Anime Season: Current Addiction

Had so much fun with all the new anime shows that started this month which is the main reason why I've been neglecting to update my blog for the past few days now. 

I just ♥ ♥ ♥ anime but even if a lot of anime are being released every month, only a few anime can stir my interest. Just in case, you - dear reader might be interested with anime too so I'll share with you what anime shows I find interesting this season - so you can check it out (not to mention I also want to gush out the stories I've seen and read in the manga ~kekeke ) .

New Anime Releases

• Sword Art Online

Kirito is an avid gamer who got a 1 out of the ten thousand limited edition copy of the game Sword Art Online. Though their bodies in the real world, their minds are inside the game world - Aincrad. It turns to a perilous death game when the gamers are not able to get out of the gameworld and being killed by any monster within the game would mean certain death in reality, thus the only way for them get out of the game is to level up, go from level 1 to level 100 and beat all monster bosses per level while making sure that their life points wont be drained during each fight. Why I like this: I don't really play online games but if this type of technology would exist I definitely would love to try it out. To live inside an imaginary world, to see and feel things as if its real and make friends with people who in reality live in the other side of the world - the idea of the technology used in the plot, not to mention, the star crossed love story Kirito and Asuna of this anime really excites me.

• Kamisama Hajimemashita

Nanao Momozono is a homeless highschool girl who was bestowed the power to be an earth deity when she saved the earth god from a dog. She is learning the ropes to become a good earth deity with the assistance of a handsome fox demon. Why I like this: I so love kitsune characters like Tomoe. The strict and gruff exterior of Tomoe (who's actually caring and loving on the inside) and Nanao's cheerful but stubborn personality makes their interactions so fun and giddy. I just die when Tomoe does his puppy eyes expression when he's reasoning out! LMAO!

• Tonari no Kaibutsu

Mizutani Shizuku is the type of person who only cares for her own grades and isn't interested in making friends. And then she meets Yoshida Haru, a very strong and smart (sort of a genius martial artist) but also is very gullible and childlike guy who falls in love with her. Why I like this: Haru reminds me of my love Tamaki from Ouran Club in terms of their intelligence and innocence.! Haru yearns to be a normal kid with loving friends since everyone seems to be afraid of him and so he was happy to know Mizutani who approaches her without fear. Mizutani has her own little world but it slowly expanded and grown livelier ever since she met Haru. A cold-hearted girl and super-troublemaker romance with a fresh new perspective. Cute cute love story!

• Say that I love you / Sukitte Ii-inayo

Mei Tachibana has spent her life wihout making friends (bullies just love this girl). One day, she injures a popular boy in school, Yamato Kurosawa, because of a misunderstanding but for some reason it seems that he takes a liking to her and one-sidedly claims that they’re friends. Why I like this: True, that Mei seems a bit like Mizutani from Tonari no Kaibutsu and their story is a bit mainstream - popular guy likes weird girl - but the story doesn't fail to deliver romantic scenes that makes you giddy. Also, Yamato reminds me of  my beloved Sebastian in Kuroshitsuji ♥

• Code: Breaker

Sakurakouji Sakura stalks her classmate Oogami Rei after she saw him burning criminals with a blue fire coming out of his hand. Oogami is a Code Breaker, one who "does not exist" assassin who kills criminals that escaped the law. Convinced that killing is not right, Sakurakouji sets out to stop him and penetrate his icy heart. Why I like this: This is my fave anime this season because of all the bishounens ~kekeke. It started as a serious and action based anime but reading the manga there's a LOT of funny scenes (courtesy of my Toki). I love the idea of government hired supernatural assassins driven to hilarious madness because of a stubborn and strong, "rare" girl.  

On Going

• Kuruko No Basket

Kuroko is a member from the legendary middle school basketball team known as "The Generation of Miracles", and while nobody seems to know about him, the main 5 players of the team all admit that he is a better player. When he joins the high school basketball team, everyone is surprised to find out that he is small, weak, and easy to miss. Why I like this: I adore sports based anime and this story is something new since the main character isn't your typical hero because he's not the best player who can beat anyone but its interesting because he does have a special ability that makes the best player acknowledge him! 

Just Finished

• Arcana Famiglia

 

The story takes place on the small island of Regalo in the Mediterranean Sea. The island has been protected by a vigilante committee called "Arcana Famiglia". The members of the family have psychic powers gained by a secret ritual. Felicita is a 16-year-old girl who was raised by her strict mother. She visits Regalo to see her father who is the head of Arcana Famiglia. He tells her to become the leader of "Serie of Sword", the arbitrator section of the family. As one of the members of Arcana Famiglia, Felicita interacts with other handsome but eccentric members. Why I hate this:  The idea about the characters and their qualities is amazing, like a Fairytail / The Godfather sort of way and to just have it wasted by the storyline. Its an okay show but you cant help to feel frustrated about storyline wasting the characters and idea that way. Hmpft!

 Anime Characters Mentioned Above: 

Just want to post their pics for the heck of it! Love these guys and their anime shows (Kuroshitsuji and Ouran Host Club)

Girls Day Out in Bonhomie Leisure & Resort

Stressed with sudden changes in the office, my friends and I decided to pack our bags and travel as far as we can away from the noise and energy in the metro to look for a place to relax. It was also Taynee's birthday so she asked us if we can go to Bonhomie Leisure & Resort and since neither of us (even her) have been there, we thought heading out in Davao Oriental would be an adventure and a first for all of us.

And indeed it was such an experience starting from the trip to the resort. From a scenery of establishments and cars, it changes to a lush vivid green trees and plants as we travel farther north and there was even a light drizzle that makes the air so fresh. It was so much FUN and nerve-wracking to be on a bus going to a place you've never been or even heard of before with your friends, whose eyes are darting from the left to the right to make sure that we can spot the resort and stop in the right area. Our clueless faces were so HILARIOUS and when we finally spotted the resort (Thank God it was just on the highway) we were jumping up out of the bus while giggling.

Bonhomie Leisure and Resort is along the National Highway in Puntalinao, Banaybanay, Davao Oriental and its something that is really hard to miss because of the big bold "Bonhomie" sign in the center of two bright yellow posts on their gate. Bonhomie's location is great not only because its easy to spot and accessible since its just along the highway but on the other side of the highway there is the foot of the hills while there's a vast pristine sea in the front of the resort. Its a cute and convenient little getaway where you can get a view of the mountains and the sea.

Upon entering the resort, you will be greeted with bright colors splashed in bricked ground while their reception area has these chic but comfy sofas and art pieces hung on the walls. The place has several spacious cottages, billiard tables, darts area, a muti purpose area, an infinity pool, and they also have an acoustic band every weekend. 

Another first that we did in this resort is to build a tent. Amongst the five of us, only Ellyn "knows" how to set up one and it was such a huge tent (10 people can sleep in it) so we were all trying to help Ellyn out at first but later on Taynee and Ariane gave up and just posed while I (also gave up) was taking pictures. Thanks to Ellyn and Joan's perseverance that we have a place to sleep into that night. ~kekeke 

It was still twilight when building tent was done and we stopped to enjoy the scenery and I loved the sea at that time, it was as if I was looking on a sea made of mercury instead of water. The sea looked as if its glistening silver, and I am not exaggerating since all of five of us had the same thought and we were staring at the sea in awe.

One of the things that really made this experience stand out was because we went there on a weekday, we expected only a few people would be there but we were the only guests that day so it was as if we reserved the whole area..Yay! - Resort Owners for a Day.! 

After our early dinner, we decided so relax in the pool and I just so love the pool because the color they selected for it (deep cobalt blue) really makes it look so inviting. The pool also have this fountain, underwater lights and "water spurts" (don't know what its called but its water spurting from the side of the pool that forms an arc) and even if we were already having fun splashing in the pool, the resort staff still turned on all those pool features for just the five of us together with the Christmas lights on the pool recliners and trees.

The resort staff were friendly and assisted us in taking pictures and would smile to us and ask us if everything is well. They even showed us the octopus' that they caught that night. 

In the morning,we decided to swim in the sea and the scenery was amazing because if we look in front, left or right of us we can see the mountains. Love ♥ We really don't want to leave since it was really a relaxing two days and night but of course, we have to and even leaving that place we also have first time experienced. It was the first time that either of us hitchhiked!! !LOL! 

Overall, it was a nice and relaxing experience with a lot of first time experiences,thus it was really a memorable trip for me and my friends.
