What Year Were You Born?
You Were Born Under: |
Popular and crafty, you are a master at the art of seduction. You are intelligent and intuitive – and make a savvy businessperson. You live life to the fullest, even if it means maxing out your credit cards. Many people are secretly (and hopelessly) in love with you. You are most compatible with a Rooster or Ox. |
Movie Challenge!
I often challenged myself with things that I can’t simply comprehend especially when the situation gets tough. One of these challenges is of course, to watch movies as many as I can. I would most likely watch chick flicks, cartoons, adventures and romantic movies but it is not fun if I would just stick to those kind of movies. Hmmm, no…I can’t watch horror movies. I believe that it is not my forte. I scare myself easily, I freak out…and I would most likely suffer another sleepless night just by watching horror movies. My gut can’t bloody well take horror movies! Anyway, I would like to watch the movies that are listed under Top 100 Movies Of All Time. I know that I’ve seen a lot of movies but I wonder if they are even listed under the Top 100 Movies of All Time category. The movies that I like to watch are those movies with Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock movies. I will post my movie challenge later. It’s time to brew coffee….
To be or not to be….
It’s Tuesday morning and although I slept late last night, I am quite relieved to know that I am once again blogging my thoughts here. I woke up a bit dizzy and groggy probably because I haven’t been exercising. I am aware that staying healthy is important and I do admit I have been slacking a lot. Earlier this year, I started a rigorous diet/exercise so I could stay fit but you know me, I like to do things at once and quit at the same time. I even managed to cut off on carbohydrates and eat fruits more (I love fruits, by the way especially cherries *yum*) and also, drinking green tea. I also think that I have also lost some weight…probably 3 to 5 pounds altogether. Now that its halfway through the year, I am now almost freaking out because I haven’t been able to lose all the weight that I made myself promise earlier this year! Goodness gracious, do you think that I would somehow grow up and just do things that I am suppose to do? As my friends would say….probably NOT! Well, in that case…let me get another box of chocolate that I stack somewhere….

Manga
For a person like me who likes reading Japanese manga (English translated, of course), reading newly released mangas can be overwhelming. The first time I started reading manga, it made me feel dizzy, nauseated, and confused….simply because the Japanese read backwards! It took me awhile to get used to the Japanese reading style and I am quite thankful nowadays that manga have become more popular here in the States. Although it may take awhile for the publishers to release mangas and get it licensed, there are some manga fanatics out there who are truly dedicated to bring joy to us….manga addicts and they would translate it.
So far, I’ve read quite a bunch of manga and my bedroom is now messier than before. Anyway, I particularly love reading shojo manga with lots of adventure in the story line. I think I would mention some of the mangas that I’ve read. Here goes: Love Hina, WISH by CLAMP, Fushigi Yugi by Yu Watase, Kare Kano, Fruits Basket, Black Cat, Naruto, Ouran High School Host Club, Vampire Knight, Gash Bell, Prince of Tennis, Full Moon, Ayashi No Ceres, NANA, Marmalade Boy, InuYasha, Four Leaf Clover, Tail of the Moon, Peach Girl, W Juliet, and a whole lot more!
