First I would like to say... I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! <333333

OMW I got 100pps!!! That means I was in the top 5!!! =OOOO <33333 Thank you all so, SO much!!! And thank you all for commenting too!!!! Which is what I'll be talking sorry, I mean blabbing about today ^^;;

After realising it was *WAY* too confusing to go to each member who commented's site and reply to what they said and answering their questions about my bentos (if any), I decided to post the replies here, cos I realised that I was going to someone's NuTang thinking I was replying to their question, when I was actually also replying to another question someone else asked when I checked back to my comments x_X;; Oops...

So yes, from now on, if there are more than 3 questions asked or 5 comments written or any repeat questions, I will answer them in my next blog (after I blogged), so when I go to your site, I will be commenting about your latest blog entry instead of what you wrote in mine, since I update this thing regularly, k? ^_^

A question beforehand though: how come, even though I ended up in the top 5, I didn't show up on the map as green? o_O... or do you only go on the map as green *whilst* you're in the top 5...?

Ah! And I will also use the lovely Kirei's idea of putting up plugs at the end too! So! Replies, replies, replies to my wonderfully little commentors!

@dave, ah I already replied to this one, but others might like to know too! You can find it on jbox.com, an online store if you search 'Bento' ^_^ although I was looking on Ebay yesterday - thank you for your suggestion (I'd completely forgot about it when my daddy didn't check for me) - and the one there is cheaper... well, for the moment, at least...

But I don't think my daddy will buy that one for me though ;_; he doesn't think it's worth it, and if you add p&p... =sigh= although, I managed to nag him enough last night to buy me cutely shaped vegetable cutters whilst he was testing me on my hiragana chart (which I now know left->, up->down, and now down->up, and I expect he'll want me to do it right->left, backwards, from the middle->out, and randomly chosen before he's happy--he wants me to learn it thoroughly if I'm gonna be taking Japanese x_x =dies=)

@Silver, hehe thanks XD and it's an interesting and original comparison, though, you have to admit ;)

@Kirei, thank you! =D although... arg! I'm so jealous! You have a Japanese store near you ;_;

@ikimashokie, hehe thank you ^_^ ahh~ don't worry, practise makes perfect! =D (Actually I'm not that used to using these Japanese style chopsticks either... a Chinese pair are more flat so easier to pick things up with...)

@The-Muffin-Man, hahahaha! XDDD Bento #6 will probably be my best bento creation yet, cos we bought so much yummy food yesterday (well, more like I went and grabbed and shoved in our shopping trolley hehe) Lol, I'm not the cook at all... I only did it cos I got a little inspiration from Kitchen Cow ^^;; most of the time, I just throw a bunch of ingredients and shove it in a pan in some order, and hope all goes well haha... luckily it does XDDDD though I have been known to burn a lot of things... o_o;;

@invisible, thank you! =D Lol I did read the manga originally but yeah, Aku-Tenshi scanlated too slow for my tastes, then it got liscenced so I gave up on it... =sigh= also I'm personally not a fan of love triangles ^^;; but the anime is just so funny, you actually can't not watch it! XDDD

Yes! Bleach is amazing, you should definately check it out. Bleach Portal is an excellent place to download it, if not you can just watch off youtube ^_^ (I recommend the manga after the fillers start in ep 66). You too! =D

@Chloefoxx, thank you ^_^ @thisdisease, hehe already replied to this one too, but so others know if they are also wondering (quote from comment): Well, on average... I've no idea, it depends what I'm making and how pretty I wanna make it. The last one, I made the onigiri (no they were empty, I wanted to get the shape before trying anything) the night before, which took about 30 mins? Then the next day making the other foods took around that amount of time too haha, so I'd say... an hour? ^^;; (I spent like... 2+ hrs on my first one tho, cos it was the first one I'd made, and cutting out the carrot shapes took for-absolutely-ever x_X) ^_^;;

@NuTang, thank you! And same as above ^^;;

@LostSoul13, lol I wasn't sure how long you'd been here for, sorry ^_^;; and well, you have now! XDDDDDDD

@hikarixgaki, (yes this is where I realised I'd answered the wrong question to two people ^^;; -dies-) nope, they were empty, cos I wanted to try making the shapes first, and they worked! Yay! =D I might try putting something in there next time... I bought some ready-to-eat smoked salmon, I'll put some of those in (well, try to at least)! And add nori next time! XDDDDDDD

Hehe yup! The taste will make up for the awful lack of beauty in a plastic lunchbox... I'm still nagging my parents. I think they're giving in slowly! =D

@Kirei, hehe cool XD I do too, although some Jrockers like Gackt, some of his songs sound like Jpop (Vanilla, for example) ^_^;;

Plugs to the beautiful: dave, Silver-dot-, Kirei, ikimashokie, The-Muffin-Man, invisible, Chloefoxx, thisdisease, NuTang, LostSoul13, hikarixgaki
