Ah! My Goddess~!

Monday, October 1st, 2007

nattowara_ptLast Christmas, I found myself staring at a huge stash of Manga that was about $2 each…

The other day, I was in a similar situation… But I had to as some people to pinch me and ask if the price was really as I saw them to be.

Sure enough… It couldn’t be any clearer…

oh my goddess! manga cover“Ah! Megami-sama!” were being sold at the local bookstore at a jaw dropping $4 a piece! The original price of these here were around $20, so it was a huge bargain!

The only catch was that not all the volumes were available for purchase. I got about 10 books, ranging from volume 1 to volume 20, but really… I could hardly care less! All I ever wanted was to own one of these since they were so expensive! And Now I have 10! And they’re all in English!

I am so happy~ x3

I love how Kosuke Fujishima has evolved his style. I never realized this series has been running for the past 20 years..! No wonder the current art style is so different that the first few books. Must have been a really great success!

Maybe I should take a picture of all the books. :3 Hee~hee~~

Calvin and Hobbes

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Remember back when you were still a little kid? All the happy days when going to the playground was the best time of your life. Some of you probably had an imaginary friend to talk to and play with… That friend was the one who understood you best, always there for you, always ready to hear you out…

Good days… Great memories…

Now meet Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin is an energetic little boy with an imagination that would beat any artist in his time. He turns his stuff tiger into a real live tiger called Hobbes! As any little boy, Calvin gets into all sorts of trouble, and his adventures with Hobbes, showing you the world through the eyes of a little boy.

Cute comic series and really funny..! I think some newspapers still publish these series in the comic section. If not, they have books for you to check out. Definitely something worth looking into. ^_^

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Monday, July 30th, 2007

image I was able to finish this book some time ago. I didn’t want to write a commentary about it until after most people have read it because I don’t want to spoil everyone’s experience. xD

I really love Severus Snape now. J.K. Rowling is such a genius. She makes you hate a character so much then ends up making you love him to pieces..! I sadden at his death, and his life… I never thought anyone could ever love someone so much. T_T I was teary reading about his and Lily’s childhood days…

It’s no wonder that he was bitter towards Harry… Severus loved Lily so much and despised James… Since Harry looked so much like his father, it reminds Snape of the old days, but his love for Lily was unchanging. Maybe it’s also because Harry had his mother’s eyes… We’ll never know for sure. But we do know he loves Lily dearly, because his Patronus changed to look like Lily’s… TT___TT

Anyway, here are some things J.K. Rowling said that wasn’t in the book… I saw this in Wikipedia, and though I should share:

Rowling’s commentary on the epilogue

In an interview,[5] author J. K. Rowling gave additional information about the characters that she chose to exclude from the book.

  • The epilogue does not directly state that Ron and Hermione are married, but Rowling confirmed that indeed they are.
  • Harry and Ron are both Aurors; Harry is the department head, and Hermione is “very high up” in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
  • Luna Lovegood has become a naturalist of sorts, searching the world for odd and unique creatures.
  • At Hogwarts there is now a permanent Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher; Voldemort’s jinx on this position was broken with his death. There is also an unknown Headmaster, as Professor McGonagall was too old to assume the position permanently. Rowling did not identify either the Headmaster or the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.

neville-trevor And I wanted Professor McGonagall to be the headmistress. T_T But I didn’t get that wish to come true… My only happiness is that Harry ended up with Ginny, and finally had a family…

Oh well… in other related news, It’s Neville Longbottom’s Birthday today..! =D And, Shadow Cat introduced me Potter Puffs, and I thought I’d share a really cute picture of Neville here…

He looks so satisfied with a frog on his head… ;3
