Here this story goes &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"&gt;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&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;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. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"&gt;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. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"&gt;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. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"&gt;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. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;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.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"&gt;The next day, all of people was happy. They all could forgive what Jerry had done. Everything was going well. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"&gt;Hope you enjoy my stories &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IN" style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ansi-language: IN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IN" style="mso-ansi-language: IN;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7250533638393643839-8315576825048316892?l=grayareadiversity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://grayareadiversity.blogspot.com/feeds/8315576825048316892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://grayareadiversity.blogspot.com/2011/04/happily-ever-after.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7250533638393643839/posts/default/8315576825048316892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7250533638393643839/posts/default/8315576825048316892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://grayareadiversity.blogspot.com/2011/04/happily-ever-after.html' title='happily ever after'/><author><name>Ldivers</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03700765379502422967</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250533638393643839.post-7484650251082797005</id><published>2011-04-21T19:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-22T00:06:46.445-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sleeping Bitch: Prologue</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Once upon a time... heck, why the hell every story started with this line!? Argh... so anyway here's how the story goes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;On a night after the queen's endless screams and profanities while she was in labor &amp;nbsp;(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 &amp;nbsp;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 &amp;nbsp;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!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;criminal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;... 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 &amp;nbsp;because it's not the main point... at least for this particular scene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The king and the queen become nervous. Although they have already requested it, &amp;nbsp;they were afraid of what kind of blessings will be given.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It's time for Pho's twin sister Phi, to give her blessing. Did i ever mentioned that the old fool already &amp;nbsp;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 &amp;nbsp;going to participate in American Idol. The only pros from Phi's blessings are the fact that she uses the word &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Intoxicating...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;somehow, i like that word. It's like the princess are going to seduce someone with her &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;intoxicating &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;voice. You made my day Phi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;While i personally hated those two useless blessings, the king and the queen certainly loved it. They raised their wine glass &amp;nbsp;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...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;BOOM!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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 &amp;nbsp;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In this time, only one thing that can caused a huge explosion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Magic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"W-who...infiltrated my palace!" shouted the king while all the guest were sent to hysteria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;female &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;voice!? What the hell!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The panic king didn't answer the Man with Black Cloak. Instead, he repeated his question, "W-who are you!?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Man lifted his cloak and revealed that He... was a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;she. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;And more importantly that woman was...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"Roxy?" I whispered. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;What is she doing here? Why did she blew up the castle?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; 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....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"W-who are you!?" asked the king for the third time. Strangely, even though he was the victim, he was absolutely annoying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"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...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"A-aurora..." answered the King. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Aurora... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;it means dawn.&amp;nbsp;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Roxy smiled, "Do not fear, my king. I am also a fairy. My name is Roxanne, I am also~"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"You're a fairy?" said Phi suddenly, "I have never heard a fairy named Roxanne or seen a fairy who dressed as gloomy as~"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"No! you can't do that!" now the Queen cut her off. From Roxy's expression from that time, &amp;nbsp;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...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;death."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"When she turns 16, she would p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;rick her finger on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;spindle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_Wheel" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; text-decoration: none;" title="Spinning Wheel"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Spinning Wheel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;of Death and die..." Roxy continued in her mystique voice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"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?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"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!"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"I do not know if there is a fairy goes by that name!" shouted the king.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"You should've reviewed the guest's list rather than playing around with your mistress!" the Queen cried.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"Well you didn't help me!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"I was working hard to give birth to our child!!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"E-excuse me...uh...

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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The King and the Queen was confused. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Now this is getting interesting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;, I thought. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;What will you do?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Assistant walked towards Princess Aurora's cradle. In a same manner with Roxy, he touched Princess Aurora's forehead and...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;"Until her dark knight &amp;nbsp;give her a kiss that will awaken her from her eternal slumber."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Long time no see, Lea...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;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?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I have lived a long life, but the next part of this story was something that i could never imagined.

Our respondents are our classmate from xi ipa3. The survey was aimed at finding out wether our classmate loves korean entertainment or not. From 26 respondent, 18 student knows about korean entertainment. Only 8 student said that they know nothing about korean entertainment. About 15 people doesnt like korean entertainment even though they that they knew about them.

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.

(Part 1)</title><content type='html'>If you go to any online manga reading website, you'll see three mangas that stood on the top of most popular mangas.&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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...&amp;nbsp; and it's story's progress are moving in a huge DOWNFALL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7250533638393643839-549615425700468710?l=grayareadiversity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://grayareadiversity.blogspot.com/feeds/549615425700468710/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://grayareadiversity.blogspot.com/2011/03/downfall-of-soul-reapers-part-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7250533638393643839/posts/default/549615425700468710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7250533638393643839/posts/default/549615425700468710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://grayareadiversity.blogspot.com/2011/03/downfall-of-soul-reapers-part-1.html' title='Downfall of the Soul Reapers!?

I would like to say hi, and welcome to this racist and highly pornographic blog where our members wrote all of their dirty inner thought.... Okay, i am kidding (Pornographic? Puh-lease... all members excluding me are wearing jilbab) But this blog is pretty much random stuff and previous posts suddenly talks about Japanese Gods? well I could predict that future posts would be:&lt;br /&gt;1. A certain man known by initial MJ&lt;br /&gt;2. Boring school stuff &lt;br /&gt;3. Running Man (the variety show one, not Arnold Schwarzenegger 1987 movie)&lt;br /&gt;4. Manga and Anime&lt;br /&gt;5. Completely random stuff (like this highly unique rant)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My fluffy face friend&amp;nbsp; Ethandra would probably wrote number one and number 2. My elegant friend Dara would wrote number 3 (if she is not too "BUSY"). My future politician friend Wulan (Ah, Wulan would say, "Politic is dirty!" but i know you are very interested in that topic...) would wrote poetry, and Me? don't know... don't care...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
