Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well. It was a bit of a tough day for me today. I had a migraine literally for twelve hours. Despite my medications, it would never completely leave. I'm finally feeling half way human, but am going to go to bed pretty soon and try to sleep the remainder of these throbbing temples off.

In the mean time, I hope everyone enjoys the entry I did for the shihanaday competition a while back. I never got around to posting this on my LJ, so I thought I'd share. Thank you and ja ne for now! =~.^=V

"An Unfinished Tale"
By: Miracle Shining miracleshining
PAIRING: SiHan
RATING: PG-13
GENRE: Action/Romance/AU
LEGAL JUNK: Don't own, just borrowing.
SUMMARY: An old journal. A lost ship. A story waiting to be told.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Written for the shihanaday competition. Thanks to my sweet wings_strength9 for hosting this!

( An Unfinished Tale )

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well. I am alive, I know it's been almost a week since I posted to my LJ. It's been super busy for me at work and I pretty much come home now, eat and go to bed. (Which is where I'm heading pretty soon in fact.)

I did got out with K tonight and we went and saw "Disney's A Christmas Carol." It was very good and stayed almost word for word to the book. The animation was fantastic but scared a couple of the small children in the audience.

Other than that, I've been focused almost soley on work. Thus, the next chapter of "Like Blood to Water" is still in the prepping stages. I'll be glad when I can finally sit down and seriously type it because I so want to get Yunho and Yoochun and Yuu in the same room together! XD It will be amazing!

I also would like to return to working on some HanHae work as well as some short stuff featuring TakkaPi. There is actually a potential for another sequel in the "Impasse/AAO!verse" if my mind continues to wander that direction. I even have a mental skeletal outline that's been worked out for two months. But because I can't multi task when it comes to chaptered fics, "Like Blood to Water" will be finished first. Once again though, I welcome any of my "Impasse/AAO" fans to continue to write in my universe. I love everyone's ideas!

That's all for tonight. Hopefully I'll have something a bit more interesting to read next time. Ja ne for now! =~.^=V

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! I had a very busy day between work and a crafting group I attended. All and all though, it was pretty fun. Just glad to be home. I don't work tomorrow, but the nephews are coming over, so that will keep me pretty busy.

I wanted to share my dear March's (march_kyo) newest fan video for my newest chapter. This video just gave me chills and I could never find the words to honor the work she does for me. Thank you so much, it's phenomenal! I hope everyone enjoys! Ja ne for now! =~.^=V

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well. My appointment with my pulmonologist went very well. They were able to give me some different medicine to treat my asthma much better.

I also had an eye appointment today. My eyes have actually changed very little since my last visit, so I'm able to keep my original eyeglasses. I'll be getting my new contacts in a couple weeks. The really exciting part is that they're going to let me try a sample pair of gray colored lenses! If I like them, they'll order me a set to wear for cosplay and such. I hope they look nice on me! =^^=

Now for my newest chapter of "Like Blood to Water!" It took me almost three weeks to write this with numerous rewrites and editing. I have set up the inevitable meeting of Yunho and Yuu as well as give a little more information on Big Bang's role. (And for those of you who asked who was similiar to Hankyung, this will give a peek!) I hope everyone enjoys and ja ne for now! =~.^=V

Like Blood to Water"
By: Miracle Shining

PAIRING (Main): 2U (YunChun)
SUBPAIRING: SiHanHae, HyukSu
GROUPS: TVXQ, Super Junior, Big Bang, Actor Yuu Shirota
RATINGS: PG-13 to NC-17 (Will be notated if R or NC-17)
GENRE: Angst/Romance/Action
LEGAL JUNK: Don't own the 2U, they own each other.
SUMMARY: AU Band!verse~After a fateful letter over 500 years ago, Jung Yunho makes a very unusual pact with a stranger. Now, that choice will effect not only the future of TVXQ, but Yunho's unknown link to his bandmate, Park Yoochun.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Dedicated to march_kyo, renichifreak, volatileflame, and music_loner. This fic was inspired heavily by "The Masked Fencer," a special 2U vid done by March, as well as traditional and modernistic takes on vampiric culture.

( Chapter Fourteen )

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well this evening. It was a very busy day at my store and tomorrow will be even more busy. But in least I know that the work will get done! =^^=;;

I have a visit with my pulumnologist (lung doctor) on Wednesday to see if he can alter the treatment of my asthma. It's still not under control and hopefully this specialist will be able to guide me in the right direction! ::crosses fingers::

Saw the "offical preview" of Rain's new movie on VH1 this morning. That was really cool to see it getting some t.v. time. I managed not to drool over my shoes while watching it. ::laughs:: Also saw the new "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" preview. Jake Gyllenhall is suprisingly dashing at our handsome prince. Jerry Bruckheimer execed it and it's a Disney production. Should be pretty good from what I've seen!

Oh, want to give a little pimpage to my Bunny (shareecedesiree). She's doing NaNoWriMo this year and her story is available at her LJ. Head on over and read the adventures and escapades of her heroine Byrdie and the somewhat bizarre crew of the Trapped Sparrow.

As for my writing, I've almost finished the final developmental stage for the next "Like Blood to Water" chapter. I'm overly fascinated by how Yuu works with both Yoochun and Yunho. There will be not only trust issues but there will be ALOT of UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension) for quite some time. The three of them are gorgeous and volatile together. Bonus points, I'm hoping that I'll get that one-shot I promised March (march_kyo) done within the next couple weeks.

Other than that, Ladybird (renichifreak) was interested in learning a bit about "Yasha." For those of you who haven't had a chance to check out this Jdrama Thriller, please watch it.

The storyline focuses on a set of identical twins, Sei and Rin, who were seperated at birth. Both twins were actually biogenetically created in a labratory. Sei was sent to America where he became a brilliant scientist and Rin seems rather run of the mill. Rin seems genuinely sweet and loves his brother (a little too much) when they meet up once again.

Moichi is a blind pianist who is Sei's best friend and it is hinted that Sei has much stronger feelings for Moichi. Rin hates Moichi for garnering his twin's attention.

The storyline intertwines these complex relationships along with the main storyline, which follows Sei trying to find a cure for a very deadly disease that is claiming lives all around the world.

The suspense in this will keep you on the edge of your seat and the final episode had me almost choking in anticipation. The fight between the twins is so well done you almost forget that Ito Hideaki is actually playing both parts. There is quite a bit of tragedy in this too, so everyone is fare warned! Extra points go to the "Yasha's" theme song which is actually "Desert Rose" by Sting. (A favorite of mine.)

I think that's about it for now, minnasan. I hope everyone has a good night and ja ne! =~.^=V

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! Hopefully you all had a good All Hallow's Eve. Mine was pretty nice, we actually had trick or treaters!

I haven't had a chance to do any writing this weekend like planned. I got REALLY busy with everything. So my next chapter of "Like Blood to Water" is still in the developmental stage. Man, this thing is turning into a massive monster of a work! (If you'll excuse the pun in referenc to Yunho. XD)

Anyhoo, thought I would just share some fun Youtube videos that I found. I hope everyone enjoys and ja ne for now! =~.^=V

LIKE BLOOD TO WATER (SPECIAL FAN VIDEO):



OTHROS NO INU FAN VIDEO:



YASHA FAN VIDEO:



SILENT HILL 2 PARODY:

Konbanwa, minnasan! I thought I would just take a quick moment and post my yearly "All Hallow's Eve" greeting! Usually I have a fic to share, but this year I thought I would give everyone a drawing. Please feel free to save it and share it with others!

( No Tricks, Just Treats! )

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! I had a pretty busy day today but I'm finally getting in the real "Groove" of the Price Coordinator job. Though I admit I'll be glad when the main coordinator comes back so I can ease back to only two jobs instead of three.

Today I ended up writing this very bittersweet and mildly painful HanHae. It's odd because I listened to the songs listed and realized how much I missed a friend of mine I lost to cancer many years ago. He was my child hood sweetheart and in a way, my heart. For unknown reasons, I missed him a lot and this was the result. I hope everyone enjoys and thank you! Ja ne for now! =~.^=V

Konnichiwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in cyberland is doing well! It was a busy day for me, but I'm glad that it's rolling to an end. Mum made homemade pumpkin pie today, so I'm looking forward to eating some after dinner tonight!

I wrote a little one-shot after hearing both "Hero" by Enrique Iglesius and "Heroes" by David Bowie. It's for followurdestiny since she has been sharing some lovely HanTeuk pics with me. I hope you enjoy and ja ne for now! =~.^=V

"Hero"

RATING: G
GENRE: Friendship/Angst/Teeny bit of Romance
LEGAL JUNK: Don't own, just borrowing.
SUMMARY: Some times you can be a hero without even knowing it.

( Hero )

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well this evening! My goodness, my luck just keeps continuing. The lucky streak from yesterday has moved right on over to today!

My lovely and precious Imoutochan volatileflame sent me a care package from Hong Kong which arrived this afternoon. She gave me the new "Super Junior M" mini album CD, her personal SuJu M folder (my love for it holds no bounds! =;.;=) and a fantastic pic book of my lovely Yamapi!

Random note on the Yamapi book, Imoutochan has just chosen my path for my next "badly coordinated" boy band outfit. You are my life for that! It involves red, black, white, crushed velvet and a Bedazzler. It will be EPIC! Also, one of my other favorite pics is of Yamachan when he was in high school hanging out with one of his best buds, our one and only Yuu Shirota! (If only there was a way I could put Yamapi into "Like Blood to Water." Alas.)

More bonus points, March march_kyo has given me permission to write a one-shot of her beautiful "The King and I" image she created. Plus, she made me two new "Like Blood to Water" headers! I'm so spoiled today!

Even cooler, I have my Guro (Scary) Lolita meeting tomorrow, so I'll make sure and take lots of pictures and get them posted, ne?

Other rapid cosplay news, my other boy band outfit I think is definitely going to be G-Dragon's "white angel" outfit he wears in the "Breathe" video. I gave Bunny (shareecedesiree) permission to have wings and feathers, so I think I might join in the feathery fun. XD (Plus, I need an easy to wear outfit for my Flower Boys Remixed Panel and the Rave.)

That's it for tonight! Ja ne for now! =~.^=V

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! I can say that today was a very lucky day! You know where you have one of those days where good things just keep happening? Well, today was that day and I can't help smiling!

Why the Luck? Today at work my boss basically gave me free reign to do as I pleased and I was able to finish my job with virtually NO interruptions for once!

I went to Wal-Mart with my father and found a red turtleneck for below 5 dollars. Upon stopping in the game room, I met face to face with my nemesis, a particular crane machine that houses relatively expensive toys and jewlery.

There was an original Pullip doll still in package in said machine. In Spearfish, South Dakota. Of all the places. Today was my lucky day because today I left with said Pullip in hand! She is gorgeous! I have her sitting up right now! Curious what a Pullip is? Feel free to visit Pullip.net or Valley of the Dolls to see!

Even great bonus, check out via this Entry Link in my journal to see the AWESOME that March (march_kyo) made for me! With her permission, I hopefully will be allowed to write a one-shot fic for the second picture.

Overall, today was fantastic! Ja ne for now! =~.^=V

Konnichiwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! It was one really rough day at work. Anything that could go wrong with my computer system did. In least I managed to still get everything done by noon and I don't have to go to work until almost 6 a.m. tomorrow. Woot for small favors!

Anyhoo, I decided I must share March's (march_kyo) newest fan vid of chapter thirteen. I can not express how much I love this video and how much she captured what I was trying to convey! I hope you enjoy! Also, check out below March's video for a "Bonus Link!" I created two new CD covers for "Volume 2" of "Like Blood to Water" inspired music.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN:



( Like Blood to Water CD Covers~Volume 2 )

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well. It was a busy couple days but in least I was able to stay out of work. The next few weeks are going to be the trial since I'll be taking over for the Pricing Coordinator since she's getting surgery. But, it'll be a good learning experience.

The fantastic news is that I finished the newest chapter of "Like Blood to Water." I'm thrilled that the chapter is done and I am so pleased with how it turned out. It was two weeks of careful planning in my head and a number of rewrites, but I think it flows well. Plus, we have the return of the SiHanHae and the introduction of Yuu! Enjoy and ja ne for now! =~.^=V

( Chapter Thirteen )

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well. It was a very long day for me today, especially in reference to work. I won't get into specifics but let's just say I'll be glad when Saturday rolls around and I can get away from the building.

Basically, I tried to look at the pros and cons of the whole day. Fortunately, it seems that my pros outweighed the cons. I try to remember it could be MUCH worse.

CONS:

Situation with head book keeper at work is not going to get resolved any time soon.
Didn't get any chance to write the next chapter of "Like Blood to Water."
My virus is still hanging on making it difficult for me to sit and draw for extended periods of time.
My tooth partially broke in the back of my mouth.
I've had a migraine the whole day from it.

PROS:

Bunny shared some really exciting news with me about Sodak Con, so head over to the page and check it out!
I got to sit and watch quite a few episodes of "Lucky Star," my current fave anime.
Finished designing the Sodak mascot!
Got fed candy by my Ichigokun, which always makes for a good day.
Finished almost all of the laundry! Woot!
Enjoyed listening to a couple CDs I haven't heard for a while.
Para-para danced for a bit today.
Visited Cute Overload which always brings a smile to my face.
Did get medicine for my migraine.
I have a nice bed with clean sheets to crawl into when I'm finished here.
I've been enjoying rereading some lovely fiction from both renichifreak and volatileflame.
Been rewatching all of March's (march_kyo) beautiful fan videos, so I'm even more excited to write my next chapter when I can finally do it!
Mum let me tell her all my woes today and was there to listen.
I had a cupcake, life is good.

Domo arigato minnasan, and ja ne for now! =~.^=V

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! Just got back from going with Bunny to speak at the BHSU anime club Imaginos. They were very cordial and seem to be looking forward to SoDak Con, so I'd say the meeting was a success!

I'm still plotting out points for the next chapter of "Like Blood to Water" because how Yuu and Yoochun interact in that chapter is very vital to the story line's flow. If it's not just right, the rest won't seem to make sense. (Plus, I won't be happy with it.)

In the mean time, I stole another Meme from renichifreak. It's a Music Meme and it seemed like fun since I already had my player on Random!

You can learn a lot about someone by the music they listen to. So here is the game! Hit shuffle on your ipod or mp3 player and write down the first 25 songs. No cheating or skipping songs that are shameful. That is the fun! Then tag your friends.

( Dah Music Meme! )

Wow, looking at this list, I have a really bizarre and very open taste in music, ne? I tag shareecedesiree, merry_treat, volatileflame, and anyone else who'd like to do this!

Konnichiwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! It snowed pretty much all of last night here in Belle Fourche. It would look prettier to me if it was December and NOT the middle of October! =T.T= But who knows, maybe we'll have a nice Indian Summer and the kids can enjoy All Hallow's Eve?

Random note, Happy Late Birthday to our sweet Mochi Henry Lau! Congrats on your Accomplishments and shareecedesiree and myself will continue to support your "Hot Pockets!" XD

I stole this Meme from my Imoutochan volatileflame since I'm just killing time before I go and have lunch with my Mum. Enjoy!

( Dah New Meme )

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! I'm half frozen but warming quickly. Can you believe that it's barely over twenty degrees here and it's been snowing since last night? Only in South Dakota could it be sixty-five and sunny only a few days ago. Guess that's what makes this state so charming, ne? =^^=;;

Just feeling a bit silly and saw the cutest Youtube video dedicated to Kisses. There is nothing more fun than getting a good kiss! I highly recommend it! I tend to steal kisses from good friends of mine. (One of my guy friends is an all too willing target. Which makes it even funnier since he's always chasing after pretty boyz. XD)

So, here's a sweet and charming video dedicated to the Johnny's Entertainment Boyz doing their "Kiss" thing! (Oh, and do enjoy our very young Yamapi around the 2:07 mark, he's too cute when he was little!)

KISSES!

GOALS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS:

Write fic for the shihanaday competition. Have chosen image, have story in head, just need to stop being lazy and actually write it.

EDIT: Phew, finished that! I wrote like a mad woman possessed! XD (But I think I forgot to include the 3-4 sentences I wanted as a summary/hint! =o.O=)

Set up outline for next chapter of "Like Blood to Water." Starting to get into the trickier portion of the storyline as Yuu is going to become a heavy player.

Try and finish watching "Yasha" without bawling my eyes out. Yes, I already know how it ends and I already cried at that. But I'm weak for anything that has Ito Hideaki in it. Recommended film to see with him, "Western Sukiyaki Django." Don't worry about subtitles, all the Japanese actors speak in English. Bonus points, cameo by Quentin Tarantino.

Try and track down subtitled version of "Orthros no Inu" because I give a thumbs up to anything that has Takki as a villian.

Go through my back stock of cosplay ideas. I'm set on only making one real cosplay next year aside from sprucing up my Steampunk. Just want to take it easy this time around. Most likely one of my boyband outfits will be comprised of stuff I have in my closet.

I think that pretty much is the run down. This post was more for me to figure out what I needed to do, so feel free to jump over it and head on over to hoshi_no_uta or renichifreak and enjoy some really, really good fiction! Ja ne for now! =~.^=V

Konbanwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well. I had today off from work so I returned back to the doctor since it's been a weak since I was so sick. I'm still definitely not up to par, so they ran some blood work, took some X-rays and then looked over my overall health. I'm not too bad off but they won't have final test results until tomorrow. Right now, they're sticking with the idea that the virus is lingering in my joints. Hurts, but could be a lot worse that's for sure.

Went and had a late lunch with Bunny (shareecedesiree) today. We had a good time and it's always a blast to run around and just be silly for a little while. I scored 3 import CDs, one by Kanon Wakashima and two An Cafe's. (I'm not a huge AC fan, but I do like Mikachan, he's adorable!)

Other than that, checked up on when the next Korean Music Festival is in 2010. Of course, nothing is listed yet, but someone mentioned that TVXQ may be out for next year. If that's the case, I may actually have to splurge and head out to Cali for the event. But that's quite a bit of money for me and I'd probably have to kiss my NDK goodbye, which I'm not willing to do.

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing for a future cosplay. I have my nurse's outfit almost ready to go for our BHAFAS Guro (Grotesque/Scary) Lolita meeting. I enjoy the "hospital" theme. Plus, if I decide to do the "Weeping Nurse" from the "Silent Hill" video game, I don't have to do much other than buy a red cardigan!

I'm considering doing "Zoicite" from the live action television show of "Sailormoon." I'm a Moon Geek, I admit it. I liked his new design a lot and he's always been my favorite of the four generals. Plus, I'd get to wear silver. Lots and lots of silver! XD

I posted a link on my side bar to my lovely March's (march_kyo) Korean Blog! It's the last link at the bottom of the list. March has been working really hard at translating my work. It looks SO cool in Korean, I just can't thank her enough. It's been such an honor!

Other than that, I just thought I'd entertain everyone with some random Youtube stuff because I'm bored! I hope that it's entertaining! Ja ne for now! =~.^=V

SUPER JUNIOR: SIHAN (SIWON/HANGENG):



Still one of my all-time favorite fan videos. Amazingly well done!

LABYRINTH: JARETH/SARAH:



Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Great editing techniques too!

KAMEN RIDER KABUTO:



Just because I am a POINTLESS "Kamen Rider Kabuto" geek. XD

KITTIES!:



Because this video makes me laugh and I love kitties!

Konnichiwa, minnasan, I hope everyone out there in Cyberland is doing well! =^^= It's very cold and rainy here right now. In least my family and I got to see some of the beautiful Autumn foliage before the rain started tumbling down. Glad to be inside where it's warm for the time being!

I just had to post the newest video that March (march_kyo) made for chapter twelve. I was literally moved to tears. The mixture of images and opera singing made each highlight of the chapter that much more poignant. Her gift to put images to my words still boggles my mind! I can't thank her enough for her work!

EDIT: Has anyone watched "Orthros no Inu" yet? I saw Takki's music video from it and I know he plays the "villian" so to speak in it. (I love when Takki is all dark and a little scary, it fits his beautiful face so well!) Ryo from NewS is playing the "good" guy in it. I use that term loosely too. Seeing Takki being rather mysterious and eerie made me want to write in my Impasse/AAO!verse again! =;.;=

CHAPTER TWELVE FAN VIDEO:



And a couple more random fan videos for some of my other readers!
