School, for me anyway, starts August 17th. Unbelievable right? We've had 3-ish months of summer and, to be honest, I am so glad to be going back to school. I've missed it really badly. Why did I miss it? Because I wanted to be busy, I wanted to keep myself occupied and when someone gives you no chose but to occupy yourself, I find it very encouraging (especially if I want to do it!). The best part about school is that I'm taking mostly 10th-grade classes. Biology, Geometry, Honors English, Art in World Cultures (ELECTIVE), HOPE (this is P.E.), Civics (Charisma and I could've taken this in 8th grade but my parents didn't want us too), and Digital Literacy (it's required. Trust me, I tried to get out of it....). :D I'm going to be so busy! :D
My Japanese is going well, although I would like better sources for vocabulary and grammar (those are the two things I'm currently working on). Or maybe, I don't know, a teacher? As some of you might know, it's my goal to take a college course for Japanese at my local community college while in 10th grade. That is why I must get all A's on my report card. I'm an over-achiever when it comes to school. If I don't get an A or a B, I will be absolutely shattered, but I would still tell my parents that I got a low score, because they'll either help me, remind me of my goal, tell me to get help from a teacher if I'm really struggling with a certain concept, and a whole lot more. I'm digitally editing a character that I drew! And let me tell you, *laughs*, I don't have anything fancy. No SAI, no Wacom Cintiq or Intuos, no Photoshop. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. All I've got is my handy-dandy, scanner, Paint (which is already installed on every computer), and my imagination. And truthfully, I am terrified. This is the scariest experience of my artist life. (I have several lives: Writer's Life, Artist's Life, Blogger's Life, Over-Achiever's Life, Crocheter's Life, Reader's Life, OTAKU's Life, Family Person's Life, and Outstanding-Amazing Friend's Life. I have nine lives unless someone can see more of my lives that I can't see... One might say I have nine lives. :D) Since I've never done this before (and since I have ZERO LAYERS. I didn't know what layers did before, but now I know that layers ARE A BLESSING!!! Do not take those beauties for granted!) I'm watching my sister (who is digital editing too) while she gives me tips, and I'm re-doing everything for the Umpteenth time. Though, I will survive. I read a variety of good books this summer (don't worry, I'm gonna do some Book Reviews before school starts) and now I have found my favorite Female author: Katy Towell. I love her so much, that reading the two books she published were satisfaction for a week. Her books are all the scary, friendship, terrifying-suspenseful moments I could ever want in a book! :D Her website is called Skary and, I believe, she's working on another book (oh am I excited!). I've had one for a while know but, I'm finally on Miiverse! I've put several posts from my gaming experiences on Demo's and full games, although they're all from Nintendo. I've posted some Style Savvy: Trendsetters and Fashion Forward, some Pokemon X and some other games as well. I'm trying to earn the money to buy some games (Animal Crossing: New Leaf is NEXT on my list. Unless someone convinces me otherwise), yet that's taking a whole lot longer than anticipated. So yup! This is life. I hope all of you have a great rest of summer break!

みなさん、こんにちは! Life, people. I love it. I have NEVER had such a fun/happy/crazy summer like this one. And let me tell you, I have literally done NOTHING to laugh. I just laughed at everything. Music, pictures, animes, cartoons, food, I don't know how I do it, I just love to laugh.
Schools starts August 17th for me and Charisma. I am so steamed. I wanted school to start on August 15th and then I totally forgot about this 'stagger start' thing. Ugh. When I want school people, I want school. But, now that I think about it, I'm actually quite thankful. I can get ahead in Science (the subject that doesn't love me and I don't love it) and so that way I can better understand the content that I'm being taught and then I can get an A! :3 I'm ready school (except I don't have my planner just yet....). My Japanese is going good. I'm trying to find a teacher on the site called iTalki, I have the teacher (is she a tutor?) that I want to study with but a one hour session cost 9 dollars. I'm not worried about the nine dollars part, I'm just worried that my mother won't let me use iTalki. Capital Kings, an American pop, electronic and Christian pop group, released an album called (II) last year in October and I absolutely love this album. My favorite song so far has to be Northern Sky, then it would have to be Live For The Drop. I haven't been writing lately, that's the reason I haven't updated My Writing Journey in quite some time. I'm thinking about editing Another Imagination soon, I just don't know how I'm going to print it... Why is that still a problem for me? Surprisingly, I have NOT read much of anything this summer. I've read some Pokemon manga, but that's it. Well, now I've got something to do. I need to go see what books I can get at the library... Well that's pretty much it! How's your summer going? Hey everyone! Bianca and I had the awesome opportunity to watch Nintendo's E3 live on Twitch on the 14th and the 15th. We knew that some awesome games were going to be introduced, demonstrated, and there was going to be some intense game-play, but what we saw was beyond anything I had imagined! At Nintendo E3 Day 1, these two games were shown: Pokemon Sun and Moon Pokemon Sun and Moon @ E3 2016 and the new Legend of Zelda Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild @ E3 2016 First Up: Pokemon Sun and Moon Once Reggie opened up NIntendo E3, he gave a quick introduction for Pokemon Sun and Moon, saying that it was the biggest new adventure for the 3DS. After the Treehouse members introduced the guests, which were Mr. Ohmori and Mr. Masuda from GAME FREAK Inc., they showed the Pokemon Sun and Moon trailer. -_- I can't find that trailer though. Sorry about that. Anyways, the trailer showed the new Alola Region, consisting of 4 different islands, one being man-made, the cute new Starter Pokemon: Rowlet, Litten and Popplio, the awesome Legendary Pokemon: Solgaleo and Lunala, the options of choosing your hero or heroine (which now has 4 different looks instead of the 3), and some of the characters that you'll be encountering (like the Professor, his assistant, and your new friend in Alola). The trailer was truly outstanding, but then they jumped into gameplay. I got to say, this has got to be my first time really watching Pokemon gameplay (I watched a bit of Pokemon X and Y, but really just the beginning) and it was great! It was also Nintendo Treehouse's first time for live gameplay of Pokemon! It was super great to be a part of that, even if Bianca and i were at home watching on the couch. :P The Pokemon game-play had so many pluses going for it that portraying it all will be kind of difficult. So let's just start with the first one on my list (because I took notes so you all can hopefully experience the awesomeness):
Pokemon Sun and Moon comes out on November 18th, 2016. Next is the Highly Anticipated: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful that title is? All of the Legend of Zelda titles are amazing, but this one has to be the best of them all. It says so much is so few words and it already gives the player an image of what they might encounter. But, instead of trying to portray the beauty into words, why not show you all the magic?
The Legend of Zelda games are held dear to many gamer's hearts, and I'm quite sure that this game is going to join that fast growing list. Treehouse members, who was joined by the amazing Mr. Aonuma and Mr. Miyamoto, said that this game was to break the barriers between all past Zelda games. This got me super excited because in the trailer the super long bridge that was shown was seen and used in Twilight Princess. Then my mind got theorizing about how all the games could be connected and this timeline was created: (Spoilers Ahead!) Ocarina of Time - because it's the beginning, Marjora's Mask - Link is searching for Navi because she left him at the end of OoT, Hyrule Warriors - Link's admittance to the Hyrule Knights, Twilight Princess - reason being the Hero's Shade is said to be Link from OoT, then Skyward Swork - The floating islands were also in Twilight Princess, also it's a great progression with technology, lastly this game. It all sort of ties in. You know, with creativity. But anyways, moving back to the report. The rest of Day 1 for Nintendo's E3 was spent viewing gameplay of the long awaited Legend of Zelda game. Because of that, I have a lot of points to go over on my list. So instead of completely boring you, I'm going to shorten them quite a bit:
I could keep on going and probably spoil some stuff, but I don't want to do that. I want it to be an adventure for everyone out there who's going to play it. :3 Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild comes out in 2017. There's more game excitement coming up in a few days. Because Day 2 of Nintendo's E3 covered a lot more games, I'm probably going to put Day 2 into quite a few parts. So be on the look out for those! The other posts will be in the "Game Reviews," just to give you all a heads up! Also! I want to know all of your opinions on what Bianca and I should call you. Like Parker Games' followers are called Jeffery's, so we wanted to do something like that. Here it is: Are you looking forward to any of these games? Tell us in the comments! みなさん、こんにちは! (Romaji: minasan, konnichiwa!) -- (English: Hello, everyone!)
Every time summer rolls around I feel like doing absolutely nothing. Which is bad because I want to learn Japanese, I have a blog to keep updated (which reminds me, I recently watched X-Men: Apocalypse several days ago and did a movie review about), and I work for a lady from my church. Ugh, it's terrible. I got my school report card! I have all A's and one B (thankfully, this B is in Science, not math). Like I've been telling you all, if I get most to all A's in 9th grade, I will be able to take a college course of Japanese in 10th grade. Eeeh~! I'm so excited. My Japanese is going very well. I'm proud of my progress and I am planning on taking the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N5 next year (2017), but I have to run it through my parents first. Although, it's going to be tough because the JLPT only does it once a year (not twice like in Japan and some other countries) and it's ONLY on the first Sunday of December. That's going to be a big problem for my family. (Kemushi-chan/Loretta did a video about the JLPT) I haven't done any writing at all lately. I'm thinking about doing some this week or some time next week. I just want to write. I want to edit Another Imagination, but it's like 48 pages and no one is willing to print it for me. I've got to find some way to print up those pages, that way I can print and edit that fantastic book. Honestly, I don't remember much about the book, so it's going to be a lot of fun re-reading a book I wrote. :3 Oh! Me and my family decided to start watching Once Upon A Time. Let me tell you. This show is greatly terrible. The only reason I say terrible is because this show is way messed up. But I love it none the less. One of us should have a show review for it soon. Well, that's it for today, thanks for reading! Hey everyone, I'm back! I've gotten back into the groove of writing ( I think...) and now I'm back to writing blog post again.
Life is going really great. I'm finished with math, literature/G.U.M. (G.U.M. is grammar, usage, and mechanics), and I'm finished with science! I need some help with Geography (my mother's going to help me with that) and then I'm finished! It feels good to be done. Also, Charisma is going to take a break from activities for a while, meaning she won't be blogging (or drawing) until she's finished with school. Me and my sisters watch this youtuber called Matthias and he is amazing. I watch him daily because he makes me laugh (a lot) and I also LOVE watching his daily vlogs that he does with his wife (who happens to be the outstanding Amanda Faye, I love her channel too!). My Japanese is going really well, although I had to pause because my parents thought I was going to too many Japanese sites (I kept getting done with school early. I'm sorry that they didn't like my good grades). My parents are really glad that I have good scores, they just wanted me to be finished with school first. And honestly, it didn't bother me that much. I could get done with school quite early and that's what I planned to do with Charisma (AND BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE... WE'RE ALMOST DONE). I've got a question, does anyone know what a sunshine package is? Some call it a Sunshine Care Package, but usually it's to brighten someones day. I want to send a Sunshine Package to Matthias and Amanda Faye. :D I'm excited. Like really excited. So, who would you send a Sunshine Package to and what would you put inside the package? Alright, thanks everyone! I'm going to be posting soon in Writing Journey, just to let you know! :3 You read right. We're going to audition to be a part of High School Musical 4. And, boy, am I excited. And nervous. And really happy. Okay, I'm have a lot of feelings towards this, but hey, I'm gonna give it my best go and I'm going to love EVERY MINUTE. And if you didn't know that they're doing auditions, you should go do it (btw, you need to be around 14 - 17, have the Disney Applause app, find a song that fits your vocal chords--only do a verse and the chorus--, and practice the script. More info about auditioning here). I've always wanted to be a part of Disney, it would amazing if Charisma and I were part of the cast. :3 School's going really good. I've got a A's in everything but science (I've got a low B which I need to start getting a high B.... because bad things are going to happen if I don't). I'm trying to get done with school around May 18th, which, if I do, would be GREAT. The only thing I'm having trouble with is my Geography assignment. I have to plan a dream vacation. Sounds easy, right? Well, I still think it's kind-of easy, but I've been hitting some bumps. I've got to plan this vacation down to the slightest detail and that's going to be really hard (mean finding pictures of certain places, I have to record the weather, the average precipitation, etc.). And my maximum budget is 10,000 dollars and the minimum I have to spend is 8,000 (keep in mind I can't go over budget, 5% can be spent for gifts/souvenirs and 10% can be used for food, while the rest must be used for hotel, airline tickets, car rental, etc.). You get the idea. I'm still having my major writings block (wanting to write something, but avoids writing at all times, you can read my small post at My Writing Journey). Although, early this week I was able to write a small bit for a new story. That made me really happy. I'm actually really surprised that I wanted to write this blog post, because I've been wanting to do it for a long time now. Learning Japanese Yup! I'm still at it. I've master hiragana, I'm working on katakana (although I need some more index cards... -_-) and I'm working on kanji (slowly, but I'm getting there).
The site's that I'm using (apart from the first Learning Japanese):
I was bored one day (this was a while ago) and ended up looking around Tokyo Otaku Mode News (which is such a super awesome place; go check it out!). As I was scrolling down and looking through all of their posts, something caught my eye. Japanese Titles of English Movies Aren't Always What They Seem to BeMe, being quite curious, clicked on it and watched the video. I was not prepared for any of it. None of it. It truly was unexpected. Don't believe me? Here's the video and go see for yourself! :) There are no bad words. Just if you're wondering.
Wasn't that completely unexpected, yet hilarious all at the same time? This made me laugh so hard when I watched it! I didn't know that people could be that unique re-naming movies. Seriously. No idea. Well, hopefully this little post made you either laugh of smile! Tell us in the comments what you're favorite Japanese title was! :P Yup! This is the momentous day that Bianca and I wanted to come super slowly. We really liked being 13 and now we're 14, so we have to start learning how to be 14, then we'll turn 15 right as we got used to being 14. Isn't that with all ages? Nope. Bianca and I were prepared for 13. We got to do so much more! Like watch PG-13 movies, and get more responsibility. You know, normal stuff. With 14, though, we can start going to dances, we get even more responsibility and some other stuff that I can't quite think of right now. And it's kind of scary. But, Bianca and I are prepared to face this new challenge of the ages with as much strength, will power, and might that we can possible conjure up. :) Now, some happy things about being 14! :D |

I saw this blonde boy and was like, "I searched for Chat Noir, not this boy. Who is he and why is he blocking my search?" (This was obviously in the image section of Google.) (Little did I know that blonde boy was Chat Noir, just outside of his superhero outfit...)
So I found this clip of the show where Chat Noir was looking for Ladybug and he had this super pressing matter he wanted to tell her. He had so much snazz and kindness it was kind of overwhelming for an introduction to the show. So I continued watching the clip. I'm not going to tell you what he was going to tell her, you all can just watch it yourselves (the episode was called "Dark Cupid"), but it was fabulous!
....
....
NAH! I'm gonna spoil it so you all can feel what Bianca and I felt because IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! CHAT NOIR WAS GOING TO TELL LADYBUG THAT HE LOVED HER, THEN HE GOT SHOT BY ONE OF THOSE DARK CUPID ARROWS TO MAKE HIM DISLIKE LOVE. AND BECAUSE HE HAD A BURNING PASSION OF LOVE FOR LADYBUG, THOSE FEELINGS GOT TURNED INTO A BURNING PASSION OF HATE.
O.O You can see why we freaked out and needed to find more on this show that suddenly just ripped our hearts our and stole them.
W-we still haven't gotten them back. Hehe...
And they celebrated their 1st Anniversary! It was on September 1st, so mark all you're calendars for next year (technically this year)! :3
Do you all know what Miraculous Ladybug is yet? OH! I forgot this one part that I wanted to tell you all about!
The Troubling Love Square
So this love square is just one of the reasons why us Miraculer's (that's what the people of the fandom call themselves and I love it!) are so crazy about the show.
There are 4 parts to the love square: Ladrien, Adrienette, Lady Noir, and Marichat. And to break it down even further so you all don't get confused.. (because I get confused. On a daily basis, just because Marichat keeps escaping my head!)
*As time passes...* LOL, I'm trying to find a picture of the Love Square that isn't by some artist because I don't want to not credit them...
WELP! Can't find anything, so I guess I'll just explain it... Hopefully it'll make sense, but pictures would be very helpful.
Ladrien (This is going to be in random order...) To start off, there is Ladrien. Which is the ship name of Ladybug and Adrien. This is a one of the best ships. Not only is it a cute name, but they both love each other! Ladybug (who is Marinette) has this super huge crush on Adrien and Adrien has this super huge crush on Ladybug. So it makes their meetings awkward (really awkward), yet really cute. MariChat Then there is the ship MariChat! This ship involves Marinette and Chat Noir. Now none of you might believe it, but Chat Noir is Adrien. That shy guy turns into this sassy hero. O.O It still boggles my mind. But anyways, to me, this is more of a "cute pairing" then an actual ship. It's the least likely (to me) to happen, so this ship kind of turns me away. | Adrienette Next there is Adrienette. This is the ship name of Adrien and Marinette. Now, Marinette has never told Adrien she likes him, so she get super awkward when she's around him. Seriously. You see all that bolding and underlining I did to that word. That's not at all an exaggeration. This is a cute pairing because this is the ship that would happen outside of their superhero lives, therefore making it one of the most popular. (And Adrien likes her as a friend, don't worry... Just a super awkward, but cute friend.) Lady Noir Finally there is Lady Noir. This is the ship that I first started out with, it involving Ladybug and Chat Noir. I still really do like this ship, but.. But there LADRIEN!!! If you watch the show, then those cute awkward moments that Ladrien has/have are soooo cute! :3 (Oh and for those of you wondering, Chat Noir is the french version. I just like it more than Cat Noir.) |
Miraculous Ladybug Plot Line
That Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous' (the thing that allows them to change into a superhero and grants them all those awesome abilities).
Though the person doesn't do that because they see their personal needs come first before Hawkmoth's. So he doesn't get his wanted Miraculous' from the heroes. His intentions are still a mystery to everyone, but a lot of it is unmasked (heh, get it?) in the season finale, which was the origin stories of Miraculous Ladybug and how Adrien and Marinette came to be with those miraculous (heh, I'm all over the place with this stuff...) powers.
And because Thomas, one of the show's creators (or the show's creator, I don't know), didn't want people to come into an episode and not know what was going on, ALL of the episodes are in a random order. So the Miraculous fandom/fan base had done it's best to unravel how the episodes are organized using hints and how Marinette and Adrien act towards each other to create a timeline. (Because believe or not, Marinette can actually talk to Adrien in a few episodes...)
Anyways, this post is getting a bit long and I don't want to ruin anymore than I already have. Good for all of you who read through that
random
most inconsistent
post I think I've ever done! I'm sorry you all had to suffer through that. :P
And to just let you all know, the blog is still slightly under construction. We need to finish putting up the pictures (which isn't as easy as you might think). With school back in session, we might update less on the blog (not like we updated on a regular basis anyways), though I have a few blog posts that I can finish up that doesn't take as long.
Well, have you seen this show? If so, what's your favorite part about the show? If not, are you interested in the show? Tell us in the comments!
P.S. This blog post was done over a LOOOOT of months, which is one of the reasons for its inconsistency. So sorry 'bout that. Hopefully you can make it through this crazy mess of a blog. I'll try to update once a week to the blog in ALL sections, but I'm going to definitely try to do ONE post somewhere once a week.
Mytho + Rue = Rytho (Princess Tutu)
They are literally one of the cutest couples. The prince, Mytho, is cursed with a shattered heart and the young girl, Rue, is in love with the prince, yet is daughter to his enemy, the Raven King. But this match... Let's just say they had a very, very tough relationship (from the VERY beginning).
Eugene Fitzherbert + Rapunzel = They Have No Shipped Name (Tangled)
Luminous + Lania = Luna (MapleStory)
Phantom + Aria = Phania (MapleStory)
Age + Patema = Agema (Patema Inverse)
Marinette + Adrien = Marien or Adrienette
Cat Noir + Ladybug = Catbug or LadyNoir
Adrien + Ladybug = ???
(Miraculous Ladybug)
Although this may be one of my favorite OTPs ever, they suck at love. Adrien (who is Cat Noir) loves Ladybug (AND ONLY LADYBUG) but he doesn't know that Ladybug is Marinette in real life and Marinette loves Adrien but SHE doesn't know that Adrien is Cat Noir when they're fighting together. And here's the weird thing, they look EXACTLY the same when they have their transformations on and when they don't!
Ugh, sometimes watching love is unbearable.
The show is absolutely magnificent though. :D
Sakura + Sharon = KAWAII (Cardcaptor Sakura)
Artemis + Kid Flash/Wally West = ??? (Young Justice)
Nelly + Mark = ??? (Inazuma Eleven)
Then, Nelly started to see what everyone else saw in Mark (and a tinsy bit more), the hard working, dedicated boy that NEVER EVER let anything stop him (even soccer balls to the face). Then, from there, they flewwwwwwwww. :D
Katara + Aang = Kaan (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
*drops mic and leaves*
