LIFE IS SO CRUEL...

How unlucky can you get? Karen-chan lent me 8 episodes of a new anime series Fruits Basket a few days ago. It was about a group of people who when huggled by the opposite sex was turned into a certain Chinese Zodiac animal. It was really cute, funny and interesting. I was instantly hooked. Especially on Shigure-san, who is kind of perverted but is cool, really. *drools* However, my moment of ecstasy was cut after the last episode. "Aaargh! Nani?!? That's all?!?" was my reaction. I want more! I want to watch the remaining 18 episodes! I was so bitin! So, Wowie, Karen and I planned to go to Quiapo to her secret haven of anime VCDs for the low low price of only 25 pesos each. Unfortunately, Karen got sick and our trip got postponed many times also due to other circumstances as well. Imagine the many sleepless nights I suffered envisioning the oh-so-handsome face of my beloved Shi-chan, longing for the day I get to see his lovely face again. A few weeks later, we were finally able to get together and I was all ready to set out and splurge my well-earned money on Fruits Basket the series. I also planned to buy other great anime series as well. I was even envisioning the great and extensive archive I would have, piles and piles of anime VCDs in my room. @_@ I would spend my whole Christmas vacation watching them! Nyahahahahaha!

*e-hem*

So as we rounded the last corner to this wonderful place full of anime VCDs, we were met by lots of people packing away boxes onto this huge truck. We soon realized that the stalls were being raided by the police. We saw the dozens of stalls being emptied out and the boxes of VCDs handed over to be destroyed...never to be watched again. Aaaaarggghhhh, imagine the sinking feeling I got as I witnessed this. What if we arrived about three hours earlier? What if we went last week? What if I tried to jump on the truck and dig in the pile of VCDs and scavenge for the Fruits Basket VCDs? Oh well, that's life. It sucks. T_T
