- いま、会いにゆきます, Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu


After soo long putting it on my list and wanting to read the novel badly...I finally forked out cash to get the book...and I am so happy I did...
What am I talking about?!
I'm talking about the hit Japanese Novel called Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu...translated it is called Be With You...
Since it's publish there have been a drama series and also a movie both great success...
and also have a manga...

and after I started reading it I dun see why not...
really it's lovely...
here is an image of the cover...
I just stole from Amazon cause lazy to upload...>.<

but really for those who are into those heart warming stories of life and love...though seriously I won't really clasify it as those passionate, hot, romantic kind of stuff...
It's just a sweet novel about the importance of our most important and dearest person/love one...
I've only gone through about 120 pages of the book since I got it on Tuesday...and college doesn't help me finish this lovely book any faster...
it's about 270 pages...
and the language is simple yet so lovely...
the way the characters are expressed really make you love them...
Yuji especially being only 6 I sometimes feel he's way beyond his years, they way he speaks...but when he finally got reunited with his mum you really see the kid he really is...
and not to mention there are certain times where I did giggle a little while reading...the father and son can be really cute and funny at times...for example the sloppy way they eat...their long time overdue clothing which needs to go to the wash...
the organised mess...
even the little doodles...
So far from reading it, I've really felt a number of emotions...
there were times when I felt the pain in Takumi, the sweet loving relationship within the family, joy, sadness, pitty, laughter, pain, but most of all when reading this book I just don't know how to describe it...it's just soo sweet(yup I've said this word soo many times already)
It may be a novel everything seemed so real...like this is life...
the roller coaster ride and reality of it...
A story about true love and not the hollywood over dramatic ones...
I'm not the kind to really express my emotions alot but i have a feeling that in the end when Mio returns to the Archive I might shed a tear or two...
even if I don't I'm pretty sure it will move me...just reading the synopsis of this has touched me enough to make me wanna get this novel...
Mio's words...
"Soon I won't be with you any longer,"
"but when the rainy season returns, I will come back to see how the two of you are getting along."
this is what touches me dearly...
maybe due to the fact that there are memories of a dear friend who has done the same...watching over like an eagle in the sky~

here is the an Amazon link if you are thinking about getting it too
http://www.amazon.com/Be-You-Novel-Paperback-Takuji-Ichikawa/dp/1421513935


I'm really glad I decided to get the book afterall in the end though I'm kinda pissed off as the quality is not too good...there is a page with a little tear and also the afterword page has got a stain...?!
yes it's a new book...got it from borders...but was desperate enough and they didn't have a nother copy so...what to do...
I thought the little tear was ok because I could already see it, but didn't expect the stain...next time I'm unwrappign a book before I get so-called "NEW"...
But it kinda made me think that it was a little cute considering Takumi and Yuji wear stained clothes after Mio died...
so it kinda helped me cool down but...fact is I got ripped off for a dirty book...
I paid RM30 for that book...




on Tuesday itself I used up RM50, lunch, bus ticket, anime(bought Dragonaut), magazine and the novel...
luckyly my EVA tix were free though they are shit ugly...
just a normal card with movie title on it...
I was hoping for a nicely made coupon like the Death Note movies...
but well...
and worst part is the movie is for next week onwards only...
really bummer...
Want to watch it soo badly might just go for it this saturday...
though it opens today...TwT
all is my class fault...
if I finish in the afternoon today how nice is that~
then can go for the movie...
Some friends have said how weird I am go for movie and pay even when I have free tix just need to wait a week~
but this is the Otaku spirit I guess...



So I guess that is all...
Now I'm trying to save up for the other books on my list...

Densha Otoko (Train Man) - also another famous novel turned movie, drama and manga(infact there are a few different manga versions)...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_man
http://www.amazon.com/Train-Man-Novel-Del-Books/dp/0345498690/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215092032&sr=1-1

and also wanna get First End the OMG(Oh! My Goddess) novel...that looks like something interesting and nice to read considering I'm a fan...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ah_My_Goddess#Ah.21_My_Goddess:_First_End
http://www.amazon.com/Oh-My-Goddess-First-End/dp/1595821376/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215092374&sr=1-1

and I'm hoping to get my hand on a copy of Aya Kito's diary too...

yes...1 litre of tears, ichi rittoru no namida~
wish there was an english translation published though...
would love to add to my collection~
the translation can be found here...

okies I guess that is all...

5th-Jul-2008 10:16 am
- No movie today~


Right now I'm pretty pissed off...
Pretty meanign quite really pissed off la...
I was planning to watch the Evangelion 0.1 movie today but somehow I couldn't manage to get anyone to come with me and thus I was planning to watch it alone anything was fine with me because technically when watching a movie it's only between me and the screen, I dun like people interupting...
And this is what makes me pissed...my dad tells me I can't go if I'm gonna watch the movie alone...TwT
I feel somehow this things are super sooo unreasonable...

Like really WTF kinda thing he is like it is dangerous...
Am I'm like thinking well everything in this world is dangerous...
truth is I face more danger taking public transport and walking to the bus stop compare to that~
Like is there something wrong with watching a movie alone?!
you technically aren't alone in the cinema...and there is no way for you to be not surrounded by people compared to walking to the bus stop behind a building that is about to be demolished...
But noo he just has to be this kind of people...
and to think I was doing a good thing by tellign him the truth instead of lying like usual and go watch it alone without his knowledge...
truth to be told if I chose to watch the 1 o'clock movie I wouldn't be alone as Nigel(A friend I meet from the L movie) can come watch with me...
however, recallign what happened the last time during ACF meeting up with a forum friend...
I figured the possibility of him saying no will be much higher compared to telling him I'm watching it alone...
and worst off I would get another BIG BIG scolding...


So I decided to just be content with my situation...
somehow I kinda hate the fact that I hide my emotions alot...
cause after the whole disappointment and unreasonable reason...
My dad is like are you angry...and my mum is like "no lah she's fine..."
Well it could be due to the fact that I'm already use to this kind of treatment...
inside me I really feel like throwing things and putting up a big fuss but really what use would that be...I'll just get more pissed off when they start scolding me...
We are supposed to have a good heart I guess...
so to release the frus I come to LJ...XD
I don't have a person I can bash messages to and my dear L!DA-san isn't online
Krion is not here too...TwT
Krion-san u promised to take away my sadness na~



Owh well...I'll leave the bragging for when he's around...
needs his huggles...their getting addictive...



Anyways it's about time I finished the novel I bought and yup I finished it this morning...
big question did I cry?!
Well I didn't...but I felt like it though...
the ending especially is too touching...
Yuji asking for his mom...looking for her...
he sure is a strong believer...
Yuji-kun!!!
I wish I was like you~
Overall no regrets getting it...
No matter what I will love this story...no matter how many times I read it or how old it gets~
Japanese love stories are always very sweet and nice...
Those are perhaps the only love stories I will read...
It's not about the passion and hot, sweaty, overly romantic, you do me i do you kind of stories....
Their stories I find are more bout the concept of love and the meaning of true love...
sweet little things that may seem unromantic or unexciting but yet touches the heart...a gentle love story with a special warmth to it...
nothign is overly passionate which makes the story seem fictional when that is done....
a lightly toned, simple love story...
although Mio's life is kinda bizzare the future jumpin thing...but somehow the story is still simple enough to make you understand the message of true love that was being portrayed...
So next love story I will read will be Train Man...now where to get the cash~
this time the book is more expensive...RM40+ if I recalled correctly...



I'll be submitting my contest entry on monday hopefully God will work miracles again and I can get cash from there...
I also figured it's a good way for exposure...
Somehow I really like this time rounds entry~
Not like the previous one where I felt it was a little too rushed and not at all a reflection of my skill or talent...
This time round the colouring is much much better...
and the concept is cuter lol...
which actually kind make me regret because I didn't/forgotten to get another copy print for myself...going to the printer is nicer quality...
also printed out Veron-san fanart already...
so I'm ready when u are ne Veron-san...

Though, now I'm afraid is that I might get the competition wrong(as in something like answering out of topic) since too little info was given...XD
But well they say have faith and leave it up to God...
he will reward me if he wants to...if I have pleased him...
ahh....can sort of feel the inside of myself cool down now...

also there is this worry about my description as it's more of an explanation of the concept then her character data...
but if I don't put the concept behind then it to me stands out less...
and I'm only given about 100words...
aiks...



Well Bon Odori is coming up soon...next saturday to be precise...
Ahh...can't wait na...
But so far only not many have confirmed...
and a few have dropped out....
>_<
Hopefully will still have a pretty big group though...
better they come for this than an anime convention na~
Have to ask youth class also na~
But now most important is that those that say can go can go hopefully Veron-san's daddy doesn't come up with something and Nat is not restricted to go...
Somehow...Kuro-nin has this feelings that me friend parents dun like me...XD
well as in indirectly la...
especially Veron-san's daddy...everytime got something we plan plan...then her daddy will come up wif somethin and she kena FFK me...
I know they dun hate me la but just coincidence everytime also like this...
and also sometimes wif Nat parents like this week...tuesday she cannot and also today...haih...
I'm not that much of a bad influence am I?!
Most probably it's just a very high coincidence that keeps happening...
and there is nothing more to it but....
one can't help but feel it and notice it...
that makes me worry about bon odori...
I have a tendacy of having people bail on me last minute...
REJECTION!!!
nyuu~


Oh well...shall pray for best
and hopefully can see my dear Nat this coming monday...XD



matta~
