cali cali cali cali cali
Man, Cali was just legendary. I miss everything already!!! T___T
Song of the trip for me would have to be...
The guys HATED it but T and I looooved it. We heard it inside the Abercrombie & Fitch Kids store and it was so catchy!
But yeah. I REALLY miss Cali T_T In-n-Out was awesome. BEST fast food hamburgers EVER. You guys should all go. Then, our accommodations at the Residence Inn at the Marriott was AMAZING. A bi-level suite complete with a king size bed downstairs, a queen size bed upstairs, two full baths, a complete kitchen, three TVs and a sofa bed n__n It was just EXTREMEEEEEEE!!!! Finally, although it seemed sketchy at first, our rental van was pretty good as well. It had A/C so we didn't die in the heat and it fit all of us xD;
Our activities consisted of endless UNO games, chilling and squeezing in the guys' beds xD, STAPLES CENTREE (<3 Lakers. the area smelled like shit though), Six Flags: Magic Mountain (X2 = XTREEEEEEME and Goliath = LOLOLOLOL), Inception (we always keep getting screwed over whenever we tried watching it here in Vancouver -____- ), The Expendables (LOLOLOL. Shit plot but the action, violence, gore and lame jokes made up for it), shopping, Laguna Beach (shitty bitch. shittier Japanese food), basic Hollywood and Kodak Theatre, PINKBERRYYYY, house hopping, GOOD FOOD (put on like, 5lbs @___@), Robek's Juice for breakfast, and many trips to the same mall xD; We did many more things but those were the highlights =]
Oh, and I can't forget. We missed our last connecting flight from Seattle to Bellingham on the way home (wtf right? LOL) Such a fun experience but I wouldn't have had it any other way nor spent it with other people <3

Kingyo Sou
And now, as we reach the end of my manga features, I present you with the humble yet heartfelt...
Storyline: 10/10
I love how it's shoujo and it touches on a more mature subject. The relationship between a girl and a handicapped boy is truly one of the most powerful things that I've read about. The storyline is simple and nothing too complicated which makes it stand out. It's also very special and you can really feel the warmth that the mangaka is trying to express.
Characters:10/10
Nobody is perfect and everyone tries their hardest in relationships. The characters of this manga are all such round and realistic characters. They aren't exaggerated in any way at all. Asuka annoyed me a few times though but then I looked more closely and I saw myself in her. You can really relate to these characters or at least feel what they're feeling and their character designs are really cute ^_^
Overall: 10/10
I love Kingyo Sou's simplicity and emotion. The manga has made me cry multiple times even after reading it twice. That's how wrapped up and how affected I am by Asuka and Masami's story. It's just feels so genuine and shows real problems that real couples go through and none of that overly dramatic things that you would normally read in typical shoujo manga. Kingyo Sou taught me many things about relationships and will definitely be a manga that I won't forget. =)
I REALLY want to read til the end of this manga. Unfortunately, the scans aren't as up-to-date =(

Something bad will happen if my ratings aren't at least perfect and above n_n HAHAHAHA
Storyline is just awesome. I LOVE IT! Although it gets abit repetitive at times, it's just so hilarious that you don't even notice at all. You will know what will happen (or at least the way things will flow) but now exactly WHAT will happen. Also, the idea of a double-life with extreme opposites is just hilarious, especially when the evil side comes out when the good side is trying to lead it's life.
Character-wise, they're awesome too. The PUBLIC OBSCENITY HAIRCUT must NOT be underestimated nor frowned upon!!!!! Hahahahah. Character designs are just fucking A. They can't get any better. Their personalities are also beautif- errr...horrifying. :D Different quirks, different issues but they all come together and it's just SO funny.
Everything is just really really funny. That's why I love this manga xD; It's like Kyou Kara Ore Wa but even more vulgar and profane. It has a live action movie and an anime so you can actually HEAR the songs being played. It's really awesome overall. I LOVE DMC.

Mirai Nikki
I've been following this for a while now and couldn't see the future of it whatsoever. I wish I had my own...
Storyline: 9/10
It's just so unpredictable and full of WTF moments that it's great. However, because of the vast amount of WTF moments found throughout the manga, Mirai Nikki has pissed me off quite abit. It isn't that bad though and I guess it's good to be slightly annoyed once in a while =P I really like the concept of the game but not so much the violence. The chance to become the god of time and space through a dangerous game requiring merciless bloodshed is just n__n Yeah, Mirai Nikki is pretty good. Although except for the fact that the protagonist always wins somehow despite his wimpy attitude, everything else is just that unpredictable. I wouldn't be able to tell what will happen next or what kind of backstabbing will occur.
Characters: 9/10
Each character is very psycho in their own way and the more important characters have their own back stories which is revealed throughout the manga. They are all also very distinct with their quirks and personalities. Some may be stock-type characters but then there's always something, no matter how little, that screws them up. It's really interesting actually. Now that I think about it, maybe it's a representation of each corner of the human psyche! O___O Okay, maybe I'm just over-thinking things now =P In any case, the character designs are pretty simple. Nothing too special but there are some really unique ones =D Each one fit their personalities pretty well actually =]
Overall: 9/10
The backstabbing and the twists and turns make this such a suspenseful and mind-boggling thriller that a violent and psychologically interested person would absolutely adore it! I'd recommend it to that kind of person (as if it wasn't obvious enough) or just anyone looking for something more interesting. The art is appropriate for every scene, the story is well thought out and the characters are all so special n_n Mirai Nikki will definitely have you guessing what's in store :'D

Palty Pure Natural
Woooh. This post is waaaaaaaay overdue. I want to share anyway =P So it's about my February hair dye experience using Palty Pure Natural. I forgot to take a picture of the box so I just took one off of Google Image!
So, here's before pictures. Three months after my experience with Orange Biscuit.
I left it on for around 45 minutes and here are some after pictures after I woke up the next day. Sorry I don't have any immediate pictures. I got lazy ^_^;;
I tried my hardest to make the pictures look as similar to each other lighting-wise so you guys can get an idea of the change and colour.
The colour may not look that different but there is a slight difference. Pure Natural is more brown and less orange. I think that's about it =P I chose Pure Natural instead of Orange Biscuit because Palty has bleach in it and if I chose Orange Biscuit once again, my hair would become an even more gross orange colour. I don't have much pictures since I don't have much confidence in the ones I took. Sorry!
I have to do one of these again soon since I recently dyed my hair again a few days ago so keep an eye for it!

Okay. I can't come up with anything for this because then it'll take away from the Storyline section =( Anyway, here's...
Storyline: 8/10
It just seems impossible. This girl gets into the show business so easily! It's a modern day, rags to riches, Cinderella story with a REALLY spunky girl, a prideful boy and a sophisticated but mysterious man. Yeah, it just seems soo impossible but it happened and the way she went about it was really funny! Although it touches on some general things such as the Japanese yearly events, it does have a bunch of it's own surprises that spices things up alot! Unexpected developments come along and the cliffhangers are placed in the most rage-worthy of places because you REALLY want to know what will happen at times but you can't find out until the next chapter comes out n_n Yeah, it's really addicting xD;
Characters: 8/10
The characters personalities are all pretty expected and their interaction is predictable as well. There is minor development throughout so -1 for that. Each character has their own quirk which makes them unique and lovable. It's really hard to understand what they're thinking sometimes which isn't a bad thing imo. The less predictable, the better! The character design is definitely suited for the bishounen style that both male leads have in both looks and personality *drool* Their chibi versions are just to die for as well. Kyoko looks really off sometimes though o_O Also, the company president is worth mentioning. I think he'd cry if I don't same his name =P Lory Takarada. =D
Overall: 8/10
Filled with many different types scenarios, this manga is really entertaining! It is, after-all, set in the entertainment industry so it HAS to be entertaining. =P It's really funny and really serious at the appropriate times. Would recommend this to those into modern adaptations of Cinderella stories and unorthodox methods of attaining goals. There's an anime adaptation for it but it doesn't capture the whole story since it's only got 25 episodes and the manga is still on-going. I tried watching it but I just got lazy =( Also, my video streaming doesn't seem to work =/
