http://kasumimanga.com/blog Tomorrow will be a sunny day! ^_^ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 21:54:36 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I can't believe how fast time has flown. I know it sounds cliche to say it. But, seriously, I can't help but feel like it was only last week that we were still starting a new year. There's always things to do everyday and before you know it, the week ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2010/03/24/facebook-accounts/ Two days ago, when I was checking my Facebook account, I stumbled upon a fan page dedicated to Kasumi manga. I was surprised to see it and I have to say... I was very touched. ^_^ It really made my day to know that there are people out there who love ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2010/01/27/kasumi-vol-3/ First of...I want to apologize for disappearing from the face of the earth. >_< I just checked my last blog and OMG! The last time I said anything was in July... *sigh* Forgive me for being a poor communicator. Things have been crazy here the past few months... Just to back ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2010/01/07/missing-in-action/ So, we've just arrived in Singapore. It's been about 2.5 years since I last visited. Today I went to buy some groceries and was standing in the cab (otherwise known as a "taxi") line waiting for a cab. I noticed the guy in front of me cutting the line and ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2009/07/24/the-other-side-of-the-world/ I've not been keeping up with my music lately. The only time I get to listen is when I'm driving. But, I'm one of those people who don't keep track of the artist and song and I always find myself humming the songs and trying to figure out which one ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2009/07/03/music-for-the-soul/ Here's the translation to Sugimoto-san's blog entry: I went to the shop that handled the mid-century United States furniture and miscellaneous goods the other day. It is for research of culture at that time and atmosphere. Instead of taking a picture of the store and leaving, I decided to take a turn ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2009/07/03/furniture-store/ 私は先日、ミッドセンチュリーアメリカの家具や雑貨を扱うお店に行きました。当時の文化や雰囲気のリサーチの為です。残念ながら店舗の写真撮影は不可だったので、じっくり店内を観てまわることにしました。大型のビルの一階二階の巨大な店舗には全てレトロな輸入雑貨で溢れていて、中には雑貨の範疇を越える物まで在りました。例えば道路標識やパーキングメーター、街灯らしき物、ガス缶、ガソリンスタンド？等です。それらは全て正規のルートで入手された貴重な物らしいです。この時代の物は、道具一つに対して一つの機能が在るのみで、その造形はとても美しいです。合理的に良くデザインされている物が多く、観ているだけでワクワクします。私はそのお店の、デザインと雑貨の歴史背景に詳しい美人店員さんにガイドされながら、２時間程そのお店を堪能しました。私はそこで一枚のプレートを買いました。私の仕事場はなんと駐車場になってしまいました。（日曜日を除く）haha http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2009/07/01/%e9%9b%91%e8%b2%a8%e5%ba%97/ We are so excited that we're getting fan art!!! ^_^ I've been getting emails from our fans and it's really great to know that there are readers who love Kasumi! It makes all the hard work that Sugimoto-san and I went through all the more rewarding. :) I heard from my ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2009/04/24/kasumi-fans/ I thought I would continue with the same line of thought as Sugimoto-san. >_< Spring is really in the air and so is the pollen. I was walking with baby G the other day and I caught a whiff of something. All of a sudden I'm sneezing like crazy. It ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2009/04/24/spring-is-in-the-air/ Hi everyone, here's the translation to Sugimoto-san's blog post: Spring Weather Two volumes were put on the market the other day. I’m glad because everyone will have the chance to read about the many new characters in volume 2. When the distance is short, I like to move around on my bicycle. I’ve ... http://kasumimanga.com/blog/2009/04/24/spring-weather/
