Being an Otaku

Have I ever told you that I'm an Otaku? Otaku means Anime addict/lover. And yes, I am in love with Anime.

One of the first animes I've watch was probably Naruto since my brother loves it. Then I started watching Mirmo de Pon and I never thought that it's actually an anime.

I started really being an anime lover in 6th grade when my best friend M., introduced me to Shugo Chara! I was in love with it especially with Tadase. I was an Tadamu fan (Tadase X Amu). I only loved Shugo Chara until Shugo Chara! Doki. Since I never got the feel from Shugo Chara! Party!

Then I started watching Shoujo animes, like Special A and Ouran High School Host Club. Then I started reading mangas.

I was even able to read mangas in onemanga.com. It's usually onemanga then mangafox. But now, it's all mangafox or mangareader.net.

Then I joined a site called Otakuzone in 2009. I stopped for a few months and came back in 2010. Since then in my user I started forming my own club, making roleplay friends and doing my own rps in the Roleplay forum.

And it's probably also thanks to my OZ friends that I started writing my own stories and its plot. It's so nice to think about a roleplay where you're going to include people and it and make the story alive.

My first roleplay forum thread was called "The Life of the Runaways". It didn't go the way I wanted to but it gave me reasons to write more. I had memories with special people there. And I saved that story. I told them one day I'll finish this rp. I'll make it into a book and I promise your name to be there.

I started roleplaying in clubs. The first one was in my own club called WTA (White Theater Academy). I had fun roleplaying there but I ended up closing the club in 2010 because I was so busy already and it wasn't active anymore. But I promised my co-role players that I'll be opening WTA with a brand new administration.

The second is STA (Special Twins Academy) by a beloved friend I met. Until now, we're role playing and it never stopped. The weird and awesome part is there are only 3 people who are role playing in the club out of hundreds of applicant. Me, and 2 more friends that is. It'd be awesome if you've read it yourself!

Until now, even if it's been 3 years since I became an otaku, I never stopped reading or watching it. In filipino, it's what we called Hindi Nasasawa. Even if there's not much new anime or mangas, or when I finished almost half of the mangas of the genres I like, I never stopped hoping for new things.

The good thing about anime is that there's an inspiration for me that sparks. That gives me ideas in my books. Also I love Japanese Culture. So I got addicted.

But don't worry, I still read books like the Red Pyramid, Thrones of Fire, Percy Jackson Series, Falling Leaves, Desert Flower and such.

For me, being an otaku is not such a bad thing. It could be addicted. But isn't it the same with everything else? If you love something, you get addicted or in-love with it. And I say to you know that I am in love with anime.

That's why this summer, I'll be also giving anime reviews. Since it is part of the randomness in my life.



Yami No Game

Ever heard of the game called "Shadow Game?" I'm sure you've heard of it especially if in your childhood you've watch anime series like these:



Yes, I'm talking about the Yu-Gi-Oh!

When I was a kid, my big brother used to watch this anime series. And I ended up watching it too. Me and my brother even played the cards itself. My brother collected all the cards. But when we grew up, of course my dad just either stored it away or gave it away. So I never saw it since then. If there was a chance of seeing it, I'd post it back here.

And yes, this summer I am re-watching all seasons and movies of both series! And at the end of the summer, don't blame me for getting addicted. In anyways, I'll give you probably a monthly updates on what episode I am. I finished 27 episodes in 2 nights last week before our final exams. Though I'd like to ask you guys if you know where to actually buy the series. It'd be the greatest gift I'd ever receive. Even better than a new violin or expensive clothes.

You can still watch the series online in some selected sites. If not, better start going to stores looking for the DVD/CD!

Note to self and anybody else: If anyone knows a site or place where I can watch Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters in JAPANESE and ENGLISH SUBBED, please inform me! I am in search to watch the rest of the seasons in English Subbed. English Dubbed just really freaks me out sometimes. Thank You! 

Second Introduction

Okay, so on the very first post of this blog I said that this is just an experimental blog project. But because of you guys, I now officially open the site with a new name too! A Thespian's Summer derived from my love to arts, theater, dance and music. And there are such people in my heart that called me a thespian. I may not be a known actor, but the love for theater and for its arts is within me. And it's all thanks to people like Ate Boogie and the rest of my co-actors in school.

I have also mentioned my love to dance as I've been part for the first time in the company show of Ballet Philippine's Sleeping Beauty last December 2011. And I'm going to continue pursuing my dance career. And it's all thanks to the CCPDS Scholarship Program. I will honestly say that I improved for the last 10 months of my scholarship. And I'm glad I did.

Also, making a quick current update of my violin classes from my 7 months hiatus, I am proud to say that after 3-5 months I'm going to level up to Level 4 this coming Summer in the Philippines. It took me a while than the usual to make this effort paid.

As an actor, dancer and musician I would love to give my best well share my talents to you. I am not the best writer you read writing in a blog. I read a lot of blogs with better writing. But it doesn't mean jealousy to me, it's inspiration.

I would also like to inform you guys that someday in Summer I might pick up that pen again and start writing the fantasies and actions in my head. I'll try my best to share  you some of these great plots in my head.

So this is my 2nd introduction to this blog. And I am thankful for all those 700++ visitors and readers even if I know that you're not exactly 700. To all the viewers, and readers, thank you very much!

Summer Come Back!

It's been over a month since I last posted! And to all my readers, I'd love to say that I'm going to start blogging again! The theme will be changed due to global warming (It's Summer). So I hope you look forward to the new Experimental Blog Project! I'll also be changing it to another URL and title? Since it's seems to long and it's not an experiment anymore. So I hope you look forward to it!

Apology Denied or Accepted?

I am really sorry for not blogging for the past few days. I've been really busy with ballet, hip hop and school. I don't know when I'd be able to go back again. but to make sure that I won't go back yet, I'm sending this letter to my readers. I apologize sincerely. Thank You for your patience!

Blood Loss

No, I didn't have blood loss. probably just a cup of blood did.

It all started with a red scissors. My brother got my pencil case and took out the scissors and started playing with it.

I tried to get it back since it might cut his fingers, so when I tried retrieving it, I ended up cutting a portion of my skin in my right point-finger and is currently in pain for bleeding.

I was crying so hard because it wouldn't stop bleeding and it literally cut through my skin. I changed thousands of band-aids or cotton balls or tissues or whatever and all ended up red in the trash can.

I just hoped it'll heal soon because it hurts big time.
