Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni ( 2006 Anime )

Dear Entertainment Diary,

What's UP???! Sorry for not updating you for the longest time, TWO FREAKING WEEKS, so far. Can't update cause I lost up my internet connection. Sad. But I'm still watching a lot of anime series lately. Been loving every piece of those anime videos I downloaded with all my might during my free time especially during midnight onwards.

This post is about one of those animes I have watched probably last two months ago, which also became one of my top favorite animes so far.

I'm sure a lot of you already heard this anime. It actually is a remake or should I say, adaptation, of a very famous Visual Novel, of th same name.

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni also known as When They Cry/ When The Cicadas Cry is probably one of the best animes ever existed. Why? Because it got all the kinds of genre a person can ever want to watch in an anime series. Comedy, Horror, Psychological, Killing spree and Gore, Drama, Family, Slice of Life, Mystery, Fantasy. Need to say more?

I actually like how the creator of this visual game have written and made this masterpiece. He started of introducing the Characters and the Settings at first, then as we know what we all need to know about the anime, well, what we PRIMARILY NEED TO KNOW, then, he just shocked us with this horrible events that are going to make up the plot and mystery of th story. Harsh isn't it? Just when we started to love the characters, the tragedy happens. Well, it's kind of a genius actually. It just came off unexpected, that is if you haven't read any spoiler before watching it.

Another I like about this anime is that, there were so many events happen in just the same time. The writer never ran out of ideas and all of the shockers came unexpected until the end.Who the culprit was? Why they are doing it? What is their past? Etc. All of it just came shocking us, unbelievable but happy endings, who should date who? and many more.

It's just one of the best. Wait. I said it already.

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni is the first pary of the series and contains all the Question arcs, containing 6 Chapters. In other words, there are a lot of questions here and will never be answered even if you finish watching the whole series. Don't worry, this anime is so good and actually got high ratings and praises, it got its second season, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai, which contains the Answer arcs that answers everything regarding to all the happenings in the first series. 

The series is all about the curse, traditions, people, and events regarding the village of Hinamizawa. The story focuses Keiichi Maebara, who just transferred from Tokyo to start his new life after "the incident" happened to him and just wanted to forget it, and his newly found friends Rena Ryuugu, Mion and Shion Sonozaki, Satoko Houjo, and Rika Furude.

The characters were drawn cute and believable, it's just so unbelievable that they can do those horrendously terrifying things just because of this so-called disease and stuff.

Overall, this anime is one of the best (not again?). LOL. Well it's the truth anyways so just watch it and be amazed. Of course, at first you'll all be like "What the?" What just happened? Why the hell did they do that? Why him? Why her?Why is the autopsy says she died the before the Watanagashi festival when we saw her walking there? (OOOOPPSSS SPOILER) I think I must stop right now.

I advice you to watch everything about this series and believe me, you will be satisfied and amazed on just how what we thought the many different stories tangled up and put up together in such a way we understand the things we desperately want to know.  

P.S. When the Title and ending credits roll. Do not, I mean, DO NOT, forward it cause the 2 ost's are too good to be skipped. Both are very good catchy songs that will run around your mind for a couple of weeks! Believe me, I even made a cover of the endinig OST "Why, Why Not". :)

Miley Cyrus Bares all in New Video, Wrecking Ball

image courtesy of wikipedia

Dear Entertainment Diary,

So here I am, updating you again about Miley's newest video, Wrecking Ball. I'm actually updating using my tablet and I hate it cuz it's hard and it keeps on hanging.

I can't even see what am I typing right now so sorry for some typos and stuff.

Anyways, after the VMA incident regarding Miley's performance, a lot has been questioning her personality and that is just rude.  I mean, they are saying she changed a lot and wants to grow up easily. Who cares? Just let her do what she wants.

And now, in this video, Miley did what she wants, to be bare naked and lemme tell you, she is damn sexy and hot!

Yet again, a lot has been questioning her regarding being nude in a video while in fact, many artists did it already.

For me, this is her most emotional video to date. This video contains more than nudity.It has her emotions that made me wanna cry while watching it and I did not felt anything greenish while watching it. It's like art. She was just like Rose being painted nude by Jack in the Film Titanic. It's for artistic passion.

Say what you all want but I'll keep on supporting my queen no matter what. Let's break the Vevo record by the way!

Watch it now!!!!

UPDATE:

DAAAMMMMNNN! Our queen just regained the record for Vevo's Most viewed video in 24 hours with 19+ million. The video is currently has 90 million views and its oin its way to gain 100 million views which is also a new record, well, she has the record for the video with fastest 100 million views anyways. And now she's gonna set her first number 1 in single in Billboard's Hot 100 so let's go help her make it, Smilers!

Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus 2013 Song)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

I'm very sorry for not updating you. I have watched so many animes (finished them already, the whole series btw, and I even caught up with Naruto Shippuden's latest episode but I'm not here to update about that)

So, Miley finally revealed the title of her upcoming and very grown up-anticipated album, #Bangerz. I think because it's all about head banging and stuff. Or the other greenish meaning "bang". HAHAHA. Just kidding.

If we all thought that We Can't Stop is a very good song from the singer-actress, well, Wrecking Ball is such a very powerful rock ballad that contains her emotions about being wrecked by someone she likes when in fact, she wanted to break the wall of the person in the first place, I guess?, and it will definitely blow you away. It also keeps me going back to or reminds me of some old Chinese songs and some 80's stuff.

This is such a very sad and emotional song coming from her when in fact, I thought all her new songs are gonna be hiphop or songs that are very upbeat. I just can't over this song especially when it's been so long since I last heard a ballad from Miley. When I Look At You is on of her best and I think this song surpassed it, in my opinion. I just hope #WreckingBall also do well in the charts. 

And as I always say, her voice is so cool.Cooler than before. Even us listeners can feel her emotions while singing her feelings out in this song that's all about fighting for it until the end, fighting for the love that she wants to keep alive, but apparently, things didn't quite work out, and she looses in the end.

Base from the 2 latest songs from Miley, I think her album will gonna be an album with full of many emotions, gonna be successful, and let's take it to the top when they release it on October 8!

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]

We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain

We jumped, never asking why

We kissed, I fell under your spell

A love no one could deny

[Pre-Chorus]

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I can’t live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

[Chorus]

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you, you wreck me

[Verse 2]

I put you high up in the sky

And now, you’re not coming down

It slowly turned, you let me burn

And now, we’re ashes on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I can’t live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

[Chorus]

I came in like a wrecking ball, I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreck me

I came in like a wrecking ball

Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung

Left me crouching in a blaze and fall

All you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you wreck me

[Bridge]

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

And instead of using force

I guess I should’ve let you in

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

I guess I should’ve let you in

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

[Chorus]

I came in like a wrecking ball, I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreck me

I came in like a wrecking ball

Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung

Left me crouching in a blaze and fall

All you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you wreck me

I read that if you pre-ordered the album, you'll get "Wrecking Ball" for free!

RED MV by Taylor Swift

Image courtesy of wikipedia.org

Dear Entertainment Diary,

I am so happy when the Music video for Tay-tay's song, Red, which also serves as her album's title, finally saw the light of day but when I saw that it was a concert video, (like Sparks Fly, and Fearless), my adrenaline just came down. It'\s just that Red is one of the songs that I like the most fro her latest album and it also one of the songs that has very deep meaning and emotions.

But when I watched it, I just felt I want to rush to Taylor's Red Tour as it is magically awesome and we can see her totally rockin' it out on the stage and giving her best. Damn, this video is great and lucky are those who already saw her perform in her Red tour! If only I can watch it. :(

The Voice of The Philippines ( 2013 Reality Talent Search Competition)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

Happy 100th post!

So, I am a big fan of The Voice US. I love everything about that reality TV Talent search especially when it comes to the coaches/judges/mentors! Adam, Blake, Christina, and Cee Lo started it off, then the 2 in the latter were now replaced by Shakira and Usher, respectively, but I think in Season 5 they will be back.

Moving on. It's been so long ago that the Kapamilya network announced about their franchise of the show and I got excited! I got more hyped when one of my favorite blogs, Fashion PULIS, let his readers know who are the judges going to be and they are all very famous and talented whet it comes to music! They are not just what they called so-so. Let me begin with my Idol Lea Salonga ("The voice that conquered the world"), then Apl de Ap ("The voice that ruled the worldwide music chart"), Sarah G. ("The voice that captured our hearts") and Bamboooooo ("The voice that rocked our world") ! Yeah! Who wouldn't b excited?

But months ago, FP also revealed/compared the set/stage of The Voice Philippines from the other 2 more The Voice franchises here also in Asia. I think Thailand is the one and I just forgot the other one. Hongkong perhaps?

Based on what I've seen at that time, the two other franchises were more HIGH TECH compared to our country's franchise. And what more, it is a far cry from The Voice US's set/stage! Aside from its set, there were also some rumors/blind items about the show which lessen my excitement. But, Bad publicity is still publicity.

So tonight, The Voice of the Philippines finally debuted its Pilot episode and I was disappointed about the set! Really disappointed because it is one of the features that I love on The Voice US. The chairs were turning slowly. I don't know, 10 seconds before the judge can face the contestant? Just Kidding! But it was really slow.

BUT, the judges blew away my disappointment especially Lea Salonga! I love her energy! There came to a point where I think she's being OA but she's just so cute and adorable to hate! I really love her so much and we can see how she really want to be a mentor in this competition and she's aiming to be the first mentor to win. Bamboo is just mild but his words were very nice, real, and has meanings. What he said were inspiring and colorful especially the part where he said, "We'll play around" HAHAHA. Apl is genuine in his words although I didn't like his outfit but he is being real. He can relate to the contestants who come from poor families! Sarah G, is just so honest in her words! She's being real but I think she is just too polite, saying PO or OPO all the time. Ms Laida Magtalas, I mean, Mrs. Montenegro, You need to be  Rayver, I mean, BRAVER. BOLDER. FIERCER.

So to sum the pilot episode, IT'S GOOD and PROMISING. I love it but not 100%. I probably will watch more episodes of it but I hope I can still see the judges being hyper, honest, and professional! 

I hope it won't be scripted just to gain attraction or won't be a charity case as what happened to some of  the reality search here in the Philippines! I hope they stay true and find the one of the Best Voices of the Philippines!

We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus (2013 Song)

Image courtesy of wikipedia.com

Dear entertainment Diary,

Yes! Finally, my goddess, Miley Cyrus, finally let her fans hear her latest single after 3 years! Everyone knows she was very busy lending her voice to many of the songs of the many talented male singers out there including Will.I.Am and Snoop Lion. Man! I know that this song, We Can't Stop, is very far from her former pop rock songs and more adult than her previous songs in her album especially during her Disney/Hannah Montana days as she embraces a new genre, urban and a lot more R&B.

For me, the song is not a typical song to be a single but as of now, it's proving itself on the charts and I hope it'll debut this week on top! Anyways, as I said, it's not a typical song for a single but as a comeback song, it's fine. The beats are there and the voice is still kickin' and larger than her usual voice. I just don't know what to do while listening to the song; should I dance because of its beat and meaningful lyrics about life or should I cry because if the drama that is accompanying Miley's voice and dramatically played piano notes.

There is quite a stir all over the internet since the song was heard that the lyrics were pertaining about drugs but the producers already denied it and I, as well, can't see anything about it on the lyrics. I'm singing the words as Miley, not MOLLY, thank you very much.

Literally speaking, the lyrics is about doing what we want when we are in a party but as I understand it, I can see as I dug deeper that it is about life. Like no one should care about the things we are doing as long as it is right!

Go download it on iTunes people and can't wat for the music video!
