The Empress’ Game!
Where life is not played seriously…(:EmpressOfDrac.Com
I’ve been waiting for 1and1’s confirmation email since yesterday evening, but it seems like their promise of sending me my log in details within 24-hours has vanished to thin air . I signed up for their Beginner web hosting package, the one with a free domain name and a 10GB web space. I really have no idea why until now they haven’t sent my log in details yet. I feel a little unsatisfied, since aside from the hosting package fee, they also charged me another $6 for “security of the processing of my order”. I don’t have any idea how that “thing” works.
Anyways, at last I bought EmpressOfDrac.com. Whew! Such a relief because I’ve been planning to buy this domain name a year ago, but I just got the opportunity to buy lately. I’ve been using this monicker since 2004 and starting that time, my close friends didn’t call me by my real name anymore. Hehehe! They call me press, empress, emp, empret… That’s why if someone is calling me by my real name that means that person ain’t a close friend of mine.
I hope can already access my cpanel tomorrow so that I can start switching from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. This way I can freely put ads in here. WordPress would actually charge $10/year in order for me to change my domain name and also for them to automatically redirect my old site to the new one. Gosssh! I better be good with this stuff so that I can pay my credit bills. Grrr…
Limited Lovers
Please don’t be fooled by the title or make prejudgments because it sounds so lousy. This tear-breaker shoujo by mangaka Yamada Keiko is the very first manga that made me cry.
Limited Lovers, unlike any other manga I’ve read has a very strong plot, and other shoujos absolutely fade in comparison. On the other hand, just like any other shoujos this one is definitely full of idealism. But you would absolutely forget about that as every chapter is carefully painted by painful struggles, and is gently stitched by unwavering hopes and faiths.
Olympics Deception
I’m quite flabbergasted with this news about the fake performance of a child balladeer during the opening
day of the Olympics in Beijing, China.
According to the news when Lin Miaoke, (in the right), opened her mouth to sing “Ode to the Motherland” during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, the voice that was actually heard was a recording of seven-year-old Yang Peiyi(left).
Miaoke performed before an estimated one billion viewers woldwide, but unfortunately, the voice they were listening to is not hers. It is the voice of the seven-year old Peiyi.
Peiyi was intentionally not chosen to perform because she’s not that good looking compared to Miaoke. Chen Qigang, the general music designer of the opening ceremonies said that the child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feeling and expression.
These Chinese people are really into fakes. No wonder most pirated and imitation stuffs like dvds, jeans, etc. mostly came from China. I guess their effort to impress the world made them look stupid. Oh, well that’s just my opinion.
Shinigami Lovers
- Shinigami Lovers
The chain of Thanatos’ lover! It is an invisible chain used by a Shinigami the moment he takes the soul of a mortal who’s going to die.
Miku’s accidental death due to the system crash of the database of the Death World causes her to be literally tied up to Sei, a Shinigami, with a chain called the Thanato’s lover. She and Sei are bound to be tied up until she can fully live her entire life span. But what will happen if the two will fall in love to each other?
Well, this manga is another shoujo delight. It’s actually a quick read because it’s only composed of 12 chapters and a special story at the ending. If you’re used to seeing a very tall, gawky, and ugly Shinigami like those characters in Deathnote then you better think twice. Hehehe!
Jolie-Pitt’s twins
A $14 million worth photo shoot for the world’s famous celebrity twins. Things are just getting bigger
Jolie and Pitt's Twins
andbetter for the gorgeous couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
I guess there are already lots of articles about this topic and it would be useless to write more. I just posted this because I’m actually a fan of this two wonderful people. Their family is getting bigger and bigger and very colorful. Hehehe!
Tonsillitis
I’m so sleepy but I cannot sleep(toinx!). My tonsil hurts a lot and I feel sooo tired. I guess I ate a lot of fruit salad yesterday. That is the reason why my throat has been infected. I know I really can’t resist the temptation of overeating yummy foods. I’m such a sucker for sweets and well, my goal to lose weight was put aside for the sake of gluttony. What a shame!
My friends’ comment when they see me is always “You’re fat!” Grrrrr! WTF! I’ve been dieting for two weeks now and all I can hear is that friggin’ comment. Hukhukhuk! How I wish I can get back the body I had when I was working in Global Grant. Maybe I should practice the habit of eating oatmeal again during lunch. That way I can attain my goal of losing weight. Hahaist…
Irish’s Wedding
A wacky pose with the bride
Anyways, last Saturday was Irish’s Wedding. And as usual I overate and well, no dieting for that day. How can you diet when you are surrounded with yummy foods? I guess I should not attend occasions like that for I will definitely lose my cool. And I would definitely end up becoming an old fat hag. How pathetic. ):
I’m actually happy that she’s settling down and I guess she’s really into that kind of stuff. I mean some people are really into marriage and some like me are well, maybe destined to spinsterhood? Hehehe! I’m actually thinking how would I look like if that’s my predestined fate. Tsk…tsk…I guess there’s no such thing as predestined fate. I mean it’s all in your hands. You’re the one who’s in control of your life. And I guess those old maids I know don’t really want to marry because they are more in love with their single life. Am I right?
And so and so and so…Hehehe!
Love Monster
- Love Monster
A very entertaining shoujo by mangaka Miyagi Riko. Hehehe! I just finished reading the whole series which is composed of 82 chapters. The monster world is indeed one of the most interesting and magnificent world the human mind had created.
Love Monster is definitely a one of a kind manga! It is very pleasurable to read and the main character is very funny. You can’t help but laugh your ass off as you’re flipping each page chapter by chapter. Miyagi Riko is a very playful writer. You’ll surely love Hiyo and Kurou, the most powerful love monsters in history!
Vampire Knight
The best gothic romance manga ever! You can’t help yourself but fall in love with the nocturnal immortals who grace the pages in its every chapter. Vampire Knight is an ultimate page turner tha
t will keep you at your feet as Yuuki’s hidden secret from the past is slowly revealed.
Kaname Kuran is the character I fell in love the most in this manga. Hahaha! He’s a pure blood vampire who saved Yuuki from a savaged blood-sucker during those cold snowy night ten years ago. I hope there will be new updates for this series. Can’t wait! Hehe!
Cebu Bloggers Meet-Up
Yes! Cebu Bloggers Society does exist! Hahaha! But as I can see, it’s still in its forming stage. I’ve already attended a few meet-ups, and the others even attend press conference and the likes. Hmmn…I’m looking forward to meet more fellow bloggers who are not only into blogging for money. I mean most bloggers I’ve known are so crazed up in monetizing their sites.
Well, I’m not against the idea of blogging for money. In fact, I have blogsites under google adsense. My point is, it should not become the sole purpose why we blog. We blog because we wanted our voices to be heard. We blog to share our unique ideas… to express our individualities and to make unlimited connections to fellow bloggers and people worldwide.
I believe that the passion for blogging is a reflection of our passion for writing. The passion to write should be the primary inspiration for bloggers. In that way, blogging can sustain its true essence. And that’s not definitely the essence of commercialization. It’s because blogging didn’t start as a tool for business, but a powerful tool for individuals to reach out and to be heard.
But on the other side, who doesn’t need money nowadays? Everybody loves to earn while enjoying what they love to do. It actually depends on what side you’re into. Good luck to all bloggers out there!
Billion Girl
I’m quite disappointed that this manga doesn’t have any new updates. At first, I find its story very
unrealistic, cliche, and too shallow. I didn’t even know why I continued reading it. But as the leading characters were slowly revealed, I quickly fell in love with them especially the long-haired guy Taiga. Hehehe! He’s actually a porn-novelist. There, I spilled it. Hahaha. The story is actually very interesting and a bit taboo. You should try to read it.
