Saturday, 31 May 2003 ♥♥ 10:24 a.m.

^-^ I have finally found a way to translate all the Junno articles. It's quite simple actually. Stupid me for not having thought of that before. DOH! So now, and for the next few days, I will dedicate all of my life to the Junno website again. ^-^ So I won't be blogging. T_____T The things I do for Junno... *sigh* Oh and I have to study a major kanji test and and make a composition for Japanese. >_< No time to blog. Grrrhhh.

But yesterday was wonderful, though. ^-^ Fufufufufufu. I'm so happy. Happy. Happy. Happy. XD Ssshhhhh... mustn't get too excited. ^^

JENN
Just thought I'd leave you a message here... since this message doesn't quite fit in anywhere in your website... ^^;;; Hahahahaha. I've been reading your blog about the Pippo-Johnny's connection! XD That is such a coincidence that you and I met and we both like Pippo and Johnny's... and also the other fan from Singapore! XD Omigod. Maybe I should make Pippo join Johnny's instead. (Hohoho! ^o^ Terry's going to stomp me! ^^;;;) Oh, and, if Tsuba wants to go to Milan, I'd gladly be his guide. He will definitely love it there. But does he always shop in expensive stores? I think I read once in your Talk in 2002 or somewhere in your site, that Tsuba doesn't mind if the shop is exclusive or not, as long as he finds something that he likes he will buy it. Right?? 'Cause I'd rather take him to shop in Rome. XD They have all the same stores as they do in Milan and even more and sometimes the prices are lower. @_@ (Why this fashion talk, Amy?! ^^;;;) I WANT TO GO SHOPPING WITH TSUBASA! Maybe next time I should make Tsubasa & Tsubami Shopping Monogatari??? ^^;;; Kyaa. I'll bet that Tsuba will buy more than me. XD Huah. ~~

Oh, Jenn, another thing: Pippo doesn't have a girlfriend. (I just found out. @_@) All the girls he's with, they're all flings.

TERRY
PLUG: Illuminations **NEW LAYOUT**
You're right. I really should stop taking rumors about him and these Italian showgirls seriously. >_< 'Cause last I read he was dubbed "ONE OF *THE* MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELORS" in Italy by the gossip magazines. @_@ Hah. That Laura girl. She's old story. The new story is Sebastien Frey's ex-wife! Gah. And then there's this thing with another girl... I forgot her name. Angela, someone? Not mentioning Cosmanna Ardillo. Kyaaa. Yabai. I really should go there and make him settle down, ne? ^-^ (Oh but then again my Baby Bunny will be jealous. Hee, hee... XD)
By the way, about your layout, I really like Tacchi there. ^-^ Buffon's face is not too clear but I still can't make up my mind whether I think he's more good-looking now or before (when he was younger. =P LOL!) I simply adore your polkadots. It's cute! ^-^ So cheerful!

YONA
PLUG: Booty Talk **NEW LAYOUT**
Yonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......... I LIKE YOUR LAYOUT! I'm in a yellow-mode now. I'm wearing a yellow halter top, yellow sandals and have been using my mom's yellow cell phone... ALL IN TRIBUTE TO YOUR TSUBAKA LAYOUT!!! XD Kewl. It really does look summer-y. I want to use a summer layout too, but I think I'll stick to this one first.
Oh and is that the same guy you have in your layout?! Is he the same guy who inspired people to lick his tummy on your previous layout? Is this his evil twin?! XD Nyahahaha... You know which pic I love most: the third one. Far right. *melt* That's just so cute. CUTIE!!! *kiss monitor again* (Eep, Yona, yabai! Your layouts make me kiss the monitor over and over again! XD)

KAR-KUN
Yesterday was fun, huh? We thoroughly gossiped about people. XD Huahahaha. I have so many things to tell you but I'll just write you an e-mail instead. It's too private to talk about here. Ssshhhh. Hahaha. Did you get your Crepes yesterday? You know what, when I entered the car, my dad asked me suspiciously, "Have you been to Starbucks again?" He just *knows*, man. He knows I'm addicted so whenever I come home from anywhere, he just keeps asking me whether I've been to Starbucks or not. XD Oh by the way, you saw Joko clearly yesterday, didn't you? He was the guy who answered my questions about the magazine. He still looks smart-ass-y but his attitude has become better. That's probably because I pester him so much on the phone and every time I come there. Hahaha. Evil me. Oh and, why don't you make an unofficial fansite for Toma?! CECE WOULD BE HAPPY! hahaha. She's looking all the support she can get for Toma. (Cece, hey, this guy's turned to be a big, big, big Toma fan... I'm sure if he sees Shokura he'll be even crazier. XD)

CECE
I hope you're recovering from state of zombie-ness. ^^;; Eh, wait! Dr. Toma can cure you... XD Cece, we need to go to Japan and become their bodyguards. They need our protection! (HOW POSSESSIVE CAN WE GET?! XD) Surely with us as bodyguards, they will be safe from ANYTHING... BUT US! LOL! Hee. The idea is so freaky. But let's try it anyway. ^-^

CLA
Just answering your past messages. I haven't got July Myojo. Have you seen it? Did you grab it?? ^^;; What's inside? You know, problem is: I'm actually not to keen on buying Myojo. It's just my least favorite magazine of all the Johnny's magazine out there. LOL! (Sorry again to all Myojo fans...) So I just subscribe to the "by sea" one. =P LOL. By the way, who shouted in your class?! XD He/she shouted AC Milan won? Yeah, they did all right. Feel sorry for Juve, tho. Those two teams are my favorite. All the good players are there. Cla, so you won't be coming back soon to Indo?? Suddenly, I'm feeling quite curious and want to meet you. Maybe I should go to Singapore to meet you... also meet the other Johnny's fans there. ;) When's the SARS thingie going to be over?! >_< I can't travel anywhere!!!

YUKA
PLUG: Private Heartz
Yuka, thanks for visiting. I know your website from before already. I've been visiting it for quite some time now to read the news but I didn't sign the guestbook. Hee. Sorry. =P Your website is very resourceful for all Johnny's fans. Keep up the good work.

Okay, that was a long social-blog. I don't usually do that. But oh well. =P There's something else I wanted to say. I forgot. I'll write when I remember. But if I don't remember, I won't blog again until... Tuesday morning. Next week is also going to be a long, long week again. So many appointments. Already I have to meet Sakai-san and Poppy again. Then I have to arrange Puteri's schedule for Pemilihan Wajah Femina. And the Japanese lesson is at full schedule next week since there won't be any public holidays. @_______@ Oh well, at least when I get very tired, I can sleep better. ^-^

Now, when is Sita going to arrive?? =O

Thursday, 29 May 2003 ♥♥ 09:41 p.m.

I just had a super lousy 72 hours. Friggin sheat.

What's with the football talk on my Tagboard? ^^;;; Milan, Juve, Champions League... ^^;;; I didn't know we're in a CL-mode here! ^-^ So shall we talk about it?? No, no. Me dun wanna talk abt the game (I sound like someone ^^;; Nyahahahahahaha... blah. Bad grammar. XD) Me wanna talk about The Extremely Handsome People who graced the field. ^-^

*mad scream* KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
FILIPPO INZAGHI & ALESSIO TACCHINARDI ARE SO DAMN GORGEOUS!!!
ABSOLUT HANDSOMENESS!
Lion. Tora.
They just rock.

Now before anyone thinks I'm one of those girls who only like soccer because of the players' looks, well, let me tell you, I'm not.
Right now I don't want to talk about the game. I didn't watch it. How could I talk about it?! ^^;; Haha. Besides, I had my eyes only on two people in that game. Pip and Tac. The Dynamic Duo of Milan and Turin. ^-^ Heh, heh. Two of the DDG-est men alive. They're just so, so appealing. Attractive. PHWOARRR. Kiss kiss. I can't stop myself.
Thank God I decided to check out the game for a while last night (morning??) Hohohoho. ^o^ I didn't want to see the game at all, so I only checked it out when I thought it was safe to see (I consulted the teams' official websites first. =P LOL!) Anyway, halftime was 0-0 so I thought it wouldn't hurt to see a bit of the second half. THANK GOD I DID!!! Omigod. The first thing I saw on TV was Tacchi's cute face. Argh. He was closed-up by the camera... for almost a minute... maybe it was more than a minute!!! They showed him again later on... then they played. And then Pippo did an attempt on goal but failed. They focused on him. CLOSE-UP! Oh yes!!! ^-^ ESPN IS SO GENEROUS!!! (Unlike NHK. ;( Hah. Why don't they ever keep the camera still on Junno?!) Then there was a corner kick. Tac guarded Pip, man-to-man. Tac was practically hovering over Pip. Pip was like trying to get away but Tac kept following him. The camera focused on their expectant, wary faces for a long, long time before the kick was executed.
The two of them together really made a good scenery. The impact was big. I didn't nosebleed, but I gasped and then felt weak on the knees that I had to sit down on the couch. My heart skipped a beat when I saw them in the same screen. I didn't even blink for several seconds. Heavenly, heavenly moment! ^-^ (I really wish Francesco Coco could play for either Juve or Milan! >_< Why does he have to move to Inter Milan?! That's like my biggest nemesis in football. I plain loathe that team. COCO-NUT, GET YOUR AZZ TO TURIN AND PLAY FOR JUVE! Nesta is already in Milan... ~_~ Now when will I ever see the four Laurentiis brothers in the team?! Sucky. They don't even play together in the national team.)
When I found out the game was going on extra-time, I just scurried to insert a tape into the VCR. Huah. I wanted to see more cute guys. Usually when a game goes into a extra-time/golden goal, they'd show the players on the interval before the extra-time commence. I think the footballers look hottest here because they have this anxious look on their faces but you can just tell they're more determined during these moments because it's a matter of life and death for them. I find their serious faces very attractive. So I decided to record. ^-^ So I recorded like the last hour or so of the broadcast. I even recorded from two channels... one from ESPN and another on from the local TV, RCTI. I noticed sometimes one shows the intervals longer than the others (damn commercial breaks).
I was right.
ESPN cut the broadcast soon after the trophy presentation. RCTI let the scenes from the post-presentation run a little bit longer. I could see more Pippo. ^-^ He was soooooooo kawaii. It was so cute how he tried to keep his hands on the trophy. When someone else was holding the trophy, Pippo took it from him and started hugging and kissing it again. I could see how happy he looked. He also looked extremely gleeful when the medal was given to him. I don't usually see Pippo Inzaghi smile that much, so I was asking myself, "Eh? Is he really 29?!" He looked 18. ^^;; Hahahahaha...
Oh but Tacchi was also sooooooooooooooo cute when he was on the platform to receive his medal. I know it's bad of me to say that because he was actually looking extremely dejected because his team lost the game at that time but because he was sulking, I thought he looked really cute. He was pouting! And I could tell he just didn't want to stay there! He had this look saying, "I just wanna go home and sulk on my own." Gomen ne, Tacchi. Next season, GANBATTE! ^_^ (If I pronounce this sentence verbally, one might mistake me for speaking to Takizawa Hideaki. XD)

Gosh, should I just jump on the next plane to Italy so I can stalk those gorgeous creatures along with their friends Nesta and Coco? That would be such a wonderful idea. I'd kidnap them and take them to Japan, then the four of them will be my escorts to the Johnny's concert, where I will see Junno, Takki, Tsuba, and Ohno sing on one stage (that would be a J-ERO concert --> i.e. J-FRIENDS 2nd generation, MY version, consisting of Arashi, TxT and cah-tehn. Ehem. I mean: KAT-TUN. Hohohohohohoho! ^o^). After the concert, me and my four handsome escorts will perform OPERATION: ABDUCT THE BISHIES where we kidnap the thirteen J-ERO members. Then we fly off to an island in the Oceania and build our empire of DDG UNITED (Drop Dead Gorgeous United), which is basically a league of extraordinarily handsome men/boys - ehem, GUYS, with me as their ohime-sama. XD (Ambitious, ambitious! =P Narcissistic too! XD) Our objective will be to collect all the DDGs in the world to join our league and then we will have a big global PAAAAAAAARRRRRRRTYYYY!!!

Yep, that's number 1 in my "Dream on, Amy!" list. ^-^

Ack! ^^;;; It's so funny how now I'm talking about Pippo and Tacchi... soccer... For the past few months ... I've been talking only about Johnny's, Junno, Johnny's, Takki, Junno, Tsuba, Junno, Tackey & Tsubasa, KAT-TUN, Arashi, Junno, Johnny's, Arashi, KAT-TUN, Johnny's, Junno and... Johnny's (did I miss anything? =O) Should I get back to my old soccer mode?! Those days were just as bad as now. Maybe even worse. XD LOL! I once got sick and neglected my studies just because I was devastated at the news that Pippo was dating (yet again) another blonde showgirl. ^^;; Ack. I had a fever, I caught cold, I threw up... all because of him. I don't know which one's worse: Pippo or Johnny's. XD LOL!

Oh but wait... Jenn also mentioned about CL, AC Milan and Juve ... and Pippo in her blog? ^^;; Hiyaaa... I remembered I was so surprised when I found out Jenn also liked Pippo. XD Huahahahahaha. Oh, btw, Jenn, yes, Pippo's in Milan now. He moved to Milan in 2001. I think. So sad he had to move from Juve, but at least he moved to Milan. ^^;;; (Eeep! Am I really talking about soccer now?! XD Oh no, wait. I'm just talking about Pippo here. Hehehe...)

JunnoBunny: AMI-CHAN!!! Kono sakkaa talk, yamete kudasai!
Ami-chan: ^^;; Ah, gomen, Bunny-kun. Sugu yamemasu. Demo Pippo wa kakkoii deshou?
JunnoBunny: *pouts and frowns* AMI-CHAN!!!
Takki: Maa, maa... iindayo, Bunny-kun!
Tacchi: Ma tu ed io abbiamo lo stesso nome, Takki!
Takki: Ah! Sou da yo!!! Tacchi e Takki! ^-^ Namae wa onaji desu!
Ami-chan: Ahhh... Tacchi mo kakkoii...
Tacchi: Io? Lui? =O
Takki: Eh? Dochi? =O
JunnoBunny: *cries madly* AMI-CHAN HIDOI!!!
Ami-chan: Ahhh! Bunny!! Please calm down. ^^;; Gomen, gomen.
Abang Tomo: Woi! Udah, udah... ngomong kok jadi ga jelas gitu. bentar lagi otak loe meledak, Ami-chan, ngomong pake empat bahasa sekaligus. Udah bobo sana.

^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

I watched MATRIX Reloaded yesterday with my sister. We arrived half an hour prior to the showtime, so we were really worried we wouldn't get any tickets! >_< There were already long lines at the ticket counters so we were really nervous. That was why we were SHOCKED when we found out that the best seats were still available! We got top row center. Seats A11 and A12. ^-^ So either people were daft not choosing the best seats or the long lines were for Johnny English and X2: X-Men United or we were just extremely lucky.
Movie was grrrreeeaaaattttttt!!! SUNGLASSES EVERYWHERE! I love them!!! And the outfit... *faint* They're just so cool. Okay, I really can't wait for my Tsuba-MATRIX outfit to be finished! Hihihi. Maybe Tsuba can play Neo in a musical and I play Trinity. HOHOHOHOHOHOHO! ^o^ Kidding, kidding. It would take years for me to even hold a gun straight the way Trinity does. I can drive the way she drives on the freeway though. XD Hehehe. Oh and Monica Bellucci is so beautiful. She kicks ass there. All the women in this film kick ass.
Oh and I will send invitation to Agent Smith to join our Narcissist Club. XD Huahahahahahaha... that part where he "cloned" himself and said, "Me too!" (talk about NARCISSISM! XD) freaked me out!!! That fight part between Neo and the hundreds of Smiths was so freaky! FREAKY DEEKEE DANG DANG!!! But he'd make do for the Narcissist Club. ^-^ (Bang Tomo, Cecil, we got a new member!)

After the movie yesterday, I went to that appointment with Poppy in Mid Plaza. Whoa. So many Japanese there. I felt like I was in Japan. I thought Poppy and I were the only two Indonesians there. Had that talk about this job offer with Poppy's friend and the Japanese man, Sakai-san. I don't know. For me, it had been a flat moment. I almost didn't say a word (I did understand almost everything Sakai-san said in Japanese though! ^-^ YAY!) and in the end, I didn't know what had been going on. ^^;;;;;;;;; Okay, I'll stop talking about this. I don't want to talk about it. It's still confusing for me.
And today... I helped my sister shop for her stuff that she would bring to the States. Hee... so many ppl going to the States (Arisa left this evening. I went to her place this afternoon for a short while and said goodbye to her). My sis has started getting ready early this month even though her scheduled departure won't be until mid June. There weren't many things left to buy but she we went to Body Shop to buy her toilettries. I was tempted to buy too but I'm proud to say I could resist the temptation! ^-^ UNFORTUNATELY, I FAILED TO RESIST IT IN PLANET SPORTS!!! >_< I bought a pair of sport sandals (yellow) and two sports tops (one yellow and one pink). Then we went to QB to order the Harry Potter 5.

ACK!!!!!!! Terry! I forgot to check ARTEMIS FOWL! GOMEN! That really slipped my mind. We were in a hurry today.

I'm in the mood for scanning. I'm going to scan more pics. Maybe I'll scan Jimmy Mackey pics soon. Glad to know the Four Tops and Arashi scans were enjoyed. =) I think I'll scan after I take a shower and get some decent sleep. Right now I'm just so sleepy. Jya. Mata.

Tuesday, 27 May 2003 ♥♥ 07:25 p.m.

I was really worried earlier when I heard of the major earthquake in Japan. >_< I was extremely worried about Mic and all of my friends who live in Japan (but I later realized that other than Mika and Marie, they're all in Europe). I managed to send an SMS to Mic... but only to her Indonesian number! >_< I hope she gives word soon. I also hope Mika and Marie reply my emails. Hiks. Hiks. I hope they're all fine. Thankfully, there are no death victims. Just injuries. But still. My deepest sympathies go to the people in the affected areas.

On to a happier stuff...
^-^ Look what I've done today! ... I SCANNED!!!

Hohohohoho. ^o^
I just thought I'd update EYECANDY
All Four Tops pics, especially HASEJUN!!! I'm starting to like this boy more (probably because his name is "Jun" ^^;;;) and so I decided to scan lots and lots of cute pics of him... :) There are also lots of Toma pics for my friends who adore Toma so much. Enjoy, ne~~

Oh, and, a couple of nights ago, I couldn't sleep so I made something really cheeky. ^^;; Huahahahahahaahaha... it's like, SO WEIRD.
But I made it anyway:
Tsubasa & tsubAMI Midnight Story
I wrote it all in hiragana (it was like 3 in the morning so I couldn't be bothered with kanji) and the grammar sucks... but just thought I'd share it with my friends because it's so ridiculous. :P Huahahaha... it's a confirmation of my silliness. Hope my friends are not freaked out. ^^;; But this is me... YOROSHIKU ONEGAISHIMASU! ^^;;;

Finally updated my magazines list too.
Speaking of which, I just realized in Anan 1361 (cover: Makiko Esumi) there are two full-page pics of YUICHIRO SAKURABA!!! SO SEXY! I think I'm going to scan that next and share it in the gallery. But maybe not. =P I'm stingy... *evil smirk* Hahahaha... KIDDING! Problem is Anan pages are so wide. Scanning it would take an EXTREME EFFORT! >_< Like scanning PATi PATi. But I'll try... if I have the energy. Oh and I will definitely scan Arashi pics from Popolo June for the Arashi Blog Crew. Actually, the pics are not as spectacular as usual... but the guys just look so damn fine!!!

I'm still so tired from the party yesterday. Today I had to do some things too. Tomorrow there's another appointment. This time with Poppy, to make up for last week's canceled appointment. On Thursday, I have Japanese lesson at two but I think I'll go to Arisa's place in the morning to say goodbye to her because I can't send her off at the airport. ... I'm just so tired. I thought I needed something to do outside the house but now that I have so many things to do outside the house, I think I prefer my house more. ^^;;; Or maybe I'm saying this just because of my Shokura tapes...

*hug Shokura tapes again*

I still love them so much! ^-^ Nino-y, you're right. The Shokura tapes were able to make me better. And thanks for the Pino! ^_______^ CHO-URESHII!!! Thanks for listening to my problem. Well, now you know who's my biggest enemy. XD LOL!! Hahahaha... I have a feeling Jun-a also knows who I'm talking about (is that right, Jun-a?? =O) Thanks for your support as well, Jun-a! ^-^ This morning I was also ranting to Sho-k. XD God, I feel so bad for involving everyone in this problem. ^^;;;; Minna, gomenasai!!! I will try not to be so fussy about it but when you're facing a person like this person, you will feel annoyed ALL THE TIME. ^^;; Well, sorry and thanks once again for soothing me. :) If you guys have any problems, I'm here for you too! ^-^

I think I'm going to clean the computer room now. It's so messy my BIG pet cat, Nera, was able to hide under one of the magazine piles. ^^;;; I really hate messy rooms, so I have to get my stuff in order here before I can do anything else. Hah. Then I'm going to watch SMAP Drink Smap! 2002 Concert VCD after dinner before working on the prequel. Hmmm...................... I want hot choco. Tsubasa, make me another cup of hot choco please! XD)

Tuesday, 27 May 2003 ♥♥ 00:59 a.m.

Tsukareta... ^^;;;; Just got back from Arisa's farewell gathering. There were ten people in all... most of them her friends. I didn't know all of them except for Rei and Jean. @_@ But it was a good party. At least I got to get out of the house. I'm going to blog again later after I take a hot shower, drink hot choco and read Popolo.

Oh, and, just thought I'd give a shout out to someone here. >_<
Chotto... hontou ni... *ANATA*! Anata wa wakaranai ka? Anata wa atama ga zenzen yokunai yo ne~ yappari... anata no koto ga kirai no de, atashi ni meseeji wo kaku kureru koto: YAMETE KUDASAI!!! Kimochiwarui.

(Nihongo ga wakaru hitotachi ni: GOMENASAI!!! Kono meseeji wa kirai na hito ni kaimasu yo~ Warui kedo, mou iya desu. I can't stand it anymore. I just mean it for one particular person. Trust me, I'm not usually like this... demo saikin, this problem has gone up to my nerves a lot. ^^;;; Mou ichido, gomenasai ne...)

Monday, 26 May 2003 ♥♥ 01:32 a.m.

Can't sleep. ~_~ So strange. A few days ago I was able to sleep just fine. No problem at all... but now, I can't even seem to keep myself in bed. ... ^^;; I'm drawn to Shokura!!!

*hug Shokura tapes*

If you ask me *right now* what is my most precious possession is, the answer would immediately be: MY SHOKURA TAPES. ^-^ I wouldn't trade, lend, lose or damage them in anyway. I put them in a special box so that I can keep them secure and well-maintained. I have four tapes now that all add up to +/- 11 hours in total. Ever since I subscribed to the channel that allowed me to watch that show, I've missed only half an episode (the one that had Kouichi Domoto as guest star. >_< I missed a good episode!) Other than that, I always keep recording them. ^-^ (And for most of the episodes, I sacrificed my Sunday morning sleep to record them... ^^;;;;)
Today, other than yesterday's recording, I watched the TxT debut episode, the Shokura concert special episode, the KAT-TUN vs 4Tops theme episode and also the Kanjani episode. Whoa. I miss them all!!! I miss the half an hour Shokura format! I miss "Club no Ousama" and the Club News desk (I miss seeing five gorgeous creatures who occupied the table and their equally gorgeous guests! >_<)

SPECIAL HASEJUN TALK
He's probably the one I miss seeing most from the old format Shokura. He used to make me smile a lot because he just looks so cute and innocent. And he's TALL!!! He's not as tall as Jimmy or Junno now, but he's definitely tall! He's taller than the rest of Four Tops. And he has that sweet, sweet smile (okay, what's wrong with me and guys who smiles sweetly ^^;;;) KAWAII YO!!! I think Hasejun's my fave Four Tops (nope, not Toma 'cause he's taken already and I fear that Cece might smack me if I ever come close to Toma! XD --> Then again, Fi might smack me all the same because Hasejun seems to be her fave Junior period). Nyahahaha....) Oh well...

HASEJUN, GANBATTE!

Back to Shokura. Ahhh, the ending theme songs are really nice, especially "Love and Dream". It was really funny when Kanjani (minus V.West members) sang this song with Four Tops. HUAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA!!! XD HILARIOUS! Yoko doesn't even remember the lyrics so he was just holding the microphone, put on a very silly smile on his face and swayed his body to the music. Kimitaka-kun, he's a gem! XD Oh and the opening Junior showtime for this Kanjani episode was also hilarious. KAT-TUN became just as crazy as Kanjani was. While Jimmy and Yamapi were announcing their program plan for the day, all six KAT-TUN members hopped, turned, danced, waved and practically made fools of themselves behind the two; as usual, they were trying to get attention from the camera! XD (Kame is so right: this group is very narcissistic. I should ask them to join the Narcissist Club with me! XD) Then Hina and Yoko doing the robotic dance and trying to dominate the camera. Ryo-chan didn't do a dance. He was only STEPPING to the music. XD Bwahahahaha... THE ULTIMATE KANJANI SILLINESS: SUBARU DOING A CHICKEN DANCE!!! XD Omigod... SUBARU IS CRAZY!!! I LUUUUURVE HIM THERE!!! He cracks me up. He looks like a criminal but I love him all the same. The most decent ones would be Ryuhei, Yassan and Uchi. Their dance was sugoi! ^-^ (Ah, the trio Hasejun-Toma-Kazapon looked extremely cute here!)
Cecil (Hina admirer), Fara (Uchi lover) and I used to go crazy watching this episode. They asked me to rewind the tape OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I used to fear my tape was going to get broken by the time they finished watching... nyahahaha...

Now, come to think of it, KAT-TUN and KANJANI seem to have a pretty good relationship. For starters, both groups are crazy out of their minds (but maybe Kanjani slightly crazier... XD) Then... they must've rehearsed a lot together for the new Shokura episodes where they had their "battle". I know Uchi is pretty close with Junno and Jin. Uchi and Junno even once made a promise for something together and Uchi was reminding Junno of this promise in WU BBS back in one of the late 2002 issues. =O I'm still curious. What could that "promise" be? (A promise to love Ami-chan forever, maybe?! :-) Fufufufufufu... ^-^)

*SMACK*
Hehehehe. Gomen. Just got carried away there.
I need to get back to my Shokura tapes before I try to sleep again. It's addictive. I need Shokura, I need Shokura...

Aaaaa... I can't stop talking about Shokura. I'll try to shut my mouth about it and try to talk about something else. Mmmmh... let me see... what else did I do today??

AH! I went to watch Johnny English!
Actually we were supposed to watch it yesterday evening, but there was a little misunderstanding. I thought we were going to watch the late night one, but my mom thought we were going to watch the evening (7 or 8 o'clock one)... yesterday I went out with Leti, K4r-kun, 8282 and Riana (and Lia, Leti & Riana's friend) to PI for a small "gathering" (where 8282 and K4r-kun squealed over pics in my magazine and I gasped seeing nude Shinhwa pics!! XD) I went to PS to get my Popolo with 8282 first before I went home, so I arrived much later than I scheduled. My mom thought I had forgotten about the movie outing so when I came home, I got a bit of a spat from her. ^^;;; Anyway, I told her my reasons and finally we re-scheduled our movie outing. So I went to the movies today.

THE MOVIE IS SO FRIGGIN' FUNNY!!!
I've never had that much, that loud a laugh!!! IT'S HILARIOUS!!! I love it. Terry was absolutely right. BOUGH *IS* ADORABLE! And the way his name is pronounced is so cute... "boff" instead of "bowwh". Cool, cool man. XD Rowan Atkinson never fails to impress me! His acting is just absolutely amazing. Hmm... but I'd rather watch another person act instead of Natalie Imbruglia. Never quite liked her. Dunno why. Oh, well.
*prequel ideas, prequel ideas*

*sigh*
I'm tired now... but I'm not sleepy yet. I think I'm just going to try to do something else besides running the Shokura tape again (if I can restrain my desire ^^;;) Probably I'll just read Popolo. This July edition of Popolo is not that good... I dunno. Haven't read the contents. But the pictures are not *that* spectacular. >_< I need Wink Up actually. I need a dose of good pics of the boys. I hope Kino has finally processed my Wink Up by air subscription. I still don't trust them 100% because they usually never get my orders right. ^^;;; So tired of taking care of this problem.

I dunno if I'll blog again today or not... Japanese is for three hours today. I have to meet Rei, Arisa and Jean for Arisa's farewell gathering. This week is going to be one hectic week... >_< Hope I can find time to watch Shokura (Oh here we go again............................ the neverending Shokura-mania.) ^^;;;;

SHOKURA-MANIA!!!

Hiks. It's getting worse. This program doesn't help me cure my obsession... because even though I don't see it as often anymore, every time the show airs --> I'M GLUED TO THE TV. And for the May 18th episode in particular I can't take my eyes off the TV and I can't stop touching the remote control to rewind and rewind and rewind. I haven't even finished writing the report for the May 11th episode, now already NHK served the following week's episode. Huaaaa... when am I ever going to finish my report?? WHEN AM I EVER GOING TO FIND TIME TO UPDATE MY JUNNO SITE WITH THE REPORTS?! ^^;;; All I can do right now is devour Junno and all them boys on the show. Hiks. Shokura is bad, bad, bad. But I love it sooooo much. ^^;;; Dou shiyou~

Ah, never mind. I'm just crazy. Yep, that's all.

I WANT TO BE tsubAMI!!!
I swear, Tsubasa Imai has the best style ever!!! Argh. I really, really adore his fashion-sense. I'm having a Tsuba-MATRIX outfit custom-made for me, and I'm thinking of manicuring my nails the way he does (I'm not usually into *that* kind of manicure but this time, I've decided to try something new). I need to make a visit to the hair salon again and ask the stylist to make my hair look more Tsuba-ish.
Okay, this means: I AM GOING TO COSPLAY AS TSUBASA IMAI.
Heh, heh. And Tsuba is not even an anime character. Takki is! XD LOL! But I can't possibly cut my hair Takki style, and I don't think I'd look any good in those pants he usually wears. Though, I might want to dye my hair in his current hair color. Eh. Takki's style is so out of this world. I can't follow that. ^^;;;

Oh, by the way, I would like to thank Takki for singing "894" in Shokura. ^-^ Thanks to him, I get to see my Bunny and his friends TOPLESS. Hohohoho! The topless KAT-TUN boys were even sexier than the ero2 dance in the Dome concert. Maybe because of the new boxing gloves. keen-kee... XD Nyahahahahaha...
Takky, why didn't you go topless too??
Ah, iya, iya~ IYA DA!!! I don't think I want more ero2 from him. That's like, THE ONLY THING people remember from the concert DVD. I don't think it's fair for him that he's remembered only for the ero2 dance. He's a talented artist (both in music, acting and photography). His voice has improved a lot too. I'd rather appreciate him "artistically" than "erotically". But wait, did he choreograph that ero2 dance by himself?? I'd have to say that was a good choreography. Or was there any choreography?? Was it improvised? Anyway, it was a cool dance (probably I just said that because Junno looked so sexy doing those moves... XD Nyahahahaha...)

Speaking of choreographies, I think the Johnny's new generation (that's Arashi, TxT and the Juniors, KAT-TUN in particular) don't dance with the "typical Johnny's moves" anymore (see: Arashi's "Sunrise Nippon" PV). Their choreography these days is totally fresh and full of variations. Look at Tsuba's "Go On". Except for the few acrobatic moves, it doesn't have the usual "Johnny's-typical" movements anymore. Then... check out "Harukana Yakusoku". Again, except for the acrobatic moves, the choreography doesn't read "WE ARE THE JOHNNY'S" anymore. All along, I've always thought Arashi danced differently... especially because they make formations. Even before TxT and KAT-TUN did these new choreographies, Arashi's been using formations and breaking and poppin' more than the other groups. Kinki Kids' "Eien no Bloods" dance is also different. I like that one! ^-^ Pana and Machin are really cool there...

Ahhh!!! I want to make a PV for "Go On". >_< I'll make the plot and storyboard. Takki can direct and film it. Tsuba should design the outfit. Who else wants to help me?? Aiaaa... that song is so catchy! PUT IT IN THE ALBUM!!!

I think I'm just going to go back to my VCR and start watching Shokura all over again, including the old ones. I miss last year's TxT Shokura where TxT sang their the "Hatachi" album medley. ^-^ Natsukashii... then, I'll watch that Shokura "concert" special. KAT-TUN all over with Junno singing his very, very cool solo song, Toma looking so handsome backstage, Jimmy-Kazapon-Toma-Hasejun fooling around backstage, the Juniors arriving late... then I go watch the Kanjani special. ^-^ I want to see Hina and Ryuhei again, I want to listen to KANSAI-BEN!!!

Nyahahahhaa. This is definitely Shokura madness. Everything else will have to wait until I satisfy my Shokura thirst. (Okay, that was cheesy, but you gets thes points.) ^__________^

PLUG: ABSOLUT.com

I'm in ABSOLUT ADMIRATION and ABSOLUT OBSESSION for this vodka brand. No, no, I don't mean to say I've started drinking, but I'm amazed that there's such a product that is being promoted in so many different spectacular ways that it created a class of its own.
ABSOLUT is definitely my hero in the field of design. I respect TBWA (ABSOLUT's advertising company). They've done a great job. I'm completely taken by their ingenuity. I have no more words to express my admiration for them. Some people may say, "It's too commercial! You're being eaten up by commercial!" But I beg to differ. When you read the inside story of ABSOLUT ad campaigns, you'll find out that their strategies *not just* marketing strategies. They have some good philosophies and what they're doing is *not just* promoting the product but also giving chances for people in the field of art, fashion, photography, editorial (and many other fields) to CREATE. It's truly inspirational.
I'm so glad I bought the ABSOLUT BOOK. It's a good read and definitely eye candies. I told Fi-chan about it last night and just as I thought she was excited about it. She knows about this book before. The only other person whom I think should know about this book is Jenn, because she's an art director and studied in art school (is that right, Jenn? Correct me if I'm wrong!) I can't wait to share this book with Fi-chan. Also with Terry (ABSOLUT SPY! ABSOLUT SPY!) XD The literature aspect of this book is also very interesting. The writer is definitely a good writer (though he's actually an account manager of the advertising company =P LOL!). The linguistic style is very casual - though I did learn completely new terms that enrich my vocabulary immensely! XD - and it's written in first-person point of view. I can only say, "I'm at ease with this book!" ;)

Okay, so ABSOLUT really adds up to my list of obsessions. Or should I say, ABSOLUT CAMPAIGNS. I've never had ABSOLUT beverages before. I did try PEPPAR but at that time I didn't know it was ABSOLUT. LOL! Next time I have the chance, I will have a taste of KURANT or VANILIA.

Before I recount my Junno dream, I'd just like to "complain" a bit.
I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed with some people. I won't even bother to mention who. They should know, though I actually think they're so daft or thick-skulled so they won't understand. Hah. I'm so sick of them. I wish I don't have to associate further with them. Correction: I DO NOT WISH TO ASSOCIATE WITH THEM. I do not want to know them any further.
What I don't like about them are:
1. Il fatto che SE LA TIRANO (in English that would be attention-seeking)
2. They overreact
3. They do mind their own business
4. The way they talk
5. They're bossy
In other words: DEVONO ANDARE A CAGARE! Ick.

Also a note to *someone*: I DON'T WANT TO KNOW YOU ANYMORE SO GIVE IT A REST, WILL YOU? YOU WON'T BE GETTING MY SYMPATHY. YOU WON'T GET ANYTHING FROM ME!

Oh well, now I feel better after that little outrage. ^^;; Hahahahaha.

Now, on to a much better stuff: my Junno dream. I'm writing it here so I can keep it in record. You know, there's one thing about being a vivid-dreamer - it's a good thing when you can remember all the sweet dreams you have because you always dream of things vividly until it feels real... but it's DEFINITELY FRIGHTENING when you have nightmares. Me, I've had both. When people say to me, "Ahh, I want to be able to dream like you" I take no compliment at all. First of all, it's just a dream. Secondly, the nightmares become so haunting that I can't sleep. So I guess, for me, DREAMLESS SLEEP is still the best.

Anyway, since my Junno dreams have always been nice, I'm glad I can savor the moment.
I forgot the first part of the dream. I only remember what happened from the time I saw Junno there and to the end. I was at a parade with my friends. There were many wonderful parade cars. We were taking pictures when suddenly this one parade car entered. The occupants of the car were footballers (not sure if they were Japanese or Italian footballers, but I think both. ^^;;;) My friends were cheering for them but my eyes caught the guy who was walking beside the slowly-moving parade car. He was wearing a light blue T-shirt and a pair of white bermudas. I caught sight of his white sneakers then my eyes followed his figure from bottom to top. When I finally got to see his face, I realized he was also looking at me and he smiled at me. I smiled back.
That guy was Junno.
His appearance was not of the present time. The appearance he had - hair, face, everything - was him in 2001. But it was definitely him.
Suddenly the next thing I knew, my friends and I were already at a big park. We were sitting together on a bench under a big tree with an afternoon setting. While we were talking, my attention was caught by something else. One of the guy friends who were with me in the dream was making room for one of his friends to sit with us. His "friend" turned out to be Junno! I gasped and tried to avoid looking at him, but he sat down and talked to my friends casually. He didn't see me, so I took the chance to check him out. My eyes were fixed on him when suddenly the guys in our group made a joke and everyone laughed out loud and Junno was laughing at my friend so hysterically. He got to his feet and jumped around (like a bunny??? ^^;;) I didn't understand what the joke was but one of the guys said, "Junno wa dekiru da ne? Osh! Yatte mite!" (Junno can do it, right! Come on, try to do it!) Then Junno did something (what he did, I don't remember) that made me say, "Ahhh!!! JUNNO!!! UMAI YO!!!" (Ah, Junno, you're good at this!) Then he turned to me and smiled. He asked, "Sou? Umai desu ka? Ami-chan mo dekiru yo! Boku to yatte mimasho ka?" (Really? I'm good? You can do it too! Care to do it with me?) Then we did that "thing" together. After we did it, everyone clapped. I was so happy I hugged Junno. Junno smiled again to me and said, "Shiawase." (Happiness) I have no idea what he said that. Then Junno gave me a key. He said to me, this time in English, "Find me. You'll know where."
Right after that, I was running around this small village. I felt that I was running to do an errand for someone. Dunno who. I felt tired running around. I stopped in front of a house and was thinking to just give up and return home because I was already so fatigued. Then someone came up from the house and it was JUNNO again!!! He called me and said, "Hashiruna!" (Don't run!) I was amazed. So amazed I couldn't move myself. He approached me and took my hand. He told me, this time in English, "I told you to find me! Why didn't you come sooner?" At that moment, somehow I realized what I was trying to do --> I was trying to find him because my parents told me to bring him to my house so they could finally meet my "boyfriend". ^^;;;; Aiaaaaa...
So I apologized to him and we walked together... at this point, I was on my way to waking up but before the dream really ended, I remember him saying to me, "Wasurenaide!" (Don't forget!)

[EDIT]
I forgot to mention that somewhere in the middle of the dream (at the park scene) or maybe somewhere towards the end (right after I stopped running and then met him), there was a kiss. Between him and me. *BLUSH* I remember this part but a bit embarrassed to tell the details. ^^;;; Hiks. Anyway, there was KISU part. ^^;; What a major improvement from my last dream that featured him where we didn't even even talk to each other. I wish I have more dreams like this... Nyahahahaha...

*NOSEBLEED*

Yep, so that was my Junno dream.

Last but not least:

MIC, HAVE A SAVE TRIP TO JAPAN!
Have fun while you're there. Come back soon so we can meet. ;) I'm looking forward to your stories!!! ^-^

Friday, 23 May 2003 ♥♥ 09:20 a.m.

I ended this long round of my sleepless nights. I was finally able to sleep yesterday. Slept at 10 P.M. Would you believe that? XD I woke up at seven this morning, though. I had another Junno dream. This dream is very, very sweet. ^-^ I can still remember it. ^-^

Hohohoho... Kar-kun just called. He was looking for an excuse to get away from home. XD Shucks. My car's not home. So I can't join him in PI. >_< (Wrong timing. @_@) It would've been great to meet him again today. *sigh*

Ah, yes. Yesterday. TANOSHIKATTA!!!
Heh, heh. Finally I met K4r-kun. I was so early to arrive in PS so I waited like half an hour for him to arrive. Nyahahahaha. When he came, he recognized me immediately (yeah, he should! I gave him the details of my outfit yesterday. LOL!) Anyway, we went to Starbucks where I had my lunch (he wanted to eat KFC but I simply can't eat chicken anymore). So while I had my Caesar's salad and a dose of Caramel Frappuccino (yet again XD), I showed him the bishie magz I brought for him.
HE PRACTICALLY SHRIEKED IN STARBUCKS!!!
So funny!!!
K4r-kun kept pointing at Ryo Nishikido (Kanjani 8), Toma Ikuta and Taichi Kokubun (TOKIO). LOL! I was surprised he knew about Taichi. XD And on the fourth magazine (or third??) he finally said, "Okay, I won't point him out again since I think you're bored seeing me mentioning Taichi again." And why has he all of a sudden turned to TOMA?! I never knew he'd be *that* interested in Toma. XD LOL!!! Oh, and, whenever Yamapi appeared, he said, "Oh, come here. Come home with niichan." --> HILARIOUS!
We went to get my ABSOLUT BOOK (will talk about this later). Then we went to the food court so he could finally have his KFC (*shudders* I don't know what's wrong with me but I really can't eat or see chicken as food anymore... >_<) But we had another talk while he was eating. I told him about my "blind date" that WOULD HAVE happened. ;p
There was also one serious thing we discussed but I think I'd rather not say it here because this is such an important, overwhelming matter and both he and I are still clueless of what to do about it. When we make a clear plan of what we want to do, I might tell but right now the idea is still overwhelming so I'd rather keep it to ourselves right now.
Oh and before that he told me something else that got into my mind. But I agree with him, I don't want to interfere in this problem. It's not our problem. We don't have to get involved that deeply. (But I can say: SCREW HER. SHE'S JUST FISHING FOR ATTENTION. LET'S NOT GIVE IT TO HER.)
Anyway, back to our meeting. K4r-kun counted the time. He said we stayed for two hours in Starbucks (gee, I really hope people weren't disturbed by our enthusiastic talk about bishies --> he did shriek pretty loud and I kept fainting every time Junno appears) and then we hung out there until five. Yep, the meeting ended at five.
I was glad to know he got home safely. K4r-kun's back was hurting him and he looked like he was in such pain when he walked. So sorry to hear about that.
But, K4r-kun, you *do* walk pretty fast, you know? XD Hahahahaha...
Mic couldn't join us but it's okay. There will be next time. ^-^ Mic, please come join us next time!

Actually yesterday I had another surprise encounter with one of my ex-high school seniors. ^-^ I never knew I would ever meet her there. We turned out to be sharing the same language school!!! She's studying Mandarin there and she came out of her class half an hour after I finished mine! Whoaaa... it's been a really long time since I last saw her. I was so happy to meet her. Thank God I decided to stick around so that the admin could print out my new class schedule (there have been some changes)! If I hadn't, I wouldn't have met her! I missed her so much!

Poppy cancelled our meeting yesterday evening so I went straight home after PS. I knew, though, if I were still to meet her, I would be totally cynical... because I was sleepy and was pissed at my driver after leaving PS. Oh well, let's see what happens next week.

I think I'm going to save the story on my ABSOLUT BOOK and Junno dream later. Today I must update the Junno site. I need to worry about the Japanese homework first.

Thursday, 22 May 2003 ♥♥ 08:00 a.m.

I'm going to be away from home for the whole day. Japanese lesson in the morning, then meeting up K4r-kun (^-^) and also an appointment with my friend Poppy this evening.

K4r-kun, ne, if you're reading this... I SMS-ed Mic last night and invited her to join us. If she can she will come. I hope that's all right with you. Sorry I didn't consult you first but I saw her message on your TagBoard at one in the morning... ^^;; Didn't think you'd appreciate me sms-ing you at that hour. But I really hope she can come with us because I think there won't be a chance for us to meet her soon after tomorrow 'cause she said she was going back to Japan, ne? (Mic, we're waiting for you!) Well, I'll see you later...
(LOL! I just wrote this message because K4r-kun said he was going to blog for some two hours before our appointment! I don't know if he's going to check out other people's blogs... anyway, just in case he comes here... :D)

I'm outta here. --> ECK! Kanji, kanji, kanji.... >_<

Wednesday, 21May 2003 ♥♥ 05:34 p.m.

Here's my proper entry for today...

Whoaa... thanks so much, everyone, for the positive response. ^^;; Hahaha. I wasn't too confident with this one since it looks somewhat plain with the blue domination and also the white-ish background (less festive than the purple-candy-Tsuba-baby layout, huh? :P) but thanks! Isn't KAT-TUN pretty up there? Look at Kame-chan. He's raising his chin up because he wants to look taller! XD On the other hand, Junno lowers himself to match his friends' height. Nakamaru's cool! I like his style, period. ^-^
I was interested with Yona's comments... half of them have "their mouths open in seduction". Ohohoho! ^o^ They seduced me already. ^-^ (Remember, Tsuba's lips was also parted in the last layout... *drool* ... err, okay, I need to move on from that layout. ^^;;;)
Also, Yona's right. When I first knew her, I told her I didn't know anything about layouts. I didn't know what to do with any of the pictures I had in my computer. >_< Just depended so much on Fi-chan (yo, Fi-chan, you still owe me a layout!!! XD Nyahahahahaha...) But now I can make my own. ^-^ So happy I don't have to trouble her so much anymore. ^^;;;

Yesterday night, I did finally watch that animal drama "Doubutsu no Oisha-san". It's out of this world. Totally unreal. XD I LOVE IT!
So, Jun Kaname is really in there... he doesn't wear that kakkoii mechanic suit like in "Good Luck" but he was still so kakkoii in so many cool outfits. I guess his character Nikaido's sense of style is just really cool. The thing that really cracks me up about him in here is that: HE DOES A VERY, VERY GOOD IMPRESSION OF BEING SCARED OF RATS! XD I can't believe he pulled it off so well. He's the silly one in this drama, all right. Oh yeah, hot clown! XD Nyahahahahaha....
I also can't believe another thing: YUU YOSHIZAWA plays here as the main character too!!! Whoa. All along, I've only seen his picture and name in either Potato or Wink Up. I don't know anything about him, about his works... NOTHING. But I liked him immediately in this dorama. He's the sweet guy. Rather quiet, and plain, but he's really dominant in the scenes. Ahh... cute! And he's always with Chobi, the dog. So cute! ^-^
Well, the main stars of this dorama are definitely the animals. I love all of the animals I've seen so far, including the chicken (Okay, so I don't eat chicken, and I thought chickens were ugly in general, but the one in this dorama is pretty cool). XD Hahaha. Cool chicken. (I know where chickens look okay, too... Jason Mraz's video! XD Huahahaha...) My sister's crazy about the cat. I think the name is Mike (??) --> that's "mee-kay" not "myke". :P

So, yeah, I've been watching a lot of dramas lately. I don't know. I'm not usually fond of dramas, but first I watched "Boku no Ikirumichi" and then all the others followed. ^^;; But this season I only plan to watch "Kimi Wa Pet" and this cute, funny, silly animal drama with two kakkoii non-Johnny's boys in it.

Kino got my orders wrong again. I asked for AnAn 1360, and they gave me 1361 and 62 instead! WHEN WILL THOSE PEOPLE LEARN?! @____@ Argh. Oh well, I was doing some fashion check in AnAn and as usual they have got the cutest-looking stuff around. HOSHII!!!

Hiks. Seeing AnAn makes me want to go shopping. ^^;;;

Oh, and, before I log out of here, I just want to say... YAY! I composed the ringtone for "Harukana Yakusoku". ^^ Hee, hee. So happy. My first ever ringtone (that I make by myself I mean). Up next: TxT ringtone. I just don't know which one. Their songs have really, really difficult compositions. ^^;;;

Wednesday, 21 May 2003 ♥♥ 12:51 p.m.

Hohohoho. ^o^ New layout, man.
But this one ain't as sweet as the Tsuba-one... 'cause KAT-TUN's pose is not as alluring as Tsuba's pose (okay, that was a stupid reason but anyway, you get the point.

By the way, STEALING = DAME DESU YO!!!
Cla, don't steal... just drool!!! XD Hahaha. Actually, ne, I didn't want to use a KAT-TUN layout ever again for my blog because I've already had one before and I also have a Junno website and I told myself to restrict the Junno & KAT-TUN madness there, but I really can't help myself. Have you heard their new song? I'm just crazy about it.

I need to compose a ringtone of "Harukana Yakusoku" and "Yume Monogatari" for my cell phone. ^-^ Yosh! Ganbarimasu...

Okay, so this is the opening entry for this layout. Will blog again later. I'm still waiting for Terry's comments, critics and suggestions. I feel insecure if she doesn't give me a piece of her thoughts. She is, after all, my "teacher". Oh and... this layout is dedicated to Mic and Terry, my two "stelle gemelle" (twin stars). ^^
