Delay.

~Once again, I want to thank all those who wished me a happy birthday. Since I don't really celebrate it, it really makes my day.

-
-

For example,

Should I say;

How should I say?

-



As irresponsible as I can ever imagine; I am a very terrible author.

The above illustration is none other for the up and coming new one shot that everyone has been waiting since 29th June. It is still a pity that I still can't upload anything on FF.net.

It is not as if I have violated something.

Stripped.

Another mean of getting it uploaded awaits...Anyway:

To ease the wait, since I too can barely wait, 'No Title' will be released on a new opening date of the 16th of August. A day later to celebrate someone's birthday; that I hope all Mai-Hime fans know whose birthday I'm celebrating.

-

For all those awaiting 'No Title', 'Companion', 'Paper doll' and 'Perfume Jukebox~Remix'. I have something for the entertainment and the fun.

I use to do this with my siblings when we were young and I have found out recently that it is still as enjoyable as it always had been.

Here is it:




I have done up two comic pages of a very small segment from a Mai-Hime one-shot that I have been writing recently. So there are two pages...where is the entertainment? This is how it goes:

'Fill up the speech bubbles of both Natsuki and Shizuru, and the black panel with anything that you want.'

Easy isn't it? Give it go and let's see who can come up with the most hilarious or the most fitting dialogue the two can have with each other in the span of two pages. I will post up the original dialogue of the two pages on another post after everyone has their fun and entertainment in wracking those two up.

Feel free to get out of the box.

Indeed, there are no limitations.

*One can leave your created dialogue by posting a comment for this post; no worries, anyone can leave a comment. Feel free to do so. A side note, the comic page is read from right to left.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha presents: Fate T.Harlaown.

She's has that X factor that makes me go insane that sometimes I wonder why Nanoha grasp the fact that Fate xxxxx her. Well, maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. The series doesn't explicitly tell us what happens between the two.

However, it itches me to find out what exactly happens between A's to Strikers. The NanoxFate interaction makes me shiver in anticipation.

-

Onto something else, shall we?

The memories of something bring about the ideological conflict between the mind and the body, tempting oneself to do the extremes of an end and sometimes nothing at all.

The conflict however does not disappear once something like such is done and gotten over it. That is how some things reoccur, due to the memories that are once again jogged our system, to wage a war between the mind and soul.

Then again...

What was I talking about?

Pardon my drag, but I haven't been mentally sane and physically healthy to do and say something coherent.

Break.

Period.

Oh well...

-

Sometimes, life just makes things unexplainable, so much to like what I experienced on the train not too long ago.

I was caught staring through a reflection; well, it wasn't really my fault that the person sitting on the other side of the train was something to ogle at. I'm not a pervert or anything, but anyone or anything with exceptional beauty should be respected.

Properly.

After all, I wasn't the only one that was staring.

The train jerked, jolting me up from my light snooze. I eased back onto my seat when the nasal announcement for the arrival to the current station sounded overhead. I heaved a breath, watching the people that entered the train through weary eyes.

I didn't notice her when she step into the carriage; it was only when I turned to look at the hard plastic panel I was leaning on, then did I notice her in the reflection.

My eyes widened slightly and I turned around casually, in order to steal a glance at her beauty. Indeed, she was a wonder. It's so rare to find one sitting in a train.

Geez.

I turned back, noting that staring wasn't much of a polite manner. Instead, I choose the option to look at her through the reflection of the hard plastic. Yes, it is mighty cliche and cheesy, but let me just say that her beauty was like that of Shizuru; a mix of elegance, grace and a unique air of individualism.

It wasn't long before my stop was the next to come, with that I stole one last glance at her through the reflection and I was taken aback when she was looking the other way.

The other way meant looking at me, in person.

Caught red handed.

Ouch.

However, I didn't know what brought me to turn my head around and look at her. As expected, I found her looking at me in the eye. Yet, what was unusaul was that she was looking at me with such fervour that I found it hard not to smirk.

I did, eventually, when I got off my seat when the train arrived at the station. To my surprise, she passed me a warm smile and allowed a sparkle to settle in her eyes.

I felt my cheeks burn when I exited the train.

So much for the unexpected.

-

I was caught in a cross fire of words between Aki and K', much to my dislike when I was trying to figure out something important at the very moment. Terry wasn't being any help either since he settled himself on his seat while he watched the two bicker, literally over my body while I tried in vain to shut the noise out:

Aki had herself latched onto my side, like always when she wanted my help, while K' on the other hand, much cold and stoic like ever, just narrowed her eyes on me.

Her gaze, certainly, could not be ignored.

'Why won't you say anything?'

I looked up from my page and arched an eye brow,

'I have no say in this?'

'You do.'

I motioned to Terry that leaned over her knees to look at Aki that moved over to get something from her bag,

'He is the peace maker, by all means, go to him.'

She frowned and folded her arms across her chest, there was a second of silence before she asked me again,

'Why aren't you trying to get involved?'

I passed her a smile,

'History repeats itself.'

Aki flopped herself down on the space beside me, and I looked back down at my page,

'Much like Man and his mistakes.'

Don't we all fumble and tumble, pick ourselves up and strive forward? Yet sometimes don't we also forget to learn from our fall, that we allow the same things and problems to bite us back in the face; again?

Don't we all learn through mistakes?

If we make an effort to.

-

Then again,

Cheers!

Birthday.

06.29

Happy Birthday J-Crusader!

Romance fills the air with 'No Title'!

Well it was to.

'No Title' was to be uploaded today on FF.net, but due to some technical errors that either my computer or FF.net was facing, I was unable to post it up.

For that, I am really sorry for those awaiting the new one-shot. However, no avail! I will upload 'No Title' as soon my computer or FF.net overcomes the technical glitch. This, I think it is most likely something wrong on my side.

For everyone that has been waiting.

I bow and apologise.

-

Onto another SS:



Guess which image is this part of?

Those who have read the 'Prologues', voted and seen the results. I'm sure you will have a good guess where this comes from.

Until I can finish writing this very long one-shot, I hope all will continue to support this story and its production.

Thank you for the hard work.

-

There's a new addition to the column on the right. Scroll down and one will be able to see the 'recommend' section.

A message popped into my mail box one day to ask me what stories that I have written that are considered good to read. I had wanted to reply saying that all the stories I have written are equally good. Until I realised that apparently the Mai-Hime SS I have written are very different, apart from the fact that all of the stories are part of the romance genre.

Hence, I replied, saying that I will do something on my homepage that will have my recommendations.

I haven't finished the 'recommend' column yet, but rest assured, I will not only recommend my works, but those of other writers on FF.net too. They are, after all, writers that have written works that have grabbed my attention, though how simple or complex their works are.

All of us procrastinate, but I will keep on updating that part; since I have to do the banners too.

*Click on the images (Banners) to go straight to the stories on recommendation.

Once at the recommended site, I hope you'll enjoy the written works; Mai-Hime SS or not.

The Galaxy Fairy meets...



The Frontier songstress!

I can't get out of the Macross Frontier fun, even when there is a fickle minded protagonist in the show that thinks too much about flying in the sky...

Geez.

And they both of them fall for him.

How the world is very unfair, even though how fair we try to make it.

I went back to my old school and I walked into the library to find that it had changed quite a bit. However the librarian was still the same lady when I was studying there.

I said a few 'hello's here and there and then finally ended up at the counter. I walked up to the side and said my hello to the librarian and she was so happy to see me again; since I practically camped in the library in the last year in this school.

I had a very short hilarious conversation with her and it made this special day a lot happier. It went somewhat like this:

She looked at me with a bright smile and I placed my free hand on the partition that went to my chest. I smiled back and she started off in a nice easy talk of where I was studying at the moment. Then suddenly it came onto a path where she had thought I was studying the program for the graduates in school.

I was confused and rose my eyebrows,

'Aren't you always here with that girl?'

'Which girl?'

I looked up to scan at the library and looked back down when she said,

'Your friend that always comes here. That girl...'

Inside my head, I was very much confused since I couldn't make out which friend I came to the library all the time with...and furthermore a girl. Then she continued, quite unexpectedly,

'That girl, with the tall boy.'

It struck me like a bolt and I laughed, a bit too loudly, and snickered behind a grin.

'Oh! You got the wrong person!'

I didn't follow after that, since my head was filled with the two that she was referring to, and somehow she could accidentally mistake me for someone else.

I'm impressed.

I didn't even know how she could link me with those two.

I wasn't even close to them.

The human mind works in wonders and I question, why?

-

To S.L.Y.K, Aki, A.K, Major, lil'nutcase, Chinney, Joz, Gunner, O.K, and Lala.

I know that the following might be quite a drag but this is for you:

Sometimes, I wonder why, you still say a hello to me when at times I completely ignore you. Sometimes, I wonder how you can tolerate my dry sense of sarcasm and get away without getting hurt quite badly by it. Sometimes, I wonder why you hug me, pounce on me, strangle me and do whatever you do to me, and let me scowl at you and throw a fit.

Sometimes, I wonder why you can still look at me in the eye and say things that critically hurt both sides and still get away with laughter that will eventually engulf us. Sometimes, I wonder why you can let me break you and allow me to come crawling back to your haven to seek refuge, where I feel that I am not even allowed to step inside.

Sometimes, I wonder why you can let me play with the sensibility of others, and even your own, when you know that it will only make things worse; yet you still say that everything is alright.

Sometimes, I wonder why you can let me continue to whine, groan, and procrastinate while others keep moving on; while you continue to stand by my side and say lets move along.

Sometimes, I wonder why you are willingly to hold me until my aches and pains are gone even when the sun has set and the darkness fallen. Sometimes, I wonder why you are willingly to slap me in the face with facts that things are to be this way and not the other, and know that I seemingly have the power to bite back to make things crumble.

Sometimes, I wonder why you leave me on my own when I'm on the floor whithering in pain, and you on the other hand, stand so far and just pretend not to notice. Sometimes, I wonder why you allow me to keep your secrets and sometimes don't. Sometimes, I wonder why you share your true tears but not your real laughter...

Sometimes...

Sometimes, I wonder why you are always there. Sometimes, I wonder why I am being so selfish. Sometimes, I wonder why you are still here beside me, in front of me, behind me.

Sometimes, I wonder why.

Sometimes I just realise that things won't always be like that. Sometimes, I realise time is running out. Sometimes, I have to say Happy Birthday.

Simply because, you make me happier.

Thank you for being there for me; until now.

-

Then again,

Cheers!

Captain.

Ride

On

Earth.

Ranka Lee, Macross Frontier Songstress!

Sheryl Nome is the Galaxy Fairy...There's a difference there, and don't ever get the both of them mixed up.

The image above is for Cyberano's up coming work, 'Frontier Generation: Wings.' I have read a bit of it and I smell the romance in the air and Oh...

It is heavy.

Those up for some Sheryl/Ranka, head down to read Cyberano's work at FF.net, ' To the Ends of the Galaxy'. It is five good chapters and those who really find Alto a prick in the foot, one can really relax while reading this work.

*Just a warning note, it is rated T for a reason and it has the same content Mai-hime/Otome has, so those who don't like such themes, then just skip it. No one is going to get mad over it.

Then, a cheer,

To Cyberano.

A fever gives this:



Mio-chan! Oh and not to forget:



Ayaka-chan!

Characters out from a radio recording I heard recently when I was living out my fever. It was very funny, as the conversation between the two recording artist went as such:

The topic was focused on Mio practising her English she studied in Japan, and she was to talk to Ayaka in the second language. They were on a timer and Mio was just babbling away, in vain to finish up the last few seconds,

'Aya...Ayaka!'

'Yes?'

*Just a side note, Ayaka speaks very good English.

'I...I..Power!'

Both of them laugh, quite loudly, and Ayako goes,

'What, excuse me?'

'What time...'

'What time?'

Then they laugh again, Mio breathes, quite exasperatedly and exhales,

'Ayaka Love!'

Then there's silence and one can hear giggling from Mio and a chuckle from Ayako. Mio follows up and emphasises on the love again, Ayaka chokes out,

'Mio, me...me too.'

'Oh thank you!'

The laughter erupts and then suddenly Ayaka continues on by saying,

'I love you, I miss you, I want you.'

'Thank you Ayaka!'

Then the timer buzzes and they laugh harder. Both them return to speaking their native language, laughing away on the radio.

God, I didn't know that one could get a dose of yuri over a radio program.

I were to do my thumbnails today but I ended up doing another series of thumbnails which had no relation to the assignment I was suppose to work on.

I was really deviating then.

But then again, 'Aye, Captain!'

-

Back onto Mai-Hime SS:

A new one-shot titled, 'No Title' will give its debut on the 29th! Despite me saying earlier that I will only update a new one-shot when the polls are closed, I will uploaded this new one-shot to everyone that has been waiting for a new one-shot from me.

A big sorry to those awaiting for 'And I was the concierge', it is a very long one shot and I have a feeling that it will go beyond the document limit size on FF.net. Yet, no avail, I will upload 'And I was the concierge' once I have finished writing it.

To all that have been supporting me!

Thank you for the hard work!

Before I had my days of camping in the house, Aki dropped by and pulled me over with her to the Hokkaido fair that was being held downtown. I was already feeling sore at the neck, but I didn't mind spend a little more time with her before she left overseas again.

The fair was held at the basement and I had a hard time standing still since the crowd pushed us along even when I returned to standing back at my original position. Aki wanted to try out the salt caramel croissant, so she dragged me over and spoke away in her native language to the old lady that stood behind the counter.

I looked at her and then back at the old lady that looked dumbfounded at what Aki was talking about and I cut in politely, giving a small yank at Aki's hand,

'Can I have two salt caramel croissants?'

The old lady then nodded hastily and turned to tell her assistant what I wanted. I paid and turned to find Aki huffing away; I followed her quietly as she walked in front of me to the other stalls.

'You better eat it when its hot.'

She gave me a look and I knitted my brows together in amusement. I pulled one to her face and she reluctantly took a bite, before taking the bag from my hands. I took a bite off and she looked at me as if I did something wrong. Then,

'Ah! You ate it!'

I brushed my mouth, and she moved to the side,

'I thought you hated caramel.'

'When did I ever say that?'

'Since the time I wanted to buy caramel sweets back.'

I shrugged my shoulder and Aki swatted my back.

-

He looked at me as if I had found out a secret, which apparently was the fact and he found it very hard to believe that I knew. He fidgeted in his seat and I reached over to take a sip of my milo before nodding at my fellow classmate that walked into the canteen.

'It was obvious.'

He jerked his head towards me and his eyes widened,

'That can't be. I never said anything; I didn't do anything.'

He shook in his seat and I stretched my fingers,

'Well, I could tell.'

'That doesn't mean they...'

I looked at him and he chewed onto his bottom lip. I could tell he was dead-right worried, then again, who wouldn't be when a secret was leaked out?

'Don't worry.' I passed him a smile and he seemed to have relaxed just a little,

'You're secret is safe with me.'

He gave out a soft breath of content and smiled back at me,

'Yours is too.'

It wasn't made long ago, and all I can say that a silent promise is not to be broken, even when one didn't say it out aloud.

Silent or not.

Are you keeping your promises?

-

Then again,

Cheers!

Ceramic.

Meet me.

That I am glad to say.

The fourth chapter of 'Companion' is out! Makkron Forest: Reflections. Stay tuned for the second part of this sensational chapter. On another part of 'Companion', the below image was done to show the height difference between Natsuki, Shizuru and Mai in Companion.

As you can see, one will roughly know who is the tallest amongst all.



Apart from that, the results of the poll on 'Your favourite Mai-Hime one-shot' remains closed until a clear line on which one-shot is the most favoured among the Mai-Hime one-shots series

Those who do not know the stories that fall under the one-shots series, they are as followed:

More than Fine

Photos of only you

Phantasm Finality

To be continued...

No Limitations

No Red

They are not in order of favourite, so... just vote on the one which you like best! Until the line is distinguished, I'll be keeping a new one-shot from being released. That, one will have to wait.

Onto another SS:



'Perfume Jukebox~remix', the first chapter will be coming soon to feeders, veiwers and much more. Stay tune to what happens after the prologue, one won't know whether there will be any ShizNat interaction or not?

Don't miss out on the ShizNat fun mixed along with Chihaya and Yukiho.

That includes the bookmarks too!

-



Meet Miyafuji Yoshika and Sakamoto Mio.

Ahem.

Let's just say that I already had an eye on these two for a long time, and with the new season for Strike Witches... I hope I see more interaction from these two. Even if it means getting them into petty arguments in who goes after the Neuroi.

-

I met lil'nutcase today, for about five minutes before she had to take off to catch her train back home. So we had a very fast linear conversation that went across the railing that separated in from out. It went somewhat like this,

'What?'

'Oh, sorry, this.'

I handed my gift to her,

'Here.'

She reached inside her bag and pulled out a bar of chocolate,

'Oh, I got this for you.'

She looked at me inquiringly,

'You can eat chocolate right?'

I smirked and nodded while I accepted the bar from her hands. Soon before I could even start up a conversation with her, she went on about her being able to see me more often since she was going to move near my school. With that, she needed to leave and she said,

'Can you give me a hug?'

I looked at her exasperatedly and she pouted,

'You don't get to see me so often!'

I chuckled and I leaned in.

Sometimes, one has to realise that life has its moments of comforts and sometimes the moments of realisation that the ones that you have depended on are still there for you.

To, lil'nutcase.

I thank you.

-

Then again,

Cheers!
