Hi sweetie!!! I AM SO SORRY for that terribly late reply...I ought to be smacked for it!! How's work going for you? I can just imagine you basking in pretty-shoes-heaven~ and not to mention getting paychecks too!! I am currently doing a temp job as I am still on the lookout for a decent full time job which I actually like, so I am teaching high school kids in math and chemistry on a daily basis at the moment!

I'd love to chat with you on MSN, but my computer is giving me problems and I can never stay logged in for more than 30 seconds for some strange reason!!! *kicks dying, wheezing laptop* It's SOOOOO annoying. ARRRRGH.

Speaking of that strange person on FF.net, OH YES, I've definitely received some of his/her PMs!! In fact, he or she is still doing it, even though I've ignored all 15 PMs. I'd totally reply if I could understand what the person was asking, but while the English was fine, the question was barely coherent and I couldn't figure out what he/she wanted to know. LOL. It's okay about the 'biatch moments'...trust me, I have my fair share of them and I am totally with you here! The person was being really rude by spamming us with the same question. You'd think he/she would get the hint and stop bugging us after not receiving a response for what, 15 PMs, but no. *rolls eyes* You're such a sweetheart for even responding to the person! I was unwilling to do so because I just didn't know what to say. There has to be a purpose in asking, right? But the question was just so ambiguous, and so what if I really told him/her who the writers who update often are? Is he/she going to stalk them and bug them for updates and whatnot? *shudders* WEIRD. PLAIN CREEPY.

Judging from the English...well, strictly speaking, I am not even a native speaker, but it sounds as if a mountain troll has miraculously got hold of a laptop and internet connection and was having fun PM-ing people.

Bitchy, much? *grins* But not quite guilty!! Lalala~ You, my dear, on the other hand, totally deserve a big hug for being sooooo sweet!! *HUGGS*

Thank you sooooo much for reviewing The Adventures of Chibimaru!! LOL. I had sooooo much fun writing his little adventures and justifying all the nonsense he does. Don't worry about catching up with HEA/Shanghai and others; real life is so much more important and that will always come first. I'd totally love to catch up on "Between Heaven and Hell" and other stories of yours when you update them!! ^.^ But of course, good things are always worth waiting for, and I'll wait patiently for your awesome updates!!

I've been totally HOOKED onto this SUPER-AWESOME anime titled Hakuouki, and trust me, it's every girl's sexy bishie harem!!!! XD It kinda started from a PSP otome game (which literally means girl-game) and its's based off the Shinsengumi during the Bakufu period in Japan. Sounds pretty boring, but wait till you see the boys. You can even choose from 6 of the main characters and date them in the game!! Talk about awesomeness!! So it got really popular, and gradually became an anime which was airing from April to July of 2010! Season 2 is starting in...a week? *bounces in excitement*Before I bore you to tears with my fangirl rambles, here are some links to their pictures:

The one girl-many HOT!men thing is sending me into FANGASMS!! *wipes drool* What do people do with men who look good enough to eat?? *faints* Awww yes sweetie, braggers are the most disgusting! But of course, the best thing about them is that they are VERY easily identified. Just sit down with one of them at a dinner table for an hour and before you know it, all his negative traits would surface!! XD I am sure you'll find a gem to keep and treasure soon!! Do you remember me telling you about this Japanese guy friend of mine? He's such a sweetie, but I have no idea how things are ever going to work out between us if I really do decide to give the relationship a shot. Of course, that's excluding the opposition from my grandma. You see, we email each other on a regular basis, but recently we've not been contacting each other much. So I sent him a message on Facebook (it turns out that I was the one who had not replied to his last message *EPIC FAIL ME*) and subsequently replied to him via email. It was then when I received another Facebook PM from him, saying that he just wanted to ensure that I received his previous message. So that got me rather confused, like, "Haven't I emailed you?" Then it so turns out that he had lost his password to his hotmail account, which was why he couldn't see my reply. In the recent PM, he was being really cute by giving me two other email addresses to contact him by. LOL. On top of that, he was saying, "If you'd like me to use hotmail, just tell me and I'll create a new email address." LOL. It's something so small, but I thought it was really cute of him.

Aaaa. Dilemma, dilemma.

How's everything going for you, sweetie?? Any juicy updates? Or have you totally found a Jonghyun lookalike already?? *blood pressure skyrockets*

I haven't logged onto Dokuga for soooo long! I'm so sorry. I'll have to get cracking on some more SessKag artwork very soon (and make a Dokuga exclusive artwork! Maybe with a red-eyed Sesshoumaru...). I'm colouring that lineart I did for the RaindropsClub a couple of months ago: Lineart. It's my first time drawing a rain image. I don't know how I'll go about making the leaves and trees look wet... I hope I don't mess it up. XD

Anyway, here's that banner I made. It should be safe to show you now that the winners have been announced: Sess spying on Kagome while she's in the water! I fulled out his face a bit more so he wouldn't look as girly. XD

THAT'S EEEEVVVIIILLL!!! Are you sure you're not one of Naraku's incarnates?? LOL

Yeah, sucks when you didn't save it before posting. I sometimes forget to copy it first before posting coz sometimes my net would be mean and would freeze over, then when it starts working again, it didn't post my message @_@ Then I'd have to start from scratch.

ahahaha, yeah, I have to admit I consider Naraku a hot bishie~ XD He seems to dislike the idea of wearing anything at all when he's injured LOL I always find him shirtless or not wearing anything at all in the anime when he's been beaten up by the Inutachi XD

LOL, I'm kind of contemplating on buying a whole copy of Loveless' DVD. But I don't know what the shop owner would say LOL I mean, the idea of Yaoi's not so welcomed here. So it would be kind of embarrassing to be caught buying a DVD of it @_@ LOL My net's not an option too, coz my net's incredibly slow @_@ haha But still!! Things bishies can force us to do. I'LL BUY ONE!!! hahaha

Oh right! The blonde guy paired up with the cat-eared guy is named Soubi! XD I always referred to him as "that blonde guy dating the cat-eared one" LOL not so specific though. XP

OMG!!! I'm soooo sorry for the SUPER late reply!! T.T please hit me and keep the bishies with you for a whole week as my punishment T.T I thought I made a reply to you and wondered how come you didn't reply so I checked out your wall for any of my reply and it wasn't there @_@ I hate using iTouch for replying to wall posts... T.T I'm soooo sorry.. (umm maybe you can taper my bishie punishment for one day?? XP)

Anyway, I'll try to make the same reply as the one I typed (but got nomnomed by my iTouch craziness):

BAD BOYS!! omg... they're always the one who look better. And my friends think I'm weird when I root for the villain!! @_@

I'll try reading Junjou Romantica XD And btw! have you watched(or read the manga) Loveless? I've seen how popular it is on girls @_@ And I don't completely understand the concept about animal-like ears. I mean, there's a meaning if their animal-like ears are gone. But I don't know exactly what @_@ I WANTED to watch it but I sometimes feel like I'm suddenly becoming a YAOI girl LOL, I didn't have the courage to watch YAOI back then lol I was in High School for Inupapa's sake! ahaha

Lol, hiring hot guys to follow you around sure is a NICE idea XD I'll think about saving money in the future for that LOL Should I marry Bill Gates' son, then?

Thank you, Carrie dear!!!!! It's okay about replying, we know how crappy real life can get, so hang in there!!

LOL You totally made me go with your words!!! You're too kind, my dear!

And you're right, I totally got a kick out of hearing about your job...it's OMG-awesome-possum!!! Monotony is what makes it awesome!! Challenge is overrated. Honestly, challenging jobs are so yesterday - the whole idea now is to not do work and still, enjoy the perks. (LOL I am totally good at justifying rubbish :laugh

Yeah...I think I know exactly how you feel. Would you ever date a Japanese man? Or say, marry one? Personally, I wouldn't mind in the least, but I think I'd have to go through hell before that can happen. You know, it's really sad, and I don't even know why I am writing the story Shanghai when it deals with such themes subsequently in the story.

But oh well, enough of the sad stuff! Wall posts are bits of happy land~ Awww you're really too kind, Carrie!! *HUGGLES* Just look at your writing! It's totally amazing and I cannot wait for MORE MORE MORE 50 Love!! Especially now that you gave me a little spoiler..."Study Date"?? OMG I bet it is chock-full of shoujo manga-ish goodness which I so desperately crave~ And NOOOOO how can you say you totally suck?? NOOOO. I totally don't agree! My Carrie is wonderful and awesome!! Did you say you're almost done with chapter 11 of BHH?? OK, now I am REALLY anticipating. *inserts dreamy, floating hearts* I started a drabble series titled "The Adventures of Chibimaru and Gang", and I'd be honored if you can take a look at it if you have the time! It's so fun making Chibimaru run around wreaking havoc XD

YAY! I am glad you think the same way - one of my friends actually told me she wouldn't mind if the guy treated the rest of the world like they were lower life forms and was nice to her only. Isn't that...bad??? I mean, I would want him to have the capacity within his heart to love my family and friends as well! Especially if we are looking at marriage. It's never between two individuals; it's between two families. LOL can you imagine listening to a bragger EVERYDAY?? That's...ARRRRGH! *runs away to buy ear plugs* HAHAHA. Men who have what it takes to brag but choose not to do it are...very, very rare. And that's an understatement, because I can't find a more apt adjective with my limited word bank. XD Now, let's see...dream list: Tall, handsome, masochistic, (there used to be dark but I struck it off the list after liking Sesshoumaru) and now...not arrogant/full of himself. Hmmmmmm. I'd have better luck trying to marry myself off to a breathing dinosaur.

LOL you totally got me laughing with the Jong comments!! He is soooo gorgeous~ OMG. I cannot get enough of pretty boys like him. *checks flights to South Korea* Carrie dear, are you done with your packing? We are going there NOW. NOW. NOW. "Don't worry Sesshy, we still love you!!"

CARRIE OMG LOOK AT THIS!!!

http://media.photobucket.com/image/jonghyun/shineeismydrug/Jonghyun/1178wzk.gif?o=83

I swear, if he pouts and goes all cutie-pie on me like he did here...I will...OMG I can't even think what I'd do!! We will TOTALLY drag him into the onsen with us, and we'll feed him kimchi and eat Korean BBQ

http://media.photobucket.com/image/jonghyun/shineeismydrug/Jonghyun/tumblrl6vghzvndh1qzzb83.gif?o=117

I think we can GO PRO! with our hot guys hunting skills!! Regardless of race, age, nationality, anime hottie or breathing human..anything. As long as he's cute, we will be there *determined*

Paychecks, lalala, paychecks~ *dances around room with goofy grin* I have the worst habit of planning what I want to buy prior to receiving the paycheck XD Do you do that, m'dear?? Look but not touch, be it for magazines or clothes, is pure agony. It's TORTURE. And I don't understand why they have to feature accessories that cost at least $100. I can get like...a jewelry box full of them for less than $100. Ahhhh, the ups and downs of being a shopaholic!!

HURHUR we write awesome love letters to each other!!

Why do villains have the ability to make me swoon? @_@ It's always the bad guys who looks hotter than the protagonist~ XD

I've seen Junjou romantica on mangafox! XD I'll go try the ones you mentioned out~ LOL who knows? i might go switch on to YAOI haha

DEFINITELY!! Reverse Harem is HEAVEN XD I'd love to be in one just once in my lifetime LOL

OMG OMG OMG MY CARRIE IS BACK!!! YAY!!! XD XD XD
*Huggles* I missed you, dearie!! But I understand how RL has a tendency to overwhelm people, so don’t worry about it! RL definitely takes priority. *glomps back* And LOL those new pictures…HAHA no I am quite sure I’m nothing special in the looks department! Just another girl LOL.

CONGRATULATIONS on getting the job!! And shoes!! Shoes!! Shoes!!! OMG isn’t that like, what we totally love?? Now you can work at a place where you can admire lovely shoes everyday!

Thank you for the awesome-possum reviews on Shanghai!! You have no idea how happy I was when I woke up to those reviews in my inbox…*BIG GRIN* Thank you, thank you! I am so happy you’re enjoying ‘Shanghai’…I am having so much fun writing that story. And yes, I know…the hostility against the Japanese still exist today among the older generation. My grandma’s dislike for them was part of the reason why I USED to date Masaaki (the Japanese guy I mentioned before)…she kinda told me that she’d be very upset if I ended up with a Japanese guy. HURHUR. But I cannot blame her, because she witnessed her uncle (who is my great granduncle) being brought away by the Japanese soldiers when they occupied Singapore back during WWII, and he never came back. So…it’s a personal loss to her, and a very painful one too. So…ohwells. It’s something we can never understand, I guess.

And thank you again!! I didn’t expect Happily Ever After to be nominated for so many awards…after all, it is a VERY new story, and this is the first time I’m without Wisteria in the quarter awards. Exciting much!

Awwww dearie, you could have told me straight!! That’s not pushy in the least; I love writing fanfiction after all. I’d have signed up for it. The challenge would have been so fun to participate in, but I didn’t have too much faith in myself, and on top of that, I am busy with ongoing stories. You did the ‘Book’ prompt so much justice! I absolutely adored what you came up with, and I am sure the other readers agree with me. As for updates, LOL sweetie, I missed 50 Love and ‘Between heaven and hell’, so update soon, pretty please? They are toooo amazing to be forgotten, and I keep wondering what will happen in ‘Between heaven and hell’~

As for that guy I went out with, well let me ask you this…can you accept a man who’s really nice and sweet and gentlemanly to you, but rather nasty to people he dislikes? And has a tendency to brag about his achievements (academic, career-wise), though admittedly, has what it takes to back it up? It’s like…I don’t know, to me, I think it’s kinda nice that he is nice only to me? But then again, I can’t help but see it as a character flaw. It really depends though, I can understand if some girls like it. I don’t like it when people brag – there is a difference between telling people of your hard-earned achievements and sharing your joy and bragging. I should really stick to being friends with him…I simply cannot see anything beyond that. AND of course, being shallow as I am, I am not physically attracted to him… If he looks anything like Jong, I’d be emailing you my wedding pictures now. I found three adorable Jong!pictures:

Jong says, “Hop on, Carrie!”:

…and “Ooops, how am I going to get to my date on time??”
http://pds16.egloos.com/pds/201003/27/61/f0070761_4badb71f631d2.jpg

And I SWEAR, if I get this view across the table on a date…I’ll ENSURE that I marry him:

OKAY…I’m obviously an over-aged fangirl XD

Nyahahahahaha. *cackles* I totally want to kidnap something like that and keep him for my own use. (shall not elaborate for fear of being censored out)

Awww sweetie you’re too nice!! Don’t be harsh on yourself! I know it’s inevitable to feel guilty when you reject someone though…it’s not exactly the nicest feeling on earth. But what if the guy doesn’t take no for an answer? What’d you do?

LOL Carrie, Singapore doesn’t have much of ‘geography’…it’s a tiny place, and it’s more of an island than anything else. But yupp! It appeared in Pirates! When that line came up, everyone in the cinema kinda went like, “Haha. People actually know this place??!” LOL. But as much as I thought it was kinda cute, I have to add that it was not historically accurate because Singapore wasn’t known as Singapore at that time!! But still, very cute. I like the idea of Jack Sparrow being here. *runs off maniacally to kidnap a companion for Jong*

YAY!! I am glad you found the wallet cute!! *inserts floating hearts* I love the colors~ it was a love-at-first-sight thing for me. And LOL you can always buy expensive labels after you start working full-time! And well, a $20 shirt is not really expensive but it definitely doesn’t count as cheap either. So returning is probably the right thing to do, dearie!

Cancam is just another fashion magazine, but it’s very popular among the girls in Japan because the fashion tips are good and easy to follow, and styles are very trendy and affordable! I find magazines like Her World or Elle a little ridiculous at times…you know, I hate the feeling of reading it only to see a dress I really, really, REALLY like, and at the bottom of the dress, they write in tiny print ‘blah-blah-blah dress, from Chloe, $2500’ or something along the lines of that. That’s !!!!frustrating!!!! LOL. So I’d prefer magazines that actually teach you to buy clothes that cost from $10~$50 and how to mix-and-match them to create different looks.

YAY! Added!! *dances*

ooohh, the wavy red-haired guy? The villain, I think? I forgot his name haha They do look good together, just like Sesshoumaru and Kagome. Complete opposites XD

ahahaha I've got no prob with that~ I've only read a few Yaoi mangas but I think I still prefer normal pairings XD But I do admit two bishies going intimate sure strikes my fangirlism~ XD

And of course, I like female characters being surrounded by hot bishies~ *sigh* reversed harem is a girl's dream~ XD

No prob, dear~ XD Sometimes I go through the same thing~ XD Makes me wanna be in a coma haha

Yue IS definitely a killer Bishie XD

Yeah, Shuurei SHOULD focus on a love a little more. I mean, she IS a girl and a girl's life normally involves romance XD *unless she wants to grow old unmarried @_@* But yes, I do agree that she's a hard-working young lady. It's rare to find girls like that who's purpose-driven and determined to accomplish her goals XD

Steamy Shoujo Manga?! XD Try Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu~ Very shoujo-ish XD and cute too~ Silver (Fujita Kazuko) is good too, but it can be considered mature *though not too much of an adult stuff* you can find them on mangafox XD They have TONS of good reads~ XD

~Elle
