Just pimping Oku Hanako, another J-pop artist. Her voice is really cute and pretty; her songs are really cute, too. They're really direct with emotions and straight to the point... not too much poetic metaphors and fancy stuff. She's also sung for "The Girl Who Leaps Through Time", an anime movie that came out a few years ago. That movie is ( Read more... )

Ok, so I got some new manga to work on today... I'm not translating, I'm just doing the grub work of making a template, but hey, I get to read it and I get paid so all is okay. One is called Fossil Fighters which I have to translate the NAMES too into lame English ones like Rosie and Dr. Diggins. Confusing much? I think it's because (after googling ( Read more... )

Once again starting blogging!! I get side-tracked so easily. It's okay though. Right now I'm facebooking like crazy and it's really bad.

My expanders are killing me. It really hurts to play the clarinet, but even without them I guess I wouldn't have practiced very much...I had lessons for the first time in about a month due to sickness (from both ( Read more... )

School is being something quite unexpected. x__x I mean, no offense, but why do most people don't get it? I think I spent too much time at a Japanese preparatory school.  I really don't want to bitch about it, but... I wonder what the heck their here in school for. The current class I hate most is English, and it's not because I don't get it. Well ( Read more... )

High school credits from Japan came yesterday. 9th grade credits, and half a year or 10th grade credits. I thought I'd have to take a lot of mandatory classes to catch up, but they gave me much more credits for 10th grade then I'd expected. So basically I have exactly a half year of 10th grade done, so I'm half a year advanced then all the ( Read more... )

AHAHAHA YES. I CAN GO TO JAPAN FOR THE WINTER VACATION.

...I hope. I'm looking for cheap tickets on the net right now like a starved person looking for leftover food in trash cans, but no matter how much I look the cheapest is like $1030, tax included. The price for gas is retarded, though. $200 just for gas? And they tell you it's a cheap ticket ( Read more... )

Someone pulled the fire alarm a few days ago at school. We were doing our homework during Geometry (the next class was a Unit Test, so the teacher gave us time to study) when this really loud earsplitting alarm went out. We had no idea what was going on, and I just sat at my desk continuing my homework wondering what the hell was happening. And ( Read more... )

  I SURVIVED. I fell asleep at like 5 PM everyday and woke up at 4 (just to chat with my friends in Japan. Time differences suck), during the school days. I don't think school was that tiring, but I was dead at home everyday. Anyway. They took like the whole morning arranging my schedule on the first day. It's like this:

1 PE3
2 Biology 1
3 English 3 ( Read more... )

 School tomorrow. I am actually scared for my life. I mean, I'm... not a social person. The bad tendency of the Japanese (gathering in packs) has rubbed off on me and I'm not really sure if I can get it off. And I don't really want to run to fellow Japanese students. Because they are Japanese, and from what I have observed from elementary school ( Read more... )
