cute little things..

The facts of reading manga are one, you can feel you are in that world, two, you aren't but it's okay because you can read it all the time repeatedly as often as you like and last, how cute are they?! I mean, when your side of childhood kicks in, you feel as if the real world paused, your favorite protagonist gets to begin his/her new adventure and you believe you are there with him/her caring no more about your surroundings and cheering that character. Whether it's a shoujo, fantasy, horror or adventure, along the way you read something really cute and immediately hit that save option to savour the scene every time. I was browsing my anime and manga pictures and these pictures below brightens up my day. here are some of my crops i want you to see.(maybe you can submit your favorite cropped scene too and tell me why you liked it here. )
1. a page from Strobe edge(i forgot to save the page and chapter)
         --- eyyyyy! >.< come on, who gets to forget this part? I think i posted this already at my tumblr page but didn't really tell about how i love this. while i'm at this part, i realized how cute it was to see a boy all-curious, all-cute and all-red when he, who never expects, immediately received a call(or even a simple text) from a girl he likes. Ren-Ren-Ren.. why you no real?! >.<
While I've been in tumblr for some couple of years now, i always read quotes and confessions of girls who feel lack of confidence for the one they love and almost all of them has unrequited love. you know, it's the real world. i feel bad about every girls out there but still wish them the best. i terribly believe it will come at the right time, don't you think?! And before you know it, your texts and calls are like treasures of your Mr. Right. I just hope you and and other girls out there knew that our world will not be perfect like in a shoujo manga where it's easy to fall in-love, cry, kiss and make-up. You will come across things other than that. Maybe not the same like in two-dimentional world, but one thing is for sure and is better - you can feel it yourself real when the right time comes.

                                                           
2. sand chronicles 'i know'-moment

-- Personally, i really don't like kids. My myanimelist.com (tell me if you want to be friends with me, i made a new one, my personal account though) friend suggested this manga and i read it and when i got to read these pages i thought it was cute. I babysit these days, you know?! I never imagined i will babysit in my entire life to get some bucks because kids might kill me. i might lose my patience but having to study in college about developmental milestones and stuffs helped me make it until now (laughs).
Okay so first, who read Sand Chronicles? I say, not the best but when you've come across some manga lovers they'll say it's good. Having to compare with some popular manga like Kimi ni Todoke and Bokura ga ita, you might wanna try. You know, the very essence of such true love really tells me about having to show and feel it without any efforts. It will come naturally. Forget the flowers, forget the chocolates, forget the dates and expensive vacation. If he's the one, he can make a simple walk into an adventure, can paint yellow sunshine into your gray days and make that simple day extra special.
                                                                             3. a glimpse of reality (teru moment with the dog)
I really love pets. though i prefer a fluffy cat than a dog, i also love them specially when you get to see them everyday and always excited when you gets home. At the picture, Teru was being avoided by the dog. If I was her, i will be sad. I prefer being hated by kids than pets (hehe). I remember the girl protagonist in Beast Master(manga) who always scratched by her cat because the cat doesn't like her. Then she meet this scary guy resembles a wild animal attitude than anything human but with affinity with animals, then at the end they fell in love with each other. (i got to spoil it there, right?! im sorry..)
When i was in my grade school years I had this cat  adopted and at first she scratched me in my jaw.. she was little back then. Oh.. my first heartbreak. >.< I named her Cathy.
I lost her already and I'm planning to have one in the future.

4. Last, and definitely not the least (because i have some
cropped pictures more and will be posted maybe
some other time..): catch - hana no kishi scene
---- These are Ibarra, Rin and Saiki, if i'm not mistaken. I was in awe and somehow didn't expect this scene to happen. Ran is about to jump off of the building and this crazy guys somehow wanted to be supermEn or knights in uniforms when they automatically lifted their hands ready to catch Ran whenever she is ready to fall.

*mwah. thank you for reading. - fymb

unrequited.

It's already 1:24 am(maybe this will be posted later this afternoon). My monitor clock ticks the same with all other clocks in this city. Probably, most of the people are sleeping right now. But me, just starting my day after I got home a while ago. You'll be expecting some randomly being posted still until before two. After that, I'm dropped dead. You'll be seeing me at tokyo or right beside Kazehaya(laughs). I'm already dreaming. So here is the topic... 'Unrequited love'. I am browsing my 'plan to read' category a while ago at my myanimelist profile and I selected this featured manga with a different title. I'm excited to read a new one. It's because my few favorites didn't update yet. I am also fond of discovering manga. I really like 90's manga. And when I say 90's it's when sketches are like all faces(haha) and the background is completely boring. And don't forget the 90's haircuts! haha. To cut it off, I don't know why I like them.,grrr.(but this new manga is not from 90's, just sayin')

So then again, I opened this manga and the summary was  catchy. Even if, it feels like it's 'the same as others' at first, it can't be helped. Unrequited love is love and love is romantic love and romantic love is amazing and..well, you know what I mean. We relate. That's important. It's about the story of a girl student with her bffs liking a certain idol at school. At first, she never feels for the guy but a meeting at a train changed it all. The guy accidentally broke her cellphone accessory and the introduction began. (fastforward) So after finding herself feeling love, confession accidentally said at the train station and rejection, even if it was kindly said, stabbed her hopeful heart.
Unrequited, indeed.

Is it ok to love a person continuously after hearing him say 'thank you, but sorry. I'm seeing someone right now'? This question lingered at my head during my commute to a destination after reading the few chapters of the manga this morning. It reached my philosophies in life but never shaken. After the answer above, the girl accepted it and hoped to maintain the friendship. Unrequited love like this, makes me question feelings. I'm loving the speed of time so my questions always specifies time as a common factor. Like, how long should you endure a broken heart? How long did one-sided love be as it is? Did unrequited love can grow and develop? If love is associated with growing, how unrequited love grow? When only one person feels the love, how can she be paid when waiting is not an option?

The guy friend of the the male leadl who is in-love with the girl asked about her feelings. It strucked my senses. He said, "What do you want to be to him?" That's right, my mind suddenly reacted. If only one person feels love, how far will it go and what to do you want to accomplish towards that person?. The female lead said that at times when she was with the guy, she always hope to make it last. She also said that her feelings were no place to go, they just piled up. She said it's fine and enough. Both parties are true. Yes, it's legal to like someone and to develop those feelings into love. But hopes getting up bit by bit everytime she as with the guy as he gazes and stares and laughs and eat choolates. You wanted to make it last. Yet, at the end of the day, he'll be back at his girlfriend. You are looking all with the cutest and positive way possible to let no hurt barge in. But, at some point, where does this go? Did this love has limits?

On the other hand, the guy's friend love the girl and decided to win the girl by trying his best. By staying at her side, he balances reality for her. And, if reality strikes, he always finds himself presenting it to the girl. He once said that her loved-one has a girlfriend and wishing for anything is not okay.

I'll be talking about this guy then, to whom the girl lead strikes her love into. Seriously, He's really hot. The fact that you will always look after his actions and observe his habits can make you realize why she fell in love with him. A typical idol looking but reveales a different approach that makes it even more mysterious. Other shoujo manga boys doesn't love sweets, but he does. Others ignore their fans but he acknowledges them even if he has been called by his name for the nth time everyday. Others are not nice and playboy but he's the kindest. He smiles always in front of someone he really likes(guess who?) as if he was just told the first hilariously joke on earth.;)

Ok.. I'm gonna stop now, this is taking too long. hihi. I'm gonna clear out one thing, love surely is mysterious. It can't be helped when it's already there.. but things develop, seasons pass, and seriously, people change! So... there must be love! ;)
