Full Lyrics to 道 ~ To You All (Road ~ To You All)

2007-07-08T21:12:00.000+08:00

I have just seen the new ending song for Shippuuden.
Episode 19's ending theme was entitled "道 ~ To You All"
or "Road To You All". :)

Ahh! SasuNaru in its highschool-yaoi GLORY! Ahahahahah.

So, I have been around for a few minutes online, hoping to get the full song and the lyrics... but again, I haven't found yet the full one. However, I saw one in nihongo, so for those who can't read japanese, I have tried writing it in romaji characters. ;)

Of course for everyone else to enjoy this, you can download the full song here.

Also, I am still writing Coming Back 7. :) In the meantime, check out my other fics. :D

What to do when you can't upload in fanfiction.net

2007-04-16T11:11:00.000+08:00

I can't upload in fanfiction.net! It has been this way for several days already.

Every time I try to upload a document, regardless of its format, it always encounters an error and fails to upload.

What makes it bad: Support.fanfiction.net is not working.

What makes it worse: Nobody is trying to inform the users that the site has encountered (insert problem here) and that users won't be able to upload until (insert time and date here) . >_<

SOLUTION
(BUT I WANT TO UPLOAD A STORY/CHAPTER NOW!)

Workaround: If the document uploader is not working:
1. Go to your list of stories.
2. Select one of your stories.
3. Go to Content/Chapters.
4. Export any of the chapters that you have posted.
5. That exported chapter shall be put back to the document manager.
6. Go back to your document manager.
7. Edit the file and save the changes.
8. Add it just like they way you typically add a new chapter.

>_<

Oh well, I hope this helps.

When I write Yaoi fanfiction in the office:

When I'm at work, I sometimes write during breaks. :) Hoho... can't let all the brain cells work on project plans all day, ne?

As you can see here in the picture, that is my workstation. It's got Gamakichi on the desk calendar, pictures of friends, a list of the local numbers in the office and some Naruto action figures (yeah, I still collect them... kid at heart really XD ). I have two office thinkpads (from the company) and a PC (also from the company - Japanese companies are really generous I tell you.).

I also have a starbucks cup here, desk calendar number 2, a small photoframe (which can hold several different pictures), a tissue box... and other items used for emergency purposes. :D

But I rarely get the time to write while at work, because of course, when I'm at work, I have to give the impression that I'm "working". XD Nah, seriously, I can't find time to write sometimes because 9 hours in the office is never enough for work alone. You might not believe this, but I sometimes go to work at 8:30 in the morning and go home at 9 PM. (and I'm one of those who go home early in our office) -_- ugh. But that's when we encounter issues and do cramming of work.

When I do my writing at home:

When I arrive home, my usual routine is to eat dinner, watch some TV, talk with my sister (yeah, she kinda lives with me), do a little laundry sometimes or sometimes clean my room, then sit down in the living room and WRITE! OH YEAH!

I write fics at home using my laptop (this one on the right) while hugging this cute stuffed dolphin. :D Hehhe.

When it's Friday, I'm most likely downloading the latest Naruto episodes or manga. Hehe. But most of the time, on Friday nights and the whole day of Saturday, I go out with my boyfriend (i miss him already) and some of my friends.

Hanging out with them gets me really exhausted, but I certainly enjoy it. :D The exhaustion is always worth it. :) At the end of Saturday, usually I would go home and won't be able to summon any energy to even change clothes. But the feeling you get the next day kinda sucks, so I try to change before going to bed ... I TRY. hehe.

When I'm not writing or working:

I SHOP!!! MWAHAHA! I practice my nihongo, hang out with my friends, watch CSI, anime or more Discovery Channel and NGC specials (hey! I love educational channels!) .

Sometimes, I head out to the bay (we live near it :) ) and take nice pictures of the sunset.

Like this picture here on the right. This was just taken this year. :) heheh. After taking pictures, I SHOP AGAIN! Mwahahha! There's a big mall near that bay (how convenient!) you see. :D

Where I am currently:

I am having my 3 weeks off (paid, of course) from work. My sister, mom and I have gone to NJ to see our dad. :D Yey! It has been quite a few years since I last saw him (we talk through chat though hehehe).

I shall be going back home on the 23rd of April and *sigh* back to work. :( At least I get to see my 彼 and some of my friends. :) heheh.

But while I'm here, I shall be enjoying it for the mean time. :) Wheee! and oh my god!! It's so cold! I easily get cold!! Waa! Wasn't used to cold weather, back home... the normal temperature there is 77degrees F +. O__O When I got here it was below 35F. (uwaa!)

Ne, omoshiroi ne? :D hehehe.

Yey! Full lyrics to Hero's Come Back - nobodyknows+

2007-04-14T13:02:00.000+08:00

I still wasn't able to find full lyrics of Hero's Come Back ... in Romaji.. so I made my own ... again. :D heehee！Yey yey!

Soubi and Ritsuka - the fighter and his master

2007-04-13T00:34:00.000+08:00

Just recently, I have been hooked up with this shounen-ai series: Loveless. (Picture on right: Soubi and Ritsuka from boysonboysonfilm.com)

Actually, I was just surfing through youtube on some yaoi anime and I saw an AMV on Loveless. At that time, I still don't know what Loveless was, but decided to watch the video anyway (having lots of good ratings and all)...

...and whoa! What is this anime?!

So I went back to my shounen-ai/yaoi guide on anime and manga and looked up Loveless... then went back to youtube to watch the 12 episodes. :)

See that kid right there? He's only twelve. The series itself has a few controversial issues but it's really fairly good in terms of plot. The story is really deep and there was a time I couldn't grasp what they were trying to say. (hehehe... gomen gomen XD ... my brain is functioning on low processors sometimes)

Ritsuka (the 12 year old) had a brother named Seimei who died two years ago. Seimei had a fighter unit (which was treated as a slave) back then whom he called Soubi (that drop-dead gorgeous blonde guy). Now in this universe, a fighter and its master must share a same name in order to be bonded and you know, be powerful and stuff.

Seimei was "Beloved" and so Soubi also was named Beloved. His name was etched on his skin on his neck. O_O

Now when Seimei died, he left in his will that his younger brother Ritsuka shall get his fighter unit Soubi.

The series starts with Soubi, meeting Ritsuka. But Ritsuka has a different name.

^_^ Whee!

I think the anime series that was made covered only the manga volumes 1 - 4... they have just released volume 7 recently. But it's not yet translated. Tokyopop has made volume 4 available last February. :)

Once you've seen the anime (or you've read the manga), I recommend reading this fic: How To Lose Your Ears In Ten Days from Yaoikitten. Because in the series, if a person still has their ears and tail, it sort of means that they're still a virgin. :D heheheh.

Ne, I highly recommend this series. :) The story is good, characters are wonderful and the art is lovely. :D

Hell Is the Other Chapter 4 - updated

2007-04-12T12:21:00.000+08:00

It's been more than a month ! O_O

Haloo everyone! :D I'm back and I have just updated Hell Is the Other. :)
Sasuke is getting more frustrated. Hehehe ...

2007-03-05T00:09:00.000+08:00

I'm currently trying to deal with a big disappointment. I didn't realize it takes a lot of effort. It constantly makes me feel that .. I failed in the only thing I believed I'm good at. I gave a lot of effort in it, but in the end, it just didn't turn out good. What makes it worse, a lot of people in my life expected it of me. It kind of feels a little awkward to face any of them now.

*cry cry cry*

Alright! Enough with this damned bitterness. It's a good thing there's anime, fanfiction and yaoi in this world. (There's also the Dairy Queen ice cream, not-so-far summer outings and whee... a summer vacation in New Jersey! --> Ureshiku naru yo!! ahahah! :D x 100)

(Warning: Yaoi ahead. If gay people offend you, get the hell outta my blog.)

As promised, here's an update on the chapter 4 of Hell is the other. This is just the first part of that chapter. :) Chapter 4 will be finished soon. Hopefully, before next week.

^_^
--------------------------
On Hell Is The Other:

Title: Hell Is the Other
Important: This is a SasuNaru.
Chapter 4: The Frustration
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Sasuke was in no mood the following morning.

After their little struggle last night with Naruto’s clothes, Sasuke was silently fuming at his reaction. He wasn’t surprised that Naruto had grown into a fine lad and every day he looked more and more gorgeous than the Yondaime himself. His blonde hair was a little longer and his blue eyes were more vivid than Sasuke had ever seen.

The scene kept playing over and over in Sasuke’s head. Naruto flushing and struggling underneath him was rendering him too ‘bothered’ to breathe. He had to stop for a moment to just stare at the person beneath him and admire at how heart-stopping the blonde really looked.

That was just so ... WRONG.

This aggravation was not helping his situation at all. He wanted to get away from this person who was making him feel this way. First, Sasuke thought of rolling to turn to his right side, because the string that was keeping them tied. But if Sasuke would turn to the right side, he would have to pull his left arm and wake the dobe up. Couldn’t Tsunade come up with a kinder form of punishment? Like maybe getting tied to a tree with big red ants instead?

Stupid dobe.

It’s all Naruto’s fault. Now the dobe was trying to be insufferable by being so...

All other form of respiration instantly shut down as a tan arm draped across Sasuke’s chest. Sasuke stared at the still, blissfully sleeping blonde, with his heart thudding. Naruto had rolled over to his right side, rested his head on Sasuke’s left shoulder and slept right through.

Sasuke had to think of something disgusting. He must think of something else! Think of something! ANYTHING!

Naruto had nice eyelashes.

The Hyuuga. That’s right. Sasuke hated the Hyuuga and his mountain-sized ego and his girly hair and his Eyebrow for a teammate.

…also, Naruto had nice hair.

Sasuke used to think that Naruto was way too catchy to be a ninja. The blonde was loud, hyper and he wore a lot of orange and he had blonde hair! He would surely stand out when they do reconnaissance missions. Sasuke wanted to reach out and just brush that mop of blonde hair with his right hand, but Sasuke could not move or even breathe at the moment. Even sane thought was positively gone from his list of abilities.

It would be truly embarrassing if Naruto woke up and found himself entangled up with Sasuke. There has to be some way where he could disentangle Naruto from his limbs without waking him up. Sasuke looked up and stared at his ceiling. He feared that he’s almost at the point of desperation that he wanted to cut off his arm.
…well no, not really. His left arm has his chidori, of course.

Ahh. Perhaps Sasuke could gently roll Naruto to his side of the bed… and then slowly go back on his own side. Since, the dobe was still sleeping, no strong intensity of any earthquake could wake him up. Therefore, Sasuke could put his plan into action.

Steeling himself, Sasuke lightly put his right arm around Naruto’s shoulders and prepared himself to roll to his left side to deposit Naruto on his side of the bed. In his head, Sasuke realized that this position, in which he and Naruto was in, was really intimate… if it was real.

Naruto’s body was a little smaller than his, his tan skin was a stark contrast to his paleness. At that moment too, Sasuke realized that it felt nice to hold Naruto like this. Perhaps Sasuke just wasn’t used to receiving intimate touches, especially not from Naruto. A new sensation always did feel good.

He slowly pushed himself to his left side while holding the blonde, careful not to wake him up. When Sasuke has laid Naruto on the other side and was about to let go, he felt Naruto stir a little and mumble something incoherent. He knew Naruto was about to wake any moment. He tried to retrieve his right arm from Naruto’s back, but it was stuck, unfortunately. If he moved too much, Naruto would surely wake up.

His eyes widened in fear that the dobe would see him, lying on top of him like this. What would Naruto think? The warning bells in Sasuke’s head were all ringing alarmingly.

No… no… don’t wake up. Sasuke desperately thought, while swearing that he would never do bad things any more as long as somebody would grant his plea. But probably some god out there, who had a wicked sense of humor, wanted to see Sasuke die in embarrassment.

Naruto’s eyelids fluttered open, and Sasuke found himself staring into Naruto’s captivating blue eyes.

lyrics to Nagareboshi - Shooting Star

2007-02-17T00:28:00.000+08:00

The Naruto Shippuden Ending theme was really nice. :)
I was looking around for lyrics of it, but I couldn't find any.

So I have just posted this. :D

Song: Nagareboshi ~Shooting Star
(Naruto Shippuden ending theme)
Artist: Home made 家族
(home made kazoku)

Lyrics:

空を見挙げれば
sora wo miagereba

星たちがほらまだ抱いてる
hoshitachi ga hora mada daiteru

この星の人立ち見たいに
kono hoshi no hitotachi mitai ni

さまざまな光を放って
samazama na hikari wo hanatte

そのだから僕も
sono dakara boku mo

一時も輝いてたいんだ
hitoki mo kagayaitetainda

目を閉じて心に誓う
me wo tojite kokoro ni chikau

流れ星に夢を託して
nagareboshi ni yume wo takushite

ここは何時もの公園
koko wa itsumo no kouen

焼けが見える
yake ga mieru

滑り台の上
suberidai no ue

昔から僕の特等席
mukashi kara boku no tokutou seki

悩みがあればここに来るんです
nayami ga areba kokoni kurundesu

あのころのまま夢の途中で
ano koro no mama yume no tochuu de

今で叶えられずにいるんです
ima de kanaerarezu ni irundesu

もしかしてここがも終点
moshikashite koko ga mo shuuten

何て弱音はいて
nante yowane haite

失敗そうの日もある
shippai sou no hi mo aru

でもそのたびに思い出す
demo sono tabini omoidasu

流れ星を探してあの星空
nagareboshi wo sagashite ano hoshizora

小さなころの願い事
chiisana koro no negaigoto

今昔も変わらないまま
ima mukashi mo kawaranai mama.

Shooting Star

2007-02-15T23:14:00.000+08:00

Ahah!

I have entitled it Shooting Star because it's the title of the Naruto Shippuden ending theme, 流れ星 "Nagareboshi". :)

I just downloaded the OP and ED of Naruto Shippuden. :) The Ending theme was great! :D although the OP was kind of disappointing, I mean, I have expected more from Shippuden's opening.

You could watch here Naruto Shippuden Ending.

(Right: A screen shot from the Naruto Shippuden ending. Naruto looking up at the stars. Awww....)

Anyway, Manga 342 RAW was out already (yey!). You'll be in for a surpise... hehehe.

--- :D

Manga and Sticky Things

2007-01-21T21:31:00.000+08:00

--------- On the latest Naruto Manga

Man, Naruto is really growing up fast.

...it seemed like just yesterday he was climbing trees and learning Chakra control with Sasuke.

FINALLY! Chapter 338 was out! I was ecstatic when I went to Narutomania and saw that the translated 338 was available. :D

...and oh my, Naruto is growing up so fast, he has changed so much (awww) but still so cocky as usual. :D Pretty soon he'll be facing Sasuke again and I bet that their fight (if they would get to fight each other) would be one of the longest fight scenes ever. Reminds me of Yusuke and Togoru, took more than one month or so. ( Ooh, yeah! I was a big fan of YYH. :) )

Also, Shikamaru here was really cool. As expected, ne? :D Won't spoil it, but you really have to read chapter 338! It's so amazing. I think 339 will mostly show Naruto's fight with Kazuku.

(Picture from chapter 338)

All right, so you guys know of the several "rumors" about Naruto spreading around? Such as, who the leaders of Akatsuki really are, etcetera. So anyway, just last week, Someone toldf me of the most feasible Naruto Rumor I've ever heard. Apparently, the brother of that person who told me that rumor works in Studio Pierro (I wonder if MK goes here....hmm.).

But somehow, I don't think Masashi Kishimoto has already decided on the ending of Naruto because I get the feeling that he would make Naruto a very long series.

Just like Dragon Ball, hehe. I mean, if I would show the entire series of DBz to my (future) child, he/she would be in High school and the series would still not be finished. =P

------- FICS

I have uploaded a new fic: When Things Go Sticky. Kindly see here. :) Also, when you guys would like to contact me for some suggestions or challenges for fics, maybe I could try. :D

YM: rain_liam

AOL: rainliam

to open up the new year

2007-01-10T22:37:00.000+08:00

OH. MY. GOD.

FIRST. --- SHIPPUDEN
Have you guys seen the Naruto Shippuden teaser trailers?

They're quite short, but they got me all stirred up and I could no longer wait for February!

I bet I won't be able to work on February 15. I will just sit and fidget and click the reload button in the Naruto sites every thirty-seconds (particularly in DB).

To those who haven't seen the trailer yet, you could watch them here in the following links.
Teaser Trailer 1: Naruto Shippuden Preview I
Extended Teaser Trailer: Naruto Shippuden Preview II (It's the one in the official Naruto site)

I have to say, older Naruto's seiyuu is doing a good job. Well, I don't know if it was just me, but the voice somehow changed. :D

Heehee... next month, is truly a month to celebrate.

...and just like what Naruto-kun said in the teaser trailer: The destiny of the shinobis is finally starting to come alive! ...遂に忍び達の宿命が動き出す!

Second. --- FICS

Hell Is the Other - Chapter 3
Have started on the outline and will be, most likely, uploaded around next week. :D
What to look forward to: Clothes, sleeping and first feelings. *___*;

Coming Back - Chapter 7
Awww... I was inspired to speed up on my next chapter for this story. It was because the other day, a fellow yaoi-enthusiast left me a personal message on my YM list, and encouraging me to continue Coming Back. I'm really happy I was able to meet a fellow yaoi-enthusiast online. I added her in my YM list. Whee! Feels really great!

Although , I was, most of the time, away from my desk ... (having meetings and all in the office) I really enjoyed chatting with her. :) Spread yaoi-love around world! Whee! hoohoohoo!

Third. --- plot bunnies
Is there something wrong with me? Because I have about 20+ plot bunnies stored away on my 'Yaoi fics' folder. Do any of you guys out there have lots and multitudes of ideas for fic plots but can't finish one? O__O

Sigh.

But I would get to write some of my 'in the making' fics that are still just basic plots. :) Maybe after we finish the presentation for the company's 2007 targets and strategies. :D heeehee.

------------------------------------------------------------

So, minnasan...
Hope you will all have a great new year (greeting's a little late, I know)! Also, you could add me up if you have AOL, YM or ICQ. Kindly see my ff.net profile. :) I have put there some chat contact information. :D

From the extended Shippuden trailer:
"かつての【少年】はーいま【風】となる"
The former boy, now becomes the wind.
=)

would you go back?

2006-12-14T22:24:00.000+08:00

When I wrote my first non-yaoi fic, Naruto, Would You Go Back, I received a review from one of the nicest people in FF.net, Endless Snow. :D I was re-reading some of my reviews a while ago (makes one feel so much better, I swear) and I suddenly wanted to answer this, hehehe:

Endless Snow said:
"..... and what happened at the end of the ghost story anyway? Anyway I think...that Yes. I think I might go back. Perhaps..."

What happened at the end of the orginal ghost story that was told to me?

Well, it ended at that question. Would you go back, after you have made that promise?

:D

-have a happy season everyone!

Coming Back has come back =P

2006-12-11T11:21:00.000+08:00

Can't resist the pun. Hehe.

YES.

Chapter 6 of Coming Back.

Still with a lot of errors... sorry. T__T Will edit it this afternoon or as soon as I get free from work. :D

Thank you all for being patient with me. :) Thank you so much.

finally! Full lyrics to Yura Yura

I was so happy when I saw the FULL video of Yura Yura. It was, wow! (Yura Yura Yey!)

Anyway, here's an attempt at the full lyrics. Hope they're mostly correct. KI have tried searching online for complete lyrics too, but some of them don't make sense. O___o. So, I have tried listening again and make my own and try to translate it. :D

Waaaaa!

*bows down deeply in apology*

Everyone... I'm really sorry.

I estimated incorrectly and now I am a week delayed with the chapter 6 of 'Coming Back'.

申し訳ありません!

I apologize... :(

But, rest assured, the chapter 6 is currently in progress.

---short excerpt from Chapter 6---

Kakashi had taken the two ninjas to Ichiraku’s. He mentally noted that Naruto should have perked up at the sound of “Ramen” or of the sight of Ichiraku’s. But Naruto just remained quiet and thoughtful. Definitely not the Naruto that Kakashi knew. Before they stepped inside the small Ramen house, Kakashi turned around to face the two young boys. “This may feel strange for a moment,” He said before putting his two fingers on either boy’s forehead.

He muttered a short jutsu then released a pulsating wave of chakra through his fingers. As soon as the he felt that the wave of energy left his fingertips, he was expecting for Naruto and Sasuke to jerk up a little as the jolt hit their foreheads. They hadn’t even reacted to it, as if they knew what Kakashi was doing.

That was the second strange thing that he was able to witness first-hand.

But Kakashi’s suspicion mitigated when he felt the familiar, answering chakras of the two boys. It confirmed for Kakashi their true identities as Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. No doubt. Kakashi now had been left with a few theories for their strange behavior. One, it could be that ‘time’ already, teen boys and their hormones. Two, or if not that, well Kakashi couldn’t explain it yet. He would soon find out. “I’m sure you both know that each person’s chakra has a unique signature.” Kakashi said. “I did that to confirm if the both of you are yourselves.”

“And you got your proof, that we really are who we are.” Naruto said plainly, but the blonde boy looked at him suspiciously. Kakashi has never seen Naruto acquire that look. The twelve year old Naruto always seemed dumb.

Kakashi looked back at Naruto, surprised yet impressed. “That’s right, Naruto.” The jounin turned around to enter the ramen house.

If it was about their being teenagers as an explanation, Kakashi did not understand why he felt so fatherly over this. Ever since the two had been acting strange, he suddenly felt as though something was going to give him the shock of his life. There was something definitely strange between his two students. “Mind if you tell me when did this start? You’re not possessed, are you?” Hell, they should be fighting by now.

Sasuke grumpily took the seat on the other side of Naruto. “Yes, I’d mind. No, I’m not.”

“Ahh, touchy. Yes, it is you Sasuke.” Kakashi sat on Naruto’s other side. “Oh…what about you, Naruto?”

Naruto didn’t answer. He was just staring at his hands.

“Naruto?” Kakashi tapped his student’s shoulder. Perfect time to blush, Naruto.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Will now continue finishing it! Hai...

"Resurrection!"

2006-11-21T23:14:00.000+08:00

Man! I live! :D

Hello everyone! I have started writing again! Yey! After more than a month of staying dormant, well not really so dormant... plot-bunnies started popping up again! Spring came early in my brain! Yey!

Hora! just a few updates again on the following:

------- On fanfics:

I have started writing a multi-chaptered short story... again. Hell Is the Other. Got the idea from those many fics about Naruto and Sasuke having this bond between them. Well, I have thought of having the both of them physically bound to each other for quite some time. This story would be humor/romance and since the plot is like so, I would expect some more 'action' (if you catch my drift *cough cough*) here compared to my other fics.

In this story, I have also been began to wonder on how Naruto's and Sasuke's other skills would work if they were bound. Their wrists were tied together by a seemingly unbreakable thread (courtesy of the Godaime). They had to stay like that, until they could eventually get along together with each other well. 'kukukuku'

While having some time off writing, a good friend of mine sent me a text message about fathers talking about how successful their sons have become. From there spawned the fic Four Fathers Talk. It's a short humor fic, about 500 words long. I actually enjoy rereading it again. Heehee! The story starts with the fathers of Gaara, Neji and Sasuke boasting about their sons' success. Then comes Naruto's pretty blonde dad. :D And he tells about his son too.

I have posted a new story a while ago. My first NaruSasu! Entitled it Red Herbs. It's mostly about controlling desire. and actually giving in to somebody's desire. I have written the first chapter today. Its setting took place in a forest where Naruto and Sasuke spends the night after a mission. They were on their way back to Konoha and they have decided to spend the night on the forest.

Sasuke then came across a familiar looking red herb. He thought it was safe. Well, yeah he thought. Naruto warned him that it might be dangerous but Sasuke ignored his warning.

So, the next day, Naruto woke up with a very 'hot and bothered' Sasuke.

The story so far is not getting any reviews... -__- how sad. But if I don't get any reviews, I just might continue it anyway. I kind of like where that story would go and how I could try to develop a different kind of relationship between the blonde and his Uchiha.

Remember the old story that I have started Coming Back (July 2006). *bows down in apology to everyone who waited for so long*. Good news! I have started finishing the chapter 6 which I couldn't finish for the past few months. Deepest apologies to everyone. みんなさま! 申し訳ご座居ません。But now I am back, and I swear, I am here to finish it!

I will have to continue writing, gradually, my other stories that are in progress. Such as the Superhero. But none of my stories will be left hanging. I promise to finish them all. :)

You see, I know the tragic feeling of seeing a good fic left unfinished.

------- On Naruto:

The anime that has captured my attention for the longest time ever.... is still in its filler arc. Big whee. I feel like I'm wasting the bandwith when I download fillers, so I just watch it sometimes in youtube instead.

On Friday mornings, I just wait patiently, (like a good Naruto-obsessed fangirl) for the manga. God! Naruto is getting stronger exponentially. Reminds me so much of San Goku. :D (Hey, I was born in mid-80's so this was the type of anime that was available in my teenage years. Heehee!)

Yes, yes. For impatient people like myself, let's all just read the manga. I still do not have any idea when they will stop with the fillers.

Sigh.

------- On others:

I just remembered this homosexual love-themed, Taiwanese movie that was introduced to me about more than a year ago, called Formula 17. It's a low-budget film produced by two women in their late 20's and surprisingly, the film is quite good. To those who are yaoi-enthusiasts like myself, you should all see this film. (a lot of good quality movie files of it can be DLed online).

The film was in Cantonese and the actors in it were all men. Hehe. Anyway, the film is really good. I highly recommend watching it for those of you have some free time and who love yaoi in whichever nationality it may take form.

:D

That's all for now. :)

*goes back writing Coming Back* -- please watch out for updates of this story! I have made a resolution to update it before next week. :D Thanks everyone!

*sniff*

On Me and the Fics. -------
I don't know if this is a good thing, but I took the day off from work today because of a severe migraine that I had yesterday. (It runs in the family....sigh.) I was itching to write the continuation of The Superhero and Coming Back yesterday, I was trying to type some paragraphs during breaks. Then the migraine struck and everything else stopped. It hurt to open my eyes and the slightest sound would ring in my ear. O__o it was so painful. >_<

On Yaoi. -------------------
While in Youtube, I stumbled upon this light shounen-ai series called "Sukisho" (where was I in the last few years?) I couldn't believe that I haven't heard about this! And so... I was so ecstatic to find out that the 12 episodes of the series were in youtube. :D I'm so thankful for all those wonderful yaoi fans out there.

The picture on the right shows Sora and Sunao of Sukisho. Let's just say they're boys with alter egos who are insanely in love with each other. So, when the alter ego takes over, more yaoi happens. Afterwards, they will leave the two innocent boys in a very embarassing situation. :D

Oh and 'kukukukukuku', while surfing around about it, I came across * this * (don't go here if you are allergic to yaoi or shounen-ai, onegaishimasu!) Just a little caution, reading some synopsis on the yaoi animes in here will make your nose bleed. Thanks to this site, I was able to find out more about the yaoi fandom of other animes. Some may be *hard core* and I mean hard core. Like Wow! *drool* O.o;

On Naruto ----------------
WTF? I thought the fillers were going to end?! *yanks hair out in frustration* It's so disappointing already. :( Anyway, the new Naruto opening was the best, yet. Actually, I really liked "Yura Yura". It's just too bad there's no single of the song that's out yet.

So, I guess we wait again. At least we could watch Naruto do taijutsu shirtless. Hohohohoh! Oh yes, those were Lee and Neji that he was sparring with, ne? ne? :D

Isn't this little Naruto so cute? This was when he was still in the Ninja Academy, ne? I see no hitae-ate. :) Sigh. Does anyone out there know when the fillers would REALLY, TRULY end? =(

On New Anime ------------
My beloved has introduced me to a new anime! Yey! It's fantastic! I was told that it was based on a manga that sold over 15 million copies around the world and it has been adapted into film by Warner Bros. The new anime series I'm talking about is Death Note.

See this guy here? His name's Yagami Light (やがみライト) and he's the main character. On watching the first episode of the anime, you will know instantly what the whole series is about.

I really recommend watching this, it's so worth it. Episode 2 has just been released.

「このノートに名前を書かれた人間は死ぬ.」 "The human whose name is written in this notebook shall die."

This is really serious anime. It has a good and very creative concept. It also made me think about how we think of right and wrong and our definition of proper judgement.

I'm really expecting more to come from this anime. It has such a promising concept and the animation is amazing! Really, really worth it. I am actually thinking of writing a few fics in this fandom. :)

Others ---------------------
While wondering on what to write next, I was able to write a short PWP. I would be including this in my new fic "Hell Is The Other". :)

Hope you'll like that new fic. :)

---oOo---

He just realized that he couldn’t do anything stupid, because a dumb move would cause major damage to the both of them. If Sasuke decided to let his hormones take over at this moment, he would grab Naruto forcefully, shove him up against the nearest wall and screw him till kingdom come. Sasuke could not blame him, even if he still strongly thought that it was Naruto’s fault that’s why Sasuke was having these disturbing dreams and uncomfortable feelings.

And Naruto was not helping things. The blonde would stare with those big, blue eyes and would pout those pink … Sasuke blinked. He was clenching his fist so tightly. To hell with Tsunade! It was her damn fault! She could have given them more decent shinobi punishments, such as banishment or execution. But nooo. She had to be so damned creative and tie them together with this evil thread.

Sasuke felt a cool hand press against his neck. “Hey Sasuke, are you okay?”

He could have sworn that if it weren’t for his fine Uchiha bloodline, he would be twitching uncontrollably now. “I’m okay, dobe.”

“Are you sure? You look a little …red.” Naruto withdrew his hand.

Sasuke felt a little relieved at the loss of contact. The spot that Naruto has touched left him a burning sensation. But out of all things that Naruto could have possibly done, this was the least one that Sasuke was expecting. Holding Sasuke’s hand that was tied with the blonde’s, Naruto pressed Sasuke’s hand on his own neck.

“Look Sasuke,” Naruto said, he was still pressing Sasuke’s hand against his neck, “this is a normal temperature,” Naruto was obviously, thankfully and regrettably, unaware of Sasuke’s apparent discomfort.

Sasuke felt his common sense escape him. The feel of Naruto’s touch on his neck and Naruto’s breath that was so close from his face took control of Sasuke’s already mad mind. This was it. The Sasuke who was full of self-control disintegrated. Using his other hand, he grabbed Naruto and it earned him a surprised gasp from the blonde. He pushed him against the nearest wall and used his body to pin the blonde against it. “Naruto…”

Naruto was too shocked to react. His eyes flew wide as Sasuke.

Sasuke stopped. He was aware of this burning need. But wouldn’t he enjoy it more if Naruto had wanted him to do this?

---oOo---

:D I will update my stories soon! :)

Have a good day!

... continuations

In all honesty, I didn't like the Naruto filler episode 201. -__- (and I was so happy because I just added a new folder in my archive of Naruto Episodes). *Sigh* But the next episode seemed to be more promising. Although it's no longer part of the story line and all... I mean, who else would be that 'Special Guest'?!

Anyway, felt good adding a new folder in my Naruto episodes archive. :D Whee! Just made the 201 - 250 folder. (so geeky) hahha!

Just last week, I finished Love Is More Than You Can Imagine. :D Yeah, I had fun writing it. I would have loved to write another version of it,but I'd rather focus on The Superhero and Coming Back.

(Left: Just added a new folder to the collection, see?!)

This weekend, I have started with the 3rd chapter of The Superhero. It'll be updated soon. :) Sorry it's taking a lot of time updating... other concerns need to be attended to. I try to write when I can, even during lunch breaks (when I'm not doing extra work) -__-.

(Above: Writing the The Superhero 3rd chapter while watching anime. There's a typographical error in there somewhere)

Usually, when I write, I keep this folder handy for instant plot bunnies that just pop out of nowhere. Have 5 ideas for plots of SasuNaru, but I don't have enough time to write them down while still focusing on the existing ones.

Naruto mania is quite dying down here for a while, some friends and I are just waiting for the Naruto 2nd series. When that one starts, I swear, there's going to be another wave of Narutoness all around.

^__^

what's on...

2006-08-21T21:39:00.000+08:00

Since I have made this blog because of my stories in www.fanfiction.net ... I have decided to give a short background on the things that I have written so far.

Warning: I write YAOI. As defined by Wakan, yaoi a theme of male homosexual love. So, if you are against this, please don't bother to read my stories.

The stories I write about recently are only about Naruto. I have been a member of ff.net since early 2005, and I have been reading a lot of Harry Potter stories. Then one day, in May 2006, my friend was watching the famous fight scene between Naruto and Sasuke in the Valley of End. He told me that I could stay and watch because this certain anime was really good. Back then, I totally have no idea what the anime Naruto was... and thanks to my friend, it was finally introduced to me. When the episode 135 finished, I told myself that I really had to see more of this Naruto. Fortunately, almost everyone in our office were young people who were BIG Naruto fans, that's why I was able to secure a copy of Naruto episodes 1 - 185, the movies and the OVA's. Since then, every time a new episode would come out (even if it's a filler), I would download it on my own and watch it with my friends at lunch break.

That was the start of my Naruto obsession. Now, I keep an eye on the Manga and the latest episodes (can't wait for the fillers to end, damn it).

So, back to what I was talking about. The fanfics:

First one I ever wrote about Naruto in FF.net was Coming Back. Wrote it early July 2006. I never thought that anybody would like something like that. I wrote it because when I was in college, I used to think that wouldn't it be cool to go back in time, in your younger body with all of the cool stuff that you know now. Anyway, in Coming Back, it is set in the future. I really believe that Naruto will become Hokage and so, here, he is finally one. Along come four mysterious ninja who manage to send him and Sasuke back in the time when they were still genins. It's currently still in the fifth chapter and I haven't updated it since July. I feel really guilty for all of those who have 'alerts' for my story, it's still not updated and it'll be almost a month now. I'm sorry everyone! But I really do have a plan to update it.

The second story I have written is a one-shot. I called it I Will Make the Sky Shine For You. Since my favorite episodes of the Naruto series is the arc wherein they were trying to retrieve Sasuke, I have noticed this incredible closeness of Naruto and Sasuke (especially in episode 134). Although, I still don't get it. Why the hell do you have to kill your best friend so you could have the Mangekyou Sharingan? Anyway, sorry Kishimoto-sama. This one-shot is about why Sasuke was afraid of stepping out in the rain. You see, I was really touched when Sasuke was just leaning over Naruto's unconscious body after their fight. What were you thinking back then, Sasuke?

There came a time when I challenged myself to write a story about Naruto and Sasuke, alone in Naruto's apartment and try not to make it Yaoi. (O_O) That was when Naruto, Would You Go Back? was written. The story began one stormy night and Sasuke took refuge in Naruto's apartment. Then, the lights went out. (I swear, this story is not Yaoi!) The story is a little scary. When I was writing it, I remembered some old, creepy stories from high school. Well, they were sort of incorporated here too. Hehe. I was pleased when I finished this, even if it's just a one-shot. This story was finished Yaoi-free.

Not a few days after posting that story, I was surfing around google. Then I found out that Bandai was selling Naruto's nightcap. The black bear-looking cap. (*cough* wanted to buy one for myself actually) So, during writing the third chapter of Coming Back, I have come up with a plot for a new one-shot. I called the story Wearing of Cap Won't Make You Able To Use Rasengan. This was set in the past, when Sasuke and Naruto were still little kids studying in the Shinobi Academy. One day, Sasuke was so sick with fever and Naruto was the only one who found out. Later, Sasuke woke up to find himself in a hospital with a funny looking cap on his head.

A little later, a light story plot of SasuNaru was clawing its way out of my brain. So, I was able to write one of my personal favorites Love Is More Than You Can Imagine. I really enjoyed writing this story. It's about waking up Sasuke. You see, after their mission, the Kakashi team returned with an unconscios Sasuke and in order to wake him up, somebody has to kiss him. But that somebody has to have honest feelings for Sasuke. It didn't look too hard for Naruto, because he thought that Sakura could wake Sasuke up. Until they have tried it and nothing happened. Tsunade then explained that the only person who could wake Sasuke was somebody who Sasuke also loved. So, anyway... since it's a SasuNaru, I guess you know who it was. But it didn't end there. Sasuke still has yet to know who kissed him. :D

While keeping that story updated, I was watching some old, non-filler episodes of Naruto and I realized a few things. Naruto was really strong. But unfortunately, he still couldn't realize how strong he could be. I was really inspired and impressed at Naruto's rapid growth and he still remained that humility and naiveté. And so, I have written the first chapter of The Superhero, inspired by Naruto's strength and determination. This story is AU (Alternate universe, different from the usual Naruto universe that we know. Please see the The Fanfiction Glossary for more definitions.). This superhero story is about Naruto and Naruto as a superhero. :D 'nuff said.

There we are. All stories defined and summarized. You are all welcome to read them. You see, reading and writing fanfics could help keep our creative side of the brain healthy. Hehehe... drawing could help, but I'm still against showing my drawings to people because frankly, I can swim better than I could draw. (and I'm hydrophobic)

please be informed...

Good day!

I have tried writing just recently and I realized that sitting all day writing is more exciting than coding. :D Oh, hehe (of course it is.)

"Coming Back" is still somewhere in the middle of its Chapter 6 and the other baby "Love Is More Than You Can Imagine" is in its Chapter 3.

I wanted to update it really soon, but I don't want the chapter to look like it was rushed. I don't just write for fun, I write because I also want to make others appreciate the wonderful world offered by stories. Writing has done changes in me and I wanted to share it to you guys. :D

So, anyway... let us get on with.
