Kimi To Boku 13: [Final] Impressions and S.2

What?  No - It can't be over.

Luckily, The Akiba announced and confirmed about a second season ~ phew.  Check out the PV HERE.

I had a feeling the anime had another season in it.  The cute boys still have to finish High School and let's not forget, Chizuru still hasn't declared to Mary that he loves her with the burning white hot intensity of a thousand suns!

I wasn't expecting Kimi To Boku to have a good ending.  Most of these slice of life series never do. Like Haganai, these anime don't have much of a plot to be solved.  The final episode took place in their former elementary school. Shun was looking for a job in order to complete his "workplace experience list."  I suppose it's similar to what HS kids do here in the U.S. with their government hours.  As a result, they all got a job as Kaori-sensei's assistants - their former kindergarten teacher.

Things were looking well for the twins and they gained crazy fan girls.  I am so jealous of that little girl clinging to Yuki!  No, you are not his wife >.<  I liked that they brought up a little from Kaname's past.  You know, that cute episode where he was being a little brat to that really handsome T.A. (teacher's assistant) because he didn't know how to handle his jealously towards him.  Kaname sure loved his pre-school teacher.  But did he love her more than the burning white hot intensity of a thousand suns?  I don't think so.  And it wasn't until the T.A. showed him kindness, that Kaname realized he wanted to grow up to be someone like him.  Okay, so maybe there WAS something solved here.  Kaname got to be the man he wanted to be.  He showed that little kid, who he was having a hard time with, someone to look up to.  

Heck, he gained a brother!

Aw, and he gave him a nickname too.  How cute.

Still, knowing that there is a second season to come, it is really sad to part from them D':  Yes, those cats. XD

Oh, just look at that cat.  His face is telling you everything.  Foreshadowing?

MORE SCREENCAPS:

Yuta . . . you have an excellent sense of fashion! XD

Oh Shun ;)  I wonder what kind of cartoons YOU'VE been watching . . .

You sure got a lot more action than usual . . eh Kaname-kun? ;)

I'm pretty sure Shun-chan here was mistaken for a girl . . . ROFL.

They don't need your nonsense Chizu-chan, but Cely_belly will gladly accept it :)

SIDE NOTES:

• Everytime I think of Kaname here, I think of Kaname from Bleach . . and his Resurreción. -_- 
• What's with the cats?!  >.<
• Didn't you think it was weird how much Shun resembles Shun . . from Saint Seiya?
• I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of that bratty kid.
• Where's Mary?  
• Support the "Mary gets away with two lovers" fund.
• What was your favorite anime this season?  BTW this was my favorite.

Short Medium Long hairstyles 2012

With just a simple change to cut and color, you can have a whole new look that can be trendy, fashionable and modern. To get a hairstyle that you will love, you will want to know what options you have. The best thing to do would be to consider the popular hairstyles of 2012. You just might find a style that you will love. Here are some options that you could consider.

The Short Haircuts 2012

Right now, popular hairstyles of 2012 trend largely toward short styles. This is most likely because so many celebrities are choosing these short styles. We all know that celebrities are certainly the trendsetters when it comes to style! The short looks that are popular hairstyles of 2012 include everything from a dramatic extremely short pixie cut to a more classic layered bob.

Some of the popular styles to consider would be to take your cue from celebs like Keira Knightly and Emma Watson who are sporting a super short pixie cut. If you want something a little longer, consider the choppy layers that celebs like Kristin Cavallari are choosing.

The Medium length hair styles 2012

If you prefer something a little longer, then there are plenty of popular hairstyles in 2012 of medium length. For something modern, consider a shoulder sweeping bob. If the hair is cut in choppy ends, the look can be quite modern. Shoulder length curls are also popular for the coming year. If you choose a medium length style, make sure you use the right products to keep it modern and sophisticated. Pomades can be quite handy in creating straight, choppy looks. A volumizing spray can be useful to add height.

The Long hairstyles 2012

Some of the most popular hairstyles of 2012 are also quite long. Again, this would have to do with celebrity looks. Many celebrities like Blake Lively and Jennifer Lopez are making these styles trendy. To keep the long strands from looking boring, the trend now is to include lots of texture. Beachy waves are especially popular and can be achieved through a texturizing spray that includes sugar or sea salt.

For a more defined long look, new hairstyles of 2012 also include sleek, choppy layers and sideswept bangs. To get the smooth, sleek look, you will need to make use of a quality flat iron and a straightening spray. Be careful that the hair does not get flat since popular styles now include plenty of body at the roots.

Latest trends for winter hairstyles includes bangs, layers, retros and bobs:

Fringe bangs will sharpen up any short cut add shine to a pin straight finish you can wear your fringe over one eye with a slight part on the opposite side and use a comb to smooth out the hair with a flat iron for a sleek look.

Bangs can be cut in various exciting new ways from ultra full, angled, curvy or cropped,

whatever your hair type from thin and fine, to curly and thick to straight and medium you can achieve a sexy look with rounded bangs or lash length tresses.

You can have a soft feminine tousled look for many head turning beach waves, retro waves or coils to flirty crowns that leave your hair longer on the top and tapered near the nape of the neck and ears.


Retro crop with a hollywood glam look can be achieved with classic curls, edgy waves or baby fine flair in a variety of haircolors from auburn to chocolate browns to fiery reds or platinum blondes.

Mid-length locks allow for a bold statement since big hair is what is in right now of full bodied curls for volume,

for straight face framing layers to a classic chic chin length blunt cut my favorite would be the asymmetric design because of its strong jagged layers and heavy bangs create a shape of drama and fashion style.

Don't forget to add your clip on accessories for vintage glam.

Adding body to the hair with a curling iron or flat iron is a way to get a dramatic effect. If you choose to dye your hair a bold color like blue or pink it will look cute to add hair extensions for length or volume.

Men HairStyle Tips 2012 - How To Spike Curly Hair For Men

Men HairStyle Tips 2012 - How To Spike Curly Hair For Men.

The spiked style of hair has increased in popularity as a favored hairstyle for men. This option is considered convenient in terms of maintenance among those with naturally straight strands but can be difficult to obtain for individuals with curlier locks. The following tips can provide a guide on how to spike curly hair and maintain this trendy look.

The process for a sleeker appeal begins with washing your tresses. Be sure to use shampoo and conditioner that are specifically designed for wavier strands in order to provide extra protection against drying out and styling damage. It is best advised to include lightweight products for improved manageability and flexibility where cleaner strands are also easier to style.

Products which do not contain creamy contents will give curlier tresses a lighter feel and provide straighter strands which will be easier to transform into spikes. Once you have completed the process of shampooing and conditioning, rinse and simply pat dry with a towel. Do not completely dry your locks at this point but keep the strands fairly moist for improved manageability.

Use a wide toothed comb or larger hairbrush to untangle the strands and remove any frizz from developing. Narrow toothed combs should not be used in thicker, wavier hair as it simply causes damage to the locks. Remember to only untangle longer tresses when you have added moisture to it as attempting to comb through thick and dry locks could prove to be difficult and cause considerable breakage.

While the strands are still moist apply a fair amount of gel or wax that is designed for thick and curlier tresses. Depending on the appearance you desire, remember that gel will give your locks a wet look whereas wax will provide a matte appearance. Only use very small amounts of product on the strands as too much gel or wax will contribute to a rigid appearance.

Ensure even coverage of product through your locks as this will further contribute to a more natural appeal even providing the hair with some body and movement. The spiking process can occur once the gel or wax has been distributed evenly and involves using your fingers to create smaller spikes. One may also use a wide toothed comb to brush the strands in an upward motion for short spikes which will also appear more natural.

If larger spiking options are desired, simply place a small strand in between the fingers and proceed to twirl each piece into the determined shape. One can also limit the number of spikes on the head by placing a fair amount in the front and leaving the lengthier back area smooth. The length and number of spikes that an individual desires is completely dependent on personal preference and style.

Once you have obtained the desired look, to remove excess moisture go over the tresses with a blow dryer. Be sure to adjust the hairdryer settings to a low heat and blowing option to allow the style to settle and then add a spray in order to keep the locks in place. The process of how to spike curly hair is simple for obtaining a trendy hairstyle for men.

In Search Of The Most Profitable Internet Business Model

Well 2012 is right around the corner and I wanted to share some ideas about making your enterprise the most profitable interenet business it possibly can be this year, because that's what I want to do too. I've been looking over my online business the last few months and assesing what parts of it still inspire and motivate me. I'd like to cull out the parts of my Internet business that I don't enjoy anymore, I plan on doing that by either eliminating them or out sourcing them in 2012.

I've just recently sat in on a profitability training given by THE best online business guru with regards to creating a viable, sustainable and meaningful business. It touched on creating or business that was focused on your core entrepreneurial strengths or tweaking the business you currently have to better be reflective of your core strenght. Working from your core strengths is probably the best way create the most profitable business you can in 2012.

Most Profitable Business Owners Get Off Track at Some Point

Tactics, methods, and strategies seem to change every year or even month in some cases but when you know your core strengths it doesn't matter how your doing what your doing. I suggest taking some time to reflect on why you started you business in the first place, and if you are in a better place now. Most profitable entrepreneurs take time to assess even though it can be a fast paced world we live in, it is a constant necessity to take note of where your at. Here are the red flags for me when I'm getting off track:

1. I'm frustrated and don't feel up to meeting the demands of the day.
2. I dread getting to work.
3. I have more than 3 projects going on and none are progressing as the should.
4. I'm doing more work in my business than in it.
5. I'm not taking time to relax and enjoy the life I used to dream of having.

Sounds depressing doesn't it? Before you look at how you can make your Internet business the most profitable you can be it pays to broaden you view of what profitability really means. I like to define profit as: What My Business Gives Me. The first couple small businesses I owned were not created with a goal in mind, not much intent of a specific outcome. I just wanted to make money. That is a common goal for a young entrepreneur, yet it really isn't a goal at all, is it.

"More" is not a Goal, it's a recipe for unfullfilled frustration.

More can never be achieved because there is always more.... on and on the dilema goes. The most important key to determining the most profitable businesss to start in the first place is one that can fullfill a clear and compelling goal.

How I Defined My Most Profitable Business

After reaching the end of my rope with a commercial construction company I started in my early twenties I started taking goals seriously. That was the business that taught me (experiencially) that more was not a goal. I sat down at my desk one winter and started writing. I wrote what I hated about my business, what I loved about, the sacrifices I resented making, the cool things I was able to do because I owned, the stress and how it had impacted my life, all that I had given up, and all that I had gained at that point in time.

I had a lot of help with a commercial construction company I started when I was 21, but I got most of it 1,300 miles away when I was in Florida over the winters.  People in my area were not real excited about sharing with me how to be successful, because I'd be their competition.  Online it's been a lot different. For example, HERE is one of the "every thing included" tutorials that helped me a ton online. To be more profitable and to validate/confirm the methods I was correct on and show me what was wrong.

It was a sobering experience and it was the "event" that led me to starting an online business. Somewhere along the way it was clear I had gotten lost and this period of time became a time to redefine what a successful business was to me. It equipped me to seek out the best business opportunities to evaluate in the future and it was the time that I defined profitability for myself.

For me a profitable business had to:

Create the reality that who I was provided for me at every level. I wanted a business that caused me to feel fullfilled, useful,challenged and yet well equiped at the same time. I wanted my business to comprised of multiple project I could work hard to build on the front end yet would continue to earn passively for years to come. I wanted to have complete control over my time and Income. I wanted a business that I could use to create a $10,000 dollar per month income passively. Some of the most exiting ideas about this profitable business were:

1. I would be available or opportunities that might arise along the way.
2. I would have enough money I would never have to feel obligated to take advantage of an opportunity that didn't suit me.
3. I wanted the business to be a business that would scale.
4. I wanted a business that I could sell.

You Want Some Help Building a Profitable Internet Business?

When I created this list years ago I had no idea if these things were even possible, but I've since met people who have developed businesses exactly like the one I had in mind. If they could do it so could I right? So can you. If you want to Greatly reduce your learning curve and start the right way, I recommend taking a Look at this Tutorial and watch the Video.  Personally I think the page is a little cheezy but if you use this as a guide you'll be miles ahead of 95% of the people trying to earn a full time income from home. Remember, it isn't what you know it's what you DO with it. This program will set you up on the right path.

Most Profitable Internet Business To Start

Over the last 5 years or so I've come to the point were I feel I've found the most profitable business model that can be used on the Internet today. It combines most of the most common methods you've likely heard of and I've been learning those methods. While I don't consider myself a guru at any of them I continue to improve and and become effectively efficient at each one. For me it is now a matter of putting it all together and launching it to the public as a group of products. Here are some of the elements of the most profitable Internet business model in 2012:

• Product Creation (Create My Own Products).
• Membership Website.
• Blog with an active readership.
• Solid Advertiser Base.
• Low-Cost consulting or service offering
• Affiliate marketing (strategic)
• Timeless content and offering ( the business needs to evolve)

I've done all of these to some extent or another and I've convinced that I wont have the profitable business that I desire until I can put them together a compelling way that meets a need of the marketplace. AND I have to get in right in terms of operating from my strengths.

Do You Own a Profitable Business?

Are you an entrepreneur with one or more profitable businesses? I'm not just talking about revenue-expenses= Profit either. Are you currently managing a magical business that gives you a solid return for the committment you gave it? Would you consider sharing in the comments?

If you have a story that relates to this article and would like to share more about it feel free to email me and I'll update the post with any valuable insight you could offer with regards to creating a profitable online (or offline) business.

Thank You.

Currently Watching, so far . . . Happy Holidays!

I'm back fellow bloggers!  Happy Holidays!  Sorry for being dead these last few weeks. At least, it feels that way.  Usually I'd post about every other week or so, but school caught up to me this time. Now I know what it is that delays other bloggers from posting, jeez. HIATUS HIATUS!! Thank goodness school is over(for now) and winter break has begun!

To start things off . . I'd like to wish you all a Happy Holidays, since I probably won't be posting anytime soon once x-mas time starts.  Have you all had fun x-mas shopping?  Do you celebrate Hanukkah? Kwanzaa?  If so, Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa!  May you all have a great anime filled season!

A little more of THIS . . .

A little less of THIS . . .

AND A LOT MORE OF THIS! ^0

Okay, maybe not much of that.  It's probably not a good idea to get too Haruhi wild on that day. Let's not over do it with the eggnog people.  So, in honor of the holidays . . . I will now summarize my overall thoughts so far on the anime I am currently watching this season . . . using only winter related images ~whaa!? :O

BLEACH

As far as Bleach goes, it is probably best to just hold off on the anime for a bit and pick up the manga. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying to give up on the series for good.  It is a great series, but since I am so used to watching them continuously with no long week interruptions, I can simply rid myself of the suspense by reading the manga and find out what happens next.  Since the series has been going on for so long, it will probably keep going for a long while.  But other than that, this season of Bleach has evolved quite a bit.  The artwork and character designs look much nicer. From what I hear, the production has been putting more money into the art and the series has finally returned to more manga material.  It all seems to start anew . . . new characters, new plot, new OP! but still, no Rukia :(

BOKU WA TOMODACHI GA SUKUNAI

With one episode left to go this season, the neighbors club have unknowingly become friends. They do friend-like activities any normal group of friends would do.  Except for their mere lack of knowledge in certain situations. Like not knowing how to use a cellphone ~LOL.  Of course, being "friend free" for most of their lives, I understand why they wouldn't know - having no friends and all.  But other than their over exaggerated personalities ehem . . (Yozora) . . the comedy still packs a good laugh.  And a lot of fanservice. -_-  Not really my taste, but it's not intolerable either.  I am just dying curious to know what happens with Yozora and Kodaka!

GUILTY CROWN

We're almost half way through this season and it just started to get good.  Finally.  So getting past all these character complaints about Shu and his incompetence as the hero and protagonist of the story, I personally don't pay much attention to these characteristics so many people over analyze. Neither his, or any other characters' personality bothers me.  This is one anime I haven't been over analyzing at all, really. I became bored with it a few episodes back and didn't give it much interest anymore.  I just settled with watching it every Thursday, but this last episode caught my interest once again.  The series is beginning to unfold.  We find out who Shuuichirou and his Anti-bodies really are and discover more about that girl from Shu's "blast from the past", who looks strangely familiar to Inori and is somehow affiliated with Gai as well.  The plot has taken a turn for the worst without Shu there.  Gai's illness spreading, and with Inori and Undertaker on the brink of disaster, someway, somehow . . . I guess Shu will have to get over his trauma and come to the rescue once again.

KIMI TO BOKU

I love Kimi To Boku!  I think this is my favorite anime of the season.  It turned out to be a very heartwarming story, filled with comedy and meaning.  I love how each and every character influences one another, making their bonds stronger. They each make up a piece of a puzzle to their "gang".  That's the reason I like it so much.  It reminds me of the friendship I currently have with my friends.  We all play a certain part, a certain role and balance each other out, kind of like how Kaname's serious attitude balances out Chizuru's, well, not so serious personality. "You and Me" really is, a very unique anime.  It emphasizes the importance of friendship and all those little things that make life a bit sweeter.  I just hope Mary comes to her senses and responds to Chizuru's heart in the final episode.

SEKAI-ICHI HATSUKOI,

Now, I know most of you guys don't watch Yaoi, unless you're gay yourself and it is most likely that you girls do. I don't know why, but that's how it is sometimes.  Being a Yaoi fan girl, I really don't mind the lovey dovey moments. You can even say that this anime has me on the brink of becoming Yaoi crazy.  I really enjoy how Sekai-Ichi portrays each characters' personality and relationships. There is always an "opposites attract" aspect to their relationships for some reason.  Along with their insecurities, which seem to be the main cause to most of their problems, it gives the story a more real feeling to it, making the series easier to relate to.  There is just one episode left to go and it looks like it will have a similar ending to the Junjou Romantica series. Onodera's engagement will most likely pop up again and Takano will end up confronting Onodera's rich folks and make it clear about their love. OR vice versa.  I will miss this heartwarming romance that somehow always manages to pull at my heartstrings.  

Well, that's it for today!  Happy Holidays~

Profitable Ideas to Choose the Best Online Businesses to Open

If you've spent any time at all researching online businesses to start you've seen some pretty crazy ads, websites, and promises. So have I. The best online business, or at least the search for it, is the goal of hundreds of thousands of people every month. Over the years I've tried many different online businesses and business models and I've built an business that works for me.

I have a popular website that focuses exclusively on finding the best online business ideas and when you can't find one we share ideas on how to build you own.

Before You Open an Online Business

Before you go out an open your online business it would be worthwhile to establish some personal goals you have for your business. Most profitable business owners aren't completely or solely satisfied with the income there business generates. A high paying job can deliver income, and a good one too. Chances are, if you are looking for the best online business, you want more than just income. Working from home is nice but it wears off over time and it isn't a good fit for everyone. It's important to figure out what you want your business to do for you before you go researching the business opportunities.


Here are some of the things I've learned (mostly in hindsight) I want my online business to do for me. These ideas should help you discern what the best online business to start is for you. Again I learned these things the hard way, through my own experience. I've invested a lot of time and energy online and maybe you can save some time by following the guidelines.

When I first went looking for the best online business to start I was met with those websites and Informational products that promised it was easy to make a lot of money online, it isn't. If your serious about creating a profitable online business then know that you will need to put forth some extreme effort. I don't think it is easier to open an online business, but I do think you can drastically limit your risk.

Originally I started a "Business Opportunity" which was a direct sales business model and had several network marketing elements to it. It was termed a "top tier" business opportunity which basically meant it was one of the most profitable businesses you could start online. The products cost a lot of money and there was a good margin in the products too, which made it a lucrative business model. At the end of the day it was a sales job more than anything and it just wasn't what I was looking for.

By starting that business opportunity I got a lot closer to figuring out what I really wanted in an online business. Here was my online business dream list:

Complete control over my time.
Ability to earn passive income by doing the work once.
Be able to work from anywhere.
Not have to spend time on the phone.
I did not want to sell anything.
I didn't want to have to deal with people.
I wanted a business that became an asset.
I wanted a business I could sell.
I wanted to enjoy what I was doing.

These ideas are not crazy, I didn't even have a huge income goal. I remember wanting to earn $4,000 dollars per month passively. I figured I could cover living expenses on that and other opportunities would come up over time, and they have.

Over time I've built a great business online that has many different areas I could expand on. My online business is completely non-service based but I'm thinking about adding some services. I've also never created my own product, but I think I will. There are many open online business models that let you make your own creative mark on the web.

Essentially every online business that makes money does one of three things or a combination. You make money by selling your own products. You make money selling someone Else's products. Or you make money helping someone else do one of the first two. It's that simple. Find a way to do that well and you have yourself an online business.

Winter '11-12 Anime ~ My Top Five, Specials, Etc.

It's that time of year again!!  Time to dwell in the winter season and prepare for the new up and coming anime series!!

Visual Guide and Anime Listing - via moetron.

How exciting!  I've been waiting for the new batch of anime to arrive.  But as exciting as it may be, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by so many series. -_-  Slow down on them deliveries will you? So I narrowed my picks down to five. ^-^

Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!

Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!  Is a slapstick comedy - hold it!  SLAPSTICK?!  I gotta see this!  The word slapstick reminds me of Ika Musume and you just gotta love that squid girl!  I just hope it slaps me with enough exaggerated comedy to make me ROFL!!

Kill Me Baby

Kill Me Baby has a strangely familiar character design.  It reminds me of Lucky Star . . . hmm. Which got me thinking it could be as good too.  If not, i'll settle for the awesome weaponry.  It looks like she's about to go Kill Bill on yo a**!  I wonder if they wield huge guns . . . 

PV: Here

Inu x Boku SS

Gotta have some romance this winter!  This series looks intense, so I doubt it'll be very innocent. Be forewarned. I have a feeling it will have a Yaoi level of intimacy, not sure.  Whether it will or not is something I am bound to find out. And for those of you who've never seen Yaoi - it's pretty intense!

Scary stuff *gulp.*  I haven't watched mystery in a while or do I dare say it . . . horror!  But, I wouldn't mind getting creeped out every now and then this upcoming season.  Maybe that will keep my mind off the weather.

and Black Rock Shooter

Since the time I watched the OVA, this anime has been on my mind.  The flaming blue eye, the epic action scenes, and let's not forget the big guns!  I am very curious to know how it will turn out.  I believe this is the first anime i'll see, that wasn't based on a manga - or to be more precise, a kick ass Supercell song! I enjoy Supercell's song and hope that they use that song for the OP.  Congrats Miku!  You will open for an epic series!~

Specials and Ova's ~

Usagi Drop Specials

Aw . . who doesn't like Usagi Drop?  The first special was adorable and I am looking forward to specials 6.5 and 8.5. This anime does a great job at portraying a fun and positive view of parenthood.  But even if you're not a parent yourself, I recommend you watch it because I believe it will connect with you in one way or another. Seriously, if you don't watch it you are really missing out. 

K-ON! (Movie)

It looks like the girls are taking a little trip this winter.  I can't wait for the theatrical release!  Too bad it's not being released anywhere near where I am.  Still, i'll wait until the day it hits media everywhere!  I enjoyed the series so much and the music was great.  It has been dearly missed and this release will commemorate my love for K-ON!

Any thoughts on this up and coming anime season?  What series are on your list?

Happy blogging!
