So… today is my graduation party. And it’s formal, with high heels and stuff. I’M PRETTY NERVOUS OMGGGG I DUNNO HOW TO WALK IN THOSE THINGS but oh well. The good thing is that there’s a dessert buffet, I can eat all the sweet stuff I want! Awesome.

Well, I was feeling nervous when Nouciel from H!O told me that I had to listen to Mano Erina’s first and new album: FRIENDS. I had mixed feelings about this release, since I always found Mano’s music boring… but at the same time, I love listening to new albums. So yeah, I downloaded and started listening… and I gotta say this album is REALLY REALLY GOOD.
I’m not in “Mano-hate” mood since I listened to Kono Mune no Tokimeki wo, now I really like her, I find her sweet. Her music is also really old-school-ish. I don’t really like that style, sadly… I have to say I hate COVER YOU and stuff, but while that album EPIC FAILED, this album is WINNING.
It’s… really relaxing and stuff. Songs that I hated once sounded so awesome here. UFA did a good job at the order of the songs: songs that aren’t really great sound cool. My favourites? Otome no Inori, Santa no Saxophone, Kono Mune no Tokimeki wo, Mano Piano (album ver.). Osozaki Musume is cool too, I apreciate the guitar. Maybe Mano Piano is my fav one, it’s really cute. Nee aitai yo, aitai yo ~ ♪ ♥
You can tell Mano improved her voice a lot if you listen to the original version of Mano Piano and then the album version (or the other way round, if you want). Congrats to Manoeri! She’s such a hardworker and I’m happy for her that this album turned out so good!

RE cover + LE cover… they aren’t that nice, in the LE cover Mano has weird eyebrows and the RE looks like a lame version of Love&Peace=Paradise

And since I still have time until I have to go to the hairdresser, I’m changing the subject hardcorely again to talk about my fandom. Today I woke up and realized that HELL, I DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY… while some months ago, I had like… US$100? What happened to the money? Well, it all went to H!P stuff. You may think before H!P I was full of money, then… but that’s just wrong. Before H!P (aka before 2007) I spent all my money on…

The Zatch Bell one is not even mine (it's a gift for my best friend), but it looked cute there ♥ I love the cover!
YES.
And that’s not all my collection… since I also bought a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World and Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars some years ago. Obviously, I still have my gamer mood! I wanna buy Kirby Adventure for the Nintendo and Terranigma for the SNES ♥ … but manga is what I don’t really buy as often as I used to.

My manga collection… years and years of saving money!

It's not even complete... I lent 2 Angelic Layer and 1 Love Hina tankoubons... I also had a "How to draw manga", but I dunno where it is xD
I’m obsessed with buying stuff. It’s just… awesome. I can’t help but buy WHATEVER THE HELL IT COMES when I have money.
Now let’s see my H!P collection I have since the end of 2007 ~ It’s not really big, but seeing H!P stuff is really expensive… yeah.
Seeing all the stuff I have, I started wondering… so this is why I don’t have a life!
Yeah, that’s why. I buy what I want, and if I have extra money, I go out. And believe me, I don’t have extra money. Haha.
So yeah, that’s all for now! I gotta take a shower right now… u know, hairdresser. Wish me luck in the party!
