I... have classes tomorrow..

2008-05-01T18:12:16Z

Ack. It really feels like a friday.. i keep on forgetting that it's only thursday and that i still have school tomorrow.
And boy.. look at the time.. i still have three hours to sleep.. haha..

but i just can't sleep without asking the following questions.. (altho i know that they're too nonsensical to answer..)

WHY..
.. is AMBITIOUS JAPAN!'s backing track 0.1000% slower than the original song?
.. is Harmony of December's backing track 0.3000% slower than the original song?
.. is WISH's backing track 0.3310% slower than the original song?
.. is Love So Sweet's backing track totally different with the original song?
.. doesn't Taiyou no Namida have it's own backing track?
.. are KinKi Kids' media so freakin' hard to find?
.. doesn't Nagase have a dorama yet?
.. didn't Pi win the Best Actor Award at Nikkan?
.. is Mabo so hot in Musashi, and--
.. does Musashi have to have 49 episodes?
.. don't Toma and Pi just go ahead and release a single as TomaPi?
.. does Yahoo Messenger's smiley icon give off that creepy smile?
.. is it that when MU gives me super duper excellent rates, MF gives me shit?
.. doesn't divshare allow download resuming?
.. is my puppy barking at this time of the night?
.. is it not 20 May yet?
.. am I not sleeping yet?

"i need to awake up at 5am.."

2008-04-28T13:06:32Z

but i wasn't able to..
because..
i DIDN'T sleep at all!
hahaha..

my mom was so so worried she wanted to come with me to school..
she's afraid that i'll fall asleep on the bus and wake up at some far flung place or something.. i said, "don't worry!!" but in truth i was worried as well.
it was my first time going to school without even a minute's sleep. haha..

i was even more worried because even after staying out all night. i still wasn't able to finish my MP.
i went to school and since ALL of us weren't finished with the MP yet, our professor gave us the whole 3 and a half hour period to finish our MP and made sure it worked on the Linux compiler.

to my surprise, my brain's still working quite well.
i was the first one to finish it!
and since i was the first one to finish it, my professor required ME and ONLY me to add some bunch of stuff. mainly for "kaartehan" as he puts it.
hahaha.. my mom told me not to go to work for today, so that i can have some sleep.
*i'm surprisingly an obedient daughter*
hahaha.. it's nice to come home while the sun's still high above your head once in a while. haven't done that in almost a month.
i got home around 11:30am.
ate lunch..
rested for a while before finally deciding to go to sleep.
actually, i still wasn't sleepy.

so, here i am after a five hour sleep. hahaha..
not understanding my body clock anymore.

busy busy

2008-04-26T10:10:10Z

ack.... i hate it when i don't have enough time to spend in front of my PC.
hahaha..

summer class + part-time job = no time for anything else.

btw, the first interview project i signed up for as a timer got released a few days ago. ~~yey~ i finally graduated from PVs!~~
get it while it's still public! enjoy the CRACK.

anyways, i find time to do my diabolical plan for the JE gathering on May.
see, here's the deal. i'm putting romaji subs on various PVs, while retiming and replacing the PV's audio with an instrumental version.. so, it'll just be like a real videoke, (except this time around, you get to see your HOT idols, instead of some bikini clad model starting endlessly as the sun sets.) did you get it? i've always found it hard and tiresome to explain it. LOL
here's what i finished so far:

news - taiyou no namida
arashi - wish
kat-tun - bokura no machi de
v6 - darling

it's very excrutiating work, esp. when i found out that the PV version of Arashi's WISH is .33% faster than the original karaoke version from their single. i also don't use previously karaoked PVs made by other ppl, because most of them use "fancy" fonts, which are convinient only for PC viewing. it'll be a quite difficult to read if you watch it on television. ~~actually, it's just me being OC. coz i want all the videos uniformly subbed.~~ and, i'm very particular about quality. my dLs of doramas have been stalled in place of PVs..

i want to show you a sample of what i've made and ask for comments, criticisms and stuff.. but the problem is.. my upload speed is.. non-exsistent.
i can't even upload an mp3 without multiple trials.

and look!! these are what's left to dL:

zukkoke otokomichi
it's my soul
sukiyanen osaka
ambitious japan
hakka candy
anniversary
kitto daijoubou!
we can make it!
honey beat
samurai
ho summer!
hoshi wo mezashite
sayaendou
dangan fighter
daite señorita
kiss kaerimichi no love song

still alot.. but it's quite encouraging since i started out with 35 songs to dL.
making karaokes out of them.. is another story though. LOL

schlei,

charisma_doll, tagged me.. but i can't answer 'em atm. hahaha.. i can't think of any L words except, TOKIO, Nagase, YamaPi, KinKi Kids, and J-FRIENDS.. all of which are not words starting with L. don't worry. will do.. soon.

tears of Joy..

2008-04-22T15:23:02Z

I've been trying to abstain from posting in LJ for the past 2 weeks..
(Actually, part of the reason why is that I wake up at 5am every morning.. attend my class from 7am-10:30am.. arrive at work at 10:45am.. and leave the place at around 9pm-10pm.. so, i arrive home around 11pm-12mn.. and you get the point.)

but i just can't contain myself anymore!

too much TOMAPI love is killing me!!

and 3TOPS, too!
only Kazapon is MIA!

i can't help writing this up...

"I love him.
I love him for his being always there for you, even after that happened, he was still smiling geniunely from the sidelines for your success.
I love him because you can be yourself when you're with him.
Yamashita Tomohisa, it's good that you are able to express how you feel now.
So, a toast to forever.. *glass clinks*"

i'm sorry if most of you can't relate.. but you must've read yamaPi's recent jweb entries from some place! hahaha... these are the moments that i just feel that i'm the happiest fangurl alive..

birthdays..

2008-04-10T15:24:13Z

this is.. so late.. i know.. but i've been busy as hell with summer term enrolment during my idols' birthdays.
perfect.

i don't really have much time to spare right now.
but i just can't sleep peacefully without seeing a single greeting on my f-list.

don't get me wrong..
i'm very happy.. and have been very much aware that YamaPi is well-loved.
i'm really really glad.
but something's missing still.

To my Ichiban.. ~~although it's not always obvious~~..
Yamashita Tomohisa, Belated 23rd Birthday..
I hope you enjoyed the surprise party we your friends planned for you..
a private relaxing trip to Korea turned out to be something else, huh?
as much as the ruckus it has had caused, i am very proud of your graciousness in handling the situation.
I never really knew how to express how much i love and adore you..
as much as i want to tell the whole world that.. i can't
i'm always at a loss for words whenever i try to describe how i feel for you.
other fandoms have come and gone, but you always remained on top in my book.
i won't ever lose track of your age, as you are on month and ten days older than my aniki. LOL

Dearest Tyuso, i hope you enjoy your last year as a twenty-something.
haters will be haters, and despite all the critics, i'm glad that you're still going strong,
doing the things you do, in the way only you can do.
of all the idols i admire, i've wondered most on what it's like to be in Tsuyo's shoes.
he is a complete paradox... so contradicting, yet makes perfect sense.
to the person who's gifted with The Talent..
to the person who constantly reminds me that idols are human..
to the person who taught me that flaws are strengths.
to the person who proved to me that the faces on TV aren't always facades.
to the person who's never afraid to show the world his frailty...
Happy 29th Birthday, Domouto Tsuyoshi.
i'm not ready to let you go.. *sigh* why is my mentality like this when it comes to KinKi Kids?

i promised myself that this is gonna be just a short one. and that my looooooooong emo rant will come later..
but looked what happened, eh?

something's something..

2008-04-03T17:41:03Z

Dahil na inggit ako kay kuya pao,

killer_jock, dahil lumabas na grades niya..

I decided to try my luck and check CRS.. (or UIS, or whatever they call it nowadays..)
To my surprise, the grades for 4 subjects are available already..

but chotto.. these aren't the grades I want to see!
LOL
those are the subjects that i'm sure i'm already safe with.

But how about my Math 55, Geog 1 and Philo 11!?
LOL.. it may sound hilarious to some that i'm having problems over Geog, and not over my Physics, and Mech Eng'g major..
but it's... ack.. hard to explain. hahaha.
Geog's unoable most of the time.. but I guess, not if you're prof's my prof.

I was quite surprised with my grade in Physics 73 actually.. Hahha.. it's the highest i've had so far. and the highest it will remain, bcoz from now on, it's good bye NIP.. good bye Physics buildings..
I've already said good bye to the Math Building.. demo.. my grades aren't out yet. Hahaha.. and as easy as the Final exams were.. I still am not confident with the outcome bcoz I studied only for less than an hour for the exam. Hahaha.. i got lazier than i usally am.
gah.. i think i deserve more on my Physics 73.1, and English 11.. just bcoz i exerted tons of effort on those courses.. but well.. grades are not based on efforts.. well, at least not entirely.

on the other side of things..
it was quite a shock when i received an SMS from an HS friend of mine the other day.
a close friend's father passed away..
whenever death is the issue.. i become so scared.. not because i remember something hurtful.. but basically bcoz i'm dealing with unfamiliar ground.

and what do you say to a friend who just lost someone?
i've visited quite a number of my HS friends who've lost a parent..
and i never can seem to find the right words to say..

it was almost midnight, and we were still mindlessly chatting about various stuff.
it's been awhile since we got together.. we've been so busy with our own programs, in our own schools..
we talked casually as if nothing's happened.. we talked as if we will see each other at school the next day, and fool around like we always did.
it's ironic how death can bring ppl together..

Tito Mendel, I'm sure you're very proud of your son, as he is of you.. I pray for your eternal repose. You will be missed, greatly.

ack. and why am i yapping continually about HS days? since i'm going on to my junior year, do i really feel as if i'm getting old already? LOL

i was flailing over Okada and Tsutsumi the other day since i just finished SP, and am currently stalling watching Hakusen Nagashi bcoz it hurts me so.. but wth.. that will be reserved for another post.

i am PATIENT..

2008-03-27T12:43:25Z

i am LYING.

I've been reading so many things about ProDai's SP since yesterday..
and I'm so happy for Pi..
18.4%!!
Hahha.. Well, I've learned not to base the quality of a dorama solely on ratings, it's just that,
these things keep the projects pouring in for my idols.
I'm not implying that I think ProDai SP isn't good, in fact, I've been reading lots of good reviews on it.
and that makes me even happier!

I've read that the ending's wrapped up nicely. GOOD. Because WTH is up with the series' ending?
And watching ProDai hurt me a lot.. It's like Utahime.. the impact on me is.. *words fail*
I can't even rewatch those two doramas even if i miss Kenzou and Taro..
maybe some other time, when I forgot how painful it is to watch the both of them.

I'm normally this calm when it comes to good news about Pi..
It's.. how do i explain it?
It's the type of feeling wherein all you can do is smile silently.. contented.. for the good news.
It's like I'm personally telling Pi, "I knew you could do it."

BUT.. as calm as I may seem to be.. I am seeing uploads of RAWS for the SP already.. and I.. want to wait for Love Song's release before I watch it!

*cries*

YamaP.. I am very happy for you.. I wish you only the success that you want in life..
and I'm sure, seeing how seriously you take your job, this one means a LOT to you.

*sits by patiently*
I want ProDai SP..!
I want Kurosagi the Movie..!
I want Mabo's cooking!
I want a Nagase dorama this year!
I want Leader to get married soon!
I want to finish my mechanism construction project soon!
I want to pass all my subjects!

MABO.. How? Why? When? Where? To what extent?

2008-03-25T09:56:29Z

How did this happen?
I didn't notice right away..
This is what happens of you watch too much Japanese TV shows.
I've LOVED TOKIO and all its members for quite sometime now, I think no one's questioning that..
But everyone also knows that I am a Nagase Fangurl... and a rabid one at that.
I love Mabo.
I love Gussan.
I love Taichi.
and gawd, do I love Leader.

I watched the Ai no Apron SPs of 2oo6,2oo7, and 2oo8.. consecutively.
And as much as I am amused by the fact that my Ichiban might as well be a worse cook than I am (I have never cooked anything yet in my life, so I wouldn't really now..),
I am very much impressed by this certain person who sweeps everybody off their feet with his cooking. Even his opponent says he's, "Kakkoi~"
MABO, why are you so HOT and yet COOL at the same time?

and in case it ain't that obvious, I have a weakness for guys who know how to cook.

Ahhhh.. When did this happen?
Is it because I watched Akechi VS Kindaichi a few days after , Ai no Apron?
Is it because of the many picspams you've had had in

tokio_suki?
Is it because you're relationship with your girlfriend is officially publicized? (this reason would be ironic)
I mean, I totally can't take my eyes off you and Nagase in that SP.
I think.. I actually flailed more because of you, then Baby~ (or is it just because of more screen time, perhaps?)

Where did this obsession actually start?
Huwaah.. I know you're not that confident about your voice, Mabo..
But listening to Sugarless Love, and seeing you (almost.. just almost) strip teasing at the 2oo2 con makes me squeal with glee.
I've been listening to all of J-FRIENDS' songs these days, and I'm always waiting for your voice to flood my room.

This is getting totally out of hand.. To what extent will this Mabo-High reach?
I'm not a fan of Taiga doramas, they take forever to dL, and although I've once taken a keen interest in Japanese History, I've never really been a history buff enough to dL 49 freakin' episodes.
But I'm thinking of snagging Musashi off jdramas.

*cries in a corner*
It's a good thing 10serenity, ain't that much oL lately. else, I'd be killed.

On another note..
I dunno how it is on your part of the world, but I tell you this, in my case, it's about 5-6 times faster than my normal rates, now if only MU would give me the same rates, I'd be overjoyed. My upload rates still suck, tho. For some reason..
Holy Week break's over, and I hoped that this is not just caused by all the offices and computer shops in nearby areas closing for the week,
so far, my connection's still as stable as that.

Oh, and my torrent speed still ain't put into account in that.

Oh, and mom bought me a new air condition! Finally.. and just in time for Summer!

Big Money.. Real Big Money..

2008-03-23T05:16:46Z

I've finally found the time to watch a dorama!!!
I've watched nothing but countdowns and Ai no Apron Specials last Thursday and Friday..
and I've finally finished Big Money, and watched it the whole day yesterday.

First things first..
Would I recommend Big Money?
NO.
why?
Because i don't want every single person falling head over heels over Nagase. LOL
Seriously.. Can a man look any HOTTER!? Even his flaws look HOT!
My mom sometimes sits by me when i was watching and she suddenly said, "The lead actor is good looking."
And i can only smile silently to myself and I answered, "~~Mochiron~~ Of course."
FINALLY, SHE ACKNOWLEDGED SOMEONE FROM MY FANDOM!! LOL
That is a rare thing. Really, I think she said that Toma and YamaP looked good, too. *TomaPi rabu*

So, back to topic.
I don't know anything about stocks.. and after watching, i still don't really know.
But WTH, the excitement! It's indescribable. LOL
They deal with Millions as if their just grains of rice.
It's too frightful for me.. to be that wealthy.

I don't really get what they're planning, but for some reason or other, i got soooo excited.
The series starts out a little slow-paced but the latter half proves otherwise.

It's a nice watch espiecially if you're looking for something different.
Wikipedia says "human drama",, so, if you're that certain person who stays away from that theme (AKA

charisma_doll).. i advise you to watch this despite of it.

Although, I gotta admit, after watching this series, I understood why there were alot critics on this certain Kurosagi Episode..
You know, the one dealing with the broker..? Hahaha..

Oh, and i find the cast beautiful.. I dunno.. I mean, that's how i would describe them.. all of them.. beautiful.
and i really like Kohinata Fumiyo's acting. Hehhe.. i respected his character in Attention Please.. and he's so BADASS in Big Money.. in a cute way. And what's more is that he has worked with Kudo Kankuro more than once, and that's a big plus.

and did i mention that Babe speaking in English is HOT?
LOL

Thanks, Vulcan 300 for undertaking this project! With all the technical terms, i imagine that it's no easy feat translating this dorama.

the Man behind the drums.. who now probably holds a mic only once a year..

2008-03-19T00:04:29Z

Hnnn..
i was telling ate tina (

camr_jemr) of how Mabo used to look like as a kid..
i was spazzing about the recent SCP episode yesterday, and we went to the topic of Gussan having a child soon, and i added that i hope Mabo will have one, too.. and soon. i also added that i can already imagine how his child is gonna look like if it's male.
i noted how Inocchi didn't much change ever since his teens, and also relatively Gussan, Leader, Sakamoto, Nagano, and Taichi, compared to Nagase and Mabo. i mean, Nagase and Mabo are "cutey-cute" kids.. the local term's "totoy" LOL..
she hasn't seen his chibi-pic yet..

ate tina, this is esp. for you.. for those who haven't seen him yet.. i advise you to CLICK.

for those who haven't seen a glimpse of Chibi-Mabo before.. would you actually believe that with that face, he'll turn out as how he is today!?

just for the sake of comparison..

I LOVE HIM.. Mabo, pls create lots of Lil' Mabos!!!

Bubble Tea.. without Bubbles..

2008-03-18T14:04:14Z

Hahaha.. I have a major Physics exam tomorrow.. and what home did i come home? 9PM +!
good _naki..
my class ended 2:30 this afternoon.. so what did i do with the rest of my time?
met with eloiza and ate tina, and with meann, and with ysa and boots.. and with yori.. and with yubi.. and with lhukhe, and kuya pao.. and with my new found friend, angelica.. HAHAHA.. we destroyed the silence of Bubble Tea.. and tho it's my first time there.. i found out that it's an "again" for them. LOLz
what did we do? fangurl of course.. LOL
it was more of a spontaneous meeting.. it was only supposed to be a meet up bcoz ysa is selling something to angelica.. and it turned out into hours of fangurling. i spent about an hour (?) staring at this certain Yamaguchi mag clipping.. and just thought.. "I want to see your child soon!"
so now.. i'm ranting all these to you.. without any intentions of studying.. yet.

my allergies are starting to annoy me again..
maybe it's bcoz of the two servings of choco milk tea (the other one without bubbles, but with egg pudding. LOL) that i've had? maybe i'm allergic to chocolates? or milk? or tea? or maybe all three of them?

come to think of it.. i have my daily intake of all of them.. so, maybe that's why i also have my daily allergy attack.. hahaha..

i had fun ppl!
Sana tuloy tayo sa Makati next time!

SCP!!!

2008-03-16T14:15:02Z

sorry for updating twice today.

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME EARLIER!?
besides the fact that i forgot that it's sunday today, i didn't know who the guests were.

my friend suddenly PMed me and told me that some members of TOKIO are guests on tonight's SCP.

i ran to the TV..
and i scanned through channels 48 and above.. bcoz i forgot what channel NHK is through my panic.

and suddenly.. Taichi's face popped up.
and then, Sakamoto.. and then Nagano..
and then, i thought.. but that's not TOKIO!

and then, Leader..
and i scratched my head in confusion.
and then the camera panned to Inocchi, and finally Gussan.

i went back to my PC to spam my friends with my ramblings.

and when i went back to the TV..
i saw a very chibi Taichi performing some song. LOLz

he was laughing at it as if he can't believe that it's him.

it's funny to note that in all SCPs he has been watching everyone else's old vids.
and now that it's him,, he's laughing like hell.

and the five of them BACK DANCED! (i dunno why Gussan wasn't there)
Hahahaha.. Leader and Sakamoto still has the moves! LOL

my friend told me that 20th Century performed. i missed that part.

huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~ somebody translate this SCP episode~!
onegai!

and somebody explain to me why they are tonight's guests!

random bits and fandomness..

2008-03-16T09:46:20Z

ahhhhhhhhhh~

two exams down, and 6 major ones to go!
everybody else's seem to be over already.. *sigh*
i was almost late on my morning exam yesterday.. take note, almost.. it's an improvement!
so, my Physics test was from 7AM-9AM..
and my math exam? 4:30PM-6PM.
I never welcomed a 7 hour break before..
but now, it's all right because i haven't even touched a leaf of my math notebook as of 10AM that Saturday..
Series and sequences! bah! do they really have a practical application!?
hahaha.. but i have my fave series..

it's called the HYPER HARMONIC SERIES..
or otherwise known as..

the ~~YAMA~~P-SERIES!!

so, my friends and i thought of a place conducive to studying.
but all that i did was pick the tomatoes out of my Taco Salad, and get high on Bottomless Iced Tea.
it's hard not to get high on Iced Tea when you stay on ChoKiss for about.. *counts* 5 hours to study.

as the TOKIO fangurl that i am, i can't help but smile whenever i remember ate tina ( camr_jemr ) telling me a few weeks ago that this is TOKIO's year when i told her that TOKIO's gonna be relaeasing a new album, and will have a concert tour on March..
true enough..

    * TOKIO, after not touring for more than a year, will have another tour in the summer, after they finish their ongoing sugar Concert Tour.
    * Nagase is filming for a movie that will be released next year.
    * They recently released a mini-album, sugar. i'm so happy that it reached the top 10 of the charts since it has only 7 songs.
    * Altho Leader's Ai no Apron is ending, he's gonna have a new show entitled, "Leader's How-to Book." Yes, i am still amused by the notion that Leader is going to TEACH something..
    * Taichi won the Mainichi Film Award for Best Actor for Shaberedomo Shaberedomo. He got a SKYLINE COUPE from Nissan as his prize. *cries* it's red.. it's a fairly new model.. it's a skyline.. it's a coupe. *cries some more*
    * Taichi is also having a new TV show, entitled "Taichi x Kentaro Danshi Gohan." With this new show, Taichi has at least one show in all MAJOR BROADCASTING NETWORKS, namely: "Kaitai Shin Show" and "The Shonen Club Premium" on NHK; "MentoreG" on FujiTV; "The Tetsuwan DASH" and "Guruguru Ninety Nine" as a semi-regular on NTV; "Aura no Izumi" on TV Asahi; "R30" on TBS; and the new "Taichi x Kentaro Danshi Gohan" on TV Tokyo [thanks to luxvesperis for the info.] Add that with all of TOKIO's works, *sigh* and he updates his JWEB DAILY, too! I LOVE YOU, TAICHI.
    * and of course, Yamaguchi got married!! and his wife is expecting a baby on summer! Yey! sempai-Higashi congratulated Gussan.. saying that another one of his younger brothers has mercilessly left him behind. hahaha.. i've seen the clip when he first announced it on their first concert day.. "I, Yamaguchi, got married at 10 AM this morning." the rxn of the fans were.. absolutely amazing. as an idol, he must've felt really relieved that the fans were so jovial.

and more than just that, dorama-wise,
SARS recenly finished Mukodono 2oo3,
Vulcan300, and DoReMii have also picked up Nagase doramas.
actually, Big Money is already completely subbed by Vulcan300,
and they're gonna start Handoku on April!
DoReMii just released Episode 2 of DxD! Yey for more corny effects, and chibi-Nagase and chibi-Okada~!!

as a Nagase fangurl, this is a realy dream come true! there are a lot of Nagase doramas that are unknown to the english-speaking fandom, bcoz noone has subbed it.
i mean, DxD was what.. 1997?
as Utahime was announced last year, me and some fangurls were having doubts if anyone is going to pick it up as a subbing project, especially since it's in Tosa-ben. that's why i'm so thankful for siantut's efforts! too bad she stopped subbing already..

GUSSAN!!

2008-03-08T15:39:31Z

so it IS confirmed!!

different sources compelled me to think so, despite the absence of an Official Johnny's Announcement as of yet.

sorry if i'm flooding your f-page..

i knew this day is special..
(add the fact that i saw a IWGP=Nagase+ChibiPi magazine cover!! ahhh~)

i just didn't expect it to be THIS great!

after Inocchi.. now, it's Gussan..!!
he's getting married to a 31 year old model, who he has been in a relationship with for 8 years!
it's fantastic..
it's just-- *sigh*

and it's about time, i guess.. he's gonna be 40 in less than 5 years!
~~let's not count Leader's time left to 40.. onegai..~~
i'm just so happy.
the news clearly caught me by surprise..

various emotions suddenly filled my head.
it's as if i'm the one who's getting married.. (duh.. like, i wish..)

i've always been waiting for news like this from the guys..
i wonder how local fans react to this?

i'll be right here, Gussan.. waiting for news of you teaching your child how to surf.

ahhhhhhhh~ i want to see a picture of the lucky lucky girl..

i pray for their happiness..

speaking of Gussan..
does anybody have a proper scan of this!?

oh.. and this one, too!!? with Massu and Pi~ kyaaa~!!!

*sigh*
i wonder when Riider's time will come?
LOL.. i've said it before.. and i'll say it again.
Leader.. i'll wed you anytime. hahaha.

tomo_naki @ 2008-03-08T19:28:00

2008-03-08T11:42:07Z

hahaha..
i was so tired yesterday to continue my acad rant
with a fangurl rave. LoL

here goes..

i've watched bits and pieces of Isshun..

HASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *breathes* JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!

huwaaah.. he was amazing.. totally..
i want to see my dearest 4TOPS more!!
i'm glad to see how Toma is doing.. not only in doramas.. but moreoever.. in plays.
and to hell with the rumours of Pi being

and yeah, i've to admit that i came to appreciate Uchi more after watching the SP.

and lhukhe09.. i hope you really did enjoy your day..
i was really happy that the plan that started from one innocent little statement from camr_jemr pushed thru well. hahaha..
it was fun.. i mean how often do you get to do a neokki kanjani8 style?
hahaha..

oh, i dunno how many sempai fans are on my f-list..
demo.. does anyone have Higashiyama's SCP ep!?!?
since i'm fairly new to fangurling over Higashi.. i only knew of late that he guested in SCP before..
and, no.
i refuse to accept that he is 41. nada.. *sigh*

oh, and my dad left for Japan earlier this morning..
and my imouto's getting depressed over it.. bcoz it just happens to be her school break next week,, and she can't go with him.

guess what i asked for my pasalubong..
yeah, like i'm not predictable.
i hope he will be able to find it..
i mean, these are the few times that i'm thankful that TOKIO has its name spelled with english letters, and for their album to have an english name as well. LOL

if all goes well, i'm going to own my sugar copy sooner than expected!
.. bcoz it takes ages for it to appear in HMV.. (not to mention it's gonna be more expensive)
.. and i have no online buying capabilities (LOL) as of now..

hnnn.. i wonder if TOKIO 5ROUND I is still available in stores in Japan?
i was the one to snag the last copy of 5ROUND II in HMV, but the first DVD was no more.

i still don't have the time to watch Jdoramas.. or even read the novels i bought a few months ago~
it's funny still, that i get no acad work accomplished. LOL

*sigh* so much to do.. with so little time..
that's why i oftentimes feel that sleeping is a waste of time.. bcoz i'm better off doing something else.
ack. but sleeping is a necessity as is eating and breathing and whatnot.

speaking of things to do.. i'm glad i got one major activity done and over with earlier this afternoon. our play was a success!
i really had fun.. hahaha.. and super bonding at ChoKiss afterwards...
after i finish my long paper and my investigative project report and presentation.. i can finally rest,... err-- i mean.. i can finally study for my math and physics exams... and philo and geog.. and.. *sigh*

and to my main point. ~~what an intro...~~
today's a very special day.
for me and both my fave idols.
i consider this the day that i got lured into the addictive web of JE..
it's only been a year.. but it feels as if i knew them longer..
and today is the first day of TOKIO's tour.. (after almost 2 years.. yaparri!)
i almost considered buying the tickets to the 25 March con, that's posted in to_ki_o, demo.. my finals are not yet over by then.. so, i will have to pass this time.

and of course, the ~~worldwide~~ national premiere of Kurosagi the Movie..
the first lead role of YamaP in a movie.. ureshii~
i have big expectations for this movie..
i know that dearest Pi is not the best actor around.. what i do hope to see is his acting skills greatly improved.. honey, you may not be the best.. but you're always going to be, in thine eyes.. (wth? Shakespeare is taking its toll on me.) what i do not want to see is.. having YamaP performing satisfactorily just to have the scriptwriter, the production team, the director, and/or the other actors destroying the film. i do not want him to have negative critics that are not of his doing.
it would be easier to accept that way.

some ppl may misunderstand.. it may seem that i am already expecting kurosagi not to make it big.. it's not that. but this film is going to be a major aspect in YamaP's career.. whether for better or for worse.. that's the reality of it. if he didn't do well, and the public didn't accept it,, then, in a way, depressing it may be.. he will learn something.. but if he did well, and everybody else ruined the film.. it will still be him who will be criticized more than half of the time.

am i analyzing too much?

PS.. CRS semi-loves me.. i got two out of my three pre-enlisted subjects.. but the one i didn't get is the one i really really need to take. oh the irony.

Vacation.. Here I Come... NOT!

2008-03-07T08:50:17Z

*sigh*

This almost always happens to me..
...
..
.
..
...
ok.. scratch that.
this ALWAYS happens to me.

*sigh*

i'm getting tired of going to school.
barely two more weeks of classes.. and i can't stand it anymore.

and there's so much to do.. i dunno where to start.
*sigh*
and 50% of it is for a freakin' English course!!

don't get me wrong.. my Eng 11 is fun. i've learned ALOT in that course..
it's just that.. there's SO much to do.. and there's so little time left.

i still have.. *counts* four Long Exams and five Final Exams left..

my prof in a major subject didn't meet us for more than a MONTH! and i dunno why..
she just came in yesterday.. with no explanation whatsoever.. and she's still going to push thru discussing all the lessons that we've missed in the THREE meetings we have left.. (note: it took the other class TWO MONTHS to discuss all that. how the heck are we going to absorb it all in a week and a half? plus there's the construction and synthesis of the four-bar linkage that we need to do.. i was excited about it. but i didn't expect that we have to work our arses off Holy Week to do it.)

and don't the Math and the Physics Department just have fun in seeing their Engineering students suffer? LOL
i remember it was the same last year..
our Chem and Physics Long Exams were on the same day.. and so is our Physics and Math Finals exams. Toxic.. really toxic.
now, i don't wonder why i've never passed a Final Exam under the College of Science in my two years of UP life. (yes.. i firmly believe that there must be some other reason rather than my intellectual incapacity. hahaha.. don't ask tho, how i am able to reach the final courses of my Math and Physics series.)
this time around.. our second long exam in Math and Physics overlapped each others' schedule.. and most of us had to take double conflict exams.
so is our upcoming math exam and physics lab finals.. also overlapping each other.. it's a good thing that the math department decided to move their exam in the afternoon.. i think.
and finally.. i saw our finals week schedule!!
and what do you know? our math and physics finals share the same date!!!
again!! LOL
it's good that there's no chem to meddle with us anymore.. but still *sigh*
there are six days of final examinations.. why the heck do they have to be on the same day!?

EDIT: i just double-checked my finals sched.. and my freakin' Philo 11 Finals will also be on the same day as my math and Physics Finals!!
Why Logic of all other subjects i have..!?!?
exams from 7:00 in the morning to 1:30 in the afternoon..
ain't that just fabulous!?

hahaha...well, that's just me ranting about overlapping exam schedules.. bcoz i'm still feeling too lazy to study. ~~when am i not!?~~

TOKIO, sugar, 4TOPS, HaseJun, atbp.

2008-02-26T14:48:25Z

isn't sugar supposed to make you high?
why then, is this sugar making me cry?

i dunno why.. i was sooooo emotional about TOKIO's new song.. even if i can't understand more than half of what's being said.
especially on the refrain part. the melody's so strong. i love the sudden shift.

人だかりで　　立ち止まって　　それでも旅はまだ続いてて
hitodakari de tachidomatte soredemo tabi wa mada tsuzuitete
陽の明かりが消える前に　　気付いてまた次を探している
hi no akari ga kieru mae ni kizuite mata tsugi wo sagashiteru

full lyrics, romanization, and translation at to_ki_o (linked directly above), by luxvesperis

i guess this is what i would really consider, example of good poetry. the emotions portrayed are able to transcend the langauge barrier.

and i love how Tomo-baby sings the two new songs differently.. it's not his Sorafune, SEISYuN, or Honjitsu, Mijukumono voice.. but more of the Run Free voice. hahahaha..

i said it elsewhere before.. but sugar really appealed to me personally, besides it's meaning.. the arrangement of the song itself.
how it starts off acoustic-ish.. and becomes alternative-rock-ish by the refrain and chorus.. it's realyl love at first "hear" when i dLed the preview of the song from Taichi's radio show.
my band and i started out acoustically.. and i must admit, up til now, i much prefer that. that's why i love that there's the acoustic touch at the start.

on with another emotional rant.
4TOPS!!!!! i LOVE them! i MISS them!
REUNION pls!
i just watched Isshun no Kaze ni Nare, and wow, i was impressed on how.. like Toma, he's a natural in acting. and his HAIR. oh, i love his hair!
and then, lhukhe09 played an old recommen clip wherein Pi, Toma, and HaseJun make fun of Kazapon. LOL
and i was checking various blogs.. i came across a mag with Toma and Pi side by side in a page!!!
well, Kame's there.. and he's hot there, too.. but TomaPi!!
and then, charisma_doll told me about that Kazapon is in a new play! LOL. i dunno if it's old or new news.. but nevertheless, Kazapon, dearie.. you don't need to worry about being a NEET.

ja~
i'm going back to the corner to cry my heart out because of sugar.

JE Post-Valentine's Gathering 'o8 and then some more..

2008-02-24T06:13:00Z

WHAT!?!??! _naki is having an update!? as in she's posting an entry!?
AN ENTRY!?

yeah. LOL
hahaha..

it's just bcoz i'm quite hyper.
i am still not over the enjoyment of yesterday's gathering.
i'm so happy oji~ came.. and that cess was there.. ~~pukes~~

despite the lil headache from the smoke from the hanabi.. it was FUN.
oh yeah, Hanabi~ we had hanabi! hahaha..

LOL
and despite the sleepless week and all.. it was all worth it.
Yza, ate Teru, Meann, Lhukhe, ate Tina.. thanks for welcoming me~
it's nice to take a break from the toxic academic life that circles me most of the time.

Cess, Ate Mellie, Lhukhe, ate Tina, Meann.. kamusta naman ang bonding til midnight? hahaha

to everyone who came! thanks so much! we were overwhelmed by your numbers, your enthusiasm, and your participation!

to those who missed it.. if you're a certain person who should be giving me pocky~ come next time.. with a box of it!

if you're a certain person whom i promised a dorama copy.. next time! promise. sadyang busy lang ako.

if you're a certain person who got scared of me in the forums.. don't worry.. you got to know me.. i'm much less evil in person, deshou? ~~say yes.. or else!~~

i knew. the moment i listened to Hakka Candy.. i knew it.
sooner or later, i'm going to be sucked into the vortex of KinKi Kids fandom.
after Tsuyo made me all too emotional in J-FRIENDS' Boku no motsu ai no subete.. i just totally invariably knew it!
a chibi Tsuyo uchiwa still exists in very good condition~ *surprised*
now i'll truly cry if i still will be able to get my hands on a TOKIO uchiwa.
i don't even care if it's Riider's! i love Leader. LOL

if i continuously remain in the mood. i might update every once in a ~~blue moon~~ while.
para hindi ako masabihang leecher. j/k
i am more active in comms than in my own journal,, just because.

PS does anyone have a Globe 3MBPS wired connection plan? if you do, contact me!!

of sleepless nights.. and first posts..

2008-01-25T17:30:21Z

i can't sleep.
that means i prolly won't be able to go to work again tomorrow.
what's new there, huh?
but tonight, i'm not just not sleepy.. i'm bored.
maybe that's why i decided to do something to my LJ for once.
well, it's not really something to totally fuss about..
just some background info about myself, and the reason why this journal even exists.
this might just be a one time thing..
i might update again, i might not.
but either way, at least i've posted something for once in my life.
warning.. it's very heavy on text and text alone.
