Oooooh that's really cool!! I can't believe I could actually guess from seeing your art. You know, one of my very good friends from school is actually half-Filipino, half-Chinese, and she speaks Tagalog with her family as well! You'd be surprised at the number of Filipinos here in Singapore You must be a really pretty girl! All the friends I have of mixed heritage are so pretty. And your parents sound absolutely adorable~

Guess what, Rika?? My foray into manga/anime began with Sailor Moon!! How coincidental!! I was a total Hino Rei fan, and I loved their mini skirts. Pervy little girl I was, but...LOL! Disney is beautiful as well, and I can totally see why you're so good at what you do! Have you ever thought of drawing professionally? I'll definitely buy the stuff you draw, I'm sure!

You're definitely welcomed on that review; I was only being honest with how I feel! You do such gorgeous art, and I will definitely write a fanfic for you based off one of your art works. I am very tempted to use your Drawble of the 'wax' prompt, but I have no idea what time frame to set it in. If you do have an idea, do enlighten me! I was also thinking of the "rose" prompt, where Kagome looked like a femme fatale with a submissive Sesshoumaru. But then again, I wanted to do a HOST CLUB ONESHOT. Femme fatales don't visit host clubs; lonely, rich girls do.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEE *fangirl jump* Thank you soooo much in advance! Anything you draw is good, and I am looking forward to seeing it

Awwww thank you dearie!! Your reviews were stunning, and they made me go "awwww". You're so cute!! You make me so motivated to write more, and in fact, I am writing the new chapter right now. The best thing about still being in the job hunt is how I can write, write and write.

Oh gosh, getting lost in the dark part of town without a functioning cell phone is crazy! poor you! But thankfully, you're okay LOL short asian boy hair?? That sounds really cool! I've been meaning to ask you this...are you of asian heritage? You see, your art is always done in a very sweet manga-ish, sometimes even shoujo, style. I am not saying Westerners or anyone of another descent are not able to draw manga-ish styles, but I figured it was more common to see Asian fan-artists doing them.

Awww you should go Hong Kong! I ate my way through the place when I was there...LOL like chomp chomp chomp.

Anyway, I saw your latest fanart and commented on it. It was perfection in a jpeg file. I LOVED IT.

AWWWW the little girls are soooooo adorable!! *floating hearts + swirly eyes* I'd love to kidnap one for myself and feed her cookies and milk. LOL. Okay, that sounds totally psychotic but you get the point.

If you ever plan to go to Tsumago, do let me know so I can tell you the easiest way to get there by public transport! Travelling to Tsumago is a b**** (It took 4 hours - 1 bullet train from Osaka, 2 local subway trains and a bus!!!) but it will all be worth it eventually.

I know what you mean about books!! I think most people who love reading/writing fanfiction are all bookworms at heart You really should try staying at a ryokan again, especially now that you can appreciate it better than you could at seven. I actually went to Hong Kong when I was four, and it's pretty sad because I barely remember anything! I really really want to go there now.

Thank you for the review of chapter 16 of Happily Ever After! Hojo's getting more and more disgusting. I love writing happy fluff moments for Sesshoumaru and Kagome though They make such a cute pair!

Awwww Rika-chan, thank you for the lovely review of Sweet Little Secret again! I have no idea why but I cannot stop writing. Gosh, I got a terrible case of plotbunny-titis. I had great fun writing this one; it was fun writing Sesshoumaru as a high school senior. If only I had a Sesshoumaru back in my high school...

Speaking of Tsumago, you really should visit! You won't regret it, trust me! But I seriously suggest bringing your own entertainment (like magazines and books) because it gets REALLY boring at night. Walking along the darkened streets is nice, but it gets real creepy after a while.

I absolutely adore little Japanese girls! They look so adorable, and they always have the nicest hairstyles! Awwww I'd LOVE to see a lolita-style yukata!! that sounds too cute

Awwww Rika dear thank you for the stunning reviews of Happily Ever After! Don't you agree that Sesshoumaru does resemble an Enoki mushroom in some way?? LOL.

Thank you for taking a look at my art...you are such a sweetheart! *huggles* I am so honored to have you comment on it. I mean, you are my favorite artist here on Dokuga, and gosh, what am I talking about, I love Heartbeats too so I love everything you do!

The host clubs are soooooo intriguing because I really really wanted to see what goes on in there, though it's kinda shady. LOL. Your mother's right; those guys look fancier than ordinary girls on the street. They have such magnificent hair, really.

Awww you were a Sanrio fan too!! Actually...I still am. XD I collect Hello Kitty handkerchiefs. *blushes*

I will definitely work harder to write better stories! In fact, chapter 12 of Happily Ever After will be up tomorrow. Till then, take care!

Rika-chan!! I saw your beautiful drawble (prompt: wax) and even though I've already left a comment for it, I'd like to tell you how much I loved it! It's gorgeous, and I am seriously trying to think of how I can create some fanfiction for it!

Anyway, I actually drew fanart for Happily Ever After's chapter 9 and uploaded it here on Dokuga! I feel so embarrassed talking about my substandard art in front of an amazing artist like yourself, but I'd be honored if you could take a look at it

Awww Rika, thank you for your lovely review of Happily Ever After again! Your words always make my day, and don't we all love it when Sesshomaru says something romantic?? *sighs in fan girl bliss* The poor guy will suffer further in the story as it goes along, but don't worry, for Kagome is there. Chapter 8 is up, please do check it out! More cute moments to squeal over!
