My Favourite Anime Series'!

Hey! It's been ages!

I've uploaded some new videos on my channel(s) since -cough- err May when I last posted!

Since I've been gone, I've watched a lot of Animes and a lot of K-dramas! I'm going to share my favourite animes now:)

1. Death note

Usually, this kind of anime isn't what I'd like. But honestly
Death Note is just incredible. When it finished, I was shaking with emotions it was just epic! I'm really interested by the characters L and Near, I'm trying to find out as much as I can about them. The story is incredible, the characters are fantastic, I love how they develop. And FYI, Matsuda is too attractive^^



2. Fruits Basket

I learnt a lot from Fruits Basket, it was the anime I watched straight after Death Note, which would normally mean that everything else is a let-down, but it still wasn't. From Tohru, I learnt so much about being a good person! I love the mysterious characters and the story lines within it, Tohru is adorable and the anime isn't the usual style of characters, it's different and interesting!

I'd definitely recommend this to people getting into anime, starting with Death Note may be a mistake because most animes won't seem as good, but I got a lot out of Fruits basket and I am planning on re-watching it this Christmas!




3. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

I actually got into this Anime sort-of
accidentally! I bought the film that was supposed to be the end of the 2nd season, watched it and loved it! So I decided to watch the series and it took me no time- I love it! I know some people might find Haruhi annoying but I actually think she'd be a lot of fun! And I really fancy Koysumi... like a lot. The stories are really cool, and the animation is very unique, makes me feel quite peaceful:') I also love the start of the opening theme!

4. Ouran High School Host Club

The first time I watched this series, I wasn't that interested. I got to about episode 5 and gave up. But, it got more popular about 6 months after and i decided to give it another go. I ended up loving it so much, I have laughed so much!
I love Honey! Although, he made me obsessed with rabbits and I'm getting a teddy and calling it Usa-chan and I don't care how sad it is!
I also like the deep stories underneath the light-heartenedness, although many say it's a comedy, it can be quite dark!
The one flaw I'd say, is the lack of (non homo-erotic or pedoish) love, I could've seen a little more with Haru-chan!

5. Suzuka 



Suzuka isn't a very well-known anime I believe, but I've really enjoyed it. I re-watched it pretty much straight after I finished it. Although, the characters can get slightly frustrating, like how suzuka can't just accept that Yamato likes her and Yamato can't just keep off of her for a while so she wants him back and blah blah...
Anyway, interesting anime, he moves to a new place and lives next door to Asahina Suzuka who he falls in love with, but it's not quite as typical as that:)


What I'm watching at the moment!


Anime: Angel Beats!

I'm not sure whether it's good or not, I've only watched a couple of episodes, but it's definitely no Fruits Basket! It's a strange idea, but somehow quite addicting and I'm looking forward to watching more ^^

On-Going Anime: Little Busters!

This anime recently begun and I'm currently waiting for an English subtitled version of episode 6 to be uploaded. I saw it trending on the Japanese trending tweets once, and decided to take a look. It's shown in Japan on Saturday and uploaded on Sunday here. It's good so far, the characters are cute and I loved the first few episodes although the more recent ones aren't quite as good.

K-Drama: Dream High (Re-watch)

I love Dream High because it's like the K-pop Glee ^^
I really like the characters, the music is also good, dream high 2
 is nowhere near as good but still enough to finish it.
Go Hye Mi changes a lot, and I love the end of episode 8

-SPOILER!-

When Kim Pil Sook (Played by IU, my fave!) loses all of her weight and looks stunning!



Animes I didn't enjoy


School Rumble 


To be honest, I actually liked school rumble, but for some reason, I didn't finish it. It was cute to watch and had some interesting characters, but it could be one of the ones I go back to like OHSC, and I might end up enjoying it. I got about half-way through and decided it would be best to start another for a while.
I will try watching it again in a while, I might enjoy it a second time round!
Also, the theme tune is really catchy. It plays in my head about twice a day.




Chobits

Again, I may come back to this one. I like the story, it's different and interesting, but it just didn't catch my interest and I haven't ended up finishing it. It's not a bad anime, but its just not that interesting to me! I would still recommend trying it though, it does make you think a bit about human relationships as Chi is a robot and the main character kind of likes her and etc.



                
Lucky Star

I don't want to sound mean, but this anime was really boring. I watched the first five episodes and nothing happened! I really didn't like it. I dunno. Maybe something more exciting happens later on, but from what I saw I don't think I'll give it another go.
Sorry if you are a fan!


 Shuffle                                                                      



This was my first ever 'proper' anime series. Before, I'd seen Pokemon, Avatar and the movie Spirited Away and that was it. I decided that anime looked cool and I wanted to know what all the hype was about and started on Shuffle. The first half of the series was ok, it definitely got me interested in anime, but the second half went mental and it was too much for my virginal-anime brain to handle. After this, I stopped with anime for a while, decided it wasn't for me. Then Death Note happened... and I realized I love watching nothing better!






Thanks for reading my anime posts, hope to post again soon!

Negativity

Hey guys, here is a script I wrote for an upcoming video, I'm not sure whether I'll make this video or not because I worry it's a bit serious to have on my channel and for all my family to see so here is a copy and you can tell me what you think!

Hey guys, so I thought I’d break away from the makeup stuff for a while and talk to you all like I used to. Before I started this channel, I’d just sit down and talk and write a blog post or whatever on just random topics, and the reason I’m not posting this on missleevlogs is because it’s kind of serious.

I don’t mean serious like grr serious business but I mean serious as in this isn’t to do with makeup or anything this is more to do with feelings. I’m not going to lie and say that on youtube it’s like heaven and everyone’s pleasant and we all run through flowery hills holding hands and singing, because it’s not.

Both online and in real life, I’ve had positive and negative comments about youtube. The positive comments for example are like ‘This is so creative’ or ‘I laughed so hard at your vlog’. Although I’m pretty much certain I’ve heard or read these at some point, it’s very hard to think of a positive comment off the top of my head, even though the majority of my comments are.

But on the other hand, I could probably tell you exactly when, why who etc, about the negative comments. I clearly remember the times when people have jokily make fun of me and haven’t been too serious and I never took offence. But the serious times I remember like they were three seconds ago, remember what it looked like I remember who from I remember when I remember all of the little details.

So the question is, why do we linger on the negative, why do we distinctly remember the things we shouldn’t listen to and should forget?

I remember a few years ago I was going through a hard time and youtube was my place away from it all. The people on youtube I listened to were so insightful and so happy with who they were I could hardly believe they existed. I think everybody knows that If everyone saw youtube or even the lives we live through our eyes, they’d respect us a whole lot more, because nobody can live our lives as well as we do.

I know as well that the people on youtube, as happy and wonderful as they are have had negativity their whole lives just as everyone else has. I’ve never met a youtuber who’s been a bad person, but they all admit at some point to doing or saying something hurtful or mean. It’s human nature to learn by doing and that’s why younger people tend to be a bit meaner or hurtful to others because they are unaware of their own abilities.

It can be frustrating when all you want to do is force away the negativity and focus on the positivity in your life and you can’t stop thinking about it. Whenever I’ve had a bad comment, it’s lingered on my mind constantly for at least a week after, and I don’t tell anyone and I usually just force it away somewhere into the back of my mind. But every time I get another, I think back to all the previous ones and it slowly builds up.

It’s not a cycle I want to be in and I would much prefer to just ignore things like that, and although it’s true I have a pretty thick skin against these things, they still hurt me.

So I think if you want to forget the negative things in your life, you’ll have to learn to accept them first. If you accept them, and forgive the person who said them, then you are already 99% healed because you’ve not only forgotten, but forgiven.

I definitely forgive the people that have said these mean comments because I know there’s always a motive behind it, something that’s made them angry or hurt and they are just passing it on rather than forgiving and forgetting. In a way I do feel sorry for them too as they can’t forgive and forget whereas I can, they will always feel pain and pass it to others until they learn that, and not everyone will be as educated in forgiveness as me and you. One day they’ll come across someone just the same as them and realise what they’ve been doing has hurt people, and maybe they’ll learn that way.

So through being on youtube I’ve learnt how to deal with negativity as well as having plenty of opportunities to use my skill, I hope you all can learn from my experiences before any comes your way or if any has already came your way, I hope you can use my advice to overcome the negativity.

Stay beautiful guys and I’ll see you all next week!

'If you don't like me, then say it to my face!'

Hey guys,

I haven't posted in a while and most of my posts have been video related, so this is more a rant.

So many times I've heard people say 'If you don't like me, then why don't you just say it to my face!'. Mostly on facebook, (which btw is incredibly hypocritical, if you want them to say it to your face, then say that to theirs!) I've never had it said to/about me personally, but I can guess what someone might feel who heard that about them.

The truth is, in the big adult world, there will be so many people that you meet and dislike, but have to work/get along with. Honestly, the mature thing to do is to just not mention it. It's better the slight tension being with them than fighting or open hate, it's really hard to work with someone like that.
And truthfully, if someone I thought might not like me said it to my face, I'd be quite personally offended by that, rather than just keeping it secret. In these situations, ignorance is bliss.

I know some people might think it's strong and shows courage to act like you can take insults like that, but really everyone is hurt at least slightly by these types of comments. I don't tend to take offense, I mean if some handed you a thorn, would you take it? No! Because it's going to hurt you! But I do admit, when someone says something bad to me, I take notice. I don't take offense, but I do consider whether I believe it or not, but every time it happens less and less, so it's improving.

In conclusion, if you suspect that someone dislikes you, then at least be glad they are doing the mature thing and attempting to work with you. Step into their shoes, they are the ones who have to endure someone they dislike, they don't need someone threatening them about it! And honestly, if someone came up to you and went 'Hey, yeah I don't like you.' you would take notice.

Anyway, enough of my rambles.
I'll see you all Sunday,
- Lee xx

Birthday Bakes

Hey guys:)

If you know me personally, stalk me or just happen to own a directory of everyone in the world's birthdays then you'll know my birthday is in a weeks time.
For most people, birthdays are really fun and everyone gives you presents and comes to your parties and hugs you a lot, but for me it's slightly different.
I just so happen to share the same birthday as half the people I know.

My brother (aged 30)
My other brother (aged 27)
My friend Ben (aged 13)
My friend Paul (aged 12)
My cousin Gemma (age unknown)
David Tennant (Hundreds of years old, he's the doctor.)
Jessica from SNSD (19/20)

So normally I find myself having to buy the rest of the world presents, and celebrating their birthdays a lot more than I celebrate my own.
I've not had a birthday party with more than 5 guests since I was about 8 because everyone else would probably rather attend other peoples' cool parties rather than mine which usually looks like this:



BUT,

there is one aspect I get excited for, and this might sound like some obese little boys birthday dreams but I LOVE BIRTHDAY CAKES!

I'm sorry, but normally food to me either resembles sick, bright colours or diabetes, but cake...
CAKE!
It's so bright and creative, but only birthday cakes...
Here's my faves:)
