Lesson #1: Know & Define "flaming820" (^-^)/ Ni hao! Hello! My name is flaming. You can bet it's not my real name but doesn't matter. It's still a name. Why flaming? My favorite element is flame and favorite color is red (and black by the way), so that's it. It's a short version of my username really... Actually, I have a former account here from 2 years ago but I lost my password. (~_~) I made a new one because I want to learn Nihonggo and Chinese Mandarin! (^_^) I want to learn because it is a great advantage in pursuing a successful career. So let's be friends, ne!!! To know more about me, read more below.... I am a: - certified otaku (manga/anime/games) - certified bookworm (novels/magazines) - Leo born in the year of the Metal Horse - J-pop/rock fanatic - aspiring musician to be/wannabe (piano/guitar) [If someone is willing to give tips, mighty appreciated!] - a bit weird, average-looking, but a totally random person with happy random friends! [random = unpredictable] I love/want: - books! BOOKS! I eat them for breakfast! Heehee~ I even read classics like Jane Austen and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. - to sleep and daydream (esp. by the window on a road trip) - to learn/master playing the piano and guitar someday! [amateur level] - love creamy filled milk or sweet drinks (formulation: 1 part water, 3 parts milk powder)! I don't drink coffee though... - to learn/master foreign languages: Nihonggo and Chinese Mandarin are on my TOP priority list. - to cosplay someday with my random friends - to play in a band as the lead guitarist [like Sazaki Mami] with my random friends someday - to draw/doodle and write up stories and poems or so on... - to travel or work in my favorite Southeast Asian countries someday [#1 Japan, #2 China, #3 Korea] - fashion the Asian style! \(*v*)/ I think that's much I can share for now... Hope we'll be getting along well together here at Italki! (^_~)v flaming820, Peace out!
