Blackforest cake?

birdy's "elegant" blackforest cake.

just completed.

you can pretty much guess why it's only half a cake. there's two layers of cake required in the blackforest.

it would be impossible to finish if it was really a full one. and poor makiyo (birdy's husband) would have to be the scapegoat if that happens.

moo moo's name on it, as blackforest is supposed to be her favorite.

not sure if it's still her favorite now.

cross-section

as you can see (or rather not see), the middle part with the cherries and cream is almost squashed.

brighter and clearer photo (from meow meow)

you basically can only see the squashed cherries.

you need more work birdy.

Hetalia Ep 42

Episode 42: introducing Russia's siblings

and Russia's version of the ED.

NICE!

Tokyo DOGS

new series currently airing starring Mizushima Hiro and Oguri Shun as police officers with totally different personalities working together as partners.

how is it that Hiro always gets the more slapstick character in a dorama?

not that Tokyo Dogs is a very serious police dorama in the first place, cos it's meant to be half-comedy too.

Shun is also funny in his own way; usually when his mom calls him in the middle of his work, or when he tries to make puns with a straight face.

it is only up to Ep4 now, so for those who much prefer to marathon your doramas, best to wait til it finishes in Dec.

which means gives me more buffer time since i'm trying to watch Kyumei Byoto S4.

and start on 1 Pound Gospel.

since most of my current anime subs are released during the weekends and Mon, i can finish watching them, and still have time for one or two episodes of dorama each night.

not bad.

so aside from being sidetracked by a couple of other doramas, Atashinchi no Danshi and Otomen, that means i really might be able to finish at least 3/4 of the list i had back in July.

ohohohohohohoho.

Hetalia Ep 41

Episode 41: "i'm going to try taking away _____'s willpower!"

Momoiro Island

another repost. seriously, they have got to stop removing the video from youtube. or they should stop uploading the funimation ones.

heaven to hell.

under 4 minutes.

mwahahaahaha.

Anime Heroes ~Arabasta Arc~

i actually like the characters in this arc better than the Fuyujima arc. then again, the Arabasta arc is my 2nd favorite arc, No.1 being the Skypiea arc.

anyway, had no space to put them in my cupboard yet. dad is still sourcing raw materials to build my stands. being a little greedy and asking for clear plastic stands now, instead of the white styrofoam ones he made the last time.

temporarily still keeping them in the box where they came from. in fact, i'm gonna keep the box and not throw it out like the previous ones. this one actually looks very pretty. will use it as a storage for all my gashapon-related stuff. it'll come in handy when i need to do any major moving anyway.

without further ado, presenting the Anime Heroes ~Arabasta Arc~


1st row (L->R), Mr.3 Galdino, Mr.2 Bon Clay, Mr.0 Crocodile, Miss All-Sunday Nico Robin, Mr.1 Daz Bones, Miss Wednesday Nefertari Vivi, Marine Ship

Hetalia Ep 40

Episode 40: France VS England

oh gosh. i'm starting to get attached to chibi-America.

CHO KAWAII!!

and another 30secs worth of Chibitalia after the ED. this dream tops the one from last episode's. hilarious.

i'm feeling it again

the SaiMon withdrawal.

had just finished the latest novel (book 14) last week.

and though i still have other books to read (Tokyo Babylon, and the even longer Narnia series), i'm still pining after SaiMon.

it's also probably because book 14 ended with a huge cliff-hanger, that i'm dying to know what's gonna happen next.

Yukino Sai-sensei is a fantastic author.

book 4 of the side-stories will be published in chinese end Nov.



it'll probably be enough to curb my withdrawals for a while.

but i still wanna know what's happening in the main story.

arrggghhhh!!!

Hetalia Ep 39

Episode 39: He ain't heavy, he's my brother

CHIBITALIA!! 30secs worth of it!

damn, they should have more of that instead of the other histories.
but then again, chibi-America is so cute.

KAWAII!!
