Happy New Year!
あけおめ！

Well, this is a little bit late, isn't it! ( Read more... )

Passion. Passion, passion passion! That is what 2010 is going to be about for me! Passion in love (I hope!), work (YES!), life, and everything else! ( Read more... )

Well, I guess that I'd like to start out the new year by making some resolutions!

☆ Make a lot of new friends!
★ Bring some close friends to visit me in Japan.
☆ Find at least one love (whether it works out or not!)
★ Buy a new dSLR camera
☆ Make my pro mangaka debut!
★ Start writing a book
☆ Tone up my body so that I feel totally comfortable in a bikini!
★ Get back into Capoeira
☆ Go to Thailand (several reasons, will tell why after I come back!)
★ Skyrocket my japanese level!
☆ Go canyoning (finally!)
★ Post in my lj more (I will!)
I think that's enough! Of course there are a lot of more things that I want to do, but first and foremost I am putting my career on high!

And you? Anyone share some of the same resolutions as me?

It's actually kind of funny... I consider Full Moon wo Sagashite one of the best shoujo animes ever made (certainly in the top ten and my personal top five), and I completely worship the author, Arina Tanemura. She has GORGEOUS art these days, even if her stories are not all that, Fullmoon aside. (As anyone reading Sakura-hime Kaden will know) But even with all that, I have never read the manga. I guess because when the anime came out, there was no english version of the manga available (there is now) and I couldn't read japanese. So the other day, I found the entire series in a used bookstore for 800 yen.. and of course I had to pick it up!

I've only just barely started (read vol 1 this morning, but have to stop there because there is just too much to do), but I remember now why I loved the anime so much. The manga is stunning, and honestly one of the reasons that I want to work for Shueisha so badly, and be published in Ribon, is that I could therefore be her (friendly) rival. I just adore her artwork so much!! I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, but Tanemura-sensei, here I come!!

Anybody who hasn't seen/read Fullmoon, I highly recommend it! I cried so hard at the end of the anime... seriously bawled! I hope I feel the same at the end of the manga, when I finish. ^^

なんちゃって(nanchatte)="just kidding," "oops, hehe," etc..

That's why I had to try this Nanchatte cola! It looks like a bottle of tabasco sauce (which I don't like anyways.. I can't stand vinegar), but it tastes like... I'm not sure, but a little bit like peppers mixed with chemicals mixed with soda water. In other words, like complete crap, lol. Not highly recommended, but just another example of the strange things that appear randomly in Japan. LOL

In other news, I saw Avatar yesterday with a friend... OMG I am totally in love! Love love love! I want to go live on Pandora too and learn the ways of the Na'vi. Neytiri is my hero <3

Are they still selling store-bought eggnog on-base? I've been craving some soooooooooooooo badly..

Is there anyone willing to take me shopping there on Monday or so? So many yummies that I want to buy and take home...

This post has been looooooooooooong overdue, I know! Somehow with work overwhelming me and unwinding from said work needing to be done, I just could never find the time to post on livejournal. I've been BUSY!! Really, really busy!! It might be hard to believe, but I've actually seen tons of friends and done a lot of interesting things when I could spare a bit of time! (Basically, this means that I have basically not been home, except the occasional night and rare early morning for the last two months!! o.o!)

However, from now until the end of the year............. FREEDOM!!!! Okay, I have various things planned here and there, and I need to do a ton of writing for both current and new writing jobs (which I LOVE!), but most important.... I need to work on my manga! (And my projects!!) The first step in my plan is to revamp my livejournal and move everything over to my new webspace (the old one is finally expiring. This will include the FAQ and a new layout among other things. WIP!). Second step is to make a new webpage! Third step is to get that webcomic set up! Fourth step (before the end of the year) is to finally finish the prints! Fifth step is to finish my prints v.1!! I am SO excited!!! I am also going to dig out and finish some other projects from the boonies. And I may have a New Years party, but not sure on that one yet.. Other projects (including make-apartment-awesome!! projects) exist as well, but they're just for whenever I can fit them in..

ANYWAYS!! I have been BUSY. Anybody want to see some pictures?? ( Here are 45 of them! Everything from JUMP Festa to parties to food to weird japanese things! )

That link is also full of rambling about my life these days... lol!

I still need suggestions for my FAQ! Anybody who wants to ask something, please head over here!

 

Ah, I wanted to have posted this yesterday. XD; It would have been a nice Christmas gift of sorts. XD;;

Sorry, beloved fandom, but the lack of time lately made that tons of things I wanted to do for Christmas (fanarts, mini-games etc. other thingies) ended up not possible, for now at least. ^^; *wants to finish all those little things when there's time* X3


On the good side however, here's chapter 57 all scanlated and ready to read~! :D



As usual, I must warn everybody that I love the main trio together in a threesome, and that I love Zero x Kaname (yaoi pairing) even more, so please don't bash any of the characters or pairings, and please don't throw rocks if you see me fangirling a character or pairing you dislike. *ships the trio in various ways, pairings etc, both yaoi and not*

So whether you support ZxY or KxY, please keep in mind this is a peaceful page where love for both the pairings (and for Zero x Kaname) is the main thing. ^^/



( This way for VK57... )

That's it for now. ^^/

Next month Hino-sensei is on break and so there's no VK. It will return on February 24th. ^^/


MERRY CHRISTMAS (late XD;) & HAPPY NEW YEAR~! :D ♥

*goes to curl up in a corner and rest now* XD; *lol*

 

Here's the new chapters.  Not sure what's wrong with mediafire, but will up that when I get a chance.  I haven't uploaded Photoshop to my computer yet, so what you see is what you get.  I probably won't re-up it, since my computer is so damn slow now...so if you want better quality, go buy the book =)  Merry Christmas!!
