I'm a girl and I love Shounen

As I said it before, I’m addicted to manga..I personally actually tend to prefer shounen and seinen series over shoujo.. Ok,don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a shoujo every once in a while. But, a lot of shoujo are just pure romance, and sometime overly romantic ..(uggh..), I stay away from those.lol XD

So, I just think, the most exciting manga comes from shonen!!! I prefer a little action or adventure..I've read plenty of shonen mangas..Shounen manga are captivating and thrilling with the story and artwork..

 

My Manga and I

I used to be a Manga-lover. I hit it off hard. I love reading manga since 15 years ago.. But, I started getting seriously into the manga hobby, when I was in high school (11 years ago) and already collecting 2 - 4 series at a time..

 Before I knew it I was spending lots of my money on manga. Manga is great, but yeah, its money consuming.. I know buying manga can be an expensive habit.. 18000 IDR – 20000IDR per volume.

Almost, every week I buy new manga.. If I see an interesting manga, I'll buy into it, which hurts my bank account a lot..(~,~;)a 

It's just like cigarettes. I just can't help buying a series that looks interesting ,then I'll buy the entire series.

To be honest, I actually gained a lot more knowledge from reading Manga and watching Anime..

To me, this is a reason why some addictions hobby (like this) aren't bad. Especially something that involves a culture and language not familiar to your own.. You become interested and want to learn about it.. :D 

And Here's my manga.. I think I need to buy a new bookshelf.. :o

Just Takeru X Haruma (Not Kenshin X Kotaru) ^_^

"Ladies and Gentlemen, for your entertainment, Please Welcome to the Stage....."Amuse Boys" *background music playing* :D
In this video, Amuse Boys covering Akb48's songs at Super Handsome Live.. 
And......,the boyband members are identified..Yup..yup..yup Amuse Boys *including Satoh Takeru and Miura Haruma.. I hope you don't drag out their samurai's character (Kenshin and Kotaru)..It's just Takeru and Haruma from Amuse inc. Not Kenshin from early Meiji periode and Kotaru from Sengoku period..lol XD

Ok, you better check this out.......(^0^)
So Amuse-ing, So Refreshing!!!!!
Doozo...

Kyoto ga Daisuki..!!

Why I love kyoto??
Kyoto is amazing for the traditional neighborhood in the city..This ancient city is electrified..
I love kyoto for its elegant old form of beauty.. The architecture is so amazing for me..
Shrines, temples everywhere,and Torii gates..It is the most Zen city.. I love the quiet, beautiful and peaceful place.. Everything has a low profile here..The buildings are mostly uneventful and not very tall..
I think Kyoto is a place you go to get away from all of your annoying modern life..

 Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion)

Ginkakuji (銀閣寺, Silver Pavilion)

Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社, Fushimi Inari Taisha)

Love Kyoto because kimonos are still in fashion, geisha, festivals in kyoto, and of course samurai's history..Very beautiful scenes.. I love Kyoto's atmosphere.. Yosha!! I'll go there someday, that's for sure!! Matte te ne..KYOTO!! XD

Wow “SUGEE!!" those were the first words that I said when I saw this manga farming method..If you’re looking for a way to creatively reuse your old manga, here's a way guys..*jreeeng..jreeng

Tokyo-based artist Koshi Kawachi recently demonstrated his "Manga Farming" technique, which uses old manga as a growing medium for vegetables, by cultivating a crop of radish sprouts in an installation at the Matsuzakaya department store in Nagoya..
Wow, can you imagine????
So, are you ready to grow vegetable or produce a beautiful organic garden with your old manga minna???..:P lol

Time flies like an arrow, It's terribly fast..You've turned into 40 years old.. For me,you're not getting older XD..Yeah, you sure don't look your age..I mean that in a good way Gackt sama..^^v

I have been a fan of Gackt from teen to adulthood (almost 10 years).. Just remember, the first song I’ve heard from Gackt is 'Last Song' and Gackt's vocals ride,delivering beautiful tunes and sung in a sweet way..Well,it is quite special when you hear a song and you get the sense of the the time when you first heard it..

The song has to make sense, sound fantastic and have an amazing message to it for me to enjoy it..Then, I grew up listening to his songs..XD I thank God for the day that you were born and for you being such a great J-rocker to me..
Now, Even I've gotten to love other musicians,bands,artists, but Gackt always have a place in my heart..
I'll always be your HUGE fan..
Again....,Hope you have a birthday as awesome as you are GACKT Sama..
