Introducing Our Blog Mascot: Cookie the Pug!

Thanks to dear DDee‘s enthusiastic (and unwavering, unrelenting) encouragement, which kinda stemmed from one of my answers on my Sisterhood Blogging Award post, I finally did it. I finally decided to make Cookie the blog’s mascot!

I hereby crown Princess Cookie the Official Blog Mascot of this site! Can we get a whoop! And a bow befitting of royalty, while we’re at it, thank you. šŸ˜‰

To commemorate Princess Cookie’s momentous official entry into the blogosphere, she’s graciously deigned to receive her very own spot on the site’s sidebar. You’ll see her smiling at you, if you look to your right among the widgets.

If you click on her smiling royal mien among the widgets, that will bring you to her very own blog. (No, I’m not kidding, and OMG, I can hardly believe I’m letting her have her own blog!)

Sisterhood Blogging Award!

Thanks to NeeNee, who hosts Asian Addicts Anonymous, for nominating me for this blogging award – which I hadn’t ever heard of, in fact, until she nominated me!

To be honest, the moment I set eyes on the name of this award, I thought of the movie “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” Have you seen it? It’s a cute 2005 movie that revolvesĀ around four friends, and explores friendships, growing up, and theĀ magical pair of jeans that fits all four friends, despite their very different builds and physiques.

I enjoyed the movie quite a lot, and I thinkĀ the movie poster is cute – which is why I couldn’t resist doingĀ a cheeky take on the movie poster concept, to be my sisterhood blogging award badge.

Whaddya think? Does it work? šŸ˜‰

Happy New Year! Giveaway Winners! ..And Other Stuff

Oopsie. Do our fingersĀ not read “2 0 1 5”??

kfangurl: Happy brand new 2015, everyone!! Wow, can you believe it’s already officially 2015?

Lady G: It feels a bit weird, but it’s really not. I hope this year is better for every one. šŸ™‚

But now I mustĀ ask –Ā Where’s my Hoverboard? I’ve been waiting for it since 1989! My self-drying jacket and automatic-lacing Nikes? Flying cars? I knowā€¦ Back to the Future IIĀ lied to us!

kfangurl: It totally did! I mean, never mind the Hoverboard, I’d love a time-traveling car – y’know, to watch more drama with. And also, maybe stalk Woob’s fanmeets and other appearances, heh. Yes, I have a total one-track mind. Priorities, y’know? šŸ˜‰

Lady G: I never even would’ve thought of using time travel to fuelĀ our kdrama obesssions. I love the way you think! We’ll take those trips together. Who knows? We may change the future and wind up married to our biases. hehehe! Or would that be way too much of a butterfly effect?

kfangurl: Butterfly-schmutterfly. Whatever it takes to get hitched to the Woob, I say!

We are TWO!

kfangurl: Can you believe the blog’s actually been around for 2 whole years now? It used to be such teeny tiny lil baby, and now look how well it’s growing up, heh.Ā I’ve heard of the Terrible Twos where toddlers are concerned.. I wonder if we’re now entering the Terrible Twos, for the blog.Ā Like, will we get more tantrumy & stampy!

Lady G:Ā Ā That could happen! ButĀ ā€ŖI believe TheĀ Fangirl Verdict is maturing.Ā And, I consider her aĀ girl. She’sĀ lively, and extremely curious about her wonderful Kdrama surroundings. She loves to gush over handsome K-drama men. She’s creative and enjoys writing her own dream dramas, and she’s wise. She genuinely wants to help fans answer their Kdrama problems with her own feature – DearĀ Kfangurl.

kfangurl:Ā  ā€ŖY’know, I’ve never thought about that. But you’re right, blog baby’s a girl. How could she NOT be a girl, she spazzes so much over k-boys.

Lady G:Ā  ā€ŖShe’s such a little yoja!

kfangurl:Ā  ā€ŖWell, I think so, but I am also completely biased!

Lady G:Ā  ā€ŖAnd that’s a #1 rule at The Fangirl Verdict, we can be totally biasedā€¦ WITHOUT stepping on anyone else’s biases.

kfangurl: Or at least, we try.

Flash Reviews & Dropped Section: YAY or NAY?

I’d like your opinion, you guys!

I’m toying with the idea of introducing 2 new sections to the blog, but I’m not sure if it’s something you guys would actually like. One is a section for mini quick-as-a-flash reviews, and the other is a dropped section, for shows that I’ve (you guessed it!) dropped.

Since this is a space that you guys have helped to build with your suggestions and opinions, I thought the natural thing to do would be to ask you guys what you think. šŸ™‚

On the one hand, we feel the lurve. We really, really do.

On the other hand, we can’t help but wonder if you guys just enjoy seeing us squirm as we try to answer your challenging questions, heh.

Whichever it is, we’ve got our game faces on, and are braving your questions with as much composure as we can muster.

Bring. It. On. Baby!

Sunshine The Second!

 

Guess what, everyone! The blogĀ got a second Sunshine nomination!

Thanks toĀ Indigo of Between Wor(L)ds for the love! And man, you DO ask some very tough questions!

I’m so pleased with myself now, coz after the blog’s first Sunshine Award, I’d toldĀ Lady G that I’d be getting her to play in future blog award type thingies.

Seeing Indigo’s tough questions, I’m mighty impressed with Past Me’s foresight. Coz I’m gonna need all the help I can get! Ha.

You’ll know what I mean when you see Indigo’s questions!

Pocketful of Sunshine!

Good mornin’, Sunshine!

You might’ve seen the Sunshine AwardĀ making its rounds in the k-blogosphere lately. Well, today it’s my turn to join the sunshiny fun!

But first of all, let’s get some context. (You guys know how much I love my context!)

I did a bit of poking around, and found that the Sunshine Award is given to bloggers who “positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere.”

D’aw~ That’s so nice, isn’t it?

Thanks to Snow of The Drama Corner for nominating me as a positive inspiration!

Now, let’s get down to business, shall we?

Liebster Shower [Round 2!]

So a funny thing happened. Liebster season snuck up on me when I wasn’t even looking.

When the first signs popped up, hinting that Liebster season was upon us again, I hardly took notice. I was all like, Well, I had a good go at that last year, and it was a heap of fun. Surely after 9 whole Liebsters, though, no one’s going to want to ask me more questions about myself. Right?

Wrong.

When I wasn’t looking, those Liebsters seemed to multiply in a little room all by their sneaky little selves. Almost like they had a will all their own. And now, I have a serious heap of questions to answer *starts sweating bullets*

I plead hectic Real Life schedules as the reason that I delegated the job of answering the Liebster questions to Future Me (hey, after watching so many time-travel dramas, you gotta learn something, right?)

So here I am, Future Me (er, now Present Me?) to the rescue! Let’s see if you guys can stick with me all the way to the very end, eh? I promise to make this as pain-free as possible šŸ˜‰

And, thanks to all you sweethearts who nominated me – I feel like I’ve been rained on by showers of lurveĀ ā¤
