An article about Fujoushis!! And it's downright amusing indeed...

http://asia.cnet.com/blogs/mobileojisan/post.htm?id=63002350

OMG what did they do to the poor girl in the pic?! Chotto, soko - hanaji ga nai yo! Hidoi!

And although the article was rather new, the photos were outdated? I'm not sure about Tora no Ana, but K-Books' signboards don't look like that anymoooore. RAWR. Halt dein Fressen, Juengling.







[Edit:] Suddenly I got all interested and started googling and reading about fujoushis.

...HUH?!

ZEN ZEN WAKANE. =__=#

But I learnt a new word: FUDANSHI. Whoa-ho!

Ooo! That interesting gadget I bought in Tokyo actually worked!! Coz my work always demands me to travel or stand too much, hard skin around my soles is a monstrous bother to me. And though I got this cool stick thingy from Kyoto last winter, it needs too painstakingly the effort and time to have it serve its purpose...

This current gadget is battery operated, ahaha!! For the lazy me - me is beri happy.

And also... finally finished reading my f-list... x____x I'm still holding back on going to YD and TSK... I know what to expect already, reading from my f-list... *sigh* .___.

Oh, oh! And I opened the SCB last night! Don't know why I did so, but... the box inside the cardboard box is made of shiny. *___* Expecting the bedsheet to be the first item to see (I just know that...?) I lifted the cover very carefully... and OMG THE HAIR LOOKS LIKE... IYAIYAIYAIYAIYA... IYAAAAAAA~~~~~

*melts in a fangirl puddle*

...masaka... iyaa...

I couldn't bring myself to lift the cover fully... this happens like four, five times? XDDDD;; Each time maybe I managed to increase lifting it by 5 degrees more? NANI O...?! *////////* ORE WA CHOOOOU BAKA >____>;;

demo... shiwase ne... ^3^

ASAMI~~~~~~~~ <333333333333333333333333333333

I didn't even dare touch that chest face of his XDDDDD

Me back! Our plane touched down around 1am this morning... but Mum didn't wanna goe home yet (till in vacation mood I can see lol) so we stayed at the airport still I'm barely awake... Got a cab home around 5am. Geez, okasaaaan... <3

Anyway unwrapped the Onmyouji artbook (very very pretty~~~ and better than the available scans...!!) and Love Core at the airport just to entertian myself... Though Mum didn't wanna get home too soon, I was dying to, to unpack all my loot. Moi loot? Well, the baggage limit is one luggage to a person, so hand-carry wise it was FIVE IN TOTAL minus Mum's oversized bag. And 95% of everything is MY stuff. :DDD *dies in bliss* Two paperbags to carry the big-sized artbooks - plus *something special* (kyaaaa~~~ <3333), the rest are all books - I've lost count of how many I bought, but I'm slowly unwrapping them now so we'll know the number count soon *__*

(And that *something special* = the YA-sensei SCB - yeesh, moi found it *squiggles in hanaji*)

However there's always something to dread after coming home - f-list. T_____T I even dare not check up YD or TSK yet... There will be so many things to catch up on... -_____-

*back to unpacking*

Hello! Or rather, I made it! I know this came a month late from what I promised, but I finally managed to finish posting the Japan part of last year's winter vacation. The photos were a pain to upload, but now I'm glad I made it time, just before I leave for Tokyo (again lol!) tomorrow.

Just some warning before you start clicking the links away: I didn't realise I am such a photo whore trigger-happy person. I'd shoot at anything, and as a result, the daily photo count went up to 300+. I have reduced them to the most 100-ish photos per day for you... Just don't kill me for eating up your bandwidth or anything ;__;

Anyhow, enjoy~ These posts are definitely more exciting than the Texas ones~~!

Woke up to a stuffy and humid air last evening, which I so truly hate.

I think it was the same for this morning. >.<

Soba for lunch! Nya~ I think I'll never get prepared wasabi in tubes anymore... The one I bought tasted... so chemical. And that "woosh" wasabi effect felt so superficial. Mazui! >.<

I was dying to start packing my lugguage since last week, but I rather not. Firstly I should finish my chain of performances for the next three weeks before I begin anticipating. At least it won't make work more painful for me. Really don't know how to get through these weeks. *sigh*

So what I did just now was to unpack my lugguages. Lol. Still a lot of stuff left from the winter vacation. Managed to unpack half of the loot; the other half I didn't manage to clear away (until I clear some space in my room for them). So I did a lot of homework before I visited Japan last December, and together with the amount of maps and guides and pamphlets I brought back - they amounted to a pretty tall paper pile. Gosh, I never knew I had been dragging those weights behind me! Anyway I got them out of the lugguages, and that pile sitting on my piano chair in my room... smells like heavenly Earl Grey. In fact, that huge lugguage of mine smells so strongly of Earl Grey coz of the tea packs I bought from Texas. Ahahaha... Tengoku... Shiawase...! <3

*goes sniffing like I'm sniffing glue*

THIS IS IT.

any other items you wanna throw in my shopping basket?

Happy White Day, my dears!! <3

It's funny how I can have such a range of emotions. Today, it started off with eagerness, then at the turn of the tide, wrath - bitterness - self-pity - self-hatred - total submission - despair and lastly... I'm putting up a indifferent front right now. In a span of less than an hour.

I'll try not to think about - but it might not work as well when I wake up tomorrow. Scheisse. Trying to be indifferent at this moment and ignoring that wrench in my chest, so I reached out for the easiest solution again. Distraction, and I run away.

Watashi... zettai saitei desu.

Hence, stolen from Proko.

Slept off a high fever last night. Phew! Thought I got malaria or something (lol) - aching all over, high fever and felt like dying, then there's this strange insect bite on my left leg I found when waking up on New Year's morn. Still I plonged on the ivories last night lol. But imagine the pain when every inch and joint ached like the end of the world. =_____=

Seems sleep works better than drugs this time? Coz now the fever feels like it's gone, and the aching has lessened. By the way I've been trying my best sleeping more than 10 hours each day since the start of this hols. Ho.

I've been nagging at myself to continue updating the winter vacation posts... but I figure out I should wait till Monday, when the new lappie will be arriving. Then at least posting and uploading fotos will be thrice faster (I'm not exaggerating...) Looking forward to the day when I can finally anime and live-drama (arrgh, Nodame Cantabile >:EE) in my own room.

Currently addicted to Miyamoto Shunichi's songs. Ha... I must goe get more of his albums when I'm back in Tokyo. *___*

Happy Chinese New Year, minna!!!

Did not really spring clean this year - totally don't know what's wrong with me, lol. But major changes in my bookshelves. Those who are clear about how I arrange my shelves left and right side... A section from the right has moved down to the left... (movement once prohibited by moi and myself) And I have a brand new *hanaji* section LOL.

Never mind. I don't know what I'm saying.

But those stuff I've gotten back from Japan... I've still thinking hard how I can manage to squeeze everything onto the shelves.

Reunion dinner... was even more dull this year. Firstly no sashimi yusheng T___T If I'd know I would have sponsored the yusheng manz... Cz. Food was okay... just normal usual okay... The sushi Mum bought was in the end not too fresh. :( And the food pile on rice bowls and the flight of the yusheng... just ain't fun enough with Pandora not around. Gosh. Luckily I brought my HD along and had Jun Jun entertain me before and after the dinner. I had planned to watch some Jun anime, but in the end I was watching seiyuus' interview LOL.

Oh, finally opened Gankutsuou Complete last night. YAY WOW WHOA. *___*

Meanwhile, meme from saorren:



...which is quite true, and mostly false.

From seeress_pandora:

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

O-sashiburi.

Feels like I'm posting finally after one long year, ha. Rehearsals... are really on the roll... I totally have no more life left... as predicted... I'm already close to dragging my feet to the rehearsal venue. Muaha.

I'm giving everything to the opera. My free time, oh, my work time even... and this time it got even more serious? Coz I'm going for contacts. Yeah, that came from me. Since there's no pretty Espirit frame in Paris 1889, and I figured I shouldn't walk and act like a blind mice on stage... contacts are the sole solution. Sigh. I used to hate contacts yanno... coz to me it looks total troublesome. Kinda weird for Wednesday to come. Oh, performance period is this Friday to next Tuesday (minus our break off on Sunday). Meaning almost a week on contacts. I like not.

Check out our rehearsal studio anyway. (Not the performing venue duh.)

( Pic behind cut )

More updates when I find more online time. Or perhaps after the performance period, when life returns to the dull and I leave this strange dream of January.

Nyahh... When was the last time I felt the need to take time to chill out?

It works simple for me. Good J-pop music, Internet, silence in the house and nighttime. Easily appeased? Ahaha.

Erm, which I'm doing now? Kimochii~~~

Wokay. Glad I survived today. It was passionate teaching today. The whole day - no idea why I was so enthusiatic today haha. Choir rehearsal at a school in the afternoon. Omg... the kids like... remembered and missed me? It was like all chaotic in yaaaaaaaaays disrupting the choir practice when I entered the room. I was not overwhelmed at all; I just went WTH is going on @___@???? Lol.

Nyaahh... Feeling so relaxed now... but for how long...? Now something boggling me at the back of my mind. Act Two is not yet memorized! Arrrrrgh!!!!!! I FINALLY got the words right for the opening number (it's fbloody so wordy!!! >:EE) but still not fluent enough! And it's only the opening number of Act Two... So in deep shit. Tomorrow's rehearsal is still on Act One, but come Friday and onwards... the dreaded Act Two. Shit! Coz I understand there's gonna be a lot of movements... T____T

I can't even sleep in trains or buses, I'm always tearing the score apart while waiting for the buses... blah blah... I think right after work tomorrow I should return home to burn and drink the music before evening rehearsal... instead of dining with Mum? Bleh. Obviously, eat sleep La Traviata; anything else - there is no life.

[Crazy work rehearsal schedule, yet I'm posting crap instead of pics! Gomen ne... You'll have to wait till Feb? Or at least till after 29th Jan. Whaha.]
