Just so I don't have to deal with every picture in the post (because it's late...I'm lazy), none of the pics are mine!~

Orz. Title is self explanatory as to why I haven’t added any posts for a whole week. Again, I apologize…greatly. Oh and…I miss doing Blossom Blabber! It’s already been 3  months since I’ve done it (time flies so fast~)!

Sooo….I have to say that because of that, my planned Kimi ni Todoke and Kobato posts were delayed. And since I think it’s a little late to post them, I’ll add them in the Blossom Blabber post. So then, this BB (ahh, I miss BBs…) will include anime, dramas, music, blog info, news, youtube dump, other.

Anime

Blushing Kazehaya is absolute win. <3

Kimi ni Todoke: Episode 4

Aww, a quite sad, maybe bittersweet, episode. It has kept me on a ride of emotions, and I just love how the anime handles each part exquisitely. I loved the beginning though, especially starting it off with the Pin and Kazehaya conversation and adorable Kazehaya blushing. I started giggling like mad when they both looked at each other (lol @ exposed forehead). Ahhh~ Kazehaya is still as awesome as ever~! Unfortunately, the cliche of only hearing half the conversation takes into effect, resulting in a series of HUGE misunderstandings. It’s really sad, making me hope for it to be all cleared soon. Sigh…if only Sawako would say her point faster, or not make things sound negative when they really aren’t. But luckily, it seems that the next episode will have Kazehaya grabbing Sawako’s hand~ So it seems like things will be cleared up soon~!

Yumeiro Patissiere: Episodes 2-4

I caught up to episode 4…even though episode 5 is out, I don’t plan on watching it raw. Anyways, I have to say that I’m enjoy the show in all it’s shoujo cliche-ness. I think that’s what I like about this series… Watching the usual jerk-ish guy and the clumsy girl… xDD

One thing that makes me lol though is the voices. I really do like their seiyuus, but they’re voices seem a little old for them, especially Kashino. His voice is really deep for a middle schooler (middle school, right?). I just can’t help but lawl because their voices just don’t match their height either. Also, theirs heads at some point are disproportionate to the rest of their bodies.

For one though, Hanabusa makes me want to puke sometimes. xDD The too nice guy thing…and to top it off he’s narcissistic. xDD Even though Kashino is a jerk sometimes, I still like him because I’m sure it’s like the cliche’d jerk. xDD And I really want to pair him up with Ichigo now that I’ve seen him in the anime. Lastly, Ichigo hasn’t failed to make me dislike her because she’s just like the shoujo heroine. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a classic shoujo that I like it.

Now…off to watch episode 5 nonetheless because it’s Kashino~!

Kobato: Episode 4

Ahh, a pretty good episode. This time, we are officially introduced to Kohaku. The anime portrays Kohaku as a female I guess, since Kohaku is given a very feminine voice. Anyways, I’m pretty glad that I haven’t read the manga, so I don’t have very high expectations, nor am I disappointed so far. Everything seems to flow pretty well in the anime, although I’d like to see a few more hints of romance between Fujimoto and Kobato. There’s…barely anything. Although the ticket scene was quite cute~ And, let’s see, the Kohaku and Shuichiro scenes were quite cute to watch. :D Although it makes me think the Kohaku should be a girl even more…

Drama

Liar Game

Well, I decided to check out the show after hearing much about it from everyone (friends in RL and online). I have to say that I’m enjoying the series very much so far~ Especially since there’s the same actress from Nobuta wa Produce (forgot her name…to lazy to look), and the actor from Hana Yori Dango (forgot his name too). So when I immediately recognized them, I got even more excited to watch the series. I have to say that I love the psychological part of it, and it makes me think! Watching shows like this is always a nice change of routine for me; thus, I enjoy it much more.

I have to say that Akiyama is my favorite character. What can I say? He’s full of win, pwn, and awesome-ness~ Who cares if he’s a swindler? xDD Sometimes I want to hit my head when watching Nao though. Let’s see, and Fukunaga is creepy, period.

Ahh, I really need to finish this series~

Music

America looks hawt in this fanart.

Music~! I’ve been listening to tons of new (well, not really “new” but new to me) music than usual. But I guess that came from my Hana Kimi obsession, since most of the actors are singers, and I wanted to check out their songs. So lots of the music featured in this issue will be Taiwanese music (and a bit of American)~

It’s kind of old news on twitter, but ahh, I’ve been so into Fahrenheit, S.H.E., and Danson Tang semi-recently. The song that I’m most addicted to though, is Qing Bao by Danson Tang. I keep replaying it over and over and over again. xDD I just love the catchiness of the song. The only problem is that the rest of his songs aren’t as fast as that one. The only other one I’ve listened to that I liked was Ai Wo. And if my Chinese is correct it means “love me” which sounds a bit conceited, lawl. Other than that, another catchy song.

Qing Bao: Show ▼

As for S.H.E., I really like them now. My favorite member is Ella, I just absolutely love her voice. It’s so pretty!~ All of them sound great together, but her voice is so surprising. I definitely did not expect that. Anyways, so far, it’s hard to figure out my favorite song, so I’ll simply say Zhong Guo Hua, Ring Ring Ring, and Just Be Yourself for my top 3. Even though it’s surprising yet pretty dizzy to hear some rapping in Zhong Guo Hua, it’s incredibly catchy to me! Same goes for Ring Ring Ring on being catchy. And Just Be Yourself is song that I love listening to to cheer up. :D

Show ▼

Other Taiwanese music blurbs include…Confession by Elva Hsiao. The beginning in the PV is so corny and soo weird, and even though I’m not a big fan of Elva Hsiao, Confession just has a catchy chorus (I overuse that reason way too much) to it. Lots of English in it, but it fits the song I guess. I think the reason I got into this song was watching Ella dance to it in bloopers. xDD Hilarious dance btw. Not into the whole lyrics or PV though…>.> Another blurb is R. (A.?) Chord’s songs. Specifically, Ni Ceng Jing Rang Wo Xin Dong. Wahh, that’s a mouth full. It’s such a relaxing song. Another person from Hana Kimi (spirit guy!~), with another surprising voice. I love just listening to it, because I want to go to sleep afterwards…lol. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, I put both R. and A. because I seriously don’t know what to call him. R. Chord or A. Chord? Or his real name? O.o

And random music blurbs go here. Let’s see, Taeyang from Big Bang has released his solo Where You At. Pretty nice MV and song. I love the transition between black and white. Overall, a pretty nice song, and I love the choreography. Also, Hamburger Street preview~ It’s full of win~! xDD It’s so dumb it’s addicting, haha. After hearing America’s, I decided to listen to France’s. O.o The second song sounds so wrong. x_x Anywho…I was looking around for more Bodyslam songs, and I found Believe. I’m weak for corny inspirational songs (it’s a song about picking yourself up when you fall), especially with a nice tune, so I really like this song. Especially since I’ve been so stressed from school, and it helps me feel so much better. :D And lastly, I came across one of my favorite English covers…ever. It’s just soo pro and good, ah! I was so surprised when I heard it. When I saw the perosn, I was expecting some random stuff, but it was actually really good. It’s an English cover of Heartbreaker by G-Dragon. Don’t let looks fool you.

Blog Info

Well, as in plain sight, I haven’t been updating much. I’ve already explained that before. I’m on an unofficial break. I still am. However, I have a feeling that I’ll soon get more freetime. Pretty much, the thing that was keeping me down is now over. I still have other things, but that’ll make things a lot easier now. We have a lot of breaks in the Winter time, so I expect to be able to blog and do more stuff. So…let’s hope for the best!~

News

Eden of the East: King of Eden Trailer 2

The Eden of the East first movie King of Eden’s second trailer was released yesterday. I have to say that it is really good, and I want to watch the movie. Soo badly! What happened to Akira? The thing that made me a happy fangirl though, was the part when he’s holding her hand, just like the beginning. It seems that even if he’s forgotten who she is, he’s still drawn to her and will always find her. I was sad though to be reminded that he erased his memories. Ahh, it looks so good. But….why must it be pushed back to December?! I’ll continuously remind myself that it’ll be worth the wait, but I seriously want to see it NAO. xDD *impatient fangirl* Oh and here’s the trailer:

Winter 09/10

Seems like the chart already came out for the Winter anime season. I’m pretty disappointed. There isn’t something that I’m straight out excited for, but there are quite a few that caught my eye. It seems like a decent season though. :DD Who knows, maybe there’s something really good hidden there. I haven’t looked at the chart too closely, so I can’t be too judgmental yet. Seems like Drrr! (however many R’s there are), Okamikakushi, and Dance in the Vampire Bund will be there. So-Ra-No-Wo-To looks like some K-On! rip-off though. x_x

YouTube Dump

Most of the YouTube videos I wanted to add were in the music category, so I just added them there. So here are some extremely lolwut? videos of variety shows. Soooo “lolwut?”

Beware if you don’t want to watch something stupid. I showed my friends, and I immediately burned their eyes. I want to assume gay:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiIWSJ0y1ew

It’s so gay-ish and almost stupid that I find it funny. xDD

--

Now this, is so awesome that I want to try it for myself. The guy messing up is lulz.

Sad, but kind of gruesome. But still….very sad. I loved it simply for how cute yet touching it was.

Halloween

(RL ramble) First of all, Happy (late) Halloween!~ Ahh, Halloween on a Saturday is much better for me. Anyways, I hope everyone had a fun Halloween~ I did, since I experienced my first ever trick-or-treating (even though I feel too old to go trick-or-treating, but my shortness makes me feel less so)…I know, shock~ Well, my family isn’t into trick-or-treating so I never did it as a kid until now as a teen my friends started getting me into it. Soo…>.> Feel free to shoot me for being so late into it.

My poor (cruel on Halloween) brother was deprived of his much-wanted experience of robbing children of their candy (pretending to get some from his bag and then dumping it in without any real candy xDD). Anddd…..let’s see. My first ever experience was pretty fun. I lawl’ed at the haunted house, because the guy tried scaring us out in front and I just stared straight-faced. xDD Only one friend actually wanted to go, so I was just dragged in because no one else wanted to. But we never entered it because the guy in the wrinkly mask made us want to turn around and leave. Afterwards, we were told it was a couples thing. O.o Oh! Also, favorite reaction trick-or-treating: the guy at the door simply saying, “Holy--” looking at how many people were at his door.

Soo…yup. It was actually a fun Halloween. :D And no need to explain what my costume was, cause it was lame.

Fundraising

Soon…soon….I’ll have an online store. Then I’ll announce it. For now, I guess I could ask everyone ways I could fund-raise. It’s not possible for me to get a job, so I need to be able to sell things, mainly. So suggestions would be much appreciated! Oh, and I need to include what it’s for. All in all, it’s for tuition for a leadership conference I was invited to go to. I’d like to go, but it’s really expensive, so I need to earn most of the money myself. But I guess I’ll explain more when the full post arrives on it. For now, I’m just asking for suggestions on how I could raise money. :D

Mandarin

I’m going to try to learn Mandarin!! >:D Well…I won’t be able to learn fluently without taking a class most likely, but I’ll learn as much as I can. At least…the basics. I’m pretty tired of saying that I’m Chinese and can’t speak it, y’know? Especially since I’ve been pressured for awhile to learn. Ever since I started, I’ve been so thankful of Thai though. xD With Thai’s 40+ consonants and 20+ vowels, it’s a smidge easier to replicate sounds. xDD And I’m thankful of having a parent to turn to. Only problem is, is that they speak a different dialect, and only my mom can speak some Mandarin (isn’t her native though). *Sigh* I have a long way to go. Pinyin is pretty hard for me though, since I have to hear to replicate the sound. Reading it is a whole lot harder to get the pronunciation correct. Soo, I’ll be off to learn Pinyin then Chinese soon!~

Well, that’s it for now~! Had some other stuff I wanted to share, but I wasn’t sure if I should, so I didn’t since it seemed pretty long with all of the YouTube videos already.

So here is the first issue of Blossom Blabber! I’m pretty happy that I have some stuff to talk about. This BB will include music, manga, blog info, and other things. It’s not much, but I’ve been so busy and my math teacher today just told me that our class has more big tests in her class for the next two week. So blogging is reallyyyy slow…

Music

Recently I’ve found a couple new things related to music. I guess I’ll start with Japanese music. I’ve mentioned before that I’m into Asian boy groups, and so recently I decided to finally listen to some KAT-TUN music. I actually like the group, and I’m hoping to watch some of the dramas they’re in. But so far, I haven’t heard a Johnny group that I haven’t liked. I don’t really have a favorite member though….Here’s one of their songs, called “Don’t You Ever Stop”. I got the 4 minute video, since I haven’t watched the full one yet. I find it catchy, but it is a typical boy band song. So…-_-|||. It has some rock, pop, rap parts…

www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwSH6S40yME

I’ve also been listening to Thai music…which is different. Usually I’m not a fan of Thai music (which is sad since–random fact–I’m part Thai), so it’s a nice change. I was listening to K-Otic, which is another guy group, but it has 2 pure Thai members, two half Thai half Japanese members, and one pure Korean. So usually there is some random Japanese and Korean thrown in. ^-^ I like the band, and my favorite member is Tomo. xD The Jap/Thai guy…>_> But yeah, listening to some Thai music, and music from people in the Kamikaze Project. The Kamikaze Project is a project with many teenage mostly Thai singers and artists, all in their own specific groups. Sometimes they sing altogether, and they feature in one another’s songs.

Also, I was just checking my e-mail, and I noticed an article about Britain’s Got Talent. I was curious about it, and decided to look at the YouTube video.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-ZjOEk4-dI

It was pretty surprising to see how he sang, and um, apparently according to Wikipedia and from what I’ve heard, that guy can sing six octaves. I was surprised since I expected it to be, like his talking voice and deep. It makes me wonder how he sounds with his regular voice. He styles sort of like Adam Lambert, so it was a surprise to hear his voice. >_<

Manga

I finally read Koko Ni Iru Yo! and I have to say, it’s awesome. I loved it. I only got to chapter 13, since I could only find scanlations up to that chapter. It’s such a warm-hearted manga, and I love all of the characters. Hikage is so cute >.<. I really don’t have much to say about this manga, but I love it. Does anyone know where I can get at least summaries for the rest of the chapters?

So about the love triangle…I really don’t know who I’m rooting for. I like both of them too much. I began to respect Teru so much more in Chapter 12 and 13. Ah…I don’t know which couple I’m rooting for. But now I have an idea for a poll!

And more to say, but it has to be tagged as spoiler: Show ▼

If you’re wondering, Aoi is apparently the name of megaPIG…but I’m not positive, since I’ve only read to chapter 13. Correct me if I’m wrong. I was really excited and surprised to find out about Teru being Black Rabbit. At first I encouraged Hinata and Hikage, but now I’m unsure. I keep on leaning towards Teru since he’s just so cool, and looks a lot cooler, but that’s not the only reason. It just seems that he was one of the two people who was there for her when no one else was…even though it was online. And he wanted her to be happy with Hinata.  Plus, I just saw some raws with Hikage and Teru…moments, which were really cute. Hinata though was pretty sweet at some moments. But…I don’t really have a solid opinion yet.

I’m also being pressured by my friends to read Kitchen Princess…So hopefully, soon, I’ll be able to talk about it. But other than that, I haven’t been reading a lot of manga. Or doing anything, really. Awhile back, I read some Lovely Complex which I mentioned in Monthly Mania, and I read Beauty Pop. Beauty Pop was really fun to read, seeing how the heroine is nothing like an average shoujo heroine. I’m hoping to read more of Beauty Pop too. I read Watashi ni xx Shinasai! and so far I’m liking it. It’s an interesting concept, with cell phone novels and everything.

Blog Info

There isn’t much going on with the blog, since I still have school. But I’ve been working on a summer banner. I was thinking of either putting it up before vacation to remind us all that summer is coming soon (even though to some, it already came ^_^) and we get to break free from a lot of work, or to put it up when the summer season of anime comes.

Shugo Chara posts and many other posts are getting delayed much more frequently, so I apologize about that. The blog is really slow right now. Next week will be even worse, because I have a lot of activities we’re doing after school next week.

Other Random Thoughts

So I was looking around at YouTube videos, and with comments and I was pretty surprised by this…

girl. Pretty much they are all the same person. With the bottom left corner how she looks dressed as a girl. Her name is Yang Yang, a tomboy. Yeah, it’s really not related at all, but I was pretty surprised it was a girl. To some it’s pretty obvious (at least to my friend), or the already know about this. I was just O_o at it all. So random…out of topic….but I felt like sharing it.

On a good side (or bragging side >_>), I now have an autograph (or semi, since it’s just the initials) of Chester from Linkin Park. =DD Woot! So excited~ Have to thank my uncle greatly…

And, I just found a bunch of super cute Hikage chibi pictures which has probably already been posted too much. But so cute~ >.<

And that’s all for Blossom Blabber. There weren’t as many things to talk about as I originally thought, maybe I forgot them. I think I’ll make the next BB in two weeks, because there isn’t much to talk about either probably.
