marching March

How are you guys? Are you loving my posts in my tumblr account? I haven't posted last February! i missed posting here so i have to at least say hi and thanks. Don't worry, im not going anywhere... i was just busy these past few days so posting blog post is impossible back then. (or i was just skipping a valentine post?!--uhm.. you'll never know) *smirks*

It's March! How is that?! Time flies so fast. One day we were having a nice, hot chocolate squeezing some winter blanket..and now, it's March and..i couldn't wait any longer for Spring and tulips, and Summer and... uhm... heat stroke? *lol

Activities? I am currently re-watching Naruto: Shippuden and taking my time. I am continuing to read Skip Beat because it always humors me and i think it is so funny(how could you resist Rin's grin, huh? and that.. beautiful warm eyes). Reading oneshots doesn't hurt either. If you are in goodreads.com, yes, i have an account there too, and i am always online. If you want to be my friend there, let me know. ;) I am really a bibliophile. I will be very happy to be your friend if you love books as much as i do. ;)

I have some manga recommendations, as to what this blog is for. About manga, my life in a glimpse(as you may want it-pardon the narcissism*hehe*) and .. uhm.. boys. Fictional ones. *laughs*

Let's begin?! Oh yeah!

I am a sucker in sad endings. Whenever i sense a manga that it will conclude into not so good end(and in the middle of the story already), i try to stop and drop it out. It's not healthy for me! I have big eyebags and no, i don't want to have it doubled by crying. But, the masochist in me.. wanted to continue a good read(as many people say) and i should have to. Besides, one good thing about reading a story is that, you would want to know what the ending is. It's that one thing in reading that tops life, it has an ending. It has a conclusion.. and whether you like it or not, it will end in a fixed time that you yourself know and somehow, be prepared to.

Take this manga: (it has it's movie!)

I know some of you guys had already read it through summaries but i am waiting still for translations(oh, i hate spoilers). ;) And even if i said above that i am somewhat prepared to manga endings, i can't help myself being lonely about such good manga coming to an end. Awww.. ;((((

hi! how are you guys? the weather here is killing me! if i would to describe what i see outside from my window.. i will say that it's a dark, chilly night nice enough to contemplate what you love and talk about it!

Many followers in my tumblr account always asks about my personal favorites and recommendations. If you are one of them, you can actually see all my recommendations in this blogger account. This is where I always tell all of the manga i currently reading and anime that i'm watching. You just have to click tags that you like. All of my posts are about my thoughts about them. I also posts crops about each of the chapters i enjoyed reading. Most of my crops here are usually not being posted in the tumblr account so that makes it more personal! ;)

You can actually ask about something and post it here. And, I will reply with all my heart's content here! ;)

So.. here you go.. i  have more to come next time! mwahhh! - fymb

read and behold..

new recommendations, you say?
recommendations.. it is!..

but.. but.. first.. let me greet you a happy new year! this blogger account has been alive again(after just.. 3 days hiatus..lol) and will be keepin' alive this 2012. i promise!!
do you believe in resolutions? you know, when you have to set your goals again? because.. if it's me.. i'll be just staying the same. if i didn't get to hurt someone then maybe.. maybe i have been walking along in the right path all this time.
besides,  i think if we start any resolutions, it can begin any time we want. it's not really  'strongly' impost to begin in a new year. i terribly believe that if we, ourselves are the one who can start it in any day we enthusiastically planned and promise to begin, it can really work. anytime.

so without much further ado, here are some of the manga i read(forgot some, give me time) from last dec until this very moment.! ;)

completed:

Love-Berrish! (Manga)

This new dorm of hers, the Strawberry Tree Dorm, turns out to be a place with weird people -- a girl that touches her chest out of the blue, a guy with one of the shortest tempers ever. BUT the good thing is, there's a really handsome and nice guy that she fell in love with instantly! Also, not to mention a crazy cat who adores him (looks can be deceiving...). Yuya's life has just became much more interesting...

fymb thoughts:

I'm team Nagisa all the way! I remember the first time i'm reading its first chapters, i thought of dropping it. those were the times when i'm sick of reading shoujo manga and i don't want to read another shit same thing again. same girl protagonist who always having a hard confessing. With.. a really super duper kindest, megagalactic hot times a thousand and hottest-than-the-king-sun bishounen who turn to be the dumbest that he doesn't even know that a girl like him-which is the only negative trait- who for sure in the end, even if all he gonna do is sit, can get the girl without doing any hint of trying.

but, as you all know, i'm all giving every manga another chance.. another slip. and then, here comes me.. totally giving this manga my farewell. ;(

Let's just say, if you are a shoujou believer, i think you'll be escaping what am i talking here because like me, you already finished this one. (and yes, i see you nodding.) But.. if you are a chick who, let me say, want to read some sweet manga that can make you smile in front of your beloved screens.. this is one of those.

stars: i'll give it a three.. (make it four.. for uber cute Nagisa! >.<)

Kimi wa Boku no Toriko Nare (Manga)

They attach to him a new maid, with glasses, naturally clumsy and ill-mannered... who turns out to be his new bodyguard, defending Tomoe with her mop!

fymb thoughts:

who can resist reading a manga with a cute maid - a badass chick that can hit your butt with her mop slash weapon?! who can resist a cute bishounen and a future heir of a big company? and did i say, he have some nice good-looking friends oozing with pheromones? tell me, because i might net-slap him! ;))

kidding aside.. love this chick. i am really into admiring a sexy all-action babe than a school girl who have a messy dramatic life because she can't even put a hundred-times-written love letter with small heart on it on every space she see, into her crush's locker. so read this one and update your myanimelist account. ;)
