This has nothing to do with my reviewing, or the blog at all, but in case you ever feel nauseated: Ginger ale works wonders. Trust me. This morning, I've been having abdominal pains and the urge to vomit for the past few hours, research online (and remembered) that ginger ale works for stomach problems. Took it easy for the rest of the time until now, and the pains are practically gone.
I took a day off anyways, just in case. Now I have to make some rice porridge to be on the safe side. Good stuff, Asian food. Take this from an Asian, nothing better than homemade food. Or a bowl of instant ramen after a long vacation. Either works.
About me not being here as usual. That's still being worked out. If I had more time in the world, I would probably waste it here and on MMORPGs.
By the way, I've been reading a few mangas lately, but not much to catch my attention. If I find one, I might do it sometime this week. Who knows.
Gonna get back to my ginger ale and porridge. And maybe sleep. Good things for when you feel nauseated. Or just sick in general. I didn't vomit yet, luckily. Probably not gonna by this point. Praise the Lord.
Signing off. *blows kisses*

801 Menu (A.K.A. Dictionary)
The following is a collection of terms that us fellow fudanshi and fujoshi, or yaoi lovers, use and see often in our adventures (This is also WIP.):
Boy's Love (BL) = Literally, a homosexual relationship between two male persons. In Japanese, BL is literally translated "shounen-ai". It is not as graphic as yaoi.
Shounen-Ai = Defined above. :)
Yaoi = Pronounced "yah-oh-ee/yow-ee". Also known as Boy's Love, it is a Japanese acronym that stands for Yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi ("No peak [climax], no fall [punch line], no meaning.") It is slightly different from shounen-ai, which is considered less "hardcore" than yaoi in a sexual sense.
801 = This set of numbers is a play off of the pronunciation of the word "yaoi". In Japanese, 8 is "ya" when counting objects, 0 is, well, "oh", and 1 in standard counting begins with the sound "i", like how we say the letter "e" by itself. So when you see "801", that's always yaoi coming ahead.
Seme = Literally "to attack" or "top", it stands for the male position in a sexual relationship. Also called "tachi," or "sword," as a play on the meaning of "to attack".
Uke = Literally "to recieve" or "bottom", it stands for the female position in a sexual relationship. Also called "neko," or "cat," as the position an uke can take during sexual intercourse.
More terms to come! :D
