Well, the story was ORIGINALLY created by me. Here this story goes

Once upon a time, in a Happily island, that was the island called. It called like that because all of the animal lived happily in there. So it given name happily island. Until one day, Momo, a tigger who worked as a safeguard at happily beach see someone floated in ocean. So Momo took a life-jacket and brought it while she was swimming accross the ocean. When she was looking closely, the person who was floated in ocean was a bear. No waste of time, she put the life-jacket on to him and brought him to beach. Many people got near to see what happened. Momo’s friend, Nunu. Suddenly called the ambulance after she saw Momo carried someone on his back. A few minutes later, the ambulance came. So, that unknown bear was brought to the hospital.

The time flew away, and finally he woke up. The nurse asked what his name. And he said his name was Jerry. The nurse called Momo to tell the bear who he saved had woken up. So Momo came to hospital. When both of them saw each other, so each of them introduced themselves. The doctor talked to Momo that Jerry was alright. He just had bruises over his body. But it’s ok (it’s that alright?). Momo knew that Jerry didn’t have any places to went so he offered Jerry to stay a while at Momo’s house. Jerry agreed.

Time passed away, and Jerry started to habituate in happily island. So he chose to be a farmer. He worked so hard until he got enough money to buy some house. Momo, who always beside him was happy of course. Jerry became a success farmer and he had his own field. And because he had a lot of money, he bought field again. He had a field but he couldn’t do this alone. Momo helped him to get workers from his friends. Jerry happy so they all worked together. The result is out of they predicted, many rice had been produced. So momo kept the rice for dry season. Because sometimes, on dry season, the rice didn’t grow up so well, unsuccessfully.

Dry season is came, many people didn’t have any rice to eat. So all of them came to Jerry’s house to ask some rice. But Jerry didn’t want to give some rice to them. So all of them with sad expression, went back to their house. Since then, many people didn’t like him. Eventhough he gave higher salary, the workers didn’t want to work at Jerry’s field. Because all of people seems to far away from Jerry, Jerry gone mad and secured. Momo, couldn’t stand anymore. He visited Jerry and told him that he shouldn’t act like that. Momo reminded that all of the rice that Jerry got is from the people who asked him for the rice. Jerry felt so deeply sad because all of his behavior. So Jerry decided to apologize to all of people that sad because of him.

The next day, all of people was happy. They all could forgive what Jerry had done. Everything was going well.

Hope you enjoy my stories J

Sleeping Bitch: Prologue

Thursday, April 21, 2011 ( 7:54 PM )

Once upon a time... heck, why the hell every story started with this line!? Argh... so anyway here's how the story goes.

Once, there was a kingdom, what's it's name? Silencia... well, actually... the kingdom used to has a nicer name than 'silent'. but i didn't remember because of a certain evil-but-super-duper-hot wizard cast a spell to make everyone to forget. Including me, the 'sadly unreliable' storyteller (my best friend Roxy used to teased me with it... Damn, you Roxy!) Anyway, this story was my direct experience. It happened before the name Silencia came out.

On a night after the queen's endless screams and profanities while she was in labor (the king almost want to run away with his mistress) Finally a baby girl was born. While every minister, viscounts, dukes, and any other nobleman was disappointed because the baby wasn't male, the king and the queen rejoiced. After all, the two of them had been trying to have a baby since... i don't know... since they were 15!? and now thirty years later and luckily just before the two of them enters menopausal stage, their longing for a child finally resolved. Who cares if it's a boy, a girl, or a hermaphrodite... the important thing was the one that popped out from the queen's belly was a HUMAN!

Because of the king's and queen's daughter or in this case the I-don't-know-it's-name Kingdom's princess arrival, of course they wanted to celebrate. a Banquet was held for 7 days (using their people's tax money... what a corruptor!). They invited many guests; famous scholars, famous poets, famous singers, famous sellers, and lots of other famouses... (they almost invited famous criminal... what a joke). Ironically, they didn't invite the queen's mother and she holds a grudge for hundreds of years because of that... but for now let's leave the Angry Mother subplot because it's not the main point... at least for this particular scene.

Of all the guest who had been invited, there was three guests that stands out. The reason: One, they are famous even among famouses. Two, they made a huge fashion statement (you could compare the three of them with Lady Gaga). And Three, they are not human, they are fairies.

This unique group composed by these fairies are a centenarian twin sister named Pho and Phi. They were accompanied by their apprentice... a geeky and stuttering 15 year old human boy . It was unusual for anyone to invite non-humans. But the day after childbirth was a day when fairies were invited to give blessings to the child. They were given fancy human food in exchange for blessings. Fairies on that time was quite cheap honestly.

If i remember correctly, they were present since day One of the princess's celebration. But, the 6th day was the day when they were ready to give their blessing to the princess. The older of the fairy twin Pho announced, "O mighty king ! today is the perfect time for us... to blessed the beloved princess!"

The king and the queen become nervous. Although they have already requested it, they were afraid of what kind of blessings will be given.

"O please, graceful Pho and Phi! do so!" said the king in a I-am-almighty tone, but i know he was super nervous, like he was having an affair with his mistress (well he actually does...). Seriously, it' written all over his face, I saw it.

Pho, with a 100% confidence written in her face said, "May the princess be blessed with Eternal Beauty!" Wow, eternal beauty Pho? B-O-R-I-N-G.

It's time for Pho's twin sister Phi, to give her blessing. Did i ever mentioned that the old fool already rolling in wheelchair? So the stuttering assistant pushed her wheelchair. The poor boy was also scolded for being clumsy "Faster!" shouted Phi. "Y-y-y-yesss!" the boy stuttered while trying to move Phi's heavy wheelchair. Finally, when Phi was in front of the princess's cradle she said, "May the princess be blessed with a beautiful singing voice, far more intoxicating than any poets!" The second blessing was also boring and in addition: lame. Why would the princess needs a beautiful singing voice? It's not like she is born in 21st century and going to participate in American Idol. The only pros from Phi's blessings are the fact that she uses the word Intoxicating... somehow, i like that word. It's like the princess are going to seduce someone with her intoxicating voice. You made my day Phi.

While i personally hated those two useless blessings, the king and the queen certainly loved it. They raised their wine glass and said, "Cheers for Pho and Phi!" Well, as much as i think how lame those blessings are, i can't deny another glass of wine. So, i raised my glass along with all the guests and...

BOOM!

An explosion huge enough to blow the entire palace's entrance happened. In no time, the palace was covered with a thick smoke and guests were screaming. Many of the palace guards were flying in the air because of the explosion. I happen to catch one of them, luckily not dead just unconcious. I observed the hole that was created by the explosion. Hundreds years later, explosion are mainly caused by either cannons, bombs, bazookas, nuclears, manmade weapons, etc.

In this time, only one thing that can caused a huge explosion.

Magic.

"W-who...infiltrated my palace!" shouted the king while all the guest were sent to hysteria.

A dark figure appeared when the fog cleared. A Man wearing a black cloak were walking inside the palace. He walked through all of palace guard's corpse. He didn't stop even when the remaining guards attacked him or when Pho and Phi were casting harmful spells toward him. Who is this mysterious dark figure? I wondered with curiosity that time.

He stopped after he was already in front of the princess's cradle. "What a beautiful baby girl, what's her name your highness?" asked the Man with Black Cloak with a swift, mystical, female voice!? What the hell!?

The panic king didn't answer the Man with Black Cloak. Instead, he repeated his question, "W-who are you!?"

The Man lifted his cloak and revealed that He... was a she. And more importantly that woman was...

"Roxy?" I whispered. What is she doing here? Why did she blew up the castle? Those are my thoughts when seeing my best friend standing in front of the princess's cradle. I always knew that she was a troublemaker, but a criminal that blow up Royalty's house? Can't Imagine.... at least until she revealed her reasons years later....

"W-who are you!?" asked the king for the third time. Strangely, even though he was the victim, he was absolutely annoying.

Roxy, apparently annoyed with the king's repetitive questions, raised her staff and sets the decoration on fire. It was actually a small trick we both learned from magic school. But nevertheless, it scared both the king and queen.

"I asked you, O Foolish king! What is your daughter's name!? ANSWER ME!?" Roxy barked. What an interesting display of power and fear, Roxy. That's why it was always so interesting to be your friend...

"A-aurora..." answered the King. Aurora... it means dawn. I have to admit, even though both the King and the Queen were such an obnoxious couple, they have a good taste when it comes to naming their children.

Roxy cleared her throat, and said, "Ah, i see that two fairies have blessed the beautiful Princess Aurora with magic. One blessing was an eternal beauty, and the other was a singing voice... is that correct?"

The horrified King can only nod. No more senseless questions. Good for him, i know Roxy is a very powerful witch. Angering her is never a good idea.

Roxy smiled, "Do not fear, my king. I am also a fairy. My name is Roxanne, I am also~"

"You're a fairy?" said Phi suddenly, "I have never heard a fairy named Roxanne or seen a fairy who dressed as gloomy as~"

"Silence!" Roxy barked. Phi had made an ugly move. Never cut Roxy when she speaks or you better prepare for the consequences, such as turning into animals for a short time or getting an extra hand.

Luckily for Phi, Roxy seems to forgive him and ignored him. Then, she continued her speech, "I am here to give your daughter a blessing..."

"No! you can't do that!" now the Queen cut her off. From Roxy's expression from that time, i knew that she was going to turn the Queen into a pig but she didn't do it. For me, as her best friend, it was strange. Roxy was such a hot-blooded witch and now she already forgave two people who cuts her off. Something's not right...

Roxy, ignored the Queen's plea, reached her hand tom Aurora. She touched her forehead and said in a quiet voice, "My blessing to you my dear Aurora is... death."

A lot of people gasped, including me. I thought that time that what Roxy have done was cruel. I get it if she wanted to crash this stupid party, but cursing a baby girl? it's not even funny for me.

"When she turns 16, she would prick her finger on the spindle of the Spinning Wheel of Death and die..." Roxy continued in her mystique voice.

"NO!!" the King cried. Then Pho and Phi were casting harmful spells toward Roxy again, of course my dear friend Roxy repelled them easily. After Roxy display such power she said, "This is your punishment for your arrogance and infidelity! Let the death of your daughter be your punishment! HAHAHAHA!!" Her maniacal laugh came of as awkward, like she was faking it. Her reasons for such a deadly curse were also ridiculous. I know that the King was a corrupt leader, but she has no right to punish him through a human child. What happened to you, Roxy?

"O Pho! Phi! i begged you, please undo that witch's blessing!" The King turned to the fairy sister and begged them. Well I knew that they cannot undo Roxy's curse, it was too powerful. As i thought both of them shook their head and said their reason, which was pretty much the same as my prediction. It's too powerful, we have no such power to undo it, and bla bla bla. The queen cried in agony and shouted, "It's your fault! you should have invited her!"

"I do not know if there is a fairy goes by that name!" shouted the king.

"You should've reviewed the guest's list rather than playing around with your mistress!" the Queen cried.

"Well you didn't help me!"

"I was working hard to give birth to our child!!"
What a ridiculous development, instead of finding a way to solve the situation, blaming each other to the point of revealing hideous secrets. It was very shameful.

"E-excuse me...uh... King? Queen?"

I looked around, it's the stuttering assistant. I wondered, what was he going to do?

The King frowned, "What is it boy!?"

The Assistant was shocked with the King's thundering voice and stuttered even more, "I-i-i-i b-b-bel-lived t-that i-i-i-i..."

The King was obviously did not have the patience, "I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS NONSENSE! GUARDS SENT HIM AWAY!!!"

"Wait, your majesty!" said Pho suddenly.

"I think what the boy is going to say is..." Phi added.

"He can solve the princess's problem!" said Phi and Pho together. Really? Seriously? that geeky stuttering boy?

Both the King and the Queen now turned their heads toward the Assistant, "Do pray tell, O young One. What can a mere human boy do to undo my daughter's curse?" asked the Queen.

The Assistant was obviously nervous, but his expression was 100% certain. He said, "Y-your majesty, I c-cannot f-fully undo the Wicked Fairy's curse. Bbbuut i can mend it... so she won't die when she's 16." After saying such bold statement, he got hiccups. Poor boy.

The King and the Queen was confused. Now this is getting interesting, I thought. What will you do?

Pho and Phi seems to realized what's her assistant going to do. They both whispered to each other with a horrified expression. Super-duper Interesting.

The Assistant walked towards Princess Aurora's cradle. In a same manner with Roxy, he touched Princess Aurora's forehead and...

"Wait! the boy is still just an apprentice, is not? Would it not better if Pho or Phi do this enchantment instead?" said the Queen, interrupting the Assistant.

Pho and Phi immediately shook their head, "Oh, do not worry your majesty! That kind of spell is something that our lowly apprentice able to do!" What an excuse. I knew that whatever that boy was trying to do was something that the Fairy Sisters cannot do. So if he failed, the blame would be on the boy's shoulder. Sad, wasn't it? But if it really was something so powerful, there's no way that this boy would be able to succeed. Nu-uh... absolutely impossible. That was my thought as a witness of this incident until...

The Assistant proceed with his action. He touched Princess Aurora's forehead and said with a quiet voice, "My dear Princess Aurora, you have been cursed with a wicked spell. No One can undo the curse placed upon you. But when that spindle prick your fingers, i shall assure you and your family that stands beside you, that you will NOT die... You will be put into eternal deep sleep instead. No one will be able to wake you... until..."

"Until her dark knight give her a kiss that will awaken her from her eternal slumber."

He didn't have to announced it, i knew his spell worked. I can feel it (Well, i am also witch in addition of become a sexy storyteller). I can feel the surge of power flowing. That time, i knew he wasn't just a mere human boy, the way he gave the counterspell to roxy's curse was amazing. He didn't even stuttered, not once. I wondered if he, like Roxy was faking his stutter and his awkward attitude just like Roxy's fake maniacal laugh. He was certainly a wizard... I wondered if i ever met him in Magic School.

Then the Assistant looked at me. The air around him feels different, no more awkward and geeky. What i feel that time was confidence. Oh god... i knew this boy... he was...

Long time no see, Lea...

He gave me a telepathy and he also recognized me. I bit my lips, he was the first person to make me so nervous and... horrified. He was much powerful than his master, Pho and Phi. His powers was even on par with Roxy... horrifying... but totally interesting. I wondered, what would happen next?

I have lived a long life, but the next part of this story was something that i could never imagined. All of the incidents were all swirling around Roxy, the Assistant, Princess Aurora, her destined dark knight...

And of course me, Leanne Vodermann, The Storyteller.

Author Notes: This is only a prologue from my story. I maybe post the next chapter if i have the time and i will surely change the title when i find it. So for now, please enjoy!!!

Confession of a certain human

( 4:30 AM )

I have never met a guy so beautiful

He has a pale white skin and his cheek is rose colored, he has full lips that makes you wanna kiss him

His body is like a perfect sculpture, no fat whatsoever

He is an embodiment of a true perfection

So one day i locked him up in a room

I told him i love him

To the point that i could shed a tear just by looking at his beauty

Then i kissed him... softly

Strange... why can't i feel his full, hot lips?

And instead... a cold marble?

So i push myself away

And looked him in the eye

Then i realized something utterly cruel

The one i kissed is none other than a perfect reflection of me in the mirror

Ooh... I cried again in agony

Kaichou wa Maid-Sama

Monday, April 4, 2011 ( 7:57 PM )

Kaichou wa Maid- Sama is a manga series by Hiro Fujiwara. This series is serialized in Hakusensha's shojo manga magazine Lala, and the serial chapters collected into eleven volumes. The first was released on September 5,2006.

Ayuzawa Misaki is a second year student Seika High, a former boys school that only recently became co-ed and its student body has a reputation as a delinquent and unruly lot. Misaki, the first female Student Council president has taken it upon herself to reform the school and improve its image.

And so, to the boys in the school she’s a demon dictator who is permanently on their cases, and to the teachers and much smaller female student body, she’s a shining beacon of hope. She’s hard-working and intelligent, tough as nails … but she has a secret that could destroy the image she has built for herself if it was ever discovered – in order to help her single mother and maintain her household, she works part-time as a maid at Maid Latte, a maid cafe.

Misaki's life changes drastic when she meets Usui Takumi, one of the more popular boys at school bumps into her outside Maid Latte while she’s in her maid uniform. Much to her surprise, he keeps her secret, but on the flip side, despite his general disinterest in girls in general, he takes a great deal of interest in Misaki’s doings, completely putting her off her stride.

even it was a shojo manga, you'll find a big diffrent from others shojo manga, Misaki, Unlike most of the girls you’ll find in other shojo manga, she’s not cute, permanently dressed in skimpy outfits (even the maid uniform is quite decent in that respect, but it earns a lot of moe points ^_^) – in addition to that, she’s extremely smart and hard-working, terrifically sporty, and packs a hell of a punch, as Usui and a couple of boys find out to their own cost. Pretty much a tomboy, really. Oh, and she hates boys.

As for Usui, much as I fangirl this bishounen, he comes across one-dimensional. Like all shoujo heroes, Usui's smart (he scores higher than Misaki in exams); he speaksExcuse me, another cup of coffee? English better than anyone in school; he's no wimp (he can kick down doors); and he flies (he jumps down from the school rooftop to retrieve an embarrassing (to Misaki) photograph of himself and the Kaichou in maid costume). The conformism to template is such that it wouldn't surprise me to discover that he's as rich as any of the Ouran boys, too.

Despite his popularity amongst the girls at school, he has zero interest in girls until he meets Misaki. So much interest, as a matter of fact, that Misaki takes to calling him a perverted alien stalker. Usui himself is a complete mystery to Misaki, and it’s probably this reason that she spends so much time trying to figure him out. And thus, a love-hate relationship is born.

You see, it is during the frequent interactions between the two where you discover that, wait, Misaki actually can be cute. And that cuteness is brought out in the countless embarrassed and/or angry expressions Misaki tends to wear whenever Usui mercilessly teases her. And despite the fact that Usui almost permanently infuriates her, he seems to be determined to get Misaki to like him.

Misaki - usually cute when embarrassed

Downfall of the Soul Reapers!? (Part 1)

Thursday, March 31, 2011 ( 8:02 AM )

If you go to any online manga reading website, you'll see three mangas that stood on the top of most popular mangas.
These three mangas are Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. Well, it's not like they are always on top, but usually they does... And all three has a huge fanbase all around the world. I've read all three of them and although Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece are all shonen mangas, the three of them are interesting in their own way.

But, the consequences of being popular are severe. The mind of the creators of these mangas are (predictably) clouded. With what? MONEY. They knew, that their brainchild are loved and fans wanting to read more and more... So, instead of increasing the quality of the manga they increased the quantity of EVERYTHING. From number of characters, number of chapters, number of senseless fighting scenes, but strangely they keep decreasing the number of pages and always strangely leave one chapter in a predictable cliffhanger and degraded quality. So F-up!

Do these things affecting the fans? Yep. At least i was affected. Although still huge, the Big THREE (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece) are losing their more intellectual fans and fans who got bored easily if there is no progress in a chapter. It is proven with their ranking, not number 1, 2, or three anymore. Maybe number 5 to 10 but sometimes the ranks go down even lower. Not so low... but still a huge risque for such a popular manga.

The story of Naruto and One Piece are currently flowing in a nice direction. Still Long Fights, but at least we know where the stories goes on. Naruto might be getting an ending soon (in Masashi Kishimoto's ways, about another hundred soon -_-") And to be honest, i can't really judge One Piece because I don't follow it every week. But I totally can judge Bleach... and it's story's progress are moving in a huge DOWNFALL.

In part 2, i will post an opinion about Bleach's latest cons which will probably result in this Death God series into downfall. Stay tune!
