gyabbo! Ryu Sanada *kyaa!*

great, great, great news!!! KIMI Ni TODOKE is going LIVE...set to be released  on September 2010, will be directed by Naoto Kumazawa (he also directed Rainbow Song) i can't wait!!! here are the actors who will play the lead! 


 Haruma Miura + Mikako Tabe 


Ryu Sanada is my new crush XD.
 Blood type: B 
Birthdate: 2nd December 
Sign: Sagittarius 
Height: 179 cm [5'10 1/2"] 
Weight: 75 kg [165 lbs] 
Life philosophy: "A man of action, not words."

ryu, you can comfort me anytime :p
he's sooo funny, esp when he can't remember names!
ahhhh! give this kid some cookies!
Ryu is also member of Sawako's group of friends He is the son of a ramen shop owner, owner of Chizuru Yoshida's favorite ramen shop. He is quiet most of the time and rarely talks, but still can communicate well with Sawako, as they both don't talk much anyways. He is a close childhood friend with Chizuru and does not deny having feelings for her, such as simply smiling when Sawako asks if he and Chizuru are dating. He later confirms his love when he confesses that he likes Chizuru to Sawako. While his love is one-sided, he is very patient with Chizuru realizing that Chizuru probably won't like him in a romantic sense, at least not right away. He's more than willing to comfort Chizuru if she's depressed, though he would rather have her mad at him as he knows Chizuru can vent out her emotions better. Ryu and Kazehaya became friends when they were on the baseball team during middle school. Ryu also seems to like animals a lot; when Shota was going to walk "Maru", his adopted puppy, home with Sawako, Chizuru pulled Ryu away telling him he's going to walk with Ayane and her instead. While being pulled away from Shota's puppy, he cried out for it. In chapter 43, he casually tells Chiziru that he loves her and she reacts by saying "Don't say that so suddenly!".
 this is my favorite Ryu moment in manga, when Ryu told Sawako that he only love Chizu :))) aww! <3
  
Yuiichi Nakamura will play Ryu Sanada in the live version!!! *woohoo!*

down down down saturdays.

it's a saturday again...well i've planted all my seeds and tickled my new pup, robbed fellow mafias, cast spells, searched treasures and fought some dragons, i figured i needed to rest FB for a while. T, came home from work around 7am and having just finished my part-time job, i figured i deserve a prize...so there i was youtubing episodes 1-14 of kimi ni todoke and while waiting for it to upload reading the manga *im falling in love with Ryu* he's just so adorably gorgeous in the silent, mysterious way XD *kyaa!* lol! im babbling now, nwei back to my flatmate T, she was going out again by 8am for band practice and she needed to hear the song the members wanted her to sing. Jason Walker's DOWN (from the series Vampire Diaries *that show disappointed me a bit, even if Ian Sommerhaulder is there! it's like having root canal and icecream at the same time, agonizingly blah but still a bit delicious)...and there i go again yada yada yada *sorry* and T discovered this duet version of Down by Rough Edge Diamond, and boy, we were both delightedly surprised, their version was way better than Jason Walkers.

what in a word?

while scrolling along my fb homepage i found this funny post: 

that made me laugh so hard XD puhahahahahahahah!

im reading Kimi ni Todoke (From Me to You) by Shiina Karuho, it makes me go
*XD kya! kyaa!! kyaaa!!! kyaaaa!!! XD*
which is just so horrifying at my age.

Sawako Kuronuma, called Sadako by her classmates for her resemblance to the character Samara from 'The Ring' has always been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance. There are rumors that Sawako can see ghosts and curse people. But when her idol, the popular Kazehaya, begins talking with her, everything changes. She finds herself in a new world, making new friends and talking to different people. Sawako opens up to new people, making it easy for them to hurt her or help her.

 Kazehaya *lol! XD* he's always blushing!!!
i love it when Sawako becomes Chibi-like :)
which always happens
ayano and yoshida and their funny faces :p 
became great friends with sawako.
they look so good together.
can't wait for the manga to be finished!!!
i just heard from friends' that it's already made into anime, YAY!!!

RULE THE WORLD



im currently loving Take That's Rule the World...it makes me wanna dance like crazy... just watched Stardust, i just love that movie esp Robert DeNiro aka Captain Shakespeare and his fan and flashy skirts & corsets. Neil Gaiman is a genius!!!

back to Stardust, prior to the film's release, i was a bit apprehensive about Claire Danes playing Yvaine...lol! i just had a conversation with my flatmate T a few days ago, while we were watching Confessions of a Shopaholic & King Arthur, why the effin' hell did Hugh Dancy married her!!! *evil thoughts* T was so affronted on his behalf, saying he could have done better...i mean Claire Danes...come on! we all know Billy Crudup left his pregnant wife for Claire and the relationship didn't even last *home wrecker*

I first saw Hugh Dancy on Black Hawk Down (as Schmid), also on Vanity Fair (he was the Burberry dude) but didn't really got to notice him, er, well because Ewen Bremner (Nelson) was just so hysterically funny there (i love him in Trainspotting and even when he was stuttering his way into the heart of Jaime King on Pearl Harbor) that guy is just so fun to watch, and Orlando Bloom, Eric Bana, Josh Hartnett, Ewan MacGregor, Charlie Hofheimer, Brendan Sexton...and let's not forget the lovely Nikolaj Coster Waldau *goodness i almost forgot how many cute guys were there* need to watch it again!!!


Trainspotting...hmmm...haven't watched that for sometime now...my sister A, is currently in love with Kevin McKidd, he played Poseidon in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief....okay, i admit he's a bit cute but who would've guess he was also Tommy (the poor schmuck who died in Trainspotting, i still blame Renton for his death) well, he does look fierce in ROME.


I'm watching The Pacific right now, though it pales a bit in comparison with Band of Brothers.

Controversial Photos amidst ONDOY



MICKEY ARROYO BUYING LIQUOR THE DAY AFTER ONDOY
This picture I got from the facebook album of Kaila Dionisio, the quote from the picture was>>>
Saw this post from my brother's friend, so frustrating! She says: "Was buying food for keeps... then we saw Mikey Arroyo in Rustans Liquor Section asking the salesman for a brand of hard alcoholic drink. Effin Crazy! Just a few kilometers away from Katipunan, people are needing help for search and rescue, and there he was buying bottles of alcohol"

read more about this story! 
>>>the link above had at least 30+ responses/comments from readers, mostly rants.

Hi, I reposted the Mikey picture after picking it up from another network…hours later, I got this message from a certain Andrew Lacsamana:
—————–
Hi! Just concerned… I hope you don’t mind. The posted photo of Mikey Arroyo is a hoax. I hope we could let everyone know that this is a hoax. The owner of the photo already sent a shoutout that this is was taken a long time ago. Let’s hope this doesn’t get blown out of proportion. This is the last thing the country needs right now. I hope we could just concentrate on helping each other out after this calamity.
Thanks
———————-
You seem to know the owner of the FB account which was the apparent source of the photo…Perhaps you can confirm or deny what this Mr. Lacsamana is saying…my other friends who reposted the picture on FB also received the same message from Mr. Lacsamana…
Best,
Romel

I can’t believe they are already threatening her. Maybe Mikey is drinking because he can’t come back to his million dollar house in the US. He broke US laws regarding mortgage fraud, money laundering and Section 312 of the USA Patriot Act that deals with Senior Foreign Political Figures and ill-gotten wealth. He put $264K down on the house and obtained a 1st mortgage of $858K and a 2nd Mortgage for $198K. This means he claimed an income of at least $300K US to qualify for the mortgage. (he makes 40,000 Pesos a month as salary) That’s fraud. He paid the mortgage in 20 months as a Deed of Reconveyance was issued to Angela Arroyo Montenegro from IndyMac Bank on 4/15/2008, meaning they paid off the mortgages. By paying off $1,056,000 in mortgages in 20 months, they skirted the safeguards in place to monitor bank accounts. Once the house is sold, the money is now “clean” and Angela Montenegro can deposit the title company check and say she is a real estate investor and no one would know she is the daughter-in-law of the President of the Philippines. I have supplied this evidence to FBI, who can pull the original mortgage application and sniff out their other properties here. I hear there is a house in Fremont CA that Rufa Mae Quinto has boasted that Mikey bought for her as well. Now she is boasting publicly of a new house in SF, by some “mystery” man. It is well-known in showbiz circles there that she’s his kabit.

I also saw this picture. Some friends and I are currently debating about this one. If the link or account was suspended, there are two main reasons. First, the user (owner) was the one who deleted it. Second is that Facebook was the one who did it. Which means there was possible copyright violation. If there was such a violation, could it mean then that it is really him?
Just my two cents.

spread the word~ It’s him! It’s that sly smile that he carries just like his mother.



MANNY VILLAR'S PACKED LUNCH FOR ONDOY VICTIMS
This was another controversial picture that was getting re-posted around people's facebook walls. there were at least hundreds of rants about it.

RG, a cousin of my good friend M, posted this note on facebook.

Explanation re: Ondoy's packed lunch

Sa aming mga kaibigan,
Panalangin ko na lahat kayo ay nasa maayos na kalagayan. May litratong kumakalat sa Facebook at sa mga social networking sites tungkol sa packed lunch na pinamimigay ng ating mabuting kaibigan, Senator Villar. Bilang kaibigan, sana tulungan niyo kami na maipaliwanag sa kanila kung ano ang tunay na nangyari. Nakakalungkot dahil sa oras ng ganitong kahirapan, may mga tao pang nais sumira sa kagandahang loob na ating ginagawa. Nawa'y ilaan na lang natin sa pagtulong ang oras na ginagamit natin kaysa sa pagsira ng kapwa. sana ipost niyo sa mga litratong nakikita niyo ang isa o dalawa sa reply sa baba.

+++

In campaigns, maraming volunteers na sumasali. Pwedeng maglagay ang isang 'hater' para sirain ang taong kung sino man. Madaming supporters si Senator na nagbibigay din ng tulong. So, hindi natin alam kung kanino nanggaling yan.isa ako sa mga nagvolunteer para mag re-pack sa WCC, office ni Senator Villar. Wala kaming nilagay na kahit isang pangalan sa mga packed lunch. It's sad kasi 72 hours ka na nagrerepack at tumutulong sa mga victims, ganito pa yung makikita mo. Meron din mga generous friends and mga nagdonate ng ready to distribute packed lunch, and we did not bother to check them kasi kailangan mabilisan ang galaw, so lagay lahat sa trucks. Meron din namang mga friends na dumretso na agad sa affected areas at tumulong in behalf of the good Senator. Shempre, tumutulong sila, hindi natin alam kung ano ang nakalagay sa mga pinamimigay nila. It's not the time to meddle in politics and magsiraan. Magtulong tulong na lang tayo para sa mga nasalanta. You are more than welcome to give donations and/or join us in helping the Ondoy victims. Let us spread love not hate :)... thanks

Message from Camille Villar:

Last saturday until today, members of our organization and company started working to help those in need because of the typhoon, we have worked ceaselessly for the past 48+ hours or so, our engineers and volunteers toured the streets on our trucks to rescue who they could. Up to date we have resued 2750 ppl from areas in central luzon, we have also given relief to around 20000 people, in our rush to get as much help out we may have overlooked what items were sent out.

We just wanted to get everything we had out asap and if anyone was offended or if there were insensitivities then my sincerest and utmost apologies... We are doing the best we can, rest assured that all we wanted to do was help as many people as we could.

KETSANA devastates a whole nation



september 26, 2009...was just an ordinary day, or so thought. i got back at the apartment at 4am, it was cold and raining still, nothing to be alarmed with because it's been raining on and off the past weeks. not yet sleepy so i decided to watch a movie while checking emails, ebay & facebook. i snoozed after a few minutes, must've been tired after all, was awaken at around 7am when my flatemate T arrived with her +1Y. moved the mouse as the laptop had gone in a standby mode, the TV was still blaring with the movie, played a bit of Mafia and finally logout and  shut-off-ed! ZZZzzz it was probably around 9am when i was awakened by T, which was a surprise because we never wake each other up except when we need to go to work and the alarm didn't work or in dire cases only. T went out to buy something and was alarmed at the rain water rising on the streets of evangelista and outside our apartment. we finally decided to move all our stuffs in the living room upstairs and just in a nick of time, a few seconds after we finished hauling our stuffs, water surged at our apartment and a few minutes later, our apartment was flooded ankle-deep and still rising at an alarming rate, even our laundry area and toilet was totally flooded.as the rain continued to pour, we had no idea what was happening elsewhere, we couldn't plug the TV because the sockets were so low so we just waited for the rain to stop & made paper boats, it was also a good thing we were well stocked with food and drinking water. it was only after a few hours when i finally got connected to the net and opened my FB and listened to the radio that i finally realized how serious the situation is elsewhere, i was shocked...people were dying, getting stranded in their own homes without food, drinking water or medicine, by this time T was already sleeping, but i couldn't sleep anymore. 7pm, the water inside our apartment has finally stopped rising luckily it never reached the electric sockets and luckily we still had electricity. another friend T came knocking with her +1J, they were wet, jeans folded to their knees, they were both carrying their rubber shoes J was barefoot and T was wearing flipflops. they had walked from Glorietta (ayala) to our Apartment (evangelista), they never made it to work...elsewhere the death toll was rising, some are still not rescued, and it was still raining. another major calamity :(



here are a few pictures i got from friends at FB.



More than 330,000 people were affected by storm, including some 59,000 people who were brought to about 100 schools, churches and other evacuation shelters, officials said. Troops, police and volunteers have so far been able to rescue more than 5,100 people.

The 16.7 inches (42.4 centimeters) of rain that swamped metropolitan Manila in just 12 hours on Saturday exceeded the 15.4-inch (39.2-centimeter) average for all of September. The rainfall also broke the previous record of 13.2 inches (33.4 centimeters), which fell in a 24-hour period in June 1967.

Ketsana "ONDOY", which packed winds of 53 miles per hour (85 kilometers) with gusts of up to 63 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour), hit land early Saturday then roared across the main northern Luzon island toward the South China Sea.

It's the 15th of about 20 typhoons and storms that forecasters expect will lash the country this year. Death toll has reached 100+ and more people are missing.
