JENN, OKAERINASAI!
I'm so happy to hear that you're back again and had a safe trip!!! ^-^ I know you're still tired from the trip and terribly upset about the Tsuba necklace thingie (Hiks) but it was so nice of you to drop in and say hi to me and also Yona. It seems that everyone's so excited about you coming back!! We can't wait to hear your stories...
Ooooh!!! Junno was on Tsuba's team! ^-^ SUGOI! Haha, Tsuba *is* the faction leader after all.
Anyway, get a good rest first before you start on the reports. And I'd like to congratulate you on finally having been able to touch Tsubasa!!! Darn it, Jenn, you must be the no. 1 person we Tsuba fans envy right now. Hahahaha... kidding. ^^ I'm not *that* jealous... I'm happy for you. (Let's hope one day I can touch Junno too... *NOSEBLEED*)
Tonikaku... OMEDETOU! Soshite, yukkuri yasunde kudasai ne~ Anata no hanashi wo otanoshimi ni shite imasu!

I just saw one of the most wonderful concert videos again. Drink SMAP! Tour 2002 is AWESOME!!! Now why can't TxT's concert video be more like that?! >_< (I know I keep comparing it but I just can't help it!) SMAP's concert videos are always of top quality. I don't mean just the picture and sound quality, but also with SMAP you get what you want to see... at least it's COMPREHENSIVE. This particular 2002 tour video is even better because some of the stage acts were given visual effects for the video so that it gives "ii kanji" for those who see it.

The concert itself is amazing. Whenever I see them perform, I always get energized. Maybe it's because they're true entertainers... they know how to entertain the audience. What more, I also like the fact that their style is very mature and... NEAT!!! Thank goodness, none of those "crazy Johnny's-typical costumes". ^^;;; (Certainly not like V6 on their 2000-2001 VERY HAPPY concert video... ^^;; LOL!) I like their style.
I've only watched disc one (there are five discs actually! XD) and I was so amazed. I feel like writing a long review! (Then again maybe not because I'm on a super LAZY MODE here... and I still have so many things to do! >_< Projects here, projects there, projects everywhere... I don't even know if I have time to review TxT's MS performance.)
Anyway, I noticed from that concert that there were quite a number of MALE FANS who came to watch! One was even holding up an uchiwa and cheering and jumping along with the others... SUGOI!!! I'm always amazed when there's a male Johnny's fan. ^-^ They're just different. ;) I appreciate male Johnny's fans.
Tsuyopon, or rather Cho Nan Gang, sang "Ai no uta ~ Chomal Sarangheyo ~" and then even spoke some phrases in Korean. He sang the first verse of "Asahi wo mi ni ikou yo" in Korea. WAH! I adore Tsuyoshi Kusanagi. He's so natural when he speaks Korean. I know he must've practiced a lot but, seriously, he sounds convincing when he speaks it. I also like his "Junction VTR" (basically short clips with a plot starring each SMAP member). AND... NO WONDER HE WON BEST JEANIST!! He really does look good in jeans.
One part that cracked me up was when they sang their songs SAMBA STYLE. There were dancers in Brazilian samba costumes and SMAP members wore flowery, frilly and sparkly shirts. Takuya Kimura was dancing Latin-style and I thought he looked amusing. XD Well, he was kakkoii all right, but I dunno... sometimes Kimura just cracks me up.

There are still so many things to see from this concert. Four discs to go. I've decided to watch it one disc per day because I don't want my schedule to be messed up. ^^;; (Yes, I've actually made a schedule for myself. =P Have to be organized!!!) Besides, I feel the anticipation more and therefore I get even more excited when I do actually get to watch it!

Ooops! I forgot to mention... I HAD ANOTHER JOHNNY'S DREAM!!!
All right, now I'm beginning to wonder why I always have Johnny's artists in my dream?! ^^;;
I had my fourth Junno dream, though. NO NOSEBLEED THIS TIME. Darn. XD Hahahahaha.
Maybe I'm just really stressed out or extremely tired... but that shouldn't be the case. I've been giddy of happiness for the past few days, and I certainly don't feel tired although I've been working a lot on sites, layouts and translations. =O I wonder why. Hmmm... maybe Aki's theory is correct after all (long theory; but very reasonable... =P)
I can't sleep now, though... I slept for a long time this afternoon. I'm actually very much an anti-napper XD LOL! But because Junno seems to sleep a lot these days, and I feel obliged to accompany him when he sleeps sometimes, so I spend more time in my room and sleep with him. So, this afternoon, I did exactly just that. ^-^

LOL!!!

That was a joke, okay? ;) --> I though I wish it was reality. ^o^ (SLAP, STOMP, SMACK!)

Hahaha. I know I'm supposed to be sleeping early but I really couldn't stop when I started working on Junno's site. ^^;; Anyways, I updated The Milk White.

HELP! I'M NOSEBLEEDING A LOT!
LOL! LOL! Pass me the tissue!!! I get nosebleeds when I talk about that 17-year-old, and here I am in a ice-cold full-air conditioned room at 2 in the morning... Yet my is bleeding!!! >_< Someone, cure me! Mic, prescribe me something to cure this disease please! ^^;;; Geez, I wonder what'll happen if I ever get to meet Junno. Either I pass out or I have to keep covering my nose with a towel to prevent the blood from flowing. ^^;;
All right. I'll try to go to sleep now... I've lost so much blood I feel so tired. =P

I archived my page. ^-^ I got so sick already reading my own entries, full of hatred for people I dislike. Now, I've decided not to care anymore about those stupid people. I'm just going to mind my own business. ^-^

ARASHI CREW
If you happpened to not have read my last message for you, please go to this archive to read what I said previously, ne~

I'M SO HAPPY!
Just came back from PS. My sis and I were looking for birthday presents for my mom, whose birthday is on Saturday this week. We were looking for an instrumental CD for her and a book. We were very fussy about the book; because we want to buy mom a book on FBI. Yep, that's Federal Bureau of Investigation. Our mom is a fan of detective stories and she's repeatedly said to us, "I just know in a past life, I was a detective. If I'm to be reborn in the future, I think my future job will be an FBI agent." Every time she says that, my sister and I always laugh at her. But it gave us an idea for the present. =P However, we haven't bought the book yet because we didn't find the titles we wanted in Kino or QB. So we have to look for them in other places. We're going to the other QB stores tomorrow. There was a very helpful employee in Kino PS. Her name is Eka. She went through all the trouble finding us the title, and also suggesting a couple of books to us. Now, that's what I call a "model shop-assistant". Always helpful and friendly to customers. Makes customers feel comfortable shopping there.
Anyway, Pika and I also went to Starbucks to eat and drink. I think we're addicted!!! Actually, I just went to Starbucks because I wanted to skip dinner at home (CHICKEN, again! >_<). Then we had our own shopping session. Yep, I went shopping again. ^^;; Spent money again... but I can't resist!!!! It's been such a loooooooooong time since I actually shopped for something else other than magazines. ^^;; So, I felt quite satisfied with what I bought.
I bought a cute pink striped bag and matching stationeries (I luuuuuv stationeries!!!)... then I grabbed two CDs and a VCD set.
I got Ken Hirai's old album, "The Changing Same", and.... LES NUBIANS' album! I'm so *SHOCKED*. FYI, Les Nubians is a French group. Genre: ethnic jazz (reggae type). Their music is soooooo cool. I used to listen to them on MCM, the very wonderful French music channel, which one day disappeared from my cable TV. >_< *cry* So now that I can buy their album... I'm so ECSTATIC. I can't wait to hear it!!! ^-^ (This album is actually an Indonesian-release... hmmm... I wonder how they ever managed to release the album here in Indonesia...)
But the bigger surprise was when I bought the Drink SMAP! Tour! 2002!... I was already planning to buy the DVD online from CD Japan along with Arashi's PIKANCHI DVD and all the CDs I had wanted to buy since a couple of months ago. I never though it would ever be released here... but since it was on display, I immediately grabbed it and bought it. It's pretty expensive, but I don't mind.
I'M A JE FANATIC TO THE MAX!!! I will buy everything and anything that I can afford from the JE groups I like!!! Heh, heh. I'm also thinking of buying my second copy of KAT-TUN's concert DVD... but maybe I'll just get the VCD. I like collecting stuff of the same thing on different forms. ^-^ (That explains why I have four different versions of TxT's "Hatachi": Japanese Box version, Overseas Bag version, Indonesian normal version, and Indonesian cassette version. LOL.)

*sigh* I'll finally start Japanese lesson again tomorrow morning. AT NINE A.M. That means no sleeping late today. I'm just gonna continue my Arashi scans and Junno translations and then I'm going to bed. Kardono will be very happy to hear that. ^^ Me be sleeping early.

But before I go, I'd just like to repeat birthday greeting for Cece:
HAPPY BELATED 19th BIRTHDAY!
The previous greeting was already archived. ^^

And also a BIG HI AND HUG for Mic. I miss you too! Too bad there was a problem w/ the connection that we couldn't continue chatting... I'll start the reply for you tomorrow after Japanese lesson. OK, Mic? ^-^ Take care!!!

When's Jenn coming back?? I miss her terribly!! I know she must be having the time of her life in Japan, but I miss talking to her. Yona, have you heard anything from her?? Hiks.

Whoooops. I'm drifting away from the topic here. I have to finish up on my work. So... I'm outta here for now.
