White Album 1-3: A Mixed Bag of Notes, Thoughts, and Thingamabobs

Touya, our ‘lead guy’ in White Album, has had a relationship with Yuki for quite some time now. With the flashbacks shown in episode 3, we see that they’ve known each other since junior high (take this with a grain of salt since I’m simply basing this on my observation regarding Yuki’s uniform and hair length in the flashback), and that ‘puppy love’ probably blossomed into something deeper as the years go by. How they managed to get out of the ‘more than friends, not yet lovers’ limbo is far beyond me. Perhaps this is something we’ll get to see unveiled sooner or later?

[White Album] MANLY by Proxy, and Prediction of Things to Come

I remember reading this blog post / article a few months ago, about how a girl (let’s call her Girl A) can perceive a [boring- or plain-looking] guy to be ‘handsome(r) by proxy’ (I don’t remember the exact term used, and I also can’t find the article I’m referring to orz) when she finds out that the guy actually has a girlfriend (let’s call her Girl B), and not just any girl but someone whom Girl A considers to be on a ‘higher ground’ than she is, in terms of physique or other shallow criteria for judging the “better girl”.

In an Effort to Bring Back Old Posts from the ‘Grave’

Ever since I set my eyes on the nifty post slideshow in the homepage of Oi Hayaku, I immediately thought of it as a MUST HAVE for our blog. *in before accusations of being a thief :P * Rather than having it display the latest posts, I thought it would be most useful to showcase the ones that we personally deem to be worth-sharing, especially those that have been buried deep in the archives ‘graveyard’ that most readers wouldn’t really bother digging deeeep into, unless he/she is a hardcore fan of the blog. Or is just a totally bored. Imagine a ‘Blogging Hall of Fame’ of some sort, composed of stuff carefully(?) selected from among the pile of posts in the blog. And with this, we bring you the ‘random featured posts’ slideshow in the homepage. Step out of your RSS Feed Reader for a second and please take a look! Oh and be amazed with the Tag [Cumulus] Cloud too :P

A Tale of Friendship, Love, LULZ, and ToraDora

I had the chance to go on an escapade to my hometown together with my college classmates / barkada last December 28-30. Though to be exact, it’s like they dragged me to their planned escapade so I can be their host or something lol. Being the willing victim that I was, I had no complaints~! It’s been more than a year since we’ve had this get-together (well they had previous outings / team-building activities but I always end up not joining >_>;), so it was something I really looked forward to, not to mention it’s a chance for me to go back to my ojousama lifestyle where I simply sit and the meals get magically served onto my plate!
