Hi guys, if you've noticed I've deleted some of my previous posts. One of my initial intention to create a blog was to talk about things that I like but because I was so stressed out with work, I began to write more about work!!! (which was very depressing).

So I've decided!!!! I'm going to devote this blog to my first love (ok, maybe 2nd love) - anime, manga & jap drama.

I guess one of the first anime that I watched was Naruto. Although I've stopped watching it and reading the manga due to the one year filler episodes, which absolutely killed my interest in it. But from what I've heard, it seems that Orochimaru has been killed by Sasuke (!!!) and Naruto's really really strong now (wow!!).

Recently, I'm been watching more light-hearted anime like Lovely Complex. It's about a girl called Risa whose real tall but likes a shorter guy called Otani, anyway it's a nice love story and the art works are quite good. I'm not into the typical character design where the girls have very big kawaii eyes, I prefer more realism so this anime is in my "To Watch" list. That being said, the characters are really funny and I always laugh throughout the episodes. In fact, I've also started buying the manga (the anime was adapted from the manga) because I can't wait for the next episode to come...haha. Anyway Kinokuniya is earning big bucks because of people like me...

I've also been watching Jap drama and this summer, one of the shows that I kinda like is Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. The drama is based on the popular manga of the same name by Nakajo Hisaya, which has already been dramatized in Taiwan. Anyway, the show's great but it doesn't really follow the manga so I am kind of disappointed. But the guys are sooooo cute in the show and one of my favourite actor is in it- Oguri Shun.

He's so hansamu...heeee...anyway to pay homage to him, here's a picture of him --

Cute right? Anyway he's been acting for a long time, although he's like only 25. If you've watched GTO, he was acting in it. He was the student who was being bullied and stood at the assembly hall with just his underwear. Hmm.. I guess he was maybe 14 when he acted in it?

Anyway for those who are interested in watching the drama, what I suggest is to watch it before reading the manga because the manga has more details in it. The 4th episode should be out on Friday & I'll be writing on it soon..
