Well, time for some blogging. Not quite talkative the past few days... Anyway, my site's updated. Lots of new fics, art, etc. There are certain pages updated too. If you care to explore, you'll find them... *nod nod*

Oh, and I found the SD movie! It's right on the streets, sold for around $4 for all four episodes. What a treat that had been. *grin* Sometimes, there are some good things about a crime-induced country... *cough cough* Anyway, the episodes are being sold as well. SD Eps as well as Hunter x Hunter episodes! ^_^ Fun.

Anyway, my reaction to the movie? I think Michael Okita is Sendoh in disguise! Rayne was totally right in describing him when she wrote her Michael/Rukawa fic. *sniggers* And the coincidence of America... *LOL* I found another seme for Ruru! *gets bapped by Sendoh* @@;;

Moving on... Hmm... Yes, I finally have the latest chapter of 'Wish' out [Chapter 7] and people seem to like it. *grins* I've moved out of the friendship phase and have let them toy with shounen ai and yaoi. More development and more actions going on.

Also, Chapters 3-5 of 'Between Heaven and Hell' had been posted in my site. And there's a very angsty sidestory there as well. Oh, and there's some art for that fic. One of it is drawn by myself. The other is a sexy Ruru disrobing his kimono drawn by 'The Wizard'/Maisarah. Those are posted in the site as well...

Oh, and lastly, to anyone who had asked me what I looked like, here's my photo... ^O^ Don't laugh now!

Which HP Kid Are You?

06:57 p.m.

Just been to Slam Dunk Babble Club and saw... *lol* A HanaRu lemon ficlet that contains erm... cotton candy as an accomplice. *snickers* Short and... er, sweet? Hahaha! ^o^

Well, there's good news... ^^ Heh, it's announced that AXN would be showing Saiyuki starting July 25, 6:30. ^_^ Now that's great news. Free anime once again. Heh...

Oh and... Maisarah just drew a pic of Kaede for me - something from my fic, 'Between Heaven and Hell'. *drool* Yummy pic of Kaede disrobing his kimono... although he doesn't look like he has anything on already. ^_^;; Yummy pic... No wonder he has so much... uhm... admirers. ^_~ *snickers* Thanks for the pic, Maisarah!

11:36 a.m.

Okay, another post... why can't I shut up? -_-;; *does a Dobby* Anyway... Animagus.

So, what is the secret to Severus' spying job? Is he an unregistered Animagus like three of Marauder? Can he turn into a snake maybe? *grin*

Oh, and wouldn't it be nice if Harry, Ron and Hermione would learn how to transfigure themselves into Animagus? Preferably unregistered. It would be more fun and useful that way.

I can't shut up! I can't shut up! T__T I haven't been paying attention to Suikoden News lately since my Playstation had been taken away from me... -_- And I found out just today, from Arcina's blog, that Gensou Suikoden 3 had been released last 7/11 [notice the specific date? ^_~]! I want it!!! T__T I so want it... I want it... I want to know what happened to Flik and Viktor, to Jowy, Nanami and Hero 2... I want to know what happened to Gremio and McDohl. What ever happened to Toran and Jowston? What happened?

But, alas, I have no PS2, I am not capable of deciphering Japanese characters even if I did get my hands on GS3... and all that... But that doesn't make me less eager to want it... I want it!

Take the Purrsonality Quiz!

British Shorties are kinda like a short furred persian. They're very affectionate and mellow kitties. They're just so cuddly! They remind me of teddy bears :D

Warning: Spoilers for all the books of Harry Potter ahead.

Time for some Harry Potter talk, methinks. ^_^; About time. So what exactly is special about the books that were supposed to be directed at children 8-13 years old but had attracted attention from those as old as Dumbledore? *laughs* Maybe it's the flow of the story. It's never hard to understand and something's always going on. The plot will have you transfixed to your seat, making you able to read books 1-3 for one day each book, and book 4 for two days only, despite its thick 600+ pages. There are clues, mysteries, suspects, culprits in your mind. You need to know what would happen next. As you read, it's as if you are in their world, exploring horizons you would never have known because you are, after all, only a Muggle [non-magic person]. ^_^;; And then there are twists along the way, turns that would make you gasp, laugh, smile, cry... Provoke in you emotions you thought you had forgotten as a child. And how does a book end? At the climax, you don't ever want the book to end because of its intensity, its power over you as you sit there, shocked at what had occured and what had been revealed. Your suspects had been wrong. The truth is more complicated than what it had first seemed. And you close the book, looking blurrily at nothing, amazed beyond words. That is the charm of Harry Potter.

Now, let's move on... ^_^; Last night, I've been chatting with dear Nagyra again. From speaking about our favorite vampire Armand, we had moved to speaking about Harry Potter. ^_^ The charm, the slash possibilities, the past, the future, who will play Remus and Sirius... *grin*

First of all, the slash possibilities. What are the most obvious pairs out there? Well, ignoring the popular Harry/Draco, etc, let's move on to the adults. From the Marauder's era, we see...

James/Severus. Now why this? Because Snape Severus loathes James Potter. ^_^ And... *spoiler spoiler* Like Harry/Draco, this could be one of those which can be considered as having that fine line between love and hate. Or simply lust. ^_~ And seeing Severus so passionate in his 'feelings' for James, one just has to think, right? ^o^

Remus/Sirius or Sirius/Remus. Best friends and the only survivors in their circle of friends. ^_^ Both having tragedy embedded inside them. While one suffers from being a werewolf, the other suffers from guilt, thinking that he was cause of the death of his godson's parents. Tragic and angsty, they both /need/ each other... need someone to understand, to sympathize with, to give support and a shoulder to lean on in times of distress. And the hints in the books are just astounding. Just look at how they spoke to each other, how they embraced, how Dumbledore told Sirius to lie low at Remus' place for awhile... ^_~ See, even the old man is trying to get them together.

Severus/Remus. After all, Severus was civil to Remus despite loathing the fact that Remus took his very desired job - Defense against the Dark Arts. Making some potion for Remus, we witnessed in the book, a few moments when Severus showed kindness and concern, basic human traits that he often doesn't show anyone else. ^_~ And I want to make a fic on them. ...Even though I really like Sirius & Remus slash, I like to explore this and maybe write about them. Maybe one fic would do. Just a short thing...

Lucius/Severus. Hehehe... The sudden reaction of Severus upon hearing Lucius name. Severus' favoritism of Lucius' son, Draco. *grin* There would be more... like they were both standing side by side before as Death Eaters... and all that... ^_~ Lots to be explored here.

Okay then... let's move on. From pairing, I want to share a tidbit. It's rumored that for the third movie, it would be Ewan McGregor who would be playing Remus Lupin. *snickers* I for one would really like that! Wouldn't you? ^_~

And the things I want to discuss the most... the future of HP. ^_^ What would happen now? After four books... three more wait to be read. But how will it end? Here's some possibilities that I think /may/ happen, just speculations. ^o^ Don't take them seriously now!

1. What if Voldemort was Harry's father? *receives tomatoes and rotten fruits in the face* O_o;; Maybe not.

2. Okay, how about this? Voldemort said that he would not have killed Harry's mother if she had not been protecting Harry. Now, why would the most powerful wizard be wanting to kill a harmless baby? Did he ask the centaurs about fate? Did he ask Trelawny? *cough cough* Seriously though, Voldemort knew something about Harry - something that only Dumbledore knows and has not yet revealed to Harry... Here's were it gets tricky. What if, in the end, Dumbledore is actually the biggest culprit of them all? Before you gasp and throw stones at me, look at some things...

How about at the end of book 4 when Harry had just told Dumbledore that Voldemort had risen again? There was an expression that said 'triumph' in Dumbledore's eyes for a moment before Harry /thought/ that his eyes might have been deceiving him. But then were his eyes deceiving him? What if they weren't?

Second, how about the history between Voldemort and Dumbledore? As a pupil, Tom Riddle had Dumbledore as one of his teachers. Could that not be a possibility for plans and discussion to take place? And in the years after, was Voldemort really afraid of Dumbledore so as to not oppose him when he was reputed to be the strongest wizard out there? What if it was because Dumbledore was actually his mentor, the true leader of darkness? That his supposed goodness and kindness had been nothing more but great acting?

Now you think... what's in it for Dumbledore? It's a mystery, isn't it? That, I haven't figured out myself but... here's one speculation. He's old. Very old and beginning to weaken. And yet, he's full of life, isn't he? What if he and Voldemort are in alliance with seeking for immortal life? It could be that! ^_^;;

Anyway...

3. Harry will crossover to the dark side for the final test. Come on, open your eyes. Notice his similarities with Voldemort. Both orphans, raised in Muggle homes... You say that they're totally different in personality but we don't really know the whole of Tom Riddle's personality, don't we? [What if Dumbledore had been guiding Tom as he is now guiding Harry?]... And, he could speak Parseltounge, the marks of Salazar Slytherin. And he was supposed to be in Slytherin, wasn't he? What if Voldemort meant to kill him because he was supposed to be as good as him, as powerful, in the future? The one true rival of the dark lord, the only one who could go head to head with him...

^_^;; Okay, that's it. I've blabbed too much. Those are just my views, no offense or intent to anyone else. Just written rants, that's all.

Take Which 'fallen one' are you? Quiz by Xera

You're undeniably smart and inteligent. You love intellectual pursuits and other complicated matters. People respect you and you tend to look down on them, since you are better.... Careful, you may fall because of your PRIDE, the first sin ever, and the same sin that cast down the used-to-be greatest angel, Lucifer.

Which Archangel are you? by Xera

Fun SenRu day it was... Some fics, art... *grin* Wish there had been more but it's okay...

Oh and /finally/, Lyv and I released our first-ever made fic, 'Secret Sorrow'. The fic was born from 'Autumn', one of the stories mentioned when Kaede was browsing for SenRu fics. ^o^ Which one was it? It was the Yakuza one. Funny how our fics are interconnected with each other...

As for the title of the fic, the basis of it is the ending song to X [anime]. While we were writing down the fic, I had been watching it in WOWOW [Japanese Channel] while it was first being broadcasted in Japan. I have that channel in cable. The song was sung by the high-pitched Koizumi Kouhei who has such an amazing voice and could be easily mistaken for a girl. ^o^ The lyrics are as follows:

--Secret Sorrow, as translated by Vspirit/Lyv--

The true reason for sorrow
Embraced me intensely without words
With the moonlight shining on you
My love for you only grows stronger
I’m unable to fall asleep
Because of this heartrending sorrow
From when did I notice
The teary sadness in your gaze
Are you just lonely?
With nothing left to say,
Is this just a despairing dream of mine?

The more I love, the more painful it gets
I feel like I’ve lost a place to go
Just passing by others
Who’ve been seeking for love
You’ve felt the same bitterness, haven’t you?

Nobody can stop this feeling of falling in love
So don’t cry, I don’t blame you
I have been unable to get away
From this misery as well

The more I love, the more painful it gets
What should we do from tomorrow onwards?
To do the same thing over again
Won’t completely change the everyday
But I can’t just walk away
I want you to know that I want to be with you

The more I love, the more it hurts
That’s probably why I am able
To become tender yet strong
Even though sadness can change memories
I want to believe that
I won’t be able to let go of this feeling
When I think of you

...end...

Such a sad song, isn't it? It reflects the fic - very angsty yet full of love and the struggle for it. ^_^ I love the fic myself even though I'm one of the people who wrote it. ^^;;; We're in the editing stage of the fic now - a very hard part as we easily get distracted and often get lazy... -_-; Sorry.

Oh and there'll be lots of interesting characters. ^_^ Very interesting indeed... ^____^

04:19 p.m.

About time I updated this blog. First off, Happy SenRu day! ^__^ I'm currently at school and can't do much of anything as of now. Hopefully, when I get home, there would be electricity in our area. I've got a few things to post in the AkiraKaede ML. ^_~

Heh, and finally, I've heard from Lyv! She's actually alive! Having some problems similar to mine with regards to mothers... *cough*

Anyway, why had I been absent lately? It was because, one, I was busy. And second, because three typhoons are ravaging our country, end to end. It had been giving us much trouble, from blackouts to leaks... -_- Gah, I hate the leaks. They suddenly appear out of nowhere, just when I thought that the suspended classes were going to give me a chance to do something productive in some way...

Anyway! I'll be posting 'Between Heaven and Hell' Chapter 5 later on, a sidestory to that fic, and perhaps a new fic that Lyv and I had slaved over for quite a while now... Oh, and some RPs perhaps. Hopefully, I could finish it later on. ^^

Well, hope you all are well. Hope no typhoons are bothering you... ^_^

Layout: SenRu Day [or SenRu Night]
Picture credited to Cellophane - Sendoh x Rukawa only. Great site that's full of SenRu fanarts. I just had to use it for a blog layout. Isn't it cute? All the feathers and the cozy position the two are in in their very own bed... Sendoh-seme and his Rukawa-uke. ^_^
