i've been away for 4 days and when i opened my mailbox i had quite a
moment of disbelief.  there were 69 mails!!! in my mailbox from this
ML...  so this mail address all those mails that i want to reply to...

u want flame bait, here comes flame bait...

i just had this wild idea that Belldandy is Indian (no, not the native
Americians, but the India ones).  my justifications are that Indian
women have some sort of marking(s) on their face, esp at their
forehead.  also, if u ppl will dig up ur first few mangas, the look of
her clothings are quite Indian-like.  this does over throw the very
basic foundation of our belief that the goddess are Greek...

any one has anything (aka, flame) to say abt this??

and, i prefer Aa! Megami-sama to any other titles.  and though i've
never heard any voice dubs (not available where i live) i do, and will
prefer the original to anything else.  food for thought, i have all the
raw DVDs of AMS from Japan.  and anything else that i cannot understand
in chinese (actually, just the mangas).  it's cos i think that chinese
is the next closest language to japanese.  all this is cos i prefer the
originals to anything else.

for one, i'm also annoy (would like a stronger word) that the bilingual
comic is no longer in publication.  i was going to buy both love hina
and AMS bilinguals when i received news that the Kodansha won't be
exporting the bilingual out of Japan, and now they be stopping
publications... all from this ML... cheers!!!  this ML really gives a
lot of info...


ps. if i recall correctly, the Holy Bell is from last year (i.e. 2000)
of Volks where they made these limited editions and stamp Fujishima-san
signature on, isn't it? one of these cost abt US$200-300 (can't recall
the actual price), is that right?  that would be abt singapore $600...

i had wanted to buy it too but the high price prohibits me from buying
it...  and talking of AMS merchandise, i also have tons of them... and
i'm still trying to collect whatever i can.

anyone knows where i can buy a stainless steel bookmark (Urd pic)? 
it's tough trying to buy stuff without any money...  wonder if any
place on earth accepts shells as payment...  would just have to go to
the beach to collect the "money", and yet can still buy unlimited stuffs...
