I started watching the second season of Hana Yori Dango (Hana Yori Dango Returns) yesterday and was a bit surprised at the change in their appearance, mostly for the F4 though since Tsukushi looked the same to me. XD They looked more mature in this though.

Verdict? From the couple of episodes I’ve watched so far, I think this is a good sequel for the first season. I didn’t even know I could cry during a sushi dinner, damn it!

I’m also reading the manga in my spare time to see how the live action series deviated from the manga. Well, it deviated a lot. I guess the one who followed the manga more closely would be the Taiwanese version, Meteor Garden. But in my opinion, the japanese version is definitely better.

A lot has been happening with our current host lately that has got Jasmine and I pulling our hair from the roots. It seems like everyday we find something new that we have to resolve, or something wrong with the server. We fully cooperate with them but the response rate is so slow…. gah…. Jas is now very inclined to change hosts… can’t say I blame her.

So if you find that I haven’t posted for a while, you can’t see this blog, that’ll partly be because of server problems. *hides in corner and pretends everything’s normal*

Aha! I’m finally going to post some pictures from my vacation here. I’ll group them per theme because I plan on making a story for each. XD Especially about the pets.

In the meantime here are some of my pictures of the various floral species I found at my aunt’s home. She loves orchids and other plants and it’s quite obvious since her house is littered with them.
