☆ THE WALKING CONTRADICTION ☆
Taina is your typical, introverted 17-year old born under the star of Taurus. She's the shy-and-quiet type who, when online, turns into her evil and sarcastic alter-ego, Yuki. From her biased point of view, she considers herself as a
rabid yaoi
fangirl, a budding writer, a frustrated artist, an idealistic realist, and a lost soul
creating her place in the world.
Among other things, she enjoys reading, psychologizing people, writing, web designing, drawing, watching anime, conversing, eating, a bit of debating, walking, traveling, sleeping and
drowning herself in music. At the moment, she is trying to fall deeply and wholly in love with the Lord.
In her own little way, she is constantly making steps to achieve her goal of world domination, (cliché as it may sound) hauling the
Philippines from its third-world status through the revival of its own culture.
[obsessions <3] Yaoi, bishie guys that have tragic pasts and dark secrets... my bishounen, chocolate,
anime, computers, Photoshop, books, the web, and God.

☆ VANILLA FRIES ☆
...is a never-ending story. It came from the shortened version of French fries and vanilla ice cream. Why,
you ask? Because the two go better together than with ketchup. And because
the author had no imagination, and was eating said finger food smothered
in aforementioned dessert when she was thinking up of a blog name. Ta-da! XD

listening to: Last Alliance - Maboroshi Memory mood: upbeat
Gah, I was supposed to blog about Last Alliance eons ago, but. >.<
At least this goes to show that my love for Last Alliance isn't mere infatuation. Let me start narrating my love affair for this J-rock band by saying this:
HOMGWTHBBQ LAST ALLIANCE!!11!
It all really started when I got hooked on Ouran Host Club. I watched the anime in two sittings, and at first I really enjoyed listening to both the opening and ending songs (Sakura Kiss and Shissou). After a while I started skipping Sakura Kiss and just listened to Shissou.
I immediatley loved Shissou, especially when they used it as the ringtone of the twins in one of the episodes (ep. 15 I think?). The beat, the feel, rhythm and lyrics of the song was great. I was addicted to it. XD Thus, I started my quest for more LA songs.
I found Maboroshi Memory, which is my current fave. And I got a chance to listen to their other songs as well, like: Rebel Fire, Green Sunlight, Gray End and Break A Mirror. I loved all even if I just listened to them once.
I'm now on a downloading spree. :D
If you wanna listen to Last Alliance (and I recommend that you do! They may be doing rock songs but they're really easy on the ears and you'll be amazed by the awesome guitars and drums. And the lyrics speak to your heart. Really.), here's where I'm currently downloading their songs: http://kuronosubeta.livejournal.com/4262.html
Listen to Shissou, Maboroshi Memory, Equal Reason and Gray End-- you won't be disappointed.

*** I know it's sembreak and all, so you'd think that I should find time to update my blog. Well, I did have time, but I spent it on scanning, editing and uploading my plates to DeviantArt. Please do take a look if you've got time to spare: http://autumnsnow.deviantart.com/. Thank you! ^_^ Labels: Anime, Music
listening to: Sanbun no Junou na Kanjou - Siam Shade mood: happy-sleepy
My! With the entrance of June, so maaaany things happened. Usually, I'm a homebody, but for the past few days I've spent my waking hours away from home. I hate being cooped up at home to vegetate, so the change of routine is welcome. I love travelling, walking, just being constantly on the move. I tire easily, but it's the I-feel-so-productive-and-content type. A recap of my havoc-spreading activities these past few days:
New haircut! Usually trips to the salon are treated with anxiety. My hair is anything but manageable, it's all wild and wavy and happy, so I have to make sure that the hair cut I get looks okay even if I don't blow-dry it or something. I'm not very prissy when it comes to my hair, generally my over-all looks, so... Anyway, I had a layered cut. S'alright but the bangs aren't exactly what I wanted...
Jzone and Dgroups! Last Saturday we joined a CCF youth group called Jzone. We met Elle, who let us join her Discipleship group (I'm not exactly sure if that's what it means). At first we were a bit uneasy since we didn't know anyone, but pretty soon we started to enjoy the presentation, talks, and the mini-concert thing. It was fun, and me and my sisters are planning to attend it regularly.
Family time! Consequently, after the Jgroup thing, we got to shop for a while. It's been a while since we really got together as a family and do those normal things we used to do when were still kids. My sisters and I wanted to buy anime DVDs; they had everything from Gakuen Alice, Ouran Koukou, to Death Note! *__* They were bootleg copies, though. After much debate with my practical side, I bought myself a versatile bolero instead.
Death Note! My sisters and I were able to visit Comic Alley again after some time. And OMGJkassksjsajhjhjku THEY HAVE AN L PLUSHIE! L! WITH THE HAIR AND THE EYES AND THE BAD HABIT (of teh fingers pressing against his lips XD)! AND THE SITTING POSITION! I MEAN, it was sooooooo cute. ;__; Which reminded me of the materials I bought last year for my plushie-making plans. Since I had no time last year, I decided to postpone it for this summer. Apparently, I forgot. On purpose. Maybe Dad's right, I do have time management problems.
And classes begin... I accompanied my sister to her school today for enrollment. Since our beloved high school was just beside hers, I paid a visit to some of my teachers. I saw my third year adviser, Ms. Batulan, and Miguel (your hair looks different when liberated from gel XD). I also got to talk to our much-loved (see the sarcasm dripping?) fourth year adviser, Ma'am Caingat. I thought she would bite my head off, say things like: what kind of irresponsible valedictorian are you? You are a disgrace! You do not deserve the title! However, she was civil. And actually nice. I knew that if she was separated from Math for even a few months desirable results would be produced. :D
In the afternoon my younger sister and I went school supplies-shopping. Just the two of us, and lots of food afterwards. :DD
I'll cut off here--Jeffrey Archer's Shall We Tell The President? is beckoning me again. And, yes, I'm quite sleepy with all the activities for today.
Oh yeah, I added some browser charms from Endless Rain. *points to upper right corner of teh blog*
God bless! <3Labels: Anime, Fangirling, Life, Memories, School
listening to: Winding Road - Ayaka & Kobukuro mood: sleepy
OMGBBQ. I finally finished the coding and layout-ing of this site. JLKjsskhdsj. *rambles on incoherently*
So, yes, welcome to my third blog, Vanilla Fries. Disregard the weird and obviously-written-by-someone-hungry-slash-lovesick name. It's fun and totally disjointed and irrelevant. I like it. ♥
Cover boys (and girl) are (clockwise, starting from bottom left) Kaoru & Hikaru Hitachiin, Takashi Morinozuka, Mitsukuni Hunny, Kyouya Ootori, the overdramatic charming Tamaki Suou, and the unfortunate Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club, created by Bisco Hatori. Get to know more about them here! (You know you want to~)
Anyhow, the blog is kinda empty as of the moment. =3 Hopefully in the following days I'll be able to fill it up with posts...
Ara~... my link list is kinda empty. So anyone who'd like to link exchange, just drop me a line.
