Chibi Maruko Chan
So cute!!
I'm reading "ももこの話" (Momoko's story) now. It's about a little girl's thoughts, a short collection of essays on various topics during her growing up years. It's very entertaining, very funny. Quite a few times I laughed out while reading it on the train. I liked it so much i told my bf about it, hinting him to buy me other books of the same Momoko series. Hehehe (^-^;) It's half the price to buy it in Japan!
And guess what? This Momoko character is actually a cartoon character. She's apparently quite well-known as "ちび丸子ちゃん" (Chibi Maruko-chan). There's even a drama series based on her. She's so cute!! Now I'm searching for the anime to watch. Meanwhile, just entertain myself with the anime's opening song....

New craze, new fan?
My knowledge of Japanese songs is limited to J-pop idol groups like Kinki Kids, Tokio, V6 & my favorite J-rock band Glay. My bf isn't interested in any of those above coz it's just too "young" for him, i guess. He's into Okinawa music & singers who've been around for 20+ years. Groups like Southern All Stars (they debut around the same time i was born!) Thanks to him, now i've a wider range of songs to listen to.
My latest craze's Natsukawa Rimi. My bf's a fan of her. No surprise he'll recommend her songs. I downloaded a few songs recently & now i'm hooked! She has a very sweet voice. Check out this site to listen to her hit song "涙そうそう" (Nada Sousou).
I still love Glay. Just taking a short break from J-rock now... heehee...

Live life to the fullest!
I just watched a depressing documentary today on the "worst aviation disaster in history" --> crash of 2 jumbo jets in 1977(The Tenerife disaster). Tracing the events that led to the crash, it seemed as if everything was pre-destined. Haiz....so depressing... 500+ lives lost just because of human error. Only a handful of them survived.
Now I start to feel super worried about my bf flying to Singapore next month. It's the IMF month. What if terrorists cause trouble? Think I'm begining to behave like my mother --> overly pessimistic & worry about everything & anything! I'm hardly worried about taking flights, or safety in Singapore. But when it concerns my loved one coming all the way to visit me, I just can't help but worry...
Recently my mother kept saying "You don't know what will happen tomorrow. So do what you want now. Eat what u like now!" Sounds like an excuse to pig-out on food huh? hahaha!
I agree with her. We only have one chance to live our life. We may have planned a lot for the future, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow. So live life to the fullest & treasure your loved ones!

Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.Take the quiz
Fairytales
I'm hooked on a mini-series recently. It's on cable TV's Hallmark channel, every evening at 8pm. It's "The 10th Kingdom", an interesting mini-series about 4 persons who'll save the kingdom. It draws many references from familiar fairy tales we grew up reading -- Snow White, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella etc... Last night's episode was funny. 1 of the characters was cursed and her hair kept growing. She was later caught & imprisoned in a tree-house with no doors. A wolf-guy who's crazy over her climbed up her long hair to save her. Do you remember the fairy tale for this?
