As many of you out there may know by now, I really like manga and anime (I'm acting president of anime club, no duh!), so a large portion of my internet (and basically every other second of my) life is devoted to reading complete scanlations online.
So it seems that even after reading countless mangas, I still get so emotional over the story/character/drams plot-line. It seems that I will have to keep a box of tissues next to me at all times!
The manga that sparked this new post is called Koko ni Iru yo!. It's one of those I find by just going from one manga to the next (they sometimes turn out to be the best!) and it was completed (Huge plus when searching for a quick read. No tense waiting....Like Cage of Eden).
Koko ni Iru yo! drew me in quick fast since it's about this girl who is ignored in her school but has this blog where she has two good friends who comment all the time. I like how it's one of those Slice-of-Life stories that are really believable. I love cheering on the guy characters that the main girl is always caught between (yet I always cheer for the one the main character doesn't pick...Hm)
I really love how Koko ni Iru yo! shows a lot of panels with the blog. It makes me want to see if the manga I'm creating with Spain (update on that soon!) could incorporate stuff like that.
So if you want to read this manga (it has a long name), here is a link. http://manga.animea.net/koko-ni-iru-yo-.html And if you start thinking I'm sappy cause I start crying at something like this, I'll smack you! I really feel for the main characters. Let the Otaku have her moments, and she will seem normal again soon! So ciao for now, I want to finish it up and I only have twenty minutes now!

Life is all "pink and fluffy"
And the reason for that is that finals are finally over! And I passed every class (even if just barely). With new classes that I feel a lot more confidant in. Like computer animation (though the program crashed twice on me) and sociology (I made new friends! One is from Italy). I can now relax for about two days until it's back to work. Now on to the important stuff.
Tea!
I have been drinking tea every day at school. Those are mostly my normal green tea in those convenient little pouches (it's almost all gone). Due to a present I got from Teavana (new heaven on Earth) I have been drinking a white Ayurvedic Chai tea. Now I have learned that white chai has a very weak flavor after adding in the milk (which you add before pouring in the tea). It's not the milk's fault since the main flavor has a very high spice note and it overwhelms the main flavor (plus, I like sweet tea and having the sweetness compete with the spice is not very pleasant). I have solved this problem by steeping the tea for longer and for using around 2.4 teaspoons instead of 1.5. About two to three teaspoons of sugar and a good dollop of milk and the white tea is good! (Remember to have hot water at around the temperature as stated in directions.)
The Samurai Mate Chai hasn't been used as much do to the fact the water needs to be hotter and that there is caffeine in that one. Needs more suger than the Ayurvedic but good when doing last minute finals (Real last minute....).
That's all for the Tea Update for today! I hope to get more tea (that isn't chai) soon like the Moroccan Mint or Sakura Allure. The Sakura Allure brews a cool red colour!
Extra Note: Sorry if I ever type in chia instead of chai. I try to be careful with that.
Ciao for now!
