I'm going to blog later on... but first things first...
This is especially for Yi Fang. =)

TRUE HEART (Japan version)
Music: M. Funemyr
Lyric: Goro Matsui
Arrangement: CHOKKAKU

I feel I do
Kono machi ni sakuhana
Inochi no nai kakera no yousa
I know I do
Keitai no memorii
Aitakunaru dareka ga inai

When did your heart stop loving me?
Kowaresou da yo
Iki wo shite kokoro ni furete hoshii noni
Why did my heart cry loving me?
Harisakesou ni
Ai ga naifu no you nan da
So hadaka no true heart

I feel I do
Koe wo wasureta boku
Kodoku ni tada kawareta torisa

When did your heart stop loving me
Kowaresou da yo
Meguri au subete kuru wa sete yuku
Why did my heart cry loving me?
Kizu wo nokoshite
Ai wa naifu no you nanda
So kawaita true heart

Itsu datte tooku bakari
Mukumori wo sagashiteru
Itsumo hitori
Ugokenaimama cry

When did your heart stop loving me? (loving me yeah)
Kowaresou da you (yeah yeah)
Iki wo shiteru kokoro ni furete hoshii noni (sore dake)
Why did my heart cry loving me?
Harisake sou ni
Ai ga naifu you nanda
So hadaka no true heart

Ohhh... wow...
My heart cry loving me

I feel I do
Boku wa koko ni iru yo

Yi Fang, here you go. Enjoy your singing! Unfortunately the link to your site doesn't work... (is it a blog?) Is something wrong??
I don't mind you using this for personal reason. =) I hope I have helped you in some way.
TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO USE THESE LYRICS FOR ANY PURPOSE, PLEASE TELL ME FIRST. I don't mind if you use it to sing alone at home privately, or in the karaoke, but don't put this lyric in your site or anywhere else without my permission. Okay?

I just got my Japanese exam result... it's 82.50 overall, from the kanji test and the written test. I did surprisingly well from the latter, actually. Didn't expect it. ^^;;;
Since I didn't really master the grammar stuff, especially the particles (I mean, how do you actually know when to use "ga" instead of "wa" or "de" instead of "ni", or how do you use "no wa" and "no ni"... ~_~; It's just too difficult - like prepositions in Italian and French.)

Yesterday I bought yet another Japanese magazine with Tackey & Tsubasa on the front cover. Man, these guys are everywhere... well, I ain't complainin' 'cause me just luuuuurve seein' them boys on the covers. They're so sexy... OH NO! Correction: Takki is sexy. Tsubasa is cute.
And there were doggies, too... too bad I'm not big fan of dogs... nothing against them but I had bad memories concerning them (no, I wasn't bitten. It's another sad story.)

Have I mentioned that I finished translating the articles on John Mayer and Vanessa Carlton (and another one about a concert featuring Alanis Morisette, Michelle Branch, Craig David, Ja Rule, Nelly and The Calling)???
I am so surprised to find that I worked on the article about Carlton much, much faster than the one about Mayer... somehow I found the Mayer article was boring. Mayer himself is not boring, of course, but the way that article was written just makes me want to scream, "BOOOOOOORRRRRIIIIIINGGG!!!"
The Carlton article was much more interesting, and way funnier... even though it still doesn't make me respect her as a musician (^^;;; it's not even an article about her music to begin with... =P)

Wuz wrong with my tagboard??? ~_~ I don't know what's happenening and today I just can't be bothered to find out. I just want to go to my room after writing this entry, get changed, snuggle inside the blanket, turn off the main light and turn on the small lamp and continue reading my Japanese magazines from where I left off yesterday evening... I don't want to be bothered.

Saa... I guess that's all for this "ordinary" day.
Just a day, an ordinary day...
My god... did I just sing Carlton's song there?! ^^;;;;
Man, Terry's gonna laugh at me... =P
Okay so, bye bye!

Whoaaaaa... I'm feeling a whole lot better since the terrible weekend that I had... =) Mostly due to Kyohei no Feli-chan... :D Hehehehe... she sent me these two cute modified pics:
-One is a comic strip-like story about Takki and me...
-Another is a wallpaper-like thingie, still about Takki and me... ^^;;;
I thank her so much for sending me these. I was smiling all day long on Sunday and even NOW I'm still smiling seeing these work of art! It's so cute.
It's not the fact that it's about Takki but it's the fact that a friend who is very dear to me cares so much about me to want me to smile, even though she can't actually see me smiling. *SUPER BIG BEAR HUG TO KYOCHAN'S FELI* =)

I've also been watching ANTIQUE, the dorama, and I cried like 6 times or so... ^^;;; I'm a sucker for romantic stories.
I cried when Eiji, the female guest who didn't get to marry even though she'd ordered the tenshi no hane wedding cake, and those kids ate cake together at the park (???).
I also cried when Munakata-san, the ex-cop who handled Tachibana's old kidnap case, accepted the cake from Tachibana while bowing in gratitude.
I cried when Eiji's ex-boxing boss came to eat the cake.
I cried when Momoko confessed that she was a reporter to Eiji and I cried again when Eiji told her that it was okay that his article was put in the newspaper.
And I cried when Ohno Yusuke cried listening to his brother's confession.
Aaaaaaaaaah... what a wonderful dorama!!!
ANTIQUE and HERO are my favorite J-doramas... ^_^

Yesterday, I finally slept early and had 12 hours of sleep, which was sufficient to replace the hours of sleep I lost from Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. =P
I read my Japanese magazines, with chronological order of the magazines' release date, and I couldn't help admiring the layouts of those magazines. Japanese magazines, be it a teeny-bopper magazine such as Wink Up, a serious music magazine like Pati Pati to fashion magazines such as Anan and Men's Non-no, generally have fantastic layouts. Makes me want to work in those magazines!! ^_^ It doesn't matter that I can't read the articles, just studying the formats, layouts, and looking at the pictures already make me feel satisfied that I spent my money on them. Very, very good.
Now, I'm saying this not because I'm into J-pop or J-entertainment... but I also collected European, American and Australian magazines, and comparing them to the Japanese ones make me realize how excellent Japanese magazines are in style, contents and layout.

Okay, I think I've rambled enough for today. ^^;;;
BIG BIG HUG as well to:
-Fi-chan... kapan mau main ke rumah???
-Ephi... layout barunya bagus lho!!! TOP DEH!
-k4r-kun... sesama penggemar Naohito Fujiki! TOPH!!! Loe mau pic Itou Hideaki? Kebetulan gue baru scan nih! ;)
-Ira... yg layoutnya sering bikin gue ngiri!!
-Dechi... sukses gak ulangannya??
-8282... pm menyusul! ;) Abis nonton Show Music Tank ntar malam yah... =P
-Terry... hope you're coping with school and have you seen my email?
-Enzo... grazie x il tuo grande consiglio! 6 il mitico!
-Enrica...anke tu, 6 una buona amica!
AND.......
-G.WAVEN MUBESU S4B KAWAII KILLERS' GIRLS!! YOU GIRLS ROCK MY WORLD!!! ;)

Ja, bye bye!

Social blogging gue kepanjangan nih, pakai bahasa Indonesia lagi... for the three non-Indonesians who frequent my blog:

Amichi lagi marah banget nih...
Soalnya di rumah komputernya digonta ganti, dituker atas bawah, pake ada komputer baru segala... Memang sih maksudnya biar Internet kabelnya bisa nyambung ke tiap kamar di rumah terus ada komputer baru krn PC gue yg lama udah butut banget, tapi nyokap ama orang yang masang gak nanya dulu ama gue file2 gue ama adik gue ada di mana... main seenaknya aja pindahin komputer. Terus gue suruh nge-scan di mana dong??? Itu file2 MP3 dan mpg yang udah gue download dgn susah payah ke mana sekarang??? File2 cerita dan artikel gue mau di print di mana kalo komputernya dipindah ke bawah tanpa printer?! GEBLEK BANGET SIH!!!! Pokoknya Amichi lagi marah dan bodo amat nyokap bokap bilang gue childish... I'm gonna throw a tantrum all day long! Nggak adil banget sih!!! Mereka bilang gue udah 20 tahun, tapi kenapa soal yang beginian gue gak diajak diskusi dulu sih?! RESEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'!!!!!!!!

For Terry, for Enzo and Enrica, who don't speak Indonesian, I'll tell you what this is all about in my personal emails for you, guys. Okay? Enzo, mi sono proprio incazzata!!!!!! Devo sfogare... ;( Spero che tu sia pronto... ^^;;;;

Oioioioioioi... ^^;;; Me back to blogging... =) Haven't been doing this for quite a while...
Well, what have I been doing... basically I was "hanging out" with Mubesu S4B Kawaii Killers in KG'S Asian Music thread. LOL!!! XD
Been downloading stuff, mostly crazy stuff of Gackt in the Domoto Kyoudai show. I also downloaded some commercials and shows with the utterly sexy and handsome Hideaki Takizawa.
Whoaaaaaa... talking about TAKKY... ^_^ I can't stop... he's just so kakkoi!!! Between him and Naohito Fujiki... I seriously don't know which one I want to kiss more at this very moment... =P

Speaking of Nao, there's him in Pati Pati magazine no.10, 2002 (that costs Rp 151.000,- in Kinokuniya Plaza Senayan --- and I actually bought it... ^^;;;;). There are pics and caps from his promotional video (pv) for the single, "So Long". He's in bed... ^_^ Oooooooh la la... what a feast for the eye!!!
And I also bought Fine Boys magazine no.10 2002, which also costs a lot ^^;;;;... cover is Takky in the front and there's a three-page article about him inside, and full page sized pics of him that made me drool... ^_^ Kyaaaaaaa....
But I'm actually pissed off with Kino... 'cause they don't have any other new magazine other than Pati Pati (which now there is no more since I seem to have bought the last, if not the only, ONE that's on the rack) and Fine Boys. ;___; Hiks... hiks... I want Junon no.11 and What's In no.10 or 11.... ;___; The one in Plaza Indonesia is MUCH worse than the one in PS... because not even those two magazines I mentioned above is sold in the one in PI. ;___;

Well, up until here... I'm just gonna say hi to all the people that I know online... Ephi, k4rdono (eh, ngomong2 loe main sering gak sih di thread Asian music tuh? kok sekarang jarang nongol?), Fi-chan, Dechi, Ira, Enrica, Enzo, Terry and.... my dear friend, Mubesu princess, Feli! LOL!!! ngaco berat... ^^;;;

I just added the Entertainment Page on the side bar, and there's even an article there already about Gackt and Hyde on the story behind the scenes of the filming of their movie. Made me sweatdropped... a lot... ^^;;;; Go check it out (especially you yaoi fans *laughs out loud*).

HISASHIBURI DESU NE, MINNA-SAN!
LONG TIME NO SEE!
MAH… QUANTO TEMPO È PASSATO CHE NON SCRIVO QUA…
*bows* GOMENASAI… ^^;;;;

With this change, let me explain how The Red Tomatoe Diary will work from now on.
So… I’ll be writing about some entertainment news apart from my daily ramblings, as my training to become a journalist in the future (I aiming to be an entertainment journalist ;)). I will also be including CD reviews, mostly of the CDs I have, and special recommendations of music and films. You might even find some lyrics here… ^^;;; Not that I’m trying to make a music website but I think it’s just fun to share some information with other people about the music I listen to.
Tagboard'll be on soon, too... ^^;;; I hope...
I hope you guys enjoy your visit here! :)
I'll start writing again tonight. ^_^ Now I have something else to worry about!

Note to layout goddess:
Fi-chan, arigatou gozaimasu. Gimana kalo gue kirimin gambar2 Naohito Fujiki supaya loe bisa bikin layout blog gue yg selanjutnya??? Terus... 100 gambar of your Sato-chan?? Boleh aja... tapi yg di majalah2 yg skrg ada ini sudah habis... ^^;;;
