I'm interested in learning japanese language. I want to buy a book about it but my wallet told me not to do so. I'm looking for a good site but I have not seen one which suits my needs.

I'm fascinated by the way japanese people speak especially in Wowow. They seem to be speaking gibberish but apparently, they understand each other. I want to speak japanese. Although I want to speak nihongo, I don't care learning writing in japanese scripts. If you know a good site then let me know. Just comment on this post.

I asked her through text (by the way, she can have her cellphone with her every weekends and days when there are no classes)
 the other day, 

Do you speak with someone in japanese in our school?
I know some half-japanese students here but they don't know how to speak japanese

That boosts my eagerness in learning the language. I told her to chat with me in japanese and then she replied,

Suki desu

She's a half-japanese student in our school. She looks like a manga character like every japanese does. She's got a nice voice which resonates in my mind everytime I remember her. She has the most beautiful smile.

She's kind and witty. We smile whenever we see each other. I can say that she's charming. 

We barely speak to each other. Our means of communication is through SMS but she lost her cellphone because of a low grade. After she lost her cellphone, we lost connection. That was until I tried to talk to her.

I'm an introvert person who can't start a simple conversation. I always think of something to say . I always abandon my plan to start the conversation because I think that she would be just wasting her time talking to me. I can't think of a sensible topic or at least I don't think the topic I would have will be sensible.

The first time I talked to her, I started a very lame conversation. I ask her a lousy question. 

Who's going to get your report card? 
My aunt, why?
Nothing

At least she answered that question and even ask me why I'm asking her that. I thought for myself she wanted to continue our dialogue. I would have continued our talk but she's heading somewhere with one of her friends and I don't want to disturb her.

She always got a batallion of friends around her. One of the reasons why I can't talk to her. I got a very low guts and I can't go anywhere near her with her friends.

This afternoon, I planned to talk to her. She still got her friends with her all the time and I don't have the chance to talk to her. Hours passed and I'm still waiting for the perfect time. Thanks to my friend. He persuaded me to talk to her before we go home. I've got butterflies in my stomache the whole time I'm talking to her. All goes well. We said goodbye to each other and we go home. I can still hear our conversation until now. 

If you think that there are no groupies anymore, think again. Rock bands are once agian "in" thus, groupies are everywhere. Rock bands are not rock bands without groupies.

Few weeks ago, I received a message from someone I don't know in friendster. It's a hate mail. The girl who send it to me was angry because I have called a band sintunado in my messenger status. The sender was not in my messenger list. As far as I can recall, she was a friend of a friend of someone who added me because we studied in the same school (the sender's school is in Manila). 

She was saying that the band was the one who wrote the song thus, they know the tone (her point is not clear but I think that's her point). Yes, they know the notes and the tone but does the singer sing the song in-tune? My violin teacher told me that when he attended one of the band's concert, he and his classmates were saying that the vocalist sing the song full of flats and sharps, making it sintunado.

Unfortunately for her, I replied to the hate mail saying I'm not the only one who is saying that the band is out-of-tune and I supported my message with facts. After sending the message, I turned the message settings to friends only. I do that not because I'm afraid but because I was pissed off with groupies. I don't want anymore hate mail. 

The sender also stated in her message that I can't tell their Guidance Counselor what she was doing in friendster since we don't have the same school. I giggled after I read that. The sender was afraid. I was planning to contact their guidance counselor since they have a website but I did not because it's a waste of time dealing with non-sense things.

Many people (like the sender) are worshiping rockstars. They are not gods and they are not perfect. Someday, they will have wrinkles in their faces and white hairs. They are not in the concert stage forever so let's not waste time worshiping them. I'm not saying that we should not go to their concerts and buy their albums. We can enjoy their music but definitely not worship rockstars.

Some people asked me "how does it feel to be an only child?" I hate that question. If you are watching GMA-7 and your friends were talking about shows in ABS-CBN, can you join their discussion? I don't think so. Just like being an only child. I cannot answer that stupid question because I cannot recall myself not being an only child.
