Kimi Ni Shika Kikoenai

Author: Otsuichi
Artist: Kiyohara Hiro
English: Nobody Can Hear Me But You
Summary: A timid schoolgirl who is isolated by everyone, doesn't own a cellphone because no one would call her anyway. So she imagines owning a cellphone in her head, but one day, there is a connection -- the phone rings, and someone is on the line!

Sad but such a refreshing story. It's really recommended if you want to read it. So heart-touching. I really love the plot. I'm not crying physically, but deep inside I cried. I wish it was a happy ending though. But if it is happy ending, it's not that breath-taking, right? LOL. One of the best manga that I've read.

Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls

Summary: Sam Oliver McQueen is an eleven-year-old child, terminally ill with leukaemia, who, during one of his special education sessions decides to write a book about his life. In the book he talks about his life while being ill, the things he'll remember when he dies and, in a section called "Things I want to do", Sam makes numerous lists of questions. With the help of his teacher and friend Felix Stranger (who is also ill with cancer), they conduct various experiments, Sam and Felix break world records (including the world's smallest night club).

I read this book when I was in 7th or 8th grade in junior high. I thought that this book was based on a true story because I remembered when I was going to buy this book, I heard some of people talked about it, but no, it was realistic fiction. Yes, it was sad. Especially the part when Felix died. Things just got miserable in the end. Oh yeah, I read this in Indonesian Language, because I can't find the English one. In Indonesian, the titled is Setelah Aku Pergi or in English: After I'm Gone. The cover was a bit more calmer than the English version, don't you think?

Perfect Girl Evolution by HAYAKAWA Tomoko

Summary: After confessing to her first love, Sunako Nakahara is left broken-hearted and her confidence sinking after being called "ugly" by the boy she likes. Two years later, Sunako Nakahara, the agoraphobic, horror-movie-loving, pockmark-faced, frizzy-haired, fashion-illiterate recluse who tends to break into explosive nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone attractive, is sent to her aunt's mansion filled with gorgeous looking boys. The deal is, if the boys can turn Sunako into a perfect lady in three years, their rent to the mansion will be free. The problem is Sunako doesn't want to change... How will they be able to accomplish this deal now????

My most time favorite manga! A bit contain nude, but funny. I eager to see romance between Sunako and Kyouhei. I like they way they are though, but why they're still don't realized it. They already kissed, went on dates, and so on. I can not hate this manga.. The jokes are suitable for me, and the arts are good, I like all the characters. The manga is still on going, but when I saw on Wikipedia, it's written that they have 31 volumes. I don't want this manga to end that quickly! But I don't know why this manga called The Wallflower and I prefer the manga than the anime too (I haven't watch the anime, though). The chibi Sunako is cute, but I want to see her "normal" self more. :D

Mahou Sensei Negima! by AKAMATSU Ken

English: Magic Teacher Negima!                                                               
Summary: Ten-year-old prodigy Negi Springfield, has just graduated from magic academy, and in order to become a master mage he is sent to Japan to teach English at an all-girls middle school. But Negi has a bigger dream than just becoming a master mage. He wants to find his missing father, "The Thousand Master", the strongest mage that has ever lived. And he soon finds that searching for his father wont be as easy as he first hoped. In fact, it pushes him and his students into life-or-death battles that decides the fate of millions.

I don't how should I put this. I like the manga, but there are something that still missing. I'm curious who's Negi ended up with and about Negi's mother, Arika. I presume that his mother is already died a long time ago. I was sad when Asuna is already back because she slept for over a hundred years, if you read this, you know how I feel. But yeah, I'm still really, really curious about who's ended up with Negi... So many questions that left unanswered. The art is wonderful, I prefer read the manga than the anime. And I hate it because this manga is already over. I like to have a sequel, but that would be weird, I guess.

Atma's Kitchen


It's been a while since I haven't post anything, it's because of my internet connection is really slow at night. On Tuesday, my friends and I are going to go for a dinner (or breakfasting) after the end of the courses. So, I suggest to eat at Atma's Kitchen, because it's near from our courses (if you lived in Jakarta, especially South Jakarta or more specific, Tebet, maybe you have heard of BTA. So this is the place:

 I googled this

I googled this too

Yes, the places is small, but it's really comfy there. And because I have been there twice and there are not many people go to this place, I always get the feeling that this place is ours, LOL. Btw, this place got healthy foods, so don't worry about what you are consuming when you are eating at Atma's Kitchen. I ordered fish (dory fish) and mash potato, strawberry olio.


And after that I ordered carrot cake, but I took it home because I already full and currently, I'm on diet, haha.

it's small, but taste is not really bad

About the food, the food is good, okay. The price is not really that expensive, I guess. But I can't say that for the drink that I just ordered. The carrot cake cost Rp 10,000/each, and I bought two, I forgot the price of the food that I ordered, but if I remember correctly, I think it's about Rp 36,500 or Rp 28,000, the strawberry olio is Rp 25,000. Why don't you come for a visit.



Atma's Kitchen
Jl. Tebet Timur Raya No. 5, Jakarta Selatan

Everyday, between 7am until 10pm

BULLY Scholarship Edition (Video Game)


Most played games. I played Bully on Wii, on Wikipedia, it is said that there are more missions, characters and what so ever than on PlayStation 2. Since I don't have PlayStation 2, I didn't notice about it, but I have one, because PlayStation 2 have more games than any other PlayStation or Xbox or Wii, LOL. What I like about Bully is because the background is at school, and most of the students are rebel type. Jimmy (the main protagonist) can steal bikes or even a scooter (this is funny). The minus is that this game is really short! The plot is really short, I need more. And, the final was too easy, Gary (the main antagonist) is really weak at fighting, gaahhh.
I wish Rockstar Games will make another Bully 2 or something. Because this game is really cool, and I love to listen to the music theme. My favorite character is Johnny Vincent from the Greasers, he is the leader. There are many cliques: Greasers, Preppies, Jocks, Bullies, NerdsTownies (or more like the Dropouts) and the last is Non-Clique. Oh yea, this game is also have controversy among parents. But parents are fine with it, haha.

Some more pictures:



Yes, he's Johnny Vincent, the one who's in the front.
