Hey guys,

Sorry for the looooooong delay in posts.  Yeah, I know, there have been lots of stuff that have happened in the past few months.  But I’ve been busy with work, family, private time, and of course the return of “Hello Kitty Online”.  (Yep, the game is back.  But I’m only playing the North American version sponsored by AeriaGames.  Since it too me a long time to download that version alone and that it takes up too much of my space as it is. >.<  But my ingame name is once again the_otakutopian just so you know.

To be frank, I probably won’t be making as many posts as I used to.  Or at least not have ‘em as long and detailed as I used to.  Why?  ‘Cause many of the ones I did took me practically forever (around an hour) to make.  And I also had to reloggin sometimes ’cause it took me too long to post.  (NOTE TO SELF:  Save Early, Save Often.)  I’m not gonna lie to ya. Many of my posts took a lot of time to make.

Also, I thought they stopped allowing Uploads from my computer so I upload pictures either. T_T  But I guess it works now.  To test, I would like to print out some of my pics from the last day of the NA’s closed beta back in September.  What was special about that day is that everybody can request anything from the GMs that they would like to wear or use before the beta closes and the game resets (kinda like “Cinderella”), including a Gold Ticket that can take you to any town in the game without having to wait for it.  (The Bronze Tickets can only be used once every 48 hours. T_T)  So I requested that.  And was able to visit Beijing for the first time in the game.  (I didn’t go very far in the CB.)

What can I say, but WOW!  The place was HUGE!  It might be around the size of New York City (not up right now ) if not larger.  With nice Chinese-style music to go along with it.  ^_^

I also got some Sanrio-themed stuff like some hats, some T-shirts, and a box outfit.

The Hello Kitty hat and the HKO T-shirt (from the first pic) were my personal faves.  The hat especially since although they sell three different colored-bowed Kitty hats at Paris, all of them were for girls only. T_T  But thankfully, the GMs were able to give me my own Kitty hat for that special night.  And for some reason, it looking different from the girls-only hats in Paris.  Probably ’cause we can actually see Kitty’s face.  ^_^

Also, if you noticed from all of those pictures, I got something else from the GMs that made me shine.  ^_^

Yep, the GMs were able actually able to give me another mask to wear for the night.  Thanks guys.

Some of my guildies got some pretty cool outfits too.  Like Sailoria:

Bee,

and Arielscool.

Bee’s dress made her look like she escaped from the Queen of Hearts from “Alice in Wonderland”,

[Queen of Hearts:  “OFF WITH HER HEAD!”]

Sailoria’s outfit made her look like a character from the anime “The Story of Saiunkoku”

and Arielscool could have used her shorts with suspenders to make her look more like Misty from “Pokemon”.  ^_^

Nice goin’, guys. ^_^

But anyway, for all of you fellow fans of the troublesome yet lovable Kuromi, I’ve found a nice youTube video of her singing “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” (in Japanese) with her best friend and partner in crime (and main source of transportation hehe) Baku and that violin guy she has a crush over in “Onegai My Melody.  Perfect for this time of the year, doncha think?  ^_^

(If you listen pretty well, you might find out that Kuromi is voiced that the same lady who voices the title character in the Japanese version of the anime “Naruto”.  Weird huh?  But true.)

Again, hope you guys are mad at me for not posting for a while.  I’ll try to post whenever I can.  No promises or anything.  Just hopefully I will.

Happy Holidays everybody!  And thanks again to the GMs who made some of our dreams come true that End-of-Closed-Beta night.  ^_^

[P.S.  This post also took me a long time.  Especially since I had many lags and freezes in the process.  Another reason why I shouldn’t have my posts really long from now on.  Just wanted to get that outta the way. >.<]
