Cute geisha accecories!



I have always wanted to own all those hair ornaments that the Geisha's wear. I know its easy to find chopsticks at your local Claire's and Icing store, but they would never stock the sticks with the lovely flowers or small charms dangling on the end. Luckily I found:

Japanese Language Learning RPG



If you are like me and too lazy to formally learn a new language, here is a fun game to play. Its worth it trust me. Its called Knuckles in China land.
Why its so great:
-You can learn Japanese, German, or Indonesian
-You can keep adding new vocabulary
-You explore and battle the monsters in China Land
-Nostalgic Save points of Sonic games
-multiple endings

If you want the full description of the game you can learn more at www.kicl.info/

I personally just used this link because I couldn't figure out all the different downloads I had to do i.e directx etc etc.

I'm a sucker for cute girl games


Sometimes when I'm bored, I just can't get the energy to pick up my DS, or play Nintendo/playstation. I'm in the mood for something cute and simple. Targeted towards pre-teens and teens, this website has a bunch of unique games exclusively for girls. They have a bunch of cooking, puzzle,make-up and make-over games. The best is that the clothes that you get to play with are always up to date with the fashion in Asia. Too bad I can't cook in real life, but my virtual ramen is is to die for. haha.

Best Cosplay Sites for Americans



I've looked over and over again for good cosplay sites and have tried to review them all. I am only going to post the ones that actually impressed me. They may be pricey for some people, but after looking at their gallery of costumes, its worth it.

http://www.acparadise.com/
This site has an EXTENSIVE gallery of costumes, but you have to be a member to see it. Free to sign up.

http://www.cosplaymagic.com
Very trusted yahoo seller site. Also another large selection of costumes of all age types. Free shipping to North America, Europe, Canada, and Japan. Each selection also links you up with similar items. Such as character key chain. Very cute.

http://www.mooncostumes.com/
Another extensive gallery, no membership required. Sizes come in xs-3x. A lot of series to choose from.

Trying to be Kawaii in America


I bet all the girls in America who read Manga and watch anime wished life was more like the stories. Unfortunately, we are on the other side of the world and our culture couldn't be anymore different. If we tried to wear the same style of clothes, we honestly just look like we came out of the 80's. Their clothes are tiny and cute and we wish we could look like that.(>_<) So this silly little blog is just going to concentrate on bringing Asia a little closer to us. I am 100% Filipina, but my dark skin, broad shoulders, and non asian features don't help out. Anyway, I would proudly call myself American before I would say Filipina.
