of social network interface... -_-

ok... let me clarify, I'm a regular facebook user,

thought I also get on to twitter and google+, but then, facebook's the main "hangout" area...

but then, on the apps interface wise...

hm... I've to say,

google+ is kinda getting more attractive,

at least, it works for me,

the better one is their mobile apps interface,

maybe I'm kinda bored with the facebook's blue,

and google+ gives me a little bit of other colours, green, red, and so on...

twitter??

well... in a way, twitter is easy to use sometimes...

"cleaner", easier to respond, that's all... easy huh?

haha!

"Yankee-kun to Megane-chan"~~~^_^

ya! "Yankee-kun to Megane-chan", ie. the bad boy and miss specky! ^_^

adapted from japanese manga... (of course, nowadays... hardly find any originally written script from the team!)

anyway,

I must shout!

I must say!

I must tell!

that, I so so so so so love this show...

first of all, of course it's because I really like Narimiya Hiroki,

just that, this show has been sitting in my harddisk for quite some time... ^_^,

ok... I like Narimiya Hiroki, but I don't know how this show is, so, I "procrastinated" in watching it!

next...

I first seen Riisa (Naka Riisa) in BlackJack SP,

my first impression, hm... she's not like the typical japanese girl look...

then, I saw here again in "Kimi no Shizuku", with Kamenashi Kazuya...

oops... I didn't finish the show... I used to like Kamenashi, but then... the "liking" didn't last quite long,

when I saw Riisa in there, I was thinking... ooi!! she's quite kawaii! but then, I didn't recall immediately she's that "serious" lady in BlackJackSP!! but then, of course, being the queen of japanese drama, of course, I then recognise her...

not until very lately,

I came across a very happy (yes, I was laughing most of the time when watching it!) dorama, LUCKY 7!

I watched it for Matsumoto Jun, for Matsushima Nanako, but then, I love the show absolutely, for almost every one of them in LUCKY 7!!

I loved the fight scenes between Shinda and Shuntaro!

and I like the way they argued with each other in the agency!

anyway, then I saw Riisa again, cute! <:-3

she acted like a very "spoilt" girl, had a pet dog (she forbid people from treating her dog as a dog!) and she wears expensive clothes... haha!

and it's actually because of Riisa, I went back to dig out my "Yankee-kun to Megane-chan", yes! though I seriously like Narimiya Hiroki since "Orange Days", but then, cos, he can really act in "funny" shows, so... I don't really like... watch every shows that he's in...!

anyway!!

never regret watching it!

then, I told him about this show,

I told him that, I love seeing Hana disturbing Shinagawa,

he responded by saying that I'm very "comical",

I then told him that ya...

it's not that I don't like love story anymore,

it's just that... for many years, maybe ever since I'm a mom,

I hate watching love stories... particularly those love stories for grownups... those stories are boring, stressful, and most of the time... depressing!! serious!!!!!!

but watching this type of "puppy love" kinda love stories, is so refreshing, and amusing most of the time, and yes, I love it...

in the beginning of the show, I thought, it's just another similar type of dorama like "Gokusen", ie. Hana = Rumiko!! oh!! you know, both wear specs, and both are damn good fighter, kinda legendary! and again, both use the specs as their "mask", to be a normal girl!!!

that's why, he said, my view about "love" and relationship is very "comical",

see!!! the reason why I like it, it's because, it's pretty simple,

you like a person, you let him/her know, that's all...

there's nothing to be ashamed about...

but in the grownups world, yuck!! very complicated... ahem... that's why, being a Kimura Takuya's fan, I still have not watched "The Moonlight Lover", the one he's with Ling Chi Ling! ^_^ gomen ne~ Kimura-kun! (kakakakakakaka!!! yuek!)

and ya, I particularly like Riisa in this show, soooooooooooo blooooooooooooooooody kawaii ne~~~

and especially I like her voice, ya, I've already thought that, she's cute voice, when I saw her in LUCKY 7,

but then, this show, "Yankee-kun to Megane-chan", is even better! cute to the max!

anyway, watch watch watch it!!

kakakakakaka!!!

oh ya, by the way,

when I see Riisa,

her right cheek reminded me of Takeuchi Yuko,

and her left cheek reminded me of Fukatsu Eri, haha!

both are my favourite, and yes, Riisa's smile, if shown on the angle from her left cheek, with that "mole" on the cheek, is really very similar to the one of Fukatsu Eri... ^_^ just a note!

"Simple handbook for being a Mom"... 《 妈妈的心得 》

saw this online,

ok... it's a note for myself, if not for you... ^_^

《 妈妈的心得 》

当妈妈其实真的很简单，不需太多学问，太多道理，太多的话。

只要静静的用心的专心和孩子谈话，多陪伴孩子去做他们想要的人事物，煮些妈妈的拿手好菜给孩子吃。

孩子们就很开心和满足啦！

and I'll just do a very simple translation here... * since this is my english blog... ^_^

being a mom...

"in fact, it's pretty simple (the writer did not use the word "easy", kaka!) to be a mom,

one doesn't need to be very knowledgeable, or full of reasoning, explanation, coaching, or grandmother stories to tell,

being a mom, you just have to really pay attention to what your kids wanna say, and chitchat with them as much as possible,

spend your time, to do the things that THEY want to do,

preparing some homecook meals for them,

that'll be enough to keep them happy and contented!"

ok... to a certain extent, I fully agree and want to be one!

and therefore, I kept this note... ^_^V

There's a hole in my Bucket!

she heard this nursery rhymes first in my ipod, ie. iOS's apps...

then, she heard it again, (another version) on an album, we played for her in our car...

somehow she was "attracted" to the tunes, and start singing, (without the correct lyrics, but she got the tunes right!)

so, I told her, I'll get the lyrics for her, and teach her how to sing correctly...

there, that's the lyrics,

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, with what?

With straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

With straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, with straw.

The straw is too long, dear Liza, dear Liza,

The straw is too long, dear Liza, too long,

Then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, cut it.

With what shall I cut it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I cut it, dear Liza, with what?

With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, with an axe.

The axe is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza,

The axe is too dull, dear Liza, too dull.

Then sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Then sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, hone it.

On what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

On what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, on what?

On a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

With a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, a stone.

The stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza,

The stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry.

Well wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Well wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, wet it.

With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, with what?

try water, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

try water, dear Henry, dear Henry, water.

In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza, in what?

In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, bucket.

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

it's a funny song... if you ask me, even the tune's funny...

then, after I sing and get the sequence right,

I was telling him, that, after singing this song,

if I'm the guy Henry,

I'll want to scold Liza, "damn woman!! moron! that's why I tell you THAT there's a hole in my bucket LA!!!" haha!!!!!!

similar song to this type of sequential nursery rhymes are...

(you can go check it out!)

"hush little baby!",

and "farmer in the dell!"

well... it's quite "challenging" even for me to pick it up... cos, you gotta get the sequence right...

kekekeke...

natural born mama...

Nope, I'm not… as I told him, I'm not a kid person, and I'm not a woman who loves kids…

Yes, my mother was one, I guess, he's one, but I'm not…

Lately, I've been thinking, I grew up playing games, board games, and some sort,

Do I still like playing them now??

Is there any games that I'll still love to play, and that I can play with my baby???

Yes, she's been really bored lately, especially when hanging out with me,

Cos, I'm not a kid person, and I'm not a game person, ever since I stepped into y 20's, I've been a PC person, that's all…

When I asked baby, "do you know what's mama's hobbies?"

She actually answered very accurately, "computer!",

Shame, and happy at the same time!! Haha!!!

I'm not a born mother, loaded with abundant of motherly love…

I'm not… just not!

It's not that I wanna find some excuse for myself, it's just that, I think, I'd better reckon that's just me…

That I don't have to force myself..

Rule of being a "happy" mother, no. 1, love yourself, ^_^

Yes… that's why, I've been persuading myself that I am just like that… just like that…

I still dance, and sing and read books to baby, that's all I can do…

Cos, I'm more of a "sit down" person… any activities that need me to get my butt up, and jump and run… ooh!!!! That's beyond my liking…

I tried to bring her downstairs to the playground, to walk around the pool for two days,

I was so so proud of myself, that's all.. But then, I guess, she feels that those activities are not my cup of tea, and that, she also didn't quite enjoy it, and that, she never really bugged me of taking her downstairs if I don't offer…

That, I see that, she doesn't quite hanging out outdoor, with me, particularly, so, I called off the idea…

I'd rather stay at home, stay indoor and spend time with her,

Sometimes, read books, sometimes, dance, sometimes sing, and sometimes, listen to some audiobooks…

And most of the time, we watch TV together, my shows, not hers…

The thing is, she actually watches, maybe she's forced to, or maybe she thinks mama likes it, so she must like it too…

Anyway, so, I've to be cautious in what I'm watching,

A little bit 12+ rated, I'll watch it on my tablet,

A little bit "dark", I'll watch it on my tablet… that's the use of my tablet, and I love it…

Those that I watch on TV, I guess, it's pretty ok… th ough, sometimes, there're fight scenes, or light kiss scenes, and for sure, she asked a lot of questions…

So, again I think, it's ok… sometimes she watches, sometimes, she goes to play her toys…

And I'll entertain her when she offer her "food" to me… that's all…

Comes about watching my TV shows… yes, if I you ask me, I'll say, best is still japanese drama,

Especially those showns during prime time…

Those shows are not too bad, not too dark, and not too "SX"… ^_^

And she'll ask questions, and I'll try my best to answer, the kid way…

I guess, I'm just doing what I'm best as, and I guess, she just like it this way, or at least, she's comfortable this way,

Especially when it comes to those shows, with kids, with school children, she sure will watch with me…

Well… I was telling myself,

Maybe this is a way to teach her about life…

In my opinion,

There're a lot of things/experiences in life, that I can't possibly teach her, and she can't possibly really need to experience it…

It's shown in the show, and I explained to her,

For eg. Bad things, bad friends, bad consequences,

For eg. A little boy cooked for his mom, the mom was happy, cried… I explained,

For eg. A man ate some food, thought about his past, cried, cos, when he's that small, the mother was never around, and the fridge was forever empty… haha!!! I then hope she'll appreciate that, I'm staying home with her… ^_^

For eg. I watched "SCHOOL!!" just a while ago, ya, she was watching with me, and yes, there's topic about friends, about learning, about family… so, I thought they're quite nice…

And again, I thought, japanese drama, in the end, it's all about love, it's all about bright side… so, I thought it's suitable…

Again, why I thought it's suitable, cos, I also just watched "lives of ommissions" lately, TVB show, cops and mobs… if you ask me? I think, THIS is less suitable for kids… haha!

See? that's why I like to watch jap show so much!! ^o^
