Ora mi sento di scrivere il mio entry in italiano. E, per favore, ragazzi… non cercare di tradurre questo entry! (Perché probabilmente non voglio che nessuno sappia quello che scrivo.)
Poi tanto questo blog è mio … scrivo quello che voglio, in qualsiasi modo che voglia, e a me non frega niente se tu non capisci à So che di solito *qualcuno* sempre cerca di tradurre le cose che scrivo. Te lo dico io: è inutile, adesso basta!) Se non puoi resistere la voglia di sapere tutto i miei segreti che scrivo qua, allora va a studiare l’italiano all’Unistrasi! Sarebbe meglio così.
Ma, BEATI VOI CHE SAPETE L’ITALIANO! ^-^ --> O forse no, perché farò il grande rant oggio. (Cazzo, sembro proprio come la gente che scrive nei loro blogs i “rants” di depressione della giornata. XD Però, come l’ho già detto, questo blog è mio e mio soltanto… quindi scrivo quello che voglio, come lo voglio.)

Sono appena tornata dalla riunione x il Matsuri Festival. Quando ci sono arrivata, ero proprio sola!!! Poppy non è ancora venuta, e Sakai-san è stato molto, MOLTO in ritardo. Quelli che si sono seduti all’intorno della tavola erano tutti giapponesi, parlavano solo in giapponese, ed ero l’unica indonesiana tranne i camerieri là. Ma che incubo!!! Non volevo che sfuggire!!! Però poi un gentile uomo mi ha fatto sedere al suo fianco, e una carissima donna mi ha dato il programma della riunione e Nakagawa-san mi ha vista e mi ha salutata. C’era un po’ di calma… e allora un’ora più tardi, Poppy è infine venuta… ha pensato che non fossi ancora arrivata e ha aspettato fuori x circa 15 minuti. (Spiacente, cara…) Più calma…
Eppoi, all’improvviso, Nakagawa-san ci ha fatto sorpresa perché diceva sul microfono: “ed eccole, le nostre MC. Presentatevi.” E ha dato il microfono a me! CHE PAURA!!! >_< Già. È fatto. Non si può fare niente di niente. Mi sono alzata a mi sono presentata… in GIAPPONESE!!! (Minkkia, tremavo tantissimo, e non so se ho parlato giustamente…) Dopo la mia presentazione, la gente ha applaudito! Ma che?! ^^;; Cosa stranissima… (Penso che è stato il mio “yoroshiku onegaishimasu” che ha fatto loro ad applaudire). XD Vabbé, sono stata la primadonna per due minuti.

Il Sakai è arrivato DOPO CHE la riunione aveva finito. Che cazz’… sembrava stanchissimo quando è arrivato ma Poppy ed io gli abbiamo fatto le domande subito. ^^;;; Poverino… Mangiava mentre parlava con noi. Siamo curiossisime ragazze. Le domande ce n’erano tante… ma ci ha risposto gentilmente (CHE UOMO!!! LO ADORO! CHE CARINO, IL SAKAI!) Ma anche il suo telefonino squillava, squillava e squillava… alla fine, ha dovuto rispondere alla telefonata, e siamo lasciati nella compagnia di Nakagawa-san. Nakagawa è anche molto amichevole – proprio carino anche lui. Parlavamo tanto. Quando il Sakai è tornato, Nakagawa-san ci ha lasciati. (Nakagawa-san, ma Lei ha un figlio di 20 anni?? ^^;;; Mi piacerebbe conoscerlo! :P) La nostra riunione è finite alle nove. Già tardi, e sono dovuta tornare subito… ma adesso sono molto, MOLTO convinta di fare questo lavoro. Sarà una bellissima esperienze x la mia estate. Non ho ancora dubbi. Spero di farlo bene! ^-^

Adesso, il “rant”.
Basta con l’ipocrizia.
Se qualcosa non mi va, lo dico.
Allora ora dico: “Tu non mi rispondi di +. Ce l’hai con me? Sei gelosa di qualcosa di me? Non adoro abbastanza tanto quel bastardo che ami? Pensi di essere al centro di gravità? E allora, tu sei la cafona. Te la tiri fino al massimo, cara… mi fai schifo. Non sei neanche meglio di me… quello che hai, ce l’ho anch’io. E ce ne sono tanti che io tengo, che tu non tieni… MAI!!! MAI! Le amicizie che fai sono tutte superficiali. Almeno le mie… alcune sono vere. Poveraccia tu. Vera poveraccia. Purtroppo a te, cara, non me ne frega neanche se muori!!!”

PS: è la colpa di Tiziano Ferro che conosco cosi tante parolacce... XD TI AMO, TIZI! SEI IL MIO EROE!!!

For CECIL, because I know I owe you a fic. ^^;;; (But I'm on a pessimistic mode, so the atmosphere in this one is kind of... ANGST-y. =P)

PENALTY, RIVALRY
(Story of The Johnny's Academy)
(The following passage is fiction)

     “Tell me what time is it now!” Kokubun-sensei orders his students.
     “Ten,” thirteen people in front of him say.
     “What time does our school start?” the teacher calls out again.
     “Eight,” those people answer.
     Kokubun-sensei looks around dangerously, darting his eyes towards everyone who is there, including Kimura-sensei and Kusanagi-sensei. The latter then approaches Kokubun-sensei.
     “Kokubun-sensei, I think, it might be better if we just let them come to class this afternoon. I don’t mind,” Kusanagi-sensei says. Of course he doesn’t mind that they come late. These thirteen people usually create chaos in his class anyway so there is no point in keeping them inside for so long.
     Kokubun-sensei’s eyes flickers. “I do not agree, Kusanagi-sensei. These boys must be taught a lesson.” When Kusanagi-sensei is about to argue, Kimura-sensei pulls him back and tells him in an undertone that it’s better not to challenge the hardheaded Kokubun-sensei’s decisions. It can lead to other matters, Kimura says.
     “PREFECTS!”
     The Prefects Takizawa and Imai step forward. “Yes, sensei?”
     “I leave you to punish them. Kimura-sensei, Kusanagi-sensei, may I remind you that there are classes to attend.” At that the sensei turns around and leaves. Not so long afterwards, the other two exchange glances and then leave too. It is time for the prefects to take over.
     The prefects are not as strict as the teachers. They are basically friends with these thirteen bullies although they get headaches from trying to keep them out of trouble. These bullies are not easy to handle at all. Still, this time, the prefects decide to give them something that keeps them busy until lunchtime.
     Prefect Takizawa announces, “All right. Detentions! Shibutani, Yokoyama, Murakami, Nishikido, collect the garbage from the basketball court!” He turns to the next three. “Akanishi, Nakamaru, Ueda, go clean the karate doujo!” There are seven people left. “Maruyama, Ohkura, Uchi, Yasuda, cut the grass of the football field!” Finally, he turns to the last three. “Kamenashi, Taguchi, Tanaka, wipe the windows of the volleyball court!” He pauses. “I will send Masaki, Matsumoto, Ninomiya, Ohno and Sakurai to supervise your activities too. MOVE IT! NOW!”
     As the thirteen bullies start to move lazily to do their tasks, Prefect Imai calls out, “Wait, Taguchi!” Imai can feel the other prefect’s eyes on him. He tells him, “It won’t take long. I just need a word with Taguchi.” Finally his partner nods.
     Taguchi stays put. Imai advances forward. For a while they don’t speak to each other. They just lock gazes, the way Taguchi did yesterday with the prefect’s sister. From there, Taguchi just knows that the prefect is going to ask him about her.
     “My sister asked me about you,” Imai starts.
     “Your sister?” Taguchi replies nonchalantly as if he doesn’t know who he was talking about.
     “Ami,” Imai says. “She asked several times about you. She said you met her at the club the other day and you danced. You won’t admit you know her?”
     “Oh, she’s your sister?” Taguchi replies with a lazy smile on his lips. “You two look different.”
     Imai looks a bit annoyed at the fact that Taguchi doesn’t seem to take this seriously. He decides to make his point immediately. “Taguchi, I won’t allow my sister to hang around rule-breakers like you. I know you’re not like most of them, your friends, but you’re still not the kind of boyfriend anyone would bring to their parents, not the kind my sister would bring to our parents. If you ever…”
     The moment Imai’s tone becomes hard, Taguchi turns around and walks away. Imai calls out his name and orders him to stay put. Taguchi doesn’t stop, though. He just waves his hand towards Imai. Imai is ready to shout out his next punishment particularly for Taguchi when the younger boy suddenly turns around and says, “Senpai, your sister is safe from me. I won’t meet her anymore. You just make sure she doesn’t come to meet me.”

Hah. I can't believe it. Am I *that* blind*? How can I be so blind?! I've been nice to people, and it turns out to be that people are not nice to me. Not at all. And I always have to be the good one. Why do I put up with these people?! WHY?! That was sick, man. Just so sick. It just ruins my whole mood for the day. Ma che cazzo!!! I'm beginning to lose some of my faith here. Screw it. Screw everything. Screw anything. I'll just go drain myself in the sewer or something.

[EDIT]
Feel better. A therapy that works: TALK TO MOM. For once in my life, I'm glad my mom is my mom *and* a psychologist. It comes useful at times like these.

... and oh, lookie! I was so bored I made a TSUBANNER!!! It's ugly, but at least it's a banner. Those who want to put it in their blogs, go ahead. XD Nyahahahahahahahahaaha... Seriously, the banner helped lift my mood. ^-^ Yokatta. Tsubasa, you don't know how much you've helped today. One day I'm going to come to you and say thanks directly to you.

Thanks, Dary! You've also given me something to smile about, especially when you sang "I feel miserable, I'm scared... I hang on every word like, like there's a hiden meaning. It caught me unprepared. Now I'm climbing up the wall that stands between us. I keep hoping it's my imagination, playing tricks with my heart on this occasion. But I've just got this sinking feeling... So who's gonna drown now the dams about to break? Tell me if it's me, I gotta know. I'm strong enough to tell you that it's more than I can take - I'm just hanging by a thread, got a feeling I'm in over my head. Can't wait until tomrrow, gotta know tonight." You certainly made me feel better. ^-^ Yay!

And here's the last thing I got to say to that problem above: Just wait and see. I'm going to prove that I can do better than you. Thank you for all those insults you've been giving me so far. I really appreciate it. I was able to open my eyes, after all these times. Now I know what to call you. Hope you realize that you're the loser here and not me. Have a good life, cazzo. I know I will, now that you're out of my way.

JUNKO: The film is not lame, according to my opinion. It's a typical romantic comedy, yes, and I thought it was going to be a bad film, but it turned out to be very entertaining. Try to go watch it. ;) It'll probably make you laugh. I know I needed that film. It was able to make me happy for one and a half hours in this boring day of mine. XD And bring some friends to watch it. It'll be more fun! Btw, shiken ga owattandesu ne~ Otsukaresama. =) Hope you get a good result!

Monday, 9 June 2003 ♥♥ 09:19 p.m.

I just got back from the movies. My sister actually dragged me there and I was complaining about having to go to the movies while I have this seriously bad case of flu (gee I hope I didn't spread the disease there), but it turned out to be all right. I thought today was a day of ups and downs but it turned out all right after all.

I watched "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". At first I thought, "That's so 'my sister'. So not my movie!" And I didn't want to spend money on a film that I didn't want to watch at all... but then I thought, "Oh what the heck! Rather than sulk at home with this flu, I'll just go out and watch it." Well, I wasn't disappointed at all! It was a great film. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies and, though this one is pretty much like "Never Been Kissed", I just have to admit that I love it so much. I dunno. Maybe it was the clothes Andie wears, or the fact that Matthew McConaughey (okay, how do you spell this name again? ^^;;;) was such a DDG (in a way =P), or the fact that it involves magazine journalism, or just the comedy... I don't know. I just love it. I love it as much as I love "Two Weeks' Notice" and all Sandra's films. It's a really good chic flick. I might just watch it again if someone asks me to accompany her (I say "her" because it's really a girl's flick).

I'm reading Harry Potter again. Every time I get down with cold, I always grab HarPot to read. I have no idea why. I was sitting at Starbucks with that second book and I realized, "Hey! Wasn't the last time I read this book the time I had a high fever?" Then I decided, HarPot is my "fever book". I do not dare try to read Lord of the Rings when I'm sick. It'll just make my head spin more. No, no. Have I said already? I love Orlando Bloom's British accent. There. I love his accent. Speaking of HarPot, I think I'm in love with Tom Felton. ^-^ Oooooh, he's such a cute blondie boy. Blonde Bunny, he is. Friend of Baby Bunny, the milky white Japanese. (TERRY, LOOK WHAT THE PREQUEL HAS MADE ME DO!!!)

TSUBA-NAMAE BLOG CREW is up and running. So happy to see the names tsubalicious and tsubaholic under that header along with tsubAMI. Now who would've thought he could inspire such a crewship? ^-^ So, so proud of this new Blog Crew. I'm proud of all of my Blog Crews (which all adds up to TWO crews... but hey! XD It's something!)

AN ARROW TO THE HEART
(Story of The Johnny's Academy)
(The following passage is fiction)

     I come to the Johnny's Academy to meet my stylish brother who's one of the prefects there while my friends tag along because they want to check out all the cute guys in the school. I go into the grand administrative hall and ask the receptionist for Prefect Imai. I doubt anyone would understand the name, "Prefect Asa", which is what I call my brother at home.
     While my friends and I are waiting, a group of bullies come passing by. One of the bullies doesn't look like a bully but his sleeves are rolled up, his shirt is not tucked in, his hair is messy and he has a bruise on the corner of his lips, indicating that he's just been at a fight somewhere with his friends. Then I look at him and he looks at me. We don't say a word to each other because then my friends drag me away to the waiting lounge where they can see through the window the manager of the school radio, four handsome preppies and four student body's members playing basketball in the court beside the administrative hall. By then that bully who doesn't look like a bully who has been in a fight can no longer be seen. I can't help but feel dejected.
     My stylish brother the prefect comes in calling for my name and apparently he's come (with his sexy boyfriend, who is also a prefect) to ask me what I want. While my friends drool all over my brother and his friend and ask them the names of the guys playing basketball outside, I tell my brother that I won't be coming home early tonight because I'm going out clubbing with my friends so my brother the prefect should think of his dinner by himself.
     That night, I go out with my friends to a night club, and while my friends are having fun, dancing and all, I keep thinking about the bully guy.
     All of a sudden, my cell phone rings and I receive a phone call from my other brother, who is an alumnus in that school who's bringing the school club to the disco club where I'm at. That is my call to officially freak out, because the last thing I want is my night to be ruined by this one brother who's usually not sensitive enough about my feelings. However, I still cannot dissuade him, so he comes with some twelve people and I greet him by the door. The conversation does not have the affection of a brother and a sister at all (which is the case of my normal conversations with Asa), but this is our way of communicating. Tomoya is not the type of person to be taken seriously, and he knows better than to take his sister seriously either.
     "Why the hell did you choose this night club?"
     "Because you're here. I heard your friends are cute."
     "Oh, shut up! Which school club are you tutoring anyway? Like, YOU? A TUTOR?!"
     "Hey! I happened to be the best fighter in the Academy back in my days. And so I brought the Academy's Fight Club."
     "There's a FIGHTING CLUB in that school?! Hmph. Boys will be boys. Asa will never join such club. He's a gentleman. He--"
     I stop my complaining there because then I see him. THE BULLY! What, I think, He is a member of the fighting club! As it turns out to be, the members of my brother's fighting club are... THE BULLIES OF THE SCHOOL!!! There are thirteen of them in total, fourteen with my brother, and they are all looking extremely hostile to one another. The cute bully suddenly realizes I'm there and he suddenly smiles at me.
     And, damn, at that moment I just know... I've lost my heart to him.

Before I forget...

TSUBA-NAMAE BLOG CREW

^-^ Here are rules, regulations and how to join!

1. You gotta be a *REAL* Tsubasa Imai fan.
Meaning: You don't join because you think it's cool to be part of a Tsuba/Johnny's clique, but you join because you really do love and appreciate Tsubasa's talents, looks, fashion, belly, butt, whatever.

2. Must pick a *VERY UNIQUE* name to be combined with Tsubasa Imai's name.
You can combine it with Tsubasa/Tsuba/Basa/Uba/Basa/whatever.
When I say UNIQUE, I really do mean unique. Make it ero, make it silly, make it lovely... JUST MAKE IT UNIQUE. And no copying!!! Be original. The name also has to relate to yourself somehow (e.g. I am tsubAMI because I want to be Tsubasa for real. I would love to have his body and one of these days, I'm going to steal his clothes).

3. Later on, you have to link all of the members of this Tsuba-namae Fellowship.
Text link would be fine. No banners, that's all right. If any of you are kind enough to make banners for the fellowship, it will be very much appreciated. But remember to link ALL OF 'EM!!! And make sure you put the links on a place where people can see it (being a bit of show-off here, us Tsuba fans. XD Heee....)

4. Respect!!!!
ALWAYS respect your fellow Tsuba-namae crew members. You must also respect ALL OTHER JOHNNY'S TALENTS. I underline the importance of respect again and again because these days, a lot of people don't have that anymore, for anything. I don't want the members of the Tsuba-namae crew to be of that kind of people. So please, RESPECT EACH OTHER & THE ARTISTS!

5. The way to apply:
Tag the founding members!
Tsubalicious (Yona)
tsubAMI (Amy; me!)
Tsubaholic (Jenn)
Please state: your normal name (I mean, your non-Tsuba name), your Tsuba-name, and your blog/website URL.
If we decide your Tsuba-namae is funkee, we keep you. If not, we will wait until you find a better name to keep. But it doesn't really matter, what matters is OUR LOVE FOR TSUBA!!! Iinjanai no? ^-^

Lastly, THIS IS NOT A CONTEST. It's not a thing to come up with the best names for Tsubasa. It's a our way of loving Tsuba and having fun and beeing cheeky at the same time.

So what are you waiting for? Register your Tsuba-names quickly! ^-^ We be waiting for ya!

Phew! Well. That's done. If tsubalicious and tsubaholic wants to add something, please tell tsubAMI and I'll add it. ;) Nyahahaha.

Anyway. Feeling better today. I still have runny nose and my throat hurts when I swallow but other than that I'm good. I wonder if it's because watching Anthony Bourdain's show on Discovery T&T last night. Or probably it's because of Darius' music. (I still can't believe I'm listening to something other than J-music!!!) Anyhow, I went out for lunch with my family at this (expensive ass) Japanese restaurant today. And when I got home, I was inspired. I'm starting a new project.

The project is called:

I GIORNI NOSTRI

It means "Our Days" in Italian. I'm going to write about my Italian experience. I've always wanted to do this since last year but I haven't been inspired. I wanted to write it in Italian but I thought that would be too ambitious for now, so I'll just start it in English and later translate it in Italian. This project is like an auto-biography, but it will only cover some six months of my life (and maybe a bit more). I want to write it because I want to train myself to become a better writer. Then, on the ambitious side, I would like to publish this story. That is, if it's good enough. (Terry, help me! Be my editor, please!!!) In any case, this story will keep me busy for a while. Now I have something else to do besides reading Japanese and working on my Junno website. Exciting.

Okay, I shouldn't get too worked up about getting my magazines late. I mean, I have more magazines to last me a lifetime here. I just looked around my computer room and I just realized how magazines are swarming in this place. Not mentioning all the books and CDs I put around here. My dad is surely complaining about how the room is losing its elegance (LOL! This room was intended to be a guest parlor! ^^;;;) because all the stuff I put in here. I should get it organized once again. (Why is it every time I clean it up, it always gets messy again less than a day?! Am I that sloppy in the computer room?! ^^;;;) Okay, so I'll lay off the magazines for a while. I have yet to read some of them anyway, and I've already got myself another reading material: Kimura's KAI-HO-KU. Gyah.

But oh, I will be *DEVASTATED* if I don't get that July WU with KAT-TUN on the cover. Gya, gya, I can never get enough of magz with KAT-TUN on the cover! >_< I need to get it ASAP. HOW TO GET IT?! DAMNS.

Oh I came up with this idea, if I were to make a school academy filled with all Johnny's boys, TxT will be prefects, Arashi will be the student body organization members, KAT-TUN will be the (extremely) cool bullies (heartthrobs), Kanjani 8 will be the opposing bullies' gang (heartthrobs again) -- then the two will fight for honors -- while Four Tops will be the handsome preppies (heartthrobs too), KKKITY will be the normal, sweet boys-next-door (even more heartthrobs), Jimmy and FIVE will run the school radio, Toshin & ABC will form the cheerleading club, MA and HISH will be the jocks.
School superintendent: Noriyuki Higashiyama
Headmaster: Shigeru Joshima
Deputy headmasters: Masahiro Nakai (operational) and Masayuki Sakamoto (academic),
Teaching staff: all Johnny's talents above 26 (that includes Akira Akasaka and the rest of Shounentai members, and also that handsome super-senpai Matsumoto someone -- what's his name???)
Then we also have the alumni who will come to the school to tutor their juniors... Dohmoto-senpai 1, Dohmoto-senpai 2, Nagase-senpai, Matsuoka-senpai, Okada-senpai, Morita-senpai, Miyake-senpai, so on, so on.
There would also be the elementary school kids picking up their bros and dads (Ya Ya Yah) after school.

Nice school. Will it ever exist?

Saturday, 7 June 2003 ♥♥ 09:43 p.m.

Shitty morning, fun afternoon, boring evening. I don't even know why I'm writing here. This is how bored I am. Like, I don't know what to write, but I'm still writing.

So I bought my first non-Japanese CDs in months. I've been going on so long without buying a non J-pop CD. Today I went to the record store and grabbed three albums at one buy. Daniel Bedingfield's "Gotta Get Thru This", Darius's "Dive In" and the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack. My sister was shouting at me over the phone, "WHAT?! YOU LIKE THAT KIND OF MUSIC?!" And my friend shrieked when she found out I was buying non Japanese albums. ^^;;; Dang. They've labeled me the J-pop freak. XD LOL! Which is true, anyway. Even I myself feel so weird buying these albums. XD

I spent so much today, particularly because after those CDs, I went to Kino and bought Takuya Kimura's "KAI-HO-KU". I wasn't going to buy it but then I looked at his photography work, and I was immediately interested. It's not much of a photo book... there are lots and lots of writings in it. Like short essays? I want to read it. So I bought it. ^^;;; Mom and Dad are so going to freak out. XD

I'm sick. Why does every time my sister catch cold, I also get it?! >_< It's hard being sisters with the same blood type. We don't even share the same quarters!!! >_< I hate being sick. I should probably get some rest now but there's so much I want to do now. *cry*

Iya. I have to be strong. I must study for the kanji test first, translate Junno articles, write Shokura reports, and watch Tony's show on Discovery T&A. GANBARIMASU.

Friday, 6 June 2003 ♥♥ 11:49 p.m.

EVEN NEWER ENTRY 11:49 P.M.

Yo, people, chill. ^^;; People are taking me way too seriously about the Japanese university entrance thingie. Nope, I won't be heading there anytime soon, though I have to admit, Japan's definitely on the top list of options of study destinations. I don't even know what I want to study. So, don't get too excited. I'm not even too excited about it. My Japanese is still so crappy even. @_@ Gyah.

Speaking of Japanese... the thing that happened in the lesson today... is this how long I haven't been writing anything in Indonesian?! @_@ My sensei asked me to translate a reading into Indonesian and I failed miserably. He commented, "Your translation is not flexible. You're not getting the point. What are you trying to say? This isn't like you." >_< Talk about feeling down. Then I requested that I redo the translation at home. And I just did it. I figured out what my problem is. I found it easier to express things in the international language. It's just so weird. And I'm supposed to be Indonesian. And Japanese is usually easier to translate to Indonesian than English. @_@ I should start practice writing in Indonesian. I don't think I can be a versatile writer if I don't know how to write in my own language.

So I updated Tabunny.com today. I was raving about "the rumor" and I put in some Pattaya pics.

Now, about the Pattaya pics... I found some in Potato magazine (May) in which Junno was together with Jimmy Mackey. There are like three pics of them together. Those two DDGs. My sis and I were, like, "WOW!!! Our boys together on the same camera!" ^-^ Then I found Jun & Jun!! Junno and Hasejun together!!! I want to use that for avatar but unfortunately the pics are way to small to even be made as an avatar and it's not like you can see their face. But I was so excited about seeing the both of them together. ^-^ My two baby Juns. XD

LOL! I'm laughing at this stuff right now... THE ULTIMATE IDOL SMACKDOWN from TIME Asia, 29 July 2002, when they were doing a coverage of the payola scandal of K-POP.
Back then I hadn't got back into full J-pop mode and I certainly haven't taken Johnny's seriously, but I definitely was already familiar with the two Johnny's artists that featured in this smackdown thing. I didn't have much comments back then; I just laughed it off. I thought TIME was being seriously cheeky, but I loved the joke. I dunno. Looking back at it now (I was bored and stressed yesterday so I decided to read something that wasn't written in Japanese; opened up all of my TIME magazine collection), I thought TIME could light up the anger of the fanatics of Kimura and Takki. But then again, I love the way they wrote the comments on the two of them. Not that I'm admitting what they say is true, but I just found it a good laugh.

This is what they said about:
TAKUYA KIMURA
Japan. Fighting style: Praying mantis Strengths: Singing and dancing ability makes him suspiciously close to being talented Weaknesses: He's old enough to actually remember the '70s
HIDEAKI TAKIZAWA
Japan. Fighting style: Freestyle Strengths: Beefed up his physique to play a boxer in a TV drama Weaknesses: He beefed all the way up to 50 kilos-or the size of Hrithik Roshan's lunch

Cheeky, indeed.

By the way, who in the world is HRITHIK ROSHAN?! XD LOL! Anyone ever seen his Bollywood films? Gosh, I sure would love to know what man could eat a lunch the size of Takki's weight. =P Oh and, by the way again, I'm really, really surprised F4 didn't win the smackdown. This Hrithik man "stomped them all over". Then the man Hrithik lost to the man who were champions of the smackdown. They lost to the group who was described by TIME as "they could still lose eight members and still outnumber 'N Sync". Figure it out. =P

Oh by the way, the description they had of Kang Ta here applies the same to KAT-TUN boys. ^^;; LOL!!! "Easily distracted by reflective surfaces of any kind". LOL! LOL! LOL! (I wonder if Taya and KAT-TUN would check their hair do using my very *reflective* white sports shades I bought in Italy. I check my make-up using those shades. LOL!)

I better get some scanning done tonight. Arashi pics, topless boys pics, AnAn pics... I'm going to post up the Tsuba-Namae Blog Crew Rules tomorrow. I need to consult Tsubalicious for the rules, since she started the idea of making the blog crew. XD

NEW ENTRY 12:50 P.M.

^-^

I'm calm now. Cool. Yay.
Temporary leave???
Now, are you sure about this?!
Though I'm happy that hanapanda corrected the news, I'm still taking safety measures.
I'm moving to Japan. I'M GOING TO MOVE TO JAPAN TO ENTER UNIVERSITY THERE! THE SAME UNIVERSITY WHERE JUNNO WILL ENTER! Gah.
The things I do for this boy.

PREVIOUS ENTRY 10:49 A.M

SHOCKED!!!

Sorry, Yona, the Tsuba-Namae Rules must wait until I finish venting out...

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I can't believe it, I don't want to believe it!!!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!
PLEASE NO!!! >_________________________<
Please don't let it happen.

CRY

Someone said in the JE Forum, after KAT-TUN's concert Junno's going to drop his work to concentrate on his studies to enter university. Hiyaaaa.... >__________< I can't believe this is happening. Of course it's a rumor, no official confirmation from Junno himself yet but...

I'm shocked. Shocked to the max.

At one point, I'm so VERY PROUD of him that he's ambitious enough to want to continue to university. And I have the faith that he would do well in his studies. I just know he would!!! He's a hard-working person. Now I think he's even more ambitious than me!!! And I always admire and respect people who have the will to learn more, even when they have an important career to build. Like Sho, Kazapon, Akijun and Koji Makino... they're all in university and they didn't quit entertainment. Gya, gya... what if he becomes like Yuki Kohara?! =O Quit the Juniors completely to concentrate on his studies??? >_< I won't see him again, then, will I? I have nothing against him studying but I'll be so totally heartbroken if I can't see him anymore.

Someone tell me, QUICK!!! Which uni is he entering?! I'm applying there next year! XD Huahahahahahahahahaha...

Okay, I'm going to apply the "Pippo-Heartbreak-Act" to this Junno news. Back in high school, I skipped school and stayed home because I was heartbroken about something he did (like, date a blonde showgirl whose tits are bigger than the brain). Now I'm going to skip Japanese lesson and cancel all of my appointment to ponder on this thing. It will be the "Junno-Nervous-Act". If this news turns out to be true, I'll do a "Junno-Complete-Heartbreak-Act". Don't expect me to show up anywhere for maybe six months or so... because then I'll be studying real hard to get to the university where he's going to study. XD Nyahahahaha...

That's the only way I can make BabyBunny.com keep on going. XD I can just imagine the NEWS. Junno entered late for his class today. The professor scolded him. He looked regretful, but he joined the class anyway. There was a quiz. He did well. The prof gave him an A despite his tardiness. And my POVs would be Junno doesn't deserve a public reprimand like that!!! That prof's an idiot!!! Humiliating my Junno in front of the whole class. But at least he got an A! YAY, GO JUNNO!!! Good luck on your next statistics exams! ^-^

Thanks to everyone who sent me private email and also voted and commented on the JE Forum TxT thread about Takki's drama, "Strawberry on the Shortcake", which helped me to compile materials for the article written in Gadis magazine.

Here's a view of the article.
++ CLICK! ++

I'm so sorry if you can't read the words. I didn't scan it for reading purposes. ^^;; This article is copyrighted by Gadis magazine (while the scan is copyrighted by me). So, don't post it anywhere else or steal the scanned image. ^^;;; Oh, and if you clicked and can't see anything that means bandwidth overlimit. Try again later, ne~

I wonder if this means, I'll be receiving my paycheck soon. (Gee God, it took me three days to search and translate everything I could find on the Internet about this and the article's only one page long?! @_@) Oh well... I was mentally exhausted thanks to this article and I'm traumatized: I don't want to watch the drama, EVER. ^^;;; At least give me compensation for the trauma. Nyahahahaa.... [MOM, WHERE'S MY PAYCHECK?!] Nyahahahahahahahaa... XD

[ADDED ENTRY AT 2:59 P.M.]
ARASHI BLOG CREW
I just want to say, I *finally* managed to see all the files. Problem is, I have to *trigger* it first by clicking the "UPLOAD FILE" function. When the pop-up box appeared, all the other files appeared. ALL of them. They're all still there. It's a good idea maybe to delete some of the older files. I need to remind Aiba-f to download the files she wants first, before we delete any. Okie?
For trial, I uploaded a file called "KAT-TUN - [TV] Junno Jump". ^^;;; Hahaha. If you guys are interested to see, go ahead and download it! XD Hehehehe. It's really cool. Junno doing rope-jumping. He's so sweet. XD ... okay, okay, I'll stop. LOL! =P

The following schedule for Arashi Blog Crew:
- Scan Arashi pics from Wink Up & Duet
- Scan Nino pic from AnAn 1360
- Upload files requested by Nino-y

Any other requests, guys?

[ORIGINAL ENTRY]
I didn't want to blog. ^^;; Hahaha. I thought I had been so talkative last night writing two entries consecutively, though one is basically a song lyric. But all right, what the heck.

Messages, messages...

FI-CHAN
Zettai scan suru yo! I will scan AnAn pics for you. How can I not scan them for you? ^^;; I feel so sorry Kino raised the price on the magazine so you couldn't buy it. (That, and also I'm your best friend. No matter what, I'm stuck with you... so whatever you do, I still do things for you. XD Huahahahahaa... I dunno if this is good or bad but, I think that's the way thing goes between us). You're definitely going to live Tsumabuki and Okada's pics!!! They're CHO-KAKKOII! Both pics are layout material. So please use them for a layout one day. XD

TERRY
There was an accident this morning. I was writing the prequel and suddenly the computer hung. >_< Stupid, stupid comp. >_< The Document made a recovery file but when I tried to save it, it hung again. Heee. I was pissed off. I turned it off without saving again. I lost everything I'd just written after I chatted w/ you. I decided to sleep because Junno was complaining I haven't been spending enough time with him lately. (WHAT?! JUNNO-SAMA, I'VE BEEN SLAVING MY ASS TO WORK ON YOUR WEBSITE!!!) He's just demanding. XD

YONA
Okie, I'll definitely try to download those songs. Let's see if it works. But what fanfic are you talking about? =O Which fanfic?? ^^;; (Why am I the one confused here? XD LOL! My brain's seriously contaminated...)
Oh yeah! We have to start a Tsuba-nickname clique!!! LET'S DO IT!!! What are the rules? No rules? Just come up with the cutest/sexiest/funniest/whatever-est nickname for Tsuba??
Well, So far we have tsubAMI (me; most narcissistic 'cause I put my own name together with his name. ^^;;), and you have tsubalicious (most delicious-sounding name, IMHO! XD). Kar-kun already has Tsuba-P. Anyone else interested??
JENN
Jenn, what are you going to have?? XD LOL!!!

I'm serious about this. I want to show off this clique. TSUBA-NAMAE BLOG CREW! It's just so cool. Argggh...

Which reminds me...

Now I have a Yahoo! Japan ID! ^_____________^
I had wanted to make on since a long time but since I have so many Yahoo! IDs already I didn't want to confuse myself. This morning at one, I was bored however, so I decided to do something crazy and boring too. :P I signed up for a Yahoo! Japan ID!

Well, not that I'm going to use it anywhere but I'm so proud of it because it's.... tsubami18!

Tsubasa: YATTA!!! Subarashii ID desu yo, tsubAMI! ;)
tsubAMI: Hontou?? YAY! Ureshii kedo... ^-^
Tsubasa: Demo, Junno to Takki wa urayamashiku naranai kana~ =O
tsubAMI: Ah! Iichatta... >_<
Takki: Yappari, urayamashii. ;(
Junno: Sou. Urayamashii. ;(

Next time, I'll make:
takami18@yahoo.co.jp
and
aminosuke18@yahoo.co.jp.
Huahahahahahahahahahahaha.

TADAIMA! ^-^ I archived the previous entries.
Eh, this is my 2nd entry for today. ^^;; What a chatterbox I am today.

Plug: The Milk White: JUNNOSUKE TAGUCHI
Updated the Junno website although I haven't put up the magazine article summaries yet. I'm such a perfectionist. I don't want to post anything that I'm done with. I need to work more on the translations. This is where I'm perfectionist again. I want to translate all the important things although it's extremely hard for me to read or understand. Demo ganbarimasu. Hope I don't get discouraged again. ^^;;;
Note for all Junno lovers & lovers of topless Johnny's guys: Check out the Milk White Gallery. Nyahahahaha. Topless Junno. ^-^ SEKUSHII DE KAKKOII!!! *kiss kiss*

If there were two things I could have died of last Sunday and Monday, they would be: BOREDOM and EXHAUSTION.
Sunday was particularly boring. Nothing to do. So my sister and I just started downloading all the Nike, Adidas and Pepsi football campaigns. Like, how bored can you get?! But those CMs were actually good for my mood. I was able to laugh because of them even though just a bit. From the way I keep talking about ads lately, you'd be thinking I'd major in advertising if I do go to uni or something. But no... I'm just in it for the art. :D Hee.
Monday was extremely exhausting... not just physically but emotionally. I was frustrated. The only highlights I got were: eating okonomiyaki and receiving a compliment for my Japanese. Oh, and the person who complimented my Japanese is a Japanese woman working in Kinokuniya. She is so nice! ^-^ I can't wait to meet her again. We actually work together in the same committee now. When I told her I learned my Japanese partly from reading magazines bought at the bookstore where she worked, she looked so surprised and pleased. :D Hehehehe.

CECIL, DOUMO ARIGATOU!
Cecil is my hero now. ^-^ She sent me Wink Up June 2003. =) It arrived today. I'm just so ecstatic. Everyone is so kakkoii there... Tsubasa especially! Dear God, TSUBASA, ANATA WA HONTOU NI KAKKOII DESU!!! TSUBAMI WA ANATA NO STYLE GA DAISUKI DA YO! SORE DAKE JANAI... ANATA NO EGAO MO DAAAAAAAAAAAISUKI!!! I can't breathe. He's just so cute. @___@ Jenn was right. He *is* SOOOOO APPEALING THERE.

Layout design! Layout design!

I got my AnAn 1360 and Myojo July 2003.
WHY OH WHY I CAN NEVER RESIST BUYING THAT ONE MAGAZINE WHICH IS OFTEN SO UNFAIR TO MY FAVORITE GROUPS AND JOHNNY'S TALENTS WHENEVER I SEE A PIC OF JUNNOSUKE TAGUCHI INSIDE?
It must be love, desu ne?

Oh forget about Myojo... TALK ABOUT ANAN!!! First of all, it's EXPENSIVE. They raised the price by 50%!!! >_______< Damn you, Kino. But it was worth it. It has all those cute eye candies... Fujiki, Hirai, Kimura, Kusanagi, Nagase, Ninomiya, Okada, Tamayama, Tsumabuki it even has a pouting Pippo Inzaghi inside! ^-^ *MAJOR DDG FEST* The pics are BEAUTIFUL. MAGNIFIQUE.
Okay, so I was a bit disgusted by Nagase's pic there. He's wearing pink again. Tsubasa can wear pink, but Nagase should stick to any colors but pink. Please! And his pose... leaning towards Matsuoka. WTH...?! The v.2003 of Sakuraba is definitely more handsome than the original Nagase lately. ^^;; (Maaf, Bang, gue ga maksud ngehujat tapi loe memang bener2 norak pake baju pink).
Why is Nino the only Arashi being featured in there? But he looks cho-kakkoii!!! (Arashi Crew, wait for my scan and reports!)
I'm just disappointed there's no Takki and Tsuba. ~___~ At least last year there was Takki. I forgot where I put the Takki scan. >_< Eck. I should borrow last year's edition of AnAn from Fi-chan again.
The two-page-spread Kimura pic is... just... breath-taking. And the silk kimono he's wearing costs 733,000 yen and it's by Tom Ford for Gucci. @_@ That's like, expensive-ass... and it looks so good on him. (Why won't Junno wear something like that and pose like that?!) Go, sensei! You rule!!!

Question of the day:
Why won't ABSOLUT make an ABSOLUT JOHNNY'S campaign?!
^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

ONE DAY

by Jimmy Mackey + FIVE
Words: Jimmy Mackey
Music: Rikiya Nakaegawa
(from Za Shounen Club, 18/05/2003)

One day I found my treasure
One day I found my dream
One day I found my mistake
One I day I promised I won't forget you

I can cry for your smile forever
We can stay together
Let's find that little butterfly
Never say another word

** I want you to be happy although you said goodbye
I hope you're still happy, I won't forget you

I can't live with this feeling forever
If you want me I'll never, never, never
Never, never say another word

Repeat **

I want you to be happy although you said goodbye
If you stayed I would be happy
Because I'm still deeply in love with you
Deeply in love with you

Not bad, Jimmy. I can understand your English! ^-^ Although... did you make me think so hard for the point of your song on purpose?! ^^;;
My sister was smarter. She said the song's about a girl who's leaving him. Then she went on, "Obviously, he won't ever need to sing this song if *I* were his girlfriend." LOL! (Pika-chan, sometimes I can't believe you're not a Johnny's fan. You sound totally like me when you talk about Jimmy! XD)
I'm giving a well-deserved applause to Rikiya of FIVE. I can't believe he composed this song! It's just so cool. I think I'm going to support Jimmy & FIVE 100% from now. What's their unit name going to be? Jimmy & FIVE?! (That's like Tackey & Tsubasa... ^^;;;) How about Goodwill? ^^;; Huahahaha! XD
