my sore throat has now developed into a cough...
and how irritating it gets...
rather than having sporadic coughs, i haf long coughing fits which usually makes my throat even more irritated as i cough and sometimes, even to a point that i am almost hacking away as if my lungs are gonna be coughed up...
once again... why do i not haf fever or those mild illness that will juz go away with 1-2 days of bedrest...
i hate coughs...
as much as i abhor the flu or sore throat...
anyway, put up some new movies and anime to look out for in the coming months... lots of sequels... ice age 2, fast and the furious 3, x-men 3, pirates of carribean 2, etc...
new anime include, aria, ah my goddess 2 (Yeah!!), xxxholics, GSD spinoff (ughh) etc... can't wait all to come out soon...
wat is it with sequels that people keep going back to watching them even though they're always only half as good as the first one? me included...
it's still a mystery yet to be solved...

akito
OMG!!the nicest, sweetest picture of akito ever from the latest furuba chapter... (chp124)
lots of things have happened and i'm not gonna spoil people, but juz thot i'll give an eye-treat to those who are currently reading furuba...
the manga is ending soon... i can't wait for the conclusion... given the story climax is almost over, i'm hoping for a good, non-abrupt ending... unlike hanakimi, or worse, shaman king... *bleh*
in other news...

*sighs*
i miss my pink phone...

rubbish things...
really wanted to blog abt Munich, but so much other rubbish things happened to me over the weekend... and it all started with my kayaking trip to east coast on sat...
rubbish thing No.1: lost my VS2 Pink phone
ahhhh!!!! stupid stupid stupid... i dun even remember when i lost it... probably dropped it at the MacDonald's where we were meeting... i'm upset, but i'm surprised that i'm not that upset... but that, i meant like tearing-hair, screaming and cursing and swearing upset...
*sighs* guess age does gets on you... you tend to let things go more easily...
oh well... i'm gonna get back the same phone, with my mom's hp plan... the VS2 at retail price is still expensive... freaking $398 even after like 1yr plus...
anyway, thank God that day i brought my PDA out with me... cos i was going to attend a friend's mom's funeral service, and if i din haf my PDA, i wouldn't have all my contacts ready at hand and i wouldn't be able to contact my friend to get the address...
and thank God i regularly update my contacts too... cos i would've lost all my contacts with my phone if i din...
rubbish thing No.2: terrible sunburn
one of the worst sunburn i've ever gotten... my hands, my legs, my FACE!! i was in extreme pain while undergoing internal combustion at the same time... din even dare to cross my legs for the 1st few days cos it was so painful to apply pressure on my legs which were still emitting extreme heat... couldn't turn while sleeping cos my arms were emitting heat too...
i hate to say this, but donny, it's really your fault... either directly or indirectly... wat happened to be a 2hr kayaking became a 4hr thing cos we had to try to retrieve back that single kayak which you sat on...
of cos, we were also at fault for not putting on sunblock... everyone forgot to bring, and was too stingy and lazy to buy a new one...
i bet they were thinking the same thing as me, "it's ok, only 2hrs mah... sunburn abit also nevermind..."
i'm never going to think that again when i go kayaking...
well, thank God that the sunburn was only on the front side (abit bad also lah, cos got uneven tan), or i wouldn't have been able to sleep at all if my back was burnt too...
rubbish thing No.3: got sick
think it was all the heatiness and not drinking enough fluids, but right after we finished, i developed a sore throat... got worst cos i was working on sun night and din get to sleep... mom bought herbal tea for me and i was finishing it even before 10pm!!
thank God i still had one packet of 夏桑菊 (xia sang ju) herbal tea in the pantry... would've gotten much worse without it... that was my life-saver!!
anyway, i got 2 day mc for it... heehee... the extra day was not really for the sore throat (which haf now developed into a cough), but i think i would be writhing in my lab coat with my terrible sunburn if i went back on tue or wed...
my face is a sight to see now... have patches all over, esp on my forehead... i look terrible!! another thing to thank God for, went to cut my fringe last week... if not, nothing will be able to stop people from staring at my very ugly forehead now...
wat i need to do for the next few weeks:
stop myself from peeling off the dry skin on my face!!!
i noe... i got ichy hands....
ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!
all in all... i wouldn't say it was a terrible week... it was a lousy week with all the rubbish things... but i did enjoy the kayaking, even if it turned out to be longer than expected... and through the rubbish things that happened to me, i still managed to experience God work in His small ways...
there's always something to be gained out of the "bad" things that happened in life... it's whether you choose to see it or not... i prefer to be the more optimistic one...
the glass is always half filled...
smile everyone... ^_^.``

RR's PoT ranking
after procrastinating for so long...
RR's PoT ranking
(after 31 books and 178 episodes)
*images courtesy of youthful days gallery*
1) Fuji Syuusuke - still my fav... he's juz way too cool in the tennis courts... love him in all the chibi episodes too... mwahahaha... did i mention that he has a sadistic streak too... kekeke... think so... BUT!! i so didn't want him to lose to tezuka... >_<."
2) Kikumaru Eiji - Hoi hoi!! he's my next fav now! u juz can't stop grinning or laughing when eiji's around... he's an even better mood maker than momo... and u can see that perfectly during the Junior Invitational Team story arc... kawaii!!
3) Atobe Keigo - HA! i bet there's a big "HUH??!!" going around now... or maybe not... hmm... judging from my preference of anime bishonens, the possibility is quite high really... captain of Hyotei Gakuen, i'm starting to love him and his arrogant ways...
he's super rich and has no problems in flaunting it around... he's also super flashy whenever he makes an entrance to the courts before a game... kekeke...
maa, he did accept tezuka's request to have exchange games with seigaku during their training even though he wasn't obliged to... so he's not that bad... and he trains really hard by himself too...
4) Tezuka Kunimitsu - he's not around much since he's all the way in germany doing rehab for his arm... but when he is around, he never fails to give people the feeling that everything's gonna be alright...
5) Shishido Ryou - yup, another one going up on the charts... i'm getting to love the players from the other schools a lot... he and ohtori are a great doubles team... almost as good as eiji and oishi... rem i said he was very haughty in the beginning? well not anymore... but that doesn't mean you can push him around too...
6) Momoshiro Takeshi - momo's still momo... ever as funny, ever as mischievous... put him together with eiji and they're an unstoppable duo that loves to meddle into other people's business with hilarious results...
7) Sengoku Kiyosumi - Yamabuki's "lucky Sengoku"... after being defeated by momo and kamio during the prefectural games, he decided to change the way he plays tennis... his comeback in the junior invitational team (and defeating momo in a match) was what put him in top 10 placing... he actually incorporated boxing style into tennis... another great mood maker, and one that loves chasing after girls too... haha...
8) Akutagawa Jirou - No. 2 Ace from Hyotei, u'll see him sleeping most of the time, but when he meets strong competitors (eg. Fuji), he wakes up from his half-sleep state and get really really excited... even when he lost to Fuji during the prefectural games (of course!), he had a very happy face... he really does loves a good match...
9) Oshitari Yuushi - Hyotei's own tensai player... even has his own higuma otoshi like fuji... difference between them is that oshitari is more of a doubles player while fuji is a singles player... he's the tensai for doubles... love his kansai-ben... heehee...
10) Hikaru Amane - from Rokkaku, he's the king of all bad puns... but sometimes, even his bad puns are funny... heehee... one of his team mates, Kurobane Harukaze can't stand it and always hits/kicks him after he tells a bad pun... uses a special racket made by his coach (who is this very very old man) that has a long handle... in fact, each member of Rokkaku has their rackets hand-made by the coach...
comedy moments in PoT, brought to you by:
Inui - nothing can stop him from inventing new juices and upgrading his Penal-Tea (note: pun intended)
Kawamura Takashi (Taka-san) - "BURNING!!" that's wat Taka-san says whenever he holds a tennis racket in his hand... usually, he's the timid, shy, and helpful person... But once he takes up a racket, his personality changes... Drastically... ryoma used him on many occasions whenever they're doing laps to make a way thru the other regulars in front of him... heehee...

tenipuri end...
finished! I've finally finished!!!!
All 178 episodes of the Prince of Tennis!!!
I think i must've watched more than 80 episodes in the past week. but it was worthed it to finish up the entire series before the OVA starts in 2 weeks' time.
Roar Roar's commentary for Tenipuri...
the good...
Chibi attacks
haha... always the highlights after a major competition... I love the chibi episodes, esp the last few ones which had the seigaku team playing different members of a family... hilarious to the end...
Junior Invitational Team camp
now this is something that i love... and one of the better fillers i've seen compared to that in kenshin or bleach... had most of the best players from the kantou schools in a training camp to choose the best players to go against the US Junior Invitational Team.
the matches were great and you get to see combinations btn the diff schools... from fuji-saeki pairing, to a rematch between sengoku and momo...
fav singles match, atobe VS sanada
fav doubles match, eiji-ootori VS oishi-shishido
Tezuka VS Fuji
spanning 3 episodes at the end of the series, it was a fantastic match!! just dun watch it while ur sibling is sleeping behind u and all u want is to scream "YOSHA!!!" when Fuji gets a point... heehee... but that's just me...
the not so good...
Storyline
ok, the story drifted from the manga right when they started prepping for their game with Rikkaidai... the formation for the teams during the Seigaku-Rikkaidai matches were still the same, but the matches in the manga were much more exciting...
Ryoma in US Open
HUH!?!?!
i thot that was going abit far out. he's only13 for goodness' sake!!
and defeating tezuka in the final episode?!?! i'm already sadden that fuji was defeated by tezuka during the regulars ranking tournament...
no doubt this is ryoma's story but it should be alittle realistic wat... this is tennis, not ninjitsu...
on the last episode...
seriously, there was too much "special effects" during the ryoma-tezuka match that i thot i was watching gundam or cooking master boy or something...
i mean, wat's with all the cylones & energy blasts scenes when you really want to see the ball going back and forth the players? too much dramatization...
but overall, tenipuri is a great series... lots of exciting matches, bishonen-galore, very very cute chibis, funny sempais & even funnier moments of inui juices (penal-tea, aozu, akazu)...
i'm so looking forward to the OVA. it's right where they left off in the series.
NATIONALS!!!
next entry: tenipuri top 10...
