What Happened in 2011?

Since today is the 31st of December, 2011 and the last day of 2011 too, I decided to do a possibly short review about my year. 2011 was filled with a LOT of new things and some minor changes.
This will be based on most of my blog posts and probably add a few things that I never mentioned on my blog.

Utattemita Plans for 2012



Lately, I've been really interested in re-starting my utattemita life once again.
So, that's why for 2012, I wanna try to start an active life of utattemita-ing. (That's one of my New Year's resolution.)

shiomaru's Tribute Album

Promoting shiomaru's album.



Honestly, I'm not a fan of hers. But she's really talented so I'm promoting her album on my non-existent blog. XD

Haven't heard her voice yet? GO DO SO. Kthxbai.



This is one of the songs that's on her album. ( ・∀・)

So, wanna know more about her?
Well, you can check her out on her Facebook Fan Page or YouTube channel. \(o ̄∇ ̄o)/

Comic Fiesta 2011

On the 17th and 18th of December, there was an ACG convention called Comic Fiesta being held in the KLCC Convention Hall. I was there for the 2-day event and I also went for both days. \(^ ^)/

I'm too lazy to type what happened on both days. #pokerface.jpg
There was a post about both days but Blogger decided to screw things up so, I'm just gonna pic dump what I bought during the convention here. \(--)/

I'm so glad I got to own this shirt. O(≧∇≦)O
I'm definitely wearing this shirt to college, once the new semester starts!
I love the Madoka series so much. \m/

Kelly Green Garden Queen - DONE!

Last week, I was playing Kelly Green Garden Queen.
At first, I really wanted to quit playing it cause it was really boring but I felt like the game was mocking me so, I continued playing until I finished the game completely. (*≧▽≦)



The main page of the game. *points above*
Btw, I'm playing the 1.0 version so, I couldn't get gold for Lv 21. Grr!! ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ



Honestly, I didn't know there was a second patch of the game, the one to fix Lv 21 (at first).
But it was really weird that I couldn't pass Lv 21 only so I Google-d it. (´・`)
It turns out that the level was set a little too high so, they released a second patch which I couldn't download or find.
Even if I did, I wouldn't want to play the game anymore. It's too boring and repetitive for my taste.
My trophy room is also incomplete due to Lv 21, ugh. Just because of Lv 21, everything else became a pain. *sighs*

Anyways, challenge DONE! Never gonna touch this game, ever. ( ̄へ ̄)

The Release of BRS2035

Today, I checked up on TheFigureMall because it's the month where my BRS2035 will be released.
(I've been checking on the website for a couple of days already, being all stalker-ish.)
I was wondering when the figma will be released cause I've been waiting for it for months!
I was getting really impatient waiting for her to the point where I felt like bombarding questions, but I didn't.
Really, thankfully, I did not. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Anyway, I saw the status being updated.
The BRS2035 is almost ready to be shipped out. Almost!
Gah, so close yet so far... o(TヘTo)
It's just so frustrating to wait and wait and wait some more!! *flips the table mentally*

I'm just glad I'm currently on sem break. So, I can wait for the postman 24/7. ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ
I'll spam pwetty pictures of her when she's here. ☆

PS: I didn't get to pre-order BRS Beast, unfortunately. It's due to lack of monehss. _| ̄|○
Then again, I want Taiga's The Last Episode (Toradora) figurine more than BRS Beast. Oh, the dilemma!! Geez.

My Mobekimasu Ranking (2011 vers.)

After reading Airiindeshou's blog post, I decided to give this Mobekimasu ranking quiz a try.

Here is the link if you want to try it out yourself too.
http://usachan-peace.jpn.org/hello/sort/sort.html
(You can check out Airiindeshou's blog post for the instructions.)

I've been a fan of Hello! Project for almost 3 years already and my fave members definitely has changed over the years.
At first, I was over-obsessed with Airirin then, it was Yuukarin.
Later, over the recent months, I've been more drawn to Sayumin. She's currently my no.1 top fave member.


(Pictures taken from her blog. I couldn't decide which picture to put so I posted both. ♥ )

【Kagamine Rin】Koi no Hana (恋の華) 【LYRICS (Romaji & Kanji)】

These are the lyrics for Kagamine Rin's Koi no Hana.
Original video and credits can be found NicoNicoDouga.



The romanized lyrics may be slightly wrong. However, the kanji is definitely correct as it was taken from its original source. The original kanji lyrics are taken from here.

Kanji Lyrics
諦めないで 逃げ出さないで この手を離さずに
突き抜けるんだ 邪な恋の罠
抱きしめ合って確かめたくて この手に花束を
君に捧ぐ 最高の恋の華

不透明な理想にサヨナラを
さぁ あなたの瞳にこの震える鼓動が止まらない

諦めないで 逃げ出さないで この手を離さずに
突き抜けるんだ 邪な恋の罠
抱きしめ合って確かめたくて この手に花束を
君に捧ぐ 最高の恋の華

不安定な希望にサヨナラを
もう 震える心が そのあなたの唇で
止まらない 止まらない

諦めないで 逃げ出さないで この手を離さずに
突き抜けるんだ 邪な恋の罠
抱きしめ合って確かめたくて この手に花束を
君に捧ぐ 最高の恋の華

二度と枯れぬような綺麗な華を
抱きしめて そぅ 確かめて

Romanized Lyrics
Akiramenai de nigedasanaide kono te wo hanasazu ni
Tsukinukeru nda yokoshimana koi no wana
Dakishime atte tashikametakute kono te ni hanataba wo
Kimi ni sasagu saikou no koi no hana

Futoumeina risou ni sayonara wo
Saa Anata no hitomi ni kono furueru kodou ga tomaranai

Akiramenai de nigedasanaide kono te wo hanasazu ni
Tsukinukeru nda yokoshimana koi no wana
Dakishime atte tashikametakute kono te ni hanataba wo
Kimi ni sasagu saikou no koi no hana

Fuanteina kibou ni sayonara wo
Mou Furueru kokoro ga sono Anata no kuchibiru de
Tomaranai tomaranai

Akiramenai de nigedasanaide kono te wo hanasazu ni
Tsukinukeru nda yokoshimana koi no wana
Dakishime atte tashikametakute kono te ni hanataba wo
Kimi ni sasagu saikou no koi no hana

Nidoto karenu youna kirei na hana wo
Nee dakishimete Sou tashikamete

PS: The kanji for hana ("flower") is written differently here. It's written as "華" instead of "".
PPS: The last verse of the song might be wrong.
PPPS: Here's the YouTube version.



Enjoy! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Keep Voting for U-KISS on 2011 SBS MTV Best of the Best

PS: This results are from 8 December 2011 (8.35PM; GMT+8).

How to Vote for U-KISS on 2011 SBS MTV Best of the Best

First and foremost, I don't know how to read Hangul BUT I have found my way around on how to vote for the 2011 SBS MTV Best of the Best. So, I'm gonna share on how to vote for your U-KISS!! (ノ´∀`*)ノ
Don't forget you can VOTE for EVERY 10 minutes!
Btw, ALL LINKS OPEN TO A NEW WINDOW.

First of all, go to the MTV Korea website.
It leads directly to the page where is shows the 2011 SBS MTV Best of the Best.

Then you'll see this part and click on that blue link (refer to the picture below).



U-KISS's Tick Tack MV

On the 6th of December, U-KISS's Japanese debut single full MV, Tick Tack, was released.
As many have seen the short preview of the MV, it was nothing short of amazing.
Then, when the full MV was release on that day, it was mind blowing.
Everything is so well done. From the outfits, to the song, to the dance, to the choreography, to the props, everything! 

Here's the MV of it.



In my opinion, U-KISS starting with this song as their official debut song in Japan is a strong start.
Although, I don't know how the fans in Japan will react. I hope this song will be received with open arms.

The song is definitely no-doubt amazing, as I had mentioned earlier.
Of course, no song of U-KISS is complete without Soo Hyun's amazing vocals - in my opinion.
Kiseop has recently been getting more camera time and lines!! I was really surprised when he had so much camera time. This proves that he is (definitely) stepping up his game. I'm really happy for him.
Off topic but Kiseop is growing to be my no.1 in U-KISS, kicking Soo Hyun, Kevin and Eli aside. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Tick Tack's choreography is spot on. The choreography just screams U-KISS, so much!
Kudos to the choreographer. My favorite parts were at around 1:38 and the instrumental break.
Kiseop is still at the middle of the group, for most of the time during the dance shots. ( ´∀`)

Aside from the song and the choreography, their Japanese pronunciation is definitely not forgotten.
As I'm NOT a native Japanese speaker and I'm not very good at the language either but I'm heard my fair share of Japanese songs. So, to me, their pronunciation is quite good. Very clear pronunciations.
I don't hear slurs for the most parts. Although, it still needs to be worked on a little bit more.
There were some parts where I couldn't really understand, maybe that's just me - I think.

Here are some of the screenshot(s) that I took.

Happy 18th Birthday to Myself

On the 3rd of December was my birthday.
I celebrated it by going out for dinner with my family at Seoul Garden.
I miss eating grilled chicken and kimchi and, drinking the kimchi soup. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
Unfortunately, I didn't get a cake on the day of my birthday cause I wanted to delay it.

Honestly, I didn't wanna celebrate my birthday until my final exams were over.
So, I just had dinner at Seoul Garden which was extremely satisfying!
My finals ended on the 6th of December. I can't believe I'm finally done with my finals for this semester.
My sister booked a cake for me from Humble Beginnings.
It's not exactly a cake cause it's actually made out of 20 layers of yummy crepes!

Here's my cake. *points below*


The nice bag to carry the box of cake.


After unzipping the bag, the gorgeous box!


The pre-cut cake.

Oh, I forgot to mention it's a chocolate cake. _| ̄|○
It's really delicious!! I'll definitely be ordering from them again, when I get the chance to do so.

And that's it for my boring birthday "celebration" lolz. (・∀・)
