I saw it!! I saw the film (a few weeks ago), but never did I imagine I'd dig it this much. w00t! I have no other journal where I can go all fanish like this, forgive my silliness.

Not only did I love the comic relief, but Captain America!!! asdkjflkfj!!!
He's begging to be slashed, or what?

Those edible muscles... And yet so innocent to the point of naiveness. It stirs the M side of me *g* And makes me want to rip his clothes off of him and make him cry in pleasure.

*cogh*

Sorry, it's been a while since I saw something slashable my mind kinda went nutters :9

I wanna draw... Yeah, just like that. Out of the blue. Captain America is going in circles in my mind...

On the other hand, I think to myself, what am I thinking? I can't draw a muscle, even if my life depended on it *meep* Androginy is my specialty. But whatever. I don't think I can reactivate my tablet... So old style with paper and pencil, if at all. But, no promises. I have so many commitments, it's driving me crazy *ack*



Every now and then I get posts on one of my old H/D fest submissions. It makes me so nostalgic ;_; Is HP fandom still active?? Does anyone know? Does anyone still see my blog, would be the right question at this point, heh.

And I see LJ has changed the interface quite a bit. And then I saw several fiends' journals scratched out or haven't posted in months/years! WAH! That is soooo sad T_T I truly hope they are doing great and wish them all the best wherever they are. They will be missed.



For everyone else who happens across this entry, I missed you! I hope you're doing great and all my best wishes to you <3333

Hi, everyone! Happy 2012!

Hope you guys had a great head start of this new Year!


I’ve had a good year end BL-wise as my BL collection has been increasing slowly, which I’ve been sharing in forums *wink wink* (For those who don't know, BL stands for Boy's Love which means Slash in Japanese terminology :P)

But on the other hand, I have to make room for the new ones and get rid of my old ones. They are old BL novels and comics that I was planning to throw away, but if these books can still find a new home, how better than to end up in the garbage bin, yeah?

So, this is a free give-away. I won’t ask a dime for the books as they were destined for the dust bin, just the shipping fee (via Redpack with tracking number and all) to your country.

The only mean of payment I can accept is by Paypal. Sorry for the inconvenience >_<

PM me with your titles of interest, the country you live in along with your paypal mail addy.

I will return your PM with the shipping fee according to the weight and destination.



( Under the cut is the list of available titlesCollapse )

Hopefully, they all find a new home *g*

If you want to know more about the novels, synopsis and such, feel free to comment here or PM me.


Cheers~!

Hi, everyone! I hope you guys have been doing better than ever! What's new?

Gosh, I've definitely been missing LJ! Feels like home :D

Here's some of my recent news. I have set up a new personal goal. It's a wee project that I'd like to discuss with you guys, so feel free to drop your comments about it.

My passion for M/M slash and all things yaoi is still going strong. Lately, I've been reading Yaoi novels like there's no tomorrow. And I've found some exceptional gems that really need to be shared with the rest of the world. So I want to fuse my RL with my hobby and start translating them into English.

Now that I've found the first novel I want to tackle, I've looked for some English speaking publishers and found some.

But now I don't know which way to go, like the eternal dilemma of which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I've contacted the Japanese publisher asking for translation permission which hopefully would get a reply from sooner or later. *crosses fingers*

But what next? Should I offer my service to the publishers or finish up the translation first and send it to the publishers and see which one would be interested? Or is it common for them to have established trasnlation agreements or some such?

I’m not quite sure how this works. *hmm* Does any of you have any theory? *hehe*

I just started the translation, so there’s a long road ahead of me (it gets interrupted by my RL, too), but so far so good. I’m enjoying it and hopefully I can find a way to fulfill my personal goal.

A second member of X-Japan passed away today.
It's Taiji, the basist and original member of X and X-Japan.
Hide was the first to kill himself shortly after X-Japan dissolved back in the 90's.
After 18 years, Yoshiki, Taiji and the remaining members reunited and are in the midst of a world tour.
Actually, they were to come in my country by September, but what's going to happen now, I wonder??

Either way, Rest in Peace by Hide's side, Taiji.

I've been contacting my friends from Japan. I've offered sending daily necessities to them, but not a lot of my friends were directly affected, so instead they told me they could use cheerful news in this dark and gloomy hour.

Everyone in Japan, not just the vicitims of the Earthquake & Tsunami, is affected somehow or another, especially now with the latent threat of meltdown at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. I can only imagine their worry and stress level.

They need emotional support from us more than ever.

So I ask a grain of help from my F-list to drop a supportive comment or two in this entry to the victims or to the Japanese people in general who are going through their worst crisis since WWII.

I've set out on a mission to translate every good wish and repost them at my Japanese blog at Ambeblo.

And if you feel inclined, please spread the word about this so that our voices of support can be heard to Japan and let them know that they are not alone in this.

Let me hear you!

Mar. 17, 1st blog post is up

Most of you might already know this site, but for those who don't, please read the messages in the link below. Reading them made me cry, but also made me proud to be Japanese. Japan is not alone in this and together we will reconstruct the country. However small, however far away, I won't give up in aiding in whatever I can.

One message that struck me hard was from an operator working hard at the Fukushima nuclear plant...

It read "Even if we die, we won't let a meltdown happen".

It's been reported a M6 Earthquake in Shizuoka Pref. There is no worry about Tsunami this time and hasn't been any damages.

Today's the second day since Tokyo Electrics has announced programmed blackouts and the Japanese economy is starting to be affected.

Trains are either being suspended or limited, gasoline sale is being limited to $2,000 yens per car, people can hardly lead their normal life even buying food is mostly limited to packed or canned food because of the blackouts, going to work or school is becoming very hard.

Many large companies are asking their employees to stay at their home.

Being deprived of electricity is seriously affecting people's lives as well as the economy. But Tokyo Electrics estimates that the programmed blackouts might last for a month.

I've tried to follow up closely on any piece of news concerning Japan's latest quake, that's where my roots are and it concerns me a lot. My relatives and friends are all safe so far, yet there are so many people suffering over it and I feel their agony so much. Mexico is also prone to quakes and every 20 years or so, there's a huge one that affects the capital. The last one was in 1985 and by 2005 a quake should've striken the city, yet it didn't. So it may very well be the next quake victim.

But it's distrubing. It's disturbing because the information that Tokyo Electrics is providing is not precise plus, they keep changing by the minute so it's causing more confusion and chaos, and as for the nuclear plants, I'm not sure if the official information is truly real... I just have a feeling that they are hiding someting.

I'm hoping that after this event, Tokyo Electric closes down all its nuclear power plants and use alternate energy resources. This nuclear threat is like reliving the nightmare of WWII. No more nukes! I hope to God that this threat doesn't become another Chernobyl disaster.

On the other hand, aftershocks of the quake haven't ceased yet, Tsunami's are still a latent threat, so the quake relief and aid haven't advanced as much as I hoped.

I belatedly realised about the Help Japan project on LJ so I didn't get to sign up for it, but as soon as the Japanese Embassy in Mexico issues any means of donation, I'd like to do it. Why the hell the President of Mexico announces nothing is beyond me, tho'. /irked

I ask all the people who happen to see this post, please donate any amount of aid possible to your local Japan's Earthquake Relief Options.

Thank you in advance.

Two nuclear plants in Fukushima prefecture were affected by the Quake and the cooling system is not working properly because of the tsunami and Tokyo Electris (who owns the plants) is working hard on restoration, but none of the methods have been effective and there's no promise as to when it'll be completely restored.

Because several plants of Tokyo Electric were in the affected northeast region of Honshu Island, nine prefectures, including a few areas in Tokyo, will have progammed blackouts since Monday, 14th beginning from 6:00 am to 10:00pm.

The water suplly is cut off in more than 5 prefectures confirmed, but it is estimated that there will be more affected regions.
