Re-watching とらドラ! (ToraDora!)

I first saw とらドラ! (ToraDora!)  in TV5. Unfortunately, they didn't finish the series so I went about youtube to search for the remaining episodes. v(^__^) It is my favorite slice of life anime. I am currently watching it for the third time. v(^__^)

Plot Summary: Despite Ryuuji Takasu's gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent. Class rearrangements on his second high school year put him together with his best friend, Yuusaku Kitamura, and his hidden crush, Minori Kushieda. Along with these two comes Kushieda's best friend, Taiga Aisaka. Her delicate appearance contrasts with her brutal personality. Secretly in love with Kitamura, Taiga agrees to help Ryuuji with his love interest as long as he helps her get closer to hers.

The title とらドラ! (ToraDora!) comes from the names of the protagonists. Taiga sounds like tiger in English, and とら (tora) is Japanese for tiger. Ryuuji, on the otherhand, means son of dragon in Japanese, and ドラゴン (doragon) is a transcription of the word dragon in Japanese.

Their friendship started when Taiga Aisaka accidentally slipped her love letter for Yuusaku Kitamura into Takasu Ryuuji's backpack. She went panicky about the mistake and intended to hide her embarrasment by dying. However, she doesn't want to die so she sneaks into Takasu's house to either kill him or erase his memories (by hitting his head with a wooden katana sword). Eventually, they agreed to help each other win the hearts of their object of affections - Yuusaku Kitamura for Taiga and Minori Kushieda for Takasu. 

Taiga lives alone in an ultra luxurious condo unit beside Takasu's humble abode. Her parents are divorced and she can't stand to live with either of her parents. Takasu lives with her mother who goes to work every night as a waitress, or something similar to that. As such, Takasu learned to be very self-sufficient. He knows how to do all the housework. With this set-up, Takasu became somewhat Taiga's guardian and caretaker. She even dubbed Takasu as her dog.

Change

Over the last few months, I've been thinking of changing my blogger template again. I seriously feel the need to do so. :p


But I'm too hesitant to do it because I'm thinking of all the efforts I put in this current template. Haha. I know that this current theme isn't too good at all but I consumed A LOT of time tweaking some html and javascript codes here and there. :p


Oh well, I hope that I can find the time to do so.

What Matters Are The Things In The Middle

It is the road most traveled by, I think.

So somehow, I knew what's in there without threading my footprints on it.

But then, it might be that a different world opens

For each one who dares to penetrate the wilderness behind it

For every time that one dares to take another slip into it.

For some, the travel ends in a meadow.

But for some, in a ravine.

Maybe what matters are the things that happened in the middle.
The perils, the undertakings, the adventures.

Along the way, through the way.

I never thought that extreme sadness and super real happiness could co-exist at the same time. Ibig sabihin nito, baliw na ako. =))

Pakiramdam ko nawalan ako ng isang napakahalagang kayamanan.

Kung kaya ko lang sanang gumawa ng happy ending story para sa'yo. =;(

ありがとう ございます :)

I seldom glance back now

Because I feel

That there's too much

Of what's going to happen ahead

And I thank you

For this meaning you gave

As to why I have

To feel all those pains

I'm thinking of when to tell him about you.
Of how to tell him. Of where to start.
Or if I should tell him about you at all.

Hindi ako confident sa itsura ng output. Haha.
Pero wala akong magawa sa confidence na naipapakita.
At problema ko rin talaga na hindi ako marunong magsabi ng opinyon/suggestions ko. T_T
