Sorry for not posting as much as I used to. The reason is that I've been busy with school and homework and after school activities so I didn't have enough time to write posts. It's finally the holidays so I can finally post something. And since the Mad Father review got such a good response, why not do a review of my first and favourite RPG game, Ib, or Eve, as some people call it.
Ib is a game about a girl who goes to an art gallery with her parents but somehow end up in another world. There, she meets Garry, a man from the gallery, and Mary, a blonde girl. You play as Ib and you try to get back to your world.
Okay. Since this is a review, there are going to be spoilers so don't put me down by being the first person to ever comment but it's you complaining that I spoilt the game for you. Also, this is also with my review of the latest update, Ib 1.04. I'll put a download link at the end if you're interested.
Anyway, I played Ib 1 year ago but I replayed it recently because of the newest update. There are two new endings which involve you playing as Mary, which is something you couldn't do in the previous version. My favourite character was always Garry and Ib was okay but you couldn't really HATE Mary since she WAS just a little girl that wanted to get out of her world. If you saw my Comic Fiesta 2012 review, you would know that I spent a LOT of money on Garry merchandise. I still have ALL of them, by the way. OKAY, to the review!
Overall, I really liked the story and the game play. The characters were very interesting and they did a GREAT job in making the other world very spooky. The main reason I prefer Ib over Witch's House, Mad Father, the crooked man, Misao, Yume Nikki and other RPG games(I've tried to play To The Moon but the trial ended before I could get far enough to do a full review or first impression) is that Ib isn't a horror game that is filled with jumpscares or horror moments(not saying that the other games are but you have to admit. Witch's House had a story line but was mainly just jumpscares.) but was a game with a story that just had a great creepy feel and nice endings. This is the only RPG game with a girl as the main character that had a true ending that WASN'T a bad ending.
I liked all the paintings in the art gallery. My favourite paintings/sculptures were "Fleeting Thoughts on a Moonlit Night", "Truant Seconds Hand", "Queen of High Society", "Tryst After Death" and "Drinking in the Night". Most of the paintings I mentioned as my favourite art pieces are from the latest update but the paintings from the previous version are also very nice. My favourite ending is definitely "Promise of Reunion" but I don't like how the update didn't effect the ending at ALL. There's this whole new area, the dungeon, where you risk Garry being stuck in the other world forever, AGAIN, and the flow is off since the ending, Promise of Reunion is based of the handkerchief that Ib gives Garry after killing Mary. The flow would have been good if it ended right after that BUT there's now a whole new area and it doesn't affect the ending at ALL. I know I should be happy that they actually took their time to do a new area and 2 new endings but it just feels a bit, just a BIT, lazy. Just a little edit to the old endings and this game would be my favourite game to replay over and over for months, maybe even years!
Okay, you're here for a review and not a rant. Out of all the endings, I prefer "Promise of Reunion" because it's one of the happy endings. Second would have to be either "Welcome to the World of Guertena" or "Together Forever." Welcome to The World of Guertena is one of the two new endings where Garry goes insane(from the doll room), Ib goes into depression and just wants to stay in the other world because she doesn't want to leave Garry behind, and Mary stays behind because she doesn't want to leave her best, first and only friend Ib behind. So, all the paintings gather in the doll room and they all live there forever, Happily Ever After(But Garry is insane/dead and Ib is dead.) The other new ending is called "The Demise of a Painting" which is where Mary leaves on her own but instead of getting to the real world, she is in a world that looks like the real world but is still part of Guertena's world as "he" scolds her for leaving by making the place pitch black, making her all alone and unable to return home. Just before the whole place goes black, she calls for help, begs for forgiveness, calls for Ib, then Garry, then finally, her father, Guertena.After that is just some endings where Ib is all alone cause she never returned to her world, or Garry AND Mary die but Ib escapes but sees a picture of a man sleeping(Garry) in the gallery.
The background music and OSTs are also very nice and there are a lot of extremely talented people that have actually given lyrics to some of the character's theme songs. For example, Mary's theme song has it's own lyric-ed version called Puppet while Garry's theme song is Fighting for You.
In a nutshell, Ib is a VERY good game. I might be using Italics for more of my posts cause it makes it look fancy~ : 9 I might edit this soon since it's very late and I just want to get this up before today ends. I give Ib a ranking of 9.8/10~ I have to go now. Gazel is talking to her boyfriend and I'm trying to get information about Miku-chan's wedding out of him. Bye~

Busy day at some convention
So, today was the second(and last) day of some convention(Animax Comicon 2013...I think it was called that.) at Sunway Pyramid. It's suppose to be going on right now be I went there early and left early too. It's suppose to have started at 10am and end at 10 pm but...Seriously, whoever that can stay there for the whole 12 hours deserves respect cause, to me, there was absolutely nothing to do. There were somewhat okay cosplayers.....a LOT of cosplayers but only a few caught my eye but they weren't good enough for me to waste my time and get out my camera-phone. The main things you COULD do there were:
1. Watch the cosplay competition's semi-finals and finals.(We only watched the semi-finals cause it was the only way to get in WITHOUT lining up for an hour plus)
2. Play some of the booth games. (I didn't play any of them cause I was an idiot and left so we had to line up to get in again, BUT we didn't cause the line was so long and by the time we could get in again, Liver(who was with me) would have had to go. They were basically the typical throw the ring and shoot the cup games so....nah.)
3. There was one booth that would let you try a kimono and you could take pictures in front of this nicely done backdrop.(They did your make-up and all that too so I actually thought it could have been interesting but it wasn't worth the looooong line.)
4. Take pictures of the cosplayers! (=__= No thank you.)
So.....as you can tell, we didn't really have a GREAT time. So, in the end, Liver and I went to Asia Avenue to but some ice-cream(a great treat due to the HEAT we felt at the convention) and then went to find my parents which were at Daiso(a good store that has a heap load of things and everything only costs RM5!). Liver and I had a great time there as we looked through a bunch of stationary and tried to read some of the japanese things on the labels....well, at least I was trying to. Most of the time, Liver just walked up and down the aisles, trying to find interesting things. In the end, she bought a pretty box, a note-book, and I think a file. I bought a notebook as well.
I almost forgot. Liver dressed up for the convention(kinda). I think I wrote this before but Liver has a unique sense of style and she let it go today. She was wearing normal clothes....underneath a really steam-punk looking leather jacket. Truthfully, it was an ordinary leather jacket but when she wore it, and with the jacket's nice brown colour, it really reminded me of those jackets you see in those steam-punk themed anime/manga. All she needed were goggles and maybe something like a steam-punk style pocket watch and BAM! She would have been cosplaying, to me. She also had a leather bag that I carried around a lot. There were times where I wished she told me that she was going to wear something like that. Then, maybe I could have wore something similar then we could have went looking like a duo of steam-punk girls. That would have been fun.
Anyway, my parents are going out cause my brother needs to buy new sports shoes for tomorrow. I have to send them of so...bye~

Charlie Askew: Vote please?
So, I've been sick for awhile now but I only started to skip school yesterday. I also skipped school today,which is BM. Crap. Because of that, I had to go to the clinic to get an MC. Just going to apologize in advance, but if you notice any spelling errors, blame my computer cause it is lagging VERY badly and I NEVER use this computer. The only reason I AM using it is because it's the only computer in this house that my brother DOESN'T want and I didn't feel like typing on the iPad with its annoying spell check.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing this post....that was WAAAAY too formal sounding. Let me try again.
E-hem.
ed watching it again when we saw ONE person's audition. his name i
AMERICAN IDOL. Almost everyone has heard about it before and I used to watch it ALL the time. Then, my mom and dad lost interest and I got hooked on anime. HOWEVER, we all started again when we saw ONE person audition. That person IS......(I'm sure you read the title o it's not really a shocker): ChArLiE aSkEw!!!
So...yeah. We started watching American Idol and I stopped when the top 10 was revealed BUT my parents told me that he MIGHT go on the roadtrip with the top 10 and I watched his performance. I hope you all vote for him(that is IF you are in America). Even if you don't watch American Idol or don't care, please vote for him for me. I would have spent all my credit to vote for him but I can't because I'm not in America and am not an American citizen. So....yeah. PLEASE vote for him. Even my friend, Liver approved of his singing and I believe that is an accomplishment on his own. His personality is so cute but he is also very masculine in the right ways. He is also very awkward which is why I hope he doesn't see this, but in a way, I also do. Anyway, if he DOES see this, I'm sorry for creeping you out but I really hope you get somewhere in the singing industry cause you have many fans. If you don't believe me, go and look at your videos on youtube and look at the comments. The last time I checked, they were all about rooting for you to make it to finals and win.
And with that, I have to go. I'm getting a bit woozy from my medicine and I think I'm going to scream cause of the computer lag. Bye~

Kuroko no Basuke and Oz review
As promised, here is the review for the famous basketball anime, Kuroko no Basuke. I know I was supposed to have done it in the previous post but I had just finished the game that day so I absolutely HAD to do that review first cause the ending was soo.......sorry for the language but it was so f@#ked up!Anyway, back to the anime. NOTE: I haven't read the manga and have only watched the anime. There are also most likely going to be spoilers if you haven't finished reading/watching the manga/anime.
Kuroko no Basuke is mainly focused on two boys which are Kuroko and Kagami. Kuroko was the sixth, "phantom" member of a basketball group called the Generation of Miracles. Kagami, which is great at basketball cause of his build and muscles and all that finds out about this group and targets to beat them. The two of them go to the same school and signed up for the basketball team. Thing which made me like this anime a LOT is the characters cause they are all so....unique! The reason Kuroko was known as the phantom member was cause he has very very VERY little presence. My favourite character so far are these two characters eventhough they had almost no screen time. These guys are Atsushi, the purple-haired giant of a guy) and Arashi? I think that's his name. The other guy with red hair. Anyway, back to describing the characters. There really is a wide variety. There is Kuroko the kudere(no emotion), Kise the deredere(happy-go-lucky), Ma....ma-something,the green-haired guy, which is a tsundere, Aomine the kamidere(the person who thinks he/she is undefeatable and is perfect), Atsushi the dandere(the "I don't give a shit" person) and lastly, Arashi the yandere(the type that seems normal but turns out to be a scary and deady maniac).
Character wise, it was pretty good. Even the non-main characters were interesting and had their own traits. The story-line was also quite good. There were times where I thought it was cliche and times were I thought it was bringing up random points about the characters, but after an episode or a few, that trait is re-mentioned or used and makes the character a lot more interesting. The idea of the story is also quite good so...good job to the original artist for making a good manga.
Truthfully, I really don't like sports manga or anime but I gave this a shot cause I really liked the fan-art it was getting(I saw a lot of Atsushi fan-art) so ..yeah. And since I know a bit about basketball, the anime didn't leave me clueless but there were times where I just wondered, wtf are they talking about.
ANYWAY, in a nutshell, I think Kuroko no Basuke was a good, almost great, anime/manga and I definitely recommend it to all of you. I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10 and I'll be looking forward to see what you guys have to say.
Have to go no-
Yeah, I'm joking. Not done yet. I just got back home to finish this post but I really wanted to talk about a new movie that just came out recently. It's called Oz and it's supposed to be a prequel to the Wizard of Oz....I think...yeah.
It's about a performer names Oscar but calls himself Oz. He left the circus he worked at to go to their next spot but a tornado pulls him in and drags him to the land of Oz. There, he meets a pretty lady, a witch, called Theodora, and she is easily described with her pretty face, red clothes and lovely red sunhat. SPOLER WARNING from here on. She and Oz get chased by flyng baboons and they hide. Oz, claiming to be the wizard, lures them away by letting go of a dove that he hid for his magic tricks at the circus. After they escape, they walk down the yellow brick road, heading for Emerald city. They stop during the night and Theodora takesoff her jacket and her hat. She also unites her hair to show that she was very pretty. Oz starts flirting with her and she mentions that no one ever tries to flirt with her. He also asks her to dance and they do so.Theodora obviously falls in love with Oz.
Continuing on their journey, they find a flying monkey trapped in vines and roots and asking for help. He yells about being eaten and Oz makes fun of him saying the tree won't eat him. The monkey says he wasn't scared of the tree but the lion and Oz's face changes. He turns to see the lion and just Asia attacked, he let out a smoke bomb of red smoke and it scares the lion away.
Theodora complements him for being a great wizard and the monkey swears loyalty to Oz. Once Emerald city was in sight, Theodora cheers and asks that when Oz becomes King, will he make her his queen. He says yes. With much happiness, she skips ahead. Oz discusses thing with the monkey, asking if the oath could be taken back and when he says no, Oz tells him that he isn't the wizard.
ANYWAY, I'll summarize it. I'm getting a bit tired. Theodora's sister that was taking care of the city shows Oz the riches of being King and tells him to go and kill the evil witch at the dark woods by breaking her wand. He leaves without telling Theodora. The two men leave the city and head for the dark woods but when they reached a fork in the path, the two go towards China town because there was smoke. There, they meet a little doll that had her legs broken. She was crying because everyone in her town was broken and she couldn't leave for help. Oz fixes her legs with "magic in a bottle" (glue) and she joins the party after pretending to cry to get Oz to let her follow.
Once in the woods, they find the witch and steal her wand, only to discover that the witch was Glinda the good.Glinda tells Oz the truth and that her father wasn't killed by her, as Theodora's sister claimed, but by the sister herself. The sister was the true wicked witch. Theodora's sister, who is watching the whole thing through a crystal ball shows this to Theodora and says that she got to dance with Oz and he gave her a present, a music box. The same music box Oz gave her at the campfire the night they danced together. The sister says that Oz might be siding with Glinda and that he might make her queen since they look good together. This angers and saddens Theodora and she cries hot tears that burn her face.(Theodora masters over fire so when she's angry, she throws fireballs by accident, and when sad, cries hot tears that burn her face.) She goes to her room and smashes the mirror when she tells herself,"Serves you right."
She confronts her sister and her sister gives her an apple to make her forget and stop the pain in her heart. Theodora bites the apple and she starts feeling a horrid pain in her chest. Her sister says that it was only her heart shriveling up and dying. Just before Theodora collapses, she glares at her sister and says," You're the wicked witch," with tears in her eyes. She collapses and when she rises again, she clings to the table with green hands and black nails(claws).
So, after some fighting, confronting(Theodora appears at Glinda's land and shows Oz what happened to her and blames him for it), and more fighting, Oz scares the two witches away using smoke and some visual effects, he becomes the King as the great wizard,Oz. just before he seals himself off behind the throne, he says goodbye to everyone and gives them all gifts. The monkey gets his top hat and friendship, the doll got a new family which was Glinda, the monkey, sourpuss(that's his nickname. Can't remember the real name), the main thinker and himself. Glinda gets a kiss behind the curtains.
The story was good...I guess. The graphics, background designs and clothes designs we're amazing. The characters were also okay. In a nutshell, it was a good movie. I think you should watch it as this is very biased cause I didn't like how Theodora was treated. I really liked her and when she became the very infamous green-skinned wicked witch, I really didn't like the movie anymore. I give the movie a 6.7 out of 10.
I have to go now. Have to wake up early...ugh. Bye~

Mad Father review. I'm sorry
1st things 1st. SPOILER ALERT:IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THE GAME RUINED FOR YOU, DON'T READ.Okay, back to the review.I know I promised a kuroko no basuke review and I'm going to do it. Don't worry. It'll just be in the next post. More importantly! I just finished an RPG game called Mad Father and I just HAD to do the review. It's actually the third RPG game I've ever played and the ending just left me dumbfounded. It's quite a short game, when compared to you 10-hour long games but it's entertaining the whole way. You play a girl named Aya and you live in a mansion with your father, which is a mad scientist, and his assistant, Maria. Your mother passed away due to illness. Anyway, it is strongly pushed that Maria and you father were having an affair and all that. Ok, so, it's your mother's death's anniversary and it's midnight. You get a dream about your mother and wake up at the sound of your father's scream. You try to get to him and save him but discover that the dead bodies of your father's experiments are up and about. You also meet a blonde kid that helps you but he doesn't appear much(Finally a blonde kid in an RPG game that is good ||D(Ib and the Witch's house reference)) Anyway, you have to go through puzzles, stealth parts, quick time event parts, parts that make you wonder, you have a chainsaw and you CAN'T attack the enemies but can break barrels and vases? So, at the end, you discover that your mom was the cause of the curse and that you have to choose who to help. Help your dad and you MIGHT get the true ending. Help your mom and you get the worst. Sadly, knowing RPG games, the true ending wasn't going to be good so I didn't really have my hopes up but....why? So, after saving your father, with the last of her strength,my our mom shows you the truth, which is that your father was out to kill you so he could make you into a doll and keep you beautiful for eternity. He killed your mom, which accidentally heard him and was going to take you away, and like I said, was out to kill you. So, once you've found out, you start freaking out and your dad goes into a total psycho mode with his chainsaw and starts chasing you. You find Maria and she accidentally let's you pass, you escape and hide but Maria gets injured as your dad takes out his frustration on her, you help her, she begs forgiveness.Just so you know, throughout the whole game, I thought Maria was a butch but at the end, she was actually genuinely worried about you and I really felt for her. Anyway, so you try to escape but Maria collapses and asks you to go on without her and that she'll be following you. You escape to some hallway but a doll grabs your leg and you fall. Your dad is about to do you and as he yells "I love you!" a scalpel/knife stabs him and he collapses. He says I love you, Aya again but gets stabbed by three more knives/scalpels. It was Maria and you guys hug and all that but the crazy bugger comes back and tries again, only to get stabbed by the blonde kid. They all leave and he tells you that he was asked to help by Aya's mother and it was very sweet. He tells the two of them that he has to burn the house down to prevents history from repeating itself but he wanted Aya to remember all the lives sacrificed that day and all that. He kisses her on the forehead as a charm and it was a TOTAL "I have to ship this" moment. Maria and Aya leave and watch as the house burns down. They leave, with Maria leading, but Aya stays behind and finds a red book. This is where it gets a bit f#@ked. It shows a cottage that is supposed to be a clinic in the middle of a forest. A girl has come to ask for a free checkup cause her family couldn't afford it. The doctor is actually adult Aya and it all seems happy happy until the end. She asks the girl to lie down, calm down and take her anesthetic thing. Why did a checkup need that, cause "like father, like daughter" The camera slowly moves toward the next room to show dolls and An old Maria talking to herself about how it runs in the family, doctor. BLAM! Dumbfounded. The boy burned the house, her mom died, her dad died, MANY people died and she follows in her dad's footprints? Why???
Anyway, I have to go now. I haven't done my homework yet and the lessons are first period so yeah, Bye~

My OCs part 3: Thea, Katherine and Thomas
Continuation of the previous character thing, I'll introduce you guys to my youngest characters. Katherine Thrushfall, Thea Thrushfall and Thomas Woodsworth. The Thrushfall sisters are orphans and live in an orphanage with Thomas. Thomas isn't an orphan but the son to the owners, his mom and dad.
Thea Thrushfall
This little girl is only 7 years old and has been in the orphanage since she was 3. Her parents were in a murder. She was brought to the orphanage, with her sister, and have been living there ever since. Eventhough she looks very sweet, she is actually very mischievous and loves playing pranks on people. Other than her looks, she also has a few cute quirks like carrying around a pink bunny plush toy and wearing a pink dress with frills and ribbons. She also has a very well known quirk of giving everybody cute nicknames. She is very close to her sister and Thomas, or Tommy, but she is also very close to Claire, Ivy and Peace, the unique people of the orphanage. There are many other unique people but Ivy and Peace are the most creepy whereas Clair attracts the most spirits(literally). Her plushie, Bunny, was made by her sister Katherine but was teched out by the orphanage's owner, Mr. Woodsworth. he's a professor ans he works with robots and artificial life and intelligence.
Katherine Thrushfall
Thea's older sister by 5 years, Katherine plays a motherly role in Thea's life. A very pacifistic and modest character, Katherine takes care of all the orphans but pays close attention to her trouble-making little sister. Sometimes spoiling her too much, Katherine is constantly worrying that her sister might recall the murder of their parent. She was brought to the orphanage at the age of 8 and was taken care of well as she was a first-hand witness to the crime. She has a soft spot for cats and wears a headband with cat-ears on it. She has strange cat like abilities like being able to balance very well and being able to climb well. She is usually wearing a dark pink dress that has a cat tail sewn onto it. She learned how to sew and cook from Jessica and Mrs. Woodsworth.(btw, out of the two adults, I have only made Mr. Woodsworth a side character. I've never really drawn his wife so I don't really know what type of person she is.)
Thomas Woodsworth
Also known as Tommy, he is the only son of the couple that owns the orphanage. Eventhough he is only 8, he is rarely seen as he is usually locked up in his room doing experiments with chemicals and such. He is extremely mature for his age but is very distant with his brilliant but "pathetic", baby-faced father. His father is constantly trying to get closer with Thomas but always fails. Unlike his father, Thomas' hair is a shorter, better kept, neater version of his father's hair. He is said to look just like a younger version of his father but personality wise, they were very different. Thomas is good at dealing with many different scenarios as his parent's orphanage mainly has children with special abilities or features. There are also many robots that are kept in the basement below cause of his father's work.
That's all for now. I'm pretty sure you guys must be getting sick of this so I'll do something else next time, BUT I'm still continuing this so, I hope you guys can hold it as I slowly but surely go through all my important characters. look at the bright side, other than my 30 MAIN characters, I actually have a LOT of side characters and I'm not doing ALL of them. ANYWAY, next time, I think I'll be doing a review on an anime called Kuroko no Basuke. I'm not doing a full review of the manga but just a brief review on what I think of the anime's season 1. NOTE: I have NOT read the manga but I have seen some fan pictures and a few fan-comics. I have to go now. It's late and I have school tomorrow. Bye~

Me and my OCs part 2: Yuu, Minako and Elizabeth
The only reason I managed to write for the past 2 days is cause I'm sick and I've had a lot of time on my hands. I should really be studying or doing my homework but procrastination is a bitch that will haunt me forever. I plan on starting to do my 320 word Malay essay soon and finish my Accounting homework by the end of the day.
Yuu Sakagima
Also known as Yui. She's actually a girl and is the second child of.....her father which is the King of the Pacific ocean. Her older brother Minako(calls himself Minato cause Minako is a common Japanese GIRL'S name) and her younger sister Yuuki are quite close but there is a bit of a distance between the two girls. Yui is 15 and is very famous as she is very sweet, beautiful and rich. A lot of the princes are after her, as are many men, but she was together with the King of the Dead Sea which was Maroon Salt(Liver's character). He was the only surviving member of the Dead sea until he died due to a sudden illness. Yui's father then pushed so that she would get together with Rivet, a prince of the Atlantic(which is infamous for its cannibalistic culture). She's also close with Kira, Rivet's cousin, which is actually Maroon's spirit. Kira was born first and went into a coma. While in the coma, his spirit was born again as Maroon and with his death, went back to Kira. She likes Kira and he is actually the people's choice but her father insists on bringing Yui and Rivet together.
Minako Sakagima
Yui's older half-brother that was born through one of their father's affairs. Minako is 23 and has been recently forced to find a future wife. His father gave him a list of beautiful women to choose from....who am I kidding. These girls are all the princesses from the Atlantic ocean(Rivet's sisters) and their ages are from 5-12...I think. Out of all the girls, the prettiest one is Manaela, the youngest, and Minako accidentally blurted this out so, on the day he was to be introduced to all the girls, Manaela conveniently is attracted to Minako. Minako couldn't say no but couldn't say yes either when she asked him is he was going to be her husband so he said that they'll talk about it in the future. I pity this guy so mush but I'm not sorry for him enough to help him.
Elizabeth Defoe
A 13 year old Lakvian(fairy) that is engaged to Max(Liver's character), the 3rd prince to the Lakvian throne. She lived alone since she was 5 when her drunkard mother ran away, leaving her with a lot of debts. Her mother was saved by Max and she repaid him by giving him her daughter's hand. His father,the King, agreed and they went off to find her. While this was going on, Elizabeth was the librarian in the royal library. She was now 13, suddenly debt free, living in the castle and could go to school again. She wasn't used to any of this but she was still very smart. She self-taught herself many things like how to play the violin, how to clean the house and etc. She did well in school, until she was accused of murder and had to run away to Earth. Kris(Max's loyal servant and Elizabeth's friend) helped her escape but it was actually a plan by the King to prevent Elizabeth from getting hurt in the war that was about to happen. When she was in Earth, she had no memory of Lakvia whatsoever until she got a present at the door that had her chain with the royal Lakvian symbol on it. After a few months, she discovered Kris but he was very different. It was discovered that during the few months she was in Earth, Lakvia went through a time skip and 2 years had passed. Max was now 15 and Kris had become totally obedient and had lost an arm. Elizabeth was welcomed back to Lakvia and she had to adapt. She didn't have to hide her wings anymore but flying had to be tough to re-learn....not really. Elizabeth is just awesome, to me, that way. She learns well and can do most things that princesses don't really need to know how to do. On the dark-side, she doesn't know how to do things princesses should know how to do like ball-room dancing and all that.
That's all for now. I really hope one of you would comment this time about who you guys like the most so far. I have to go now. I need to take my medicine. Bye~
