My longest and last winter vacation began at the very first day this yesr, and lasted for two month. Vacation is to be relaxed. So I didn’ t blog much even in the Chinese blog.

Today I set my mind to rename the blog to “Snowyy’s Tree”. As my case, I renamed my Chinese blog for serval times in the early blogging time. It was because of the uncertain position I conceived about my blog. After a year the name finally be fixed as “Not Common Sense” - of couse I’ m telling you an English-translated name, the original is three Chinese characters.

As my English blog here, I have thought to name it just as the English-translated version of the Chinese blog, and I did do that. But it seemed that my English was and is and will be not quite qualified to write a deep subject like that…Orz…

So it is all right for this blog just act as BRANCHES, or TREE…

A BBS needs “watering”, so as a blog, also so as a TREE…?! And more to a foreign language blogger. ( Are you makeing a lazy excuse? Hahaha…)

September was my Chinese month. I read several books, read aicient poems and restarted practicing callingraphy…

October was my English month. I transcribed a lot pages of English, and restarted blogging in English here…

November will be my Japanese month. I will have the JLPT-1 exam in 6 December. And I am learning driving in the whole day time - so I do Japanese test questions while waiting for my turn to drive.

I practice to draw my feelings these days. At that moment I felt quite eager to draw. And then came the following pictures. It took me an hour, from 1pm to 2pm.

It is said that you can read a person through his/her painting. Luckily the photo didn’t catch many details.

At about 2:30pm, a sms came from her, saying she did care the “I don’t care”, might be “I don’t mind” was more at the point of what I meant.

OH my Buddha! What a disgrace!… I did know the phrase, how could I rarely sent English but sending an improper one?!

Or, did it give away my true feelings? Did I use the proper one unconsciously?

She said she did care my “I don’t care”. That made me happy, and also made my unhappiness during the 1 hour seemed getting into a fuss about nothing!

But my feelings have been recorded in the form of paintings by my (left) hand. I took advantage of  my feelings even it was a negative one. Or was I taking advantage of the whole thing, which truned out to be not the case as I thought, to inspire myself?

Is that why I feel a little sorry facing these pictures?

Well, come to the most improtant scene first!

Ushio thinks it needs practice to have a perfect first kiss. She volunteers to help Sumika practice, with a amusing superman mask wore so that it won’t be her first kiss…

I couldn’t help but laugh watching this scene…

Wow, how beautiful! And the manga version is as follow:

It is more blue in manga. And the anime didn’t show Sumika’ s OS at this scene:

I came to see it even in my dreams.

My (pesudo) first kiss with the girl I loved.

The cold taste of plastic…

But it showed Sumika’ s quivering. Poor Sumika, how heartbroken you were!

Ushio prefers to practice kissing with the skeleton rather than Sumika, because Sumika is too tall to her to get in the mood…

The two meet in the sunset classroom. The expression change on Sumika’ s face from thinking her feeling have been noticed to soon realizing it is not the case is adding some sweat, so cute!!

And the manga is more exaggerating.

The anime originated some good-job scene too. Notice the lipstick? I wonder is it necessary to wear lipstick to kiss? Nevertheless, that made the two did kiss, indirectly though! HAHA!

It was my friend Mekong’ s birthday.

I passed the theory test of the driving licence, with 96 points!

I tried to draw the view I saw on the road to the theory-testing-place, failed. But it came out to be with a not bad color matching…

I also drawed Sumika! The original picture in manga is as follow:

I drawed four pictures yesterday, showing two here. I am more than happy to see the improvement of my left-hand-drawing! ( I am right handed, but I love training my left hand.)

The photos look not good Orz. I don’t want to wait for the sunshine tomorrow, not do I want to pay for having them scaned.

Finally, it is unrelated among the three matters mentioned above.

The foot in this photo is of course mine. Did I seem like be in danger? HAHA!! I was aiming at this impact when I took this photo! In fact, if you have been to Mount Hua and walked through the Plankwalk, you may see I was quite safe since there’s a ground behind that.

Though the photo looks kind of deceptive, I did walked through the Plankwalk. And I showed photos in my Chinese travel note. Just tran-paste two on Plankwalk here…

A srceen shot from Kimi ni Todoke ep2. After the seat changing, the main characters get to sit close. And once again I find that heros and heroines usually sit by window. Does it prevent the trouble drawing some passerbys?

Speaking of passerbys, I saw a very silly-look passerby in Sasameki Koto ep2… You see her?

Sakura loves the female Natsuru and confesses to “her” directly. But Shizuka tells Sakura that Natsuru is going out with the male Natsuru. And…

Natsuru changes back from Kampfer to the guy side. He is seen with Akane on top of him by Sakuru. Sakura thinks he cheats on the female Natsuru. So she challenges to him!

What a yuri-filled episode! Natsuru you’d better stay at the female form forever…

Well, this episode reminded me of a mini talk scene which I imagined before - a beautiful girl comes to see her male friend, who is with his girlfriend. After some chats, the beautiful girl whispers to the girlfriend, “Don’t worry. I won’t be your rival, but his… “

It seems like the author Ikeda-san changed the story setting after chapter 1. It becomes quite funny. So watching episode 2 made me feel - is it a bit too blue?

Here goes some comparisons…

The scene Sumika is reading pictures of cute girls in a magazine, which are her crush - Ushio’ s type. Sumika’s expression in anime looks a bit sad, while in manga she sighs, with a quite kawaii expression, maybe just have no confident to be so cute like that girls.

The scene Sumika is imagining her 175cm-height body in cute dress. Chibi Sumika is cute in both anime and manga! And it also obviously shows that the hue in anime is a bit too gray. Since the original manga is a comical yuri series, isn’t it using bright colors more fitting?

Here comes the climax. Ushio says lots of Sumika’ s goodness, which makes Sumika detemines to confess to her. The moment Sumika is opening her mouth, Ushio says “although you’re not my type”… Why is the anime not showing us Sumika’ s action of sending flowers? Nor is Sumika’ s face showed.

The anime also omits Sumika’ s tender eyes seeing Ushio falls down. It is the eyes show that though Sumika is rejected, she will help Ushio find her love - so she chases the Reader Model…

Though it is a blue scene, the manga makes it funny by showing Sumika’ s running posture and expression. But the anime omits the latter.

Here is another different expression. The anime version is a bit onee, while the manga version is quite amusing. Personally I prefer the latter one.

Last but not least, how are the flowers? In manga Sumika keeps hiding them and drops them after being rejected, while in anime, the flowers are seen and threw to Ushio, but she just doesn’t say or ask anything about this?!

Wait, red mushroom?! Isn’t that colorful mushroom are poisonous?

That was what I noticed in one English lesson. After the lesson I search about poisonous mushroom. I found a sample picture in one Encyclopædia, the mushroom it showed was just the same as the ppt one.- -|||
