@Scarlet ~ Started it but neva really got into it just had too much to read but i never got enthralled by the story so i suspended it for when i really have nothing to do!
finally, my brother decided to stand up. been waiting for hours
@ian~ sorry for the late reply. regarding books, i got old ones so largely they don't publish it anymore. the other one i'm using is Tae Kim's Guide to Learning Japanese. i got this one from shito :3 you can find it in the net. hmmm. aside from those i also have a handy dictionary. though i must tell you that you should be careful in using some books. some of them have mistakes. >.>
