So there is a Tesco in China! And it's in Shanghai?!
What?

My little sister got pissed today. She wants to know why she didn't tell me that the Disgaea 2 manga's out now and now she wants me to buy it, when I know that the Manchester's Forbidden Planet and Travelling Man had sold out due to stock, but I either said that I refuse to get it for her or she would have to go by herself and order one from these two stores.
To be honest, I felt rather please on taking the role as her older sister, because I act like one and giving her the more tough sisterly love shows that she would have to stop relying on me to get her own desire by giving money to me, so that I could buy for her more and start going out more to do some more social stuff to enjoy herself and do something for herself.
Otherwise I have some fears that she would be isolated from her friends than anyone else in the world and instead of going out to enjoy herself (mentally and physically), she would choose to stay at home doing absolutely nothing (this is going to be worse when Summer arrives, as well as her taste as an university student in September when a lot of new friends came be made) and start relying on other people just to get things that she wanted and give money to me/him/her when she would have just do it by herself (yeah, I'm not much of a trustworthy sister to her, but I might have fears that other people as well as me, would just use her money just to buy his/her/my own desires and have some lies telling her and she would believe one bit).
*Sigh* I just want to teach her that she would only rely on me when things get serious on her and I have no choice, but to help as a sister or when she desperately want to get some emotional help.
Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to research on this anime called Lucky Star (and finding that damn manga!).

Tired that Tokyopop is keeping secrets on how long they're just going to keep World Embryo and not really translating the whole first two (and beyond) manga volumes at all, I'm going to make some summaries on each chapter Young King Ours had just released each month.
I got fed up on why Tokyopop hadn't set a release date for this, ever since they got the first two volumes and managed to file a threating lawsuit to one scanlation group *coughM7cough*on preventing them to scanlate further chapters, so starting somewhere in the beginning of July, I'm starting this whole World Embryo summary beginning with chapter 17 and make a new blog dedicated to my favourite manga-ka's work, just like Igadevil's Kamen Rider blog. Only you just have to deal with the Japanese kanji for now, until Tokyopop was ever bothered to release them.
And although I got the jist of the storyline a bit since chapter 17, there's some dialogue that are beyond my basic Japanese language skills and I need some very skilled people who can translate the RAW chapters, though not pretty much going as far as scanlating them in actual fact (I just want the whole summary). Or I can just guess what the characters are saying on my own and get the readers to correct me or something. So you readers better tell me which is the better choice! RIGHT NOW!

I managed to find the 'genius' behind Half Life: Full Life Consequences on the Fanfiction.net site and I got to say, I laughed really hard when I read its sequel: What Has To Be Done. I laughed so hard, I really want to know if there's a YTMND.com version of the sequel or an animation of this! You can visit the genius' FF.Net account here.
Right, if someone has got links to What Has To Be Done adapted animation or the YTMND stuff, I'll be glad to put theme here and smile at your risk.

Man, last night I watched the rest of Busou Renkin (the anime) and safe to say, the last three episodes made me cry, ESPECIALLY when Kazuki said sorry to Tokiko as he let go of her hand from his Buso Renkin, Sunlight Heart and then thrusted Victor to the Moon (that was 24). Seriously, I want to say the manga-ka (Watsuki-sensei, aka the guy who did Rurouni Kenshin) is a master when it comes to romance and drama in a shounen manga and I love how Kazuki really cared for EVERYONE, including Victor himself; even though he's Kazuki's 'enemy'.
Episode 25 was the most intense that I even seen, because it shows the aftermath of what happened to 24 and I felt really sorry for Tokiko, because she geniunely loves Kazuki from the beginning of the series and she doesn't want to let him go, even as far as protecting him, willing to give her life to save him. Even Kazuki's classmates, his sisters, her friends, Gouta, Captain Bravo and even his 'rival', Papillon were feeling sad that Kazuki has 'disappeared' for over a month and feeling empty without him.
As for episode 26, now that was beautiful...I cried in the middle and this was just...*sob*...I won't tell you what happened at the end, as I don't want to spoil you, so just watch the whole series, okay?
Well, that's Busou Renkin don, next stop, getting the manga itself! (And yeah, I'm a fan of Watsuki's works, especially when he mixes drama, comedy and romance into one shounen manga. ^_^) Just like to say thanks to XEBEC (and the director) for adapting the manga to the anime very nicely (as B.R. was already finished last year) and closely for once, even though I hate them when they adapt Negima to the TV screen and saying thanks to that 'group' for translating this wonderful series.

Just seen Den-O 19 and I have to say, Yuuto Sakurai and his Imagin 'butler', Deneb, would make a really great comedy duo. XD There, I said it.
Even though I have fears that Yuuto would be more of an asshole, like Kusaka from Faiz and the actor's Kiriya from Hibiki, Deneb serves as a foil to him making him more likable (if you watch Ryukendo and the later episodes, you know what I mean) and humanize a bit, as he knew Yuuto the most, since he made a contract to the 'butler' Imagin and knew that beneath his contract's spoiled personality and body, lies a kind and noble soul inside his heart. I'm actually loving Deneb as a whole and is adding to my favourite list alongside Ryotaro's Imagin. It likes their roles were reveresed from Ryo and Momo; with Deneb = Ryotaro and Yuuto = Momotaros. XD It's a good thing that Den-O doesn't try to be Kabuto ver.2 or the sequel to Hibiki and Faiz. Now, that wouldn't fit the light-hearted atmosphere to Den-O's world.
Now, I'm enjoying Den-O more than Gekiranger (only being saved by Rio and Mele (with Bae as the 'other comedy duo'). Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to do some Takeru Sato fanart that I was supposed to finished or something.

YOSH! FINALLY! I got the first Phoenix Wright game and yes, Manfred von Karma is on my favourite lists of villains. He's a really cool (OMG! Headbang!) and yet at the same time, scary prosecutor who wants to get anything to have a guilty verdict. And then there's Damon Gant - *shudders* seriously, he's one really scary Police Chief when you meet him.
And then recently I watched Pirates of the Carribean 3. And although the movie had some cool fights, characters and managing to fill up the loose ends to the last two movies, the storyline was pretty much weak (a wee confusing to me, even though I watched the last two Pirates) itself, only being saved by Johnny Depp's performance on Jack Sparrow and cameo appearances from The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards and Chow Yun Fat (Dammit! Why did Sao Feng had a *CENSORED FOR SPOILER'S SAKE* appearance?! He was such a cool Pirate Captain!).
Eurgh. June...I hate that month, because there's only one thing that Ladymercury didn't have in her nice home in Flordia, while I'm suffering from - Hayfever. I hate that month, because whenever I go outside and see flowers everywhere, my nose would increase the sneezing by about ten times from normal and then follow the 'itching' inside my mouth (just don't ask) and sometimes rubbing my eyes (until I rub them too much).
Just give me July...I would do anything to make the Hayfever stop coming to ruin my life evey year!
