♪ GetBackers OST - 21 - Even if You are in the Distance ♪
I got HNG 74 and 75!! ^______^ I wuv wuv wuv BT!!! :333 From a link at this place's tagboard. *_* Yesh! I finally get to see it~~~
Torrents can be found here.
There's also a HnG Special Episode. (Torrent file also at above link.) If anyone read the manga.. This ep is the little omake chappie in vol 18 of the manga. It's about Sai and Hikaru's time when Hikaru was still a newbie at go. Hikaru broke Kaga's teacup while playing baseball, and had to find a new cup for him. So Hikaru and Sai set out to find teacups. They came across a scheming ojisan in an antique store, played some amazing go (Sai played thru Hikaru of course ^^), and won back a family treasure for a little girl. Good ep, good series! ^__^ It's a nice wrap up for the end of the series after ep 75. Me happy~ and satisfied~ and has the closure I needed~ :3
Finally~~ Happy sigh~~~ ^^
Licenses: Now, the only series I don't want licensed is Prince of Tennis. Well.. not until the chibi ep 87-88 is released in fansub at least. ^^;; I want to see Tenipuri chibis~ General consensus around the net is that the ep is very funny and cute. XD So me can't wait!
Good thing there aren't much rumours regarding Tenipuri. So far, I think it's still a fan speculation. But.. you never know, since it's that time of the year again. It's summer. It's Anime Expo. So one just has to pay attention and watch out! ^^;;
But then.. Tenipuri fansubs releases ARE getting slower these days.. Wonders why.. Let's hope it's just a matter of lack of good release bots/servers. ^^; Another series that may or may not get licensed, and that I'm interested in, is GetBackers. I think someone said the manga is licensed. So, anime could likely follow. Umm.. about this, I'm a bit okay with it, if it does get licensed. Since I don't follow it through and through. I just watch by recommendation. Buuut.. Let's just hope it won't get licensed yet! ^^;; They should wait and wait and wait until the series' done in Japan, and for the fansubs to finish as well! :33 Always! ^^;; Call me cheap or anything.. I'd gladly pay for the official version IF I have the ability (ie: $$) to, but I don't (/DVD??? >_<). I don't even have enough money for school! And I'm sure, it's a pain for a lot of ppl to have to wait months and months for the eps you want to see to be released on DVD. Especially with long series like HikaGo, Tenipuri, GetBackers.
In other news:
Hope her compy is going to be okay soon. Having virus is never a good thing. >_< And seems like everything's been stressful for her lately.. Cheer up soon ne~
And you too! *chases the blues out the window for ya* What went wrong with the archiving? >_< And me think it's only natural that they pay more attention to their new mangas. Who doesn't want to start with a bang? Plus Shounen Magazine is a weekly magazine, as opposed to Asuka, which is monthly. So they have to spend more time on getting the new series out. They were probably neglecting X to prepare for the XXXholic and Tsubasa tankoubun(sp?), which will be out soon. (And to prolong the X lifeline too ^^;;) So now that they're done fussing over these 2 new series, maybe they'll get back to feed some X fans? ^^;; Me thinks everything will be out in due time. ^^;;
New X illustration goods?? Is it an Asuka furoku? or mail-in goods? ^^;; Just from the sound of it, I want to see the bag! And I'll want to see the phonecard too! If it has new art that is. ^^;;
Hmm.. That's it for me this time. Bai for now~
♪ Cass Pang - Love cannot be controlled ♪
I see what you mean. ^^;; I've only read the first 2 chapers. From what I have read, it's really not that dark ^^;; I guess I feel that while the things the witch asks for in return must mean a great deal to the person, since it is their "most" precious. However, I think, it is also something that the person is willing to give up in order to get that wish of theirs. Like Shaoran's in Tsubasa. In a way, it is something important in exchange for something important. I really don't think it's that dark or not worth it..
In other anime news:
Hikaru no Go is licensed! TT_TT *cries* both manga and anime ;-; Now I'll never get to see the last 2 eps. Why oh why????? I've known the anime since it's beginning.. and all I wanted was to get some closure (and comfort) by watching the ending of the anime, so to commemorate the ending of the manga as well. But now I'll never see the end. I'll never see Sai leaves in anime style. ;_; I so loved that part of the manga, and I've been waiting and waiting for that in the anime. But now I'll never see it. Since the fansubbers took a reeeally long time in between the last few eps. >.< Just 2 more eps left, which are the climax of Sai's departure.. Unless I hunt down the raws... which is not likely, since I don't want to go on WinMX to find and get them. ;_;
Sayonara Hikaru~ I think I'll see you in manga~ Have to get the last volume when it's out this fall! And I also wonder what that yomikiri in the summer is about. Don't seem to hear any news of that at all.. So it's either not out yet, or people have already forgotten about HnG ;-;
Anyway, I'm sad.. not happy.. and I'll stay that way for a little while... Ja..
♪ the rain outside ♪
YAY!!! After the extreme heat wave of the last few days.. There's rain! Finally!! And thunderstorm too! Me likes me likes :33 Hope the power won't get cut off while I'm doing something on the comp. ^^;;
I've been waiting for this for so long! Rain! ^_^ It was just way too hot and sunny. My arms are in different colours from having to drive under the sun too much. Good thing this thunderstorm is here, give some moisture to the plants outside. So I don't have to go water them. :33
Anyway, this is just another random post! ^^;; Hope the weather will stay cool like this. :D Ja~
♪ Get Backers - Born Again (Ginji) ♪
Well.. Sakura losing her wings thus her memories, and is now unconscious.. If that's not a tragedy, what is? o.O;;; Of course, I didn't feel sad or pain or become depressed over it. However, it IS a tragic event, which Tsubasa is basing on.
XXXholic is darker eh? Hmm.. I would say it is mysterious, and there are little bits of hints here and there that make you think.. But not necessarily more darker and more serious. I think.. it's kinda like Lawful Drugs. Working the humour of everyday life (of the characters) into the mysteries of their (not yet known) past.
Style: Umm.. Though in a pretty-ness sense, Mokona's art is better, I personally still like Nekoi's over Mokona's. Like I said, it's not because who has a fancier style, which seems to be the reason you like Mokona's over Nekoi's. I don't deny that Mokona is generally better skilled in many aspects (like those you mentioned: details, shades, layers, colours, tones, folds, etc). I'm just saying that Nekoi's is more the style I like. ^^;; And of course, the humour and less-flashy-ness add to it too. ^^ As for their art evolving closer together... No, I wouldn't say that. It's more like Mokona is changing, little by little. Nekoi's still very recognizable. But Mokona's.. It seems to me she may be altering it a bit to fit the shounen style. The art in Tsubasa seems less fancy, rougher and more catered to boys. No a lot of girly-ness. ^^;; I don't know if you understand what I mean... XD On the otherhand, Nekoi seems to just be perfecting her style, getting more used to it, rather than changing. Know what I mean? ^^;;;
And I still stand by my belief that both artists contribute to the character designs of Tsubasa (and Chobits too). Because some characters are very un-Mokona like, and some very like. My personal guess, like I said before, is still the same as always.. Nekoi does quite a number of guys there, and Mokona does pretty much all the girls... That's the way I see it. ^^;; Of course it is very likely that I'm wrong.. But I don't think just one of them work on everything.. the style doesn't show it.. :x
WinMX: My source of frustration. T_T Another unfinished file, another piece of junk on my computer... *cries*
BL: I've become selective. XD I don't read or like the ones I can't stand the art of. That's normal right? And also, I hesitate to read new authors that I've never heard of.. even thou they are opportunites for me to discover new artists. XD And I wish I know how/where to buy BL manga in HK, and the mean ($$, plane ticket, time) to do so. XD Coz I realize that there are these types of manga translated in chinese. XDD So I can finally understand them. But! Learning Jp is better I think. Since not all titles are translated into chinese, just like other shoujos and shounens. And it's hard to find places to buy chinese manga. o.O I tried finding, but all I've come across are manga rental stores that carry *some* titles only. Not a lot of selections avaliable. Maybe they don't exist o.O or maybe I just didn't look hard enough. Most likely the latter, since the former is highly doubtful.
That's it for me this time. Ja~
♪ Fruits Basket OST2 - Serenade (Pf Solo Ver.) ♪
Thanx for the info Aoi~~
From the little that I have read about Tsubasa, I thought they're already in their first world ^^;; The one where Sorata and Arashi are a couple. ^^; So, is that just an in-between-worlds dimension that they're travelling in before they get to another world? ^^;;
And more on Tsubasa. You said you like the characters more than the story. I somewhat agree with you, only on the bases that I find myself looking forward to finding out who the next CLAMP cross-over character would be. So, in a way, I'm more interested in the characters. ^^;; Story-wise.. I've only read 3 chaps, so not much could be commented about that, only that I'm still wondering where CLAMP wants to take the story.
I think story-wise, I like XXXholic more, only read 2 chaps, but I like its weirdness. ^^;; And it's main characters are new. Not like in Tsubasa, where the main charas are AUs of CCS. Also, in some way, it has to do with the fact that Nekoi draws it. I like her style, more so than Mokona's. XD It's not in terms of who has a more.. say.. fancier style. It's just something with the eyes, and humour, and flat-ish, or plain-ness, and simple/clear lines of Nekoi's work that seem more the kind of style/form of manga I like. I recently took a look at some Suki Dakara Suki art, and I found her style improved A LOT since then. Compared to Lawful Drugs, you can see how her style has grown. It's still plain (flat-washes of tone) compared to Mokona's, but it's not as plain as before, now is more umm.. modernise I think. Things are better porportionised; style seems more matured. Like she has more confidence in her art now. No longer an amateur artist, like they were doujinshi-ka before. Wish is like an in-between (or mixed) representation of the old and new style. ^^
Anyway, I think I've strayed from my original point, but.. yeah.. I like XXXholic more. ^^ I like the eerieness weirdness of it, and the humour! That's another thing.. Nekoi's stories tends to mix lots of humour in something serious.. and I like that. :D So yes, that must be it on why I like XXXholic more. :D Tsubasa starts right off from a tragedy. ^^;; It's hard having to anticipate and get emotionally involved in their journey of reaching their goal.
On something else:
■ WK: I haven't watched up to that one yet XD I stopped at ep 8 and didn't see any since then.. But I keep getting it thou, so I'll watch it someday. XD About the end being too quick.. I guess that's what's expected anyway, since they have to wrap up the anime in the next episode. And you may be right about Farfarello. From my impression, there's only a tiny little scene/flash with him in it. Which, in a way, could be to show that Schwartz is still around and well even after the first WK anime.
■ HP-ness: Like I said on IRC, you won't know who died.. until you actually read the book to find out. Or that you ask or have someone explicitly confirm it for you. All you're doing is speculating, thinking, analyzing.. all without any facts to support it.. since you haven't even read the book. XD You're doing the guessing based on your interpretation/imagination of the surrounding of that line.. If you really want to find out whether you've been spoiled, go to a bookstore, take a copy of Ha-ri Po-ta (trust me, there are PLENTY left on the shelves, I went by a bookstore today XD), hide in the back of the store and read the last 2 chapters. XD Better do this in Chapters or Indigo. XD They have chairs and magazine reading areas XDD.
But anyway, even thou that's BAD XD.. (for both the bookstore and the reader(you)) That's the best way to find out without having to buy the book and still leaving 90% of the book unread, so you can read it, enjoy it later. XD
■ Yes, I'm the Queen of Weird(and Cheap!) Ideas. :33 Mwahaha. :3
■ HP Geek-ness: Yes, I believe there's a competition of who finishes first, so they can be the first to know what happen, and to tell the world they've done/achieve something others haven't done/achieved yet. It's a snobbish-ness that's hidding in everybody (me thinks ^^;). I have that tendency too, so it's not surprising that kids have that too. Only that the kids are still young, they're not aware of this inner-competitive-ness. XD Thou, I also have to say, some ARE really big HP fans.. who've anticipated the new book for so long, so you can't blame them for getting excited, or hyping up the significance of it. Again, juuust like Matrix:R-ed. ^^; And I think the hype is good. ^^ It gets children reading.. and just think about it, how long has it been since there's a book that all/many children like? Since.. umm.. Anne of Green Gables? or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Don't you think it's a good thing that there's a children classic like HP (coz I do think it's going down the classics' road ^^;) in this age? ^^;;
Hmm.. but you're not the classics book type of person, so I don't know how or what you would think of my question...
But yes, your reaction to it is normal too.. It's like eating a piece of chocolate.. you savour because you like and make it last. It's not to say that those who read the book in one night are not going to savour it. I think they're savouring it in another way. Like re-reading parts they like over and over again, and picking up new thoughts, inspirations with each read. Make sense? I'm a bit like that when it comes to reading. I read fast ^^ To soak up all the information first(and to get to the ending too! to see how everything's resolved in the end), then I go re-read the parts I like and go through them slowly to enjoy them more thoroughly the next and next time around. It's just a different approach you know? Personally, I can't read slowly the first time around if the story is grabbing and interesting. I'll always want to know what happen next first. Then, when I finish, if I still like how everything's turned out, I'll go re-read and re-read. ^^
And.. Haha.. I'm not even finished the first chapter of the first book. So I'm not even a fan! XD I don't know if your strategy is good or not, but if it works for you, go with it! XD It won't work on me thou.. After I watched the movie.. I kinda lost interest in reading the book, since I already know what happened.. in an abbreviated version. XD For HP, I'm only there for the story. XD As far as knowing the story is concerned, I don't prefer one medium(like: movie, or short summaries) over another(like: book). Still making sense? ^^;;
some old stuffs:
■ fanarts: I hide my drawings too :D They're too distorted and uuugly :-: They're all sitting in the closed pages of my sketchbook. XD As well as in loose pieces of scrap paper all over the room, hiding in places that will never see the light of day. XD
■ cleaning is bad: Yes it is! coz you have to move and tidy everything.. speaking of which.. I need to grab hairballs off the carpet again :-: and get meself more boxes!
■ I had a dream (thx goodness twas' no nightmare XD) about how to write this particular entry. XD
■ preference of LJ over Blog: beats me too *shrug* >.> I don't like LJ coz it's slow loading often.. and it doesn't give you much control in layout design. That's why I chose pitas. Tis has no ads or banners. Everything is self made and simple.
■ being bombarded with popup windows are not freaky o.o; It's annoying! unless you were talking about some x.x.x popups... :X
Like I said, I had a dream after I wrote my last entry, like how I would write this response.. freaky o.o;; But that must be due to me being nervous of my driving exam. I think uni screwed me over. --;; Everytime I have an exam now, I get anxiety attacks, no matter what kind of exam it is. It just puts pressure on me to make sure I pass. And I'm always thinking that I won't pass.. since I make so many mistakes all the time.. --;;
I think I need to calm down and relax.. and yes.. be better prepared too. So I can get my confidence up again. They've been down since.. :x .. uni started. :-:
■ download: I got a new BL drama again. XD And I was able to get part of a Koucha Ouji drama, but my connection timed out on WinMX, and I wasn't there to restart it immediately.. so I didn't get to resume it. *cries* This happened twice! To 2 different files. One happened in the morning, coz I was still sleeping. The other happened this afternoon, while I was out with mom. So the persons with the file left, and I'm stuck with 2 files that's unfinished. The first one, I only need 4mb to finish. *cries* and it's a 104mb file too. So I'm stuck with a 100mb piece of junk right now.. until I can get it resumed. Another one.. which is the Koucha Ouji one.. is a little better, I only got 8mb of the 60+mb file, so the piece of junk left over isn't that big.
But still.. *sigh* I really really want Koucha Ouji stuffs. >_< And then! I came across a Lagoon Engine Christmas Special! You know what Lagoon Engine is right? Anyway, even though I don't know what it's about, or how this special become available to the public, just like my situation with the DNAngel Legend of Vampire CD, I still want it! >< I want to hear cute-ness!! Since it's done by Sugisaki Yukiru! :-:
This is what happens on WinMX, you see stuffs you want, but can't get them, coz you have nothing worthwhile to trade them with. T_T Most of the ppl with the files I want already have EVERYTHING I have.. since my collection is so so small. Can never compare to the big guys ya know? T_T I don't think I'll ever get to have them. Oh well.. Let's just see if I can find enough money to get the new DNAngel Illustration book "FEDER" that's coming out soon. At least that will make me a bit happier.. ^^;; But kikiwai is SO overpriced ~_~
Go to the DNAngel webbie. Link is also under "rocks" --->. They just recently changed wallpagers. Go to the tag "PUREZENTO" written in Katakana. It's the 3rd one from left in the bottom row. Fill in the form, and you'll be led to a page with links to the wallpapers. :D Me thinks the lighter one of the two shown is pretty nice~ :3 So go get it! :DD
Anyway, I think this entry is long enough. And I'm very very tired.. so me go now..
*tired sound* niiiight... zzz
♪ Getbackers OST - 14 - Dubious Answer ♪
I've been meaning to say this.. I feel cheated. Cheated by the girl who asked for things in return for zip password. Remember the entry earlier about scans? That girl. You know how I wasn't happy/alright with the way she's asking for contributions. And I have another rant today. Don't know if I told you this, but to get the password, I did do a fairly decent sketch/scribble that I think would be considered as fanart. So I sent it to her, expecting that I would get the password sometime later. That was about 3 weeks ago. And still, no password. --;; Granted, she did say she is busy with exams in her message board. So, I was just thinking that she missed seeing my mail. So I wrote on her message board asking for the password, hoping that she would see it, and reply, saying whether she hasn't gotten the mail, or other things... But no! No reply to that also. -.-;; I feel I'm being ignored... Although, I'll admit, the way I wrote was kinda rude (all the other posts are nice). Coz I wasn't happy when I wrote it. I can't make myself to sound happy when I'm not. But still... -__-;; So, I added a little new post yesterday, asking for a reply. When I checked it just now.. Again. Nothing. ~_~
The thing that finally made me want to rant about this, is that I saw her replying to posts AFTER mine! As if she didn't see my post.. but all the posts on the same day has a little marker "new" next to them.. I assume she has to see it. But nothing came.. -__-; So, I feel snubbed, ignored, and yeah, cheated. I don't know why I even bother. --;; Maybe she did saw the sketch and posts and found it laughable, so ignore ignore.. -_-;;
It's making me feel bad (not guilty-bad, but self-esteem-lowering-bad). And combined with some (nothing big, but unpleasant to me) recent net interactions, I find myself thinking more and more annoyed with people. Considering that I'm already a bit anti-social.. I'm just afraid I'll grow annoyed to a point that I end up not wanting to intereact with ppl AT ALL. And I already found myself growing more and more rude these pass few days, and thinking bad of ppl. And you already know how rude I am normally. Remember how I said I was very mean, and you said I wasn't? Well.. I can't believe that :x I want to, but I can't. Coz I AM mean.. and I can't change it ;-; And again, I want to change too, just not able to. I try to be nice, and reasonable most of time, don't know how successful I was at it.. But after sometimes... I would think I'm just acting nice, and then I relax and all these rants and rude-ness come out..
Anyway, back to the manga thing, I don't think I'll be bothered with it anymore. Since I will be getting the actual tankoubun itself when it's published. Screw the scans.. Just one less thing for me to download anyway. Good for the health of my small HD.
To address something else:
■ Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle: Hmm.. I like how the name sounds. Hehe ^^ I've got scans of the first 3 chapters, got it from a friend of mine on IRC, I'll send them to you when I see you next. I also have some XXXholic. I think I have a link somewhere to download it too, so I'll also give you next time (if I find it again that is). As for Tsubasa download.. I actually don't know where to download this one.. o.O; since so many ppl are/were trying to scanlate it. I got confused. I could ask someone thou...
Oh! one more thing! what's "hanshin"? the place they're at?
■ fic slowdown: I know what you mean. ^^ I've experienced that before too. But I find that, I like those fic more and more with each chapter. Maybe it's the building up of tension that drives me going, wanting to read the next part. I think I like that style of setting up the story. But it of course has to have some good writing, and pairings and plots I like. ^^;
■ more on fics: A fic I like just finished! And! And! The ending didn't disappoint!! My gosh! It's so good. :D I was dreading that the ending would be this one pairing that I don't favour (in the fic only, I like that pairing just fine on it's own :P), coz I felt that it didn't fit, or, maybe I just don't like it. XD But! It didn't go that way! It ended with the pairing I rooted for. And it was wrapped up so nicely that.. it's just soo good! :33
■ Harry Potter: Oooohh... Ha-ri Po-ta... How long will it be over? I know! Until the next big thing! XD It's always like that with trends/hype/fads... XDD I'm not implying that HP is just a tread.. But it was really hyped up. Just like the Matrix: R-ed. ^^;; So.. expect HP craze to die down in about.. say.. 2 or 3 weeks. I perdict. ^^ Since it is a blog problem you've encountered... It's a tendency for people to write about it while it's hot, so, after a while, I would guess that not a lot ppl will write about HP anymore. ^^; Buuut... if they do write at that point, you'll have to be EXTRA careful of spoilers thou. Coz they would expect or think ppl have already finished reading. So, the best thing, me thinks, is to go buy the book and read it now. ^^;
Although, I don't think I want to know who die. Even though I'm not a HP fan. I kinda want to keep this element unknown in my head... So I can feel like I want to read HP later. ^^;;; Buuut! This mentality will last until the 6th book. I'll most likely want to know who died just before the 6th come out. Weird me.. ^^;;;
There's still some more things I want to address.. in relation to some of your old entries.. so don't archive yet.. ^^;;;
Yup! I'll say some more later! Right now I have to go to sleep. Have driving exam tomorrow! G2! Want to pass!

A little update: changed the style of link hovering.
Coz I didn't like the colour before, so now I change to something else. I'm still not very satisfied with it. But it'll have to do, since I can't think of anything else right now. ^^;;
And this layout works in Netscape! XD well, Netscape 6 + over I guess.. Not sure about older versions of NS >D The only thing that doesn't work is the text decoration filters, since that is a Macrohard(inverted!) thing.. so you can only be sure that it works on IE.

Hmm... does this layout look girly? This thought just struck me right now. Somehow I find it a bit girly as a whole with the kind of dull pink/red I feature. It's not a bad thing.. ^^;; Just a little odd. Since I tend to go for the cool/cold colours of the spectrum. :D But anyway, warm colours are nice too :DD
And I've been on a downloading spree again! >_< I shouldn't be, knowing the smallest of my HD... -.- But I just couldn't resist! XD So now... I'm the proud owner (well, I don't OWN them per se... XD) of a few drama CDs! CDs that I can't understand but want anyway, since I like the series. XD
Let's see... there's 2 BL drama CDs :3 I hope I can follow them by looking at the manga XD. There's the new Hanakimi CD. Listen to it last night. :D A DNAngel CD called "A Legend of Vampire". I don't know what that one's about.. I think it's a gift thing only to readers of Asuka and DNAngel. Like a Mail-In gift kinda thing... or Mail-In goods for sale only to Asuka & DNAngel readers. OR! A CD that's only for sale in Japan. Many possibilities! o_o Yet no clue of where it comes from. XD Since I can't find it on sale commercially. *sigh* ^^;; I also got GetBackers dramas, haven't listened to it yet. ^^;;
While that's a lot of dramas for me to listen to... I'm STILL on the look out for more! *dies* XD Well, not too much ^^;; Just Koucha Ouji, and Skip Beat!. They are 2 series also published in the magazine that Hanakimi serializes in. Koucha Ouji has 3 CDs that I know of. And Skip Beat! has 1 since the series is still quite new.
*Sighing* Haa... But I'll probably never get to hear them... these 2 series are pretty unknown.. to readers over here anyway.. And even on the net or winmx, I've only seen 2 ppl with Koucha Ouji CDs. 1 has just 1 and the other has all 3. And no one even have the Skip Beat! CD... :/
But anyway! I'll have an ear-ful just trying to listen to the CDs I have right now. So all's good. XD
There should be something else I wanted to say.. But I couldn't seem to remember. The heat must be numbing my brain. (30゜C and over!!) I need some rain... !!! It's just tooo hot here ;_;

Anyway, this is just a random post! Joining the craze that is Ha-ri Po-ta. :33 If you have the book, go enjoy the read!

Yay! New layout! Tis' a product of one night ^_^ I like it!! Even though it's not as nice as other ones like these. ^^;; Buuuut! This is the best I can do. ^^; Coding is still extremely simple. Everything is done with divs. I still can't figure out tables. But I got to play around with Photoshop! and learn something new. :D
Hmm... I never told you, but I like your layout much~ :D Coz it has DNAngel! I looked around images on my computer.. and was planning on using some SD piccies for layout, but.. I couldn't find anything useful. plus the fact that you already used dnangel, so I was trying to avoid choosing that series. I found quite a number of tenipuri chibi pictures. However, they are merchandise piccies.. so, it would be difficult cutting those images out, therefore, i decided not to use them. ^^;;
And. The thing I was telling you about on IRC. The boxes thing. I used it here. See the box like thingy with dull-ish golden outline and purple-ish inside? that surrounds the message you're reading? That's what I was talking about ^^;;; I told you it's nothing fancy... since it's most likely something that most ppl know and just me who doesn't. XD
layout art: as said in those golden letters, it's from a manga called Koucha Ouji. Jp name: 紅茶王子。I mentioned the name here before, but never said what it's about. Well, it's about Tea! hehe :D I try to go along with this theme here in the layout. ^^; Anyway, it has good looking :3 tea princes appearing from tea cups. They can't leave to go back home until they fulfill 3 wishes for the human who calls them out. That's the basic premises at least. :D It's a good series! And not to mention, the chibis! *_* Take a look at the layout piccies!! chibi chibi chibi~~~~~ me wuvs chibis~~ :p There are quite a few of them in the series, and they're all good looking in normal(human) size and adorable in chibi size! :DDD And there are, of course, pretty and cute tea princesses too. But I think I've only seen one of them. ^^;
This brings me back to the tea craving I had a while ago. I want to try Assam! I've tried Orange Pekoe, Earl Grey. These 3 are also characters in the manga btw ^.^ I don't think I've tried Red Rose(?), and I don't like fruity or flowery teas. Anyway, Assam tea, me wants to taste! But I don't see it around in the supermarket.. buuu.. :x
That's it for this entry! A bit short, but I'll get to other stuffs next time.
Tata~ :3
