Great! Now I can move on to other matters and try to get back to blogging which I’ve been ignoring for so long. Got to update all those old plugins with new versions and got to clean up the spams on my blog. I forgot when was the last day I login to my blog to clean up spam.

Oh Yes!, I have a lot of Animes to catch up too. I’m following this 3 new animes. I got about 4 episodes each and I think I like 07-Ghost for good actions and Hanasakeru Seishounen for cute character profiles. I’m just downloading Tears to Tiara for the sake of utilizing my bandwidth but it seems to be pretty fun to watch and hell lotta blood for an anime. The blood and slashing are like those in 300 movie. Ok may be not.

Other day, I had a short conversation with a Japanese friend and when I mentioned I’m crazy about animes and manga, he told me to check out some of his manga. May be I’ll go borrow some manga from him later. I’ve never read a paper based hard copy manga yet as I’m only reading online versions. I at least like to feel the touch of good old manga book. I’m currently reading Shinobi Life (read), My Babaric Girlfriend/Yours and My Secret and Skip Beat (read | watch)

Every now and then I enjoy checking out friends’ photos on facebook and accepting new friends invites. I’m not sure they even know me at all, cos’ I only know about 10 people on facebooks and the rest are new faces for me; yet it’s no harm accepting/making new friends and I enjoy checking out their lovely photos. It calms me down during my busy days to see happy faces which kind of make my day enjoyable.

I haven’t been reading any of my feeds except 2 or 3 daily updates and I’m also ignoring tweets for a while now. Surely I’m behind on a lot of things so gonna catch up soon. I notice my Fiji friends are also not updating much on their blogs. Heard Zatlite is too lazy to blog but I think he tweets regularly. A friend at Lunch in Suva is making some $ for retirement plan while over investing on lunch menus. I’m not sure Sarnil is updating his blog or just his feed acting up cos’ I got all his old posts show up as new on my reader. The failed paradise guys are also very quiet these days. I always love the photos of A letter home from Meg C. I think Digital Fiji switches from blogging to twittering as I see a lot more tweets than posts. Ofcos’ the only blog with regular updates would be Ocenic and the posts are always very informative. I ignored all news blogs as I’m sure there is never been a good news to read lately.

There are 1000+ new posts on my Myanmar Blogs folder and I don’t even want to open any of the folders with 1000+ new updates; may be I’ll go through them slowly later. But I saw a lot of good work done by Ko Soe Min with the help of Ko NLS on their font and various projects. I’m amazed that he’s such a great programmer and thankful that he’s investing his precious time on such projects. I also hope that I can be like him one day and provide my knowledge for betterment of MM community. For now, I don’t have that much knowledge and time to apply to such projects so I can only concentrate on things that can put bread rice on the table. Like Zatlite once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what’s for dinner“, or something like that, I forgot the exact phrase he used.

Just now I reassured my uselessness and reconfirmed that I AM A BAD DAUGHTER, after a short lunch time talk with a colleague. Everyday mum made a Bento in the morning for us and at lunch time when my colleague asks what’s for lunch, I don’t have an answer for it unless I open my lunch box and check for it first. As usual, today I didn’t know what my mom packed for lunch so couldn’t answer my colleague. He noted that I never help with cooking and I sleep while mom wakes up early to cook for Bento. He commented that I must have a pretty good life and indeed I have a very worry free life and am a very bad daughter as I hardly help with house work or cooking.

I do really appreciate my mom hard works and thinking of treating her some good lunch this weekend to celebrate Mothers’ day. I have this craving for Daikuku’s Special BBQ stake meal which is $45 per serve and a dish of Sashimi. I think I’ll have to order about 3 stake serves to fulfil my bottomless pit enjoy with my mom.

Alright, that’s all for now on my unrelated thoughts and a quick blog update. Hope you all have a good week.

While I’m waiting for Naruto, we’ve watched a couple of other animes as well. The followings are some of the animes we watched recently.

Bleach : [ Wiki ]

I’ve heard some good reviews about Bleach so I decided to check it out. I must say it does live up to my expectations. Bleach is interesting, fun, full of actions and rapidly dwelling your interest. Although the characters are not that cute compare to Naruto, the actions scenes are very well drawn. Before downloading Bleach, my bro and I have a hard time deciding whether to choose Bleach or Death Note for both of them were top rated animes at that time. Then my bro decided that he doesn’t like the Death Note story and wanted to watch longer episodes, we started downloading Bleach.

After watching a few episodes of Bleach, I wasn’t sure which one I like more – Naruto or Bleach cos’ they both are great in their own ways. Bleach got more actions with little story development. Naruto got a good story build up and is funnier. I guess Naruto is for younger audience since the characters themselves are younger compare to those in Bleach. Still, both of them are superb and hard to decide which is better.

Saiunkoku Monogatari : [ Wiki ] [ Characters ] [ Characters Graphical ]

Ok to make it short, I love everything about this anime. The story is lovely and characters are just soooo cute! Currently it’s their second season but they licensed the show so previous sub-titler group dropped the project and was halted. But I heard another group has started picking again so hopefully we get to see/catch up the second season episodes soon.

Now, about the theme songs; every anime has opening and closing theme songs. In Naruto and Bleach, they changed lots of songs already since they’ve been on air for many seasons. For Saiunkoku, I love both opening and closing songs especially the closing song, “Saikou no Kataomoi“. The vocal is very sweet and can go too high note. Notice the very beginning of the song, there is one long – pitch note. I thought it was some sort of flute or instrumental sound but actually it really is the singer’s vocal. Man, she can sing or what? I try to scream like that but my throat gone kapoot as soon as I open my mouth. (Khway A’ Hlal Ninn pi htwet tal a tan lo pal) LOL Definitely it’s not my key. Oh and the vocalist, Tainaka Sachi, looks like Chaw Su Khin…the mouth I mean. I searched for the mp3 files but couldn’t find it before; lucky enough someone uploaded them on idols-unlimited a few weeks back and I quickly grabbed them from there. The 2nd song being my favorite, I’ve been listening repeatedly almost everyday and I don’t seem to get tired of it yet. I’m a sucker for this kind of slow, tiny, sweet melodious songs, some what good to sleep with. ahehehe.

The ending song has been changed in the second season and the opening graphic looks terrible. I love the opening graphic from the first season; they should have kept it. Graphic from part two of the first season is also good but for some reason second season opening graphic sucks. Anyways, if you like cute characters and lovely story, you should watch this anime. Make sure to listen to the following two songs too. I bet you’ll like it.
