Sorry for the lack of updates during December. I was actually aiming to have posted much more reviews this month but it looks like I failed D:

Oh well, 2009 has been a great year for reviewing, and I really hope that 2010 would be even better. It’s all thanks to all of your support that had kept me reviewing more and more releases! I hope that my blog would become bigger over the next year and another thank you for visiting this blog. May you also have a great 2010!

This has been one hell of a months so far!!!!! No reviews for now for a number of reasons. Well, here comes a decently long post!

Now for the update on NaNoWriMo: I have decided to leave it off for next year. The reason for this sudden decision was because there were already so many things on my plate. Ever since I started my novel project, my grades had been slipping and I’ve been neglecting my chores and hobbies like blogging, drawing and ballet. I’ve also have so many events popping up all November so I thought that this year was probably not the best time to write a novel. (Although I had this really really really really awesome idea coming in my head!!!!) Looks like I’ve gotta to wait until next year, right?

I do this every year but even so, it takes so much time! I have a ballet recital during all of Thanksgiving week but there has been so many rehersals coming up and causing me to cram with all of my physical strength. (Like nine hours worth of dancing every week.) There’s one more week left!!!

I’m also participating in the school’s holiday faire. (You know, when you have to make so many products and then sell them at the event. Pretty much like being a vendor except that it’s for your school) I’m seling knitted scarves and jewelry which takes a really long time to make. It takes a day to make one complete braclet and a week to knit a thick and long scarf. I least I’ve been starting this project during the Summertime but there’s still a lot to finish up. The faire is during the second week of December but there will be a ton of things taken off of my to do list after Thanksgiving so expect some updates and reviews by the end of November.

Finally, here’s the number one reason why people don’t go online so often: schoolwork and studying. Since my school’s been having so many minimum days and breaks during the month, our teachers tend to assign an incrediblily ridiculous amount of homework and exams all the time! I’ve been losing track of time and forgetting things here and there. And now there’s finals in about a month so as of this week its study, study, study!

Thank you guys for being so patient for the last few weeks that I haven’t been updating and I really appreciate your support! Please expect a review by the end of the month!

I also forgot to mention that the updates will be slowing down be cause of Nanowrimo. (National Novel writing month.) I’m not sure whether to define this “slower pace of things” as a hiatus though. (since I’ll still be around.)

These past few weeks have been hectic! There are so many tests to study for, rehersals to attend and club events to participate in! I know I usually write and post tons of reviews during a month’s time but for now, I’ll write a few a week. I’m thinking it would probably be like this until a week after Thanksgiving. (Since the dance recital is during Thanksgiving week.)

Thank you for visiting the blog once in a while and I will continue crossing off the to-do lists….slowly…

Here’s a few things that I’ve been considering and I need your answers! Please answer honestly and I’ll make sure to consider your replies! Thanks!

Should the blog move off of wordpress?
Should the index page be rennovated?
Any new artists you want to see?

New reviews will appear underneath this post!

Sorry for so many filler posts lately but here’s something I would want to post about <3

Here’s the big plus! I’m getting really close to finishing a few artists for the month!

Ami Suzuki
Angela Aki
Erina Mano
Leah Dizon
Utada Hikaru

Now, that’s a whopping total of five artists in one month! Can’t wait to finish them up!

I’m not sure if this will work but I found a new way for me to update! I’ll try to dedicate one day of reviewing to one specific artists. For example, Ami Suzuki is the first uncompleted artist on my list so on the next time I update, I will only review Ami Suzuki. Since Angela Aki is on the second on my list, she will be the artist to review on the second day I update. See? Makes sense huh? I’m trying to find ways to get featured artists to reach 100% of review completion in four months.

I’m also trying a new way to review albums. I think I already mentioned this in one of my Ayu reviews. For the most part, it takes sooooooooooooooooo long to write a review for each track. (Yes, my hands hurt sooooo bad.) Lex from Beyond the Sea seems to have the short album reviews work for her, so I try it too

Sorry, no updates this week! I can’t promise that I’ll update next week either but at least expect a few more updates throughout the month. BUT I definitely will not put the blog on hiatus because there’s still a slight possibility that I still might have time to review something.

I’ve been posting so many filler posts lately…Sorry!
