Happy birthday to my blog! I am glad I am able to maintain it and am still writing though my schedule has always been random. And thank you to everyone who has supported me till now. Please support me in the future too.

About the past year – Reflecting on the last year, there were a lot of changes in my East Asian loving life. I got to experience a country which was a mixture of all the cultures I am fan of. I will call the last year as the most fulfilling year of my college life. Otherwise, I had lost hope with respect to my dreams. There were additions to fan girling not only from South korea and Japan but Thailand too.

Last year was a year of discovery of lost resolves and passions and taking some great decisions and making some great friends too. And I am very happy with my progress. Thanks to all the people who joined me on my journey and helped me out there.

About the recent happenings – Well as I told in my last post, I went to my home for around 9 days and I haven’t been able to come back to my normal life, thanks to the messy food of the mess and the high temperatures in Pilani. It’s so sleepy all around in the afternoon.

On the other hand, I don’t know, but I have become too hungry for good anime and all I keep doing is trying the ones which I once deemed not good enough after reading the plots and asking people for anime recommendations. I have started covering two series in a row, in one day sometimes. Now I realize, I have lost the patience to read manga too.

I am trying with Japanese novels (translated to English) and I got a book from library on Anthology of Japanese literature. I hope I finish them soon. And I started writing for a website too. The topic I chose was anime and manga reviews again since they didn’t have anything related to it before I started. It’s getting a little tiresome though, to be honest.

Not to mention, I am getting tired of people who, when hear anime, only talk about the mainstream ones – Naruto, Bleach, DeathNote, One Piece, Fairy Tail etc. I am not saying that these are not anime or I dislike them. I know they’re the ones that generally introduce people to the world of anime but anime are far more advanced and varied. To use just these names and then say that you’re anime fan, I personally, don’t approve of it. EITHER say you JUST like the series OR watch some MORE anime before claiming you love ANIME!

I must add, that I am still inexperienced even after watching 300+ anime series and movies in last four years compared to the real hardcore fans out there…… Coz coz, when I ask someone for anime recommendation, I get to know that I haven’t watched 5+ series out of 10 being recommended, till that time, just because I won’t like the plot after reading it. But the fact that the recommending person has watched them and I don’t know about them, makes me mad!!! 

About the future plans – I was going to make a page listing all the anime I have watched. I got this idea from a Korean lover’s blog I followed recently. Hmmm…. the list will become too long then. But I need to list them somewhere, at least. That reminds me, Fairy tail has started again. 1st episode with subtitles was released yesterday only. I am not a big fan of long running series. since they tend to be full of fillers but fairy tail was stopped at a very crucial point. And the secret of Dragons is coming out too, slowly.

I am thinking of making a page for different pics like a Thailand gallery may be, so that the people who are just interested in seeing the pics and not reading the posts may refer to there directly.

What else? Oh, my language learning, of course. I have decided to take a small break from Korean as of now. Since I am taking JLPT this July, I want to focus on Japanese till the time I get confident enough for passing N5. I’ll keep working for the vocabulary part for Korean though. Actually my Korean study wasn’t going that good anyway apart from the vocab.

I think I have rambled enough for today. Subsequently, I am gonna write about the anime I have watched. A lot of reviews are to come soon (probably)….
