One ferrero rocher a day keeps the blues away

but it also gives you an ulcer if you don't drink enough water

Yes.. i'm still thinking about the Tokyo Babylon manga i was so close to getting. The brilliant colours were so tempting.. Subaru... T__T I wonder if i'll find all 7 books in the traditional edition at kino. I spotted the english version published by another company at kino early this year but the cover art was not as nice. And they cost bombs =(

Syf is just 2 weeks away and the 1st rehearsal is this coming friday. I'll need to get court shoes by wednesday howhow!?

Of a fangirl's ramblings and strange reactions-- Tokyo Babylon

"If you and I should ever meet again, let us live together for one year. My heart is the direct inverse of yours... you are kind, pure, and honest. And I'm sure that is how you will continue to grow up. Your heart will remain pure. So, if we should ever meet again, I will try my hardest to learn to love you. Just for one year... and after that year, if I can consider you "special", you will have won and I will not kill you. But if I decide that I cannot consider you special to me -- if I cannot distinguish the difference between you and that corpse, then... I will kill you. And so today... I will let you go."

Taken from wiki, what seishiro said to subaru.

Do you sense the beginning of a tragedy...?

CLAMP likes to play with the notion of betrayal. I don't know what it is that makes me so sad when reading X or Tokyo Babylon. Maybe it's what the characters experience which cause them to change so much. I feel terrible when such a thing happens. Sure, it's a good thing to grow and mature mentally but in the case of X and Tokyo babylon, i feel terrible after seeing these changes in the protagonists. Like how a compassionate and innocent boy turns to a angsty teen full of vengence for someone he loves(yes, present tense). Or even the other way round when a heartless and powerful guy learns to care for people around him. Because the heartless killer loses his 'invincibility' and becomes affected by others, often getting hurt or even dying in the end.

I'm a selfish and self-contradictory fangirl, am i not? T__T

After reading so much CLAMP stuff these few days i can feel my angst level rising. D**n the CLAMP world is such a cruel and complicated place. And omg i'm exposing myself to alot of shounen ai. Because i'm also rewatching prince of tennis anime. You know lah.. a team of good looking guys playing tennis. Sure to have some hints here and there. This is terrible cos when i come across such a scene, be it in CLAMP manga or POT anime, unprepared, i seriously get a shock and cringe involuntarily. The cringe often comes together with a gasp of real terror. Like when someone taps you on your shoulders while you're concentrating hard on something else. The sound which i make is more solid than a gasp, not as high pitched as a scream and softer than a shout. Go figure.

Scenario 1: On the living room sofa reading X manga while mum, also on the sofa, watches tv

Me: (gets to a part where Fuma does something 'bad' to Kamui) AAAAHHhhhhhh *shudders and shakes the whole sofa*

Mum: OI YOU CRAZY ARH

This is the cue for me to go back to my room to read cos mum will start poking me with her feet until i move somewhere else.

Wow, wordy post but i feel better after typing all these. Stay tuned to photos of bishies from the manga in the next post =D

Starving X Tokyo Babylon vs Siddhartha?!

I'm in a relatively better mood today haha. Maybe because i did more than my fair share of stonning at grandparents house yesterday. We 'laoed yusheng' and mum kept dropping carrot strands and sauce on my hand. Even though we were supposed to add raw slices of fish to the vegies (thus the name), my mum refused to. She's had bad experiences from eating raw fish ahaha. Like mother, like daughter =D though my bad experiences didn't come from eating those disgusting creatures.

Urgh X_X something just happened and now i'm so scared i can hardly type. Ok, nevermind, please ignore the previous sentence. I need to find time to catch up with new anime series! Guess how long i've not watched my trinity blood or read any manga. Well, since i have the time now i shall read a chapter of tokyo babylon. By clamp. Pretty old, but it still features the clamp style of drawing which i'm so smitten with.
Interesting fact: Tokyo babylon was produced by CLAMP in year 1991. Subaru was 16 years old then.

Lol Subaru, Siddhartha pwns you cos he can speak om soundlessly

But i think Subaru should win in terms of looks.

This is sparstic =l
