A Beach Ghost story

     

     It’s a place that no one knows;  a ghost without a name and a place to discover.

     This is a beach ghost story episode in Toradora; wherein Taiga and company found themselves lost (having Ami as the leader) in a scary cave on the beach as they decided to stage a haunt for Ryu to comfort Minorin (Ryu’s crush)(where they found out that he is afraid of ghosts).

Will their efforts get successful? Will they get out of this situation safely or will they be lost forever? Find out.

It's Ghost Fighting

     

     She had lived an ordinary life but because of her deceased mother’s journal (The Ghost Journal), her world turned from ordinary to a Ghost Stories.

Ghost stories don’t only contain stories about ghosts but also stories about family, love and some comic episodes.

     This is a story about Satsuki Miyanoshita as she fights and reseals ghosts that had been released because of Urbanization. Along the way,(together with Momoko, Keiichirou, Hijame, Reo, Kayoko and Amanojaku they’ll find out that they’ll fight not only to reseal the ghosts but also to redeem their safety as the danger envelope their town. And it is only up to them to stop the ghosts and regain the light.

Ghost Stories

Satsuki and Friends

Satsuki Minayoshita

     Getting in touch with the character of Ghost stories:

Satsuki Minayoshita is the main character in the story. She and her family moved to the hometown of her deceased mother and there she discovered that her mother is responsible for sealing several ghost in their town and now it is the time for her to do it to save her hometown.

     One of her very close friend Momoko Koigakubo, she is the brave friend of Satsuki and one of the people who accompanied Satsuki as they confront the ghosts. She also has a psychic connection with Satsuki’s mother, Kayoko who possessed her two times. Another is, Hajime Aoyama. Hajime is one of the most reliable friend of Satsuki and was the one who saved Satsuki many times along their journey. And soon in the story Hajime and Satsuki developed a secret crush for each other.

     Reo Kakinoki is the friend of Hajime who is so obsessed with paranormal themes and calls herself as a respected paranormal researcher but as he find paranormal clues it was always turned against him. Keiichirou, is the younger brother of Satsuki who is easily frightened but stand up whenever they fight against ghosts. The funny thing about him is that whenever she is frightened he’s speech becomes slurred and only his sister can understand him.

Amanojaku

     Lastly, Amanojaku . Amanojaku is one of the powerful entities in the story that helped Satsuki to reseal the ghosts. However, at first she refused to help but as the story goes, he learned to care and protect the gang. (He was accidentally sealed by Satsuki to her pet, Kaya)

A Creative Imagination

     Powers? Sorcere? Fairy? Forest? These are just some of the things that makes anime very popular especially when its context, drawings, story, approach and of course its character is unique.

     But I really wonder why and how the creators made these all possible. Is it because of their broad imagination? Is it because of their experiences? Is it because of their inspiration? I really don’t know why but if I will be given a chance to create my own anime, I will entitle it: Lost. Lost because it gives me different idea like loss of power, right, memory and many more but for me Lost means loss of direction, dreams, faith and hope. My story goes like this: there will be a girl who had lost its direction (to her life, dream, faith and hope). And one day, she’ll find a reason for her to face the future with one sticky direction to her not vague dreams; high level hopes and of course new found faith.

     It would be a fight not against a monster but a fight against life, lost, dream and future.

It's my Own Character

      Remember Sakura? Inuyasha? Katie? They had been remembered and had been so popular all around the globe and in the world of Anime, Right?

      How I’d like to be like them but I know it is impossible, so I just created my own anime character in a paper. Her name is Lavender, she is a 19 year old girl who continuously fighting for her freedom against her own mind (which limits her ability to do her work, criticizing herself). She has the ability to heal people with physical, mental and emotional problems. And every time she uses her power, she needed to redeem her energy through the use of a lavender flower. However because of a storm all the lavender flowers in their town had disappeared because of this she needed to find a place to regain her power and there she’ll find her destiny, Jelon.

Creepy, right? But I like it.

fruits in a show

Animals! Animals! Animals! (This is not a curse word. This is just what comes into my mind when I thought about “Fruits Basket”.) I’m not really fond of animals but after I watched this anime, I was crazily in love with animals (their furs and lovely eyes).

To those who have no idea on what I mean; Fruits Basket is an anime series Japanese shōjo manga series made by Natsuki Takaya and was soon directed by Akitaro Daichi. 

This is a story about Tohru Honda who meet some of the members of the Sohma family (which were part of the thirteen members of the Sohma family who are possessed by the animals of the Chinese zodiac (十二支 Jūnishi?); they are cursed to turn into their animal forms when they are weak or when they are embraced by anyone of the opposite sex (that is not possessed by a zodiacal spirit).

This anime is really cool because of its twists and turns. So to those who have not yet seen this anime, you’re missing so much. 

An Idol Journey

Are you dreaming to be an actress, an actor, a TV personality or an idol? If yes, you must not miss the different episodes in Kirarin Revolution or Kirain (Kirarin is a Japanese shōjo manga created by An Nakahara). 

Kirarin is the main character in the anime series, at first she only cares about food, food and food and was never interested of being an idol or to be loved, however because of an incident her destiny changed.

She was befriend to Seiji, a handsome and gentle boy (and one of the member of the Ships), after saving a Seiji’s turtle that was stranded in a tree. And because of gratitude Seiji gave her a ticket for the concert of the Ships, and there, Kirarin met Hiroto (the Second member of the Ships).

There all started her dream to be an idol (in order to be part of Seiji’s world) and a whole round trip of twists and turns on friendship, love and dream.

This anime is very cute because of its stories and of course, of its characters. You may learn here many things on how to be an idol and how they work with discipline and joy. 

This is a must anime for you because it may help you to gain insights and life long journey as you find your own idol journey.

Enjoy watching Kirarin Revolution! Aja!

Live life how you want it to, because it’s 

up to you how you will be a SOMEONE someday (become someone you dreamed of).

They're coming back

Hi, anime fanatics! I have some good news for you. Remember Sailor Pluto, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Saturn? Remember? They are the main characters in Sailor Moon. Want to know why I mentioned them? It is because after 20 years they were created (by Naoko Takeuchi back in the year 1992), they are back and will return with a new anime debut in the Summer in 2013.

After capturing the hearts of millions of Sailor Moon fans, they are back with new adventures and episodes that will capture only the hearts of every child but also their older fans.

Sooner or later, it will be spread out not only in Japan but all over the globe. So let’s be excited to meet the Pretty Guardians in the Sailor Moon soon.

Doraemon

Have you ever imagine if Doraemon was really born/ made /landed in the Philippines? Can you envision/picture/visualize what will happen if every household has a Doraemon?

 (I’ve been thinking about it ever since I was a child, because I was enjoying to the idea that the pocket of Doraemon have an endless (I mean endless) source of cool gadgets that can make us fly, grow, invisible, go in other world and make the time grew fast. It’s really wonderful right?)

 I think, if every household has a 

Doraemon their life (I mean our life) would be so much easy because of his gadgets. However, there’s a 99% possibility that some of us Filipinos may become too lazy to work and give our 100%, because of the idea that we have Doraemon to do our work done and help us I mean do our job.

Living objects

Hi guys! I’m here again. (I’m at the office of my friend as I write this entry and preparing for our soccer match for our Intrams). Even though the soccer thing occupies half of my brain, still this curiosity about anime sinks in)

Are you a fan of Anime? If yes, can you identify sum of the special objects of some of the stories of anime evolve? Yes? No? (Don’t worry; it’s just my vivid eyesight that notices these things.) Have you notice it too? Have you notice:

The    in Mirumo?

The    in Card Captor Sakura?

The    in Yu-Gi-Oh?

The    in Bakugan?

The    in Pokemon?

The    in Doraemon?

And many others.

Have you notice them all? If not, try to find other things you noticed as you watched anime and after that let me know about it.

It's my memory and a Mirmo thing

The wind touches my hair as I sat down under a tree. It’s really cool to just sit down, relax and reminisce some of my favorite characters and episodes of every anime I’d watched. And as I recall everything, I can’t stop smiling because the things that I can only remember were those anime with genres about love, friendship and humor.

Can you remember Mirumo de pon or Mirmo? (For me, it’s really cool, my heart skips a beat especially when Dylan Yuki appears and because of its stories and how mirmo strive harder to grant Katie Minami’s wish-to made Dylan love her).

Can you remember it? How Katie Minami and Azumi Hidaka compete to win Dylan’s Heart and of course besides the story of love; there were also about friendship (Mirmo and Katie, Rima and Dylan, Murumo (Mirmo’s Brother) and Kyle Matsutake, Yatch (Mirmo's muglox archrival) and Azumi; and the human world and Muglox World.)

Oh my gosh! After I’d watched it, I can’t help wishing that one day, I would have the same mug that the characters of Mirumo de pon or Mirmo had. (Please, tell me where to find that kind of mug because, because of that single mug the life of the characters in Mirumo de pon or Mirmo had changed.

And to those who don’t have any hint or idea of what Mirumo de pon or Mirmo is, here’s the catch: it is a manga series written by Hiromu Shinozuka. Its story is about mugloxes or love fairies and Four teenagers in the human world (and one of those mugloxes (Mirmo) has been assigned to grant Katie’s wish).

 It’s really a wonderful thing to watch because by watching it you will not only enjoy it but you’ll going to learn from it as well.

The characters:

it's Azumi-Azumi Hidaka and Yatch

it's Katie-Katie Minami and Mirmo

it's crying Kyle- Kyle Matsutake and Mirumo

It's Dylan-Dylan Yuki and Rima

 This is a reaction of your friend after you said " I can’t believe I ate the whole thing"- (1966) Alka-Seltzer.

it's really funny when you will see your friend reacting like Jiraiya of Naruto. *(According to the wikipedia, grew up in the village of Konohagakure under the tutelage of the Hiruzen Sarutobi. As he grew older, Jiraiya and his two teammates,Orochimaru and Tsunade, collectively became known as the "Legendary Sannin" (伝説の三忍 Densetsu no Sannin?) owing to their exemplary ninja abilities allowing them to endure a fight against Hanzou the Salamander during the Second Shinobi War.  Jiraiya periodically leaves his hometown to explore the world.
Jiraiya thought his inability to keep Orochimaru from becoming a criminal made him feel unworthy of the responsibility as he resolved to instead keep an eye on both him and the Akatsuki.) right???

Imagine your friend. Now, can you see it? so now, will you agree like how Jiraiya did. ( look at the picture below. Agree?)

it's not really a monster. It's just Jiraiya

Anime can be "ENDORSERS", right?

"Got some milk?" - California Milk Processor Board
Can you recognize this blond guy?
yes/ or no? It's Edwars Elric,  the main character of theFullmetal Alchemist anime and manga series created by Hiromu Arakawa. Wondering why he is looking at the milk in front of him? if yes, then you must watch this episode. Maybe, this episode is not the most important episode in full metal Alchemist but this episode could create a curios part in you, on why Edward does not grow any taller and i guess most of you can really love this anime especially the episode.

a Rate that No One Knows

     Second best, third best but I know you aim higher, right? But what if even you strived harder, you’re still the second best; will you lose hope? Will you give up? Or will you pack your bags and give everything you’ve got to be the best one?

     I know it’s hard to aim higher and strive harder if you fail every time you try or got it perfectly but still the second best. In this kind of situation, think about Hikari in Special A and how she strives harder even if she fails. She’s always the second best even though she tried so much and does everything she can do but she never lose hope nor give up. She did everything except from cheating and quitting. I don’t her reasons from doing so (may be because of her dream, past or because of Kay) but all I know is that she has faith, belief and aspirations.

     Now think about yourself and ask yourself: will I do the same? Will I do everything for my dreams? Will I continue striving harder? Will I continue even everybody turn me down? For me, I will continue because it is my dream not my family’s dream, friend’s dream, or other people’s dream; it is MY dream. And for my dream will do everything about it.

     I know I’m not good in Mathematics, Science and Grammar, but I’m good in Filipino, Scriptwriting and MAPeH and even in Recess (break not for food but for good reasons).

A decision that could change the world

     “First you must decide, and then follow through. I believe that’s the only way you can get anything accomplished” –Laeus of Gundam Seed

     This line could be the quote of your life; Laeus is right, a person must decide first on what they want (whether it is about love, commitment, family, dreams, job or anything that can change your life. Deciding is the only way you could commit, because if you have decided to do something you’ll be determined to hold unto it and you’ll be inspired. So DECIDE. Of course, after deciding; detail by detail do the things that will help you to achieve what you have decided. Start from small tasks and when you are ready take the big ones. For an example you decided to be a writer; write every (may it be a quick composition or compositions that needs more time and effort), write anything you want without boundaries; then after that, try to join essay writing contests, publications or any contests that can hone you r talent and capabilities and dreams. Take risks and don’t lose hope. If you fail, try again and strive harder, because God gives opportunities generously to those who have patience, faith, belief and offers their time, treasure and talent. If you lose interest; ask yourself: are you ready to give up or not? If not yet, strive harder and aim higher; but if yes, then look for your real dream.

     Of course before doing the things above, the important thing to do is to believe in yourself and on what you can do. If you don’t or can’t believe in yourself then:

     “Don’t believe in yourself, believe in me who believes in you”-Kamina (Tengen Toppa Gukken Lagann)

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED?

            Titles and branding are important especially if you wanted to make your product and ideas to reach stardom. Right? However, every title that each movie has means something (something that only few knew.)

            Did you know the story or meaning behind the title of Yamato Nadeshiko? If not, scroll down. If 

Yamato Nadeshiko

yes, then close the page and find some other interesting topic or probably you may also read this one.

   Did you know that the meaning of Yamato Nadeshiko is somewhat far from what the story tells us? However, there are also certain meanings that connect to the context of the story.

            So if you want to know more about it you may Read it and seek.

            According to Kenkyusha’s Japanese-English Dictionary (5^th edition, 2003), Yamato Nadeshiko means an “Ideal woman” and from Daijirin Dictionary (3^rd Ed.) it was defined as a figure of speech for the beauty of Japanese women who are neat and tidy”.

            It was also known as an ideal Japanese Woman per Confucianism wherein they must act for the benefit of her family and following instructions or acting in the best interest of patriarchal authority figures. 

            They must be a devoted wife to their husband. She must never oppose to him even though she knew that he was wrong. They must be gentle and delicate but also be able to endure all the pain and poverty if life.

            However, Yamato Nadeshiko also means the name of a flower known “Fringed Pink” or Dianthus Superbus; it is a small, common but easily distinguishable flower which grows wild.

            Now, can you recognize or identify why Yama to Nadeshiko was the title of the love story of Sunako or Kyouhei or you are also puzzled up like me?

Think about it. 

Nadeshiko or Frilled Pink Carnation/ "Fringed Pink"

Impossibly Alone

                Have you ever loved someone before? A love that even time can’t erase; a love that made your life worth living? If yes, did it end up happy? Or it just shuttered your dreams, love and life?

            If it was the latter, well, did you live like Sunako did? Or you just turn away and said “it doesn’t matter whether he loves me or not. I’ll just love him the way I wanted”.

Sunako or we may call her the " Pretty Weird"

            Have you ever come across the shuttered love story of Sunako entitled Yamato Nadeshiko? (However, even though her heart was shuttered, one person crossed her life and changed everything.). The story of Sunako Was like this: it was the first time when she had fallen in love with someone whom she showered all the things that she really loved; however this guy did loved him in return, instead he left her with pain, sorrow and shuttered heart. And since then, she changed from a blooming flower to a weird wild one.

            Because of the pain she had suffered she changed entirely, that whenever she saw a handsome guy she bleeds (in the nose) and saw bright lights. And this caused her auntie to find a way to return her back.

            And as an answer, she allowed four guys to stay on her mansion (free of charge) and as a payment they must bring back what Sunako was before. Even it went along way, little by little Sunako was starting to change and it was because of the four guys specially Kyouhei (her Leading man in the story). And as the story goes Sunako and Kyouhei find each other as important part of their life.

            Love. Love. Love. It’s really true that whenever someone left you there’s another person that will come and hold you just the way you wanted. It’s not about how it was painful; instead it’s about what you have learned to that pain and how you used it to make your life better.

          I know and we know that its really painful and may leave a scar but remember to learn you must feel the pain. And never worry because God has always a plan for us. In God’s time you’ll find the right one.

It must be love
