I’ve been slacking off quite a lot from posting about otome games lately, and I took this time to think of what my otome game posting plans really are. I’ve become lazy to continue on with the Otome Games Digest, because it’s a drag thinking of what to write about the other games I’m not wholeheartedly interested in. Instead of posting otome games news snippets in digest form, I just decided to dedicate a separate post for otome games which peak my interest enough to merit such an attention. This is also a much better ‘hook’ than the Otome Games Digest, given that the title itself hints on what game I’ll be talking about. They might be noise posts for some readers who subscribe to the blog, but whatever, so long as I’m having fun sharing about them, then that’s all that matters

…and probably the lengthiest too. So yeah, just beware >.>’’

I finally finished the Renai Blogger game last last Sunday and I really enjoyed it to bits~! Not just because I was so moe in the game, mind you. A lot of things happened these past two weeks and so it took me this long before finishing the review. Sorry for the people who have been anticipating this post for so long

I am back from my trip, and it’s been no less than fun fun fun I had such a great time staying at the hamster’s den, not simply because she and her entire family were such kind hosts (smothered us–me and my officemate/ travel buddy, the hamster’s buddy as well–with love, foodies especially <3), but because we got to spend time together with the hamster chef, her sister, and the rest of the hamster’s buddies (including our duck chef BeLe :P)–quality bonding time playing Wii until the wee hours of the morning~

Hanging out someplace in Davao City in the morning, playing Wii at home at night. That’s basically our “leisure lifestyle” throughout the trip, with the scrumptious snacks and meals in between *yum yum*

I’ve been noticing this trend of a daily, weekly, or monthly digest kind of posts in the blogosphere lately, catering to different niches — anime and manga thoughts, impressions and news round-ups, blogosphere buzz news, and whatnot. Omni also joins in the news bandwagon with his Daily Doses recently. If there’s one thing I noticed among these posts (even with the current anime, manga and games news resources we have), it’s that NONE of them cater for otome gamers. Hinano and Taiyaki posts about otome games from time to time, but they’re not exactly otome game [news] resource sites either. There are a few English sites dedicated to otome games on the web, like the BL Games HQ, My NeoRomance, among others, but they aren’t really ‘connected’ with the blogosphere atm. If only I had more time to play these games, that probably would’ve been the ultimate focus of my blogging.

Rumors of my identity have been greatly exagerrated, such as being this Reisen bunny of the game Touhou

The comments I’ve read in my Shugo Chara DS game post reminded me of the time I was in the same boat as them. When I was a Nihongo n00b, yet filled with the desire to play Japanese games, and become a weeaboo On my part, it became a prerequisite that I memorize the Japanese alphabet first, at least, before anything else. Though my original intent in memorizing hiragana and katakana way back elementary grade 5 was no other than to impress my crush and to follow anime songs LOL.

So I ordered a bunch or random stuff from Play-asia last February coz I found their Year-of-the-Rat Sale too hard to resist orz. That, in turn, allowed me to participate in their Year-of-the-Rat raffle draw, though I already forgot I was even part of that. Until, I got this news from Play-asia, that I won a $30 coupon! w00t!

I’ve thought long and hard about this, before finally deciding on buying myself Talkman^TM for PSP. It’s a neat little voice-activated translation software, somewhat like an interactive traveler’s phrasebook, which you can use both as reference and practice tool for various languages, primarily Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. Another Talkman version, the Talkman Euro, has also been released, supporting English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, and Japanese (or Chinese, in the Chinese Talkman Euro version). I ordered the former one, which comes bundled with the USB microphone for the PSP, so I can readily use it for brushing up on my sucky Japanese and Chinese communication skills.
