I don’t know if staying in Powerbooks is a good or a bad thing. It’s good with all the book treasures you can find in there but hell it takes a lot out of your wallet though. I left the store yesterday with my face probably looking like this T______________________T .
But no, I can’t complain afterwards with the book I bought. Japanese students are thought Kanji by continously making them write the characters until it is embedded in their head. But for non-Japanese students like me, this could be boring and tedious.
With this book, one view contemporary visuals along with textual memory aids - mnemonics - to easily remember them. This book also holds the titles as the Winner of the International Typographic Design Award and HOW International Design Award.
And truth be told, I tried memorizing the characters last night, and the pictures sure worked!

I am so loving this book. I scanned a page below so you could how the interior looked like. For Kanji students like me, this book is a MUST!
The word is out! Hana Yori Dango 2 is having its second season sometime in January next year! The show will feature the same lovable cast and most probably provide us a closure to the love story of Makino and Domyuji… at last! XD
Don’t get me wrong, the ending of the first season was dramatic for me but everybody needs some kind of closure right!? XD HAHA
I can’t wait for this next season. I just hope it won’t be as *ehem* crappy (sorry for the term) as season 2 of Meteor Garden. No offense Meteor Garden fans, but I think the 2nd season destroyed a bit of the magic from its first season.
Here is a promotional video of the upcoming second season. Sorry it has no subtitle. *hides*
What is Pocky? It’s an unsalted pretzel/biscuit stick covered with chocolate. Simple, crunchy, sweet and smooth.
It’s really a simple candy, or perhaps it’s a snack. I don’t care what you call it, it’s good. The pretzel base is crunchy and actually rather bland with has a wonderful consistent crisp to it that stands up to the chocolate. The chocolate is smooth and sweet with a hint of dry bitterness. Unlike the regular Pocky that I tried, this one has far less trans fatty acids (.5 grams for half the box). Of course there’s also 5 grams of protein in each serving.
The snack is a pretty good value as imported candy goes - it’s a 100 gram box and I picked it up at regular price at Mitsuwa for $1.59. In fact, I found it hard to eat a full serving of it. The box has two pouches in it and the box protects the long sticks from getting broken. In fact, this is my fourth box of Pocky and I’ve never had a broken one. ~ Candyblog
What brought about this hype? An officemate and I had another one of those youtube marathons over lunch break to pass the time. She was looking over videos of her fave japanese actors, when a Pocky commercial really had us almost falling from our seats laughing! XD Thus started the viewing of all Pocky commercials we could grab and I tell you, most of then are downright hilarious!
These commercials are a perfect example of out-of-the-box types with complete product recall in jive with the product’s musical score of “Anata mo watashi mo pocky!” (You and Me and Pocky!)
You have to watch these commercials I swear! And you’ll get what I mean.
Check out some of the products below. If you want to view most of Pocky’s flavored collection, click here!!!
