Been playing Mabinogi lately~ I played it a while back (don't know if I mentioned that before) but I didn't really get too interested in it. But, my lover wanted to play a free online game, so I suggested Mabinogi... and now, we are kind of addicted to it. Even though I already had a character, I made a new one - an elf!! A shota elf... haha ^^;


Me and my lover... she is my onee-chan (sister)~

( Screencaps~~ )

Yup, so, if you wanna play with me on Mabinogi, I'm on the Ruari (sp?) server, and my name is Shiraishii~ Anyways... I feel like playing some more now... haha!

Eh... another delayed post. Why? I dunno... I'm lazy... haha~ Did everyone have fun New Year's Eve? I went over to my lover's house earlier in the day, and we had hot pot... and I recieved my Christmas present from her~ Later, when I got home, I drank with my parents. We were all so drunk, and we just talked for a couple of hours. It was really nice ^___^ Of course, I always go on MSN when I'm drunk, and I can't type at all... tsk. Well, I felt a little ill in the morning, but I didn't have much of a hangover, considering how much I drank. Haha~ I really don't drink much... it's rare when I do.

Anyways, my lover gave me the PVC Miku figure for Christmas~! Hooray~ Haha~ I got her the PVC Shiki Ryougi figure. ^^ Nice! Well... this is my first REAL figure... since my other ones are actually ACTION figures.... now that I have my first REAL figure, I feel like getting more....


In the box~

( 2 Miku + 1 Yuki )

Finished downloading Dissdia FF today... and... it's addictive! I don't know what's going on most times in the battle, as I often lose track of myself and my enemy.... but I just keep attacking. My favorite, of course, is Squall~~ But I think Tidus and Cloud are easier to use. Squall is so hot........... ^/////^ And emo.... u_u

I've also been playing the new DJ Max Black Square and Neo Angelique Special, all for psp. Also, I've been playing more of Animal Crossing City Folk. My character is so cute~ But me and my sister have been cheating, by jumping the time to Easter, selling the Easter items, collecting the candy, and then jumping to Halloween, giving the candy away for more items to sell. We get pretty rich this way.... and paid off most of our house. Because we jumped in time too much, Tom Nook's shop is now two story, and he has his two sons watching the second floor. Haha~ Anyways, I want to see the seasons change on there.... I want to see the cherry blossom! ^____^

I finally got to watch the Lucky Star OVA the other day. So full of random! I was happy to see Shirashi actually show up a couple times~ WAWAWA忘れ物... I loved the whole MMORPG scene, and the dream scene... and the Keroro/Tamama scene was creepy, but so hilarious! I really hope they make a second OVA, or a second season... I really like the randomness, and the continual referrences to otaku culture and anime/manga/games. Now I've gone and downloaded some of their albums... actually, a recent one... Lucky Star Music Fair~! I've only heard a couple of songs, but so far, the album is really good~~ The songs are cute, and there are a ton of Shirashi/Akira songs~!


EPIC
Lately, I've been paying more attention to Patti... she's super cute! So I was happy when I saw that she had a song on this album! Oh, the excitement of being an otaku! Patti understands...


Oh, I also wanted to mention, that this year's SaiMoe (which is a contest to see which anime girl is most moe) winner is Kagamin from Lucky Star~ Although she's not moe to me, I'm glad someone from Lucky Star won....

And... I've been addicted to WebKare lately... it's an online dating sim... kind of ^^ I think someone here would be interested in it ^^ Ohoho.... I like to poke my Kare...

Ahhh~ My computer is dying! Why?! I just restored you!

Actually, it's not really that my computer is dying, it's just that it's not any better.... also, my external hard drive is acting up! Which really sucks... I don't want to lose everything on it! I hope a defrag will straighten it up... I hope so. But anyways, I bought a new computer... a Dell, online! It's so awesome, I can't wait for it to get here~! It's gonna be so fast! I got 4GB memory and 380GB space (I would've got more, but I still have my external 250GB drive)... my computer currently has 512MB memory and 80GB of space... how sad is that?! EXTREMELY~! Well, this is my first computer, and it's surely over 4 years old now....

I commissioned ambitiouslove for a set of clothing for a Taeyang~!! Soon, Tsuge will have some awesome clothes~! I'm really excited about it~~ I've wanted to buy something from her before, but I never had money for it... but for a commission, it's pretty awesome! Tsuge will be able to exceed the maximum of hotness~! Hahah~

In other news, I'm going to really start to lose weight! I'm going to really try, by 1. Making lunches EVERY DAY! 2. Working out or walking at least half and hour EVERY DAY 3. Try to eat less carbs and sugar (my main addictions)... I hope I can do it! Please give me your support~! Hahah ^__^ Today, I walked for half an hour... but I didn't really eat that well, so I hope I'll do better tomorrow. Yesterday, I made myself some awesome wonton/chicken udon soup~


It was really good~~! I'm not sure how healthy it is though... oho...

Also, I finally got Rhythm Tengoku Gold for DS~! An awesome, random, music game made by the same people who did Wario Ware~! It's pretty fun, but some of the levels are kind of tough. This is my favorite level so far... I have this song stuck in my head lately...


There are a whole bunch of stages and remix stages! A lot of the songs are pretty catchy, like the one above~ Hehe... so addictive~

The other day, I was handing out a couple of souvenirs to my parents when they handed me a card in return. I first though "What? It's not my birthday!", but when I opened it, I realized it was a graduation card. Right! I remember, I graduated! Haha... I always forget that. When I opened it up, it said "We hope you had a great time in Chicago because this trip is on us!!"~ Yay~ ^__^ I'm really happy that my parents decided that the money I borrowed from them for the trip is my grad gift - that means I don't have to pay them back ^__^; Thank you~~ <3<3<3

Also, when I was hanging out with my sister today, we were in the model shop in china town, I saw another cute figure I wanted to buy~! I asked my sister if she could buy it, and I'd pay her back, but instead, she bought it and said that it was her gift to me for graduating~ Haha~ Thanks~~ She also bought me new shoes today (which I'll pay her back for later).... Anyways, here is the cute figure I got today~


Jun from Doko Demo Isshou in the box!



Anyways, I said in the previous post that I would put up some photos of the swag I got in Chicago~~ I think I mainly spent my money on artbooks and figures, which, is what I was hoping to spend it on. I'm kind of sad that there was only one vendor selling Pullips, which were the EVA ones.... I don't really care for EVA at all... haha. But, I was able to get my hands on the next figma, Haruhi~


Haruhi Suzumiya from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya in the box


Yes yes... I also must post the autographs I got~~ Presenting, HALCALI's autograph~~~


Oooh~~~ So lovely~~!! I don't think they did this on any other signatures, but Yukari wrote Thank U on mine... I'm assuming it's Thanks for the gift art I gave them ^__^ Thank you so much~~ It made me really happy to get their autograph~~ <3<3<3


I also bought a Peelander-Z poster, and tried to get everyone's autographs~~!! Aww... it's really too bad that I couldn't find Peelander Green.... where were you?! Anyways, this is hanging on my door now... ^__^

Okay, that's it for today... too many pictures lately! Haha~ I hope next time I post, it'll be about my new job... I have to fill out forms now... bah...

I'm getting more and more excited~! The trip is coming up so quickly~! I can't believe I'm actually going ^__^ We have our bus tickets, and our hotel room is booked! I should be getting my passport on the 8th, and I already have some US cash~! I just hope it's enough... I probably will be spending most of it at the convention. I also found out that HALCALI will be performing on Friday and Saturday... but I still don't know what time. I also don't know if it costs anything to see the concert or to get their signatures! I hope it doesn't cost anything... or at least, I hope it doesn't cost much.

Lately, I've been over at my sister's place. When I'm at home, I'm cleaning up... I cleaned the interior of my dad's truck on the weekend, and that took quite a while (he works in construction, so there was dust everywhere!), and today, I vacuumed the entire house, then cleaned the kitchen floor, and removed the spots on the carpeted areas... I still have to finish a picture for my dad, for his boat (it's supposed to be a muskrat racing in the water - he has attitude!), cook one meal for them (I've never made my parents a meal before... eheh) and I still have to work on my dad's present... which, I must draw with either charcoal or ink... I hope I can do it. I'm not very good at portraits...

I've also been playing my DS a lot lately! Mainly, I've been playing "The World Ends With You"... why is it translated that way? I don't know... I keep accidentally calling it "It's A Wonderful World". Just a while ago, I finally found the new "Taiko no Tatsujin DS" game (I was so blind, and I couldn't figure out why no one uploaded it yet) and I've been playing that for the last 2 hours! I think I know more songs in this one than the previous game!

Also, I downloaded some kind of Pilates game... it shows you how to do every move, has programs set up to target certain areas, and keeps record of your progress. You have a model that demonstrates everything, and if you work hard, you can unlock items for your model! Also, you have some sort of tree that will grow with the more work you do. It's pretty cute, and using a game to motivate me to work out helps!! Actually, did anyone know that I actually did Pilates before? I did it for a long while, and I got pretty good. After a while, you can feel it effect you in everyday life... you can keep your balance more, and you are better at controlling your muscles. I think I stopped doing it because I was tired of the video I was following... Hopefully, I can work hard, and do it again!! Because, today, I stepped on the scale... and wasn't happy with what I saw. I need to eat better!!

BTW, this is what I ate today... it's a combination of many things. I often can't decide what to eat, so I just throw it all together... I don't know if anyone else would find this tasty, but I sure enjoyed it!!


Fried rice with cabbage, green onion, chicken, peas and carrots, with egg on top. Broccoli and octopus wieners around the plate... What should I eat tomorrow?

I found another video... originally from Nico Nico Douga. I suppose it's kind of like the sequel or b-side 組曲『ニコニコ動画』(Kumikyoku "Nico Nico Douga") which can be seen here if you've never heard of it before (this is the version featuring Miku). If you watch some anime, you'll probably know some of these songs - if you are into the Nico Nico craze, you'll probably know more of the songs and references. Anyways, this "sequel" is called 合唱 ニコニコ動画『裏組曲』 -2nd Track- (Urakumikyoku "Nico Nico Douga"). I got 21 references... which I think is more than I got the first time I saw Kumikyoku... Pretty good!


I have two commissions on Gaia... I should probably start those - or go to bed.... >.>

I don't do very many meme's on Livejournal, but since prince3cha    tagged me, I guess I'll do it~! ^__^ Hehe... it's fun to do, but this meme took me a while... I don't know why, but I find it hard to think about anime/manga/game guys I like... I usually like actors/singers... haha~ Anyways, on to the meme~

Hmmm... DS is doing well in the otome game genre... After Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1 and 2, Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo (which, I don't think I'll ever be playing... ^^), and Duel Love (which I'm playing now... Oh yeah Jin, I'm totally sorry that I was watching you shower... ahahah!) there is yet another game being released in May~! Ridiculous... ^__^ But I'm not complaining... This new game is Hiiro no Kakera, and seems like it was already released for PS2... The art style is awesome, and I love the cut scenes~! The guys also look pretty awesome~ There is even some ear-biting action going on!! It's pretty awesome that this game has more action than some of the other otome games... ^o^ I can't wait for its release~

AHAHAHAHAHA~! For real? I was just thinking about this earlier, that it's all fine and dandy that their are dating games for girls, but I was wondering, why aren't there more riskier games? I see now, that Duel Love has answered my question... oh my... I just giggle when I watch the trailer... this is one game I won't be playing on the bus...


*nosebleeds* I'm downloading it is as I write this... I thought some people (D~) would be interested in this game... ^__^ Oh yeah!~ The artist/character designer is the artist of Hana Kimi, Hisaya Nakajo... There's a great review that can be found at GamerTell... Ahahaha.... haha... *plays*

I was playing my PSP for quite a while, but now, all the good games are coming out for DS... haha~~ There are so many releases coming up... I was pretty ecstatic when I found out that Professor Layton and the Curious Village was released in english!! I downloaded it (yeah, that's right, I download my games) and played it right away~~! I passed it in only 3 days... hahaha... ^^ Now I can't wait for the second one. This game is soooo cute~~ I love the characters, and the english dubbing is just perfect. The story is cute, and the puzzles are pretty tough... I can't believe I was able to complete all 135 of them (with the help of some people... oho...) But yeah, it's really cute, and if you like puzzle games, I really recommend it... even the trailer is cute~


I shouldn't have passed it so fast... ah... oh well, at least there are the weekly puzzles~ Anyways, I'm still waiting for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney to be uploaded (I believe it came out today...?) even though I haven't passed the third one yet (shame on me)... I stumbled on another fine release.... Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Kiss~~! Yay~! I knew there was a second game, I just didn't know that they were releasing it for DS... ^^ I've already played a couple hours, and I'm very much liking the main guy, Saeki Teru... he's so cute, even though he's mean at the beginning. I just wish this game was in English, so I could understand them better... Anyways, here's a opening (for the PS version, not the DS) and the trailer (for DS)...



Besides Saeki, I also really like the dark blue haired guy and the guitarist kid... ^^ The other guys... eh... I think the first game had better guys - uh, except for the principal - seriously, it's illegal to date your 40 something principal, I'm sure of it... haha~

I'm also waiting for It's A Wonderful World, or, what was it called again? "The World Ends With You"...? What...? Haha... I don't know why they translated it into that... ah well. I also can't wait for Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles... I tried playing the Japanese version for a while, but I'd much rather play RPGs in English, so I actually know the storyline....

Homework? What's that? .... ahahaha.... >.>;;;
