Yey! My Cyber debut
I'm not a fan of social-networking sites. I don't have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Multiply, deviantart, and the only reason I opened a friendster account eons ago was to cyber-stalk my crushie (not effective).
Why don't I have such accounts? 1) Because I have nothing to put in them. I have no life. I am a NEET, almost a hikikomori. 2) Do i really need to be bombarded with 10,000 newsfeeds a day? I love my friends, and I would love to know how they're doing, but do I really need to know what you had for lunch? or read pa-profound status messages? 3) I'm too lazy. I don't plan to go on-line everyday to update or to check what's up with the world. 4) My dad has facebook. Of course i would have to add him. and if I do, I won't be able to rant about stuff I really want to rant about. And I love my dad and all, but I don't really want to read his posts. May contain embarrassing stuff.
So why in the world did I open a livejournal account? Because I am bored. This is my attempt to have a life. And since I am the only one in this house who is an Arashi fangirl, anime and manga otaku, and Filipino komiks fan, I don't have anyone to talk to, to fangirl with, nobody who would understand why I would suddenly squeal in the middle of watching a japanese show. So I hope I can find people to fangirl (or fanboy) with.
Oh, and I also need to polish my writing skills. I plan to go to grad school, so I need to write in a way that is clear, concise, and gets the point across. I hope I am making sense.
And since this is my first post ever, a kind of introduction is in order (at least I think so):
I am a Filipino Born-again Christian. I recently graduated from the country's premiere university with a bachelor of arts degree in Psychology. By God's grace, I graduated with flying colors.
I love love love Arashi, anime, and manga. Its my dream to be proficient in Japanese, good enough that I could watch japanese shows without subtitles, read manga raws, and join fansubbing communities. Good enough that I could understand what people around me are saying when I got to Japan. Have I mentioned that my biggest dream is to go to japan? Either as a grad student on a scholarship or a missionary, teaching english on the side.
I also support Filipino komiks. My komiks collection include:
Beerkada (1-10 and chompy's doujins) by Lyndon Gregorio
Kikomachine (1-6 and 12) by Manix Abrera
Trese (1-3) by by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo
Carpool (1-2) by Syeri Baet-Zamar
Callwork (1-2) by Hazel Manzano
Kubori Kikiam (1-3) by Michael David
Ang Kagila-gilalas na Pakikipagsapalaran ni Zsazsa Zaturnah by Carlo Vergara
Cresci Prophecies (1-2) by Joanah Tinio
Sulyap, Komikon Inc's first komiks anthology
and indie komiks (more on that on a later post)
I would absolutely love to explore these fandoms and meet people all over the globe who are bigger fans than I could ever be.
Wow, I've written so much. Hooray for my first post! Time to go and eat lunch before Ohno turns me into sashimi.
