**Note: Work is totally taking so much of my time since we’re understaffed in the office. I write all day at work and I just feel too drained to think and write/blog whenever I get home lately. Hence, Undercover will be on hiatus for a while. I might pop in now and then to post something should I find the time and will to do so. Thanks~ **
Man, time flies by quickly, doesn’t it? Undercover is now 3 years old! Booyah~
Like my previous anniversary post, I’ll include a brief stats summary for the year that was and a quick preview of things to come. And of course, having a new header is my self-imposed requirement to mark this yearly occasion. ^_^

Lol, I still get a lot of hits from “hayate crossdress” as a search term. It’d be a shame if they won’t be able to find anything related to that. So here you go. xD ;P
Some amusing search terms:
- crossdress paradise (lol, wut?)
- guild wars 2 character art (I don’t even have a single post about this game 8D)
- suou pavlichenko cosplay help (lol)
- garten j-drama (???! I miss Memento)

- kidnapped and tried to crossdress (xD)
- lemons dipped in honey (lol, probably looking for a recipe? too bad he/she got directed to my lovely complex episode summary summary – Koizumi made it for Otani in ep 17 :3)
- revenge “dress him” (someone plotting a revenge? ahahaha)

Welcome to version 7.0! Watanuki, Doumeki, and the enigmatic Yuuko from xxxHolic will grace Undercover’s header until December.
So, what’s coming? Of course, the staples will remain: Anime season previews (Summer preview is in the works), anime series overviews, OP/ED themes posts, first impressions, and random babbles. A review/summary for Moribito book 2 (Guardian of the Darkness) is also on the way. It’s already in the drafts folder, so I’ll try not to be too lazy when I have days off work and finish that draft. Same goes with the series overviews for xxxHolic, Toshokan Sensou, Ookiku Furikabutte, Cross Game and a couple of J-drama digests. A fangirl post about Takagi x Satou from Detective Conan is also halfway done. The episode summaries for the Darker than Black OVAs included in the season 2 DVDs are also on the way, along with the long overdue summary for episode 2 of the Switch OVA (I plan on catching up and watching them this month). There also might be a series of special random fangirl babble posts this month (probably something to do with L’Arc~en~Ciel, seiyuu, and stuff). We’ll see how that pans out. I’m also thinking of catching up with Eden of the East, but that may take a while since I’m still stuck on episode 5. Maybe I’ll just wait until all the movies are done (how many movies are there again? Two?).
I had a bit of a setback with my blogpost plans for the previous year, so most of what’s coming are just restatements of that plan. ^^;; My schedule and workload is still crazy, but I’m quite certain that I’d be able to stick with updating the blog with weekly/monthly blog posts whenever I get some downtime. I’ll keep it at my pace so I won’t get burned out and still find enjoyment in anime blogging for (hopefully) more years to come. 😉
For the past 3 years, it’s been 170,000+ views, 1000+ comments, and 200+ posts. They’re not big numbers, but they’re more than enough to make me glad just knowing that Undercover has come that far.
~THANK YOU for your continued support! ^_^

Yay! Congratulations on your blog anniversary, Hazy! 😀
Thank you for writing great posts! I hope you’ll keep blogging for many more years to come 🙂
hehe That’s a cute Kurama picture 🙂
I also like the new header 🙂 Yuuko has this mysterious look!
haha Some funny search terms you’ve got there 🙂 So many crossdressing terms…
revenge “dress him” What an evil revenge! ahaha XD
Good plan! 🙂 I especially look forward to your Moribito book review 🙂
Yes, keeping it at your own pace and making it enjoyable, rather than work is especially important 🙂
@ Kitsune: Thank you! I hope so too. Glad to hear you like the new header. 🙂
Haha, yeah, it’s uber cute. Kurama is one of my earliest favorite anime characters. And Yuuko is awesome. ^_^
Lol, I can’t believe how much hits I’m getting with “crossdressing” just because of Hayate. And the revenge one… poor guy. xD
Thanks! I’m already working on it. And while waiting for my Moribito book 2 review, you can also check out my [book 1 review]. I think that book 1 post might be helpful should you have the time to watch the anime too. 😉
Yeah, if blogging feels like it’s becoming a task, I think it’s always best to take the time to step back and remember why you loved doing it in the first place. 🙂
Happy one year anniv + one month 😀 Better late than never, right?
@ Space Candy: Haha, yeah. Thanks! ^_^
dropping by hazy~ XD
