My Secret Place

New Layout YES!

2012-01-19T19:21:00.001-08:00

Hi people.. My blog is not dead yet, and I've actually revamp it :D It's been a year since I last posted I guess., Anyway, I've decided to change my blog from person to fandom blog. I have a blog hosted at my domain, but it's more personal and I also use livejournal for my more personal post.

Anyway, I'll post more info about the recent manga, games, and anime I have been watching on this blog. :)

I've been playing Amnesia this week, and I really like Ikki's character and so the layout. haha.

I think I have what you call Insomnia

2010-11-06T03:03:00.000-07:00

So I was working on my school project until 1am and remembered to call my relatives from Philippines. yeah, I was born in the Philippines and pretty much proud of it now that I am living in Canada.. :) Anyway, it's already 3:00am and I can't still sleep, so I decided to e-mail my uncle and aunt telling them that I couldn't contact them; I was trying to contact them for about an hour and then gave up.

So whats gotten into me and decided to go back with blogging?? I actually moved my blog to my domain aminuet as a subdomain but deleted it after some months.. Blogger is always there whenever I feel like blogging so I guess I will stick with it and my livejournal as well. Put that aside, I really couldn't sleep nowadays and I am also sick since winter is coming soon. It's really cold and then gets warm. The weather is crazy, I want to kick its ass soon!

So I am officially back in blogger but probably won't be online as much since I am busy with my life. I don't plan to post every day also since I don't do it even if I told myself I would. I also am not blogging about any specific subjects. This is just a normal boring random blog. I will blog anything that comes to my mind. I don't care if it is about my life or what I see or what I hear. Just about anything. I don't really blog about my life, probably like my life in general. I won't care about my grammar and spelling as well since this blog is the "I-don't-care-and-just-write".

Also, I am not crushing with anyone right now. I like someone before, that guy I often see in the bus with me who lives near my house. Unfortunately, I only see him once a week when I go home at 4:00pm every tuesday, but my schedule for Tuesday changed last month, so I don't see him anymore. I don't plan on dating him anyway since he is not really my type.

This is what you call "The-Start-A-Paragraph-With-'SO'".. and I did that on purpose!?!

new addiction - J-Dolama

2010-11-05T20:03:00.000-07:00

I just finished watching Mei-chan no Shitsuji, and now I'm addicted with it. It was so good. I actually finished it last night and watch almost 5 episodes @.@ The actor who plays Shibata Rihito is Hiro Mazushima and he has such a gorgeous voice. Unfortunately, he's married and he just quitted acting to pursue writing. sad. I actually hated him in the series Absolute Boyfriend when he played Soshi Asamoto. He wasn't attractive there, good thing he landed playing as Shibata Rihito :D I also applied for the fanlisting of the character Shibata Rihito since I want to have a fanlisting of him. I also checked the series' dvd box set in amazon.co.jp and it's so expensive.. it costs $250 us dollars. I don't think I could buy that right away. Maybe when I graduated.. hahaha~

I want a butler too.. a tall petite asian dude with a princely kind of manner to be exact.. and we'll have our own FORBIDDEN LOVE ♥ keeeyaaaaah.. *nosebleed*

I've got stuffs to do:
- ~~finish cleaning my room~~
- finish my lighting with my 3d group environment
- Texture assignment
- Compositing assignment
- Update my car

D: 5 more months and I could get my freedom back.. hehehe..

Edward is love

2010-05-12T17:40:00.000-07:00

Hey ho everyone,~ I read the Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 107 like 2 days ago, and I can't stop myself from blogging my thoughts about it. I am actually at school right now, and we have 3 hours break in between our subjects. Anyway, there are of course a LOT of spoilers on this post and I will probably be very random. I actually don't read FMA online, I buy the books and wait for it, but then I just can't stop to spoil myself, so 2 days ago, I decided to read it online and my gawd! Edward was so cool as ever. The super enemy, "father", turned into an Edward Elric mean version. I won't talk about what mainly happened like when Roy Mustang gone blind and Bradley was killed by Scar. I'll be mainly talking about Edward Elric and my Edward Elric website. So anyway, Edward lost his automail arm from the explosive that "Father" did and he was about to be killed, but unfortunately, Alphonse's soul was nearly leaving his armored body, and he requested May Chang to make a transmutation circle around Edward's lost arm. Alphonse transmuted himself to bring back his brother's arm by going to the door to see the TRUTH. His last words were "brother, win" And yay, Alphonse is now back in his body with his skinny butt. After Edward received his arm, he was so mad that he punched "Father" so hard and he was so cool!! You know how Ed's usual angry face is when he fights right? I love that a lot.! When everyone saw that Edward's punches, kicks, and alchemy are working on "Father", everyone one of them are cheering for him. "Fight! Kick his butt shorty!! Fullmetal!!" The scenes were so amazing that my adoration for Edward and Hiromu Arakawa grew more, and Alphonse is now one of my favorite characters!! In the last part of the chapter, Edward said to "Father": "Get up! you miserable scum. It's time you learn why you're not in our league!" Edward Elric is love!! It's been 6 years since I started making him as my number one favorite character, and until now, of course he is my number one!

I actually have an Edward Elric Website, and it was already released for viewing twice, but since I just read the recent chapters of Fullmetal Alchemist, I decided to finish the whole site and add more information, and I will be making a one page tribute for Alphonse Elric. It won't be open for a while since I am a bit busy with school and work. I'm updating the site whenever I have some spare time at home, so I guess I am able to finish it this year. That's about it I guess, I should return to my homework :D

My busy days

2010-05-08T19:29:00.000-07:00

I will be pretty much randomly blogging right now. I don't have a specific subject to blog about, but just want to update my blogs. I am currently addicted with Watanuki Kimihiro all over again, and the ending song from the newest xxxHolic movie, xxxHolic Rou's Kaza Nagi. I currently have 1-7 of xxxholic manga and 1-10 of tsubasa manga. Both xxxholic and Tsubasa have a seriously expensive price for just one cover, well probably because they are published by Del Rey. OMGee, I'm blabbing about manga and anime again, let us put that aside or probably on the latter part of this post. So I started school like 2 weeks ago, and now, I have a full stack of homeworks and projects and exams on my head. Seriously, we are going to have an exam about the proper tools of photoshop CS4. @.@ What makes me happy and nervous at the same time is that all my teachers are perfectionist! I never thought that Digital Arts will be harder than Fine Arts. I remember when I was still in my home country, Philippines, I was taking up Fine Arts in Far Eastern University in Manila, and I was seriously just having fun and not taking the course seriously! Well, heck, I was even voted as the student class president for my class. In the end of the course, I was not happy about my Math and Filipino grades, but I got 1.70 as my over all grade. I think 3.00 is passing and 5.00 is failed, from the grading system in the Philippines. Here in Canada, 4 is the highest though. LOL.. reverse. I haven't finished my 3d head for my 3d design tomorrow, I will definitely finish it early tonight. I hate procrastinating! Sunday is tomorrow, and I have a whole day class. It's even mothers day, I feel bad for not being able to be with the hero of my life, my mom on her special day.

I'm really excited because I added new anime songs in my ipod, it's been a year since I last updated the songs in Edward [my ipod's name]. Well, most of my stuffs are named Edward. hahaha.. If I were to have a son, Edward will definitely be his name. Well, that would be years from now anyway. Back to school, both of my 3d Animation and Traditional 2d class have the same lesson last week; Bouncing Ball Animation.! It was definitely fun with 3d, but it's a bit confusing with Traditional 2d. When I finished both my homework, I will put it in a video and post it in my blogs :D By the way, I was accepted to adopt the fanlisting for May Chang, the cute girl from FMA, and the relationship fanlisting for Tsuna and Reborn. :D Nuriko and Major General Armstrong are currently in adoption as well. I am still thinking about if I am going to apply or not because there are 2 more fanlistings that are tempting me. :) I am not sure to apply yet because I am pretty busy right now. My icon is my current mood right now =.=

First Day

2010-04-26T18:54:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was my first day of school, it went really well, but it seems that there are not much students there. Animation is freakin' hard! Seriously, first day of school and what we did is that our teacher taught us the tools and how to use Maya 2010. It was seriously hard, but I guess I will get used to it soon. I actually want to have the Maya software but when I looked at the price, it costs $3,500 +. My gawd! It's so expensive. Maya is used for movies like Avatar, District 9, and more. I'm kinda bored and tired for today, so I guess this is all my post. If there is someone there who is so nice who would buy me a Maya software, then contact me at violin[at]aminuet.com :D

Random // School and Movie

2010-04-25T16:22:00.000-07:00

So I watched The Lovely Bones last night, and I was really bored half of the movie. What pisses me off was the ending [spoilers ahead], seriously, why did the girl [already dead] chose to be kissed and flirt while her body is being dragged 6 feet under by her killer while her parents still can't find her body. To make it clear, here is a little bit info about the story: There was this creepy old guy who asked the girl [Susie Salmon] to check the "room" that he had built 6 feet under. Actually, at first Susie declined the invitation, but she was gullible and followed the old guy instead. When she was there, she felt that there is something wrong. Of course it does, and she was raped and killed. Before she died, she and her crush was about to kiss but was interupted by their teacher, so they decided to see each other in the mall. Anyway, the art and graphics of the movie was great, but the story itself just doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, I had my first day in college [again] today, and seriously, Animation is freakin' hard.! I hope I will get more used to the softwares that we are using, and about to use. Can't wait for my traditional subject on tuesday! I am really tired and I just want to watch a movie with my parents today, so this is my post for now. I am planning on going to the art museum tomorrow as well.

Rejected // Uruki Fanlistings

2010-04-08T12:13:00.000-07:00

So last month, I think it was last month when I applied for the fanlisting of Uruki Rimudo Roun from the manga Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden which was in adoption. Sadly, I just received the rejection mail that I am not able to make the fanlisting for Uruki. I'm pretty bummed about this. Before long, I got rejected to adopt the fanlisting for Kyo Sohma of Fruits Basket too, and was rejected with the series of Kuroshitsuji. I had a lot of rejection after that. But! I had one character that was in my wishlist which is Death the Kid. The previous owner allowed me to make a fanlisting for him. It was really a dream come true for me, and was overjoyed about it. I am now waiting for another letter from a fanlisting owner if she will reject me or not. I don't really know, I just hope this time my dream will come true. The character is in my wishlist. I really love him :)

Kibumie Back to School

2010-04-07T17:09:00.000-07:00

So two more weeks and I will be going back to College. I am terribly excited and horribly irritated, but seriously, I am really in bliss, for I will be going to school again. It's been 4 months since I am out from school because the course that I first applied wasn't really the one that I want, and it was after a week that I saw the course that I want to take. I have to go back and redo the application and get an interview and stuff. The interview really went well, and I am really happy that the interview [my future teacher] was impressed with I. I have already paid my fees [which felt so hard to part with your own money] and bought the said materials, except for books. I will buy my books soon. The funny thing is that when I graduated high school, I actually received a small scholarship for College, but I totally forgot to show it when I was paying my fees, so I will use it next semester instead. This is the second time that I am attending College. The first one was in the Philippines where I took Fine Arts majoring in Advertising in Far Eastern University, but luck came and our visa for Canada came out when I just turned 17. I wasn't able to finish the whole year and when I came to Canada, I have to take Grades 11 and 12 to be able to go to College and Universities. In the Philippines 4th year high school equals to Grade 10 in Canada only, and in Colleges and Universities, you really need to have Grade 12 to enter. Anyway, I have finished that, but I was late for application last year. So I took different kinds of courses and applied to my dream school.

Let's go back from the start, why am I terribly excited? Well it is new! Brand new school and my dream school. Why the word terrible? Because of the money that I have to pay. My gawd, it's so expensive. It really mean that I really have to do my best to the fullest. Why irritated? I have to minimize the time I spent on anime and manga, and also in web designing. I will pretty much be out most of the time. But the overall feelings that I currently have is really happy because the school that I will be studying in is my dream school. Unlike in the Philippines, I wanted to study in University of the East [I got accepted right away], but my mom insisted that I should go to Far Eastern University. huhu. That's why now, I am really glad that I am able to go to the school that I want.

I'm missing Imeem :(

2010-04-07T14:30:00.001-07:00

First things first, What is imeem? Imeem is a music community where you can watch and listen to any kind of music. You will have your own profile where you can upload music, videos, and photos. You can also make a community group where other people can join. I have a lot of net buddies there and currently Imeem closed. It's been a year since I last updated and saw my account, I think Imeem was bought by myspace.

Anyway, It's just so sad that Imeem is gone, I miss my account seriously. huhuhu.. I have been looking for a music playlist site but still for me, Imeem is still the best. Speaking of Imeem, the header and layout that I am currently using is my imeem theme. This theme is probably a year old already, and I still love it. :D I love green because it's the color of money. Anyway, this is pretty much my layout before, I just edited the colors and images. I think I did this about 20 min only. I received an email from a person telling me that she is currently using the Kimi Ni Todoke theme. I'm the kind of person who always wants to be different, that's why I changed my layout.. the appearance I mean. :D

Well, that's about it. I have to finish some layouts that I am planning to sell.

Crazy Kibumie - TRC layouts

2010-04-06T20:39:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone~ This post is going to be very random so I am just informing you at the start. Sorry I wasn't able to post something 2 days ago. Last Sunday, I went to the mall :D with my parents of course. I would like to treat them, and I was actually wanting to buy my mom a blouse but she insisted not to. I bought lots of manga again, and I have Kuroshitsuji volume 1 now :D I bought shoes too, a Puma and a Hush Puppies. I bought one jacket and a blouse from Esprit because I need a jacket and clothes for school, especially shoes.

Instead of watching a movie or buying my parents something, they told me that we should just eat dinner from a restaurant. We ate dinner in a Japanese restaurant. The bill was exceptionally expensive, I told my parents that we should have eaten in a french restaurant or other, but my mom said that that was the most delicious california maki that she ever tasted. That made me really happy.

Tonight, I just finished 2 Tsubasa Chronicles Layouts. One is for blogger and one is for self use. Preview for the blogger layout here and preview for the plain one here. You may download them in my graphic site called AMthird.

I watched This is it! Michael Jackson's movie, and my gawd, I really regret not watching it from the movies. He was really good especially in the end :)

Am so tired.. ranting =3=

2010-04-03T21:49:00.000-07:00

My gawd!! I'm so freakin' tired right now. This morning, I told myself that I will watch Bleach after I return from work, but I'm so freakin' tired. Since my school will start on April 5, I have 4 days of free time for work. Usually they will give me 3 days or 2 days of work per week with 4 to 7 hours. This is actually my first job and I am working part time. Erm.. my salary is really low because its my first job. Last week I worked for 3 days, and this week also and they are giving me 7 hours of work every time. Well, I should be happy about it because I will earn more money, but seriously, my salary doesn't cost a lot it's like I'm just wasting my time. haha.. But, I work for the sake of getting something to put on my resume hah! and for the sake of buying more manga rather than wasting my allowance. Since I started working, I don't ask for money from my parents anymore. Last Christmas, I actually spent $800 @.@ I spent $400 for my mom and dad's gifts, and spend the other $400 for myself and bought a PSP. so pretty much I am happy with my salary, but not with job. hahaha.. I'm just waiting for me to get a 6 or 8 month experience from this job and then I'll quit to get a better salary and job. I don't plan staying there for a long time. XD

I'm actually volunteering too, as a graphic designer for the cancer society of Canada. It's a big society and I was really honored to be accepted as a volunteer. :D Though I haven't finished the current project they gave me 3 days ago. hah!

Animu post: WAH!! Kimi ni Todoke anime just finished this week. I'm so sad, I won't be able to see my dear Kazehaya moving and laughing anymore, but I like him more in the manga though, the drawing style, I mean. Did you know that the series is going to be a live action movie soon [this year], but seriously, the guy playing Kazehaya is not handsome. huhu.. I don't think I am going to watch it though.. hehe.. I'm against it!!

Durarara!! Masaomi Kida fanlisting

2010-04-02T16:33:00.001-07:00

And again, I have finished another approved fanlisting :D From the approval of the animefanlistings.org, I got accepted to make a fanlisting for my favorite Durarara!! character Masaomi Kida. Gawd, I am really happy right now. I actually thought that I may not get accepted because there are a lot of fanlisting owners applying for Durarara!! fanlistings. You may view the brand new fanlisting by clicking the button below :D

What is a fanlisting? A fanlisting is a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join. Fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject. - TAFL

I am really happy right now. I actually applied for 2 adoptions and 1 [fanlisting removed]. I'm really freaking out because one of the fanlisting that I applied for is my top 2 favorite character of all time. Huhuhu.. I already know how it feels to get a rejection letter from your favorite character of all time. I really showed how much I love the character too. I actually experienced getting a rejection letter lots of times, and I really do my best to take care of my fanlistings. =3= That's about it for now I guess. :D

Slurp.. yum.. noodles..

2010-04-01T11:34:00.000-07:00

How do you eat your noodles?? Do you use chopsticks and then drink the soup from the cup like a nihonji? or use a fork and a spoon? This morning, I was looking for food to eat for breakfast, then I heard my mom knocking from our entrance door. She bought 10 noodles. I cooked one and it was cooked so fast. It's really handy, but it's unhealthy. Lot's of preservaties and carbs are in one pack of noodles. Noodles are fried first before they pack it, that's why there are already a lot of oils. After you eat one, you will feel like your mouth is so thick and very oily right?

Anyway, I usually eat noodles in the morning. If I eat one in the evening and in the afternoon, I will feel so sleepy and I usually get a bad dream on which I can't wake up. Like it feels like your already awake but you can't move your body. It means that your brain is already awake, but your body is still asleep. I like noodles with little amount of beef crumps. It taste good and it's like your playing with it. Capturing all the beef before you ate all the noodles. LOL.

Last night, I read Ouran High School Host Club volume 3. Whenever I reread the manga, it always makes me laugh so hard especially Tamaki and the twins. I think, on the first chapter of Ouran, Tamaki has a different attitude, it changed in Chapter 2. Maybe the author thought that it would be more funny if Tamaki is an idiot than just a narcissist. I think it went well because the series is really popular nowadays. I have a lot of manga that are released already but I haven't bought yet, probably four. haha.. Well that's about it I guess, I have to go to my part time job :D

Hey!! I just remembered todays is April 1 [remembering Watanuki Kimihiro]! April Fools!!

Blogging Nostalgia

2010-03-31T20:20:00.000-07:00

So this 2 hours, I have been wondering around blogspot looking at other people's blog. I kinda wanna laugh right now because I really remember the things that I did with my first blogspot account. I remember mostly changing my layout every week for the sake of perfecting and making it look more cute and interesting. What I learned this past year is that you really don't need to have a pretty layout, the content is the important stuff. But there are always some people who really make pretty layout for the sake of their own hobby just like me. I don't change my layout every time anymore, maybe because I already like how my layouts end up so I am fine with it.

I remember putting all the stuffs on the sidebar like counter, joined fanlisting, music, about me, and more. Seriously, In my opinion, what is the counter for? Some people has like 555,555,555 visitors, and my gawd that would really freak me out. They must have been a blogger for 10 years already and making a lot of money. I would probably in pressure if I have that amount of visitors reading my posts. heh..

While checking out other blogger's site, I find a mass number of 10 -14 years old blogging already. I think it is a good idea to start early, but some of them like post their whole name and even address on their page. Kids, you should be careful alright! Blogging is not 100% safe. There are a lot of bad [don't wanna be specific] people who usually lie about their age [ex they say they are 12, but actually they are already 34] and stalk young teens or teens. I started blogging when I was already nearly 18, and I already know how to keep my identity safe like using pen names.

Icons, are also a must in blogging. LOL. for me though. I love using icons, especially if it shows your current mood right? Layouts, a lot of people are tweaking and editing their own layouts nowadays. I'm beginning to see how old I am right now. hahaha.

Strobe Edge Manga

2010-03-31T15:43:00.000-07:00

Seriously, if I guy doesn't like you then move on. I remember checking out this manga for updates that I started reading few months ago. The manga is called Strobe Edge, about a girl being inlove with some guy who already has a girlfriend. At first, as I recall, the girl didn't have any idea that the guy has a girlfriend already.

As the series went on, the guy, in my opinion, is already falling in love with her because they are somewhat a like in personality and interests. The "girlfriend" is now getting more insecure and taking actions about those two. and it is still ongoing..

I kinda like the plot of the series because of unrequited love, and usually shoujo drama romance manga has a plot about a hunky popular guy and a not-so-pretty girl. What I hate about this is that the guy might commit adultery.. lol that's too much. He should just tell the "girlfriend", who is busy being a model, to butt out already because he doesn't have anymore feelings towards her. hahaha.. meanie.. What I think about the girlfriend is that she doesn't have any feelings for the guy anymore, I think she just love "the thought of him as his boyfriend", but not really in love. The guy on the other hand, is holding on to his girlfriend because he feels that he is indebted to her. And the female protagonist is really in love with the guy I guess, and she's really cute. ♥

I'm just randomly ranting here :D Try reading the manga, you might enjoy it!

Reborn~ there and back again

2010-03-31T14:14:00.000-07:00

Yay! I'm back blogging on blogger :D It all started here and after a year, I decided to go back and blog here again. This is probably my 5th blog of all time. hahaha. Since imeem [a music communty] closed, I thought about how I can contact my previous imeem buddies, and then I realize that some of them has blogs here in blogger, so maybe I can meet them again I guess.

I am using a layout from amthird my graphic resource site. It looks so simple yeah? and pinkush.. I actually spend most of my time on the header because I have to color it to make it pretty. The image is from a scan from the manga in chapter 42 I guess. Ah.. Kazehaya is so dreamy.. *Kibumie in bishie heaven*

My main blog is on my main site which is Peptropolis, and I have a blog in livejournal [applemana is the name], and on dreamwidth.org.. ermm.. don't use it that much. My livejournal is a necessity blog for my fanlistings because most of the fanlisting owners are there and there are a lot of fanlisting communities there as well. that's it for now I guess.. off to friend hunting :D
