This is just a quick post, I'm tired and I shall go to sleep cos tomorrow I wake up at 6 am. This was made by Kei aka Dahlia from Neko Otaku Club, she has it up on devianart, but I took it to my desktop, so I can use it to promote.
We've rearranging HanaDan Shojo's program to make it as perfect for the building as it could be. Anyway, it'll be hard to have it all right, but we're going to work it out. My last combinations have gone to the idea of putting two different rooms (rooms aren't too wide and big) for conferences, because we can place two of the conferences in the room of projections, with the doramas (all episodes #01) and animes (just a couple or three). Those would be the doramas conference and the anime vs manga one. Then leave the other conferences in the Main room. And let the outside be the space with the stage (little stage plus dance floor stage), and the few activities. The stands will be placed at the archways, and if we can finally know who's gonna run the bar, we will place there the Host Club (like Ouran's) and maybe the food stand (Bimbo Makino's).
Tomorrow maybe I'll write about the contests, cosplays and others...
Hey! I'm at my summer town, I've been working as a waitress again, still broke tho :( and I've been doing some preparation works for upcoming events... I'm still half discussing some of the dates, the boss seems to forget everything I tell him about dates, events and workshops... anyway, it's gonna be easier than the lessons we'll be doing about Japan and its history...
FACT # 1
Hanadan Shojo is the new name I gave to Hana Yori Dango Day aka Hanadan Day because the original idea of this event has been changing a lot since I first created it. I won't get tired of saying is not another NANA DAY:
A. No one has proposed to celebrate a day dedicated to a manga Internationaly.
B. The original idea was a marathon watching the first season of the Live Action, so it was "Days" instead of "Day", we made the "s" fall because when we took the idea back we only had a day to make it.
C. We never intended to make our "NANA" event such a big deal, but since someone proposed it to make it on 07/07/07 we switched dates, cancelled a couple of events dedicated to two manga/anime/live action and worked a little more into that idea to match the International celebration. The way we worked back into Hanadan Shojo has been different since what we wanted is to use this manga to show how shojo has been through the last two decades and how some works had been adaptated into anime and into tv drama series, plus having an excuse to celebrate some of us are arashian. XD
FACT # 2
We didn't chose the date exactly, we said it had to be in the end of November, because at the beginning there's a Manga Feir and before is impossible to get ready such an event, because there are other things to get ready, and later we have another event this year... so we said 17th or 24th November and the center we're doing this event gave us the 17th. Is not a date with a hidden meaning or something.
FACT # 3
Hanadan Shojo stands for an event that will be about shojo manga, doramas, Taiwanese and Korean dramas based in shoujo manga, and the idols from the JE plus JVKV (the original Taiwanese F4). The principal subject of this event are the conferences, talks and episodes from some anime series and dramas (TW, K, and of course JPN) that are linked into the shoujo works we picked up appart of Hanadan, which is the main series we picked up because of the importancy of the manga and both the Taiwanese and the Japanese drama. Arashi and the JE come because of Hanadan and because some of the JE idols and the JVKV members have started in roles in those drama series we've talked about.
FACT # 4
This won't be an event that will be celebrated in different cities, areas, locations, whatever. It will have only a location, at least this year, and depending on its acceptation we could repeat it again, next year (maybe) in another city, maybe changing the name or adding new shojos...
FACT # 5
We will have some activities, games and little workshops, but all of them will be related to shojo manga, and girlie stuff, except for the videogames which will be some oldies, such as Tetris, Return to Aracade or Puyo Pop, because we know some males will come too. But this event is to learn a little bit more about the subjects we already discussed above.
FACT # 6
Different people will be involved in Hanadan Shojo: There's a blog dedicated to everything about shojo news (Los Shojos de Deirdre), the best Spanish site about Hanadan (www.hyd-es.com) , different associations and clubs, even some forums such as Arashi Rabu Rabu where we've been requesting some material or fansubs such as Dorama no Fansub (they made the subs for HYD and HYD 2), we even requested to F4-Pawa and still we've got more people to ask for help or if they want to join us with something... There's plenty of things you can do, even from the distance, like sharing videos, series, or ideas. There's an online competition: Best Hanadan Fanfic, and a Cosplay Competition by pictures... and we decided to do that because some people have already complained about the fact this event will be too far from their locations.
FACT # 7
After this event, we still have work to do, events to go and work as volunteers, and events that will be like this but dedicated to other themes and subjects, and it'll be plenty of time to make events like people are used to go, with the same activities and workshops and competitions as always, that's why we're not worried about not having stuff people is used to, we're also trying to get these events to a new client target, people that can read manga, but maybe won't go to the typical events. We already had some of them at NANA DAY, and they told us they liked the familiar atmosphere and that they didn't felt that out-of-place.
FACT # 8
Is true that I've already suggested to the ones that felt decieved with NANA DAY and have been harsh with us not to come. I'm sorry, but people who only think we shoul make perfect events like we were a company or something, are not welcome into our events. They only come to criticize and they're negative. Some have already doubted about Hanadan Shojo, and still they say they'll probably come. There's no need to.
FACT # 9
We'll keep doing events despite of the haters because we love them, but get sure I won't waste the same amount of money as I did in NANA DAY, because those haters have shown me there's no worth in doing it. It's better keeping it poor, than wasting money in material that won't be apreciate. Same goes for the prizes, we'll be giving little prizes, and we'll be having just a few competitions. However we'll be talking about Hanadan Shojo to the publishers that publish shojo in Spain, because we think they must know about this, and because maybe some of them want to join us in our conferences and talks.
FACT # 10
YES it's true this event has changed from its original idea, but still it was previous to NANA DAY, same as it is the one we'll be doing next summer. We've got plenty of previous ideas, but anyway, people still will compare them to NANA DAY... let me just tell you that if ever someone requests to celebrate something internationally, I'll only join if I have something in mind, like I did with NANA DAY ;D
So, I was wondering yesterday if that was over... and today I log into Arashi Rabu Rabu and find out a topic confirming the 3rd season. They also had a link about it, but honestly, I can't read Japanese (yet)

Although I'm gonna try hard to learn something by my own (got a self-study course from www.portaljapon.com ) and I keep watching loads and loads of Japanese dramas XD
Well, that was just a short post.
Gotta say that today by someone's request I downloaded Mario Vazquez's album and I'm listening at it right now and I'm quite surprised, I like it:
He's got a voice. I'll add it on my 'must buy when I work again' list. XD
Well, I don't play it everyday, but I certaintly enjoy this Nintendo DS game. Is very amusing, my little character's name is rei-chan, she has pink hair and I designed a Hello Kitty (well, something that looks like it) dress for her.
I'm still a beginner, I've just started chasing for bugs and butterflies, and I don't have any paintings yet. I've also seem to have troubles to get fruits from other towns, because I play with a card that has a copy of the game, not the original one. But it's really good.
I don't go too often to watch Tota Keke sing, so I just have 2 songs, but a big gold stereo and a little radio player.
I've got plenty of furniture, but have some kept because my house has just been refurbished with the 3rd refurbish plan. I've still got a lot of house loans to pay to Tom Nook...
Well, it's monday, today I've joined www.infojobs.com and www.monster.es to see if I can find something there, but still hold the hope I will return to my past job. Is only a matter of time...
I've been doing some research for that 'freelance thing' and I should speak to our client about that 'project manager' thing's budget. I also should be saving data... maybe later... XD
mmm end of Dorama's season is aproaching... so far Hanadan is in episode 09 (this week's 10), Himitsu no Hanazono is at 08, and Haikei, Chichiue-sama is also at 08. I haven't watched this last one cos I'm saving it to watch it on my tv screen, at the living-room, with the dvd-divx player.
It's sad to know the drama's season is coming to an end... I wonder which dramas I will watch when the next season comes. I don't really know what series will be broadcasted in the Spring season at Japanese tv's.
I've been watching American series, as always, but this season Veronica Mars has changed a little bit. I must say I miss the whole season mistery plot, but that is more relaxing having three big misteries along the season. We've already solved 2, I wonder which will be #3.
Lost is loosing audience, they rated very low last weeks... I haven't been that obsessed with this 3rd season, but still surprises me. I've just decided to watch more than 4 episodes in a row, so I don't get that anxious.
As for Desperate Housewives, I'll just download the episodes later, I haven't watched any 3rd season yet.
Gilmore Girls is still my #1, can't miss an episode! The story is still that great! I wonder whether Lorelai and Luke will get back together...
Smallville is getting more shoking than ever... so we're in a break now, and last thing we found out was that Chloe's a meteor-freak, but we don't know which power she has gained. Maybe they'll turn her into the new Super-Girl?
Well it's time for Yo Soy Bea, so I'll stop this blog here. Maybe I'll come back later
