kyu-to is cute

Today I finished watching the japanese drama Q10.



The story: Heita (Sato) is an ordinary high school boy with a kind heart but no real interest in romance. His class is joined by a transfer student named Q10 (pronounced "kyu-to," the same as "cute"), who looks like a girl but is actually a robot. Together, the two end up causing trouble at school, and Heita even begins falling for Q10.
It was a really adorable story.  Unfortunately the end confused me as hell (*.*) It was a good drama but not one of the best. I'd give it a 6.8/10. But it's definitely worth a look.
Something that really got me was the quote at the very end:

世界を愛せよ
今は見えなくても 自分を信じろ
いつか目の前に お前が信じた物が形をもって現れる
その日まで・・・
Translation:
Love the world
Even though its invisible now, Believe in yourself
One day before your eyes, the thing you believed in will take form and present itself to you
Until that day...

Even though they are not very realistic I just love asian dramas. Why am I always getting so emotional about them? *sigh*
           
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to have dramatic relationships or unrealistic adventures in my life. I'm very content with a stable and realistic relationship and a normal, happy life. But I still love to watch them. Something about them just gets me... wonder what it is? Yeah, I really love watching them even though I don't take them too serious. And sometimes, really just sometimes, I also like to have some super dramatic romantic love scene in the rain in my life.
On other notes.. SHINee released the teaser for the japanese Version of Replay (!____!) I am so excited for the single!

birthday presents

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Lola~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEE!! ♫
Wohoo, apparently it was my birthday (figured). And of course I got many awsome presents
My Dad gave me a new webcam because my old one had no microphone, and the video quality was just horrible. Now I have a super HD Webcam with Microphone. Yay, I can't wait to test it out. Finally no more annoying sound problems / looking like Sadako because of the video quality when I skype.
My Mum and Stepdad are paying for my trip to Paris next month and the concert ticket for SM Town (Oh yeah, I got a ticket). So I will be blogging about SM Town in Paris and Paris itself soon. I have to go alone to the concert because nobody of my K-Pop friends is going (;_;)  But at least two of my none-kpop-friends will tag along and we'll stay in Paris for 4-5 days. By the way.. they are a couple.. I'm so going to be the third wheel...  but I don't care. SHINee, TVXQ, Suju, f(x) and many more are waiting for me, kekeke.
My own birthday present (something I gave to myself) is a bunch of CD's from yesasia.com. And then I got cash from the rest of my family which I'll save for my driving license and stuff. And some books, a really pretty make-up case and CD's from my lovely friends.
Lastly a very, very awsome present which deserves an own post is here: SHINee  :D

SHINee fanart

My friend Ellen send me some beautiful drawings as a birthday present.
They are really pretty so I wanted to share them (^^)
It's mainly fanart from the korean boyband SHINee we both like.

I totally cracked up about the notes she added. There was a whole site just describing SHINee's charakter if they were girls (>.<) Haha, you're awsome Ellen. Thank you, I will definetly hang them up in my room <3
PS: Please don't use the pictures without asking.

I found this amazing artist on deviantart! His name is Teekatas S., an illustrator from Bangkok, Thailand.  He makes really beautiful water colour pictures, they are just so sweet.
On his side you can download cute folder icons and wallpapers for your computer for free.
Here is the link: raindropmemory
I immediately downloaded a bunch of them and redesigned my desktop (^^)
Here is a screenshot of it:

Cute, isn't it?
The folder pics are enlarged because I can't see them otherwise. My eyesight is pretty bad, hehe.

a little less eighteen candles

This is just my personal blog where I muse about life and random things. I'll skip the introduction.. just read and get to know me if you want.
Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday. So, 2 more hours to go until I'm an 'adult'.
For some reason I always imagined becoming eighteen would be so special.
When I was a kid, 18 was the age.  Being still young but already all grown-up and mature. Now that I look back I can still remember how we all seemed to think that life would just change within one day. Driving a car, drinking alcohol, being able to make decisions for yourself (not having to listen to your mothers nagging anymore) and all that stuff. I really couldn't wait for it to come.
And now, having exactly one hour and 53 minutes left till that big moment I'm all flustered and confused.
Nothing really changed. I still feel way too young for my age. And thinking that I'll actually be eighteen so soon. It just plain scares me.
So, while I always thought being eighteen would also be the start of my life as an adult in reality I'm still just ... something inbetween.
But now I don't even know if I actually want that. I like being young and not having to worry too much about life (laugh).
Seventeen was a really good year. I went to Japan as an exchange student. And, maybe for the first time in my life, realised who I am and, more importantly, that it is ok to be the way I am.  I made friends which will be there for me wherever I go. Made experiences, grew  and had to make decisions which only I could do.
Yes, I do think I became more mature during this time. But still.. I just don't feel 18 (well, I'm still 17 as I write this).
Because of the catastrophe in Japan I had to come back earlier and made some not-so-pretty experiences.
But that's ok.  It just makes me stronger (not that I need to be, I already have a quite strong personality).
So, now that I'm 18, I have heaps of plans for this year. First of all, getting my driving license! And going for a trip with friends! And skiping class and writing the excuse paper myself!
Woah.. it will be so much fun. (*.*)
OK. Ready for my eighteen candles.
