__end of september__ still <3ing KAT-TUN!

[Sunday, 5 October 2003]

I spent a good part of the evening mentally writing a draft for this blog entry and I still don't know what's the best way to write it. A lot of things happened on Saturday and I want to talk about some other things that don't have any connections at all to the events of Saturday so I really don't know where to start. But I suppose I'll start by posting some pictures.

These ones are for Dessey. Promised to show her these:

Actually I have the bigger pics but I haven't uploaded them yet. @_@ Sorry. I am currently downloading some stuff and the upload will make the download slower so I decided to just upload these smaller pics. ^^;; Anyway, yeah, this is Tomoya Nagase. He's supposedly Japanese but I suspect that somehow he's got an Indonesian blood in him because he seriously looks Indonesian. ^^;; I can picture this Nagase as my older brother (Abang Tomo!) because he doesn't look Japanese at all in these pics! ^^;;; Ahhh... strange wonders. :P LOL.

Oh and... I applied for a fanlisting.

Can't believe I even took on the responsibility of managing an FL. @_@ I mean, it's not like I don't have enough to do with Tomatoe Diary, Milk White and Absolut Tomatoe. And I haven't even finished the Daigo Stardust FL!!! ^^;; But Tatsuya Ueda FL comes faster. *sigh* I hope I have the energy to maintain the FL. It's just that, all the other KAT-TUN members have their individual FLs already and my wish is for ALL SIX OF THEM to have one and since there is no sign of an Ueda FL on the way, I decided to take on the project. But I loved doing the layout! ^-^ It's really fun. This is my current style of layout designs. :D Hehehe. And Ueda is so sexy there. ^^ Ueda is more handsome than I thought (probably because these days he looks like Gackt and Gackt is just an amazingly handsome man despite his out-of-this-world manners). :P

So. On to "current events".
I met up with Freya and Kar-kun. It's a QUASI gathering. I call it "quasi" (which in Italian means "almost") because there were only three of us (Mic couldn't join us) and Kar-kun only stayed for half of the whole gathering. LOL. And it was one of those *IMPROMPTU* gatherings because we only planned it an hour and a half before we met at Kino PI. ^^;; I woke up to find an SMS from Freya and she said that she missed having a gathering (might as well let you know that we've abstained from having rendezvous-à-quatre for a whole week ^^;;) and the feeling was mutual with me. So I told her, "I could meet you up today if you'd like." She responded positively and she contacted the others and then we made an appointment to meet at Kino PI. I'm rather glad for the "outdoor" distraction. I could go crazy if I stayed at my house one more minute. @_@ I just hate being at my house at this moment. I'm not having problems with my parents or anything but I've been staying in it for too long with kanji books around me. I needed to get away.
Anyway, we had lunch at McDonald's and chatted there. Kar-kun had to leave for his tax course (sugoi, ne~ tax course every Saturday. I wouldn't have stood a chance! ^^;; Would have dropped out on the second week! :P) Fre and I continued alone. We gossiped a lot. KJH etcetera. :P LOL. (The "etcetera" contains of one topic that keeps repeating itself... :P LOL!)
The funniest part had to be when Fre and I were at the Sogo Supermarket. We went there because Fre had to buy, erm, salt. ^^;; We compared prices at Sogo to other supermarkets. Then we were offered this sample of a snack dip sauce, which was said to be very spicy, but it turned out to be... err, NOT SPICY. And we went to check the snack sections and the chocolates on the shelves. Fre totally laughed at me because of the "Winnie the Pooh chocolate boxes". See, the Winnie the Pooh chocolates were put in a cute pink box (not a box, it's a large round-shaped can). I was attracted by the cute can and I was squealing, "Aww! Kawaii!" But then I saw the price and instantly I said, "Urgh. The price is so not kawaii." I don't know why then Freya laughed at me as if I just told her the joke of the century. ^^;;; Hahahaha. She couldn't stop laughing and we were just all giggles from that point onwards. Giggles non-stop. Then we gossiped again until it was time for us to go home. Haaah.
Hey, Fre, Kar-kun, Mic, let's have another gathering by the four of us soon! I'm itching to get laughing again! LOL! ^^

I came home and found my sister waiting for me so we could go to the tailor's place. We were going to have some clothes custom-made and the appointment with the tailor was at five thirty. But I haven't chosen the models for the clothes that I wanted to have and I was so sleepy so while I was opening my copies of ViVi, Ray and Seventeen, I was yawning all the way. I almost canceled the whole trip but we couldn't put it away any longer since Mom was already complaining about seeing the fabrics lying around in an untidy heap in the living room. At the tailor's, it surprisingly took us a very short time to explain how we wanted the clothes to be. The man who handled our orders was quite efficient and thank God for that, I was already so sleepy! I am having two skirts, two dresses, two pairs of jeans and a shirt made, while my sister will have three skirts, two blouses and a jacket. And that's still not all! I seriously think my sister shouldn't have seen the stuff in ViVi. It gives her ideas. She's making three more items in another tailor next week. *sigh*
When we got home, I was ready to take a shower and go to bed early but Disney Channel was showing MULAN and since the hero in it (what's his name?) is one of the most good-looking Disney heroes (other than John Smith ^-^ that babe! :P) and Mulan is one of my fave Disney films, I decided to stay and watch the whole film. It was funny because my sister and I always sighed breathlessly whenever the hero appeared and we were like, "Awww. Isn't he gorgeous" and "Damn. Mulan is so lucky to get him!" It was like we're watching Junno and Jimmy. LOL! And Mushu! OMIGOD! It has got to be one of the funnies creatures in any Disney film! :D

Now I've bathed, eaten dinner, managed to watch the making of Fellowship of the Ring, chatted with H-sis Mel and scanned some pics, I think I'm ready to bed. But I feel like making a layout again... so I might just do that first. Hohoho. ^o^ Oh well.

Okay, okay... saw the Aiba tags on Shoutbox. :P

Tia, Yona, you two are members of the JE Forum right?
The picture is posted in RUMOURS TALK. The Aiba thread is currently at the top of the board. This is the direct link but I'm using proboards7 address. If you usually access from proboards9, 10 or 11, just change the numbers. OK? But I have to warn you Aiba fans to BRACE YOURSELF. It's not exactly beautiful to look at. ^^;; The picture shows Aiba and the girl kissing while they are not wearing anything (dunno topless or naked). And then there's the article. It was a nasty shock for me. ^^;;;
And plus there's this rumor about Nino + girlfriend again, they're saying. ~___~

[Friday, 3 October 2003]

Whoah. Yesterday was my total D-day. As in DOWN DAY. I was sulking all day long. It was a day of high pressure. You know I had to memorize 20 kanji for a damn one-time quiz?! That would've been okay if I didn't have to learn another 50!!!!! In the past, we never studied more than 24 in one meeting, but yesterday, we did 70. Plus, I hadn't been able to sleep for around 70 hours, so you could imagine what a grouch I was. That was my reason for not blogging. All I wanted to do was curse. But today, I feel better.
Thanks to Absolut Vodka CITRON actually. :P LOL. Had a Citron Tonic last night. Shiru and I were talking about drinks at two in the morning. Was good. But I wished there was more stuff to mix at my house. *sigh* I want more Absolut Vodka bottles. >.<

Ohhh, that picture of Aiba and his girlfriend naked... *SHOCKING* I mean, geez, such exhibitionists! ^^;; Now there are rumors that Aiba is going to be kicked out of Arashi because of those pictures. Now that's when the trouble kicks in. I mean, the pics were... blah. I don't care. They want to show off their kinkiness, fine with me. As long as Aiba keeps on performing. But if he gets kicked out of Arashi, I don't know... I can't think about it. Problem is, I can't be in denial that the guy is *NOT* Aiba. He looks AUTHENTICALLY Aiba. @_@ But seriously, if what they're saying is true, about the girl giving their picture to a friend and their friend sold it to a publisher, that's... that's... hmm. Well, let's just put it this way, if you're dating a super idol (Johnny's or non-Johnny's), you have to think twice before giving out your naked pictures to your friends. ^^;; Argh. Now I'm thinking... are Takki and Tsuba exhibitionists? Geez, I sure hope they are. If yes, I am so going to steal their pics and bring them home and put it in a large frame and stare at it all day long. Hohoho. ^o^
Question: if Aiba gets kicked out (god forbid!!! *knock on wood*), will the bring in Yuki Kohara to replace him? :P LOL.
But I sure hope to god (fervently) that Aiba is not going to be in any trouble. >.< And I'm not going to stop supporting Arashi!!! Aiba scandal is Aiba scandal. Arashi is Arashi. So, KEEP ON GOING BOYS!

Now I will talk about films. So, be warned. :P It's going to be a long talk. I just watched the trailers for some films. :P
Return of the King: SUPERB TRAILER. Moved me even from the beginning. Even the trailer represents the dark atmosphere of the story! I could imagine the book in the trailer. Let's see if the film does the same thing. I seriously can't wait for this film! >.< (btw, is it just me or I find the Hobbits looking more handsome in this third film? Or maybe that's just the trailer ^^;;;)
Under the Tuscan Sun: falls into the genre of chick-flick (story probably based on a chick-lit? :P) but with the acting performance of one seriously hot Italian actor named RAOUL BOVA. *drool* In my life, he goes way before Johnny's, yeah. :P I collected his images on the Internet the way now I scan pictures every week. ^^ I have to watch this film. For the sake of the Tuscan sceneries, the Italian language and the sexy highness Raoul Bova. :D
Lost In Translation: the one movie I will go aroound the world to watch!!! >.< Terry, you want to laugh, you watch this film!!! :P Bill Murray meets ... err... TAKASHI FUJII!!! Amazing. I simply have to watch. Even the trail gives me the thrill just watching that Japanese director in the trailer saying to Bill Murray, "Jikan ga naindayo!" Ahh. Please, please, please, please come to Indonesia. >__< And OMG, I couldn't believe when I saw Fujii-san over there. LOL. I think he was posing as Matthew? Or no? I just saw the hair, man. He is hilarious. XD (Why didn't Sophia Coppola invite Fujii-san's friend to the film?! Like, say, Tsubasa Imai. :P)
Love Actually: British romantic comedy... ACCENTS! ACCENTS! It's a Christmas film and it has... ROWAN ATKINSON! LOL. Didn't get to see him much in the trailer and it looks like Hugh Grant is dominating the film. Well. Actually the film is dominated by a bunch of big names. Liam Neeson (is he English? Irish? Scottish?), Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Keira Knightley... Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman!!! Emma and Alan in one film again! ^-^ I love this pair! They act well together.

Oh and ... next year there will be TROY (working title). It includes Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Sean Bean, ORLANDO BLOOM. LOL. My sister was all palpitations when I told him that Bana and Bloom will be in the same film (quite frankly, me too... I mean, Bloom and Bean! That's from the Fellowship! ^-^ err, yeah, LOTR effect). Btw, Troy is about the Trojan war, and Bloom will play Paris, Pitt Achilles, Bana Hector, Bean Odysseus. It means, I might hate Bloom for becoming Paris. ^^;; (Sorry, Bloom, as much as I love your accent. :P)

Do I sound like I work in a movie magazine? ^^;;

Back to a serious talk. Now I really want to move to Sweden. My sister told me something interesting about Sweden in terms of design, and I might just want to learn it there instead. In any case, whether or not I will study in Sweden, I will certainly be learning the language so it's not like I go there to do absolutely nothing. But going to Osaka or Kyoto is really interesting too. I want to learn Kansai-ben. I don't know how I got so interested in the whole Kansai-ben thing, but I really find Kansai-ben fascinating and I want to learn it.
And then there's always Italy.
*sigh* Or maybe I just need to travel. Period. To get away from my prosaic life. @_@
Ahh! Popolo November is such a poison! ^^;; They ask every artist which country they want to go to and the artist give such interesting answers! If I were to follow my idols, then I will go with Kame, Jin and Junno. They all wanna go to Italy. What else could be better?! JUNNO + ITAY = HEAVEN. ^-^

Have Junno been listening to my complaints about the way he dresses?!
He wants to go Italy because Italy is a "fashionable" country. He wants to improve his fashion sense in Italy. He also wants to eat the delicious Italian food.
Junno, do you really realize that the way you dress needs improvement?! ^^ So, who are you trying to impress? Your fans, Kame?? (Ohhh, I have the feeling that Kame has been influencing Junno in terms of fashion! ^_^ Fufufu. Couples' fashion! ^-^)

Ooops, I have to move this talk to Milk White, which I've abandoned for almost a week now. @_@ But I'm still working on the translations.

Waks, I'm babbling here.

[Wednesday, 1 October 2003]

October!!! --> I should be changing my layout but since Mic and Fre can't go online regularly, thus they will miss seeing Naked Prince on my layout, so I decided to change my layout later. Besides, I still like this layout. Argh. What's not to like in KAT-TUN?! ^^

Oh, by the way, seeing that the Zasshi Blog crew now already has 9 members, I'd just like to update everyone with the complete members list.
Wink Up: Ami (me) at this address
Duet: Freya at this address
Potato: Junko at this address
Popolo: Mic at this address
Myojo: Sakura at this address
Junon: Kar-kun at this address
Weekly Oricon: Cece at this address
Arena37C: Feli at this address
Ray: Jenn at this address
Thanks for all of you who joined! ^-^ This could be fun. :) You're not really required to tag each other or anything but I see some people who have started tagging one another... which is REALLY COOL. This is a new way of getting to know more people, ne! Jya, TANOSHINDE NE, MINNA! :)

TSUBALICIOUS, this one is for you...
The man you are seeing on the pictures below is DAIGO STARDUST. :D He's my current J-Rock fave. ^-^ Think GLAM. ^o^ First single called MARIA, new single coming soon in late October or maybe in November. Not too sure. (The 1st picture is a thumbnail. Click on it to get a bigger size picture!) For everyone who likes Daigo, feel free to save this picture! But if you wish to use it in your own website, SAVE IT IN YOUR OWN SERVER, OK? DON'T USE MY SERVER. (Sorry for being so fussy. Me no likey hotlinkers. ^^;;;)

Wahh, this man is very bishounen. ^^ He's even gurlier than Takashi Tsukamoto. LOL! And that's probably why I like him more. ^-^ Fufufu. :P By the way, I really have to work on the Daigo FL. @_@ I'll get that done after I finish translating some Junno articles.
Btw, Tsubalicious, about the film ROCKERS, I think it's coming out later this month!!! This is the website for the film: WEBBIE. It's a bishie-infested film... only that they all dress like glam. :D LOL. But no it doesn't have anything to do with Kizarazu. Just so happens Takashi plays in it too. :P

Oh, and these are for 8282 and Shiru:
Taka + shi + Tsuka + moto
Enjoy! ^-^ (You guys, you have to start buying Popolo, too, I think... to get a regular dose of Tsukamoto. :D) My favorite pics of Takashi from Popolo March 2003. Those were amazing. I think I've scanned them for you in KG... did you by any chance get to see it? Those were the ones that got him licking his finger in a seductive glance to the camera, yawning, holding a cup with a handsome smile on his face, reading a book, playing with his dog and just plain looking at the camera. If you don't remember, I'll scan them for you. OK? ^^

Continuing my "life-is-tough-and-I-want-to-cry" talk from last night... well, I feel better. Reason? I had a great lunch. ;) Fufufu. Before the lunch, I talked to Aki about some things... it's UTTERLY AMAZING how she and I have similar stories in terms of relationships, and I was baffled to know how we can relate to each other. And it totally relieved me that I could talk to her about this. She helped me a lot. THANKS FOR THE GIRL TALK, AKI! ^^ (Where's Mel? Girl, let's get H-talking. Hohoho. ^o^ ---> no, I *never* forget the H. :P) Oh and now that I found my spirit again to work on Junno articles, I feel a whole lot better. Yappari, JUNNO IS THE BEST THERAPY! ^^ (Did I tell you that I had lunch at Starbucks? :P LOL. You know what that means, CARAMEL FRAP!!!) Somehow throwing myself into hard work (of translating an article that contains five dozens of kanji characters and Kansai-ben speech-style all the way to the end) works well to make me forget about my problems. KANJI GA SUKI YANNEN!!! ^______^ (LOL! LOL! XD)

Right, now I'm just gonna be off to take some sample pics of Sakuraba's PB so I can show Dessey how Abang looks like in the book. LOL. I'll show the samples here too later. :D

[Tuesday, 30 September 2003]

I can't believe September is over. But then again, it's about time that it's over. Of all the months that have passed this year, I feel that September was the longest. @_@ Not that I didn't enjoy it but somehow lately I am feeling that it dragged... but that's probably just because I'm bored. :P

Before I forget... 8282, here are the Takashi Tsukamoto pics for you.
1 ++ 2 ++ 3
Not bad actually, yeah... but he looks sexier in other pics. I say you save your money for the photo book you're odering from Kino. (I can't believe it; three of my closest friends have the hots for Takashi Tsukamoto... and I'm more into Suga Takamasa. :P LOL!)

The weirdest thing... I was about to go PI (visit Kino to clear up things about Television Monthly and pick up November ViVi), and then my friend called me and he asked me what I was going to do. I said, "Well, I'm going to PI." And he told me, "No, no... don't come here. I'm here right now and I called you see if I could try to make you go out with me for dinner since my meeting in PI is cancelled because almost all of the restaurants and shops are closed here due to a problem with the electricity." I was like, "Huh?" Well, apparently, there was some kind of a power failure in PI and the shops and restaurants had to close, but funnily enough... they didn't close the whole thing down... instead, they still let people in and there were lights at the lobby, making everyone believe that it's running fine and dandy as usual. Might as well, close the whole place -- what's the point of letting people in when people can't do anything?! @_@ Oh well. Thanks to that warning, my trip is postponed until tomorrow. That is, if the electricity is back on. And just in case anyone was wondering whether I got to dinner with him or not, the answer is no because today I cooked at home and I wanted to eat my own cooking. LOL! ^^;; (Sorry to you).

Geez. I can't hear the BGM. Can anyone hear the BGM? If you can't hear it, please let me know. I don't know what or who went wrong - me, the server or the stupid ISP. I am beginning to think that the ISP needs a good burning. @_@

Actually, I was kind of in denial this afternoon when I talked to Mel. She asked me if I was upset by something... and I said no. Well, I thought I wasn't but now that I think about it, I *am*. (I'm sorry, girl, for making you worried... ^^;; But don't worry! I'll try to sort it out and try to be genki again! ^-^) There are lots of reason for me to be upset. For one thing, I am feeling kinda left out. I won't tell you by who but I definitely feel left out. It's like our friendship never even existed. @___@ I know a person changes and as time goes by we have our own things to do and we can't be together all the time but somehow it kind of nags me that we're not as close as we used to be. It also feels a bit weird that we're kind of "stuck in the middle" of something with each of us leaning on the opposite sides. It feels uncomfortable but I suppose I'd just better shut up about it unless we want to have a big fight all over again. I know I shouldn't be underestimating our friendship and I know I have to be more trusting and understanding but it still doesn't make me feel like we're in each other's lives anymore.
*sigh* The pains of growing up. I wish I didn't have to grow up. I wish I could stay 18 forever. ^^;;

I swear to God, if I listen to Sotsugyo right now, with this kind of feeling, I can bawl and finish my tears in the course of one night! ^^;; LOL! But the song is just too good and I'm in love with their voices, so what can I do?! ^^;; Hehehe. :P

Oh geez, look at me... "wallowing in self-pity". ^^;; I should focus on better things... like, for example, JUNNOSUKE TAGUCHI. Let me post a pic:

Isn't he just adorable?! :D Hehehe. I call these two pics TWO FACES OF JUNNO. There's the sweet doll-like bunny, and there's the sexy surf god-like soon-to-be-18 idol star. :D Hehehe. ^______^ Terry said that his pose on the second pic was very provocative. It's because his pants aren't visible. It gives the impression that he is naked. *nod nod* YESSSSS!!! AGREE 100%!!! It's ultra-sexy! ^______^ To be quite honest (and I can be honest, knowing that this is my blog and I can talk about anything I want), I wanted so badly for him to take off his pants for this photo shoot! LOL! I want all six KAT-TUN to take off their pants. Wear tiny towels, like they did in the onsen pic. Or cover their, ah, "bits" with coconut leaves. WHATEVER! I'd buy TEN copies (Sakuraba PB or no :P) of the magazine if they did. ^-^ Hehehe. But actually I can't quite decide which one is more droolworthy - the sexy one or the sweet one. I like him with his rosy cheeks and pink lips... ^-^ He looks like a DOLL! How sweet!!! I dunno if it's just me who likes pretty boys in general... but seriously, how can I resist that kind of face?! ^__^ Seriously, if he comes up to me, smiling like that, looking just as adorable as he is in that pic, and asked me if he could destroy my computer, I'd probably say yes. ^^;; (Isn't this obsession scary or what?!) Ahhh, I just adore him. Does he know that there's a fan of his in Indonesia who worships him night and day, and day and night?! ^^;; If only he knew... (I bet he'd faint and try to avoid me 'cause he's scared that I might come at him and try to abduct him or rape him or something... LOL!)

Apparently, I've just talked H again about Junno. Why is it these days it's easier for me to talk H about Junno and KAT-TUN? Before, it was a lot easier for me to talk H about TxT. The reason was that I always think of KAT-TUN as someone younger (read: younger brothers; they are not H, but *sweet*). Instead TxT were *the* ero-ero babes. Now it's kinda like the reverse. Or maybe it's just because these days, talking about TxT makes me go all sentimental and emotional and I keep being on the verge of tears if I think about when they will come out with a new music material, and how they both don't appear together in pictures anymore, and thinking about the MarySues and the people who just can't shut up about some things without knowing the real story. Well, I am being harsh here, but yeah that's how I feel. Thank goodness there's a group of people at the Tsubanamae Blog Crew with whom I can talk to about these things and who share similar feelings about TxT. Without them, I think I'd go mad already. LOL. So, thankies, you guys!

I need some astrology therapy right now. I think I might find the answer to some of my troubles with it. XD Hahaha... I miss Blurry Sotong #2. We talked a lot about astrology and life together... I need this kind of remedy right now. *huggies for Aki and all the Blurry Sotongs*
Having said all that, my energy is drained and I am ready to go to bed. Or perhaps a dose of English accent first. I need to watch Reign of Fire, Down with Love or The Two Towers or something. :P (That's a choice between Christian, Ewan and Orlando. Hehehe.) Or maybe I'll just go cry for real. It always helps. ^-^ Fufufufu. :D

[Monday, 29 September 2003]

This afternoon, my Japanese got canceled. @_@ I had been on the phone with Mic for a while, gossiping about some stuff (more like, me being frantic about something that involved Junno... @_@ Let's not get into that or I can burst into tears again. ~_~) and just cursing Indosat for its bad connection. Then when it was time to leave, I realized my car wasn't home so I called to Language Corner and told them I was going to be late. But they told me that there was a heavy traffic jam and even the teacher was going to be late, so rather than just taking up the class for one hour, they suggested that we take a rain check until Wednesday. So instead of having the Wednesday off, I got this afternoon off. Oh well. But at least I did my kanji revision already so tomorrow I won't be dead meat in class. :P
Since I got this afternoon off, I went immediately to PS to pick up my magazines... and there, I found the most wonderful thing for Dessey (girl, check your email!! ^-^) Hehehe. :P Anyway, I didn't take my Myojo because of the wonderful thing, and instead went for the Popolo (*kiss kiss Tsubasa*)

I'm actually quite tired now and I long to go to bed, but I haven't finished scanning some pics. T___T Or should I postpone the scans until tomorrow morning? Like, wake up early and scan in the morning while everyone is getting ready to go to the office/school? That's a thought. In any case, I have to wake up early tomorrow morning because tomorrow's class is at 11 and I need to revise one more time before I leave, just to be very sure I won't mess with the quiz. Hmmmm.

It feels weird. Blogging frequently. :P LOL. I have nothing to talk about anyway. Ohhh... HANG ON! I forgot to say... TxT's "SOTSUGYO ~One Version~" IS EXCELLENT! Ahhhh, it's such a beautiful version of the song. The voice is more beautiful... the melody is more beautiful. Tsubasnare was "killed" by Tsubasa's voice. Hahaha. I was paying more attention to the whole ensemble, especially the strings. It goes well with TxT's voices. And... oh my! The song and the scene (whatever it was) fit perfectly; what more with the solemn speeches from the part of the characters in the anime. It blended well with the sound of the song. ^-^ Excellent!!! Now we all have to buy the Inuyasha soundtrack CD to enjoy this song!

Speaking of TxT and Inuyasha (read: AVEX), I was looking at the reports of the A-NATION concert. I wish I could have gone. Day After Tomorrow, Dream, Exile, Koda Kumi, BoA, Do as Infinity, Every Little Thing, TRF and Ayumi. I couldn't help but wish, "TxT SHOULD BE THERE TOO!!!" I know they're *JOHNNY'S* but they're a part of Avex too and it would've been fun if they could share the stage with all these famous artists and groups too. It certainly would've attracted more audience. *sigh* Then again, TxT deserves one concert especially for them where they shine on their own... so when is their "wedding anniversary" concert going to be held? (Like, they better do something fast before I die. T_______T Miss them too much already.)

*yawn again* I am so sleepy. I think scanning would have to wait until tomorrow morning. Sorry, Popolo. Wait for your turn tomorrow.

[Monday, 29 September 2003]

Tsukareta... >.<;;; I spent the whole morning scanning KAT-TUN pics from Myojo November. It took me, what, four hours to complete everything... there are just too many pics in that issue, and I wanted to keep everything at good quality so I scanned whole pages and then enhanced the pics and everything. @__@ Hard work, man. If anyone steals this from me, I'm gonna blow something up. Urgh. (Well, I just discovered that lots of people are hot-linking pics from Milk White. Bleh.) Anyway. Otsukaresama. Will upload the pics and show it to fellow KAT-TUN fans later.

Last night, I spent some time making layouts... and guess what, I CAME UP WITH FIVE LAYOUTS! ^-^ Hehehehe. All the layouts are of the same theme. It's called MESSAGES. Except for the one featuring Kento Handa I am going to use all of 'em. It's yet again a Jyaanis layout, but perhaps it's OK. ^^;; I just find the messages in the layouts are better to write if I use Jyaanis guys. LOL. Since I have so many of 'em, I'm going to have to change layouts every two days. ^^;; Or everyday? Let's make it three days, or I'll go crazy with the HTML. ^^;; What more, Mic said that my layout is finished! ^______^ Can't wait to see! THANK YOU, MIC! *kisses* Next time, it's your turn to ask me for a layout. (That is, if I can make it... yours is so much better than mine! ^^;;)

I wonder if I ever mentioned that for my "real" birthday dinner, my parents took me and my sis to this French restaurant near my house, Bokabuka. It's a small restaurant (just around 12 tables in the whole place) and it's located in a narrow house-like building so there is a possibility that you will get bumped off by the person sitting behind you if you move your chairs at the same time. ^^;; Oh, the parking lot is considerably SMALL, so don't wonder if you get called to move your car so that another car can exit the parking in the middle of your dinner. :P But the food is FANTASTIC. I wanted to eat everything on the menu since they all sound so delicious (except for the snails... *shudder*). The food is gourmet-style but it's not exactly a fine-dining restaurant because the atmosphere is very relaxed. The interior is very "hip" but it surprisingly goes well with the classical music that is played on the stereo. When the weather is nice, we can also choose a table that is in the gardens. The service is also good. I want to go back there again. Actually, I want to go back there with my mother. She's eaten there for a lot of times that the waiters know her already and she knows the menu by heart. It's a nice place for a date, too, so maybe... I could bring Junno there. Or better yet, I'll take Ueda there! Ueda seems to be interested in many French thingies, so I'll drag him there to have dinner with me. Huahahaha.

I wanna go out and watch a movie but there's nothing good to watch. @_@ I was planning to hang out at Starbucks today but I got stuck scanning the pics so I did my kanji revision in front of the computer while listening to lots and lots of mp3s. Booooorrrriiiing.
Ohh... Terry reckons that using the word REVISION sounds "British". REALLY?! ^^;; (Miyuki, what do you think?) I wouldn't know. Then she went on to ask me, "Influence of Harry Potter or Stuart Townsend?" ^^;; More like EWAN MCGREGOR. Blame it on Catcher Block. ^^;; LOL. Adore the accent. Aren't guys with accents adorable? ^-^ Hehehe.
Anyway, I have Japanese lesson this afternoon. Should I go zz first before I leave? I think I will. I'll blog again tonight after I finish scanning Popolo pics. *yawn* Junno, Kame, let's go to bed. ^-^ Hehe.

[Sunday, 28 September 2003]

More changes in this J'ADORE KAT-TUN layout. Now there are THREE pop-up windows, the first one is about Tomatoe Diary & KAT-TUN, the second one contains all the links to the other blogs and fanlistings, and the third one is for all of the blog crews Tomatoe Diary is a part of. I figured it's neater this way.
Speaking of blog crews, if any of you are still interested to join the ZASSHI BLOG CREW, click here. The links are up in the third pop-up too, so you can check it out there, to find out who is representing which magazine. Those who are already included in the blog crew, please don't forget to create links! ^-^ Thankies... :) (Btw, I made a WU banner for myself. LOL!)

Now, talk about magazines... I picked up my Popolo and Myojo yesterday. I bought two issues of Myojo, as planned, since the pictures are so HOT. :D Hehe. I've only flipped through them but as far as I can tell, I cannot take my eyes off KAT-TUN and Tsuba. Tsuba is extremely good-looking in Popolo, especially on the first-page-of-article picture. What nice lips! ^-^ And I can't get enough of his smile on the second page pic. His face looks very friendly! On the contrary, Takki looks all serious and somewhat angry in his Popolo pics. Dunno why. ^^;; Probably because Popolo told him yet again that he wasn't going to shoot the pics with Tsuba for this month's issue. LOL! :P Well, anyway. KAT-TUN is CHO-SEKUSHI! ^___^ Myojo is still unfair as ever but I forgive them this time. As long as they keep showing the boys' bodies. Ehehehe. So did they really shoot the pics in Guam?? =O In one of the offshots, there's a pic of Junno and Kame in a shop together. I was shouting, "COUPLES SHOPPING DAY!!!" Hee hee. :D Ahhh, but KAT-TUN look like they're enjoying themselves. They look like they're having loads of fun. I love seeing them here. ^-^

I ENVY THEM!
I want to go on holiday too. To a beach somewhere. How about Nice, France? Or Sardinia, Italy? ^___^

Ohh, I saw the Tsukiyo Monogatari (Kouchan in SHOCK) and... WELL, WELL, WELL... now I know why KAT-TUN loves to hip-roll recently. Apparently they've been taking their cues from Papa Kouchan. Huehehe. Kouchan was hip-rolling almost all the way in that performance. LOL! No wonder Mic choked on her cola so many times when she saw that!!! I knocked over so many objects from the table down to the floor in my attempt to grab the monitor and practically embraced the monitor as I wanted to touch Kouchan's hips so badly. Hahaha. Thank goodness it wasn't Junno, Jin or Kouki ... or Tsuba!!! ... who was hip-rolling like that in the performance (though I wouldn't mind seeing any of them do it alongside Kouchan! ^-^) or else I would've collapsed into a coma! ^^;;; In any case, mystery solved! Yappari, Kouchan wa KAT-TUN no papa desu. There's no one else.
A word on SHOCK: I wish they won't break up the SHOCK team!!! >.< Why can't it be like before, with Kouchan, Tsuba, and KAT-TUN performing together?! It's such a great formula already!

Ahhh! I remembered I haven't talked about one thing. It's about TxT. ^-^ Ever since Mic told me, I was already like, "Kyaaaaa! You two are meant to be together, TxT!" Hehehe. :D Apparently in the making of the Boku Dake no Madonna CM (or was it in the drama filming), Takki looked totally uncomfortable with having to act mushy and lovey dovey with Hasekyo. It was kind of weird thinking how Takki must have felt that time, having to do all that with Hasekyo while he wasn't exactly enjoying it. Uwaaa... he's such a good actor. He was so convincing in the CM, even making some of us fiercely irritated by the fact that he wasn't doing it with Tsuba. I want to see the making. Ahhhh, Takki, all you have to do is go to Tsuba and get some loving from him! (That is, after you kill a bug for him. XD LOL!) Aren't they the sweetest? ^o^

Dessey, you lucky dawg! You finally saw John Mayer! I keep coming back to her blog to read about the concert report! ^-^ Fufufu. Her account of the concert is complete, also including pictures and stuff! Me wanna go too. >.< But for now I'm quite content with Dessey's report. Thanks girl for writing that up! =) Next I have to check with Cecil if she's really going to concert too!
But I have to quit dreaming for now. Gotta get to work. Study. Study. Study. I've got so many kanji homework, and I have to revise for tomorrow's lesson. @_@ All of a sudden, life has become busy again. And thank God for that.
