Why U No Like Comics ? !

Why......

This afternoon before I had lunch with my friends, we went to the bookstore as we just accepted BB1M a few days ago. As I go through the racks of books, I overheard a loud Malay Mom in jogging suit who kept telling her son not to buy comics, in English.

“No comics. It’s not good for you. You can’t learn anything from comics!”.

She kept repeating those dialogues over and over again – which made me a little bit upset about her being so paranoid about graphic novels. It is sad to know there are still parents out there with that kind of attitude. She looks like the educated type of people but when she did the stereotyping, I swear I could sense the flame’s bursting in my heart.

I’m not saying all comics are beneficial, on the other hand keep in mind; not all of them are good-for-nothings. The lady’s son once took a comic from PTS publication which is still in “good comic” category but again, she said no, a big bold NO. For your information, PTS which owns Komik-M has publishes a lot of good quality comics, full with moral values and correct uses of Malay language, include motivations and study tips. In Malaysia we also got Ana Muslim – their comics are really educational for every little child out there. Gempakstarz is way more popular but it doesn't really brings good influences but there are still comics which tell about science and stuffs. There are various kinds of comics, just take a look for a while! When the mom scolded her son, she even held an Ana Muslim’s comic in her hand, and she didn’t realize it.

When I told Mom on this matter, Mom said maybe the comics during the days of the boy’s mother were awful in terms of educating the kids. And maybe she really didn’t notice the development of Malaysian comic industry. Nevertheless I find it hard to believe, well, to begin with; didn’t Dato’ Lat created the well-known and legendary Kampung Boy years before I was even born? But then again I’m not really sure, I don’t live in her childhood, so, maybe Mom’s right.

I am a proud comic reader; I am truly a big fan. From local to other countries’ comics – I read them all. I started to read one when I was still in elementary school which is exactly the same with her son. I got good grades. Hobbies and interests didn’t stop me from studying. In fact, comics helped me to study better. Mom had never prohibited me from reading comics, she read them with me.

You see, sometimes you just need to look from a different perspective. Don’t simply build walls onto something unnecessary; something that’s actually not as bad as you think it is.

TV Trends

During the previous semester break, my big sister came home and kept chit chatting about this funny reality TV show and a singing award or something like that which me and Mom don’t quite understand – we didn’t watch them! Well, Mom did have seen one of the shows but not entirely (she let the cat watched it and she continued her daily home-cleaning job).

In Malaysia, TV obsession is almost as huge as smart phones addiction. Most families here love to have more choices of channels on their television screen – that’s why ASTRO is well-recognized by everyone. However my family is not into television so much, so Mom has never installed ASTRO in our home. Since I was a kid, we as a family only watch TV shows during certain times and on certain channels. Mom only watches TV when she has nothing to do which is really rare, and when there’s a good TV show on air, while Daddy simply watches football matches and some other sports. My sis…she’s unpredictable. She can watch just about anything. I love to watch anime – that has been dubbed into Malay and Chinese (when I was younger), English shows and superheroes cartoons, and sometimes channels that aired Japanese TV series.

Most of my schoolmates didn’t believe me when I told them we have no ASTRO set at home; even the teachers thought I was making jokes. Until now, it’s still weird for my friends to know I’m not an ASTRO customer. Mom taught us to read more; I think it’s normal when you have an excellent educator as your mother. We are not prohibited from watching TV but there’s a limit. 

As we grow up we know how to choose what we want to watch wisely. When my friends talk about a Malay drama series inspired from some POP genre novels, I just go “what?” because obviously I don’t watch that kind of TV show. I don’t need to watch to know the ending. Most Malay movies and TV series aren’t watch-worthy, no offense. I’m not saying all of them but MOST of them. 

I am indeed picky on what I should read and watch as the saying goes; the things you love (hobbies and interests) define the way you think. 

P/s: Actually I just happened to watch Futurama animation and one of the episodes suddenly lighten up my thinking bulb to write about this story. I really like some of the words the characters are saying and I quoted these for you (and again, no offense): 

“But that’s not why people watch TV ! Clever things make people feel stupid, & unexpected things make them feel scared. 

See? TV audience don’t want anything original. They wanna see the same thing they’ve seen thousands times before. “

Hahaa, well said. See you in the next post!

The Ugly Truth of Today's Youth

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un

Just a few weeks ago Malaysian citizens were being shocked by the news regarding to the decease of Allahyarham Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat. Mom was the first one to tell me on that very night, as her friends called her in tears. It was devastating for us – we adore him too much. We never have the chance to see him and now he’s gone, back to where he belongs, to the Creator. Mom recited yaasin on that night and later after Subuh prayer I decided to recite one too; for our great leader who has ended his journey and jihad in this temporary world. It is a sad sad day for almost all Malaysians except for some of my friends who I might say quiet ignorant when it comes to serious issues. It’s not that I want to reveal their weaknesses but this is the ugly truth of nowadays youth.

Most of my classmates from secondary school and Diploma are very open-minded on sharing thoughts about politics, current issues and religions. We read and do quite good research as we debated each other’s opinions. And I thought Bachelor degree should be more fun! Man, I was wrong. Almost everyone is unaware of anything. They only care about assignments, TV shows, internet, celebrities, gadgets and “please, no politics talk but we support government” kind of attitude. And they say the F words a lot. I once thought university is full of intelligent people!

Guys, we hold the handbook to guide the future generations. How come you know Maharaja Lawak’s winner but never heard of Ahmad Ammar? You talk about iPhone 6 but ignore MH17? I don’t want to live in this planet anymore. Seriously. When I told a friend about TGNA’s death, she just replied that she wanted to go out to watch movie to ease her boredom. She hates politics and I knew about it but this is not politic talks; we just lost one of a kind religious leader. Every typical Muslims would be terribly sad to know this news, even the non-Muslims.

Youths nowadays need to wake up from their awfully long sleep and open the window to understand the real world, witness every single thing that is currently happening. We are not little children anymore. The world is not as dirty as you expected; took off your glasses and clean the dirt on it. If needed, remove the lenses too and change them with a new one – which enables you to see from different angles.

The Horror of MSG ~

Ajinomoto .  It is a very well-known name in our society. Ajinomoto is a food flavour enhancer’s brand found in almost all retail stores and supermarkets, including the 7 Eleven.

Although Opah and all my female relatives (the family’s Chefs) are always adopting the hereditary of using Ajinomoto in their cooking, me and Mom on the other hand; forbid ourselves from mixing the ‘poison’ into our foods. Our cuisine is absolutely original in term of its taste no matter how good or bad it is . Mom really concerns about our health, not to mention she is still in the treatment of fighting cancer; she doesn’t want us to get caught by the same disease.

There was my little cousin ( who also being taught to add Ajinomoto into the ingredient lists since she was a child ) felt initially weird when I refused to use the white powder each time I did the cooking activities - but there are times when I get confused and mistakenly took Ajinomoto jar which I thought was the  fine salt! The teeny-tiny girl once proposed these questions to me, "Is Ajinomoto harmful for us? If it is; what are the dangers anyway? " . Due to the absence of the Internet in Mom’s hometown to be Googled, I had to do the job of explaining the threats of Ajinomoto to her .

Ajinomoto or Mono Sodium Gulamate (MSG ) is often considered important by the same level as onion , pepper and salt anddd also; it is believed to be the main element of establishing a perfect cuisine by most Malaysian housewives . There are numerous scientific studies conducted by experts around the world referring to the fact that MSG has a great negative impact on human health. Did you know that the use of MSG has been criticized by the National Cancer Association of Japan, the birthplace of Ajinomoto itself?

October 25, 1983; a study was conducted on 84 rats; which were given two types of MSG. After 16 months , the results showed that those rats had suffered the signs of tumours in the lung , small and large intestine, underneath the skin , stomach and brain . It went the same with the University of Washington’s result in their research in early 1968, indicated that MSG able to affect the brain and nerves.

This fact is proven again by itself as in the same year , a disease called " Chinese Restaurant Syndrome " appeared. It was discovered by Dr . RHM Kwok from USA who perform a research on the customers of a Chinese food restaurant; they were experiencing numbness in the neck , all the way down to the arm and then their back. They also suffering from weaken body parts and coronary pulses which happened every 15 to 20 minutes . All these symptoms were being experienced by them after having a Chinese meal , and the cause is due to the overused of MSG. This study was supported by the Dr . Baker and Allen from Royal North Shore Hospital , Sydney , when their two patients were being  attacked by a chronic asthma for 12 hours after enjoying Chinese cuisine .

Then again, the MSG is also involving itself into the life of little children . The widely-use in snacks and baby foods has exposed the kids to danger . According to Dr . Olney, subtle attack of the MSG against a normal infant’s brain may not be detected , but it still has adverse effects on the baby after he/she reached maturity. Additionally, these effects also hinder the ability of the kids to receive information through education.

Researches that have been conducted by the Consumers Association of Penang ( at last, the Malaysian representative finally appeared on the lists of these studies) on 100 families who were being found ( 73 of them ) have been using MSG in their daily meal , while 19 of the 21 families gave MSG to their children under 6 years of age . This shows that our society as a whole has been using MSG in their lifetime. Don’t forget to include those who run the restaurant and stall , as well as canned and junk foods , including Maggi which undeniably became a regular menu for university students like me . That means, without even realizing it , our society is actually very vulnerable to the dangers of MSG.

It is better for us to avoid the use of MSG in preparing our foods , and replace it with natural seasonings . Housewives and restaurant owners should not have to worry about the quality of the taste , as there are different kinds of herbs and spices  that can covered it up and not harmful at all . You do realized that the TV stations never aired cooking shows with their chefs adding MSG in their recipes , right?

"New Parents + Facebook" Phenomenon

This one is entirely not mine , I'm just sharing it with you . It came from the site www.parentdish.co.uk , you can logged on to the site for more interesting stuff and information. Have an enjoyable reading time ~ !

Why do parents have to share EVERYTHING their children do on Facebook?

By Carrie Dunn

As my friends have started to settle down and have children , I have noticed that people simply don't understand basic good manners .

Well , when I say "people" , I mean "parents" .

I would argue , based on my own experience, that once people become parents , they lose all the knowledge of online etiquette they once had . The popular American website STFUParents ( short for Shut the . . . yes , well ) has daily updates from Facebook walls in which parents make inappropriate comments and share too much information , particularly about their child's bowel movements .

You needn't feel superior , though , and think this is a purely American phenomenon . It happens all the time in the UK as well .

My friend Helen, eight months pregnant , noted that she was tired after a busy day at work - one of her parent friends gleefully commented that she should get used to being tired because once the baby arrives she'll never get a good night's sleep again .

Then my friend Georgina , mum to a four-month-old , posted her little boy's weight at his latest health check - one of her parent friends immediately wanted to know what on earth she was feeding him because clearly he was too heavy .

These impolite commenters are the sorts of parents who post pictures of their precious child's "nappy explosions" ( why would you want to memorialise these incidents on the internet ? Wouldn't it be better for all of you just to clear it up and forget about it very quickly ? ) , and catalogue all the minutiae of their darling baby's day .

Here's a newsflash . Babies are really quite dull. If something of genuine interest happens – something properly funny , or entertaining, or unusual – by all means , put it as your status . However , please be warned. Your baby gurgling , your baby shuffling around the floor , your baby sleeping , your baby eating food – this is NOT INTERESTING to anyone except you and your immediate family . As for me and the other 300 of your Facebook friends , we're yawning with the tedium of it all and considering blocking you from our news feeds .

Before you tell me I'm a child-hating killjoy , let me refer you to my friend Julia . "I've got a friend whose children I know better than my own nieces and nephews thanks to her incessant updates , including videos of them DOING NOTHING ," she rages . "Everything they say is apparently hilarious . I have a few friends whose updates make me silently scream , 'I don't care !' but she is one of the worst . Your children had their jabs , did they? I DON'T GIVE A FLYING ONE !"

My friend Chris is bored by one of his Facebook friends , who's newly pregnant and keeping everyone updated with every minute of it . "She's been telling us the exact date she finds out the sex of her baby , posting updates and counting down," he snarls ." And then , at the end of the countdown, she posted this : 'Sorry , guys , baby was a wriggler and keeping legs firmly crossed . Couldn't get a clear view so having another scan tomorrow at 10.30am . Keep fingers crossed !'"

What Chris's friend has failed to realise is that though we like you and are happy that you are realising your dream of parenthood and wish for nothing but health and happiness for your new baby , you are the only one who is really excited about all the details of your child's day , in utero and post-birth . The rest of us will just react with an "Oh, that's lovely !" because it's what politeness dictates - not because we hate children , but because it's just not that enthralling if you're not personally closely involved .

However , what I hate more than reading about your child's projectile vomiting is when you comment on photos of me with my nephew or my friends' babies and tell me it "suits" me , or it'll be my "turn" next .

Do I comment on photos of your child and tell you it won't be long until you can get back to work , or that it's a shame you had to sacrifice your career in favour of bringing up your baby ? No , I don't, it would be terribly thoughtless and rude . So why does being a parent give you carte blanche to do that in reverse ?

Is this the classic "mummy brain" kicking into action , where parents' minds shrink and all they can think about is their baby , no matter how out-of-place their comments ? Is this why parents decide to replace their Facebook profile pictures of themselves with pictures of their child ?

Here's a thought for you , infant-obsessed parents . Your Facebook is YOUR Facebook . We're friends with you there because we like you . Yes , your child is a big part of your life – but not your whole life . Keep your face as your profile picture , and post about things that you've done and thought and seen , not just the amazing occurrence of your child having a runny nose .

If those rules don't work for you , perhaps you need to take a 10-year hiatus from the internet and go back to social networking once your genius child can properly supervise you .

I Am A Muslim And Proud Of It !

* I'm just sharing this & it's entirely not mine .

I went to the mall , and a little girl called me a terrorist . 

My name is Ela . I am seventeen years old . I am not Muslim , but my friend told me about her friend being discriminated against for wearing a hijab . So I decided to see the discrimination firsthand to get a better understanding of what Muslim women go through . 

My friend and I pinned scarves around our heads , and then we went to the mall . Normally , vendors try to get us to buy things and ask us to sample a snack . Clerks usually ask us if we need help , tell us about sales , and smile at us . Not today . People , including vendors , clerks , and other shoppers , wouldn’t look at us . They didn’t talk to us . They acted like we didn’t exist . They didn’t want to be caught staring at us , so they didn’t look at all . 

And then , in one store , a girl ( who looked about four years old ) asked her mom if my friend and I were terrorists . She wasn’t trying to be mean or anything . I don’t even think she could have grasped the idea of prejudice . However , her mother’s response is one I can never forgive or forget . The mother hushed her child , glared at me , and then took her daughter by the hand and led her out of the store . 

All that because I put a scarf on my head . Just like that , a mother taught her little girl that being Muslim was evil . It didn’t matter that I was a nice person . All that mattered was that I looked different . That little girl may grow up and teach her children the same thing . 

This experiment gave me a huge wakeup call . It lasted for only a few hours , so I can’t even begin to imagine how much prejudice Muslim girls go through every day . It reminded me of something that many people know but rarely remember : the women in hijabs are people , just like all those women out there who aren’t Muslim . 

People , please help me spread this message . Treat Muslims , Jews , Christians , Buddhists , Hindus , Pagans , Taoists , etc . , exactly the way you want to be treated , regardless of what they’re wearing or not wearing , no exceptions . Reblog this . Tell your friends . I don’t know that the world will ever totally wipe out prejudice , but we can try , one blog at a time .

‘Early-Marriage’ again?!

The 12 years old bride

What ?! This topic for the 2^nd time ?! Well, not to worry dear readers . It’s not like I’m going to tell you the same story twice . I just want to share with you concerning to the hottest issue nowadays ; I bet some of you already knew about . . . the 12 years old girl who was married to . . . hmm how old is the groom again ?

So , 12 years old . . . I have a little cousin who’s 12 . Yeah, I did say ‘little’ because she’s a little girl , a cute one but she’s more mature than any other school kids today . You would know what I meant if you have a chat with her . I could conclude that she’s like a 50 year old grandma trapped in a petite kid’s body . By looking at her , I wondered and still wondering how the hell someone at her age could get married happily – you should see the wedding photo , the girl was smiling like a whale .

As for me , when I was at that age I did have a love story ( Please don’t laugh , it’s true and I feel so damn embarrassed ) . But it’s not what you think it is . It’s just ; I had an admirer . He kept bugging me and told the others that he likes me . That’s just freaking stupid . We were 12 , man ! I didn’t expect this kinda thing’s coming . What I actually cared about at that time were only UPSR and playing . If you’re the same age as me , did you remembered the fun games such as cop tiang , teng teng  , polis sentri and doktor-doktor ( it’s actually a role-playing game , other kids usually play ‘emak-emak’ but we prefer this one ) . See ? 12 is the number of innocent children spending times on outdoor activities . What on earth has happened to the kids’ world ? The shocking news has ruined my childhood memories .

But then after I read more articles on the topic of the 12 year old marriage ; I came to understand a little bit . She caused a problem , what can I say more about these days major problem ; girls running away from home with boyfriends . Before this outrageous case, there was a school girl’s wedding on the news but she’s in between 14 to 15 as I remembered . Young teenage marriage is quite rare in Malaysia and some other countries . Of course , except for at the age of our grandmas’ before Merdeka .

For the kids out there , please enjoy your life as a kid . I do have a friend who’s having love affair with my senior when we were in primary school . As an ending , the boy left my friend crying on her school desk with broken heart . Me and the other kids were laughing at her secretly , yeah I know it’s mean but once again ; we were only a kid . And I tell you , nothing’s funnier than this love story . And nothing’s good came from it . 

Would You Like To Share?

Drinks , cakes , or ice-cream ; do you usually eat these foods together with your friends and family? I mean by sharing the same spoon and cup . I bet most of you did. But it goes different with me .

I’m the youngest in my family and I have only one sister ; which means when each of us wanted something, we would get it separately . We didn’t regularly share our drinks or foods except for snacks like chips . I was the worst ; I can’t even touch my ice-cream if someone all of a sudden took a bite from it .

As we both grew up , my sister had no problems doing the food sharing things but not for me . I was having a hard time just to get rid of my friends from constantly trying to ‘steal’ my foods and drink . Some of them already knew I couldn’t bear anyone take a sip from my drink or want to taste foods using my spoon . 50% would leave me alone and the rest were the evil . On purpose , they would suddenly drink my coke and ‘taste’ the ice-cream from my hand so that I would give it to them eternally , for free .

During Biology class in the year of 2008 , one of my classmates kept drinking from my other classmate’s bottle and after that she gave it to the next girl – I was in girls’ school . It’s like what they called ‘sharing is caring’. Then the Biology teacher , Mr Ravi made a gross look . He did agree with me that sharing drink is disgusting and the bacteria from our saliva will transfer from one to another person . He also added , (it’s just a joke , don’t take it personally) “If your friend has HIV you’ll be dead soon . For God’s sake go buy your own bottle of mineral water la”. My friend patted me on the back and said loudly , “She’s with you, Sir! She didn’t like to ‘share-share’ too!” followed by the laughs from the whole class .

When I entered campus life , I was a little worried . I was afraid if others thought I’m annoying or stingy . It is because at university , I didn’t get into the same one as my best friend was and I didn’t recognize anyone . And they didn’t know the strange side of me . So I tried to study a little bit about other people’s way of living .

However , nowadays I could use to this ‘share’ thing . Well not fully but at least I’m able to drink and eat from the same cup and spoon with my mom and a few people close to me . But still , I don’t truly recover from ‘sharing’ allergy . 

Shisha - Is It Safe For Our Health?

Shisha

Whew~...it's been quite a long time since I stop updating this blog. I was thinking to post something interesting so I always bring my phone along with me wherever I go, and saved all the ideas in the phone's notes application.

A few weeks ago when I was having dinner with my parents at a restaurant, I kept looking at some teenagers; they only ordered Shisha instead of other tasty foods.

So, what is Shisha? Shisha refers to the flavoured tobacco used in the smoking process using a hookah (commonly known as hubble bubble and narghile). It is believed to have originated in Turkey over 500 years ago while others claim it came from Syria and India. 

The tobacco is soaked in fruits shavings such as apples and strawberries. A hookah consists of a base, pipe, bowl and hose or a mouthpiece. Tobacco is placed in the bowl, which is at the top of the pipe structure. An aluminium foil covers the bowl and small charcoal pieces are then placed on the foil, which is punctured using a pin to gently heat the tobacco. When smoked using the hose, smooth, sweet-smelling vapour is filtered through the base containing water. It also comes in floral flavours such as coconut, vanilla and rose. (Source: The Star)

I was thinking, is Shisha harmful; I mean for our health? Some people I know said it's safe but actually medical experts say otherwise as tobacco product in any form contains nicotine and nicotine is addictive. Tobacco products are dangerous as it contains chemicals which are toxic and carcinogenic. The common belief is that smoke is filtered by the water when in actual fact, nicotine is not water-soluble. The water filter is a gimmick hence the smoke is inhaled by a smoker.

Reuters reported last week that the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that a single session of smoking Shisha yields a nicotine intake equivalent to more than one pack of cigarettes.

It is also reported that Shisha smoke retained all the carcinogens of cigarette smoke while adding more carbon monoxide and a separate set of carcinogens from the use of burning coals to keep the nicotine flowing, coupled with the risk of infection with tuberculosis or hepatitis from shared mouthpieces. 

Now, are you dare to order a Shisha for dinner or as a snack? I hope your answer is a 'no'. And also, the smells of Shisha smoke totally doesn't pleased me, the same goes to cigaratte too. Together; say NO to both cigarette and Shisha for a healthier life style \(^0^)/

Toilet Bowl Restaurant

Malacca franchise

Have you ever thought about enjoying your lovely breakfast or dinner in the toilet? I bet your answer must be sounded like this; "Ewww" or "Gross" or any other ultimate-disgusted-words. Well, FYI I'm currently in Malacca with my mom and we just happened to pass by a very unique restaurant with a...weird concept...that is toilet concept....As what my mom said, it's a 3 in 1 restaurant (no it's not actually) ; poo, pee & eat...and then I went *puked*  (+_+)

T-Bowl

As I got back to the hotel, I searched for some information on the restaurant & I learned that its name is "T-Bowl" concept restaurant. The T-Bowl (Toilet Bowl) Restaurant was established on 18th Feb 2008 at3rd floor of QueensBay Mall. The restaurant was originated by the founder, Samuel while he was sitting on a toilet bowl one day. All of a sudden he has an idea of eating while sitting in the toilet bowl just as in the movie directed by Anthony Wong a few years ago. Furthermore, he would like to open a special concept restaurant in Penang, hence inspired him to fuse this concept into the food and beverage industries. This restaurant has designed base on the bathroom concept; where the toilet bowl used as seat, basin as dining table, mini toilet bowls as food bowl. Beside that, this restaurant has 3 cute and meaningful main theme characters call the Tbros (Toilet Brothers) such as the toilet bowl, stool and shower. There are varieties of food here range from Japan, Korean, Western, Hong Kong till oriental style. The one that I saw in Malacca is actually its 4th franchise.

Here are some pictures I got for you, go get your lunch there if you're interested in it...although the toilet concept is not very suitable for the Malaysian culture (^_^)/ *my mom seems to be interested in those poo-shape's ice-cream....for me, it's a total gross....

sorry, you can't poo here

have a seat on the toilet, sir

deliciously-made w.c.'s soup

freakalicious ice-cream?!

the most delicious shit

toilet-soup, want some?

New Movie: Harry Potter & The Wizardly Bra

Say ahhhh~

Anime + manga = Animanga

Shonen

Anime & manga; do they sound familiar to you? If they did; well...is there any problems with me liking those two things ? I prefer a "No" answer but if it is a "Yes"... ; doncha' worry because I'm not going to punch you in the face (as we've got PC's screen between us)...I just want to make you change your answer ;)

As I concerned, a lot of people around me often choose the answer of "Yes" which I hate the most because I love animanga so much! It's not like what they though t; "Anime+manga are stupid things and they are made-by-kids-just-for-kids-stuff." Animanga have their own genres and you can "conduct an experiment" by letting your kids or your little brothers & sisters to watch anime with hentai genre. No , you can't do that as hentai contains 100% 18SX or should I say ; adult contents in it. It's definitely not a kids' stuff ; hell no...

Kodomo/Kids

Now, let's start a short briefing on the topic of WTH is anime & manga. They are actually Japanese pronunciations or words which mean animation & comic but many take them as Japanese animations & comics. Both animanga own many genres such as shonen, shoujo, seinen, harem, yaoi, hentai, etc. Kids are not allowed to watch or read any animangas they wanted because not all of them are suitable for a child-reading.

Yuri/Lesbian

Adults

There's an issue that I happened to be found in a local Malay newspaper a few years ago; involving Bleach & Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu animes which contain something-that's-gonna-spoil-your-kids' contents. The TV stations made the right decision to aired them during midnight & labelled them as an adult show. But then some narrow-minded parents asked the TV stations to change the anime schedule to be aired in the morning or afternoon so that their children are able to "enjoy" those animes too. That's the dumbest action I've ever heard; to let a child watch any animations they wanted?! The requests are being accepted but "yeyyy" those animes have a huge numbers of deleted-scenes & as a grown-up..., I have no interest to watch it anymore. I even can't understand or catch-up the anime's whole stories.....well, as there are too many scenes to be removed for the sake of those kids' eyes.

Shojo

Yaoi/Gay

I decided to stop watching any anime on TVs and continue on my hobby of collecting anime DVDs & bought some mangas for myself. Sometimes I also go online manga reading....anddd...all my irritated feelings then gone far far awayyy ~ ~


So, what d'ya think? It's up to you to believe in my story or not. It's just .... I'll leave it to you to rethink about it !  \(^_0)/
