Bangkok Traffic Love Story

Set along the hustle and bustle of central Bangkok, 30 year old Mei Li approaches the doorsteps of spinsterhood with dread. One day, Mei Li accidently meets Bangkok Transit System eployee Lung, who makes her heart flutter instantly. She wonders to herself why such a cool guy would toil away in a odd night time job, but she also believes he is the ideal man for her. Mei Li then decides to take the iniative for the first time in her life and go after her dream guy. Unfortunately for Mei Lei, she has zero experience in wooing a man and her neighbor Pluen soon takes interest in the same guy!

 I like the part when Li knew that Loong would be going to Germany to study and their relationship started falling apart [not that I like the part of the break-up] but the part where they become mature about their decision to break up and when Li said, “How can two people call each other boyfriend/girlfriend if they’re not together?” and told him that they should just be acquaintances for the meantime. It took her a lot of courage to say that, especially when she like/love Loong, and I admire her for that.

Sometimes, doing the right thing is better than doing what you want because it is in that moment that you become a more mature person, choosing the right thing.

Two people in a relationship doesn’t have to be always have to be together to say that they are together. Sometimes, the distance only adds up their love for each other, although everyday is a day farther from the last time they saw each other, it’s also a day closer to the time they’ll see each other. Love knows no particular time, place and setting, as long as you both love each other, then the relationship can work. :)

It’s a movie where you’d get to see that if you two are really meant for each other, then you’d end up together, even if it means you’d have to be apart for how many years. No matter what happens, fate would still bring the two of you together, at the right time, place and situation, where both of you would be ready. :)

But like normal story lines go, they still end up together after two years. :)

The ending scene was cute,—-while Li was going to work, she accidentally meets Loong on the BTS Skytrain. After a few exchanges of hi and hellos, Li goes downstairs to change to a different line and doesn't look back at Loong. As Li gets in her own train, the electricity runs out. Passengers called their friends/family/girlfriend/boyfriend to say that the train has stopped except for Li, who has no one to call. She seems a little bit sad because she doesn't have someone to call but moments later, her phones rings, showing an unregistered number. Guess who is it? Hmmm. :D Of course it’s Loong! :) He asks her to celebrate Songkran with him, again. Li replies that she’s free for the holidays and when the lights come back on, Loong is on the same Skytrain as Li, he is standing behind Li! :) 

After a few scenes, we see a happy ending for the two of them. :)

[Sorry for some of the spoilers! :DD]

Midori Days (Day 2: Two People's Feelings)

It's day 2. :)



Midori wakes up early the next morning to cook breakfast for Seiji while he’s still sleeping, completely forgetting that she’s attached to Seiji and drags him around the house. (Haha. :D Poor Seiji, he bumps his face on the way down--what a way to start the morning for him--=P)



When Midori opens the ref, she founds note from Seiji's sister telling him to drink the beer (looks to me like a threat. haha. :D ). She gets an egg to start cooking but  ha! it fell on Seiji's head! hahaha! :))



Midori seems to be pretty accustomedalready to being Seiji’s right hand as she helps him put on his right shoe and reminds him not to forget his things. (cute. :) )

As Seiji makes his way to school, Midori pops out with a brand new dress that she made which reads “I love Seiji”. :D She's pretty much proud of what she'd done--she' asks Seiji how does she look and Seiji looks pretty embarassed. Haha. (I'd say he's just shy as well as embarassed---beats me, I'll bet it's the first time he experienced having his name on a girl's t-shirt. XD) 

At school, a rumor had spread that Seiji injured his Devil’s Right Hand when he punched through an incoming Yakuza car. When he entered the classroom, we see that his seat is isolated from the rest of the class, his seat is right beside the window (his classmates probably put it there, to avoid him as much as possible)---he says nothing about this but I'm sure it's quite sad having minimal friends at school coz most of them are afraid of him and his "demon right hand".

Enter his classmate Ayase in the picture--when she enters the classroom, she butts in on two people talking about Seiji's right hand being injured and tells them just to ignore Seiji as she describes him as someone " who thinks beating up people somehow proves that he is a man" and tells him mean things in front of his face and everyone. (You just wait Ayase, soon enough you'd see Seiji's other side and definitely, he'd prove you wrong.  I'm really looking forward seeing your face when you realize how wrong you are in saying those things--I bet you might l in love with Seiji,too. :D) Seiji screamed at Miyahara for spreading such rumors which led to a minor confrontation between a Seiji and Ayase.

During recess, he's on the rooftop and guess who's mad about the current flow of things? Midori of course. :D  She complains on why his classmates would put his desk on the corner of the room like he's some beast and she's annoyed with Ayase. Just then, a group of delinquents from another school came trying to pick a fight with Seiji. Since he is unable to use his right hand, Seiji decides to avoid the delinquents. Ayase stepped up against the delinquents thinking she could handle them like how she handled Seiji earlier, but then one of the delinquents just slapped her and tried to drag her away. (That's for you being a meddler when you should've just stayed away. >_<)



Ayase's obviously shaken and afraid as she's dragged away by the delinquents, no one in the crowd tries to help her as they are afraid of the too. They were just about to reach the school gates when Seiji came to Ayase’s rescue.



Even if his right hand is technically not usable because of Midori, he beated all of them as Ayase stands there with guilt evident in her face. (Don't get me wrong wrong, I'm just annoyed with Ayase because of her earlier behavior, it seems to me like she  judges Seiji just because of the impression that he fights a lot and is a bully at school--without even bothering to know his other side. Maybe it's early for me to be annoyed with her, but still.... :D Maybe that'd change in the next episodes.. Heehee. =) )



When the fight's over, Ayase stammers something like "don't put it in your head--that she wasn't about to thank Seiji for the act" when Seiji cut her short, retorting not to flatter herself, he needed the excercise anyway. ( ha. Seiji sure knows how to retort on someone's nasty comment. Why can't she just thank him?XD I wonder.. :D)

After school, Seiji, depsite being injured by the encounter earlier, had planned to try going to Midori’s house again. They found a note in his locker telling him about the challenge, and found himself heading off to save Miyahara who was kidnapped by a bunch of delinquents.

As Ayase was going through the locker room, he notices some teared up paper lying in front of Seiji's locker and she picked it up, sensing trouble.

She saw what Seiji was up to and decided to chase up to give him a piece of her mind about fighting.

Seiji arrived at the designated place, but eventhough the gang started to beat him badly (poorr Seiji. :() he did not fight backwhich eventually bored them away. They untied Miyahara and left the scene.  When Miyahara asked why he didn’t fight back, Seiji replied that its so that the delinquents would no longer go to their school and bother anyone. Miyahara was so touched that he started crying and told Seiji how great a friend he is. Ayase overheard this and was touched. (See Ayase? :D Seiji is gooooood and has a soft spot in him. :) )

The next day, ayase moved her desk next to Seiji and explained her way through it. Haha. (I'll bet she's starting to like him. :P)

Seiji and Midori ended going to Midori’s mansion after school the next day. The maid was about to turn Seiji away again but Midori’s mother recognized Seiji from the many pictures Midori kept in her music box and invited him in. --------Turns out Midori’s real body was in a coma.

(Ohmo. Haha. If this happens in real life I'm sure I'll go nuts, hahahaha. Where'd you find somebody in a coma but turned out that the person in the coma is in you right hand?!? :D)

Seiji suggested that Midori try and make contact with her real body and see if she would return to normal, but when he pulled back the blanket they both realized that Midori’s real body wasn’t wearing any clothes. Both of them are embarrassed, Seiji closed his eyes and stretch his right arm out so Midori is range of her body.



As Midori bumps into her boobs, her mother and maid returned and saw what appears to be Seiji taking advantage of a comatose Midori. (Haha. What a great timing. =P) It's quite funny seeing how Seiji tried to explain himself, saying that he isn't a pervert and seeing an army of angry maids chasing after Seiji.

Midori Days (Day 1: Right Hand Girlfriend) :)

 

So this will be my first ever recap of an anime/manga. :D

Hope you guys will like this, though I think I'm not much of a recap person, I just want to share recaps from my favorite mangas/ animes that I've read, am reading, and will be reading. I won't make this introduction long. I'll start with Midori Days---this was aired I think when I was still in high school, but still, I love it all  the same--up until now. :D (Reminds me of a code name I used for someone. Haha. Ohwell. :D)

(A/N: All images and dialogues are owned by the author him/herself.)

Seiji Sawamura is the toughest student in his high school. His grades aren't very good because he fights more than he studies, but he tends to protect the weaker students from bullies. A few classmates idolize him; one (Midori Kasugano from a different school) shyly loves him from afar; but most are just afraid of him, which has made it impossible for him to find a girlfriend. In desperation, he says to himself that he will grow old with only his right hand as his companion — until one morning when he wakes up to find a living miniature of a girl in his right hand. TAKE NOTE:  not just any girl—Seiji's new appendage is none other than Midori! :)

 Will Seiji ever get his right hand back? More importantly, how will he carry out his daily activities? Will a love story blossom between these two completely different person? :)



Day 1: Right Hand Girlfriend

The first scene was of Midori at the train station, waiting for the train to arrive. And then we see her looking over at Seiji when the train arrives and he walks past her,, with her calling his name silently to herself.

We see Seiji in a secluded parking lot confronting a gang leader who holds his buddy as captive.. And ooof! the fight  begins between him and the gang members and of course, he wins, thanks to his "devil right hand". Awesome! (haha. yah right. :D Seiji gets to be the hero that he is. :P)

In the manga, there's this opening words from the the main character of the manga, Seiji Sawamura, talking to himself: What is it that every student needs in order to get through the grind of high school life? Is it sports? A good hobby? Those things are okay, but for me, there's something far more important--and that is---- a GIRLFRIEND. (:D)

We see him being rejected as he confesses his love for a girl. (Aww. Poor Seiji. :/)





And he is introduced as a character, a 17 year old junior high school student having no girlfriend for 17 years and 2 months to be exact. :D He also says that he has been turned down by girls 20 times straigh. Ouch. :D

 Its quite funny that everywhere he looks, he see couples anywhere--holding hands, smiling, with heart-shapes and doing couple-things. Haha.

He seems frustrated that up until now, he still doesn't have a girlfriend..

Just as he was being frustrated in his room for not having a girlfriend, a girl suddenly appeared on his right hand.

(Bwahaha! Talk about having a girl in your right hand sure would freak anyone out.:D)

Neither could come up with how Midori ended up as Seiji’s right hand. Midori then introduces herself as someone who's had a crush on him for the longest time,

 (It's quite adorable seeing Midori make an innocent confession and still manages to be cute at the same time, laughing to herself how she could even say those things. haha. :D)

                                          Seiji brought Midori to her place and was shocked at her huge mansion. Seiji rang the bell, pretending to be a friend of Midori but was quickly turned away by the maid, saying that the young mistress had left on urgent business.

Then, two girls claiming to be fans of Seiji approached his buddy aka bestfriend Miyahara. Miyahara,( excited much! :D hahaha. ) called seiji to tell him the good news---and Seiji went home that instant.

Seiji thought he hit the jackpot with the two girls that will be arriving soon--- he even invited the two girls in when they arrived, without Miyahara.  After a while, one of the girls asked to be excused to go to the washroom, and while the other girl distracted Seiji, the first girl tried to attack him from behind with a wooden sword. (Meanies! >_< )

Turns out that those girls are bitches, who are angry with Seiji because he beated up their boyfriends, and now they're seeking revenge.

Grr. >_< Those girls sure are nasty and meaaan!

Midori saw this and jumped out to block the attack, smashing the wooden sword in the process.

When Seiji realizes that its his right hand/ Midori that saved him from the hit, he ignores the girls momentarily and talks to his hand/Midori---but got no answer from her. Reality hit Seiji as he frantically tries to remove the bandage to see if Midori was ok, totally ignoring the two girls.

I love how he looks so worried because it shows that even though he's practically seen as a bully, he still has a soft spot in him. :)

Seiji was so worried and frustrated that he couldn't remove the bandage in his hands and see if Midori is alright so he picked up a knife, looking all scary, and scared the girls away. Seiji used the knife to remove the bandage and was glad that Midori was alright.

And.....

My favorite lines before the end of episode 1:

Remember when Seiji told Midori not to say a word and she promised she won't whatever happens? It's quite touching that even if Midori would get herself hurt for taking the hit, she didn't even say a single word. That's what made Seiji touched too. :) (Oh yeah. It's his first time feeling that someone---take note: a girl--shows a care for him and thus begins this conversation:

Midori: At least I kept my promise..

Seiji: Promise?

Midori: A word... I didn't say a word...

(The scene where Midori tells him that she's had a long-time crush on him flashes in his mind..)

Seiji: You know, I don't even know your name..

Midori: Midori. I'm Midori Kazukano.

Seiji: Look, Midori. From now on, if we're on a situation like that, you can break your promise. Speak up and let me know what's going on.

Midori: Uhm.. yeah...But what if somebody finds out?

Seiji: I don't care. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. No secret is worth keeping if it means somebody will get hurt especially a girl. Even if you're my right hand now, you're still a girl and I have to protect you. (Daaaaaang. :D )

Midori: (She's toooooched! :D Who wouldn't? haha.)  She squeals in delight and say "I LOOOOOOOVE YOU!!!" to Seiji. :)

And then we see Midori writing in her diary, summing up what happened for the day. :)

(Makes me remember my high school days, when I also kept a diary for 2 years, like what Midori is keeping track of---her moments with her crush. Haha. :D Now that I remember it, it just makes me laugh and smile, knowing how I used to get kilig easily. XD)

Ohwell. Done with episode 1! :)
