童話(Fairy Tale)



Hey all, for those of you who have lost a loved one or is deeply in love with someone, this MV is for you. Sung by 光良 (Michael Wong), who is from Malaysia, about a man's love for his girlfriend. Its important to note that the girl suffers from Leukemia, as it plays an important part. The MV is VERY sad, however, the strong emotions that it evokes will endear itself to you. The message is quite clear: cherish every moment with those you love and tell them that you love them whenever you can, because you may never, ever get that chance again. Quite frankly, its one of the best Taiwanese song I have ever heard, the MV just makes it that much better.

Of course, if you just want to enjoy a damn good soft and melodic song about love, this is THE song. For those of you who are not familiar with Mandarin songs, here is an excellent example of the style that the majority of songs are like, mostly about love.

Here are the lyrics to those who are interested:
王光良-童話
Michael Wong-Fairy Tale

忘了有多久 
wang le you duo jiu
再沒聽到你
zai mei ting dao ni
對我說你最愛的故事
dui wo shuo ni zui ai de gu shi
我想了很久 
wo xiang le hen jiu
我開始慌了
wo kai shi huang le
是不是我又做錯了甚麼
shi bu shi wo you zuo cuo le shen me
你哭著對我說 
ni ku zhe dui wo shuo
童話裡都是騙人的
tong hua li du shi pian ren de
我不可能是你的王子
wo bu ke neng shi ni de wang zi
也許你不會懂 
ye xu ni bu hui dong
從你說愛我以後
chong ni shuo ai wo yi hou
我的天空星星都亮了
wo de tian kong xing xing dou liang le
我願〔要〕〔會〕變成童話裡
wo yuan (yao) (hui) bian cheng tong hua li
你愛的那個天使 張開雙手 
ni ai de na ge tian shi zhang kai shuang shou
變成翅膀守護你
bian cheng chi bang shou hu ni
你要相信 
ni yao xiang xin
相信我們會像童話故事裡
xiang xin wo men hui xiang tong hua gu shi li
幸福和快樂是結局
xin fu he kuai le shi jie ju
一起寫我們的結局
yi qi xie wo men de jie ju
—------------------------------
I've forgotten how long it's been
Since I last heard you
Tell me your favourite fairytale
I've thought for a very long time
I'm starting to get worried
Have I done something wrong again?

You told me with tears in your eyes
That fairytales are all lies
There's no way I can be your prince charming
Perhaps you don't understand
Since you said you loved me
The stars in my sky started to twinkle

I'm willing to be
The angel you love in the fairytale
I'll open my arms wide
And turn them into wings to protect you
You must believe
Believe that we will be like the fairytale
With happy ever after as the ending

Together we'll write our own ending

K-ON!



So, I'm gonna be honest. I haven't been keeping up with watching anime lately, at least not as much as I would like. However, having gone around the net everyday and going to various forums and sites, I noticed this new series (ep 2 just aired) based on a manga that has received raves and hype from just about every source. Now, usually, I am skeptical about what the word around the net says, however, after watching it, I have to say, ITS DAMN GOOD!!!

The 4 main girls are cute and each has a uniqueness to her and will immediately endear themselves to you. The animation is top notch, the story ineresting, and the music is fun as well. I highly recommend this if your looking for an enjoyabe and light-hearted series, or just an excellent series, period.

I can just see the endless amounts of merchandise, figures, and DVD's that this series will generate, and I can say right now that I will be spending a good amount of my future income on such things.

The above video is the most excellent ED to K-ON! sung by Yoko Hikasa and her friends. Pause my blog music and watch/listen to "Don't Say Lazy"!

Believe the hype, people. This is a fantastic series.

Been a while...

So, its been a couple months since my last update, not much to say except schoolwork and lazyness are running my life right now. Im currently on my spring break and catching up on some (actually, a lot) of backlogged anime. 2 more months until the 4 year journey that is my high school career comes to an end. Man, has it really been
4 years?

Well, thats it for now, i guess. However, I will definitely be on a posting rampage about my hobbies, anime, music, the otaku subculture, figure/gunpla stuff, and lots and lots of pics of the aforementioned items soon and also a photodiary of the summer i'll spend in my hometown (er, country), Taiwan...so look forward to that! It will be THE BEST summer of my life (so far).
