High School of the Dead


It's been a very very long time! I remember i was like 13 or 14 years old when I started this blog. I haven't been blogging for almost a year because I was too busy. Luckily my vacation just started & since my trip to Barcelona is canceled, I've got plenty of time to blog ^^

Yesterday my brother came in my room, asking me to watch High School of the Dead with him. He knows I hate horror. He kept poking me till I finally agreed & watched the first episode with him. Since it's an anime, it's not that scary ^^

I've to say this anime is really good. The story is very touching.
"A mysterious, lethal disease is on the loose worldwide, resulting in a catastrophic death rate of humanity, and the increasing rise of attacks, caused by the living dead.

In Japan, several high school students and a school nurse have banded together to escape Fujimi High School shortly after it was attacked by zombies. The group now attempts to figure who or what was responsible for this plague, and in the meantime, attempt to survive the present apocalypse.

The story is initially narrated through the eyes of Takashi Komuro, one of the students who had survived in the initial outbreak."

Click to watch the first episode: [x]

But sometimes I think they can make anime less perv. You know, the girls appear with huge boobs & supershort miniskirts making you think: OMGWTF, is this hentai or something?! =.=
See for yourself. Hmm... I guess the boys like it..? :/

Bird Poo for beauty face mask

Maybe you've read about this kind of beauty-treatment before...
I've read somewhere about Victoria Beckham using bird poo for her face against acne, but it's getting more popular.

While millions of women are snapping up age-defying skin creams, the latest miracle cure for a sagging face has just arrived "nightingale poo". The bird droppings, applied in a 90- minute facial, are packed with an enzyme called guanine – an amino acid which heals the skin, experts claim.

The treatment has already been used by Japanese geishas to remove make-up and leave the skin silky smooth, while monks polish their shaved heads with the droppings. But, before you squirm at the thought of people scraping up bird excrement from city pavements or car windscreens, the poo is thoroughly purified before being lathered on to your face.

'The droppings, which are applied as a mask with Japanese white clay, are completely safe and treated under UV light to remove bacteria,' said Hari Salem, owner of Hari's in Knightsbridge, West London.

Bird Poo Treatment, lol :D


I know it's a bit gross & sounds disgusting, but I still wanna try (xD), but it's so expensive!! O__O

Skip-Beat!



I just started watching the anime Skip-Beat! & fell in love with it!
Right now, I'm up to date. Aahh, when is episode 25 coming?


Skip-Beat! (スキップ・ビート! ,Sukippu Bīto!?) is a Japanese shōjo manga by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is the story of Kyoko Mogami (最上 キョーコ ,Mogami Kyōko?) a 17-year-old girl who discovers that her childhood friend and romantic goal, Sho Fuwa, only keeps her around to act as a maid and earn his living expenses, as he works his way to become the top pop idol in Japan. Furious and heart broken, she vows to get revenge by beating him in show business.


It began as a manga in 2002, then they made an anime 2008 (still in making) & now I've read they're gonna make a Taiwan-drama of this story! (Extravagant Challenge) Not only that, Jerry Yan (Yeaaah, from Meteor Garden) & Ariel Lin (from It Started with a kiss) will headline this new production!!!!!

Monokuro Boo

Monokuro Boo are anime-style characters that were created by the Japanese company San-X. The characters are composed of two pigs, one white and one black, with square-shaped bodies, dots for eyes, a snout, and a curly tail at the back. They are occasionally seen with a bee flying around them.

Their earliest appearances date back to various licensing and gift shows in Japan in 2005.

Monokuro Boo's tagline is "Simple is Best", and one or both of the pigs can also be seen with speech bubbles that say, "Boo", "Love?", "Enjoy?", or "Happy".

The character is licensed under RM Enterprises (BVI) Ltd., who takes care of the development and promotion of the character in Asia, as well as other international territories.

According to Monokuro Boo's unnamed female designer, the concept of using monotone colors for this character was a deliberate deviation from the general trend where all things and characters that are cute (or "kawaii") have to be in bright and colorful palettes.

By introducing a line of merchandise that come in black, white and gray, the designer hoped to prove that it is possible for such a concept to be accepted and entertained by the general public, consumers and fans of kawaii merchandise in general.

In line with the character's concept, the name "Monokuro Boo" is also a derivation of the words "Monokuro" ("Monochrome") and "Boo" (the Japanese onomatopoeic equivalent for "oink"). They are asian pigs.

Despite Monokuro Boo's statement that kawaii does not always have to be colorful, San-X has also created a spin-off line of products which features smaller, pastel or candy-colored pigs known as Baby Boo.

Baby Boo
Baby Boo consists of seven pigs who are named and colored as follows:

Berry – pastel red
Peach – pastel pink
Orange – pastel orange
Lemon – pastel yellow
Mint – pastel green
Soda – pastel blue
Grape – pastel purple/lavender

Baby Boo's tagline is "Are you happy?" ("anata wa shiawase?") and "So Happy With You*" ("anata to iru to tottemo ureshii*"). As with Monokuro Boo, a bee-like insect is also seen hovering near the Baby Boo, except the bee is made to look like a strawberry (or ladybug). Some of the Baby Boos also say, "Poo ♥".
