Pain All Over

   Last week has really been some feverish week for me. That's a fact to be sure as both of my tonsils decided to act up together at a time and made me endure uncomfortable fevers for 3 to 4 days. The mouth feels dry and food seems bland to the taste(Not that there is any choice for my aching throat other than rice porridge). The scalp is painful from the heat and not mentioning the 4 am "suddenly you're awake 'cos the pain's unbearable" routine. Not to mention that this is assignment week. Now that I'm better, even the smallest pleasure of eating plain rice with a simple soup is better that being sick. Now...excuse me as I carry on my ...err... missed pleasures.......;-p

Popping Over Buble

   ***Switches on television*** The new sensation over the world. Let Booblay.....sooth you with his enchanting songs. Remember its Buble with a boooooblay! Well thats roughly the scene I encountered when I first heard of Michael Buble. In case you havent noticed him, Buble(pronounced Boo-blayy) is one of the new and coolest classic pop atist to come out from the Canadian scene. Gracefully swinging to his pick of songs such as Come Fly With Me and Kissing A Fool has been enchanting. Highly recommended to easy listening fans. Hop to his official site to sample some of his songs in streaming format.

Unexpected Anpanman



   Seeing the weird fellow in the picture above might give you the impression that I'm turning into a kiddie anime freak. (HECK NO!). Just to ease your curiosity, the pastry moon look-a-like guy is Anpanman. WHO?? Well, as I have free time at home every now and then in a week because of my rather loose lecture schedule, I got the opportunity to watch this guy in his own cute anime series. Anpanman is a superhero with an "Anpan" head. Anpan is actually a type of japanese pastry with a sweet bean paste filling. Anpanman is born after Uncle Jam's Anpan bread was mixed with a fallen golden star. Anpanman tries to make the world a better place by preventing hunger by self sacrifice. In other words, he lets others eat him! Anpanman however can rejuvenate by asking Uncle Jam to re bake a new face for him.

   I'm quite attracted to the fact that Anpanman has spun a quite a decade of legacy in the hearts of the Japanese people. Originally created by Yanase Takashi sensei in 1973, Anpanman is so famous that its anime series still ran until today since its launching in 1988. There is even an Anpanman Museum to complement its success.

Temptations

   **Drools** I begin this post imagining my gawking and drooling face earlier in the CD shop I frequent. A WHOLE PLETHORA OF NEW ANIME OST's! ALL WITH REDUCED PRICES!! I think the caps should tell my eagerness. Titles ranging from Hanaukyo Maids, Sakura Wars, Mahoromatic, Hoshin Engi, Patlabor and many more. Unfortunately this is that time of the month when I am so BROKE. Tsk Tsk!! Even now my heart is racing with the fact that all that have to wait. **Sighs** Poor me and my need for CD's......
