Gakuen Alice 158

The plot thickens. It does. Oh my God...
The chapter isn't much of a tragic one, but not that all happy.

It's actually a good thing that Rei (Persona) has changed sides already. All of the things that I've posted about him before is still to be corrected, and it's not as if I said something so mean. In a way, I can sympathize with him. But please!!! Stop torturing me with Natsume's future!!!!

He will live, right?
I'll certainly go mad if by any chance, he'll get killed, either by the enemies, or by his own alice. His mother had lived long enough to create a family, and she died in an accident. Although I cry for his father, that is what is supposed to be. That is the payment for having such a strong alice. But, he didn't even ask for it. If only they could've lived in an alternate universe, but then Gakuen Alice would cease to exist.

I don't know, this update took a month to be released, and I'm waiting restlessly for the next chapter.
'Till the next chapter!
Ja!

Lost Hero

Book One (Last Stock of National Book Store)
I was planning on buying this as a gift for my brother for his graduation, along with the second book "The Son of Neptune". Then I found out that it could be sold-out already, less for this one out on the displays. Now, I'm in conflict. Should I read it first? Hahaha...

Jayrol: The Wedding Crasher

Most epic thing I can remember about last sem. (2nd Year, 1st Sem)



Stop the wedding,
that man deserves no one else but me. 
I and he loved each other,
we were very happy,
we even shared our dreams,
ambitions in life,
the number of children,
we also talked about it,
and especially we also promised to each other 
that no one could ever break our bond,
even death.
Until that woman entered into our life,
everything has changed;
dreams were turned into ashes,
that in a blink of the eye,
all disappeared like bubbles.
I was left alone. 
Poor but still pretty me.

You sly woman destroyed my life and my future. 
I should be the one standing there, 
wearing that beautiful wedding dress, 
exchanging “I do(s)” with him, 
receiving that ring 
and I should be the one he will be kissing too. 
It’s all because of you…
you snatcher/whore. 
You took advantage of his weakness.

And you,
I love you so much, 
you know that. 
In fact, 
I've surrendered all that I have just for you. 
How dare you for doing these to me, 
despite of all the things I've done for you, 
all those breathtaking nights, 
mornings, 
and afternoons we spent together in that California King Bed, 
all those thousand pesos I've spent to enlarge small parts of your body. . . 
such as your eyes.

Doesn't that mean anything to you? 
You really tore my heart into pieces, 


Marion!

"Imprint"


I’ve watched Breaking Dawn and the only thing that excited me and made me write this is because of Jacob’s and baby Renesme’s scene. Where he described how it was to find your ‘imprint’ and the part where he kneeled. I would definitely look for their book if ever there is one because I can already foresee the conflict, among many others.

Jacob betrayed her, and that is very mean, considering she is his imprint. He didn’t know it yet, but the fact still remains, he wanted her dead, even before she was born. Man! That’s why I love weres better than vamps. I’ve read a lot of stories about them, and although there are some differences in the authors view on how they are. One thing remains the same; weres have mates, destined ones, akai ito, and their one true love, which mostly comes once every lifetime. Although there’s one story where a werewolf’s mate died, and it left him a silver patch on his hair, symbolic of the forever grief that he’ll carry along. It is rare for a were who has lost his/her mate to find another, since they usually go ‘rouge’ or that they too old already that they spent their time alone. Anyway, back to my summary of a story that I’ve read.
 His mate died, but after 50 years of living in solitude, he found yet another love in a form of a very deadly, volatile, ancient vampire. Their story was more of adaptations and self-development, but the end brought me to tears. If ever this story is familiar, then you must be a fan of Jaz*****n, a writer from a rather embarrassing site. Her stories, nonetheless, are of great quality, and she has made several installments already on her series. Better than e-books! Lol. Werewolves’ primal instincts are eminent in their nature, and that includes their protective instincts and sizzling sexuality, mostly by boys. Male dominance is their religion, but if you dig deeper, in every successful man’s house is a woman, whom they cherish and love. They’ll give up everything and do everything for their mates, so we might as well deduce that it was really the ‘girls’ making their world turn.

Anyways, back to Jacob and Renesme, I really really am curious on how they would live happily ever after. I’m dying to know, I might as well write a fanfic, but… I’m too lazy! 

I have no comment whatsoever about the movie. I may have ran out of words, or I have a lot to say that I decided to be silent just for complexities sake, or whatever.

It’s December 23, 2011… I’m trying to think of any good anime to watch. I’ll just play Angel Beats again, since it so epic! Haha…

Koizora


Koizora


It is a horizon, between what can be real, and is real. Between fantasy and reality. A heart-warming movie that would make you utter a wish, and then take it back for you to wish it again. How so? It is a blend of sincere scenes of love, and cruel scenes of life, that would make you cringe, and then smile for the retribution.

The time that Mika was raped, it made me sick. My stomach churned, my head hurt. It was the same when she came back to school after that. But when Hiro unexpectedly did what he did that time, my tears actually fell and I was begging, crying, wishing for their tribulations to end. He is such a good guy, they really love each other, and I felt that warmth. It would have been a happy ending after Hiro’s outburst and proclamation of love, but no. It wasn’t over yet.

55:48 : Duh.

Owari.

Truly, one of the best stories so far.

It made me laugh while crying, gave me goosebumps, dazed me for like hours.

It is one of those stories that, even though you already know that it’s useless, you would still hope, you would still ask and beg for it, because you are affected by the character’s strength and determination, that giving up wouldn’t even enter your mind.

I didn’t mean to, but then tears just started flowing out, and at the last part, it gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. I will truly, zettai! Remember their love, that is pure, strong, and forever.

To Hiro and Mika, cheers.

Thus The Adventure Ends


Record of Fallen Vampire Quotations


“It’s foolish that you can’t see the new star because you are too obsessed with the lost one.”
- Bridget (Chapter 2)

“A clouded heart yields a clouded blade. Who can you kill with a sword that even the moon doesn’t reflect off?” – Bridget (Chapter 4)

“If you understand, then that’s fine.” – Bridget (Chapter 4)

Note: I wonder why I picked up 3 Bridget quotes in a row?

“Doubt comes before acceptance.” – GM

“Let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t get carried away.” – Strauss

“Why don’t we try asking the moon?” – Bridget

Note: The line is not something special, err… I take it back. There is something beyond those lines.

“Then what should I have done? The most precious person in my life was murdered by Akabara. Having to hug that cold body, these fifty years, what should I have done?” – Renka

Note: Yeah, I know. *Pats Renka on the head*

“The man who desires everything will eventually lose everything to his greed.” – Characters

“The only one I wanted to be by my side is Stella.” – Akabara

“Should I praise your light-heartedness, or should I be mad at your frivolity?” – GM

“Whoa, he sure works fast!”- General Morishima

“Little girl, you are very beautiful. Compared to us, you are definitely more beautiful.” – Bridget (she’s talking about Stella)

Chapter 20: Unedited comment: Oh sh*t! She (Bridget) witnessed it (Adelheid murdering Stella)?

“However, what irritates me the most is the me who thinks that way.” – Bridget

“Good or bad, it will all depend to the moon’s blessing.” – Stella

Chapter 21: *Takes a very long and deep breathe* *Tears* the chapter where Stella dies.

“Bridget’s deep hatred makes me sad.” – Lety



“I am a vampire who has conquered the sun.” – Akabara (This actually just an informative line, nothing more, but readers can actually create other denotation, ayt?)


“But just the possibility of him “ruling everything” is terrifying enough.”

Note: The existence itself can be a cause of a conflict, of a war. So wars are never fair, nor just. Just pure, unadulterated bloodshed.

“Because I fear nothing, everybody fears me.” – Akabara

Chapter 30: Damnit! He was never the bad guy! Why must his fate be this cruel? *Goosebumps* Gottfried “Rosered” Strauss, you truly are a great, the best king ever.

Chapter 31: Thank you, General Morishima for that wonderful explanation, but I still think that you’re a nuisance as a character (yeah yeah, you’re smart, but you’re human, my hopes for you ended on that fact, so I might as well hate you), but what I think of you doesn’t matter right? Cheers then. It all made sense now. And one thing became very very clear, it was overwhelming. It was Strauss’ selflessness that protected the Earth.

“If that were true, then that person is a king.” – Renka

Chapter 32: Hell, huh?

“Ah, that is the painful and misplaced strategy of an idiot king.” – Akabara

“But reality is not ideal…” – Morishima

Note: Taking quotations has taken its toll on me. It’s like, I don’t know, somehow I can just take note on all of their lines and say that they all bore meanings. And that would be nonsense, because they did not, and only those who had read the whole story can keep up with me and my notes.

Chapter 33: Double damn! You sly author! You never cease to surprise me!!!!! First, it wasn’t Adelheid who killed Stella, now, Stella’s mom is alive and she was Saberhagen? That’s completely mental! I think I just got a cold.

“It is inexcusable, to hate someone and be happy.” – The armored damphir, whatshisname? Edit: Fuuhaku!

Chapter 36: *Claps and whoots*

Chapter 37: I’m accounting for almost like every chapter! This time, it was revealed that Stella is the Black Swan. Am I shocked? Duh.

Chapter 38: … one word: tissue.

“For the sake of the bloodline, for the sake of the world… I cannot die! I must receive all the hatred. That is my sin and my punishment, without knowing a time to stop. As long as there’s a moon, as long as there is night, until the day that I’m killed.” – Akabara

Chapter 39 and 40: It’s all so unreasonable (Fuuhaku), so unfair (Lety). My sentiments exactly.

“If you wish to become strong, only you can conquer your own pain.” – Adelheid

Chapter 41: Awwwkay! I take back the things I’ve said about Morishima! He made me smile, that’s a feat! LOL. Seriously, I now consider him a cool character! The reason that made me change my mind? HI-MIT-SU. ^^

Chapter 43: Fin.

And thus ends my Record of the Fallen Vampire entries. To those who have read it, err..yeah…well..uhh… To those who haven’t read it yet, what are you waiting for?
