I’m in love with Hana Yori Dango

// February 13th, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

I started watching the Japanese drama series Hana Yori Dango today and I love it!

Makino Tsukushi is the only poor student at Eitoku Gakuen, the school of the ridiculously rich and privileged that is ruled by Flower 4 or F4, a group of four boys who come from extremely powerful families:
- Domyoji Tsukasa, the leader and heir of the Domyoji World Finance Group;
- Hanazawa Rui, the introverted son of a large company;
- Nishikado Sojiro, a player who is the heir of a tea ceremony school;
- Mimasaka Akira, a madam killer with ties to the underground.

If a student gets on the F4’s bad side, he/she gets a red notice and is bullied and driven out of school. Makino hopes to pass her days quietly– without drawing any attention to herself– but one day, she stands up to Domyoji in defense of her friend. The next day, Makino gets the dreaded red notice. Even though she is harassed, Makino decides to keep going to school. She declares war right back on the F4. Her resolve gets the attention of her crush Hanazawa Rui and oddly enough, rouses romantic feelings in her worst enemy, Domyoji Tsukasa.

Joli, the cuddly cat (video)

Our beloved scottish fold cat Joli is just so cute! She’s always in cuddle mode, she likes to lick your hands vigorously when she’s happy. When I’m cranky in the morning and I look at her, I’m all happy again haha. She’s so cute and sweet.

Trying out my new Kodak Zi8 camcorder

// January 24th, 2010 // Comments Off // Uncategorized

I just bought this tiny little hd camcorder. It’s a Kodak Zi8. It fits neatly in your pocket and the image quality is pretty awesome, it can record in 720p (at 60 fps) or 1080p (30 fps). As expected, the image stabilisation isn’t all that great, but it’s perfectly capable of capturing nice images.

Morning Musume: Nanchatte Renai (radio preview!)

// July 8th, 2009 // 90 Comments » // Hello! Project

On august 12th 2009, Morning Musume will release their 40th single: Nanchatte Renai. There will be 4 different versions available, the regular edition, limited edition A (+ DVD), limited edition B (+ DVD) and a special commemorative version that contains another b-side.

Today their new single premiered on a Japanese radio station, of course someone recorded it and here it is for you to listen. It starts off sounding somewhat similar to their 39th single ‘Shouganai Yume Oibito’. But then LinLin and JunJun start rapping and a really uplifting, happy chorus follows. I really like it and I already pre-ordered all 4 versions of the single (^-^).

Stay tuned for the PV (= promotional video aka music video) of the single.
