYNAMITE DOWN YOUR THROAT!" hahaha)

Oh and I recently got a formspring since I was so bored last weekend:www.formspring.me/Toritogedoki
So feel free to ask me anything random!

Not posting this weekend since I'm leaving for a trip to Oregon ^^! So see you then!

Con recovering atm

toritogedoki — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:04:06 GMT

Anime evolution 2010 passed by in a flash! I had fun this year.....but only mostly cuz of the ppl I hung out with, the ppl I met and the guests that came this year. Team Four Star and LittleKuriboh were hilarious and nice ppl. The quality of the con went down compared to last year's though....And not many cosplayers stood out for me....I focused on the reborn cosplayers this year. I think it's either a)my expectations increased from last year b)everyone went to Comiket78 (Kurot did...) c)It was at UBC, so not many ppl came (plus I go to shcool there orz....). I'll post the full report sometime this week with pictures, my experiences and what I bought(mostly 5927 doujinshi this year ^^;). Con recovering right now lol.

59 and 27 colour doodles

toritogedoki — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 07:44:09 GMT

My doodles are here in my scraps on my DA. I think my colouring technique using copics and other markers improved ^^! But I need to practice colouring on my computer orz......And I know I shouldn't try to imitate Amano-Sensei's colouring/drawing style....but I really like it ><!

(btw, I'm prbly gonna post tons of stuff this month...so be prepared....)

Updates and my personal to do list

toritogedoki — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:20:39 GMT

I'm finally done summer school hurray! Now I gotta do the things that I've been ignoring....First I have to finish my cosplay outfit for AE. It'd be sad if I looked all over for that sweater vest for nothing. Next I gotta post up that daily life blog I've been working on, inheritance arc review and manga reviews. I'm going to seattle for a one day shopping trip so I can't do much yet....

I just wanna play fire emblem recently lol. I'm so addicted to it! I finally finished Path of Radiance after 2-3 years lol since I was stuck on one chapter...seriously once your character dies, they're gone forever....Now I'm playing Radiant Dawn the sequel. My MVPs were in this order:
1.Titania (who I stopped using for a few chapters since she took all of the exp. points for my other characters who needed it)
2.Oscar(I personally like using him better than Titania)
3.Ike(Even though he's the hero, killed the black knight in two turns, he's still 3rd lol)
4.Boyd
5.Jill(She's one of my personal favourates)
And for some reason Mia is 6th even though I'm pretty sure I use her a lot to make criticals.

The reason why that day was just so bad was cuz this douchebag who was the same age as me was swearing at me and my driving instrutor even though he was the one that was wrong......That made me think, "wow I feel sorry for whoever hangs out with him." And I appreciate my guy friends more. They are total gentlemen compared to that moron. But yeah that was why I felt horrible....kinda a stupid reason but it traumatized me.....

Anyways, gotta catch up on my to do list. And that friend who was travelling around the world is back from his adventures (i'm so envious...) so I have less time to finish that list lol.

D'AWWWW

toritogedoki — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 05:45:01 GMT

This just makes me....;___; D'awwwww. Gokudera is so formal towards Tsuna in this scene....When I read the chapter, I didn't pick up on the formality of his words...english translations don't do justice....But this scene may be my most fav scene of all time next to "promotion", "The Battle of the Storm" and "The Silent Storm". This might be the first time Gokudera said "Decimo" I think.....My fav line is the part where he says he wants to the the type of Right Hand Man who survives to laugh side by side with the boss>///<. and the fact that his goal is still to be Tsuna's Right Hand Mand and it's his reason for living(awwww). Tsuna just had to blush hehehe >w<.

G's-Archery(or is it G-Archery o__0) is so soo cool *__*! (except my bro compared it to Ishida's bow =__=) G, Primo's childhood friend and Right Hand Man appears for a few seconds 'drools'

Today is officially 'My Worst Day Ever'

toritogedoki — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:32:22 GMT

Yes, compared to all of my years of living, today has to be the worst. day. ever. Too many bad things have piled up today....And this week has to be my worst. week. ever. It's summer vacation and yet I have never felt this bad.....maybe all of the bad karma built up and is hitting me like a brick today....I'll explain why today is marked as officially my worst. day. ever. after I survive my final....

(I do realize I have been using the same icon for three posts in a roll now...)

Edit: Actually I take it back....after reading Ouran chapter 81...let's just say I havn't fangirl squealed over a het pairing for a loooooong time and I havn't loled(at Tamaki xD) at pure legit comedy for ages! Yes...it's kinda sad how one chapter of shoujo manga can change my mood. For some reason, when I look at Mori and Kyouya I can't help but see Yamamoto and Hibari now....too much Reborn intake xD. And I think Bisco Hattori has a thing for BL....cuz in some panels where there's Haruhi and Tamaki, why do I see a BL pairing instead? Must be another Reborn side effect. Btw, I always questioned Hikari and Kaoru's "Brotherly Love"...but now I understand why it's popular xD. Man...I can't imagine meeting something like Huni-senpai in University epsecially if he were in my class...creeepppy! Hahaha, I love how Tamaki-senpai over thinks >w<!!!! It's like how Gokudera would think too, "I can't think of an activity worthy or perfect enough for Juudaime to hang out with me!!!!!" And why do the both of them think that an excellent magic trick is to saw someone in half o___0?! "There's no trick to this magic trick." LOL. I just realized, Cotton Candy's artwork has a resemblance to Bisco's artwork...like Tsuna looks too similar to Haruhi and sometimes Gokudera has that smile/gaze that resembles Tamaki's kind and warm smile/gaze. Ahhhhh....And why is there a hint of KyouyaxHaruhi when obviously Hikaru has given up on her=__=....I find it so amusing that Tamaki is panicking and getting all flustered about setting a date up for Haruhi when he has the title of "Host Club King". LOOOL "Do you want to talk about the wedding....///" Wow Tamaki talk about fast thinking, you guys didn't even go on your first date yet xD. AHHHH This chapter made me laugh far too many times xD! My parents were like, "Such a kid...." AWWWW Two confessions and cheesy moments in one chapter is just too much! Fluff over load! And now the other club members are gonna stalk them on their date xD! Reversal roles! YAY! Ouran's not over yet! "Date Arc" hehehe makes it sound epic! I can never imagine Gokudera and Hibari becoming friends like Tamaki and Kyouya >__>....Anyways, sorry if it was choppy but I was writing my thoughts as I was reading the chapter. I'll make a better review for this chapter when I have more time (and when I calm down),

(Oh...and Reborn 300 came out today too, but I gotta admit, Ouran chapter 81 beat it's place on my list today. Since when did Gokudera have black inked hair anyway =___=....And is Tsuna starting to adopt Gokudera's fashion? Seriously...Tsuna's outfit on the cover of the new Character Songs CD and his new ring 'upgrade'.)

And this makes me....;___: *SOB*.....Can't wait till september for KH:BBS!

OM CLOSING DOWN BY THE END OF JULY?!

toritogedoki — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:06:51 GMT

Yeah...I was in shock when I found out...especially since I've been reading the latest Jump chapters on OM for more than 5 years now...It's really sad since the majority of my manga fix and past series have also been from OM....Man...I feel like everything in my current time is falling apart T_______T*SOBS*......I guess I'm gonna have to stick to Mangafox...but I'm not as fond of it as I was for OM...(And Mangafox is taking down the licensed series orz).....Or start downloading the chapters...well I'm starting to do that for Reborn nowadays anyway.....I always relied on OM for fast releases of Reborn, Naruto, Bleach and the other top series.....How am I gonna catch up on all of the series I'm behind on/planned on reading now? I have school #$%%@!$%#!!!!!! Yeah, I'm so upset that I even attempted to make it look like I swore lol. First they change the voice actors for pkmn, Inuyasha ends, Gintama the anime ends(for now), Ouran manga ending by the July/aug issue of LaLa(?), Brock is leaving pkmn in the new gen season of black and white and now this.....What next, Reborn is going to end in a year?! arggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess there's always an end for everything....

Thanks OM for 60%+ of the manga I've read for all of these past years.

EDIT: I think Hana to Akuma is also ending now T^T....Tht series is just too cute ;___; As a matter of fact, nearly every shoujo series I've been following seems to be coming to an end.....La Corda D'oro the first series is over now I think....Is this the year for everything to end or sth? (Shugo Chara, Inuyasha in March, Gintama in April, Ouran soon etc...)

On a side note, at least Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden is finally out of hiatus! And there's a new chapter of Karakuri Odette out YAY! Too bad OM is closing down...I wonder if it's cuz it's closing down that there's new updates/chapters to series that have been dead for at least a year? Tht's why my list of "on hold" manga is freaking long since the series never get updated/on hiatus....

overwhelmed...

toritogedoki — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:38:52 GMT

As soon as my final was over, I thought I could relax...But I was WRONG! I had to attend my next course the week following my final orz...Now I'm exhausted more than ever....I'm way too overwhelmed by the fact that my class starts at 8:30am....and that my timetable for next fall isn't working out as planned....I have to focus on my driving lessons too....Some summer vacation this is -___-.....I havn't been able to post the events and reviews I've been meaning to for a month now.....My room is still a mess><! I really wanted to clean up and organize it with my collections etc. My cosplay outfit is starting to become an obstacle....At least I FINALLY found the yellow sweater vest after a search of 2+ months....But it isn't v-necked...so I might have to get it altered....I got my stockings and dress shirt. As for the gray pleated skirt and blue bow....I planned on making those myself. Unfortunately, I can't find the time to buy the material and to learn how to make them....Anyways, I really should be doing my stupid problem sets that we're supposed to do everyday =___=...Oh and what's making my mood worse is that fact that 8059 is always flooding my friends page.....and that TsunaEnma is becoming popular 'cries' T____T....It's so sad.....Please someone save me with 5927 fluff ><!!!!!!

A dream with pkmn, khr and Detective Conan?

toritogedoki — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 19:54:46 GMT

I had the strangest yet most entertaining dream this morning! First it started off with a pokemon movie 2000 theme except it was a sequel? Apparently lugia was calling on Ash again since he's the chosen one and it was my job to remind him and help him to regain his memories back about that plot in the the movie. I kept convining him by saying, "The beast of the sea Lugia is calling on you to save the world again. Your memories of that event got erased by Lugia." Isn't that more like the 1st movie where mewtwo erased their memories? LOL. He was like, "what are you talking about?!" And I told him that my sister Melody told me to remind him. Yes apparently tht girl in the movie Melody was my sister o___0...Then he goes, "Melody?!" and he starts to rmb.

All of a sudden the theme switches to khr where ash is actually Tsuna?! And there was another mafia family out to get him! The enemies resembled ppl I know in rl lololol. Tsuna was panicking and asking what we should do. I told him that we needed to get the family and prepare to battle against them. Next I started calling Gokudera using my cell phone (which is exactly the same one I have in rl o___0). He was on my top five list hehehe. I even rmb searching up for his name in the G section and then realizing that he was in my fav section so I was wasting time lol. I dialed his number and he picked up. I was like, "Hey Gokudera.....kuunnn!!!!!!(I wasn't sure whether I should've added the -kun in my dream so I had a pause when saying it lolololol) He answered by singing lyrics from "Oretachi no Yakusoku" o___0....Apparently they were playing a dare/karaoke game where if someone called, they had to answer singing their character songs. I frantically yelled, "Gokudera-kun! Tsu---The Juudaime is in trouble!!!! There's another mafia family that plans on attacking him! So gather up all of the family members and come this instant to protect him!" (I was also unsure of whether I should say Tsuna or "Juudaime" but I ended up saying "Juudaime" to get his attention since it was urgent.) He was distracted and obviously didn't listen to what I was saying bc I could hear him yelling, "JUUDAIME DOESN'T NEED DR.KUDO'S PROTECTION!" (I assume that "Dr.Kudo" is from "Shinichi Kudo" who is also known as "Conan" from "Detective Conan" And I had an image of him in my head in my dream of Conan. Talk about major detailed dream o__0 and how on earth did I rmb "Kudo" in my dream?! 'cough'....) I was really angry and replied, "You weren't listening were you Gokudera-kun? Some Right Hand Man you are! You idiot!!!!!" And I hung up while being really pissed. I told Tsuna, "That's it, I'm calling Hibari-san!" Tsuna squeaked, "You have Hibari-san's number?!"

And that was the end of it before I woke up for class. I'm honest about what I wrote...all of that did happen in my dream! I know it's prbly hard to believe all of that hahaha. But hey, Stephanie Meyer had a dream which was the origin of Twilight xD. Btw, this is totally random, but Gokudera's seiyuu sounds really similar to Ichigo's from Bleach seiyuu...So am I saying Gokudera sounds like Ichigo????

pkmn collecting, children's card games and spinning tops

toritogedoki — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 19:34:51 GMT

Yeah...I'm at my campus library writing this up on a public computer lololol. Wanted to try it out hahaha and I should be studying for my bio midterm that's in less than a week. My bio class is killing me ><! Three weeks course with a writing assignment due the week after next and final on the third week. Let's hope I don't procrastinate and get distracted >__>...cuz the recent chapters of reborn are epic xD! And I was working on my daily-life post, but my bro told me not to upload pics cuz it lags his computer =___=....and told me to do it when he's not on (which is NEVER!). So, that's gonna have to wait....Same as the Inheritance Arc summary for the anime lol. The arc ended already and I didn't make a summary for all of the episodes ^^;;;....

Oh and I got so many goodies in the mail this week xD! Mainly pokedolls (don't ask.....they're just too adorable >w<). My mom was like, "Are you sure you can't buy these here?" I told her, you can't get these specific ones.....since they're exclusive to the pkmn center in New York, and Japan.....My local Toys R Us only has those american Jakks plushes that aren't all that great *shot*. And my fav store "gacha gacha hobbies" only has a small selection of pokedolls.....Oh and I saw those Jakks foam balls and they really do cost $4(well cdn $ is only off ~5cents these days compared to US$) as seen in the pkmn collector's community...or is it cheaper in the states? Those Jakks plush cost $10 too ><....I think Canada's Toys R Us just overprices pkmn merch since supply is low? And i tried a random gacha machine and got an Umbreon Chou for my first try xD! Kinda rare, but don't think I'm gonna sell it.....

Recently I've been taking a stroll down my old childhood/nostalgic route of fandoms but in the 21st century style (doesn't make sense I know). Like last sat I watched Metal Fushion Beyblade (or Metal Fight Beyblade) on YTV and it was hilarious xD!!!! The dubbing was bad for some characters and the pronounation of names like, "Key-yoo-yaaa" for kyouya a character in MF beyblade hahaha. Plus they had major violence even though it's just a game about spinning tops where characters would step on another's hands while they protected their bey (the new "hip" term for beyblades apparently >__>) or some "implied" profanity I think like Benkei always say "BULL BULL BULL BULLLL!" and another says, "CRABBBB BULLL!!!!" or maybe it's just me.....I find it amusing when they try to make the spinning tops have logic xD when they create tornadoes that destroy warehouses. And my bro pointed out that everywhere they go, there's a bey stadium o__O...on the mountains, in the beach, in the middle of town, you name it. They also call their bitbeasts "special moves"( more like cheating moves lol). Some kid show this is xD. (Oh and at my local Toys R Us they have a new display section selling beys hahaha.)

And I watched an episode of 5Ds afterwards expecting card games on motorcycles. I was disappointed that not all of their "duels" are on motorcycles. BUT, the episode afterwards had a duel on motorcycles so I watched that xD. The main chara Yuusei says, "Let's rev it up!" That's as hilarious as "Get your game on!" or "It's time to duel!" hahaha. Apparently it's a motorcycle term. But yeah...they sure take their card games seriously...ppl can get thrown off their motorcycles. And this show is violent for kids...they show gangs with bats and weapons running after kids to beat them up. The character Jack who's the "Kaiba" of the series even ties up his friend on a boat in the ocean and makes Yuusei swim to save the poor kid while Jack steals Yuusei's best card >__>...talk about desperate....

Guess that's all the ranting I have for now since I gotta run off to eat lunch before class starts in 30 min ><!
(I bet you were thinking, "What no reborn rants this time?" I would if I had the time xD)
