Phew. Gotta change layout now.

T________T
Bye, bye, dance princes! Luv ya! It's been great with you three. You'll be back. *kiss kiss*

^________^
I'll give myself a few hours before the new layout goes up. =P

Huahahahahahahahaahahahahaa........ what a perfect day to celebrate my bloggie's birthday!!! I was granted a wish today at my language school... it's a really nice one. ^-^ Fufufu. I feel so lucky. =P

THEY LET ME HANG A KAT-TUN POSTER IN THE CLASSROOM SO I CAN STUDY LOOKING AT KAT-TUN ALL THE TIME!!!

Fufufu. Indra-sensei and the admins are so nice to let me do that. Although I felt really bad for having to rip off the KAT-TUN poster from Myojo May 2003 to hang in class, when the poster was up, I felt, "Yippee yay!!! Now all I have to do now is turn to the right and see Junno + friends on the wall!" Huahahaha. It helps me study better, looking at Junno + friends' pic on the wall when I study. Hee hee. ^-^ *muach muach* I have to bring a cake on my b'day to thank sensei and the admins for doing me this great favor. Nyahaha.

Ehem, ehem. ^-^

I'm giddy right now. Thanks to that KAT-TUN poster. And the stuff I was learning today was easy, so it was good. Though I am having this period cramp that kills. Urgh. Well. At least it doesn't feel as bad as usual. Hiks. I wish I had concentrated better in class... but I couldn't because my stomach hurt. >.< Blahhh.

*sigh*
Doesn't it feel sad to say goodbye to three cute guys on the layout? I mean, Kouchan, Tsubachan and Junchan are all too cute to say goodbye to. ^^;; I have no idea why I wanted a new layout when I could hang on to these three on one layout forever. =P Oh well, I want to go back to the Dance Princes again one day. I hope I'll be around blogging for a long time so that it could happen. Hehe. Let me just finish my layout and I'll upload it tomorrow morning. Or should I upload it on the struck of midnight? Well, let's see how soon I can complete my layout. I also want to update my personal website, so maybe I can give myself a time limit. "Change blog layout after I finish updating the personal website".
I wonder why I keep treating my blog as if it's a magazine editorial? Like, I have to schedule the updates and time to change the layout as if I'm planning a magazine cover and contents. ?? I've been around my mom too much. Hehehe. I really think that's the problem. =P Fufufu.

Before I log off, I want to express my concern about Myojo October's cover.
SO WILL OR WILL THEY NOT BE ON THE COVER OF OCTOBER ISSUE OF MYOJO?! >.<
I'm talking about the infamous Jyaanis lovers duo, Tackey & Tsubasa. I opened September one and it was indicated that TxT would be on the cover. Then I read in Jenn's website that they might NOT be on the cover, according to the info in the Johnny's Jr. J-WEB site. So I went to the magazine's website and found out that... hee. There it's indicated that KAT-TUN might be on the cover?! ('Cause the logo for KAT-TUN's was put on the top and in larger size than the logo for TxT!!! >___<) I am seriously concerned.
Of course I won't mind so much seeing KAT-TUN on the cover, BUT WHEN WILL TxT BE ON THE COVER OF ANY MAGAZINE AGAIN?! They haven't been on any of it since WU April (I think). I don't think there was any other TxT cover after that one. Gosh. When am I going to see them together again?! I'm frustrated. This is exactly the reason why I seem like I'm abandoning the Tsubanamae crew thread in IT or the TxT board in JE. Every time I see their unit name, I get worried and sad and depressed, thinking about a lot of things... I still support them but I hate being in suspense, kept in waiting for something of them that wouldn't show up. >.< Hiks hiks. T______T
So for once, I really wish KAT-TUN (or anyone else for that matter) wouldn't appear on the cover of a magazine and let TxT have it. Please, please, please...

I better stop talking before I cry again. Hiks. Going sentimental is not allowed for me right now. Some good things have already happened and I don't want to ruin it.

And the housekeeper just ignorantly sprayed disinfectant and room fragrance while I'm still in it. *coughing mad* Dang it.

BONNE ANNIVERSAIRE, TOMATOE DIARY!

I am so stoopid. I read the dates wrongly. My blog's birthday is on the 19th, not the 20th! So, here I am saying happy birthday still with the Dance Prince layout! Hehe. XD But okay, I am going to savor the last moments that I am using this layout and I won't change it until tomorrow. And I'll be blogging three times a day today, just so I can enjoy Dance Prince longer. Then maybe after that I can go on another hiatus, thus making my new layout completely pointless. LOL. Nah, I am just kidding about going on another hiatus.

I remember the first time I blog I was using an Andy-Shinhwa layout. Hee hee. That was pretty cool. The tomato-ish red of the layout was memorable. Then I had the Fly to the Sky (whooopie the Tackey & Tsubasa of K-pop, I think! Nyahahahahaha... XD Miss them. Muach! One of these days I am going to make a cross over fanfic, of TakkixTsuba + FanyxBrian. ^-^) for layout model. And then I switched to... KAT-TUN, and that's when my blog officially became a Jyaanis blog. Hmm.

Speaking of Jyaanis, I have bought SMAP's 016/MIJ album. It's a good album. I always enjoy the mature sound of SMAP. Although even a group as young as KAT-TUN can beat them when it comes to vocals, I find SMAP songs very nice to hear and I am just as hooked to it as I am with Arashi's 3rd.
Btw... GEEZ!!! Can you believe?! SMAP GOT TO 16 already! And Arashi only 3... like, the gap is definitely there. It's just amazing. I mean, SMAP's career goes a long way. Every time I think about them or see them, I always feel a deep respect for them. They are true entertainers. They really, really entertain people. So, even if I'm a self-acclaimed Jyaanis New Generation lover, there will always be a place for SMAP in my heart. (Eww, I'm going sentimental already! XD Huahaha...)
But speaking of SMAP and Arashi, I somehow have the feeling that Arashi songs are SMAPpish. The sound and the variety of songs in their albums are very much SMAPpy. Not bad, Arashi. ^-^
I'm currently crazy of Tsuyoppon's song Shall We Tap. It's hilarious! I love it. Ohhh, my Tsuyoppon period hasn't ended! And I'm beginning to like Kimura's voice a lot. I was never a big fan of Kimura's voice (I'm all for Goro's voice!) but in this album, I think Kimura's voice is smooth. ^-^ Fufufu.

Still on Jyaanis....
I saw some pictures that freaked people out. Okay, so maybe they're not "freaked out", but there's a big fuss over it. Two pics of Jin and Kame kissing each other. It's not even confirmed that those two people are Jin and Kame. Well, even if it's true, no complaints from me. I'm all for the x, if you know what I mean. I feel nothing when I see those pics. No disgust, no admiration. Nothing. =P Am I crazy? Probably. Oh just one thing: HOW I WISH THEY WERE TAKKI AND TSUBA FOR REAL! Huahahaha. Yep, I am definitely crazy.
I prefer making for fuss over Aiba Masaki's pic and that girl. >_________< Dang it, now *THAT* pic looks REAL. It doesn't look doctored or anything. There's also a story that goes with it. I hate these kinds of stories. It reminds me of the Takki and Ami Suzuki story. I mean, Aiba is not even my fave Arashi member, but seeing that pic just gets to my nerves. ^^;;; Jealousy? Perhaps. I just don't like it. It's not something I can explain. I know it's just a pic and it's probably fake, but somehow I don't like seeing it at all. Oh it was a mistake to see that pic. Blahhhh...
Okay. Ranting done. I just needed to get that out of my system. Heh.

I just found out about Naoya Akama's fave senpai! It's Sho Sakurai! Fufufu! ^-^ Kawaii ne, Naochan. Lately, I've been thinking if I should make Sho my no. 2 fave in Arashi after Ohno. The reason for that is because:
1. Sho goes to uni
2. His star sign is compatible with me
3. I've been dreaming a lot about him
Hahaha. All these reasons are really ridiculous but after seeing Naochan's comment, I feel like, "Oh, Akama likes him so he's gotta be good." --> it's very silly, but I'm seriously considering Sho to be no. 2 fave in Arashi because of this.
Btw, I miss Naochan! T______T Hiks, hiks.
And now Yaotome has officially been made a member of Ya Ya Yah. Now they can be mini KAT-TUN. Hahaha. Six members in all. =P
Okay, I don't want to talk about Yaotome. I want to talk about Naochan. I've been looking at his current pics and I have to say he's getting more and more mature! He's still so young but looks so mature! He doesn't have that innocent look that Yabu has, even though Yabu is older than him! Yet, I like Naochan looking like this. He looks really confident and he seems like a boy with a strong character. I really hope he can have a large part in the Johnny's Jr. later on. =) NAOYA, GANBATTE!

Oh and just commenting on the news about HISH that I read on Jenn's website last week (I've never had the chance to comment on that although I found it shocking enough to worth a comment or two)...
Yukito Hagiwara is quitting?! >.<
It's always sad when someone leaves. I had to say goodbye to Shunta Miyagi a few months ago and now Yukito is leaving! He's not exactly my favorite but I like HISH because they dance really well... and thanks to Shunta's case, I am paranoid at anyone who leaves Johnny's Jr. Hiks. How terrible!!!
But more shocking to me is the rumor about Naoki Shimada! *faint* I almost had a hard attack when I read it. He's getting married?! NAOKI IS GETTING MARRIED?! Gyan. I mean. Heh. How old is he again? Noooooo. Naoki, noooo! I love you. LOL. =P Well, although I'm not that crazy about him. Naoki is my fave HISH member. It's just so shocking.

I seem to have a comment on everything so I might as well say it now while I'm at it. I just realized who Takahiro Moriuchi looks like. He looks like Kimura. Before anyone argues, I just want to point out that I saw him in last weekend's Shokura, during the backstage offshots, and he reminds me strongly of Takuya Kimura. His expression, especially, and the voice. I like his voice a lot. It's so sexy. I mean, a boy at that age who sounds sexy. That's telling you something. Heh, heh. And he's really sweet to Hiroki, his brother. Kawaii. ^-^ I couldn't stop smiling when I read their interview in July Wink Up. =)

*hosh hosh*
I am so tired.
Talking about the Johnny's Jr. makes me tired. =P LOL.
Why do I talk about them anyway? I dunno. I just felt like it. I think that's most important about blogging. Just talking about what you want to talk about. To get things out of your mind so it won't burden you. Sure we have to be responsible about what we write but in the end it all comes back to speaking our minds. I believe in this so I will continue to write what I want to write.

Time to go to bed now. Hopefully I will wake up earlier today. Not at 2.30 PM like yesterday. Hopefully I can wake up at 11 the latest. =P Heh, heh.

The magic words now:
Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas dejeuner
Je veux seulement oublier

Pyon. Here I Am.

Well, so, the hiatus didn't turn out to be that long after all. But for someone who usually blogs everyday, a half-week hiatus can feel pretty long. Not that I'm crazy about coming back to blogging either. It's not like I have anything important to write anyway.
Actually the real reason why I am blogging again right now is because right now I need to blog as much as I can with the Dance Princes. I am going to change the layout on Wednesday 'cause it'll be the 20th of August and that was when I first started blogging in this space... which means, yes, it's Tomatoe Diary's birthday. Just thought I'd do something special because I love my blog and I've learned and gained a lot from blogging. ^-^ (Though the "something special" is not really "special"... it's not like I'm giving away pressies or anything... just changing the layout.)

To be completely honest, it was nice those few days where I couldn't get online because of that bloody virus (and several other errors in my computer that had nothing to do with the virus). Sure, I miss going online but I could still do that with the expensive dial-up connection on the laptop. It's exactly because of the expensive dial-up, my days became more fun without the Internet. LOL. Because it's expensive, I can't stay online for too long, so I just spend two hours everyday on the Net and then I have the rest 22 hours of the day to do the things that I usually don't get to do because I spend too much time in front of the computer.

Let's see.
I went to PS last Thursday with Fi and we ate at Baker's Inn. Hee hee. The cakes are like the ones in Antique and they're all so delicious. They have Italian soda!!! I miss it a lot, so I drank the mint one which Fi thought tasted like mouthwash. I don't think Fi and Shez ever understand my obsession for mint-y drinks/food. So, it was nice going there with her and talk. I forgot what we talked about. Idle stuff, I think. LOL. I dunno. My memory escapes me. I had Japanese lesson in the afternoon, I remember. I was debating a lot with sensei. I feel kind of bad for being so stubborn but well I guess sometimes I just have to make my point with teachers.

Then on Friday... what the hell did I do Friday?
Ohhhhh!!! That was the day I became KameAmi! Yes, I am VERY MUCH KAMEFIED.
So, Friday was the day I went to the salon and had my haircut. Funny thing is, my hairstylist already *knows* that I would be following a male Japanese idol boy's hairstyle so the first thing he asked me, "Got the magazine of cute boys with you again?" Oh, I love my hairstylist! He is a darling! Hehehe. ^-^ So, I showed him Kame on the cover of Duet September and at that moment he decided, "Ami, we are going to cut and highlight your hair like his!" (I think his short-term ambission for me is to highlight my hair blonde. =P) Anyway, he cut my hair and when he saw Kame's hairstyle from the side (not the front), he said, "Oh, I don't usually cut hairs like this, but okay for you I'll make an exception." Then I asked him what he meant and he pointed out that the hairstyle is somewhat broken. Okay, don't ask me what that means because I have no idea. No idea at all. After the haircut came the highlight and he said he wanted to use the exact same color Kame had on that cover of Duet. I called my mom to see if it was okay that I had a hair like that. She said that as long as I don't bleach my hair, it's all right. Since my hairstylist doesn't approve of hair-bleaching either, I told her not to worry and expect a blondish daughter later at home.
(T___T Junno, I am so sorry I don't have your hair... but my parents won't let me bleach my hair. ~_~ Hiks. Hiks.)
So, yeah, now I am one third tsubAMI, one third junAMI, and one third kameAMI. ^-^ I have more nicks to use for myself. Maybe I should re-register in JE, IT and KG with these nicks. You know, for fun. ;P Hee hee.

Now, let me think... Saturday? I think that was when I went to PS and did a bit of a shopping. I bought necklaces and was on the verge of buying out a pair of black pants when my sister reminded me, "Hey, your magazines are waiting for you." Urgh. I hate it when she reminds me of it. I checked out my magazines. They gave me the Takki Fine Boys (btw, Tsuyoshi Domoto is on the cover of the September FB... when is Tsuba going to be there?! T_T), August PATiPATi and August WU. I took the last two because Rip Slyme is damn hot in PATiPATi and someone wanted to buy the WU (who is it, I dunno?). =P LOL. So, bye bye black pants. But next month I am definitely going to buy those pants.

Finally, Sunday... I woke up at two in the afternoon. Went online for a while until Denia called from her other aunt's home and told me that she was going to Town Square. Pika and I went there and... WHOA! My other cousins were there too! So, all six of us female cousins were there. Denia, Lia, Netta, Astri, Pika and me. We ate at a pizza restaurant and made so much noise. I mean, I can't even believe we all got along so well... Denia is 29, I'm 20, Pika is 17 and the others are 14, 13 and 12 respectively. LOL. Or is it because we have such a big age gap we got along so well? Or is just because we're cousins? I don't know.

In the course of five days since I announced my hiatus I've managed to watch tons of movies and finished reading a lot of books and even start listening to new type of music which I didn't even bother to listen in the past.
I watched "Miss Congeniality", "Head over Heels", "Sabrina", "The Wedding Planner", "Animatrix", "Chocolat", "Grease" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
I loooooove "Breakfast at Tiffany's". It's so... classic. =P LOL. I even did a research on Tiffany & Co. after watching that film! Hee. =P Then those sunglasses Audrey Hepburn wear! I want to have them too! (After I have them, then I'll probably make Tsubasa wear them because I think his face suits them more than mine do. =P) George Peppard is not bad. I just wonder why in those days, the men all look preppy. Is it because of the fashion? Hee hee. Imagine seeing those J-boys wearing something like that. Hahaha... imagine Jin Akanishi wearing a light blue cardigan jacket, a white shirt, a tie, and a pair of wool trousers. *faints* Hahaha. No, no. I think I can imagine JUNNO IN A SKIRT better than that.
Oh and "Grease" still rocks. No matter how many times I watch it, I still like it. Maybe it's the songs. Hee hee. I still think that John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are the perfect cast for the Danny and Sandy. There's chemistry. I like them there. I may not like them anywhere else but for that one film, I just like them. I see more preppy clothes... but this time I would LOVE to see J-boys wearing shorts (you know those tennis shorts; not the boardies ones), short-sleeved shirts and polo T-shirts, long socks and sneakers. Then they can do the 60s dance in an amusement park. I know there is a name for the dance but somehow since I was little, I keep calling it, "the duck dance". Hehehe. So yeah, let them J-boys do the duck dance. =D (Okay, my mom and dad are so going to smack me for calling *their* dance the duck dance... =P)

I'm sleepy again (I've only been awake for two and a half hours and I already want to sleep again. >.< So lazy...) I think I am going to end this entry. Oops, I'm yawning, I'm yawning. Pyon. Bleh. Hehehe.

Oh, last but not least:
KAR-KUN, ODAIJINI!
Kar-kun told me that he was involved in an accident yesterday. I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you get well soon, Kar-kun!!!
