Hey, sorry for the lack of posts…again. *sweatdrop*  But anyway,  I figured I’d give a shoutout to all of the new Bloggers of the Month!   Congrats, guys!

What surprised me was that not only did Azog (another male “HKO” player make the cut), but so did my friend and fellow guildie, Rini!  Yay! XD  She may not have much to offer when it comes to blog entries.  But what she does have is a blog that features not only English,  but Japanese as well.  And as many “HKO”/Sanriotown residents might know, Hello Kitty herself is really Japanese, even though it says she’s English and that this site and “HKO” are stationed in Hong Kong. But wherever she’s born/created/raised/whatever, one thing’s for sure:  Hello Kitty and her friends have become a global phenomenon!  So to my friend Rini, I’d like to say “Omedetou!” (”Congratulations!” in Japanese)  “You go, girl!”  XD  And congrats to everyone else who won too!  You guys earned it.  ^_^

Oh yeah, my friend Bi, had made me “blutton” (blog button) to be used for my blog.

I thought it was really sweet of her.  =^_^=  And it even had the Mokonas from the anime/manga series “Tsubasa Chronicle” and “xxxHolic”.  That’s great considering I’m also a fan of anime and manga. Thanks, Bi. ^_^

Now I actually have a “blutton” like many other bloggers on here!  So if you guys know me and would like to like to link me with the “blutton”, go ahead.

My blog address is:  http://blog.sanriotown.com/the_otakutopian1:hellokitty.com/

By the way, if you’d guess, one of the blog themes for this Easter is My Melody.  I think that’s perfect since My Melo herself is a rabbit and wouldn’t mind sharing some love with all of those good kids searching for Easter Eggs.  Just hope her rival Kuromi (who’s also a rabbit ?) won’t steal ‘em away. hehe

Speaking of My Melody, I have some sad news.  It seems that the anime series “Onegai My Melody” will be ending in Japan.  T_T  But the good news for Sanrio fans is that another series based of a Sanrio/Sega toyline will be taking its place:  “Jewelpet”.

Nothing personal, but I’m not really sure how this franchise is gonna turn out.  I mean, sure, it’s another cute Sanrio co-creation (with the help of Sega).  And yeah, the designs on this series are probably just as cute as “Onegai My Melody”.  Maybe even cuter. *blushes*  But doesn’t it sound an awful like “Neopets” or something?  I mean you have like 33 different animals that use magic and stuff like that.  Plus, “Jewelpet” seems to be relatively new, while the My Melody franchise has been going on almost as long as Hello Kitty.   Though I think Kuromi originated from “Onegai My Melody”, making her franchise almost as new as “Jewelpet” but still old enough to be like a “big sister” to it.  But anyway, click here for the news from Anime News Network, and here for the Japanese website (sorry Japanese only, but you still get some cute pictures).

Well, that’s it for now.  Hope nobody became an April Fool or whatever today.  Hope everybody will have a Happy Easter/Passover/etc. this month!

Also, if anybody’s sad that I haven’t commented on their blog, it’s mainly ’cause I keep getting that dang “You must be logged on to comment” or whatever message even though I was logged on!  Sometimes, I am able to comment.  But most of the time, I’m not.  So anyway, sorry I wasn’t able to comment.  Hope you all do well.

Well catch ya later!
