changes in my life

Mom came unexpectedly, we're moving to another apartment again, I've got a whole new diet plan, Tita Ellen's going away, and the next semester is coming soon. *sigh* Recap mode! This time, WITH PICS! =D

Oct. 17
My mom came. I was at Chamie's and then I called home to tell Tita Ellen that I'll be going home in just a bit. She said it was urgent that I should come home right away. I asked why and she said that the my mom's friend was there and that she's waiting for me. (The woman was said to deliver something for my grandma.- I'm staying at my grandma's.) To make it short, I went home almost immediately.

To make it short: When I opened the door, Mom's there in the kitchen, sitting comfortably as if it's nothing out of the ordinary. ^^'

Oct. 19
Mom, Lola, Tita Ellen, and I went to Duty Free to buy some food, etc. Sayang nga eh coz Ate Airene, Kuya Norman, Ate She, Kuya Raylord, and Ate Jonah went to Tagaytay and I was invited so I couldn't come with. (Ellen, Gladys, and Raymond didn't get to come also.) But it's ok though-- I was with my family anyway. Besides, they informed me that there would be a next time. =D

some pics of me and sis Chamie taken at Lola's when we were bored waiting for the *ahem* adults..


we're standing by each other's side.. it had a meaning, ya know!


a nice pic.. the sun was blinding us a bit..

Ano kaya ung gift saken ni Kuya Raylord? Sabihin nyu nah!

The highlight of the day: We ate at a Japanese restaurant! (Elin Japanese Food and Noodles) The food and the ambiance was SUGOI! Here are the pics:


me, sis Chamie, Mom, Lola, and Tita Ellen


take two!


the table.. with lotsa stuff!


this is like the best thing that made my day! it's a whole bookshelve full of manga~s!! (who woulda thought?) they're pretty old too.. there was another shelve-full on the other side of the resto.. ^^


this was the menu that was hanging in front of our table.. it really has hiragana, katakana, and even some kanji! *ureshii*


this was the menu given to us.. or erm.. some part of it..


these banners immediately reminded me of Naruto. (for those who watched the series, ya know what I'm taking about..) it really gave the place the ambiance.. ^__^ ramen! ramen! sukiyaki!


Oct. 20
Mom, Chamie, and I went to the apartment recommended by my mom's cousin's friend. It's at Sea Breeze Subd., really near Baste (just a few minutes away). I could walk from there. Seriously. (I need exercise!) The place was up since three years ago. We checked the rooms, it's pretty fine. Dude, I hoped we get it, man!

We went to SM afterwards to food-shop with Lola and Tita Ellen. I went to National Bookstore in hopes that I could finally buy The Wallflower vol. 6 or 1. I was unfortunate it wasn't there. So I decided to choose between Ghost Hunt vol. 3 (since there's no vol. 1) or The Wallflower vol. 8. Yah wanna know what I picked? None of the two (?!) coz I saw Vampire Hunter D vol. 1 and 2 available!

Di sapat ang okane ko so.. I only got to buy vol. 1. It's not a manga by the way, it's a novel. It's kinda thick so I know it'll take me like a week or so to finish it (coz I'll be so busy helping out with the packing, etc.) so it'll keep me busy for a while.

The novel that inspired the hit motion picture in English for the first time!

It is the year 12,090 A.D. The world has ended, ravaged in a firestorm of man's wars and madness. But from the wreckage a few humans manage to survive. A few humans... and something else.

Doris Lang knew what her fate was when the vampire Lord Count Magnus Lee bit her. An agonizing transformation into one of the undead, to be stalked by her fellow villagers or cursed to become to be the bride of the unholy creature and face an eternity of torment, driven by the thirst for human blood. There was only one chance, and as she watched him ride in from the distance she knew there was hope. Salvation... from a vampire hunter named D.

Made into the international hit film Vampire Hunter D, this classic work by Japanese horror fiction master Hideyuki Kikuchi has been sought by English fans for decades. DH Press and Digital Manga Publishing are honored to make this translation of the first novel in the ongoing series of Vampire Hunter D books available for the first time!

I hope I can convince my mom to buy me vol. 2 (I've been suggesting that she reads it after I did.) =P

Oct. 21
I called home(Kawit) to my mom and she said some family got it already.. That some family is.. US! Yatta! We're finally gonna move! Probably tomorrow or on Monday. I'm so happy!

I'm currently at the internet café. Later this week (or rather, the next), Peter will be up and running again.. as soon as it's booted.. or whatever needs to be done to it.

The Wallflower vol. 7.. I think I bought it around.. September maybe..

Four of Japan's hottest guys are doing the best they can in their mission to turn dark, macabre Sunako into a dainty young woman-- including Ranmaru, who's famous for his smooth way with the ladies. But when a cute toddler named Rin shows up calling Ranmaru "Daddy", it seems that Ranmaru's days of swinging bachelorhood may be over! Ranmaru swears that Rin is not his kid, but they sure look an awful lot alike.

Ranmaru does his darndest to avoid the boy, but Sunako turns out to have a soft spot for the little squirt. It looks like Ranmaru just might have to accept his role as father-- and Sunako seems to be the perfect mom. Will motherhood finally turn Sunako into a true lady?

Ghost Hunt vol. 3 I bought this on Oct. 8..

The psychic investigators are going back to school-- this time to solve a baffling mystery. Every student who sits at one particular desk is later caught in a train door and dragged away to who knows where. As if classes weren't hard enough! And when Naru and Mai find themselves stalked by their own evil spirits, the case becomes even more bizarre.

Could this dastardly desk be the revenge of a quiet young girl named Chiaki? Or is there another unhappy soul to reckon with? One thing is certain: Voodoo dolls, bad vibes, and sinister curses won't stop the psychic pals from solving their most difficult and dangerous case ever!

So far, I'm enjoying reading it.. I'm in a "dark mood" haha..
