“The Filipino is worth dying for.” – Benigno Servillano “Ninoy” Aquino Jr.

This line was actually world famous. Well, who wouldn’t know him? But do you think what he said is still true at this point of time?

The first automated election was just held this May 10, 2010. Well, people expected some technical difficulties or some sort but thank God nothing happened. Well, something happened to tell the truth. It’s the first automated election in which people didn’t use their right to vote “wisely.”

Currently, Mr. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino is on top. There is already an 87% chance he would win if I may say. But let’s not talk about that. Let’s analyze a very small thing a bit deeper: why the heck is Ex-President Joseph Ejercito “Erap” Estrada on the second place?

Last January 17, 2001, the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue road was again filled with millions of people, better known as the EDSA II Revolution and lasted for 4 days. The reason for this revolution is to throw away the current president at that time, Erap, from his seat. Erap, seeing this united but peaceful resolution of the people, decided to step down from the seat on January 20, 2001, making Gloria Macapagal Arroyo the President of the Philippines.

Millions of people joined this revolution. Millions of Filipinos wanted to throw him away from his seat. But then, why the heck did he also get millions of votes from Filipinos now?!

Don’t get me wrong, I have NOTHING against Ex-President Joseph Estrada but can’t those people who voted for him see that those millions of votes that they gave him were actually just put into waste? Come on, the PEOPLE threw him away from his seat and now, those same PEOPLE are actually wanting to re-appoint him?! What the heck is wrong with you people? Are you trying to say to everyone else that, “Hey, we made a mistake on making him leave his post, let’s re-appoint him!” Are you trying to say that you actually wasted 4 days of your damn precious life making him leave his post?

I’m disappointed, really. Those millions of votes that he got would have been better off given to any of those other candidates. Did you dislike Noynoy? Then you should have given it to Gibo instead. Dislike them both? Hey, Gordon, Villar and the other candidates still exist you know. It’s actually better, rather than giving it to someone you threw away from the post.

Seeing these results, I wonder if Ninoy would have still said that world-famous phrase if he is still living now.

“Where am I? What’s this place? It’s the same place but why is this like this? I recognize it but it feels like it’s not the same…”

It’s been a month and I hardly recognize what this place is. At first, I believed that it will be the same as always like when I was still in the Far East, that the only difference is the geographical location and its climate.

But I was gravely mistaken.

“We’ve changed,” an old man about 60 years old said. When he said these very words, I felt like what is left in this very soul of mine has been torn apart again. He was explaining something to someone but I didn’t care. I was trying to close my ears from every sound that is surrounding me. I just don’t want to feel my soul be torn apart more than it is now. It hurts.

In the Far East, in these kind of situations, I would have sent group messages to people, pestering them with my whines about how life is f*cking and messing me. Though some or should I say most of them wouldn’t care, having someone read it means a lot to me and makes me feel better even for just a day, an hour, a minute, or even a second. It feels like someone, at the very least, listened to my cries of pain and tried to understand me even though in reality, they really don’t. But as you can see, things are just not the same. No matter how f*cked up I become, there will be no one.

To tell the truth, I’m sick and tired of whining about everything. But most of the times, it’s the only thing that I can actually do. I’m always in situations where one wants to just die to stop the bleeding that one feels inside but oh well, the One above us all seems to not want to let me rest yet. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had enough suffering yet?

“I’m sorry,” said the old man after the long discussion. I’m wondering whether what the sorry is for and if he really meant it. Somehow it doesn’t feel he does. Well, who am I to judge him? I’m not God.

I wonder. When I said sorry to a certain girl, did she not believe me like the way I do not believe that old man? Had she had enough of me saying a bit too many sorry to a bit too many mistakes of mine?

I don’t really know.

I wish she was here. I miss the way how everything still feels it will be alright no matter how much it really isn’t.

I guess the “home” where I once felt is now burned to the ground and will forever be out of my sight.

I’ve been dying to post this one but I became too lazy to write it so this took some time. Good thing I finally got the mood to make this (wait, is it just me, or am I getting more talkative than usual?)

So last Saturday (if I’m not mistaken, don’t have a good memory you know), we watched the crappy Pacquiao vs. Clottey bout. Come on, the pay per view was about $50 and all you get to watch was a 12 round “Pacman-making-Clottey-a-live-dummy” fight. Ugh, I so hate that fight. Well, let’s skip the boring fight.

Before the fight, there was this girl that was talking way too much. I mean, TOO much. Want a hint why? She was literally talking bout topics that shouldn’t really be opened in public (oh, but wait, I forgot, I’m not in the Philippines now. Maybe such things are normal here. I wonder.) I won’t mention in public what she was talking about. After all, she was just asking someone how to please HERSELF more. Get it? If you don’t, well, it’s better. If you do, well, that’s that. To make things weirder, the people she was asking didn’t even seem to be surprised. Oh well, people really are more liberated (if not totally) in other countries I guess. By the way, I didn’t intentionally listen to her stories. Want a proof? The left earphone was in my left ear (she was on my right side. *wink*)

Earlier that day, we had our first Holy Supper here. It’s same as always except that it was in the English Language. Well, not literally the same. I saw that cute/beautiful girl again.

We were both at the exit (I was with my mother. And I think she was waiting for her family.) She’s not that tall (about 5’5 or 5’4, I think.) Her hair’s about shoulder length. She have cute eyes, is a bit skinny, and has a white skin complexion (haha, I really do like the skinny and white complexioned girls, don’t you think so?) At that time, I was thinking, “Miss, aren’t you feeling cold?” You guess why.

She was wearing a formal jacket, yes, but come on. Her dress was just up to her knees and not wearing any thermal leggings or stockings. (Don’t blame me for looking at her legs, it really is noticeable. XD) I always see her every Sunday and I think I already have a crush on this girl. The problem is, in this area, unlike in the Philippines, I don’t have any connections to be able to know her name. Haha! But I do want (if not “badly want”) to know her name. Oh, and before I forget, she looks like she’s just on high school (those who knows me well would know why she captured my eyes in the first place. The only difference is that she wasn’t wearing any glasses. *winks*)

Well, that concludes my crappy report. I wonder why I was dying to post this one.

P.S. I miss Darah, Arianne and ***** right now. *sighs*

“Kung hindi siya, huwag na lang.” – Sen. Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro Jr.

Hm, I heard that phrase from a certain T.V. show and it caught my attention. Can you guess why? Well, basically, it’s what runs in my head every time they say I should just find other “fishes” in this vast ocean.

It’s been exactly 8 months and 9 days since that happened (if I’m not quite mistaken). Many things already happened. Many things have changed. I myself know that she doesn’t feel a thing for me now. However, no matter how stupid you call me, how fool you think of me and how much you pity me, something really haven’t changed a bit: I still do love her.

This has been my problem since she broke up with me. I can’t stop thinking about her, if not all day, it’s a nightlong suffering. I miss her and at the same time I’m hurt by the truth that no matter what I do, it’s hard (if not impossible) to bring her back. My mind always wanders aimlessly into a time and space that would never exist. A vacuum where she and I are still together, living in a fairytale-like story that would end in a “happily ever after.”

Even though I’m now in the far west (based on man’s own sense of direction), nothing much really changed except the climate here. It’s VERY VERY COLD here. It’s a place that is exactly the opposite of the place where I came from. When you go outside during the day, you’d feel the warmth of the sun’s rays, yes, but it’s still dead COLD. It even worsens during the night (oh by the way, the current time in here is 4:40 A.M.).

I was just thinking why in the world I can’t move on. She wasn’t the first girl that I loved after all (fact: I was rejected by about 6-8 girls, can’t really remember the exact number, some of them where crushes, but there are some that I really did love. Well, I still got rejected by them anyway until she came).

And you know what? I came up with a simple yet stupid answer. Haha. It’s okay if you’d laugh, but it’s true. The answer was that I considered her as my wife (you can laugh, go ahead). Pathetic, isn’t it? A 17 year old that was in a relationship with a 15 year old, thinking of her as his wife. Come on, it’s insane isn’t it? Yeah, call it crazy, call it insane, call it every name you can call it. But I call it “love”.

I keep on telling myself, “No, come on; don’t be stupid. She’s not your wife. She doesn’t even want and will never want to marry you right now or in the near future, wake up!” But guess what? I’m really am just plain stupid. I answered myself humbly, “I didn’t love her to love me back.” And there you go; my other self won’t answer back. Plain stupid, isn’t it?

Someone said that time heals everything. Yeah, I know that. Everyone does. However, I don’t need to be healed or let me just rephrase that as “I don’t want to be healed” for some unknown reason (at least we know it’s another stupid one).

Maybe I should just stop thinking, no? It’s already 5:02 A.M. here. I feel a bit sleepy, but let me write a short letter for her (even though there’s just one in a million chances for her to be able to read this):


Dear ____________,

I’ll always love you.

-- J.D.

Which element of a breakup dictates recovery time more: the type of breakup, or the person you broke up with? My theory is the type of breakup you experience determines how long it takes to get over it more than the actual person.

Here are 7 different types of breakups ranked by shortest recovery time to longest recovery time:

7. The Mutual Breakup

This is as peaceful a breakup as you can have, like when the entire family agrees it's time to pull the plug on grandpa's respirator: he is freed of his misery, and the family feels a sense of relief. I've never had a mutual breakup. I can't catch that lightning in a bottle. But it can't be that tough to recover from a mutual breakup and get back out in the dating scene again.

6. The Circumstantial Breakup

A cousin of the mutual breakup, the circumstantial breakup occurs when the environment around you won't permit the relationship to continue: my parents hate you, you're in Cali and I'm in NY (or even, you're one town over), I need to be single for a while, etc. Recovery time is shortened because the other person offers an excuse that takes the focus off your weaknesses or unattractive qualities that could have caused a breakup.

5. The Ultimatum Breakup

The most common ultimatum leading to a breakup is: "ask me to marry you within the next year of I'm out of here." Other conflicts could cause ultimatums as well: change your religion, get rid of that stupid old car, etc. Ultimatum breakups can be tough to get over because it's annoying that a little compromise could have prevented it. But once it's over, that pressure from the stalemate you reached in the relationship is gone, so it's quite a relief.

4. The Something Someone Said Breakup

My friend broke up with his girlfriend he was dating for years, and he mentioned a conversation that occurred shortly before they broke up. They were discussing wedding rings, and she asked how much he'd spend. He simply hasn't studied the "market" so he threw a number out there: "I don't know, $5,000." She scoffed and said: "You should spend no less than $20,000."

He told me after she said that, he couldn't think of her the same way anymore. In fact, it put a figurative "X" over her image in his eyes. They eventually broke up, and this conversation was the springboard. This type of breakup is painful because you wish you could take something you said or did back.

3. The I've Been Cheating

Whether you find out from them or some other way, it's the ultimate betrayal when they are cheating on you. You can get over it because you dismiss this person as a cheating jerk, but you still feel stupid and you might spend several months envisioning the cheating or trying to regain faith in the opposite gender.

2. The First Love Breakup

The First Love breakup is one of the toughest to overcome. Some say you never get over it. This breakup teaches us that the world is a bigger place than we thought. There are more people to meet, there are bills to pay, there are places to go. Things just can't stay the same as they once were.

Mine hit me when I got to college and my girlfirend stayed behind in high school. Eventually, we had to move on. The first love breakup is hurts so much because you've never experienced this feeling of loss and disappointment before. And, it's part of growing up and growing up is usually a painful process.

1. The Blind Side

My friend recently blind sided his ex. After she cried for an hour, he decided he had put in enough time and he left. This is traumatic because it comes out of nowhere. The blind sider may have been thinking about it for months, and they conceal their intentions, then drop the bomb while everything seems to be going well. In fact, the couple may have spent time together the night before, but the blind sider did so out of obligation.

Blind Sides chip away at your ability to trust. If someone can break up with you when things seem to be going so well, you'll have a tough time avoiding paranoia and trusting your new partners.

Reposted only from Lemuel Villaflor's note in Facebook

            "We may have taken different paths now but who knows? Maybe we might end up meeting again in the future. Well, that is if our fates are intertwined with each other."          

            It's been a very long year for me. Many things happened. Some of it made me want to give up, really. But I really do find it funny how I tend to complain on how hard my hardships had been, yet I still manage to get out of it, somehow. Well enough of the drama part, I'm sure most of the ones who read my past entries are tired of these "hopeless romantic" essays. LOL           

            I'm about to leave this country. Yeah, you read it right. It's on Friday, February 19. I'll be heading in a far away country called Canada. Actually, I was supposed to stay there for almost the rest of my life, but I met someone who made me want to stay (At least, that was, uhm, a year ago?) Now that I'm about to leave, I don't really want to comeback, but because of my half-assed reason last time, I am forced (not really) to return and study here (The reason I gave my family was that I wanted to finish my studies at THE University of the Philippines. Little they know that the real reason WAS a person. Haha)           

            I wrote this essay to express my gratitude to those whom I've met. I know it's not much, but I hope you like it.

First of all, THANK YOU. I thank you all for everything. J           

They say memories tend to fade. No matter how hard you contradict that, no matter which angle u look at it, it IS true. However, I want to keep mine well preserve, everything, yes, everything, especially my memory with her. :D  Here is the list of the ones I thank the most (got this style from my friend's note in Facebook, Cherry Mae Cristobal):

•1.      Thank You to the one who made me happiest. I'll forever treasure you and continue to love you. J I PROMISE that I'll never forget you.

•2.      Thank You to the one who stayed with me even though I know she's tired with all her school works and my repeated blabbing of how I'm tired of living in this world. :))

•3.      Thank You to the one who tried to understand me the most. I might have hurt her with my words saying no matter what she does, she'll never understand, so, you have my sorry as well. You're the one who was closest to understand me.

•4.      Thank You to a friend of hers who NEVER betrayed her while trying to not betray me as well. You were a good friend. I appreciated everything you've done.

•5.      Thank You to another friend of hers who were always there for me as well. I know she's busy with her school works and her own life (ehem, you know what I mean. Haha, I don't want to tell it here because someone who shouldn't know might end up reading is, so it's safer to make it sound this way.)

•6.      Thank You to yet another friend of hers who I know she has her own problems but still had time to cheer me up.

•7.      Thank You to yet another friend of hers who I had fun sharing things with. Another busy one, but you can always count on her.

•8.      Thank You to the girl, who despite of not being able to always talk to her, she responded to one of my group messages, the time when I needed someone to talk to the most.

•9.      Thank You to another girl who always gave me the bright side of things even though she always calls me names. HAHA. Even though she's now busy with school because she's about to graduate, she's still one text away.

•10.  Thank You to the girl who I always share gossips with. She makes me laugh when I need to.

•11.  Thank You to the girl I once liked. She was a good friend to me. :D

•12.  Thank You to my friends in my church. They always make me forget my problems.

•13.  Thank you to the girl I like the most right now. She's the one who never fails to make me smile. I may be just a friend to you, but you're more than that to me, though that would be the only thing between us, nothing more, nothing less (I guess? Haha).

•14.  Lastly, thank you to the one who is reading this right now. The fact that you're reading this right now means I am important to you, even though it's just "a bit". Thank you so much. J

"Chance meeting or fated meeting, whatever you call it, I'm thankful I met you. And I hope to meet you again. J"

 

            How long has it been since I wrote something that should be concealed from everyone else? How long has it been since I tried to drown myself from everything else in this world with the use of a small gadget with its earphones plugged in my ears? I can't even remember properly. Oh, I forgot, I always tend to forget everything since that day.

            Right now, a series of mixed emotions are slowly flowing through my veins. I looked around but all I can see is darkness (well, the lights are turned off, no wonder). I was curled up like a ball in my bed, biting my hands as hard as I can just to calm myself. Yes, I'm insane right now. But would you be able to roll your eyes or laugh at me as you read that phrase if you're in the same shoe as me? Well, I know you won't be able to, or at least, I hope you won't be able to because if you'd be able to, you're just plain cold-hearted.

            I looked at my cellular phone, hoping that there would be a message to read (just to pass time). But who the hell would send a message during this time of the morning? It's just 3:37 A.M. Well, since it's futile to wait, I decided to turn my full attention to the music currently playing in Terzo.03 (he's my iPod Nano, 5^th Generation). "I'll escape reality for awhile," I said to myself. So the music dragged on with me paying none of my attention to anything else. And as it serenade my mind, my lips unconsciously followed every bit of its lyrics silently:

I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay, but you argued
More than this I wish, you could've seen my face
In backseats staring out, the window

I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

I've earned through hope and faith
On the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this I pray to you wherever

I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
('Cause I'd do anything you want me to for you)
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up

            My consciousness continued to slip away, so I'm not quite sure how many times my lips followed the said song. As I opened my eyes, I saw a gentle light from my window. "So, it's morning again, huh?" I said to myself. I thought that even though every night seems to be hellish, I have always been given the chance to witness another day of life (even though for me, it really seems irrelevant to continue living now, seriously). I straightened my back and prayed to the one who gave me this precious gift (yes, I think it's still precious despite how much irrelevant I think it is for me).

These are interesting things to ponder in a relationship (The ones that are in bold letters are my favorites. I even made reactions to some of it. Enjoy reading!):

1. "Ang mag-assume, TALO."

2. "Kung ayaw may DAHILAN, kung gusto may PARAAN." (ALWAYS TRUE, believe it or not)

3. "Wag masyado magpadala sa text."

4. "BACK OFF (as in back off) sa mga IN A RELATIONSHIP, kahit saan anggulo mo tingnan, ikaw pa rin ang mali."

5. "Never borrow someone else's man/girl. If he/she cheated with you, he'll/she'll cheat on you."

6. "Hayaan mo siyang gawin yung gusto niyang gawin. Buhay niya yun, hindi mo maco-control. As long as alam niya yung limitations niya."

7. "Take it slow. Steady lang."

8. "Maniwala sa IT'S COMPLICATED na status. Hindi lang chenes yan."

9. "Learn to LET GO kung alam mong wala na talaga." (Madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin diba? Haha...)

10. "Keep your DIGNITY."

11. "If a man/woman wants you, nothing can keep him/her away. If he/she doesn't want you, nothing can make him/her stay." (So true, but hard to accept...)

12. "Wag magselos sa siblings and relatives ng boyfriend/girlfirend mo."

13. "Ang QT (quality time), at least 5 hours lang per week." (Importante to sa isang relationship, maniwala kayo.)

14. "Don't revolve your life around him/her. Learn to be independent." (TAMA. Pero darating yung time na anung gawin mo, magrerevolve sa kaniya ung buhay mo.)

15. "Hindi dahilan ang TIME."

16. "Kung ayaw sayo ng kapatid, hayaan mo siya. Wala siyang magagawa kung mahal ka talaga niya."

17. "Wag magpakilala sa parents agad. It can affect your relationship." (So true, so true, it's one of my fatal mistakes.)

18. "Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Kadalasan tama ito mga girls."

19. "Be nice to your EX. Wag maging BITTER." (TAMA!)

20. "If a relationship ends because the man/woman was not treating you as you deserve, then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. At some case this is applicable." (Tinamaan aq rito. Totoo to... L)

21. "Wag magpadala sa SITUATION. Baka overwhelmed ka lang."

22. "Stop making excuses for a man/woman and his/her behavior. Paminsan-minsan take off your helmet."

23. "When you meet anyone, remember it's a holy encounter. As you treat them you will treat yourself. As you think of them, you think of yourself. Never forget this, for in them you will find yourself or lose yourself."

24. "Hindi balakid kung magkaiba ang RELIGION niyong dalawa."

25. "Kung kayang i-workout, i-WORKOUT!"
Kalokohan ang reason na "IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME." (Ngayon alam niyo na. haha...)

26. "All men are NOT dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending... compromise is a two way street."

27. "Learn to forgive para magkaroon ka ng peace of mind."

28. "Some can forgive but can't forget." (True... L)

29. "If something bothers you, speak up! mahirap kapag nagpapakiramdaman lang kayo."

30. "OPEN COMMUNICATION, TRUST AND HONESTY are the most important ingredients in a relationship." (Tandaan niyo to!)

31. "You need time to heal between relationships. there is nothing cute about baggage. deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship pag hindi kasi, it can affect or even ruin your relationship."

32. "Ok lang na magselos, basta yung pakilig lang."

33. "Always have your own set of friends separate from his/her para may iba kang channels that is without him/her." (L)

34. "Make him/her miss you sometimes. when a man/woman always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him/her, he/she takes it for granted."

35. "Always make time for your family and friends."

36. "You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. look for someone complimentary. not supplementary." (Di ako masyado naniniwala rito. Pero alam kong totoo to. Labo no? haha)

37. "Always make time for yourself."

38. "Wala yun sa tagal ng relationship. nasa pagmamahal." (Tama...)

39. "There's NO SUCH THING as MR. RIGHT or MS. RIGHT. It's how you mold him/her to become rightfully for you." (I AGREE! DEFINITELY!)

40. "There's NO SUCH THING as COOL OFF/GRAY AREA. Kung white, white! Kung black, black! Walang GRAY AREA."

41. "Always think a number of times before deciding on to something important." (Think more than twice, ok?)

42."There's a possibility that a person can get attracted to another. It's human nature. It's not wrong. But that is why you're in a commitment, you discipline yourself. One may get attracted to numerous prospects and its ok. As long as you don't nurse the feeling and do something about it. It's the borderline between cheating and faithfulness. Recognize reality that you already have the person that can give you more than what you get for the cheap thrill of attraction."

43. "You need to let go of the past to have a future" (Isa na namang madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin.)

44. "Do not take anyone for granted."

45. "If what you see by the eye doesn't please you, then close your eyes and see from the heart. Because the heart can see beauty and love more than the eyes can ever wonder."

46. "If you felt it, then it was true. Getting hurt doesn't always mean you suffered, it also means you loved sincerely. Don't frown because it's over. SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED." (I STRONGLY DISAGREE! YOU CAN'T SMILE DURING THESE TIMES! I can assure you, no matter what, you won't be able to smile just because it happened)

47. "KARMA (whatever you do) will find its way." (Matakot kayo.)

48. "Everything will fall into place." (This is the one thing that I truly believe. There is no such thing as "never meant to be." Everything is "meant to be." It just didn't turn out the way we wanted it to.)

            Hey! I've been so busy just reading mangas nowadays (because I'm a bit lonely and is missing someone. To simply put it, I'm a bit "emo" lately. L.O.L.) and I wanted to share some of them to you (well, at least the ones I like the most) but before that, let me introduce to you what mangas are (for those who doesn't know what they really are but if you do know, skip this part and just read ranked mangas). 

Well, most of you have probably heard the word "manga" from one of your friends or so but don't actually know how it looks like or what it is. It's basically like what you see in comic books. Well, to simply put it, it's the "comic book" of the Japanese people. Here's a sample.

This is a scene from Naruto Chapter 474

 

-:-Here's the list of the one's I enjoy/enjoyed reading the most (ranked from 1-10)-:-

            1. Naruto

Status: Ongoing

Updates: Weekly

Plot:

The story started with a kid named Uzumaki Naruto in a ninja village called Konoha. He was first rejected by the whole village because a demon fox was planted within his body by the deceased Fourth Hokage (Konoha Leader). He's trying his best to aim for the title "Hokage" and gain the village's trust. However, it might turn out that he won't only gain trust from the people of Konoha but from the whole ninja world itself!

Comment:

I ranked it as number one because the story is just way cool and unpredictable (though there are some boring parts that sometimes take even one chapter!). It's just worth reading. J

            2. Bleach

Status: Ongoing

Updates: Weekly

            Makunochi Ippo was just a guy bullied in his school. Well, he WAS. He became interested in boxing because of a guy named Mamoru Takamura who saved him from the bullies and is now aspiring to be the top boxer of the world in his weight class!

Comment:

            It's exciting to read. Can't even believe I read 100+ chapters in just two days. You'd be left wanting to know immediately what would happen next with every chapter end. It's also a funny type of manga. In addition, it depicts what a typical guy's dream would be like. So if you're into sports esp. boxing, this is a manga worth trying to read. I'm currently so hooked to this one. (It now has 800+ chapters by the way. haha)J

Comment:

            This is another funny one. Though boring parts are present, it just suddenly gets interesting when you're about to get tired of the "boring parts". Check it out. J

Status: Completed

Sena was then made the running back of the Devil Bats and with the team, they will try to make their way to the top of the world of football.

Comment:

            Well, I love Hiruma's dark sense of humour and his genius tactics in football. It's a pretty boring manga for a non-football lover, but you might be interested in reading it, I wasn't much of a football lover as well but hey, I finished it anyway without getting bored. ;)

Hope you try reading all of them! Enjoy. ^_^

P.S. Just click the "Onemanga" on my blog (it's on top) if you're interested in reading any of them. J
