easy there


my love of reading manga came way back when i was in high school, i think. my mom sent me a volume of:

  • Negima!
  • Rave Master
  • Chobits
  • i forgot the one.. the title has a 'Monster' on it. (i'm still thinking.. i'll edit this if i remember it)
I was in awe. Preferably by the volume of Rave Master! It was so funny and so cool! I thought I'll love reading the whole idea of manga.
But along the way, I stopped. I don't know when.. but my attention was somehow turned into fiction books. Three years ago, i returned into being a manga reader. 

One thing i definitely learned is that you shouldn't get too attached in ways that isn't reality-based. One shouldn't expect his/her life to be like in manga--especially shoujo ones. At first, i thought it was really pathetic that certain situations are like that. I know, i am not sure that certain circumstances aren't real.. but sometimes having to have a tough heart, open mind and lower, chill expectations to things saves you from heartbreak especially when the manga is over. 

Remember, reality is there that is why fiction is created. You can't simple expect a tall, handsome guy with glasses will sweep you off your feet when you "accidentally" bumps into him in the school ground with bubbles and flowers and sparkles everywhere and be with him knowing it's fate. Reality is reality because we can't really know how it will work in the future. We doesn't have a manual book for us to guide us.

My advice: It all goes down to meeting your friends on weekends(or when you're available)to be with them just to enjoy the day. And you'll take it from there. You know what I mean? Go outside. Pinch yourself first. You have to have a real life perspective. Don't let a fake emotion towards the shoujo boy you love and adore makes the most of your life.

It's best to have limits. It's okay to have an opinion over a manga but look around, are you gonna make your December reading Xmas-related manga updates?
Yeah, I know you love HIM!--that boy in that shoujo manga who always rescue that naive girl who wear glasses but.. have you really tell your parents you love them?

Having to pat you from reality... I'm out! :)

from someone who is inlove with manga(but have a good life ahead of her--i wish(laughs))
