My name is ミカ, or xuefang.
I am 16 on 2nd February and i live on the small little red dot(Singapore!) on the world map.
It's not a crime to be 165 cm tall, but i get teased being short.
I love to sleep, to shop, to play eletric guitar, to munch on sweet stuff, to daydream and to read Manga and chinese romance novels.
Sometimes, I need to be anti-social.
Hand me a cup of strawberry milkshake, milk tea or red tea, I will smile at you.
If you're eating with me, I'll order Cha Soba, Sushi or Kimchi.
I prefer Otome games instead of having a boyfriend.
My greatest wish in my life is to move to a new house where I can have my own room, and probably marry a Bishie from Japan.
My second wish is to cosplay and take numerous pictures which others appreciate very much.
The happiest thing tha happened in my life so far is that Gackt-sama said "Love you" to me on the phone ♥;
and taking photos with LM.C and SuG --- especially when Shinpei looked into my eyes and said "Thank you" ♥.

then i FINALLY saw his book... GOJM. there is only one :( - 无极. yeah, my fellow chinese readers shld be aware that it is a movie. when i flipped the book open, i got the greatest shock:
*okay, the image is not good quality cause i took it at night.* O___O... 忧郁的眼神,直挺的鼻染,丰厚的双唇,帅气的发型,清秀又忧愁的脸。 (this is Google's direct translation: Melancholy eyes, the nose straight dyeing, huge lips, hairstyle handsome, fine-featured face and sad.LOL.)
ohmy... he got all the factors that i'm looking for in my boyfriend *_*(laugh). i cant leave this bishounen alone oAo! internet! internet!!!
i went to his blog first, but later i went to check out HIS history. LOL.
had you listened to KanonWakeshima's ShishokuDoIce?
[ShishokuDoIce] 18.02.2009 Track list: 1. Sweet ticket 2.Shinku No Fatarythm 3.Kagami 4. Still Doll(album vers.) 5.Maboroshi 6. Ennui Kibun! 7.Suna No Oshiro 8. Monochrome Frame 9.L'espoir - Mahou No Akai Ito 10.KuroiTorikago 11. Skip step turn 12.ShiroiKokoro 13. Sweet dreams
-----------------------------------------------
Sweet ticket Sweet Ticket is just an instrumental introduction with Cello, military drums and others. it is a very typical instr. song.
Shinku No Fatarythm a slightly fast-pace song that is only 2:51 in length. i think it is a nice song, but KanonWakeshima's song sounded alike... so, yeah.
Kagami i like the introduction and the... 3rd verse or something? the part at the back.
Still Doll(album vers.) man, i had always like this song. it was my first Kanon song that i heard. it was rearranged a bit, but it sounded the same.
Maboroshi her singing sounded a little different here, right?
Ennui Kibun! this is rather a mo-e song O_O, and it's very different from how she usually sing.
Suna No Oshiro this is the original song from her previous single. i have to say that it's one of her best song. i like how the cello was arranged and the tension in the song. it will make a good contemporary dance(laugh).
Monochrome Frame Monochrome Frame sounded slightly different from the above songs. the typical Cello playing was replaced by other string instrument(violin or viola?) and there is more depth, and there's more backup vocals.
L'espoir - Mahou No Akai Ito the whispering backup vocal was sweet P_P. i like songs with them. the rhythm has greater impact.
KuroiTorikago the front part was plain instrument playing... and i think it dragged a bit too long?
Skip step turn one of the first few songs i heard from her. but after listening to more of her songs, i find them similar, so it's kinda difficult to get interested in them.
ShiroiKokoro piano was a good start - clear and smoothing. i like the combination of her voice with piano and cello.
Sweet dreams somehow, i like the way of starting the album with 'Sweet ticket' and ending it with 'Sweet Dreams', kinda for no reason .__. . but this is definitely a verrrryyy nice melody to be played in a musical box. if there's any musical box with this melody.. i'll definitely buy it *__*.
i'm not a professional music artist and neither an A*star student for english, so my comments maybe no good or whatever, it's all what i felt as a listener(and a normal grade student =.=).
the following may sound like insults to KanonWakeshima's fans, so please hold a neutral heart before you read them =.=.
the more i listen toKanonWakeshima's songs, the more i feel that she is really fortunate that her debut as a singer is smooth. what is selling - her dolly looks and lolita image, her cello skills, and of course her voice - true enough, they're selling. but maybe to only die-heart fans. who doesnt like lolita image(erm, for those who doesnt shut up =_=. and if you dont, you wont even listen to her songs right? more reasons for you to shut up =_=. lol.)? these 3 factors together had already captured the hearts of otakus, anime lovers and lolita fans.
but somehow, her songs only revolves around cello, violin, and her sweet voice. her songs sounded similar and i kinda lose interest after listening to the album. i wonder if it will change when her next single/album comes along, but unlike bands which have vocal/keyboard/guitar/drums/bass and pop singers who sings several genres and dances, how different will it change for an artist with lolita image and cello? not much, perhaps.
i was looking for a nice movie to do for our damned MT project, and i came across this: DEAR FRIENDS. sounds nice, so i check it out...
Dear Friends (ディアフレンズ) is a 2007 drama film written by JapaneseauthorYOSHI and directed by film directorKazuyuki Morosawa. The film stars Keiko Kitagawa and Yuika Motokariya in its lead roles. The tagline for the film is "Are friends necessary?" The theme song is also called Dear Friends, which is performed by SOULHEAD. It is adapted from the manga "Dear Friends" by YOSHI, and art by Watanabe Ayu.
Plot Summary Dear Friends follows a high-school student named Rina (played by Keiko Kitagawa) who believes that friends are not necessary and that they can only be used in times of need. Thus, she is unable to maintain a decent relationship with her friends and classmates. Her family's relationship is also lacking; her father does not care much about his family and her mother is over-protective. Rina spends a lot of her time going to a club where Yousuke (played by Masaya Kikawada) is the disc jockey with her friends Hiroko (played by Airi Toriyama) and Emi (played by Hatsune Matsushima). (In the opening scene, Rina has "borrowed" Hiroko's boyfriend for sex,infuriating Hiroko.) Yousuke falls for Rina, but her attitude has a feral edge, and they neck but stop short of having sex.
After obtaining a large amount of money under false pretenses (i.e. claiming she is pregnant when she is not and forcing the guy [not Hiroko's boyfriend or Yousuke] to pay for the abortion) and spending it on a bottle of Dom Pérignon (which she sprays over everyone at the club), Rina collapses on the dance floor. She eventually discovers that she has cancer (non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and becomes hospitalized for an indefinite amount of time. In the hospital, she is not visited by her family, but by one of her classmates named Maki (played by Yuika Motokariya). Although Maki tells Rina that they were friends in primary school, Rina does not remember her, so Maki takes the opportunity to re-connect with her. A young girl, Kanae, (played by Mao Sasaki) who is also hospitalized tries to become friends with Rina, but she holds fast onto her mantra of friends being unnecessary.
Throughout her hospitalization, Rina begins to lose hope as her well-being falls apart, and she decides to jump off the hospital rooftop as she feels that no one no longer cares about her. Her hair falls out from the chemotherapy and she looks pale and thin. Rina learns that Kanae also had cancer, and has died after a bone marrow transplant failed. Rina must undergo a mastectomy as the cancer has spread to her left breast, and feels that suicide is the best way out of her predicament. However, she is confronted by Maki, who stabs herself in the chest with a knife and declares that she will share the same pain as Rina and that she does not want to lose her friend. Maki has suicidal tendencies (as evidenced by scars on her wrist), but sees in her relationship with Rina a reason to keep living. Rina shows some hope again when she realizes that she can find friendship in Maki, but she does not see Maki while Maki recovers from the stab wound.
Hiroko and Emi then visit Rina in the hospital ward. Hiroko throws away a love letter from Yousuke to Rina that she was supposed to deliver, then claims that she and Emi had three-way sex with him. Emi acknowledges this(even though it is news to her). Rina tosses both of them out. After treatment, Rina is discharged. She tries to go back to her party lifestyle, but cannot force herself to behave as she once did. She goes back to the club, where Emi apologizes for the hospital visit (claiming that Hiroko put her up to it) and states that Hiroko overdosed on drugs. Rina decides she is ready to have sex with Yousuke, but he has second thoughts after seeing Rina's mastectomy scar.
Rina goes back to the hospital rooftop to jump, but is stopped by the head nurse. The nurse says that Maki wanted her to live, but Rina claims that Maki has not seen her recently. Then, a nurse pushes a wheelchair-bound zombie-like Maki onto the rooftop, who says that the only reason she is still living is so that she could meet friends like Rina. Maki has a terminal illness: an unspecified neurodegenerative disease. Rina finds her purpose in life, transforms into an angel of mercy, applies to nursing school, and cares for Maki during her final days.
the content's quite long... so here's a trailer ^^.
okay, somehow, it looked like another touching movie O__O. looks really, really nice... btw, the main actress, Keiko Kitagawa who acted as Rina, was also the female main cast in Handsome suit as Hiroko Hoshino! *great shock*she looked so different xDDD. but there's adult content(i think), so it's not suitable for the project. hellofatime, that damned project - WE HAVE TO ACT OUT *HOLY*. gaaaahhhhhhh whatever. idk =____=.
anyway, here's the theme song and the lyrics translation. this is so touching ;__;.
Dear Friends by SOULHEAD
With my lies and my facade I've hurt you many times I do not need friends Or so I thought Until I met you
"No one I can trust anymore" I closed off my heart I couldn't see straight anymore But you were the one who Believed in me,always.
Even if this world disappears My time spent with you will live on Even now, I remember that time and it's tears It will live on forever Dear Friends
The scars and the pain will not go away Even now We share those times together Beyond those tears
I could see tomorrow, Because I am not alone Being the smiling face I want you to remember me
Therefore, the way you are is necessary I would like to go on living together with you
Even if this world disappears My time spent with you will live on Those memories of smiling faces I'll never forget Dear friends...
So long as you are here And always by me I will be strong "I'll sing to you"
Even if this world disappears My time spent with you will live on Even now, I remember that time and it's tears It will live on forever Dear Friends
In the darkness I'll become the light which illuminates you I might become confused But I'll continue walking I can still Hear your footsteps Dear Friends...

Boys Before Flowers (꽃보다 남자) is a 25-episode South Korean television drama broadcast by KBS2TV in 2009. This is the Korean drama adaptation of the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango. It is the equivalent of Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden and Japan's Hana Yori Dango (TV series), and thus making it the third televised version to air on television screens. Synopsis A middle-class girl, Geum Jan-di, becomes admitted to a rich, prestigious school known as Shinhwa. The school is filled with rich people who can afford to go there. She becomes admitted after saving a student from committing suicide. At the school, she meets people with various personalities. There are the mean girls, fake friends, and last but not least: The F4. The F4 consists of 4 people: Goo Jun Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo, So Yi Jung, and Song Woo Bin. Goo Jun Pyo is the leader of the F4 and is also the heir of the Shinhwa group. At first, he insults and makes Geum Jan-di's life miserable after she humiliates him. The only person who seemed to have sympathy for her was Ji Hoo, who saved her numerous times. However, as the drama progressed, Goo Jun Pyo developed feelings for Geum Jan-di. It turned out to be a twisted love triangle between Geum Jan Di, Goo Jun Pyo and Yoon Ji Hoo. Relationships Jun Pyo and Jan Di Jan Di initially hates him and his two friends, Yi Jung and Woo Bin. She is the only one who is strong enough to stand up against Jun Pyo after he tries to humiliate Min Ji, Jan Di's only friend at the school. Jun Pyo then puts a red card in Jan Di's locker which indicated that she was a victim for F4. After continuous bullying his feelings for Jan Di begin to develop.
However, Jan Di dislikes him for what he had done to her and she already has taken a liking in Ji Hoo (although she believes she likes him, she later finds out it is just a friendly like). Jun Pyo persists in showing Jan Di his affections towards her and after the event of going on a date with Ji Hoo, she realizes her feelings towards him. As their relationship becomes official, Jun Pyo's mother becomes an obstacle. She does everything possible to prevent Jun Pyo from being with Jan Di. Later on Jun Pyo gets hit by a car and remembers everything except for Jan Di. A crippled girl, named Yumi, who is at the same hospital with Jun Pyo, comes into the story and befriends Jun Pyo. Yumi and Jun Pyo hosts a pool party, saying that they are going to go overseas to the U.S. to study. Jan Di, desperately trying to get Jun Pyo to remember her, shows Jun Pyo the necklace he gave her and throws it into a pool. She asks him if he knows how to swim. Then Jan Di jumps into the pool and Jun Pyo's memory is triggered and rescues Jan Di.
Jun Pyo realizes his inner blackness in episode 6 and thinks Jan Di, which translates to "Grass" or "Field" in English, really represents his true love.
Ji Hoo and Jan Di When Jan Di was being bullied after receiving the red card, Ji Hoo was the only one who offered her consolation. Such generosity made Jan Di seem to develop feelings for the soft-spoken Ji Hoo. However, his first love was Seo Hyeon, a lawyer and a model. He even followed her to Paris, as So Hyeon went back to Paris. While he was gone, Jun Pyo took action on Jan Di and she ended up liking him too. But when Ji Hoo came back, Jan Di was in a state of confusion, not knowing who she really likes. Eventually, Jan Di comes to an understanding of her feelings and chooses Jun Pyo. At New Caledonia, Ji Hoo comes somewhat begins to like Jan Di and this develops throughout the TV series.
For his friendship with Jun Pyo and wanting Jan di to be happier, he leaves Jan Di. We can see that whenever Jan Di is going through hard times, struggling or is depressed, Ji Hoo is always there for her, not wanting her in grief. In addition, he gives lots of advice when she has problems with Jun Pyo and encourages their love, as his definition for love, is making that person happy. According to Jan Di, Ji Hoo is her "firefighter" and "guard". This plays a role as Ji Hoo always knows where Jan Di is somehow and puts the "fire" out in her heart or "guards" her from any physical and emotional danger there might be. Ji hoo never really tells his feelings directly to Jan Di - the first time he attempted at this, Jan Di fell asleep and the second time, he hinted that he liked her however she did not hear. The third time, he confessed to her by giving her a family heirloom i.e. a ring which was his mother's, however Jan Di rejected him. She stated that no matter how much she tried, she was not able to forget Gu Jun Pyo. Ji Hoo accepted the reality of not having Jan Di as his girl, but he is always their for Jan Di when he hears the alarm (a signal that he feels when Jan Di needs him). Ji Hoo stayed with Jan Di until the end and will always protect her.
Yi Jeong and Ga Eul Ga Eul is Jan Di's best friend since kindergarten. Ga Eul starts developing romantic feelings for Yi Jung after he helps her get over her boyfriend who just played with her and took her on a fake date to help set Jun Pyo and Jan Di back up again. At first, it's obvious that Yi Jung only thinks of her as a good friend when he says he doesn't like girls that are "nice, idiotic, or involved with his friend". Ever since Ga Eul helps him through his self-destruction, Yi Jung finds out that Ga Eul, not Eun Jae has always been by his side. He eventually shows some feelings towards her, especially when he promises to visits her first by the time he comes back from Sweden.
Cast Koo Hye Sun: Jan Di is from a poor family with a fierce and weed-like determination. She first liked Ji Hoo, who was the only one who showed any compassion while she was bullied. Eventually Jun Pyo begins to fall in love with her, and as he expresses his feelings towards her, she gradually begins to reciprocate those feelings. Jan Di later is determined to pursue the medical industry after realizing she can't swim because of her shoulder.

Differences between the other versions In the Taiwan version, Jan Di's character was an only child. In the Japanese and Korean version, she has a younger brother. In the Taiwan version, the heroine attends college. In the Japanese version, the characters are in high school in season 1, but F4 (minus Domyoji) attend Eitoku University in season 2. In the Korean version, the characters are also in high school, but the F4 move on to Shinhwa University from episode 13 onwards. Shinhwa High School and Shinhwa University are located within the same campus. In Taiwan and Japanese version, Jan Di’s character was already studying at the school for rich people. In Korean version, Jan Di was admitted after saving a boy for jumping off the roof of Shinhwa High School on a swimming scholarship. In both Taiwan and Japanese version, the relationship between the two characters: Sojiroh and Yuki ( also known as Yi Jung and Ga Eul in the Korean version) is only hinted. But in the Korean version, the relationship between these two is gradually developed throughout the series, being a significant plotline instead of a subplot. Akira, the fourth member of the group, seems to be the youngest in Japanese version, and is unknown in Taiwanese version. In Korean version, Song Woo Bin seems to be the oldest of the four. The Korean version also explores into Ji Hoo and Jan Di's relationship more, much more strongly than the Taiwanese and Japanese version. Woobin's family does not appear in this version, nor does he only have interest in older women.
