Pylons of procrastination

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

I have refrained from spending anything on books last week: it was because I just bought Skullcandy headphones as well as a bevy of novels the week before that. I was relatively successful in that period of fasting, despite my desire as a bibliophile, to purchase more novels: I had already spent a significant amount […]

Hatsukoi Limited: thoughts on reading, first loves, and life in general

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Before I log on to my blog, I always try to put my thoughts in paper first. I’m sad to say that this week has been pretty hectic to the extent that I have only written some scribbles each day for four days. Since I vehemently refuse to do anything related to academic work today, […]

The entelechy of ‘reverse traps,’ and the 7th Philippine Toy Convention

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

I went to the 7th Phil. Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention yesterday. The event was actually far from our place, and I had a sore throat. I decided to go there, however, because it is most probably my last year of stay here in Manila and conventions occur only once a year. I actually enjoyed […]

Existentialism and its discontents: for those of us who do not believe in God

Monday, April 28th, 2008

To be entirely honest, I did not expect to want to write about something today. I wrote about the impossibility of deriving meaning from Code Geass just yesterday (under my pyrexia I also cursed), and I have also completed a blog post two days before that. Honestly, I haven’t been as productive as this since […]

I really need some pep talk right now …

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

I don’t have work, and neither have classes formally started, but I can’t still get back to anime because the Internet connection that once worked without a hitch for about three months went back to its old ways once again. This really sucks for me, as I wanted to watch Reideen until its most recent […]

Some manga suggestions, please…

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

This is practically the first day of summer class where I totally got lazy. I cut class, almost got late for an exam I didn’t really study for, and almost wasn’t able to submit the requirements needed for the day just because I was so engrossed in some popular manga being serialized right now. I’m […]

Maison Ikkoku - again?

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

Awesome. Just awesome.
I don’t often exhibit brevity in my posts, but the Maison Ikkoku manga was awesome, even more than its anime counterpart. The transition from friends to true lovers was more visible, and it helped that there was a confirmation of love for both parties. Of course, if you’ve read the manga, you’d know […]

Something that should have had happened a long time ago …

Take THAT, bitch.

My very first anime convention

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

I, along with my fellow friend and anime addict, went to an anime convention today. There was nothing really special about it, but it was my very first anime convention, and it made me feel as if I leveled up in the world of anime otakudom. But really, I wouldn’t have gone there as I […]

Is Yakumo finally stepping up to bat? (c205)

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

The second season of School Rumble ended some time ago, and most have been disappointed with the reset that both the producers of the anime series and Kobayashi Jin like to implement once in a while just to prolong the story (and consequently be able to mulct more money from it). Nothing much can be […]
