✿✿My White Day Sweetheart is Oliver Davis✿✿

I'm sure that some of you must be having question marks (?) flying around your head like butterflies... So allow me to explain, for those who do not know.

First, White Day.... (Click the link, but I'm about to state the information here, anyway..)
It started in Japan in 1978, but is now celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan. Traditionally White Day is held exactly a month after Valentine's Day. (i.e. 14th of March)

Valentine's Day in Japan, if you asked me is unlike Valentine's day worldwide. Worldwide, on valentine's day, couples regardless of the male or female counterparts, will exchange gifts. The guy may give the girl flowers, the girl may give him chocolates.... etc

In Japan it's different. On Valentine's day, the guy gives nothing. Instead they do all the recieving, mostly they get chocolates. For those who don't like sweet things, the girls may give them something else.

Usually the girl gives chocolates to the guy she likes, signifying that she has special feelings for him. Thus, in Japan, Valentine's Day becomes somewhat like a popular vote for the guys. The more chocolate a guy recieves, the more popular he is with the girls. Hence, the gloomy, sad depressed looks we see on Japanese Drama, Manga and Anime on the characters who don't even recieve a piece of chocolate.

Actually, (this isn't on wikipedia, but based on my observations of Japanese Drama, Anime and Manga...) besides giving chocolates to the one she likes, some girls take the oppurtunity to thank friends as well, and give out what is called "obligatory" chocolates.

These are usually given to the girl's father or brother (if she is close to them, or any other male relative that she is close to, and doesn't mind receiving the chocolates..); to her guy friends (close ones, and always in the presence of the other recievers, so that he doesn't get the wrong idea), and to girlfriends/bestfriends (same rule applies as when giving to guy friends.)

So basically, the girls may exchange chocolates with the other girls on Valentine's Day as a show of appreciation of their friendship.

Now, isn't it unfair that only the guys receive? --> Thus, the birth of White Day!

On White Day i.e. 14 March, It is the turn of the boys who have recieved chocolates to return the favour. If you had clicked on the link above, (or may do so after reading this post), It's already explained that, usually guys will have to buy back something for the girl. Usually more expensive.. They may give chocolates back to the girl, or buy her jewellry etc.. But those usually apply to guys who are reciporating the girl's feelings..

For the guys recieving "Love" Chocolate, They may choose to reply. If they reply by giving the girl something in return, he is replying her feelings, if he doesn't.. She has been rejected...

So basically Valentine's Day is like a Love confession day. Though there may be shy girls who give chocolates anonymously, or maybe because the guy is the "Idol" of the school... (Following manga, anime and Japanese Drama, this sort of translates out as, he belongs to everyone in the school) being popular sure is hard...

For the obligatory chocolates. The male friends (as stated, female friends exchange chocolates on the same day), if they aren't too shy (which most of them are.. So many girls don't really expect a return of gifts from them) They may return the favour by giving the girl chocolates, or maybe other things such as, ribbons for the hair..etc small little gifts in return, to show that they appreciate her friendship as well.. (But I personally think this is rare, because guys in Japan are very shy, and they don't want to give the wrong impression that they like the girl. Even if they return the gift, it's usually, personally done in private...To avoid misunderstanding from the other guys, who may tease him endlessly...But I wonder if he returns the gift, saying it's just thank you for the obligatory chocolates.. Does he like her too?? maybe that's the reason girls don't get much back on White Day...)

Also I think, that maybe they don't take it seriously or importantly unless they are in love with the said girl...

Thus that is about it on my explanations on White Day, You can google it yourself for more information.
You know it's interesting to note that the South Koreans have an alternative celebration called Black Day on March 14th.. For the poor singles who have no chocolates...

Now we are going to the little pinkish words at the start and end of this post. I was suppsoed to post this before March 14, but I was busy and forgot.. But better late than never..
Now this little link, is not the 'obligatory' one More like a fangirl's "Love"

For the fans of the anime Ghost Hunt, if you were a true fan, you would have searched the far corners of the internet to find more information about the anime, and discover that the Ghost Hunt Story actually originated from novels..

If you have a Facebook account head on over here --> Ghost Hunt to review the information that I managed to hunt down online..

For a little information for those who have yet to watch Ghost Hunt.. (I've posted about this anime before, but I'm sure most of you didn't read it.. so here goes..)

Ghost Hunt is an anime based on the supernatural. It basically follows the life of Taniyama Mai who came across a Ghost Hunter (Shibuya Kazuya).

Her school principle had called the Shibuya Psychic Research (SPR - Which is also an acronym for Society of Psychical Research, It's HQ located in London, whereas it's research Labs are located in Cambridge.. They investigate Psychic & Paranormal activities)

It's really intersting, especially if you are like me, a person who tends to search and read things online after watching a show.. (That's why they say watching television is educational, if only you do things like me, that is..)

Anyway, back to the main point about Oliver Davis (If you want to know more, just click on the provided links,or search for it yourself..)

WARNING SPOILER!!

Stop reading if you don't want to read a spoiler.. Which actually, wikipedia already revealed (somewhat), and if you had clicked on the facebook link...

Anyway, the aforementioned Kazuya Shibuya is/was actually one of a pair of twins. He was an orphan and was adopted by and English couple who gave him the name Oliver Davis, (nicknamed Noll, and in Japanese Noll can be mistakenly pronounced as Naru [ナル], due to the heavy japanese accent. He was given the nickname Naru short for Narcissism, watch or read the manga to find out why...) and his twin brother (who is a splitting image of him, and sound the same, and totally indistinguishable if they are both emotionless..) is called Eugene Davis (nicknamed Gene)

Gene had died in something that looked like an accident,(suspected murder) and Noll has come to Japan to look for his body. Noll found out about Gene's death through parapsychology, where he touched Gene's clothes and was placed at the scene of his death.

Both of them, though they look and sound similiar, they had different personalities, and somehow.. Though most people would have choose Gene's personality (Nice, talkative, expressive, smiles easily) I somehow am attracted to Noll instead (quiet, sarcastic, rarely smiles.. often described as a "stick in the mud idiot scientist"...) I really can't describe it, i guess you really have to go watch the anime or read the manga, both which i possess, so you may get them form me, if you wish.

Oliver Davis, just attracts me.. could be his gentleness, his love for his friends, his intelligence, his cool demeanor.. I mean though he is sarcastic he is nice in his own way.. (I love the way he treats Mai, She's like the only special one.. I love their interactions, NaruxMai fangirl here haha... He understands her so well..) Haha, maybe it's because though he acts like a cold insensitive jerk most of the time, but he is still sensitive, (sorry for being contradicting, but that's just me..) and... (I don't know?? ) since more people would chose his twin brother over him, there's no competition (?) just crapping [なんてね？じょうだんです，じょうだん]

But oh well, just to explain that, I've written another long essay, I would really love to write a really, long essay about Ghost Hunt but I digress. Too lazy and besides i have class later in the evening at 6pm

Anyway, not everyone shares my love or interest, so if you are interested you may click on the links provided...

The best way still, to understand my reason for 'choosing' Oliver Davis "Noll" out of sooooo many anime characters.. is to watch the anime...

*I could have choosen Syouran (Cardcaptor Sakura/ Tsubasa Reservior Chronicles), Alzeid (Hatenkou Yuugi), Tsukimori Len (La Corda D'Oro), Train Heartnet (Black Cat), Kudo Shinichi (Detective Conan, or maybe Kaito Kiddo ), gosh the list is endless, since I've watched so many animes.. But I guess for the time being Naru-bou is my favourite :)
Just a little warning, don't watch the anime at 2-3am it scares the shit out of you!!
