Waku Waku Shop

I was such in a good mood today because I saw one of my major campus crushes, that I have been emitting major GVs (GV: Good Vibes; opposite of BV: Bad Vibes). Example, I gave my friend an opportunity to choose any Lelouch sticker she wanna get. Before, when she was asking me for a particular sticker that she likes, I didn't give her any of them. :)) But since I was really happy a while ago, she got what she wanted. Plus she accompanied me during my "stalker-mode." :)). Okay, so much for the side story.

Anyway... After school, I went walking around Katipunan to go find the anime hobby store whose Ad I saw in Ministop. It's called the "Waku Waku Anime Hobby Shop." Here's the Ad that I saw:



So I got there and it appears that this FBR Arcade is the same building in Katipunan that houses Yellow Cab and Game Crab. I went looking for stuff, and the store is pretty much interesting. They have toys, figures, CDs, phone chains and more! There are even Stack-Up Cups -- a really popular hobby in Japan, and Pens specially designed for the art of "pen spinning." Yeah, I found out there's such a thing. :)) However as of today, the collection of items that they have on-hand is considerably small. The shop just opened 2 weeks ago.

About J-Pop CDs...they have original anime soundtrack CDs averaging at around 300php. Pretty cheap huh? They also have artists CDs, but sadly no JE. The owner said he has KAT-TUN's album, but he's not selling. He added that JE CDs are pretty expensive. Anyway, I hope they get into the business of importing JE CDs soon! [And I cross my fingers for them to be cheaper than online sellers!]

In the end, I only got daikon stickers..'coz I got no more money. :)) So to make up with it, I promised the owner I'd advertise for them, and blogging about this is the least thing that I could do.

For more info about the shop and to view some of the items they have, I think this link would help.

Ranting on YamaNade Live

Warning: Contains rants. If you have a different opinion regarding Kame as Kyouhei, I suggest that you need not read any more of the contents here. No disrespect meant. I am just a loyal JE fan like any of you -- not to mention, a YamaNade fan. :)

Just yesterday Lexie, a friend of mine from school, told me that Kame as in Kamenashi Kazuya will be starring in a new drama together with Tego as in Yuya Tegoshi, and another JE person. I was excited for it until I found out that they would be remaking the best-selling Yamato Nadeshiko (The Wallflower) manga/uber-popular anime.

Which means that:
1. Kame is playing Kyouhei. The guy who is uber-pretty; the epitome of a bishounen. Which of course, in my personal opinion, wouldn't fit Kame's image. Why? Kame has been building up on his "rockstar-ish" image (consider Lips PV, One Drop PV) and now you're telling me he has to play as this really pretty boy who went away from home because he can't stand the people who admires his beauty? Rant. Rant. Rant.

2. Tego is playing Yuki. Which of course, is okay. He suits the role best. Tego's one of the prettiest boy in JE, so I guess playing as one of the prettiest boys in YamaNade would fit him best. :)

3. Guess who's playing Takenaga? Uchi Hiroki is making his major come-back. I don't really like Uchi as a JE guy. But let's just see. I like his pretty face though.

4. Yamapi's younger sister in Buzzer Beat is playing Sunako. She didn't really show much of her acting in Buzzer Beat 'coz it's a really minor role, but I guess she'll do fine. Plus, it amazingly fits her image (I kinda noticed the 'dark aura' Sunako should possess while I was watching Buzzer Beat last week. Call me crazy/weird but I really did. Or maybe it's just because of the full bangs. Haha)

Anyway, I don't know who's playing Ichimaru. I still have to check.

All-in-all, I guess this drama would do fine. I'm excited for it, but I can't still accept Kame as Kyouhei. Believe it or not, I think Jin would play a better Kyouhei than Kame, appearance-wise. Or MatsuJun. Oh well. We'll see with Kame's performance. :)

AOF '09: Con Report

I've previously attended 3 Anime Conventions after a long cosplay hiatus~ :) Too bad I haven't had enough resources to have new costumes made. :(

Anime Overload Festival '09
My cousin Setti had to leave Cavite earlier than me so I got to the venue by myself at around 3pm. It was our first con that her whole family (with her mom and dad, and 2 little brothers) went with us. Come to think of it, that was only our 2nd con together, after last year's UP AME 8th Ave. :))

A few highlights:

(L-R)
Rayvin who was pretending to strangle me.
Me in my incomplete 'Harajuku' street fashion interpretation.
And Setti in her VK costume.


And then, there's the Pinoy Jun Pyo guy.
I actually didn't know he was cosplaying Jun Pyo until I saw his FB fan page.


Of course, we gotta love Harry Potter. :)
Who says Anime conventions are just for the Japanese?

But this cosplayer also got my heart. :D
I love everyone who cosplays Zero from CG.
(Not to mention really cute L, Zero of VK and Lelouch cosplayers) :DDD


However, this one's probably the best shot that we had, considering that the right configs on Setti's camera is so hard to figure out and I'm too lazy to edit 'em.
Anyway, with us are Mr. Vampire-looking guy and Mr. Butler from the maid cafe.

***
This doesn't seem to be a proper con report. But still a con report. Oh well. It's 3:57am and I still have class at 830am! What the H am I still doing? :))
Maybe I have to expand this entry some more..or next time or not. :)

Loveless

The full version of the song Loveless by Yamapi is finally out! It was just yesterday that I was drooling while listening to the song preview. Hahaha. Just counting days 'til the PV! OMG. I wanna jump for joy right now! ;p

I'll get my hands at those Loveless original Single Limited Edition A with DVD soon too! Hurray~ Thanks to my cousin for the early Christmas gift! It's really good to have someone close to me inside the same fandom. Hehe.

And not to mention, NEWS' Diamond Concert DVD will also be released soon! I'm super excited~~ (Though I'm not getting an original copy, I'm alwyas here to support NEWS!) :D

NEWS' DVD Covers Revealed

Finally, Johnny gave up being pasaway (sorry for the sudden use of a Tagalog word, but I just couldn't find a better word in English that could fit the description best) and announced that there would be a DVD for NEWS' Winter Diamond Party.

At last! After the long wait! Some fans were just beginning to accept that there would be no DVD (meaning no MOLA, Massuperman, nor Ghinza Rhapsody video taped!) But then, Johnny seemed to have a change in heart (so, credits also go to those fans who have whole-heartedly petitioned a DVD release)...and now the DVD is within our reach!

The only remaining question...HOW WOULD THE DVD COVER LOOK LIKE? "NEWS Winter Diamond Party" sounds too cool and elegant! It must match the theme right?

The answer Johnny gave us? *drumroll*

For the Regular Edition

For the Limited Edition

What the heck?! Am I actually spending more than 3 thousand pesos for that DVD? NO WAY.
Most fans (because I must admit, not everyone hated the covers) were in disbelief. Johnny must have not enough money to pay for photo editing. LOL

A fan (credits to shavadava) made this version instead...


LMAO. I died. The concept amazingly fits! XD.

Anyway, let us just look at the brighter side. AT LEAST THERE IS A DVD. And the content must be 100% waaaaay better than those covers. The DVD will be released on November. ;)

Pray for the Philippines

I could have been blogging about the release of the Winter Diamond Party DVD, the 2nd solo single of Yamapi, or his first solo concert..but no. There are lots of things more important than my fandom. Being a Filipino comes first.

I'm linking this blog entry to Jin's blog. After reading her blog, grabe, I was in the verge of tears. No one wanted this. No one expected this. It's just sad that some people don't understand the country's real situation. To those of you who are making fun of other people's misery..screw you guys.

The Mystery of Code Geass' Ending

Code Geass is the first ever mecha anime I've seen (well, don't include Voltes V, Daimos, BTX). I'm not really a rooter for Shounen mechas...but I swear, as soon as I've seen one episode...I realized how awesome it is. I just have to complain here that after almost 5 months, I'm still confused with the ending.

If you want to recall how the story ended, watch the video below.



*SPOILER WARNING*
Did Lelouch really die? It seems he did. When the fake Zero (Suzaku) killed him, it was so dramatic that you'll have no doubt about it. It made me cry, and I'm sure even you did (or at least, you felt like crying inside). But then, that last scene with C.C. just confused me.

C.C. was talking to someone...to Lelouch. Is she talking to Lelouch's soul in heaven (or assuming he's in hell), or that masked carriage driver..who might be Lelouch?

But if Lelouch were alive, the whole dramatization of his life would mean nothing.

Well, it's up for you to decide. I personally don't know. But right now, I'm 60% sure he's not dead...and that he is the carriage driver.

Hoping for a Fast Recovery...

I received this news while I was still out for dinner in this really cool strip of Japanese restaurants called Little Tokyo in Makati. What was supposed to be a really good night turned out to be something I expected the least. A NEWS fan, who appeared to be a past customer from JND, texted me this message telling that Ryo and Pi caught the Swine Flu. Apparently, they got it while taping for NTV's 24 hour TV. I was hoping it's all lies but no. Tokyograph and the jimusho just confirmed it.

I'm really hoping for their fast recovery. I'll really pray for this guys.

Nishikido, Yamapi struck by flu

Tue, September 1, 2009 (5:30am EDT)
Popular idols Ryo Nishikido (24) and Tomohisa Yamashita (24) have reportedly been infected with influenza A, according to a fax sent out by their management on Tuesday. It is said that there is a possibility that they have the H1N1 strain.

Nishikido was diagnosed with the flu on Monday, and Yamashita was diagnosed the following day. Their doctor has instructed them to take a break from work and remain confined to their homes until they recover.

Nishikido currently appears in the TBS drama series "Orthros no Inu." The seventh episode is scheduled to air on Friday, September 4, but some of Nishikido's scenes have still not yet been filmed. As a result, there may be changes to this week's broadcast, and future episodes will depend on his recovery.

From tokyograph

HIM. :D

Today, I saw this guy and OMG, dude! I was literally about to scream when I realized I'm in school and not in a convention. So I just gathered all the contents of those emotions with a smile. I think I did smile at everyone, even those whom I don't know. Hehehe. They might have thought I was crazy.

Anyway, he's really cute in person just like in all cosplay pictures he has modeled for. :) He's just wearing normal casual clothes, but his bag was that of a sling bag of your typical Japanese school boy. I'm not putting much details 'cause a little more info might give me an "obsessed fan" image. I AM NOT. I'm just happy I saw him. That's all. ;p

Credits for this picture in this link.

Of course I know who he is, but I'm not putting his name here. The power of search engines might put me in a super embarrassing situation -- considering that we're students of the same school. XD

Happy Birthday MatsuJun!

WOW! I failed to notice that August is already ending and my blog's 1st year anniversary is coming! My first blog entry was posted last September 16. Maybe I should do a big post for that. *starts thinking* :D

Anyway, it's August 30! Everybody here knows what this means, ayt?! OTANJOUBI OMEDETOU MATSUMOTO JUN!!! *throws confetti!* The youngest member of Arashi has just turned 26! Hahaha. Arashi's getting older, I just hope their looks would stay the same for long. I still couldn't imagine them at Nakai Masahiro's age. Hehe. Gomen ne, Nakai-san. I have nothing against you, really :)

I'll edit this entry for a bigger birthday post for MatsuJun, when I'm in the mood. XD

Weeeek's Studio Setting

Remember Weeeek's PV? Of course you should! No fangirl forgets these kinds of BASICS. The production was wicked cool, the studio design was awesome, and the post-processing was a major BOOM! Plus, I so love the song. :D


The designer's inspiration? Probably the work of this artist! I have been staring at this picture like crazy and gosh, I'm still in awe! Look at the similarity between the two! One could really tell Weeeek's execution's totally excellent!

I found and downloaded this pic over the community months ago. But I only remembered having it yesterday while browsing randomly through my fandom folders. I've heard that this artist is famous in his line of work. Hmmm. Surely famous enough to inspire the staff who made this PV possible. ;)

Tegoshi Fan Report | Seeing Nino and Aiba XD

Recently, a fan reported of seeing Tegoshi inside a bar's VIP section flirting with a blonde. Somehow, my clean "kiddo," kawaii image of Tegoshi has been damaged. Well, it has been damaged before too. I remember seeing paparazzi pics of him after a night in a club before, but it just went out of my mind for some reason (Tego's cuteness, perhaps?). Harhar.

Anyway, I still love Tego. It's kinda normal for teens to go out in clubs nowadays (well except for me, 'cause I don't go clubbing by any case). Anyway if you're interested in the full story just read the whole fan report in this link by kaburi@lj.

***
I met this Japanese girl during a meet between two school orgs, ASEC of ADMU and Tomokai of UP. During the program, the members of Tomokai sang a Japanese DBSK/TVXQ song (I forgot the title, sorry). This Japanese girl whose name is Kanami (if I still remember it correctly), commented that the singers' diction is really good. She then asked me if I like DBSK, but then I said "No. I like groups from Johnny's more." The conversation then continued until we arrived at a common interest -- Arashi and Nino! And believe me, I could have died of jealousy when she told me she accidentally saw Nino and Aiba roaming around the streets of Shibuya. I was like "OMG. REALLY?"

But I didn't get to fangirl that much in front of them. They might think of me as weird, in which I think, I AM. Really. Hahahahaha. :))

Ai Ore!

Ai Ore! is the sequel of my favorite gender-bender manga, Ai wo Utau Yori Ore ni Oborero! (though it's my favorite, I can't still remember the whole title..so long!)

When Akira announces he was a boy in the first book "Ai wo Utau Yori Ore ni Oborero" so does the fact Akira goes to Dankaisan the boys school next to St. Nobora (Mizuki's school) Things start to get rough when pressure against Mizuki dating a boy from that school rise. - Mangafox



Agh. AKIRA looks like a REAL guy here. I'm liking him more and more ;p

As of today, I love how the story's progressing. :D Let's just see what happens next ^^

When I'm Bored

I was browsing through some old pictures when I found these stuff taken last February during our field trip for our Leadership and Strategy 1o class. Turns out I become KINDA weird when I'm bored. LOL

I was vandalizing my friend's arm (yeah, arm) with all these fandom stuff.

If you don't get what's in the picture: "I'm straight. I (heart) Ryohei. Chiba Ryohei ga suki (I like you!)"

Anyway, Ryohei is a member of the J-pop group "w-inds." My friend Lexie is (or used to be) a fan so I got to be familiar with them. She's the one who wrote the Kanji for the name while I did the romaji and hiragana parts. I did vandal his arm is because Lexie once told me this guy finds Ryohei "good-looking." LOL. But trust me, he's not really gay. Hehe ;)

Yamada's Look-alike :D

My nephew, Ice, has always been mistaken as a Japanese. Once, when one of my elder cousins (not the one in the video but Ice's mom) went to the hospital to have Ice's health checked, a hospital personnel approached and asked her "Hapon po ba asawa nyo?" [Is your husband Japanese?] My cousin was really amused. She politely answered "no," while thinking if that was supposed to be a racist comment, Japayuki judgement, or a compliment.

We were really in awe when she told us this story because my younger cousins and I have been calling Ice, "Yamada"-- we recognized that their resemblance is quite near! Ice responds when we call him Yamada, anyway. Though he keeps telling us he doesn't like him. Hahaha. I dunno why -- but then he idolizes Koki for his rap :D


Yamada and Ice

However, not everyone might agree, especially Yamada Ryosuuke's fans ;) This is our own judgement. If you think otherwise, then don't hate us. You can comment on this entry for your rants, just don't curse. And don't say my nephew's ugly. He's NOT. That's bad. LOL

Medley of Love :)

This is the real reason why I wanted to go home so badly -- I'm excited to record the Arashi-Hey!Say! medley my cousin and I have been practicing for quite a time now. :) Well actually, my cousin had a hard time recalling some of the steps because she's spending most of her [fandom] time studying Korean dances (SNSD, 2NE1, and T-max, I think?) But then, she remains to be one of my biggest fandom buddy ^^




Note: In this video,
1. A.ra.shi
2. Love So Sweet
3. Your Seed [with Ultra Music Power's intro for transition]
4. Mayonaka no Shadow Boy

It's not as perfect as I was imagining it to be...but I was just really happy performing the dance with someone, rather than dancing this alone. I really love my cousins. *hug* Yay! Let's record again next time!!

Yamapi's Manga Version + Takki and Aiba's Desires + CUT-TUN, :D

Note: Please forgive the wordings and grammar of this post. :)) I promise you, I'm not always like this.

***

We are currently having this forum in the je_philippines community about the prettiest JE idols among the jimusho. Of course, as expected, Tego is all over the discussion -- but to my shock, there was no Pi! So, coming to the rescue, I began searching for Yamapi's girly pictures and I got across this photo over the mangafox forums.

And I was like, OMFGosh! He can seriously pass off Ichimaru(?) of Yamato Nadeshiko (manga version)! Hahaha. *begin

Of course, this is Pi's old picture. But heyyy... The resemblance, mhen! It's like seeing double! 0_o. I LOVE YOU, PI! (^____^)/

Even Takki loves you...that he gets satisfied by just sleeping with your uchiwa:))


Not to mention, you caused young Aiba to rape do this to you :D

Hahaha. :))

***
Also, there was this picture posted over kattun_love's main wall. WTF! WINNER! LOL. If only winnerpinoy readers get what this means, I would have submitted it :))

Credits to the person who posted this (I forgot who). This is NOT mine. By any case.

Oh, I love CUT-TUN yoo! :))
Dear person who did this crime. You've just commited a mortal sin over the JE fandom, by just disregarding the 2 most popular boys of the group.

C-amenashi (?)
U-kanishi (?)

LOL. Kill me. :))

My Love for YUYAs :)

First of all, I don't really address Tegoshi Yuya as Yuya. I call him "Tego or Tesshi." But then, I'm used to calling Takaki Yuya as "Yuya," so please don't confuse the two while reading this blog entry. :D

I love both Yuya Tegoshi and Yuya Takaki for their pretty faces. I don't know why but for me, they really do have a good resemblance (well, except for their names, that is). Anyway, these 2 people always come into my mind when people talk about "bishounens." Yeah. I consider them real life bishounens. WHY NOT? :D

I love Tego. He currently ranks 3rd on my JE ranking (well, Nino has already overtaken his spot for quite a time now). Tesshi really gives off this "kawaii" aura that anyone would have difficulty in hating -- though most of Tego's haters uses this feature to accuse him of being a "slut" or whatever. HEEEY. Sorry for being good looking! Here's one proof.



At first, I never saw Takaki Yuya as a pretty boy. Guess I was mistaken when I saw this picture. :) He seriously reminded me of Tego! Of course, just being Tego, you should have lots of girly pictures like this. :D Soooo pretty, Taka-chan!! ^^


With this, Tesshi and Yuya (Taka-chan) are really one of the prettiest boys in JE. I don't ask you to agree with me, this post is purely subjective. Well, Yamapi should also rank in. Hehehe :D

***

Randomness:

I was reading this manga called Ludwig Revolution. The main character is a really weird guy but with a really pretty face. Of course, this bishounen reminded me of the two JE princesses I mentioned above. :))

Can you tell the resemblance? :))

JND shirts helps you meet new friends!

I attended Toujin's 1st GA a while ago. (Toujin is a Japanese culture appreciation org in the Ateneo). Since my friend Kris couldn't make it due to some medical reasons, I texted a JE fan who got into the school recently (who also used to be our customer when we were still in the JE shirt business). I was asking her if she still wants to join the org since I don't have someone to go with. She agreed and we had fun! Hi Rachelle (There, I spelled your name right ^^)

Anyway, after the program, a girl approached me and asked if I were a fan of Kanjani8. I immediately answered, "Yes! I'm a fan of Johnny's! Why? Are you a JE fan too?" " Yeah. I'm a fan of Kanjani8. I saw you wearing that shirt!"

Her name is Nicole, by the way...And yeah, I was wearing our johnnynodepato "Kanjani1" shirt. Really, wearing any of johnnynodepato's shirts helps one to make new friends. Hehe

So we had a little chat..about LJ, fandom, and such things. The most shocking discovery was when I found out that she used to be our customer too! She and her friends bought several shirts (and ofcourse, being the on-hand manager of our business, I still remember her surname from the database. LOL) I wasn't the one who met-up with her anyway, it was my cousin.

The world of JE fandom is really small. We agreed to meet-up again sometime and organize a gathering near our school. Yay for JE fans! :D

Nino and the Order of Arashi: Kazunari Granger :D

LOL. I love this entry's title ^___^
Because Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince is premiering this week, I guess I have to post this pic I found in a friend's multiply account. :)

Credits go to navy2. This isn't my artwork in anyway. ;)

This picture is really a jaw-dropper. It's so funny!! I really love you, Nino :D
Now I can't wait to see the REAL Harry Potter movie!! :D I'm soooo excited! *dances*
Anyway, don't get yourself mistaken and think that Nino is really in the Harry Potter movie. No, he isn't :) (Though I wish.)

Cheers,
Ely-chan

Happy Birthday Shige-chu!

To the most elite member of NEWS, I just couldn't let the day pass without droppin' by this blog to greet him...OTANJOUBI OMEDETOU, Shige-chu!

Shige actually used to be my least favorite NEWS member (Now, he's my 5th. Sorry Koyamama). But that doesn't mean I hate him... Actually like him -- his "fail" personality, and his looks too~ I even liked him after watching his episode of Shounen Club Premium, one morning. Then I felt like crying...I never knew idols would also feel "rejection" and "unpopularity." He speaks so well...as if speaking direct from his heart...As expected from a law student. I guess? Hehe :)

Enough for that dramatic side, now let us take a look at Shige's transformation...

From this "kid..."


To this hot guy...
Note [pic above]: I always love this pic! Too hot, Shige! T_T

Whooow! His transformation has been amazing, right? Sooo kakkoi~ ;p

However, Shige-chu's not always this cool. He is very well known for his funny "fail!" moments :) And now for the laugh...

The most epic "Kuchi Zuke Wo~"
Photobucket

Again, happy birthday Shige-chu!!! :D
Weird. Writing this blog entry feels like confessing my love for him. Haha. I should begin reading less shoujo mangas. ;p

Chiinen's proposal

I got curious with newshfan's highlights on this clip so I decided to download it.
"Yamada has to make up an excuse when he is caught cheating on his girlfriend. His excuse was pretty hilarious! And then Chinen has to propose to a lady. His choice of words were so sweet & shocking that you could hear everyone gasp and look shell-shocked~!"
And OMG, seriously, Chiinen? Now I love him! He's just toooo cute!!!
I was silenced, and my heart literally skipped! Hahaha.
That's even an impromptu! This 15yr old kid will grew up to be a playboy. Kidding~ ;p
Anyway, it's a one winner proposal! I could have married him right away. :)

Sorry Sorry by SuJu in Cebu :D

This video is full of win! Never imagined that the Sorry Sorry Dance fever would even rich the prisons of Cebu, Philippines. :D

And look, they accurately did the steps in most of the parts!





JE fans are planning to campaign that the inmates dance to the tune of Koi no ABO. And I thought, why not? The JE fandom deserves to be given the spotlight too :D

My Desktop + Winner Org Interview :D

Because I just love him. I don't know but he's my favorite for the week! Hahaha.

Ryooo...

Everytime I look at my desktop, I feel like melting. YEAH. I'M SERIOUS. One time, I unconciously did the 'peace sign.' Hahaha. :D Oh anyway, I still love Pi better. Hehe.

***
A while ago during my interview for an org, I was asked, "If you were a project, who would you like to manage you?" I answered..."Yamapi?... Ah! Or maybe Johnny?" ROFLMAO. And I was not joking -- definitely. Haha.

Also, while doing the interview, this girl from the org played the single 'A.Ra.Shi'.. Imagine, I couldn't concentrate 'coz I just wanted to stand up, sing the song and dance to the music! Hahaha. That would be a total win if ever ;p

Ryo = Pure Love

I just died. Hahaha. I didn't know Ryo sang this song..until now, of course. I just couldn't imagine a rockstar version of Utada Hikaru's First Love. ;p But Ryo made his version pure WIN! :))

Oh! I REALLY LOVE YOU, RYO-CHAN. :))



So kawaii~~ *moe*moe*

Kimi ni Todoke has new updates!

One of my favorite mangas, Kimi ni Todoke, has finally resumed to be updated! Though I just noticed it today, it seems like a scalation team started to accommodate this manga as their project recently.

Two chapter updates are enough to drive me like crazy. I'm totally into the Sawako x Kazehaya pairing! :) I like Kazehaya-kun!!! He gives off this 'really nice guy' aura. And I really think he likes Sawako, though he doesn't confess yet~ He blushes! Awww...

Oh! I've read that the mangaka will be resuming the manga this fall! Good job!!! I really really love this manga!!!

Sorry for the exclamation points! My tension just got higher because of this news. Hehe ;p

Only real men could carry pink jerseys this well. As expected of Pi :)
Oh, I love that PBA logo :)) Reminds me of my Caguioa fangirling days. Oooh. How nostalgic! :D


Anyway, please support Pi's upcoming drama, Buzzer Beat! Coming this July! [Please see related posts for more info.] Yosh~a. I miss you Pi! :D

Happy Birthday Inoo Kei!

My cousin texted me early this morning about Lee Min Ho's birthday. Yes, that Jun Pyo guy from the overpopular BoF (though I'm not totally familiar with it.) I didn't know today is also Inoo Kei's birthday! OMG! How could I not know?!

Shadow boy :)


Yeah, if not for LJ, I wouldn't know at all. Oh well. At least there is still enough time for me to greet him. :) Happy 19th birthday dearest Inoo-chan! ^___^/

Hot o_O

And no, I'm not a pedo by any case 'coz he's older than me by a year. Hahaha. :) He's definitely one of my favorite JUMP member (Next to Taka and Yuto, I guess?) :)

Nino-chan turns 26 :)

To the guy who never fails to amuse me,




To one of the most sarcastic idols ever,




To the ever-talented musician,


To the one person who could be cool and cute at the same time,




Happy birthday to my favorite Arashi member, Ninomiya Kazunari-chan~ Though he has turned 26, he'll always be the Arashi baby for me :D

Baby Nino-chan~ :))
