A Late Christmas Present

Naruto Chapter 430 is out!! The latest chapter is love. <3

Naruto is just freaking awesome! And i told you he really looked cool in that coat. His awesomeness far exceeds Sasuke, wherever the hell he is now (hear that, Sasu-princess? *smirk*). I don't know about everyone else, but i think Naruto's sage mode makes him really hot. As in sizzling hot. He's so hot, he's making steam look cool. Yeah, he's that hot. XD


On a more serious note, aside from Naruto's awesomeness level, there are a couple of things i wanted to point out in the manga. First things first, i think Kakashi's still alive (oh, yeah!). I mean, those slug-thingies that Tsunade summoned wouldn't bother healing/protecting dead people 'cause they're already dead, right? So if one of those slug-thingies is hovering near Kakashi-love, then there's a high chance that he's still alive. 


Another thing that bothers me is that it looked like Konoha's been totally wiped out. What happened to the people, then? Did they manage to escape and hide in the Hokage mountain like they did before (in the anime, i mean)? If that were the case, chances are they are still alive, seeing that the Hokage mountain is the only thing left in Konoha. But in any other case, i'd say they're all goners. The ninjas barely survived the explosion, what more can the civilians possibly do to escape that? 

And what the hell happened to Konohamaru? The poor kid is too awesome to be dead. He only had a couple of frames then they decide to kill him off. That's just not fair. They haven't even explained how Konohamaru learned the Rasengan. I assume he learned the Kage Bunshin while training with Naruto to improve their Oroike no Jutsu, but there wasn't a bit of hint in the manga that he's trying to learn the Rasengan, too.

There's a lot of cliffhangers. I can't wait for the next chapter. Hope there's a new one coming out this week. I can't sit still on my chair anymore. Haha. 'til the next chapter, then. XD

An Idiot's Guide to Hiking

We walked/jogged/hiked at Lignon Hills this morning due to my parents insistence. I didn't want to go. It was cold and the bed was warm. I wanted to stay under the sheets. But i realized i'd be leaving again soon so why not humor them and join. It wouldn't even take us an hour to reach the top of that hill and back down. We'd be home in no time. And my bed would prolly be still warm by then.

And now i write this Idiot's Guide to Hiking, for people who wanted to make sure they didn't pass out even before reaching the top of a small hill.

[1] Get some sleep.

When i say sleep, i mean the night before. Not when you're actually jogging up the hill. And make sure to be at bed before three AM and get more than three hours of sleep. Save yourself the trouble of rolling down that steep part off the hill because you, oh, right, slept while walking. Nice going, genius.

[2] Eat a light breakfast.

A light meal consists of more than half a toast and a glass of water. Try cereal. You might have better chances of making it halfway through your hike.

[3] Bring water. Embrace it. Treasure it.

You are not in a desert. Take advantage of any water you can find and bring it along with you, you lazy ass. You can't expect people to donate droplets of water just because you're dehydrated and you forgot (intentionally left) your water bottle in the car. At the parking lot. At the bottom of the hill.

[4] Walk.

If you're not an athlete, walk. Don't hop. Skip. Jog. Run. Sprint. Just walk. Do not, i repeat, do not challenge a physically fit basketball-loving person to a jog race, even if said person is your younger brother. Need you be reminded that there are no benches for your royal ass to rest on. Said benches are waiting for you at the top of the hill, which, you clearly are not going to reach if you ignore this life-saving guide.

[5] Zigzagging is not - NEVER - a good sign.

Zigzagging can only mean two things: you've just consumed a lifetime-worth of alcoholic beverage or your brain is getting fuzzy due to lack of oxygen (or from drinking too much). When caught yourself in such situation, it is advised to stay at the side, take a couple of deep breaths, and sit for a while. Well, you can sit on the ground if you want since there are no available couches for you. But if you have a fetish for rolling down a hill like Jack and Jill, you can continue zigzagging your way up.

[6] Reached the top of the hill, eh?

Go on and see your checklist. Top of the hill? Check. Benches? Check. Awesome view? Check. Headache? Check. Difficulty in breathing? Check. Foggy eyesight? Check. Slipping consciousness? Double check

Water? Nu-duh. Brother? Gone. Sister? Gone. Parents? Still on their way up

Congratulations, genius. Way to go. *confetti* It won't be a matter of time before you find your way back to the foot of the hill. Rolling down, of course. You just need to wait a couple of minutes before you pass out, fall down your pretty bench, and roll all the way down. Don't worry, you're still going to meet your parents who are still on their way up. And make sure to excuse yourself to the joggers who need to make way for you.


'til the next hiking trip. Enjoy.

Random Fanfiction

00.) Randomly list twelve of your favourite Naruto characters:

1. Kakashi
2. Naruto
3. Sasuke
4. Sai
5. Gaara
6. Shikamaru
7. Jiraiya
8. Itachi
9. Tsunade
10. Sakura
11. Kiba
12. Neji

01.) Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fanfic before?

Shika/Kiba...? no. Shikamaru's MINE.

02.) Do you think Four is hot? How hot?

Sai. Well, sort of. He looks a bit like Sasuke, so yeah. But he's skinny. And pale. >:)

03.) What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?


Neji/Itachi

OMGWTFBBQ! That's just... ugh. no. Not possible. Never. Itachi never bottoms, anyway. >:)

But if it did happen, Sasuke doesn't have to worry about reviving his clan anymore. XD

04.) Do you recall any fics about Nine? Can you recommend any?

None that i know of... I don't really read Tsunade-centric fics. Mostly narusasu/sasunaru and other crack fics.

05.) Would Two and Six make a good couple?

Naruto/Shikamaru...

I would not humor that with an answer.

I've changed my mind. Maybe, they do. I remember this episode where Shika was saying that he doesn't want to worry about Ino and Chouji. And Naruto. Ino and Chouji, i understand -- they're from the same team. But Naruto? This must be some kind of fanservice or something.

Okay, i'm shutting up. Sasuke's gonna kill me.

06.) Five/Nine or Five/Ten?

Gaara/Tsunade or Gaara/Sakura

Does he really have a choice? Sakura's like a miniature Tsunade! -.-"

Honestly, i'd much prefer Gaara with Neji. But for this one, i'd say Gaara/Sakura. Unless Gaara prefers bigger... uhh... assets. XD

07.) What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?

If Jiraiya walked in on Naruto and Neji having sex... he'd probably start writing gay porn soon. Or maybe he has started already. -.-"

Neji should be thankful it wasn't Sasuke who walked in on them. As for Naruto... he's got a lot of explaining to do.

08.) Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fanfic.

Sasuke/Sakura. Wow, what a rare pairing. -.-"

Sasuke is still in the process of moving on after his break-up with his ex-fiancee Sakura. Then he meets this annoying blonde who not only got into his nerve, but possibly into his heart as well. Rawr.

Oh. I was supposed to write a summary for a Sasu/Saku fic? But it's stated there that he and Sakura were engaged before. That has got to count. Besides, this may be the best summary i've ever written (prolly make a story about it, even) and there's no way i'm making it a sasu/saku one. >:)

09.) Is there any such thing as a One/Eight fluff fanfic?

Kakashi/Itachi.

i've always wanted to read a fic about them but i never got around to doing it. KakaIta fluff? well, it's possible. heck, i even feel like writing one right now. (muses, behave!)

10.) Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve Hurt/Comfort fic.

Jiraiya/Neji...

This is just so... wrong. >"It's All Wrong But It's All Right"...? kyaaa. i know, it's a title of a song but... i don't know... ><

11.) What kind of plot would you use if you wanted Four to de-flower One?


Sai/Kakashi.

There is NO freaking way this is going to happen. Not even in fanfictions. Not when i'm around! Kakashi is mine, too. Sai, that's just not fair. T_T

12.) Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?

Jiraiya slash? with whom? Orochi-chan? i don't even want to know... *shudder*

13.) Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?

Sasuke? well, yeah. apparently, they're all normal people, unlike me.

14.) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?

Hmm. I don't know... Kiba is fun. If i were born a good artist, i would have loved to draw him.

15.) Would anyone you know write Two/Four/Five?

Naruto/Sai/Gaara.

I don't think so... But boy, will Sasuke be pissed at that. >:)

16.) What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?

"Shannaro!!"

hahaha. she always says that. lol.

17.) If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, what song would you choose?

Itachi. he's one of my top faves. "The Hardest Thing" by 98 Degrees. hey! making sasuke believe all that crap must have been hard on him. T_T

18.) If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warning be?

Kakashi/Shikamaru/Neji

Warning(s): Alcohol. Illegal use of sharingan and byakugan. More alcohol.

19.) What might be a good pick-up line for Ten to use on Two?

Sakura/Naruto

Sakura: Have you tried that new ramen flavor?

Naruto: There's a new flavor?!

Sakura: Yeah. I just ate it. Wanna taste me instead?

Rawr. No way in hell. Lol.

20.) When was the last time you read a fic about Five?

Gaara? i... can't remember. Lol. Sometime this week, i guess. He's almost always just a third party in a sasunaru fic. And i've been reading Harry Potter fics recently so... last i've read about him must've been a couple of days ago already.

21.) What is Six's super-secret kink?

Shikamaru...

he's got this obsession with shogi pieces... Gaaaah!! Shikamaru-sama! i'm shutting up!

22.) Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?

Kiba/Tsunade

maybe. if he had just finished drinking enough sake to last him a lifetime, yes.

23.) If Three and Seven got together, who would top?

Sasuke/Jiraiya.

Gah. This is too much for my brain to handle. O.o;;;;;;;;;

Not like there's even the slightest chance of getting together, but since i love tormenting sasu-chan, i'd say Jiraiya would top. *evil laugh*

24.) "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.

"Kakashi and Tsunade are in a happy relationship until Tsunade suddenly runs off with Sai. Kakashi, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Kiba and a brief unhappy affair with Neji, then follows the wise advice of Gaara and finds true love with Sasuke."

I bet Gaara told Kakashi to "go shag another ice prince. Neji's mine."

yeah, something like that. XD

Title? Looking for Love With the Wrong Eye (sharingan, people? get it? nvm...)

I don't think anyone would read, let alone write, a messed-up fic like that... unless it's an extremely crack fic.

25.) How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?

Jiraiya/Itachi...

broken-hearted. Itachi... you were meant to be mine.

Naruto Blues

Mood:
I am so disappointed with the recent episode of  Naruto Shippuuden (ep90). It was supposed to be the episode wherein Konohomaru did the yaoi version of the oroike no jutsu. And they didn't show it in the anime! Pfft. What a bummer. And i was really looking forward to it. Not that i like sasuke/sai or anything -- that's just... gross. *shudder* but still... that would have made a great blooper. for the fic i'm writing, i mean. sigh. it's really not fair. 

okay, so i admit that it would have been a whole new level of yaoi in Naruto. sure, the narusasu "accidental" *cough*yeah,right*cough* kissing scene before was funny but maybe they were thinking that if they include the sasuke/sai scene in the anime, most of the audience would be disappointed. but c'mon! it's like fangirls vs other naruto supporters. it wouldn't have been that bad. we rarely get some fanservice anymore. just imagine fics turned into anime. damn, it would have made a great christmas gift to us fangirls. gah. T_T

and the recent manga chapter hasn't even come out yet. i've been waiting for it the whole day. kept on checking onemanga for updates every now and then but still nothing. i know christmas is a holiday for all of us but... gah, i want my naruto manga. but i still have to wait another week for it to be released. T_T
i've read some spoilers already. they said Naruto's finally coming back to the village. And there's this picture, too. He really, really, really looked cool in it. He was wearing this robe/cape thingy and standing there in all his awesomeness.  

Naruto! Ditch Sasuke and marry me, already~!! X3

ahem. i'm done ranting. i'm looking forward next week for the next chapter update and episode. honestly, i'm having a naruto overload right now. i've written, what, three, four fics already. and i'm still writing one right now. and editing the other two. gawds, someday, naruto will be the death of me. seriously. 

I need to get a life. Rawr.

Mr. Cold Virus Strikes Again

Dear Mr. Cold Virus,


I have written to humbly ask of you to please, please, leave me alone.
I know i haven't been in touch with you since who-knows-when but it doesn't mean that i missed you so.  

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but i just want my peaceful life back. You know, without the mountains of tissue papers for the runny nose, the annoying sound of coughing every now and then, and the paranoia of being suffocated. I still quite enjoy breathing through my nose, thank you.

So, point is, can you go bother someone else 'cause i really can't afford to entertain you right now with all the long tests and papers due next week.

I guess i'll see you around. Although i really hope we wouldn't meet again so soon. And oh, please tell Mr. Fever to not bother me, too.

Thanks a lot. I'm really looking forward to getting rid of you.


yours truly,

bubbles

Winter Wonderland

Mood: 



I uploaded another fic after years! Woot~.

And i updated my profile, too. Muahaha.

Well... i'm not particularly satisfied with how i've written it, but considering how i haven't written in months, i guess it was okay. Hopefully.

I was about to rant about something but i'm off to bed for now. Maybe i'll rant about it in another entry. XD

Toodles.
