FOOD REVIEW (lol whut?! XD)
I am munching on Jollibee's Mushroom & Bacon Hotdog Sandwich. Yummy, but not as yummy as the Chili con Carne hotdog (also from Jollibee0 that I ate for lunch yesterday. I wasn't very fond of Chili con Carne before thus never ordered anything with it be it fries or nachos. Everything changed, or at least Jollibee changed my finicky tastebuds when I devoured (yes, devoured, I'm like a monster haha) the Chili con Carne hotdog sandwich. There's so much flavor when you bite into it, and both the melted cheese and the CcC (too long, had to abbreviate it) complemented the mild taste of the hotdog. I don't know why the M&B version isn't that too special, maybe because I didn't taste the bacon. Oh, and about the bacon... they cut it into little bits so when I bit onto the sandwich, some of th bacon bits fell into the table. I like it when the food stalls in malls just wrap the bacon around the dog, it' less messy. ;D

ok, I'm off! Gotta meet with my sister then we'll head to the best local concert of the year.. yay! :D

Because i'll be missing out on all the fun that is 24-hour TV. I won't be anywhere near a computer or internet connection tomorrow afternoon until night so I made this. Yay!
I used to hate you when I first became an Arashi fan but now I love you because of the way you take care of all the Arashi members and because you sounded like a duck when you sang the blind A-RA-SHI on AnS. You are one sweet Hime ♥
Happy Birthday Matsujun! May you be blessed with more doramas, hit singles and member-ai.
P.S. Please refrain from high-five-ing with my Sho-chan if you're wearing your HUGE ring. He's muscled and all but he's really a wimp you know! XD

Finally finished downloading Tekkon Kinkreet and Paprika.. wooh~ I wanna watch now! I can't watch it last night coz my sister's using the compy for her homework and she's also preparing for the impromptu speech tomorrow. She's a little cranky coz she has no choice that her professor chose her as her class' representative. She'll have to overcome her stage fright. I know she can do it *proud sister :D*
Anyway, I checked TK, the quality is so good! Played it with subs and found out the subs are in french.
Je ne comprends pas français!
So I shoved my sister away and googled for english subtitles. Found one. Yay! Maybe I can watch it tonight with my sister if she's in good mood. 8D

The internet died for an hour. Got tired of tap-tapping the keyboard, refreshing and fiddling with my drink's straw so I opened Photoshop to keep myself busy. I made this blue thing.

I think my dad's interested in Maou. While watching ep 8:
[dad] "Is that Taro?", "Where's Taro?"
[me] "He's not in there, he only appeared in the first episode. "
[dad] "Ahh.. ok. Is he that blonde guy? The one who's a good singer in Arashi?"
[me] "Yep, it's him, Leader :D"
So ok, maybe he's only interested in seeing Nino/Taro XD.
--------------------
Maou episode 8. Oh gosh. Oh no. Poor girl. (I want an umbrella like that!!)
Run Naoto, Run! :O
I've read the first two chapters of Ryusei no Kizuna and I can say that it'll be a great drama. I wanna see the yellow people together so I'm posting this picture again (something I made last month).. Too lazy to search for other pictures that I can edit in photoshop.
-----------
Just something that caught my attention when I rode the bus a few months ago-- two girls using an umbrella to shield themselves from the sun... inside an airconditioned bus! Had to take a picture or my sisters will never believe me.. hehe!

My back hurts... I need a massage!!

Wasn't able to watch News Zero and AnS coz I was having coffee and pastries with my dad and younger sis. I opened keyhole and saw Sho-my-love *wheee~* and decided to make caps.


He interviewed Takashi Murakami, the designer of this year's 24-TV t-shirt. I liked Murakami in 2005 or 2006 way before I became an Arashi fan when I saw pictures of his exhibits of huge colorful sculptures and his collaboration with Louis Vuitton. During the interview, they showed the process of silkscreening the shirts. Cutest chipmunk! Oh Sho-kun~ I'm so proud of you.


I like this lady... she's so funny! And.. and.. Bae Yong Joon?!


Nakama Yukie (left). The two comedians (right)


The wonderful boys ♥ (is that Nakai?)
commercials!! haha 8D


Cute talking cats in Aya Ueto's Softbank CM and Kokubun Taichi's commercial. I like Taichi, he has a hearty laugh with the audible "HaHaHa" sound. Just like Sho-kun. My biggest wish is for Sho to be the premium guest in Shounen Club Premium. Maybe he'd talk about the love in Arashi and *cough* underwears. I would love to hear the two of them laugh <3>

I am suddenly reminded on why I should hate people.
People can't handle the truth. They are not loyal and they won't trust you.
That's why i have cats for pets... at least they show some gratitude and they make me feel like i'm the most wonderful person in 'their' world.
-------
I'll grab the opportunity. I have the weekend to fix some stuff. Good luck to me.

edit:
4:00PM (Saturday)
I am renting a PC here at the mall. The connection's kinda slowwwwww but there's nothing I can do about it. Just to pass time.
Why am I here when I can use the compy at home? Well, because I got home but discovered no one's inside the house... just the cats, turtles and dogs. My loud knocking woke up the animals. Gosh, I'm so lucky, I don't even have a duplicate of the house keys!!! [>.<]!!!!!
Darn, how many times do I have to tell my family that they should at least leave the keys to my aunt or at my cousin's store when they're going out. They won't even give me a spare key. They'll be so sorry when I get home. I'll rant so much. I'll throw a tantrum. I'll get their keys and tell them "How would you feel if you got locked out of your own house?!!!!". Just you wait, people.
Sheesh! And I even had to pay 20pesos for the tricylce just to go to the nearest mall! I'm also gonna pay for this internet rent! I also have to eat at a fastfood chain! Plus 20pesos again for the trike home. Oh the expenses!!!!!
While the dogs are barking and howling from inside the living room window, I saw this guy looking at me. from afar. He lives 2 houses away from where I live, renting at my aunt's apartment unit. He was smiling and laughing to himself. Stupid bastard thinks I like ugly and stinky morons like him. Yuck. If I have my own goons, you'd be dead by now. Hah!

Wooo~ scaryyyyyy!! Hey Naoto! with that face, I'm now confused on who's the real Maou.. haha XD
--------------------------
My sister's reading the Ryusei no Kizuna translations so I can't watch anything on Youtube. I sneaked here while she's busy mixing the dogs and cat's separate dinner. I'll just drink coffee before going to bed. XP

why is it that no matter what i do, i still get zero for being nice?
cest la vie, as my friend would say. whoever said that thing about positive career = negative lovelife? or vise versa?
how come i don't have both? oh no, i'm not complaining, reallllly.
don't worry, i'll still give up my train seat for elderly and pregnant women.. just because some men had their butts glued to their seats. so ungentlemanly of them. hehe

"Ma, bayad o, isang ro-ro-Robinsen's" *sabay ngiwi*

Yay! Maou 7 subs is now out! I can finally watch! wooh~ 8D
...but I have to rest for a while coz my sister and me just finished watching Disney's Camp Rock. It was a fun tv-movie *sings: This is true this is me...*. Joe Jonas is so cute... and errrr... it sounded a little wrong but yes, I'm fangirling another younger guy.. haha. Thank you torrent~♥
I miss watching Tegoshi, my niban! *needs to download the NEWS DVD or anything with Tegochan in it* (hmp.. my sister told me Jin Akanishi doesn't like Tegonyan... well, WE don't like him either..hihi)
Oh I remember, I can't download until I have back-up files and reformat the PC. Mr. Intarweb Man was here yesterday and told us that there's nothing wrong with the internet connection. I'll reformat it this week and if the mediafire and megaupload downloads are still not working then wooh! they're definitely gonna hear from me.

A sunny sunday morning at the cemetery. The heavy rains from the past few days left puddles and flood. We brought orchids to decorate the tombs. There are mold forming on some walls. My sister just had to write Arashi, using a stick to scrape off mold. XD

While eating some snacks, we met a familiar face.

The same orange and white tabby making rounds on the cemetery last December 2007. We named him Bob. A very nice cat.
(photo taken last Decemeber 09, 2008)

He lost a little weight. This is our third meeting. He just pops out from nowhere. Maybe he's also visiting my mom =)

Bob ♥

It's a good thing I snatched the remote from my dad to change the channel to NHK. Shounen Club Premium has a summer special with V6's Nagase as guest with lots of performances from other JE groups.

Smiley Aiba-kun~

They're teasing Shochan :D
Kaze no Mokou eh! Yays! 8D

They showed 5 AU CMs...
first is Ohno's simple 980, Jun's CM but I forgot to make a cap hehe, Nino the alien, Sho's henshin, then Aibaka's new grampa gift CM. :D
They teased Sho into wearing a denim pants.. I don't know why coz I can't understand. ORZ

Just finished watching two episodes of Waterboys on TV5. I really enjoyed it even if it's tagalized! I like their new program lineup- korean dramas, local shows, chicklit dramas, hollywood movies and japanese dramas. I only saw the commercials but haven't seen the other shows except Waterboys :P
Okay, back to Waterboys. I saw 2 eps tonight... if they're showing 2 episodes every week then there'll be a new j-drama every five weeks? (Maybe?!)
Young Yamada Takayuki (Wooh~ my Densha Otoko) and Eita (Takeru!!) ♥
Yamada's in Crow Zero with Shun Oguri? Okay! I'll watch it tomorrow. Yays! :D
--------------------------------------------------
I mopped our living room and kitchen floor. I'm very productive haha. And oh! Arashi performed Truth on Music Station! ♥♥♥
---------------------
I want to watch the live-action of this anime:

Cute no? :3
Here's the live-action version...

Waaaaah~ so cute! I've seen one episode on youtube and it's so funny. My dad's gonna laugh at me if he sees me watching a kiddie show haha but I don't care. It's not really a pre-schooler's show, I mean, just listen to Maruko talk! She's like an adult trapped in a little girl's body! XD
I think I'll buy this in Quiapo. Yeah 8D

I watched some youtube videos last night before going to bed. There are old Filipino commercials uploaded, some of them were aired when I was still in elementary. I also watched videos of Smokey Mountain (first ever record my sister bought).They're so amazing. I listened to 'Paraiso' last night and it made me cry. (Wooh~ Why so emo? haha). Another night of reminiscing coz I miss my childhood so much (quarter life crisis? I don't know D:)
So after a few google clicks, I finally donwloaded their album. Oh yes. =)

late 'e-o-d-d' for yesterday. i'll just post it today hehe
typing the whole every-other thingy is super effort... but i'm a lazy bum so starting today i'll just use 'e-o-d-d'.

I painted this while eating my TLC burger lunch. I'm still using an optical mouse in drawing/painting digitally. I love how this turned out. I've always wanted to achieve the almost nude colors with soft pastel effect. The finished painting reminded me of a great Filipino painter that I admired when I was still in college -- the artist Caloy Gabuco . I love how he paints women. His subjects have angelic faces and soft features. I've seen some of his mother and child paintings and wanted to learn how to do them. I fail at portraiture but I'm pretty happy that I can draw and paint women better than painting men. I can't paint children no matter how I try, they always look midget-ish or awkward with abnormally large eyes..haha
------------------
I enjoy watching the olympics on TV with my dad. He'll calls me whenever there's a japanese in every match so that I can try to spot Sho-kun in the audience. :D
Michael Phelps is so amazing! So amazing ♥
-------
I love watching Project Runway Philippines. They're all good. I love the bickering. I love the designs. But.. but... I can't believe Lord Maturan was booted out. I like his designs and he seemed like a very smart person. Oh well. I'll tell my sister to watch the replays coz she still hasn't watched a single episode because of her work schedule.
-----------
Maou episode 6 is my favorite so far. Naruse is pure genius. He's becoming more EVIL! And poor Naruse's not qualified to be loved. wheeeeeeeee~
Yasuko to Kenji episode 3 (that's the latest I've downloaded huhu) has more Tsubaki Jun (Okura) screen time. Too bad there's still not much dialogoue. But I love him still. <3
Eriko Sato "Cutie Honey" (honey flashhhhhhh!!) is the guest. She's so cute :3.

Wednesday post by a wednesday child. whut?! XD
I've been so busy with work that I didn't have time to post my 'every-other-day-drawing' last monday. It's still in the computer at home. Today's another day for a drawing. I'll make one after lunch since that's the time when my creative juice will be flowing. hehe.
Well anyway, the reason for this post is because I feel that I should write about the drama "Yasuko-to-Kenji". I haven't flailed properly for the show since I don't know anyone (well, personally) who has seen that drama, not even my younger sister. She's too busy with school work but I'll make sure she'll watch it tonight. haha. (pressure!!!)

I watched this primarily because of Tabe Mikako. I loved her in Yamada Taro Monogatari and I got curious when I read a post while blog-hopping that she's with another JE boy in this drama. I couldn't find downloads at first so I asked my sister to search for torrent files. There are torrents!! And because of that, I learned how to download torrent (haha oh my, what an accomplishment).
I LOVE this drama. I love their acting and the story (it's a manga live-action). Tabe Mikako is her usual giggly girl and she's so embarrasing and funny. Her mangaka brother, Kenji (played by TOKIO's Matsuoka Masahiro) is a very great actor too. His exagerrated facial expressions whenever he's mad is pure win. The cute owner of the flower shop who has a dual-personality, Erika, is also awesome with her character shifting from sweet to plain scary. haha. Her younger brother, Tsubaki Jun, is just. just. just.
Okay! Screencap~

*Melts* Even without the effect I'm sure that's exactly what I would have seen when I watched the pilot episode. He's oh so sparkly!
So, I goolged the drama and found out he's Ohkura Tadayoshi of Kanjani8. What?! I didn't know there's a super cute guy in Eito. Seriously, I didn't know. I only know Ryo and the names of the other members, have seen their performances in Shounen Club premium but but... why am I so late in this?
Wheeee~ Ohkura, you're now on the third spot of my favorite JE boys, you pushed Yamapi down to number 4.
TVQX's Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarou? A cappella version is so beautiful I want to cry. They're really talented singers and they deserve more exposure and album sales. I love them even before I became an Arashi fan. I'm so happy that they're also doing great in Japan. <3

Today, 9th, release of Kaze no Mokou eh PV
ahhh... be still my heart ♥

my dad is so funny. he just came home from a meeting when he saw us watching Truth PV on the DVD player (I burned it so we can enjoy the feeling of watching it on TV as if we are in Japan lolz). he's like a little kid with his silly dance steps while watching Arashi XD

Watched the opening of the Beijing Olympics on the local channel while eating dinner. Amazing! It was so beautiful. I'm so proud to be an asian.
We waited and waited for the the Philippines' turn with Manny Pacquiao as the flag bearer. We got bored because there are commercials on the local channel's live telecast. I opened Keyhole TV to check on Maou but couldn't find TBS channel. I spotted a channel with 200+ watchers, NHK, and opened it. Yay! live telecast of the Olympics, 3 seconds advanced from the local TV.
Click. click. clicked another channel.
Voila! News Zero just started!!! I saw Sho-kun! woo! I'm so proud of our Keio boy!
His expression while watching the opening ceremony fireworks is so priceless :D

Dear, close your mouth.. hehe
after a few minutes, Keyhole lagged. and then it stopped. gah.

Can't you see? Every step I have taken, since I was that child on the bridge, has been to bring myself closer to you. ------- I want a life that is mine! -------- The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves. Until one day there are none. ---- In that moment, I changed from a girl facing nothing but emptiness, to someone with purpose. I saw that to be a geisha could be a stepping stone to something else... a place in his world.
yep, Memoirs of a Geisha movie. I'm now a Ken Watanabe and Zhang Ziyi fan :D (Gong Li is so beautiful~) |

'every-other-day-drawing' [080708]

It's my younger sister's birthday today. I gave her money but the monetary gift didn't feel quite right (and special) that's why I decided that I'll just draw Ohmiya for today's drawing exercise. I didn't want to draw Ohno cause his nose is a pain to draw but, oh well, there's no escaping it- I really need to draw it for my sister even though I know that the outcome would look sucky. orz
no, wait I take it back. that's not really Ohno.. it's just a random person with Nino..haha :D
-----------
I remembered my obsession with the Backstreet Boys last night while inside the jeepney on the way home. I became a fan when they went to the Philippines in 1996. My parents supported my sister and me in our fandom. My mom bought everything there is about BSB: magazines, VHS tapes and cassette tapes (we don't own a CD player then). She even gave us her expensive unused collage book so we can make a clippings album. I begged my dad to make a bank account with the money for concert tickets for when they decide to come back to Manila (haha stupid kid would do anything.. my dad tricked me into believing that he did make a bank account for the tickets though XD). Well, they came back... after 10 years. I thought I wasn't that much of a fan anymore when they returned. My elder sister bought tickets for my mom, younger sis and me. I left from the office to meet up with my mom and sister at Araneta. I thought that it would be a simple performance- just another concert. But when they appeared on stage, I cried. I cried so much! It was so magical... a dream come true. They were a huge part of my childhood, of my highschool days. If I didn't become a BSB fan, I'm sure I wouldn't be an Arashi fan either.
I'll wait for my chance to see Arashi. It's possible. It will happen. Oh yeah. :D

KAZE NO MOKOU EH PV preview. I LOVE IT. Sho is so cool! I can see his beautiful muscles.. haha XD he's wearing cute boots! Ohno looked so good spinning around. Aiba is.. hot.
But.. but... why is Nino wearing a silver bathrobe? (haha joke!!) It's not really that bad compared to Jun's weird uneven sleeves.. hehe :D:D:D:D

no 'every-other-day-drawing' yesterday... if i make one tonight, it would still count, right? (riiiight.. i'm trying to convince myself.. haha!).
well anyway, i'm turning into matsujun's 'bambino' - my little cooking skill is now A-OK. on saturday, i cooked carbonara for dinner. my family loved it.. even my dad who calls my cooking "chamba" said it's so good. i am so proud of myself *accepts non-existent award*. then yesterday (sunday), i cooked chicken teriyaki for my lunch since i don't eat sinigang (i'm not fond of sour dishes XP). i also cooked... dundundun... BANOFFEE PIE. hell yez. they're all praises for my culinary skills. younger sister even told me "mom, would be very proud!":Di'm made of awesome, i know! haha XD.too bad my phone's still dead and my sister brought her digicam for a mini-photoshoot. i would have taken a picture of it because i'm so happy and proud hihi :D:D:D i just realized that i really enjoy cooking and i can make a living out of it. maybe one day i'll can have my own restaurant? i'll only have three foods on the menu: Okonomiyaki, Carbonara and Banoffee Pie. hehe 8DEDIT: because i'm a cheater.. here's my artwork "for yesterday" (a quick sketch which i made in 15 minutes)
