yahhhhh!!!!! heh.. been a couple of days. but shocking nonetheless. Guess everyone now knows that Akito is a girl!! shocking!! Hmm.... haven't followed the scans closely, just reading the summaries on shadow's site. anyway, I suck at picking up on the clues since I can't read Japanese!! *sigh* wish I understood japanese... wish I understood chinese... guess I should start huh.

read a scanlation the other day where they put the literal translation of the japanese names in the manga. so so strange... i love the concept where they translate the names too, i wish all of them would do that since the names most certainly give an added perspective to the stories. but putting them right into the manga just sounds strange. best case scenario is translation of names up front but usage of the japanese names in the manga. would help us greatly in learning new japanese words too.

have been watching too much olympics lately too... whole gymnastics fiasco is kinda entertaining actually. too bad the malaysian judge was mentioned in a bad light *sigh* anyway, the shuttlers got nailed, so sad, so sad... guess it's all up to Josiah Ng now. the malaysian olympic website sucks but you can follow the progress of the olympians on the rtm website. yada yada yada.... good luck Josiah!!
