…reverie…

It’s just another little corner where I can scribble on my reflections, babbles about life and my diversions^_^

Long awaited rain~

Filed under: Reflections, Visuals — sha at 9:30 pm on Saturday, January 20, 2007

After weeks of constant dry heat, extreme temperatures and bushfires, the sky finally wept and down came the rain.

The sky seems so dark, the wind’s blowing strong and the showers came passing by. This weather makes me so nostalgic of those typhoon months back home in my old country. Hearing the rain just feels so soothing~

The way to end a hot day~

Filed under: General, Visuals — sha at 10:23 pm on Thursday, January 18, 2007

Spent the whole day rushing around the city making some last minute shopping for twin sister’s Japan trip. The heavy humidity, slight smoke haze and boiling temperature made the day even worse. But just before we hopped on the train bound for home, we stopped by Brunetti’s for some gelato.

raspberry + strawberry flavoured gelato *^_^* Oishiii~
Strawberry and raspberry…oh what a treat it was *(^_^)*

Fixation - MoriSaku voice pair~

Filed under: Seiyuu, BL Drama — sha at 11:51 pm on Saturday, January 13, 2007

Once agian my obsession with the voice pair MoriSaku - (Morikawa Toshiyuki x Saurai Takahiro) has resurfaced all thanks to my recent addiction to Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. When it came out, I think I was too busy with another fixation thus I didn’t fangirl too long on the movie. Anyway due to the utter lack of decent Sephiroth x Cloud fics and my desperation of getting my hands on SephxCloud doujinshi, I had to revert to listening to my collection of MoriSaku BLCDs just to feed my hunger for this pair^^;

Of all their BLCDs, I found that their Slavers series has the closest similarity to their Sephiroth x Cloud ‘relationship’ and voice quality. After two years since I first heard Slavers Kiss, it’s still one of my favourite BLCDs^^ The drama *_*, Sakurai’s angsty performance, Morikawa-san’s dominating Saeki who was actually passionately in love with Shuichi, listening to it again after two years that my Japanese listening comprehension has improved, its grown even more arresting to my ears. Its such a pleasure to listen to this drama. I can even imagine this as an AU to the SephirothxCloud pair*^_____^*

Although there have been quite a few voice pairs who have caught my interest, MoriSaku will always be my number one top. The chemistry between Morikawa-san & Sakurai’s voices is just perfect! It’s just a shame that Sakupyon has stopped taking in new BLCD projects (which has led many us to believe that he has quit th BLCD industry) and he is just finishing with the old drama series’ which he has been contracted in. This means I’ve only got this Slavers series by Intercommunications and the Kedamonoseries by Leaf as my last means of MoriSaku feed T_T I just hope they don’t end anytime soon and that Katou Elena sensei decides to drag her Slavers series to a couple more volumes so I will have a few more dramas to this pair. *crosses fingers* (Now if only Sakurai would consider making a comeback to the industry one of these days^^;; One hears his true talent in these dramas. He shines in them, its such a pleasure *_*)

Countdown

Filed under: General — sha at 10:30 pm on Friday, January 12, 2007

Its just nearly a week left before my other half leaves for the land of the rising sun. One whole year without the other half…this is going to be one boring and long year ._. But at least I now have a reason to go over there and finally see the country which I have wanted to visit ever since. This two week trip will definitely kill my savings but if I can make it to summer Comiket and maybe attend a seiyuu event…one of my dreams will have come true ^_^

Spring is here~

It’s been a while since I’ve felt the sun’s warm rays. The clear azure sky so vast above me, I wish I hadn’t taken the car to work that morning so I could have just walked home and enjoyed the beauty of it~

*sigh* I really miss those days when I had freetime to just laze around at home and appreciate the slow pace of the day. Now there’s never enough time in a day. Everyone is so busy in their on little world thanks to work, one hardly gets to spend quality time with the family. I guess that’s what happens as you get older. Life gets more hectic and busy thus you drift farther apart from people.

Anyway, onto better news, Kamiyan had woke up three days after he fell into a coma and he seems to be able to talk eventhough his lung was damaged. Thank you God for this miracle. May he recover quickly and soon be back with us~ I miss hearing his voice*^_^*

Hmm… maybe I should send him another stuffed kitty later on just to let him know that his international fans are still there waiting for him. Though this time I think I’ll actually do some stitchings on the toy with words of encouragement just to personalise it and make it more endearing^^

ginger stuffed kitty - Fight on Kamiyan!
ガンバッテ!! 神谷さん! Fight on! :D

Fight On!

Sending my prayers for one special seiyuu who was involved in a car accident just a few days ago and is now in a coma =_= At first I couldn’t quite believe it but his fellow seiyuu have been writing about it in their blogs as well. He’s so young and his career has just started to flourish, I do hope he pulls through as he’s such a wonderful and talented person!

Fight on! Kamiyan! May our prayers call out to you to come back to us soon!

been a while~

It’s been a while since I posted anything here. Been busy with work and stuff~ Anyway I think I’ll just keep all my all my anime,manga,seiyuu etc. fangirling obsession in my lj and stick to keeping this into my photojournal. I’m quite sure I won’t be able to update often as I’ll only post as the mood strikes me. Oh well^^;

Okay then moving on, these were taken on 03/18 around 9am. One thing about living in this outer suburb is that the cloud formations here are so deverse and picturesque. I never tire of vewing them~

what a drag…

Filed under: General, Visuals — sha at 11:55 pm on Tuesday, December 20, 2005

First there was the christmas party for our staff group, then the ‘carols by torchlight’ last week and now this a x’mas barbecue affair just this afternoon. Geez what a drag. I really didn’t want to go, heck I’m a cactus I hate having to go to these gatherings but no someone had to make me go. ‘You have to mingle with the crowd, working in a place like this, being an anti-social won’t get you anywhere’….*sigh*

Anyway moving on…..after months or not taking any pics of Mika, I’ve fianlly gotten back to the mood. It’s been so hot lately she’s just been sleeping around entire days..poor thing^^; At least I got time to give her a bath today~

Bourke st

Filed under: General, Visuals — sha at 11:48 pm on Sunday, December 18, 2005

At least this X’mas decor they’ve got going along Bourke St is a little better than last year’s one. Anyway it was a tiring day walking around non-stop for several hours, but since Christmas is only a week away, all the shopping had to be done~ Well I could have taken the trams but whenever I’m in the city, I never use public transport to go around even if it takes me nearly half an hour to get from point a to point B, I much prefer to walk.

X’mas…what X’mas?

Filed under: General, Reflections — sha at 10:16 pm on Saturday, December 17, 2005

Just a few moments ago I heard fireworks going off in the distance. I thought the neighbours were just playing around again but then I remembered, it was the fireworks from the Carols by Candelight event in my suburb which means X’mas is nearly here. It never even registered in my mind that next Saturday will be X’mas eve. Gah~ we haven’t even bought dad’s gift yet and X’mas is a week away.

Truly I’ll never feel a real Christmas here. Eventhough I’m surrounded by it when I head off to the shops & the city, the atmosphere is just not there. This season is just way too commercialized here. One of these days, I’ll really have to go back home and at least once agian experience a real X’mas. One where I’m surrounded by my close relatives and following those traditional celebrations which I grew up with~
