Sick, Sick, Sick, BUT HAPPY!

I really am masochistic. I'm down with cold and on my way to acquiring a brand new fever, but I'm still up to finish and upload the TV GUIDE scans just because I want to pimp my JUNNO BUNNY! @___@

Btw, craa, so sorry I can't chat tonight but this headache is beyond painful. @_@

Except for JUNNO. XD

Note:
No hotlinking/stealing any of these scans. HOTLINK AND DIE!!! In any case, I'm going to take the pictures off my server in two weeks' time... so if you *must* take these scans, upload them to your own servers.

I already ordered the rest of the series. Hopefully I can get them soon. I don't care how long it takes or how much it'll cost me. I just want to get all of the versions. YAY FOR KAT-TUN!

Broke, Broke, Broke, BUT HAPPY!

I collected all of my magazines today:
- Wink Up 03/2005 (cover: Kanjani 8)
- Potato 03/2005 (cover: Hideaki Takizawa)
- Duet 03/2005 (cover: Kazuya Kamenashi & Jin Akanishi)
- TV Weekly 02/12/2005 (cover: three people incl. Kazunari Ninomiya)
- Kindai 02/2005 (cover: Aya Ueto)
- ViVi 02/2005 (cover: Mayumi)
- Junon 02/2005 (cover: various idols)
- Myojo 02/2005 (cover: Kinki Kids)

I'm going to scan all the Junno I can find and post it in this blog so everyone can see just how gorgeous Junnosuke Taguchi is. Even if in the end no one else but me thinks that Junno is gorgeous, then... at least don't say I didn't try to spread the Junno love! ^_^

Speaking of, apparently this week's cover of TV GUIDE is KAT-TUN and there are five or six versions of the cover, depending on which region. (Japanese marketing people = TOTEMO CRUELISSIMO!!! >_<) Kino JKT only carries one version, and I'm going to get it. I'm going to get all copies of the TV GUIDE that is available. Then I'm going to back-order every single thing from all the other versions. I don't care if Processing Dept. kills me for it, I just have to get all of them. It's KAT-TUN, man... KAT-TUN! ^_____^ And that's my KAT-TUN loving... BUY, BUY, BUY!!! (Can I buy Junno, by the way? I really want a pet Junno. :3)

I have a picture of Junno in my wallet. They say that if you put a picture of someone you love in your wallet you will keep spending money. I don't know who said that or whether it's a popular belief or not but, boy, it sure does apply to me! XD I keep spending money every since there's Junno inside my Billabong wallet. I'm not going to take it out, though. Actually, it's fun to have him inside my wallet because then when everyone else sees it, they'd go like, "Oh, is that your boyfriend?" And I can always say, "YES! YES! YES!" XD (I wish...)

It's funny, huh? Now that I've put Junno.com on hiatus, my lust/love for him just intensifies even more! XD Should I re-open it now? Hahahahahahahaa... IN YOUR DREAMS!

InsomANIAC

I joined a bunch of fanlistings yet again.
Found a TAKUI fanlisting. <3
I was thinking of making one if it doesn't exist but as it turned out it does exist. Saves me the trouble. I joined right away.

Tell me why I'm still not asleep yet. I am not even doing anything. I should be in bed. But if I go to bed, I won't ever wake up. The dilemma...

Junnosuke Taguchi is ~~LOVE~~ LUST!

[MILK WHITE] ♥ Junnosuke Taguchi is officially on hiatus!

But I will continue my Junno worshipping.

Today particularly I can't resist him and his handsomeness so I am going to pimp him to the whole world! *super evil laugh* I present the scans from WINK UP 02/2005 in which Junno looks particularly hot. In honor of my obsession for the JinNo pairing, I have also included scans of Jin! Plus, I sorta joined up Junno and Jin as if their pictures were made on the same page (ah, the wonders of Photoshop!) Well, CLICK AWAY! ^_^

I love Junno so much. I wish I could really have my way with him... in bed. You know? *evil laugh again*

Speaking of this hot boy, I've just remembered that I had wanted to write about my recent dreams about him.

The first dream occurred a few days ago. This was a really heartbreaking dream. It all started with a scene in my office where my colleagues and I were discussing where we all should go to for our company outing. Finally it was decided that we should go to the beach. The next thing I know, we were already in this beach somewhere and we stayed in this beach house, which turned out to be MINE. I didn't really like the beach so I opted to stay at the house while my colleagues went swimming and surfing. All of a sudden, I found this really interesting magazine on the sofa and I reached for it. When I opened the magazine, all of a sudden I was in a bed, on the terrace of the beach house (and don't ask me what a bed is doing on a terrace), and I was arguing with someone over who should read the magazine first. I insisted that I had the right to read it first because I found it but the other person insisted that he had the right to read it first because the magazine was his! After a few nasty words thrown at each other, this guy pushed me down on the bed and pinned me to it and said, "Tough. You're going to have to do everything I tell you because you're mine." (Eeep, what a chauvinist! XD) It was then that I realized who this guy is... it's Hayato Ichihara (yes, the actor). Anyway, just as Hayato Ichihara was on top of me in the bed, suddenly Junno came in and saw us and he had this really, really devastated look on his face! We both turned to him and stared at him curiously... afterwards, he turned around and left without saying a word. Then Hayato said to me, "I hope you don't have feelings for him anymore because now you're mine." And I (STUPIDLY) nodded at that and kissed Hayato! *faint* We ended up reading the magazine together.

*CRY* OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! HOW CAN I BE SO STUPID?! (Yes, I know it's only a dream... but still...) HOW COULD I EVER CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE OVER JUNNO?! IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE!!! NOT EVEN DAIGO STARDUST COULD BEAT MY LOVE/LUST FOR JUNNO! Yes, Daigo is HOT. He is *the* coolest J-rocker I've ever had feelings for. But nobody beats Junno. Junno is my one and only. So the fact that I dreamed about getting hooked up with HAYATO ICHIHARA is just completely absurd and stupid. I don't even like the guy that much! Man, give me back my Junno!

Thankfully, I was given a much better dream yesterday night. It's all roses either but it's definitely better than that goddamned dream.
Basically, in this next one, Junno and I are kouhai-senpai in college. Junno likes me but I like our professor (again, very stupid). Unfortunately for me (in the dream), our professor is in love with another guy (apparently he's gay). I was sort of heartbroken in the beginning but since I thought the professor deserved happiness, I played matchmaker for him and the guy. The two of them finally got together and got married. Junno and I were both invited to their wedding. However, when we got there, we somehow ended up being the ones who got married! (YAAAAY! ^____^) Soon afterwards Junno and I moved in together while we still continued our education. Initially I somehow wasn't happy at the idea of marrying him so quickly but I eventually got used to of it and was even enjoying our life together as a couple. I became so into him that it made me feel lonely whenever he had to leave me to go to university. Because of this I decided to change my major to his so I could spend more time with him. The funny thing was that his major was something scientific (like chemistry and the likes) and so naturally I flunked all of my classes because I'm just plain dumb at those subjects but it didn't matter because I got to be with him all the time. XD

This second dream is definitely better! Although I dislike a few things about it, such as the fact that I still liked another guy instead of Junno even though only for a short while and the fact that I flunked classes in uni, this dream makes more sense than the first. Any dream where I end up marrying Junno is definitely good! ^_^ (I wish that could happen for real... *evil laugh*)

Wow, what a long Junno babble. This sort of thing usually goes in the POV section of my Junno website (OMG, I have a Junno website! XD). But from now on, I'll do my babbling over here. It's good to Junnofy my life.

Buzy

I had a major headache since the morning that lasted through to the afternoon. In fact, this morning I almost couldn't get up because I felt like throwing up all the time and it didn't go until after lunchtime. I initially thought it was a physical sickness but after thinking about it, it could be psychological. I have worked too much and I can't stand spending one more day at work. So I'm glad that tomorrow and the day after are public holidays. I will rest, sleep and think of nothing serious.

Anyway...

It's becoming a habit of mine to be attracted to music groups that are unpopular that previously sang in an anime soundtrack. The last time I felt such a strong attraction was to Pipo Angels. This time it's Buzy (official site).

Yep, they sang Twin Spica's opening song, {VENUS SAY} (lyrics written by Haruichi [Shindo] of Porno Graffiti fame). The song rocks big time and I have been looking all over for it because I need to listen to it NOT on the TV. I found it here (thank you to whoever you are who uploaded this song). Later on I found the full version of it Malicious Misery, an MP3 rotation site, whose owner granted my request for the MP3! ^_^ Oh, but this "longer version" is actually called {KUJIRA}, which is Buzy's debut single. It's the same music but with different lyrics and, of course, longer. After hearing these two versions, I decided to buy both the Twin Spice anime soundtrack and Buzy's single. Just because I love the song so much. Love, as TOTALLY CRAZY ABOUT IT!

Buzy's discography:
1. Released 03/03/2004: {KUJIRA}
2. Released 07/07/2004: {HITORI ICHIZU}
3. Released 26/01/2005: {BE SOMEWHERE}

Apparently Haruichi is involved in the creation of all of these singles. In fact, Porno Graffiti's producer Akimitsu Honma (a.k.a. ak.homma) also composed and arranged Buzy's songs. With that kind of back-up, I have absolutely no doubt that I'm going to like Buzy's music immensely. (Obviously, this is me, the Porno Graffiti fan, speaking. XD)

As for their members, I really don't know much about them. From the information I can gather from the Web, they're Kansai-based (most are from Osaka, and one is from Kobe and another is from Kyoto). The members' names are Nao Touyama (21), Mao Miyazato (21), Mayumi Niwa (20), Sachiko Iwanaga (18), Yumi Takeda (18) and Yurisa Asama (20). I don't know who the lead singer is --too bad because I particularly adore her strong vocals-- but I am suspecting it's Nao Touyama because Nao has previously released a solo single before the group debuted. I could be wrong, though. In terms of looks, they absolutely don't look anything like typical Japanese female singers. Not dainty, not demure... Definitely not Momusu-ish. @_@ But they're not that hot either. Sexy... hmm... dunno... not really. In any case, I'm just into their music so who cares how they look like?

I really can't wait to get their CDs! In my next CD Japan order, I'll definitely include them! ^_^

Hayami Kishimoto's Songs

Just downloaded some songs from Ojochan's Yahoo Groups and this time Hayami Kishimoto is included in the selection. Downloaded four more songs from the album {JUICY}, which I've been thinking to buy because "YUME REAL" just rocks big time. I've also heard "Dessert Days" and "Mienai Story", both of which I quite like. The latter is particularly enjoyable because it's a Tantei Gakuen Q song. (This anime is really super. I end up liking all the artists who contribute to the opening and ending songs.)

Anyway, on with the review...

NON FICTION GAME. Hmmm. The intro is... ugly. And also the arrangement is all over the place. I admit that the chorus sounds catchy but only after a while. What is wrong with this song? I don't know if I should hate it or like it.

CLEAR DAYS. Oh my God, Hayami, DON'T YOU EVER SING BALLADS ANYMORE! ^^;;; Her voice is not suited to ballads. She should sing more catchy pop songs and stick to that. This is the first ballad I've ever heard from Hayami and my opinion is tainted forever. Me no likey this song.

FOR... YOU. FROM... ME Holy, this song is written in exactly that way, with the dots and everything. But anyway, THIS IS A BRILLIANT SONG! This is what I'm talking about!!! I looove it. Pop song! Cute song! Catchy song! Sweet song! *huggles* I'm a Hayami fangirl! XD

KAZE NI MUKAI ARUKU YOUNI (883 TRAPPED REMIX). The original version is the last ending theme song of Tantei Gakuen Q anime series. I like the original a lot and for me this remixed version is too... techno. @_@ Such a good song... ruined. But it's not as bad as a Hayami ballad, methinks.

FINAL DECISION: BUY. I'm going to buy Hayami Kishimoto's album. Argh, it's too late to back away now. =____=

No More Stress?

Refreshing weekend! ^_^

This morning there was Daa! Daa! Daa! re-run on Animax and since I missed watching it, I woke up early to record it. I watched with my sister and we both squealed together at the cuteness. Then I went back to sleep (from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.! Talk about still being sleepy!) By the time I woke up again, my sister and mom had gone to do their outing (wherever it was) and I quickly took a shower and got ready to go to PI and PS, as usual. Today I decided to use my ZOOMP top and beanie... and I put on my smoky eye make-up. I look like one of those girls in KERA when I'm finished. Mwahahahaha...

From PI, I got: Kamen Rider Ryuki HYBRID book (??), and TSUBASA RESERVOIR CHRONICLES hardcover volumes 7 and 8. I used the 20% staff discount, of course. I asked Dhani, the JM staff, whether there was any Chara, or Chara Selection, left that had not been picked up by the customers who ordered them, and he said no. But there was Asuka Ciel left. I gasped and quickly begged him to get it for me! So he did. And yes, I got it! ^___^ *huggles* Thank you, Dhani... :)

From PS, I picked up Vivi, Arena 37 and Kera. Then when I was browsing around, I saw... TSUBASA RESERVOIR CHRONICLES paperback, Vol. 2!!! It was the one I had been looking for all along! First, I ordered in Kino PS... they said there was no stock in Japan supplier. Then I asked Mom to buy it for me in Kino SIMS and KLCC... no such luck either. And today, I finally bought it!!! Gosh, it took me five months to hunt it down. Gee I wonder why. Anyway, the most important thing is to finally get it. :) I am sooo happy that my collection is almost complete. <3

I miss reading {GOHOU DRUG} so that's my bedtime story tonight.

Starbucks

It never ceases to amaze and amuse me how close I am to Starbucks. XD See, this is how close we are. Before I worked in Kino PS, I always had to go to Starbucks in PS 1st floor and order straight from the counter. When Kino opened on the 5th floor, Starbucks opened right in front of us. And since then, I order the drinks by calling them from the phone extension. "Hello, Starbucks? This is Amy in Kino's office. Can I have mocha valencia? I'll come and pick it up in a few minutes and pay with credit card." Sometimes we have them bring the coffee in and pay with cash from inside our office. Every time I go there, the baristas always say, "Hi, Amy! What are we having today? I can give you discount today. Just use my staff discount." Who would've thought I would end up this way. XD Of course, there are some disadvantages to having Starbucks in front of Kino. Like, a lot of customers think that Starbucks is inside Kino's area. It's NOT. Once you step out of the door, you're no longer inside Kino. Even if Starbucks is only 5 meters away from our door, we still do not allow you to bring our books outside without paying for them first. Unfortunately, this is what a lot of customers still don't understand. And FYI, in Singapore, you are NOT allowed to bring unpaid items into Coffee Club either. So don't give me all that shit about how in Singapore they allow you to do everything. @_@ Heh. Anyway, that's not the point of this entry. :P

Speaking of which, mocha valencia owns me. <3 I also like mocha with hazelnut syrup but the raspberry one takes some time to get used to (and up until now, I'm still not used to of it.) They told me there's also a strawberry syrup but I haven't tried it yet. I waited for ages for them to be provide us with all these syrups. Blah. Why didn't they just do it since the beginning? Gah, I feel like having a cuppa now. <3

Tsubasa Chronicles, Le Bloomie, & This Damn Blog

Kar-kun gave me this list of {TSUBASA CHRONICLES} anime (thanks, Kar-kun):
Sakura: Makino Yui
Syaoran: Irino Miyu
Kurogane: Inada Tetsu
Fai: Namikawa Daisuke
Mokona: Kikuchi Mika
I have no idea who these people are. I only vaguely remember one of the roles that Syaoran's seiyuu played. In any case, I'm even more nervou because my dream for having the original seiyuu (seiyuu from the existing CCS/MKR series) is shattered. Now I have to live with another voice for Sakura and Syaoran. Oh noooooo... T_T Well, let's see how it goes. I hope the anime turns out all right. :\

Orlando Bloom broke up with Kate Bosworth. I don't know why I'm happy. Not that I ever hated the couple. I don't even fancy him. XD But at least now he can go out with Viggo for real. Hahahahaha... yappari, I'm still no cured of my LoTR yaoi slash fantasies. I imagine, though, that many Bloomie fangirls will be raving about this. :3 Like my sister. Gee, it's a good thing that I'm not in any Bloomie fandom 'cause if I hear those fangirls rave about this, I'm going to be sick. @_@

It's depressing to know that a lot of the blogs I linked are not really active anymore. Should I start cleaning my blog links? I don't know if people still link me. Frankly, right now, I don't really care. I've decided not to care about anything anymore. I mean, it's not that I don't appreciate people linking me but I just don't think it's an important part of blogging anymore. I just want to write what comes into mind and that's that. Like right now. In any case, I'll decide whether to keep some of the links or not. Oh and, it looks like nobody cares for blog crews anymore so I'll probably start deleting some of those blog crews. Mind you, it's not that I don't appreciate them but it's by now static and has no use whatsoever already. (Another reason why I want to get rid of it: seriously, fandom scares me. I feel like being a recluse now. XD) Ok, well, not entirely. I think I still want to write about fan stuff in this blog but it definitely won't be a big part of this blog anymore.

Oh God, why the hell am I talking about all this right now?! (laugh) Oh whatever. :P

Okonomiyaki Night

Yesterday I went out to dinner with my friends Fi-chan and Shez Darling. We went to the Japanese restaurant Sakana again to have okonomiyaki. I ate a lot, but that's only because I didn't eat anything since the morning. Some funny moments, as usual... I was somewhat drunk-ish by the time we finished dinner. Oh and before we went to Sakana, Shez had come to PS and we both bought Chara Selection, which we have been looking forward to since ages ago. EONS ago, as my cara would say. Hahaha. ;D Then Shez slept over at my place (again!) and we had more laughs. It was really nice to be around people, because not I'd have probably hurt myself by either overworking or... well, let's not get into that. :P Anyway, we slept at 1.30 in the morning (eeep!)... come to think of it, it was kind of weird because it wasn't the weekend. I'm just not used to of having someone sleep over when it's not the weekend. :P

This is short but I should go back to work. I'll write again later. There's something important I need to 'analyze'. (laugh)

New Layout. Happy Birthday, Terry

To my darling Terry:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARISSIMA!

Have a great time today, especially at dinner. Oh, and I'm looking forward to your Stephen Colbert layout. Hope you like AMERICA: THE BOOK. How old are you again? 21? Ohhhh, the magic number. Being 21 is FUUUN. You have a wonderful year, you. <3 *hugs and kisses*

On that note, happy birthday too, to FARAH, who's my ex-high school classmaet, who's now in the Philippines, who shares Terry's birthday. (What coinqidink.)

New layout featuring Kazayaha Kudou and Rikuou Himura from one of my favorite CLAMP series, {GOHOU DRUG}. Shez-darling helped me make this layout. We had such a great time making it. She actually didn't agree with me on my choice of Kazahaya+Rikuou image. She wanted another picture up there but I had my way and went on with my plan to feature this lovely illustration up there. Green, because it's the color that goes BEST with {GOHOU DRUG}, and it's my one of my favorite colors. And, CLAMP-sama, if you're reading this, PLEASE, I BEG YOU, CONTINUE THIS SERIES! >.<

Now I will leave and go to bed because tomorrow is yet another grueling day at work. Buona notte a tutto il mondo.
