Because I can get tired too after repeating my answers every now and then ^^
So where are you from?I'm from Hawaii, was raised in Malaysia and am now residing in Los Angeles.
Why hana-hime?First of all, it's pronounced as ha-na-hee-mei. The word 'hana' means 'flower' in Japanese and I chose it because it's a shorter and cuter version of my name 'Hannah'. The 'hime' at the back means 'princess' in Japanese *cringes* Originally, I wanted the name hana only but someone beat me to it so hana-hime it was.
Although I've never stop regretting choosing this name now. hime omg..... I don't want to be some sparkly princess doll swathe in poofy pink dresses with glitter omg and if I could go back in time, I would whack my then self hard on the head with a hairdryer.
Who designed your blog?Me. I spent one whole day working on it ♥
Why does some pictures from your older posts have a different url on them?Ah. That was because my previous blog used to be on Friendster.
Why are some of your posts written in gibberish?It's because they are encoded and password protected. Email me if you want the password for them and a reason why :)
Why are some faces blurred/pixelated/covered up?That would be my family (with the exception of 2nd sis) because proud as I am of them, I do not want strangers knowing too much of my personal life.
OMG, wth, etc....Since some people nastily called me the Queen of Slangs *looks pointedly at Ammy* and kept asking me what certain acronyms stand for, here is a guide:
atm = at the moment
ihu = i hate you
ilu = i love you
ilusm = i love you so much
irl = in real life
omg = oh my goodness/omigosh
otp = one true pairing
imo = in my opinion
srsly = seriously
wth = what the heck
What language is 'lah', 'hor', 'sibeh' etc. ???Well, those are either Malaysian slangs or Hokkien words (a Chinese dialect) and to be honest you don't need to know the meaning to understand what I'm trying to say. It's mostly used as some form of superlatives or just a guide to what the tone of a certain sentence is.
Eg. I sibeh hate that shop assistant hor!!!
Meaning: The 'sibeh' means 'really/a lot' and the 'hor' is to express that I am more of annoyed than murderous.
WAIT, WHY AM I EVEN EXPLAINING ALL THESE....
Anyway, you aren't missing much if you don't understand those slangs lol. Plus I don't use those terms anymore ever since I moved back to the states so you'll only see them in older posts ^^
Anyway, here's a rough guide for some terms:
Boh liao = lame
Chio = pretty, better, awesome
Sibeh = very
Siao = insane
Suaku = outdated/ignorant
And because fangirling takes up like half of my blog ever since I stumbled onto the Jpop fandom by accident thanks to Astro, I think it requires a space of its own too:What is LiveJournal (LJ)?The BEST site ever!!! To make it simpler, its simply a mixture of Blogger and Friendster. So you can blog there and do all the usual stupid things you can do on social networking sites like friending people and whatnot. But the BEST thing is the communities where you can have a comm. for your fav. fandom or whatever that tickles your fancy :DDD There you can download all media imaginable the moment it's released, complete with subs if you want. Examples would be videos, tv shows, movies, songs, dvds, magazine scans, lyrics, translations, fanfics etc. of your fav. band or whatever. So go sign up now at www.livejournal.com heh :)
What is JE?NO, it's not that pig virus that plagued Malaysia during 1999. Instead, JE stands for
Johnny's Entertainment (Ok if you want to get technical then its Johnny & Associates (J&A) but that sounds so stuffy and has more keys for me to press so JE it is to me heh) and is a company that manages all the top boybands and male idols in Japan. Some of them would be NEWS, KAT-TUN, Kinki Kids, Arashi, SMAP, V6, Tackey & Tsubasa, Kanjani 8, Hey! Say! J.U.M.P etc.
What is this NEWS you keep talking about?Actually it's more of a who than a what.....*points below*
Top from left: Nishikido Ryo, Tegoshi Yuya, Masuda Takahisa
Bottom from left: Yamashita Tomohisa, Kato Shigeaki, Koyama Keiichiro
The greatest hottest J-pop band ever imo ♥ Their name is an acronym for North East West South (yes, damn lame name but JE aren't exactly creative when it comes to giving names -_-)
Caught a glimpse of them on Astro, got swept away by their looks, googled them, discovered the shiny world of pretty boys that is JE and the rest is history. Hollywood pales in comparison to the Asian fandom ever since.
My favorite is Massu~♥ and Tegoshi, both who also form the duo Tegomass (also known as Tegomasu) -my fav. duo ever- and yes, I can rant about them forever and ever so be warned...
Who is Tegomass/Tegomasu?Here's a picture of them:
This is them looking cute
Like super cute right? The sweetest and cutest singing duo ever. Their voices are so mellifluous it's like a Japanese version of Savage Garden. The name 'Tegomasu' is a combination of their surnames 'Tegoshi' and 'Masuda'. Yes I know, official namesquish! omg how otp can you get again? :D
This is them looking HOT.
Yes, they are both in NEWS too, which is their main group. Tegomass is something of a side project of JE and they are pure awesomeness. My ultimate fav. duo evaarrr.
And Yunho would be?Leader of the Korean boyband DBSK/DBSG/THSK/TVXQ, yes they go by a variety of names. I don't particularly like them but....
MOST. PERFECT. GUY. ALIVE. PERIOD.
From some of your posts, I take it that you like animes and dramas?Like it? LOVE it!!! I prefer shounen animes and comedy shoujos with lots and lots of bishies :) My favorite would be Ouran High Host Club and Saiyuki. Yes, I adore the Hitachiin twins and Sanzo makes the hottest bad boy priest ever.
About dramas....I only like Japanese dramas. Mainly because they are interesting, refreshing, short and unpredictable unlike Korean ones. Which is always a kind of a 'love rectangle to triangle to finally a couple' plot . Plus, it's usually too long and too full of sap.
o rly? I think animes, jpop and jdramas suck. Who cares what
you think. THIS IS MY SPACE AND IF I SAY THEY ARE AWESOME, THEY ARE :DDDD
