Oh-chan's Confusing Day

Hahaha. What's up with the title? ALMOST ALL JE FANS KNOW IT'S RIIDA'S BIRTHDAY TODAY. Uhh, wonder if the same is true for me. Hehe *admits defeat*^^

Anyway, I honestly thought his birthday was last Saturday (Nov. 22)! I was in Gateway to meet up with some customers and someone told me there would be a gathering (same place) for MatsuJun Phils. I said, "Why do they have a MatsuJun gathering on Ohno's birthday??" Well, it's nothing different since they are all Arashi fans. It's just that Jun happened to be their Ichiban (the same case that Pi is my Ichiban, but I'm a fan of NEWS in general). I was planning to crash the gathering (I looked for them in the foodcourt), and when I saw them there was a huge cake on their table. So, they were actually celebrating Arashi no Riida day! ^^ But I was too scared since I know no one in there, so I just went home immediately.

I even texted my cousin to inform her that it was Oh-chan's birthday that day. Hahaha. I'm too baka. And I call myself an Arashi fan. *shame on me*

Anyway, Riida's getting old ne?~ Hahaha.

As a birthday tribute, I'll be posting 3 not-so-rare Ohmiya pictures! For one of my favorite OTPs! Kyaaa~ ^^

Aren't they uber-Kawaii here?

Save your last dance, Nino-chan.

Daijoubu. I'll protect you.

Kyaaa~ ^^ *faints of happiness*

Disclaimer: I still disapprove of boy love. This is not Yaoi. It's called MEMBER AI. :p *safe defense*

Otanjoubi Omedetou Ohno Satoshi! ^___^

Hataw Hanep Hero 2008

Day 1, Friday, Nov. 21, 2008
Silver City, Pasig :)


Yay! Finally, another Anime convention! And this time, it's Hero TV's! :)
Our classes ended at 230pm, so Popo and Pinky drove us (Atashi, Anna, Kris, and Zaps) to Anna's place in Eastwood. Waiting for the time to pass, we karaoke-d at Power Station first (Jap songs!) and played arcade! Yay! :D

We left at around 530pm and took a cab to Silver City. I was dressed-up in my Vampire Knight night class uniform again, without portraying any specific character as usual. Anna and Kris were both dressed-up in Harajuku street fashion (yeah). Zappy, came in a Light Yagami-like wig, plus himself.



When we arrived, there was literally no line for tickets but the gate was still closed (so the line was actually for the gate). It took more than 30 minutes for them to open the gate. While waiting in the line, we took a lot of vanity pictures.



Yoda
was there!
Yay!


Another thing... We were on TV! LMAO. It's Anna's fault for dragging us (it was supposed to be HER TV exposure.) So, this is what happened. We got interviewed about anime and convention stuffs. After that, people began texting us "I saw you guys on TV!" Waaah~ Embarrassing. Hehehe. I just heard they showed the part where I said "We're cool! + animated peace sign" *dies*

Anyway, so much for our 10-second moment of fame. I saw Jin-sama again! Uhh...in a tarp. Hehehe.


I took time posing with Astro Boy.



And look! We bought mega-kawaii hats! :D Sailor Moon in this pic is a Yuto - HS7- HSJ fan! Yatta! Another JE fan. :D She's Apple-chan. After she asked for my number, two other girls approached me and introduced themselves as Yamapi fans! Hahaha ^^


Can you spot Anna and I in this pic? Hahaha. We joined a game! Remember the longest sound? Hahaha. Eventually, both of us won. Anna was the champion! (with 26 seconds! I only got 23. Hehe) But we received the same prize. Hehehe. ^___^

More!!! Another TV exposure. A "Myx" staff approached us, asking if we can appear on My Myx. Hahaha. VJ Robi interviewed us. Hahaha. He's a Kouhai from ADMU. ^^ We did not introduce ourselves properly though. Bet he wouldn't care. ;p Darn kouhais. Hehe. *peace*


Oooooh! I saw the really cute guy who played L from UP AME again! This time, he came as Sasuke! Uwaaa~ He's really kakkoi ^^ I wanna take a solo pic with him but I was too shy. :( *end of my "lovelife"* Hehehe. Look~ The one in the rightmost corner! Kyaaa~ ^^

Okay.. I'll end this picspam right away. If you want the complete set of pictures for the Day 1, you can go to Anna's multiply. :)

Ja ne~

Gay Ryo scandal?

It's been a while! And of course, based on the title of this entry, I'll be blogging about Ryo. Uhh. Nothing long, really. I'll just post this pic I found in news_jpop (sorry to the owner of this pic, credits to you!)

This is a SCAN from a German anime magazine. Yep, a SCAN and not a manipulated pic.

Photobucket


And what-the-hell is Ryo doing in that article?! Fans from Germany were really happy when Ryo-chan appeared in one of their anime magazines. Only to their shock when they found out it was for an article entitled "Gay in Japan."

Okay, according to the German fans, Ryo-chan's name wasn't even mentioned in the article. But isn't that kind of rude when you use a someone's picture without his knowledge (or the management's permission) for those kinds of purposes?

Of course, most reactions were negative. Fans were talking about copyright violations, morals and stuffs similar to it. But others took it lightly saying that "Oooh. It's funny to see Ryo beside the word 'Gay'" or "LOL. That was epic!"

We react differently. It depends on how we would take it. But in this case, I personally don't like the idea of using a random pic you got from the internet and making a story out of it. [Like how girls who keeps on posting their sexy pictures in their friendster accounts, and other websites only to find out they are being sold @ 3 for 1oo in the DvD stands of Quiapo, you know what I mean.]

Is that so difficult? They could have just done relevant photoshoots and other sh*ts! Not putting any images at all might be even better. Where are the morals in here?

Remember when Kame's pic was used in this Chinese soap as a funeral pic? This somehow reminds me of that incident. Johnny's must take action, really.

Okay, I lied. That was long.

P.S.
Looking at the good side though, at least Germans would think all Japanese gays are hot. Thanks to Ryo. LOL.

On OPM as my previous fandom.

Warning: A lot of love and hate ahead!

I went home yesterday to Cavite (no classes today! Hurray for Faculty Day!) So anyway, I was so darn bored when the lights went out at around 3pm. I know myself. I'm a cyborg. I can't live without any electronics around me. And yeah, I know the same is true for anyone -- I learned that from Com11 and will further learn that in Com12.

So I went to search for my old stuffs in this a poor cabinet, aka my Kuya's closet. My old OPM CDs!

I just realized that I have these many stuffs. When you're a fan, you won't even realize how much stuffs you are accumulating (and how much money you are spending for the love of it). Anyway, for my current fandom, I'm aware of my personal financial situation that I can't afford to buy so much stuffs, esp. the original ones.

Top: Ultraelectromagneticjam (Various artists, Eraserheads songs), Destination XYZ (Callalily), Half Empty, Half Full (Cueshit?! #%$@^@$), S
Middle: Palabas (Spongecola), Dramachine (Sugarfree), Panorama (6cyclemind)
Bottom: Twilight (Hale), Hale (Hale), Transit (Spongecola)

[Early defense]: WTF?! I even forgot that I have this Cueshit CD!! Then, when I tried to reflect, I realized that my cousin was a fan of this shit band called Cueshit. And we even went to a mall tour. The worse, I have a pictures with them. (Of course, past is past. Someone already enlightened me, which I wonder who.)



Twilight and Hale :D

I was a super "Haler." Ask my HS friends, who once tagged me as "Champ's wife." Of course, everything is an illusion, the same as how I imagine myself as Yamapi's wife. LOL. I think I blogged about my experiences with Hale twice in my multiply blog, and countless times in my blogspot. When I got into college, that's when I stopped being a Haler since I don't get to listen to radio anymore (plus LSFM go converted into the ever corny *puke* Barangay LS Forevurr!)

As a Haler, I can't forget the several mall tours (esp. the LATEST one, May 2007 when Champ recognized us, note the "Elaine" on the white Twilight booklet), and the Twilight album launch (the signs on the Twilight CD). And of course the ever-kilig Champaine (that's what I call our "love team": CHAMP + el-AINE) phonecall conversation my bestfriend arranged for me.

[Note: Never mind the grammar of those journals. Forgive me, it kinda sucks.]

Spongecola is one of my favorite bands everrr. I just love Yael's voice, and his compositions too. ^^ My sister on the otherhand likes Armo and Yael. Hihihi ^^ the Transit album is an ultimate favorite! I love every single song! Now come to think of it, where the hell is my Transit CD?? *Kuyaaaa!!! You're dead!!*

My first OPM CD i got from my first concert (we travelled 3hours from Cavite to UP Diliman right after class with our Math teacher!) Sugarfree's Dramachine! I only got to listen to this a very few times (Anna would kill me). But I loved it! Ebe's voice is one of the sweetest ever! Where is my Dramachine CD too!? Kuyaaaa!!!


I'm a Minder (that's how 6cm fans call themselves)! I love 6cm! ^^ Ney's voice soothes my ears. Best vocalist award goes to... Ney Dmac! *clapclap* I remember when Neva told me she's gonna marry no one else but Ney. What happened, dear? Hahaha. Tatandang-dalaga ka nyan! :p
Oooh. And the UEMJ album ^^ Love it. I had it signed by 6cm too.

Skip the Cueshit one. Darn it. Kill them noooow! (I would be happy. Hehehe). The greatest thing I ever witnessed in a concert was when fans/haters started throwing bottles at them. Yay! ^^ Unluckily, some members blocked the attack. Sayang. *sigh*

Okay, Callalily's debut album Destination XYZ. Hmmm. I used to like them, really. But then things change. So as their attitudes and images. Seriously, this is my personal opinion, I don't want any fights here in my personal space (except if your a Cueshit fan, Yamapi hater, JE hater, or HanaKimi Japan vs Taiwan forumer). I don't know the band personally, so you might think I don't have the right to judge them. Go away. Don't read and keep the hate to yourself. This is the evil INTERNET.
*gets stabbed by multiply-users callalistas* Anyway for the "love", this album is one of the nicest ever. Listening to every song wouldn't waste your time. Really good song writers. ^^ I shall remain a fan of the album.

Okay, I shall stop here and go back listening to J-Pop. Hehehe. The Color album is going to be released soon (Nov19. Happy Birthday Shan-shan, and Mark C.)! Looking forward to Yamapi's MOLA solo. Hahaha. The lyrics will be all in engrish-u! :D

Meeting "Yuya" and Jap People

LMAO. I attended ASEC's 2nd General Assembly a while ago, of course alone. I have been in ASEC for almost half a year now but still I haven't been really active. Now come to think of it, I volunteered as a Project Manager but my project has yet to be assigned.

Anyway, a little background about ASEC. ASEC means Ateneo Student Exchange Council. One of it's primary role is to entertain [tour, chat with, befriend, etc.] the foreign exchange students studying in the Ateneo and let them have the most out of their stay in the Philippines.

So, there were some exchange students from Japan who came. And there was this dude who's name is Yuya. Sorry to disappoint you but he's not as cute as Tego is. LOL.

My first reaction was, "Hi Yuya! Do you know Yuya Tegoshi?"
He was like, "Umm. Who is he? A broadcaster?"
Huh?! Hahaha. "No, he's a singer. Do you know NEWS?"
"Ooooh. New-su! So who do you like?"
"Yamapi."
"A lot of Filipino girls likes Yamapi and Matsumoto..."
"..Jun! Yah.," I interrupted.

Oh well, I can't help being a fangirl with real Jap people! ^__^
Naubos lahat ng Japanese ko!!!
I was telling Yuya that I learned Nihonggo during summer classes. But then, when I began to speak, he doesn't seem to understand at all. [It's definitely my weird Fil-Jap accent.]

I also met Yoko. She's my favorite Jap person in ASEC! She's super friendly! Plus, it's amazing how she can speak in Filipino fluently. Therefore, we had an awesome conversion although I wasn't able to test my Nihonggo skills again. O_o

"Mag-usap tayo sa Tagalog," she said. *elaine shock*
It was amazing.
"Wow! You can definitely speak in Tagalog!"
"Oo pero konti lang."
She can really converse! OMG. I wanna say "sugoi!," but I don't wanna embarrass myself with those big Jap crowd.

She said she studied Filipino language in Japan before going here. Her teacher is also a Filipino. Sugoi ne~

Ofcourse, when I found out she was from Osaka, I immediately asked.
"Ooooh! Osaka! So you know Nishikido Ryo?" LMAO.
"Yeah. I think he is good looking."
"But my ichiban is Yamapi."
"Oooh. Yamapi ne?~"

I just can't help it. ^__^

P.S.
I also met Ionne, ionnesaysrawr of LJ. I was able to say hi, but unfortunately, no conversation :(
Oh well. Looking forward to meet you again dear ^^

Tegoshi's Happy Birthday :)

Otanjoubi omedetou Tego-chan! :D

Can't believe he's only 21! That makes our 4-year age gap! He's sooo young. I mean, I have blockmates right now who are turning 20 next year. :D Super cool!

Anyway, I was supposed to celebrate Tesshi's birthday today (I even invited people from je_philippines) but it was a failure. It was raining so hard! The JE fans from ADMU I was supposed to meet was not able to go out. Anyway, we are still celebrating tom ^__^

Hurray for Tesshi!

Even prettier than me :)

Sorry for the vanity! I'm really vain especially when it comes to NEWS! I love photoshopping my pics with any NEWS member [It makes me feel we are somehow one]. LOL. :D

Okay, definitely, I'll have a Tego bday post to follow. ^^

On Cosplays and Jin Joson | AME 8th Avenue

oUP AME 8th Avenue. Bahay ng Alumni, UP Diliman QC. November 8, 2008.

Last Saturday was something new for me. I got to wear the Vampire Knight Night Class uniform in a convention! It was an amazing feeling ^___^ Think about being stars just for a day. Like for example, as soon as we got out of the taxi, a group of people already asked to have their pic taken with us. Hahaha. Coolness. Yay!

VK+ GROUP!
Aubrey, Setti, Ian (Rozen Maiden), Elaine, Aljon

We actually didn't portray any specific students since we don't have enough budget to buy wigs and other stuffs [except Setti who was obviously portraying Rima although her hair wasn't dyed orange]. It was our first time to cosplay too [again, with the exception of Setti and Ian]! So forgive our unprofessionalism. I know we can never look like Alodia or Jin and Team Tux.

I badly want more pictures but then, our "photographer" got lazy and did not come. :( So, we do not have a complete shot with other groups (T_T)

The Cross Academy with the Ouran High School Host Club!

Ooooh. Speaking of Jin Joson and Team Tux...

I was so excited. I was expressing how much I want to see him inside the cab we were riding on the way. I was hoping I could see him there. Anyway, it was fate. I saw him and Team Tuxedo performing the Naruto Skit during the group cosplay competition! It turned out that they joined! Sugoi! (@_@). It was actually my first time to see Jin, but the moment I heard the screaming fangirls as soon as he got on stage, I knew it was definitely HIM.

Jin on the right!
(sorry for the pic)

So, I was in a "kyaa~" mood for seeing Jin until Ian [Setti's BF] destroyed everything for me. If Ian-chan did not clarify Jin's gender then probably right now, I would be still crush-ing on a girl. That's uhh..gross? Haha. But if it's Jin, then...umm..okay. Nevermind.

It was a big shock for me when I found out he is a SHE. Jin is actually a cross-dresser! And I have been looking at his her deviantart gallery for so long, admiring his her awesome cosplay pictorials with his her team! I honestly thought she was a guy who lloks like a girl! [Never thought she was the opposite, a girl who looks like a guy].

Atleast I'm not alone. There are so many Jin fans out there who are still in the state of confusion. And girls who can't accept that Jin is one of them. Especially when Jin introduced Nejin as his "twin" on one deviation. Here are some of the 4 fan assumptions:

a. Jin is a boy. Nejin is his twin sister.
b. Jin is a girl. Nejin is her twin sister.
c. Jin and Nejin is one person, a HE.

d. Jin and Nejin is one person, a SHE.

[It was an amazing photomanipulation. You can't even tell.] Come on. Nejin is obviously Jin's alter ego. The girly cosplayer behind the crossdresser.^^ So okay, I've decided to remain a fan. I still think she's soooo kakkoi as a guy. Darn. LOL. But yeah, Jin Joson is a girl and she is an amazing crossdresser ^^

P.S.
I just have to post this to prove that Jin is uber hot as a guy!

Jin-sama ^^
Taken from her gallery, behindinfinity.

JDramas! Tatta, Ppoi, HK SP, etc.

Yesterday, I went to school to pay for my tuition. I finally bought a DVD of Tatta Hitotsu No Koi starring Kamenashi Kazuya. ;)

Anyway, I just finished watching it a while ago. Hmm. What can I say.. It was not that awesome. I mean, the plot is too common. [If you've seen sooo many JDramas like me, most probably you would think the same]. Nothing interesting. I was expecting it to be more tear-jerking, but it failed me. :( Anyway, it's not that bad. I looove Kame's acting. ^^ No doubt about that.

I also finished watching Ppoi, starring Yamapi. OMG. Chibi Yamapi is super cute! Hahaha. It's so fan to watch with Yamapi (Aiba, Takki, and Nakamaru) looking like that. Hihi ^^

Hana Kimi SP isn't bad either. Kinda enjoyed it. Hehehe. I used to be a solid Sano-Mizuki fan, but being exposed to JE, I was looking forward to see more Nakatsu-Mizuki. Gaaah. Too bad.

Speaking of JDramas and JE, heard Massu and Nakamaru will have a new drama soon on January! Hurray! Gooo Massu! Anyway, Maru is the lead in this drama, while Massu plays as his bestfriend. I forgot the title. Geesh. I'm really bad at remembering details.

**
Going to UP AME tomorrow [coming in Vampire Knight night class uniform]~ Hope to buy some good goodies [esp. for my fandom] there!

Got to finish Kyou Kara Maou soon!

NEWS news :D

I've been reading posts from news_jpop.

In this translation by watchful21, she said that Yamapi will be singing MOLA, his solo in the upcoming NEWS Color album, in pure English! Uwaaa~ Why? Hahaha. It's kinda funny. At the same time, amazing ^___^ I do hope it turns out well. [Prays that Yamapi have already improved his diction].

Is this again one of Jin's influence? *cough LOVEJUICE cough*

**
In another translations, NEWS fans translated the MC part of the Sendai concert.

My favorites were:
- Ryo-chan being an evil S. ^^ [Kei calling him Sousuke *his violent character on Last Friends*]
- Massu's OC attack. [Tissue on his hands while doing push-ups. Dirty floor.]
- Tegoshi's "nakedness." [LOL. He doesn't wear underwear inside bathrobes]
- Shige tried to claim the "naked king" title, but Massu got scared.
- Yamapi saying he graduated in 4 years and nxjdkdnfel [to cover up his late graduation].

Koki-kun's Day :D

[November 5, 2008]
Why does blogger think it's only Nov. 4 today?! Shoul go check my time settings later.
Happy Birthday II U Koki-kun!

I dunno why Koki-"chan" doesn't work for me. Hahaha. Koki scares me. But I loooove how funny he is.

Kat-tun wo Abake became so much memorable after he cheated on the popularity contest. Hahaha :D

Anyway, I don't know what tribute to present. Lemme think for a while. Might just edit this post later. ^^

Anyway, I was thinking of something for Ryo-chan's birthday. I came up with these "graphics." I was too lazy to do better works. Gomen ne, Ryo-tan. But I already sent you a birthday card! I hope you got it. :D

Anyway, I just want to share to the world how I love Ryo's facial expressions ^___^
The Sexy Osaka Man I want to rape.
The Mysterious Look that is killing me.

The Child-like Ryo-tan ^^
