im basking in happiness rite now.. haha.. Monday, December 10, 2007
love seems to b pretty irrational for me.. i've come to the conclusion that anyone who treats Eri badly is my enemy.. i've started to hate Tenma for about 3 volumes alreadi.. haa.. i've finished the last volume, volume 18th, that i haf alreadi.. so its kinda like im stuck.. but i guess its not realli a cliffhanger of sorts.. volume 17th made me look forward to 18th.. but at the end of volume 18th i felt at peace? haha.. but the misunderstanding the author introduced in this book is kinda disgusting to me.. my poor Eri's reputation cld b at stake here if Tenma goes beyond brainless..

i suppose that having a class full of beautiful n cute ladies classmates wld realli b a great attraction for school.. ha.. i guess half of my attraction to school rumble is due to the wonderfully drawn girls in the class that make me want to live in their world.. however impossible that may be la..

its been a week since i blogged about school rumble.. i had so much feelings n tots about it n i tot i'd definitely b able to talk non stop abt it.. especially since i onli read til volume 7 of it on the online manga website n i havent even entered the introduction of individual characters from my point of view.. but in the end i spent 1 week without coming here n i'd not haf come here if not becoz i dun want to deplete my comics too soon.. i bought 18 books of school rumble last sundae at one go.. n im alreadi at 14.. or shld i juz say im at 14 now.. 4 more books to go b4 i hit the cliff.. im afraid of reaching the bottlecap n so i refuse to read non stop.. but yet at the same time i feel like i want to noe wats happening next.. n oso i may feel that i'd juz stop here.. its quite predictable how the story seems to b flowing.. not the events but the main stream of it i suppose.. since its supposed to b a school comedy romance sorta thing? i noe that harima wld probably nv fall in love wif eri... but i wld want that to happen.. the kinda girl that eri is.. she realli deserves to haf a person whom she loves to love her wholeheartedly.. or at least thats my feelings for her..

i tot i'd stop writing anything into this place anymore since i've decided to close shop for a year or 2 at the very least.. it'd b the most surprising to me i think to haf actually taken up the pen again or in this case to lay my hands on the keyboard on this webpage again within even half a month of declaring inactivity.. of coz if its realli inactivity that i'd count for it'd b abt more than a month or so but oh wells.. i shld stop talking about my re entry of blog space..
went to jing ru's concert yesterdae n i muz admit that its something that i enjoy to the maximum n beyond.. its something i've not experienced in a long time alreadi.. something that i realli love..
but yet rationally i cld still understand y Eri wldnt want to lose such a fren as Tenma after wat she attempted to do.. i cld understand y Yakumo slapped Eri.. although at the point i saw the slap i was pretty shocked n angered becoz someone hurt my princess.. but yet a part of me understood that all this happenings were actually logical..
i've tot of many ways to introduce myself into the comic alreadi.. but drawing it out wif my own hands realli seems too much of a difficulty for me to cope wif.. i wonder if i'd even b able to start.. i probably can force start myself but how gd wld it go? hope it will turn out well...
i guess i'd make my first introduction of a school rumble character.. n that wld b my favourite n beloved girl, Eri Sawachika..
Eri is a mixed blood japanese n english.. she lived in england til around 15 or 16? b4 coming to japan.. shes in class 2C n shes gd frens wif Mikoto, Akira, n Tenma.. probably in that order as well.. shes rich, beautiful and appears to b kind n frenly.. i suppose thats enuff to mesmerize 80 to 90% of men in this world? or even theirs.. ha.. but i say appears to b.. not becoz shes not that in reality but bcoz she puts up a front when shes wif strangers or juz acquaintances.. i suppose thats somehow related to her upbringing in a rich family? but shes realli frenly n nice.. juz that becoz shes got such great assets of attraction.. she has a rather proud heart n her pride cld actually b her strength n her weakness.. hmm.. i wonder wat im saying... ha..
anyway mayb its coz of the fact that almost anyone wld b infatuated wif her or wld let her haf her way coz of her looks n background, she may juz b attracted to someone who doesnt give a damn about her.. which in this story wld b harima.. harima.. being deeply in love wif tenma.. naturally doesnt feel special for Eri but still both of them wld go thru much together.. leading to Eri mistaking certain things about their relationship..
Eri isnt realli a snobbish little girl or anything.. she juz has a great level of pride in her.. n this pride does not realli block or prevent her from making frens wif pple.. its juz that she hopes to get wat she wants sometimes? i wonder if thats true.. hmm.. ha..
I totally like her bcoz of her looks n background.. lolx.. but seeing the fact that shes juz a character in a comic n even if she owned the world i wldnt b able to obtain the slightest bit of it.. its not realli her family background that attracts me to her.. her looks wld play a part i suppose.. its realli hard for me to imagine anyone in reality to look so gd wif 2 ponytails at the side n natural blonde asian.. ok im not sure if she looks asian anot but i guess blonde wld b a definite one.. although its not that i realli like blonde hair or anything.. she juz looks soooooo beautiful.. the onli other girl in the story to even compete in looks wld probably b yakumo.. although ichijou's cuteness is unparalleled as well..
Eri has got a rather strong character.. much unlike the kind of girls i'd probably like.. i always prefer girls like ichijou's character.. or mayb yakumo's as well.. if the 2 r similar.. ha.. but i realli like Eri's personality.. i wonder y.. love probably nids no reasons.. logical ones at least.. ha..
all in all.. i love Eri.. so i'l say her name 10 times b4 i end.. Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri, Eri..
anyway i read 15 todae too.. turns out that instead of letting Eri handle wif finding out the misunderstanding, the author lets the misunderstanding continue.. making her fall even deeper into it.. although she doesnt admit it.. i wonder if this is cruelty or sympathy..
anyway reading this comic allows me to noe exactly how each person is thinking n how they feel about events n pple.. i wonder if it'd b different if i din noe them n lived in their world.. i wonder how my story n m character wld turn out to b if i successfully incorporate it into my own alteration of the story..
anyway juz a sidenote.. 16 more months to ORD.. lolx..
i've tot about drawing a My School Rumble series.. or so called.. by adding myself into the class n den from there develop the actual story with me in it as well.. n i'd haf tot about how my character wld b like.. i'd probably want my character to love eri.. n since its supposed to b self gratifying.. i'd want eri to love me in return as well.. but realli.. reading the story to 14th todae.. i'd feel that if i maintained the mainstream story for my own story n come this far wif evryone's feelings unchanged to one another.. meaning that eri wld still b in love wif harima becoz of certain events n misunderstandings n stuff.. i'd choose to talk to harima n tell him that eri realli realli loves her n i'd want him to treat eri nicely.. i dunno y i'd want that to happen.. it'd probably mean that i'd b alone.. but i juz wanted eri to get wat i feel that she deserves or mayb i want her to b happy? or mayb its juz coz its a fiction n i'd juz act all noble n stuff.. but thats juz wat i tot when i read it this morning.. after all.. harima oso did something similar at tenma's birthdae by saying that the flowers were from karasuma when they were actually from him.. if he cld do it.. i'd b realli lousy if i din.. is that supposed to b how it is?
but anyway all the talk about doing up a comic myself wears n holds me down.. its realli difficult to even imagine drawing so many frames n pictures of pple in them n they muz all look pretty nice.. i'd probably take at least 3 to 5 hours juz doing up one page.. thats not the kind of time i'd usually spend to do on something.. much less its juz an estimate.. wif my drawing capabilities it mite take up to daes to fill up a page that i'd feel is good enuff..
also its the end of the year.. so i was inspired to make a calender of next year myself n adding the school rumble characters n stuff into them.. it'd probably b called piracy if i made it into a sorta school rumble item but i guess it shld b ok if i onli kept it for myself.. this wld b a simpler project than making my own comic but its still a blank to me n i wonder if i'd realli ever start on it..
i wrote the last entry when i read til volume 7.. at that time i was still pretty torn between yakumo n eri.. bcoz i realli loved both of them very much.. n it was peculiarly coincidental that both of them liked harima.. although harima din like them in that manner but still always unwittingly do things that attracted them or similar likeness.. but upon reading it to 14th now.. i can confirm myself that i realli juz like eri.. shes such an amazing girl.. but i realli feel that there's no way for a 3rd party in the point of another guy to steal eri's heart away at this point becoz the things that she n harima have been thru together although unwillingly or mayb even unknowingly.. haf made eri feel so much about harima that even if i draw myself into the comic n forcefully make eri fall in love wif me.. it'd feel so weird n out of place that i'd tear the drawings up even if i spent a whole month doing them up.. i cannot imagine entering forcefully now.. i can onli imagine being harima to protect her.. but yet at the same time i noe strongly that harima wld nv do such a thing n thats the thing that makes me feel that eri nids someone to protect her.. currently at the end of volume 14th she still mistakes that harima likes her.. n she mistakes that harima alreadi noes that.. so i wonder when she finally realises its all juz a misunderstanding.. im realli afraid that she'd b dealt such a heavy blow.. its the kind of thing that i can imagine.. to b hit by something so tragic rite in the face.. i wonder if i'd b able to handle it too.. from the peak of happiness falling into the depths of darkness.. i tink it'd b a paradise to juz continue falling n falling n falling.. without ever reaching the ground.. that wld b the little thing that wld b comforting for losing wat wld haf been a perfect or happy ending..
school rumble makes me feel like wanting to b a student all over again.. becoz its realli carefree life.. but yet i remember clearly that i'd said b4 ' many grown ups always say that the daes of being a student is the best time of their lives.. but for me i'd definitely not say such things..' i noe y i'd want to b a student again coz its a time when one cld juz chase after the dream called 'love' n get hurt or get the dreams fulfilled without caring much about the world or anything within it.. but i oso noe y i'd said that i wldnt look back n say studying life is the best.. its coz of monetary reasons.. being a student is realli very restricted in that sense.. n also the parents restrictions oso come into play.. but for the comic itself its different.. which is y i'd want to get into that kinda world..
firstly it seems that most of the students does not nid to please their parents or to tell them anything or ask for their permission n stuff.. tsukamoto, harima, tanako, hanai, even eri.. eri onli has a butler in her house that wld probably b in any real form of contact wif her n her school life.. whereas for mikoto.. although she has parents who come into play in the story.. but its onli when they're doing up some party or celebration at her house that they appear.. otherwise they nv participate at all.. although this is probably to simplify the story.. but it realli makes school life become so much more interesting.. all the energy they haf can b spent in school.. n they cld invite anyone to their homes for a gathering or something.. it cld take effect in viewing how harima cld stay over at tsukamoto's place although it seems like tenma doesnt haf any parents but onli her sister yakumo.. n then harima stays over at mikoto's at the same time eri was there as well la.. n he stayed in the factory la.. but having a factory beside or shld i say attached the their house building? the infrastructure of their neighbourhood again plays a significant role in making a superb place for me to want to enter into their world.. evryone lives so near one another that walking around wld get u to almost anyone's home.. not to mention that their homes are like 2 storeyed.. ha.. mayb its juz coz im living in singapore that i nv experienced that kinda stuff n i want to experience it.. i've nv wanted to travel much b4.. but mayb growing up wld change that.. reading shool rumble makes me want to go to japan n c the maples in autumn.. the chilling winds but yet the warm souls in winter.. n many more.. but experiencing them as a student wld probably b the best eh.. as a high school student..
n also into the monetary limitations of a student.. the students of the story cld easily find work in shops n stores in their neighbourhood where their classmates cld juz go waltzing by evrydae n c u hard at work.. this oso means that even when ur working u cld get together wif ur classmates.. not to mention that since they dun nid to spend time wif their parents it wld mean that working is realli directly for earning money which cld b spent almost immediately without worry.. mayb these 2 points dun link but i juz think that its such a wonderful world the story has carved out.. although of coz its probably not the first comic to carve out such an environment.. or mayb japan IS indeed like that.. but its realli a nice thing in my opinion..
the onli thing that i attracts me to japan that doesnt haf much to do wif this comic is that there r trains there.. i haf nv been on a train besides the MRT n the LRT which probably doesnt realli count.. the T in those 2 stands for transit anyway.. i want to experience taking a train whereby the little rooms or corners where u sit r like.. how do u describe it? 2 seats facing each other? so its like 2 pple facing 2 pple.. n the rooms n privatized.. not such an extent of having it to urself n no one can c u inside.. but juz that if u occupied it.. its urs regardless of whether u took up all 4 spaces.. n taking such a train wif ur frens wld mean u cld talk all u want or play together on the train.. its such a wonderful experience in my imagination but i wonder if its true.. also if takign it alone.. the trains movement wld b so beautiful n juz looking out of the window wld set me to think about all sorts of things in my life.. mayb these 2 dun link to most pple.. but it realli seems like it wld b a gd place n ambience to think about all sorts of things.. while scenaries zoom past.. u can think about the past, the future etc..
anyway i dun feel like introducing the characters still so i'd juz leave it to next time again.. n i'd stop for now.. too..
firstly i'd like to say that i realli did consider about whether i'd want to write things down here or simply juz open a new notepad file n write wat i wanted to write down.. how i feel at this point of time.. but in the end i chose to write it here.. its probably coz i want pple to noe how i feel.. but yet its onli the pple who arent around me most of the time.. mainly those who wun b appearing in front of me in real life.. that wld noe of these things.. but yet i'd not noe the reason y i want others to noe.. i want response to it? i want to make myself more sociable? more connect able? i dunno.. n i guess i've not been into the main subject as yet..
basically i've been quite addicted to the comic ' school rumble '.. actually my first contact of this story was from watching the chinese dubbed anime on scv.. den i tot the characters were realli quite pretty.. or was it some other reasons.. mainly being it a school class setting.. that attracted me to want to draw them down myself.. im not particularly good at drawing or any form of art for that matter.. but i juz had this impulse of doing it.. n so i smsed my fren wp askin if he had this comic book... i guess i expected him to haf it thats y i asked him in the first place.. but i was ready to accept setback as well.. but eventually i found that he had 3 books of it.. n cld lend me 2 of them almost immediately.. i got the 2 books off from him the same evening.. that was probably a week ago.. or mayb less than that..
i started drawing or trying to draw the characters down.. conveniently i had the time n a small notebook of sorts that had lineless pages juz nice for me to do my drawing.. n went down to work on the characters.. i started pretty badly i suppose.. but slowly i managed to make my products look human n slowly after about 10 or more, i managed to come up wif one that wld probably resemble the actual drawn character by about 70%.. i hope im not overestimating but anyway i guess thats not realli the point anyway.. i wonder why i talked so much about drawing them anyway.. its not even the point i wanted to talk about.. i guess i juz wanted pple to ask me how my products look like n they wld ask to c them.. n den praise me for my work.. ha.. i guess im that kinda person.. i wonder if evryone is like that.. becoz sometimes that kinda personality makes me feel sad.. makes me pity myself.. kinda like a loser of sorts.. but yet at times i'd c some comic characters who r absolute losers but yet in some point of time they'd become useful.. even for juz one event.. i'd hope i'd b useful to pple too..
which probably brings me back to my point of writing another entry.. i guess im kinda long winded but i guess i haf the rite to do so on my so called property eh..
anyway after my craze of wanting to draw, i realised that i cldnt resist juz having read 2 of the books n chasing after the 7pm time slot to watch one chapter of the story which is onli 20 minutes.. so i went online to read the online manga of it.. luckily the online manga has available up to 200 over chapters.. n so i started reading them.. im up to chapter 84 which is volume 6 alreadi.. but i keep pulling myself back.. i dun wanna read them too quickly.. becoz i tot i'd probably wanna buy the entire comic collection n so din wanna spoil the story if i did buy it.. but i still cldnt resist n started to read one volume a day or so.. sometimes more than that..but y do i haf such a lethal attraction to this particular series? probably its providence that allowed the series to catch my attention.. the anime shown on scv is alreadi into the 2nd season.. its shown the first season b4 but i din care about it.. so y now.. mayb bcoz i've changed i dunno.. i cant realli think of any other reason.. but the thing about the series itself that attracts me is the fact that the story is that of a school classroom setting if i havent alreadi introduced it that way..
i muz emphasize that its not about being a SCHOOL.. but a CLASSROOM.. i've missed those kinda life since i was 6 mths into jc life or mayb even earlier.. having a classroom to go to.. to stay in.. thats the kind of life that wld probably make school school.. its such an amazing place but i've nv cared for it when i was in it.. i guess thats human to noe to cherish onli after losing it..
but i've come to realise that having a classroom to go to b4 school starts.. to stay in during break times or even in between lessons.. its such a wonderful feeling.. becoz everyone is there.. the entire classroom belongs to the entire class.. so the interaction is definitely there.. be it forced to do so or on one's own will..
n so y wld school rumble b much of anything to me.. its coz the classroom of the protagonists.. it belongs to such a diverse set of pple.. the variety of personalities coming together.. everyone feels differently towards each other.. but yet at the same time there r juz some pple who seem to b kind to evryone.. mayb its that kind of innocence that makes me love the classroom environment now more than ever.. mayb in reality there wun b such innocence n pure love of frenship.. thats y the fantasy realm of comics n such wld pose more of a recluse to me than the reality itself.. or it cld possibly b juz myself.. but in the comics world there r so much more possibilities.. besides the fact that fights can ensue all of a sudden n despite being beaten up badly one way or another the person gets back almost straightaway.. the fact that the characters arent bound by any real rules or laws makes almost a paradise.. or mayb its my own delusion or the fact that i was from a more famous school den a neighbourhood one that i'd found myself restricted to many things that i'd probably wld haf done if i met all these amazing pple in my class.. if i was to b in this world of school rumble.. i'd probably b harima's henchman, join the grp of 4 girls-- tenma, eri, mikoto n akira.. n lots more that i cld haf done.. i suppose theres many many reasons y i'd want to b in that world.. thats y it attracts me so.. ha..
anyway i realise that i still haf alot to talk about.. about the comic n story itself.. n juz by introducing the characters n my tots n opinions on them n the events that occur around them wld probably allow me to fill another 10 or so entries into this blog.. so i suppose a closure has its breaks as well eh.. i'l stop here for now i guess..
