Blog: Back and Happy April Fool's!

I apologize for the lack of update.
I forgot my email and password and I only managed to remember it on April Fool's. What a joke. I'll try to back post soon.

March passed by very quickly. The first two weeks I was settling University application to attending an interview (I've yet to receive results) and the next two weeks was slacking at home having J-drama marathon and shopping.

It is also the month where I seriously sat down and thought through about my future. I live in a country where your entire future lies on a piece of paper and one wrong path can change your entire future. Admission was never an issue for me since I've always attended affiliated schools and studied enough to get into something. I've never feared admissions so much before and compared to my final year project in college 6 months back, this was the first time where i was so stressed for weeks and finally settled down with something that I will do better in life.

I hope the uni accepts me.

Happy April Fool's y'all.

Blog: Just a thought

I've been thinking... I really want to start up an online store and instead of selling clothes, I was wondering if I should start up an online fanart store for local otakus here. Instead of just selling through DA or only at events, I was just thinking of a portal for fellow fans to buy their goods.

Just a thought.

Kyou Koi and stargazing

Remember my blog post on how deep I am into manga? Yeah this time i'm gonna talk about another case.

Heard of Kyou koi wo hajimemashite? TSUBAKI-KUN!!!!!!

Okay, I always loved the whole space-galaxy-alien stories and I've never sunk so much into the Astronomy world until I read Kyou koi and I became so interested in it I went for some sidewalk stargazing near my area.

So I was queuing up to observe Jupiter that day as I passed by the library by chance. I managed to see Jupiter with its four moon and also stars around the area. THIS IS SO AWESOME. if you ever see someone stargazing, stop by and ask if you can look through his/her telescope because looking at the star beyond Earth is just so cool and amazing. Just leaves you speechless. I don't care if people say "It's so blur. / It's so small. / Fun???" As long as I think it's amazing then so be it. You cant even see Jupiter with your own naked eyes.

When I told my relatives that the bright star shining in the sky was Jupiter, my cousin joked and said the application that tells you the position of the star is a lie, just a tool to cheat girls. I flipped him immediately and my uncle told me that that is not Jupiter but the brightest north star. When in the army, they were told to follow the brightest north star to guide them out when they are lost in the woods. It may be true but saying that isn't Jupiter... Technology doesn't lie! /hmph.

Just don't let people bother you when they say such stuff. There are always others out there who finds it intriguing!

Jupiter is located above the flats on the right. This small white dot.

Next stargazing to look forward to will be April5th when Mars is close to Earth!

When i'm too deep into manga

It happens frequently... whenever I'm too deep into a manga.

Remember about my post on Kyou no Kira-kun ? There was this scene where Nino was crazy about Kira's hair scent and Kira went to buy the same shampoo for her... I recognized the shampoo brand and I went to buy it just so I can have the same hair scent as Kira. The SHAMPOO SMELLS REALLY GREAT BY THE WAY.

Manga shopping

Dropped by Kino this evening to grab some books since they are having a sale. Was hoping this outlet could have all seven volumes of Samurai Drive. Sadly, they only had the four volumes above.

I also bought Junjou Romantica because I found out they carried it! Finally!!! Although it's in Japanese and I am desperate for the Chinese version, this will be my stepping stone to further understand Japanese. I hope I'm able to feel motivated so I can continue to buy Junjou and Sekakoi Japanese having to worry less about not being able to buy the Taiwan version.

I recently found out that buying manga from Taiwan's Kadokawa is now possible since they provide international shipping but I'm slightly worried if it will be allowed into the country. Even buying the first volume of junjou above already need me to present my identity card to prove that I am already 18 to purchase. They even had the book placed behind the counter, double taped and sealed which I really hate.

Kino, surprisingly also carried in lots of kurobasu doujins and i also saw super lovers and love stage on the shelf!!! I am so excited to be honest. I am looking forward to the day when I can read Japanese fluently even though Kanji is a real pain in the ass. Hoory for furigana \0/
