I thought I had written before why I thought “Shadow of Love” is the saddest song ever. Seems not. So, here goes… There are so many sad songs out there, a good number on break ups and the aftermath, but this one is on longing. The longing to be with someone, to have someone to hold on to. My previous…

Because Pretty Things Don’t Last
Was listening to Olivia Lufkin’s songs, the inspi’ REIRA ones in particular. I’ve always said “Shadow of Love” is the saddest song ever, but really, all the inspi’ REIRA songs have a tinge of sadness to them even if they sound more rock. I guess they truly fit the character of Serizawa Reira and Olivia brings out the character really…
You Can Feel the Pain, Don’t You?
I kinda like the pace like that. Not too bogged down with IG work so I have some time to blog my thoughts. I have been using Spotify a lot lately. Gone are the days of downloading mp3s. This is much more convenient. Doesn’t take up space in my laptop too. But one thing irks me. I can’t find certain…
what’s in your heart?
I’m halfway through a rather interesting anime titled ココロコネク (Kokoro Connect). At first I thought it was a romance anime, but it turned out to be not quite that. It’s a little deeper than just about the friendship between five high-schoolers. These five friends find themselves in unlikely situations all because of a spirit called Heartseed, who is able to control…
devils and realist
Just completed 魔界王子 (Makai Ouji): Devils and Realist. I thought the author/manga artist was rather creative in using characters from heaven and hell to spin a story. While there’s the usual power struggle between both factions, there’s a twist to the qualities of the characters. Some devils are portrayed as kind while an angel is portrayed as one with negative qualities.…
some things are better left as memories
As quoted by a friend, “…some things are better off as just memories.” Couldn’t agree more. Normally I wouldn’t start watching an anime series until I’ve got all the episodes. It’s a weird habit but I would rather have uninterrupted viewing than have to impatiently wait for a new episode to be released. This rule sticks unless I’m too excited…
high school romance
I used to go crazy on manga but stopped for a while since it became a little too costly to keep up. Instead, I turned to online scanlations. Yes, I broke the cardinal sin of turning to online English scanlations, but hey, I read English much faster than I do with Chinese. Well, it lasted for a while until I…
amnesia
Another kyaa-ing post. I have discovered that such anime are usually part of an otome game or visual novel’s franchise. Yes, these anime usually have rather weak storylines but have characters that make you go all doki doki. In Amnesia, the main character (her name is not mentioned at all) loses her memory after an accident and she interacts with…
brothers conflict
It’s here! It’s here! The kyaa-ing post for Brothers Conflict. So the story goes where main character, Ema goes to live in a mansion with her 13 step-brothers after her father remarries. All of her step-brothers develop feelings for her (I think it’s coz they are just surrounded by guys all the time and suddenly a female enters in the…
inori aizawa
Even though I moved on from using IE to Firefox and now to Chrome, I couldn’t resist it. I downloaded the IE Inori version. *ja jang* 可愛いでしょう? Ahem…that was the otaku in me…
