No, thank you sweetie, for writing such an awesome story~~ I'll be waiting patiently for updates now that I'm irrevocably hooked! And the drabble posted on LJ just made me giggle like no-tomorrow~~~

I'll be waiting as patient as I can for updates!! (L)

YAYYY!!! Apparently our stories love each other too~ So much love there~ lalalala. I AM DEFINITELY VOTING YOU DEARIE!!! it's the only right thing to do given that you give me such amazing reads! Anyway, yes dearie I understand perfectly about the rate of replies! Everyone's celebrating Mother's Day today so I guess we are all busy! Guess what? My family is going out for dinner as well! We are going to some restaurant at some hotel LOL. It's a buffet, so I can just imagine how much I am going to be eating. As if I am not fat enough but LOL. OKAY. EAT. FOOOOOOD. I hope you have a great dinner too! And do give your mom loads of huggggs!!!

Ooooooh I lurrrrve hiding in my room while everyone's up! Nothing beats reading updates or emails in the morning; somehow you are still in the dreamy state and everything's all fuzzy and nice. LOL!! I wear glasses too!! And my eyes are SO bad, I am nearly a mole with my blindness. It's impossible for me to do anything without my glasses, and I am either always in contact lenses or simply in my thick, nerdy specs. (which I have no photos of, given how hideous it makes me) Yay for being united in hatred for spectacles!! Woots! And I am sure you are still pretty and adorable AND intellectual looking with glasses

Anyway sweetie, yes the deal is that there is a one day internship at the stores, so you get to learn the ropes and perhaps, be in better position to judge if the job is suitable or not! It's really very exciting and I hope everything goes well! You're right, I really love Japan! I've been in love with that place since I was a mere tot of 5, when my dad's Japanese friend gave me my first doll. It was a Kyoto geisha doll, and it just kinda started from there. But I didn't start learning the language because of that...I started learning Japanese at 13 because I fell in love with Jpop music. LOL! Thank you so much for rooting for me; it means so much to me to have your support!

Of course!! If I ever go Canada I will let you know~ Speaking of which, this is so random but I saw this documentary filmed in Canada an hour ago. LOL. It's about some bears fishing salmon at some river. LOL. not too exciting, I know, but still, the place is really pretty.

OMG OMG OMG You just had to tell me about the update for 'Kinky'!!! I am definitely seating on the edge of my seat waiting for it - I cannot wait because it is such an amazing story and I really want to read what happens in the end. I understand there's not too much of a plot there since it is a small project compared to your stories like Blood Stained, but it is still so enjoyable. Can't wait!! And dearie I really can't do lemons well:/ I am trying to do better, so we shall see what happens subsequently in Wisteria!! I love writing Wisteria, but it is getting SOOO long. I hope to keep it at...perhaps, 70 chapters?

Oh dear you have such good grades in school!!! WOW!! Keep up your excellent work!! I got 4.2 in my first semester for my GPA, but I am graduating with 3.92. Arrrrgh. annoying. But it's really because my brains are not too functional LOL. Keep working hard Maddie dear!! I will be rooting for you the entire time!! If you work hard, I will send you a smokin' hot japanese dude via airmail!!! LOL!!!! That's such a dream come true. I will put him in a box and you can have fun unwrapping. *winks*

LOL. let's feed that irritating dude to the sharks from Pinky Island!!! We can tie him to a wooden plank or something and lower him till he barely skims the water surface HAHAHA. OMG I am sadistic, really. I try to believe I am not, but I actually am. LOL!!!!

But even so, I still love you LOADS.

OMG I swear I am psychotic and stalkerish. I LOVE THE WAY WISTERIA AND BLOOD STAINED ARE SO CLOSELY POSITIONED ON THE FANFICTION PAGE!! Such happiness!! and okay now I am off to read Blood Stained!! YAY!! life treats me well, really. Much love to you, love!!

Thank you for the stunning review of Wisteria, sweetheart!!! LOL I am not complaining about the little mistake, it is okay!! And LOL technically speaking, Kagome does have a pooch, doesn't she? In the huge form of Sesshoumaru

I shall not elaborate further so you can have fun reading future chapters

HAHAHA YOU KNOW WHAT?? When I got the alert for a wall post from you, I was staring at the clock on my screen and wondering, "No way. 10 plus is wayyy too early for this sleeping beauty." LOL!! But it's really you!!! why are you up so early dearie!! Go and catch up on more beauty sleep!! *huggggles* But still, I cannot say I am not happy to hear from you. I will type more furiously so I can talk more to you before I fly off on Monday. I am glad you're safely at your parents' place now, and hope everything's going fine! Have a good time there, and have fun catching up with them. And love, I will definitely mail you sooon!! I'm really writing love letters to you so don't you run from the love!! LOL.

Okay, as for the job, let me now bore you with the details. Essentially, after I come back from Japan on the 28th May, I will be flying off to Japan again in mid-June for the final round interview and one-day internship at the Uniqlo stores before an offer of employment is made. So I have one more round to go, and I hope it will all go smoothly. Please don't let my big mouth jinx anything. LOL!! So if I do get the job, I'd be stationed in Japan for a good two years. And that's AT LEAST two years. It might be longer, I don't know. I am still happily mooching off my parents for now and living at home! But of course, if I go to Tokyo my employer would be helping us with arranging the accommodation and so on. It is a global hiring program for management trainees, so I expect to see many outstanding individuals from other countries. Stress much? HELL YEAHHH.

And Tsumago is the pretty place which I gave you the blog link to!! It's a pretty interesting place really, they preserved the entire village from edo era till now. So, that makes it...200 hundred years old? And I will be going to Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto. It's a fox spirit shrine, so I will help you say hi if I see Shippo hopping around that place. LOL! Dearie you don't have to be sorry for not knowing Japan well, I mean, it's so far away from where you are, you haven't visited the place yet, so it only makes sense that you do not know too much! I only know because it's my fourth time there, and I've spent months in Japan on my previous trips. It's just like how I know NOTHING about Canada. I have to visit some day...it looks soooo beautiful with all that nature and scenery. It's something I have never experienced, so I am looking forward to visiting some day in future.

I am 200% sure (that's A LOT) that you will become a wonderful authoress!! As if you are not already one, but you will get better and better!! I love your stories, and I am your greatest fan. I have problems with writing lemons, as you already know. Seriously. I have problems with it. HAHA I thought I was going to write one for Wisteria, but I kinda evaded it because I did not know how to go about writing it well. ARRRRGH. It's almost frustrating but I will do it one day. I am not doing a lemon for the sake of doing one, but it's because Sesshoumaru needs to get some. HAHAHAHA did I just say that??! Oh gosh. *reddens* On a less rated note, LOL I sure am looking forward to hearing from you and reading your updates when I get back! Damn the iPhone and its bills...honestly, I feel dumb for buying a smart phone that's too smart for me. But you're right, the phone bill is going to be PHWOARRRR so I'd better terminate the GPRS first.

Darling you sound like you're doing fantastically well!! Honors roll is not easy at all - I just survived it and it left me barely alive. HAHA. But of course, you are my dearest Maddie and this is of NO PROBLEM to you!! You can definitely do it and go into the course smoothly. Just hang in there and work hard!! Know I will be rooting for you!! In the meantime while I am in Japan, I will try my best to drop you a quick mail if I get hold of internet. That'd would be soooo fun!!! Like, "Maddie guess what?? I am mailing you from Japan!!" LOL. Maybe I will kidnap some hot Japanese dude and mail him to you too *evil cackles*

LOL!! Yes normal men should just stick to their roles of being normal men. No hero-playing, honestly, I almost wanted to kill that stupid guy, Wil. He was being such a cow, and I was about to die from how irritating he was being. I needed a break from him, and I got it!! I haven't heard from him in awhile. And I SOOOO agree with you on how gay friends do not play mind games!! They are just more straightforward and kind. I detest men who play mind games. Nothing's worse than knowing how a girl feels for you and exploiting her kindness. That sucks BIG TIME.

Awwww if the world was made up of you, you and more you, it will be a perfect place!! *huggggles* Thank you for being so sweet, love!

Yes yes yes!!! Thank you thank you darling!!!! It must have been you, lucky honey bunny, bringing me so much luck!!! Thank you soooo much for sharing my joy - I knew I had to tell you!! I was keeping quiet about it from people around me for fear of jinxing it, but...LOL this is amazing!! When I opened the email I was staring at it for 5 minutes with bated breath. Like, I just forgot how to breathe or speak, but... But of course, don't worry or miss me too much because I will always be here for you!!! *hugggles*

Also, if I end up working for Uniqlo, I will be based in Tokyo. But that doesn't make much of a difference since I will still be on Dokuga and I will still love you as always!! I will definitely post the postcard, no doubt about it!! I will write it when I reach Tsumago so it feels extra special just for you!! You're too cute and now I am worrying about how I am going to stuff so much love into a postcard!! Anyway, I will only be sending it out on the 21st!! I wonder if 6 days is enough for something to reach Canada from Japan via snail mail?? LOL. Please let me know asap if you wish for it to be sent to another mail account!! And being brilliant as you always are, you are right!! Part of the agenda for my trip to Japan is to collect inspiration for Wisteria, since I am going back to the SAME OLD PLACES AGAIN. I am going to Gion in Kyoto, Nijo castle, hopefully the old imperial palace and also, some temples to see the Wisteria blossoms.

LOL you are too cute; why would you feel bad about your own amazing stories??! Blood Stained makes me SOOOOO happy to read it, and if that isn't good I have no idea what is. Honestly, I look forward to more updates, and the whole deal about going to Japan means I have barely any internet connection for 18 days (since I am on the go and I very sensibly terminated my iPhone's GPRS since I don't want to stare at a 2000 dollar phone bill at the end of the month LOL) So when I come back, there will be many chapters of amazing stories for me to slowly read, Blood Stained included!! Woohooo!! How great would that be?? And I promise to take loads of pictures so maybe I will create a photobucket account or something so you can see the nice places

Thank you for talking with me about school...yes, now that you said it, it's true! I cannot recall any period of my life that has nothing to do with school. It's all school, school, school and MORE school. Gosh. Help. HAHA. And your time will come soon! How long more do you have till graduation? By then, it will be my turn to be so happy for you!! I cannot wait for your anime convention either!!! Please tell me you will take loads of pictures and show them to me!!! I have to see. Really. HAVE TO. Please spam me in the meantime so I can feel the love!!! *hugggles* I will drop you quick mails if I can, but because I am staying in inns (expensive but cool) and hostels (because they are so much cheaper), I don't really get access to internet. *sobs*

I am already missing you. Gosh. But I figured I would have so much, so much, so much stories to tell you bit by bit.

LOL!! I almost fell off my chair when I saw what you said about the stupid nuisance - you're right, he can never make it if he tries to be a psychologist because he is in total need of one. What a loser, really! Just because I have fun in life does not mean I have something to hide and he thinks he is my savior or something. Arrrrrgh. Utter BS. I need NORMAL MEN in my life. really. I really DO NOT NEED A HERO, so he should stop trying to fix me.

Anyway, go gay guys!!! They are so much nicer friends. I've never had a gay friend who asked me if I was hiding a broken heart or whateverrrr LOL. They are so much cooler and genuinely treasure friendship. Plus, you can go shopping with them! That's sooo much better eh? Oh gosh, at the rate I am going, I might never get married But it's OKAY, I have you!!!! *hugggles* miss you miss you miss youuuuu.

Maddie love!!! I am outside now and won't be able to reply for too much now, but omg I have to share joy with you no matter what! Remember the uniqlo global hiring program I told you about?? I got accepted into the third round of the global hiring! They'll be flying me to Tokyo for my final interview!! I'll be going there in mid June after I get back from my grad trip!! I am soooooo excited dear!!! You are the 4th person to
know about this!!! Yay!!!

Awwww sweetheart thank you thank you!! I really am thankful to get nominated this time round because the nomination banner is SOOOOOOO cute!! It got me squealing when I saw it! LOL. Getting nominated is good enough, LOL I don't think I am going to ever be "swimming in awards" because the competition here is stiff and everyone's soooo amazing!! My favorite stories are all not my own, so I am kinda rooting for others if you get what I mean. LOL Best drabble?? Well, all of polarity is excellent and I haven't found a chapter which I did not like, so... You deserved all your nominations dear!! Keep writing cos you do it so well!

I AM FINALLY DONE WITH SCHOOL. But I kinda submitted the final paper in with mixed feelings...somehow I feel that I should be happy that it is all over, but at the same time, it felt kinda sad that I am no longer going to be a student and have it easier in life. I am dreading work. Bad mindset, yes I know, but it's kinda scary. I am never going to take an exam again in a great big hall with all the other students, and strangely enough, I am not too happy about it. Am I weird or what??? When I have to study for it, I complain to no end. Now that it is over, I feel strange. LOL.

Congratulations on the liberation from pain killers!! I am glad you are back to being okay again! *huggggs* take good care of yourself, alright? And be sure to adjust the height of your chair/table when you type away on the computer, since it affects your posture and the muscles in your back and shoulders as well. Gosh I am so naggy!! Sorry for going on and on like an old grandma!!

Anyway hun, please send me your address in private via email or whatever!! You will be visiting your parents eh? So maybe I will send it to the place where you're staying, so you can see it when you get back. It beats sending it to your parents' place, only to have it arrive AFTER you go home. LOL. That'd have been sucky. I am glad you like the pretty place!! I'd love to bring you along and we can totally re-enact romantic moments from Wisteria or something LOL!!! It's really quaint and rustic, isn't it? I saw that place on this Canadian guy's blog, and I told myself immediately, "That's it. I AM GOING THERE." You should really visit that place sometime, Maddie!! I am leaving in...4 days?? Honey bunny I will miss you soooo soooo soooo much!!!

I am glad your friend stepped out of his closet status!! Gays make the best friends, really. They understand us wayyyyy better than straight guys can, and it helps because they are just so sweet and sensitive. Happy for him!! On the other hand, I am happily IGNORING that stupid, stupid cow. I somehow hope he has some super spyware program so he can see that I AM SICK OF TAKING THE CRAP HE GIVES ME. You know, he asked me the other day if I was genuinely happy. Like, HUH??? You know the way I am; I talk excessively, laugh excessively and try to enjoy life as much as I can. And all this while, he claimed he was trying to figure out if my smiles and laughter are genuine??? Like he said he thought I might be lonely and sad inside which is why I mask my innate loneliness with smiles. HURHURHUR. I told him I was perfectly happy, and I would be happier if he stopped trying to analyze me like I was a mental patient. Let's kidnap him to PINKY ISLAND and tie him to a tree and stone him with coconuts!!!! LOL!!

MADDIE MY SWEETIE!!!! *JUMPS* Thank you, thank you for the wonderful updates!! I LURRRRVE THE NEW CHAPTERS FOR BLOOD STAINED and POLARITY!! Congratulations too, on all the nominations!!! The nomination banner this time round is SOOOOO adorable Congratulations too, for getting off those painkillers! The sooner, the better!! I hope those occasional pains would go away too so you'd be perfectly alright once again!! *HUGGLES* I am so sorry for the slow replies - I've been studying for my final (AS IN REALLY FINAL) paper which is on Wednesday, and I think I should work hard on it since it is really the last time. But I miss you too much, so I am taking a short break to reply your love letters!! LOL. Speaking of the interviews, yes, I've had a few, but as of now I am still awaiting reply. LOL the one which I am waiting for is my first choice for a job, so I am praying and praying and praying it comes out fine!!! The other job is teaching, but it's like, my second choice job, so...I will see how it goes. I will DEFINITELY let you know about the updates!!

I know I am supposed to be focusing on Wisteria right now, but as I told another lovely friend Aurora Antheia Raine here, my muse is sort of dried up because of the exams!! Everytime I want to sit down and write stories, I keep thinking of exams and I figured I should focus on those first. Which explains. The muse is as dried as a prune now But I think it will come back to me once I am done with the evil exams!! It has to, or I'd go crazy LOL. And look who's the talented one!! You can write so well and your ideas are...never ending!!! amazing!! Blood Stained is getting soooo good, and I really hope things start going better. I've said this before, but I really don't like the way Kagome treats Sesshoumaru sometimes They deserve to be all lovey-dovey and LOL that's just me whining!! LOL.

Yes, Maddie I know, right??? He is ALWAYS using that bullshit tone on me and it is SOOOOO annoying because I get guilt-tripped into being nice to him!! ARRRRRGH. You could hear the sarcasm too right??? It was practically dripping off the screen!! I got so royally pissed at him!!! Wanted to scream at him and tell him to go away from me but point is, I didnt want to give him the satisfaction of knowing he managed to irritate me. But I think he might have sensed the two of us cursing him somehow because he did not contact me since the day I last ranted to you about him! WOOTS! The guy I use as my fake boyfriend is...well, sort of gay. LOL!!! He is a closet gay, I think. So far he has never admitted it to me openly, but he kinda said something like, "No woman has ever caught my eye" blah blah blah. LOL. Which means something about his sexuality, I guess. But it's cool, I still love him in the friendly way. I adore my friends!! Of course, that means you tooo!!!

I was just wondering if you listen to music while you study? I realized I have to listen when I study!! LOL at the cute little cousin of yours!! why are kids SOOOO adorable??? But yes, technology kills the human touch! I was wondering if you'd mind if I sent you a postcard or something from Japan? I am going to this ancient place in Tsumago, Nagano prefecture, which is an Edo-period old town since 200 years ago! It has been retained in the exact manner as it was, so it's really kinda cool!

Go see this, dearie!!
