Seeing a plane while on a plane

It was my first time to see a plane flying through the clouds last saturday while I was on my flight back to Cebu from Manila. The plane was really fast compared of course when you see a plane while on the ground.

I'm expecting to receive a letter for the next few weeks for something that will change a part of my career. I hope I can receive it soon.

Manga #1: Touch



Synopsis from Baka-Updates Manga:

Touch is a shounen story about two twin brothers, a pretty girl next door, and that good old pastime of baseball. The manga was written by one of the most well known manga-ka out there, Adachi Mitsuru in the early 80's (1981-1986). He's a wonderful writer who tends to write stories that are related to baseball and Koshien, the stadium where the All High School Baseball Tournament is held.


This is one of the best sports mangas that I'm reading because of the subtle comedies that really makes me laugh. The story is quite realistic compared to some sports manga like Prince of Tennis (which I will feature next time). This is also one sports manga that has brought me to tears because of one event that happened in the story.

I also like the love triangle story that evolves between the twins and their childhood girl friend. It is filled with thrilling moments that will excite every romantic reader ^_^. I highly recommend this to all manga readers who like baseball, high school baseball in particular, and love stories.


This manga is 26 volumes long. It is scanlated by Adachi-Manga group currently at vol. 22 chap. 215. Chap. 216 is expected to be released this week (hopefully ^_^).


Next manga: Prince of Tennis

Lessons of The Heart
=====================
Love is not the latest ballad on the radio It is the song of a lifetime
Love is not the rock on the finger of the girl you plan to marry It is the size of the boulder you move to repair the marriage
Love is not the fairy tale that ends with happy ever after It is the hand that wipes away the tears
Love is not in the spotlight
It is waiting in the shadows
Love is not winning the argument
It is listening with an open heart
Love is not flowers or candy
It is truth and honesty
Love is not the ease of the quest
It is the commitment to the relationship
Love is not expensive restaurants
It is the sacrifice made to feed a child
Love is not the dream come true
It is chasing nightmares away
Love is not the success of money
It is the failure to find fault
Love is not sweet nothings whispered in the ear It is accepting the thoughts of others
Love is not the perfect picture
It is the flaw that makes us who we are.

a nerve-wracking internet connection

our internet connection here in the office is really awful for this past one and a half week. i hope the connection will get better for the rest of the week.

anyway, I'll posting reviews of the mangas I've been reading and have completely read. if you're a manga/anime fan, be sure to check it out.

about TOCA Race Driver 3, I still can't make a decent review up to this point because i wanted to unlock most if not all the championships/cups in the game. a racing wheel is a recommended controller for this game, but a gamepad (which is what I'm using) will do just fine for most of the cars, but will give you a lot of trouble for handling other cars.

that's all for now.. ^_^
