Sorry for not blogging lately. Thanks to my friends at Tunapuff Forums, I’ve developed a new, unhealthy obsession for Naruto
That is one excellent anime! I made William watch a couple of episodes with me. He even liked it, which means it must be pretty good, considering he doesn’t care much for cartoons. I’ve downloaded and watched 70+ episodes since Saturday. Pretty sad, huh?
Seriously though, if you like anime, you should definitely check out this series. I’ve posted the storyline (spoilers) below, if you’re interested.
In a concealed village, a young man hides within a bunch of leaves. His name is Uzumaki Naruto, a mischievous boy attending Ninja Academy.
Everyday, he does nothing but cause mischief and making Iruka-sensei mad. And above all, it’s doubtful that he’ll be able to graduate from the Academy. But Naruto has a dream… A dream that he’ll become the head of the Ninja village, following Hokage and will become the best ninja around.
However, all the adults in the village give Naruto cold looks. The truth is, Naruto has a secret about his birth. 12 years ago, “Kyuubi no Youko” (Nine Tailed Fox - A kind of evil spirit who tormented the village, was sealed within Naruto’s body who was, at the time, a baby. The head of the academy, Mizuki, uses Naruto to steal the “Fuujin Scrolls” and makes Naruto understand his past. Naruto is outraged.
Even with Iruka’s help, Naruto just barely defeats Mizuki. Knowing Naruto’s secret, Iruka knows Naruto will meet someone who’ll help him and so, makes a decision. Naruto is allowed to graduate safely from Ninja Academy. Along with his classmates, Uchiwa Sasuke and Haruno Sakura together, they make their first step as Ninjas!

Thanks again for all the guinea pig advice. Actually, Coco and I sort of bonded over the weekend. Now, she seems to enjoy cuddling in my lap. While I rub her back, she will stretch one of her legs out to the side… it’s such an adorable sight!
I’ll try to snap a photo of her next time. If you have a cavy, you should check out these great sites I stumbled upon: Pet’s Corner (not just guinea pigs!) and Cavy Madness.
My inbox is overflowing!
I’ll try to respond to all my email as soon as possible. Special thanks to Chette and Nadine for my lovely gifts. Thanks also to everyone who commented: Tarah, tuan, Cait, Jenny, Sam, Christine, Mandi, Kara, Chette, Dionne, leila, natasja, Michelle, Charlemange, charlene, Karla, Anneke, Milissa, Erin, isi, Rain, brigitte, Melissa, Mike, and Hillary (email). I’m truly blessed with such great friends!
I’m gonna call it a night. Don’t forget to join Tunapuff and SNOG!

OH NO! Not you too! Naruto is a HUGE hit back in the Philippines. I also took the same quiz and well, I’m Naruto
I love, LOVE anime! I mean, not everything–I’m kinda picky which animes I watch. So far, Sailormoon, YuYu Hakusho and Samurai X made my list. It feels kinda awkward talking about anime when you’re 23 but what the heck??

Yay for your bonding with Coco. Animals are great.
Never heard of Naruto before, but it sounds interesting. Maybe I’ll check it out later.
70 episodes is a lot.
What downloading program thing do you use? I’ve got WinMX and find it’s rather useless. I really love this fishy of yours–>
