A Plant In Japan Actually Blogs! Amazing Facts!

I found something pretty interesting in the newspaper today. It's a blog, and the writer is suprisingly a plant named Midori. And Midori-san is an plotted plant placed on a cafe counter in Kamakura, Tokyo. In Japanese, midori means green. The plant is a hoya kerrii and also known as the sweetheart plant due to it leaf shape. Well, me, myself don't know what is this hoya kerrii plant. But the name sounds so kawaii. Well, the blog is fully written in Japanese. I have my hard time reading it too.

Here's the blog. (it's written in Japanese, I don't even know how to read it)

Here some of the blog post I took from Eastern Times, October 22 :

"Today was a sunny day and I was able to sunbathe a lot...I had quite a bit of fun today", Midori-san, whose name means "green" in Japanese posted on Oct 16.

And the latest entry reads: "It was cloudy today. It was a cold day".

Wow, the technology is so amazing now. They can even know what plants says. There were sensors on the plant that allows data to be sent to computers. So from that, it can easily translate it into words that we understand. It would also be good if they can do it with the hamster. :)

I owned a pet hamster named Chi-Chi.

ShabuKun Japanese Restaurant

It's been a while since I had my Japanese cuisine at Sakae Sushi in Penang.There's one Japanese restaurant at my hometown called ShabuKun Japanese Steamboat restaurant. I went there with my sis and mom. I had my beef rice. It tastes great. The baby octopus tastes a bit weird for me and the chuka wakame is still acceptable.They even selling edamame there but I haven't try it yet. I got some pics here.

This is the chuka wakame:)

Hiro Mashima Fairy Tail MangaKa

Hiro Mashima.

Who is this guy? Well, he is the manga-ka 漫画家　for Fairy Tail comic which is one of my favourites. He's been invited by DEL REY MANGA as a guest honour at San Diego recently. And he done a live demonstration of his drawing technique here.

DEL REL MANGA is a good site to keep updated with the world of manga. I love reading comics because they are a lot of fun and exciting to read. When an episode ends I just can't wait for another book again. It's more likely like watching drama but the different is just how the expression the artist put on the character.

I started to read Dragon Ball and read it till it ends. So sad they were no Dragon Ball stories anymore. Me and my siblings would share to buy the comic book. So, it loops around. That's how determined we are to read Dragon Ball. Here's his interview.
