sunshines in my life...

I'm back home, and it feels so good being in familiar environment again
to all friends and neighbors on vox,
I'm sorry for not being active/commenting this over 1 year on vox.

Since I entered work life so many things have changed.
I moved out from my parent's house, I went to work 5 days/week, study on week ends, I've challenged new experiences in life, get to know more people, stand on my own feet.
Was working abroad for 1 year.
And I got bad luck numorous of times... it was really hard sometimes.
But now back home i think i still have luck on my side,
for i can spend this cold winter with my family and friends and not somewhere abroad alone.

Met old friends from school and everyone has changed as well.
Some got married already, some went abroad/moved to other cities for work/further study etc.
we realized while talking that our tastes in life have changed or grown up also...

When i was cleaning my apartment, I saw Arashi's CDs and DVDs in a box,
and "true, i used to be an Arashi fan before"
how many times i've spend to fangirl over them in my college time *_*
watching Arashi's shows every week, listen to their songs, drool over their concerts..
it seems far away those times,
Arashi was the first boygroup that got me hooked into the Jpop, from Arashi i started to listen to other Jpop artistes
but Arashi was the Jpop group i adore the most,
because they're funny, cute, have good personalities, their group bond is to envy... 
my love for Arashi imprinted those carefree period of times.

When changes came
and i felt another impulse in my life
i realized Arashi's songs and performances no more inspired me or touched me in the way they used to be,
when i was sad and had a tough time, i listen to their new songs,
watched Arashi's performances and shows but i still felt something hollow in me,

i switched off to listen to black music only
but i felt my Asian blood is running in me and i again want to go back to my roots

my friend introduced the song "bolero" that she often listen to it
i found myself immersed into the lyric, the melancholy of the songs
and the strong yet heartbreaking voices of the performers,
they inspired and touched me with their songs and i came out from my sadness.

I found out they are Koreans who sings Japanese so wonderful touching
and they're a five members group as well
i was like "i don't want to fall into boygroup craze again" ^^;
but these five people really have strong and powerful vocals and songs that touched me
strangely i didn't find myself fangirl over them
i really like their songs and their performances (their dances are great too)
and it ended somewhere there ^^
recently i bought their Tokyo Dome concert DVD (reminds me when I was excited about Arashi's Dome concert)
and damn, i never expected them to be that good, no, really an amazingly great concert for an idol group
but to me they seem to break out of this Idol concept
wish them all good luck to overcome the recent lawsuit issue,
because i like their self composed songs and they have good personalities, it seems
and maybe they'll touched another person and inspired them with their musical materials
like it happened to me.
 

Basically I haven't been able to,
even leaving comments on neighborhood's blogs i was too lazy for,
I'm sorry!

Now it's holiday,
feels so good
that's why happy fangirling

to all friends and neighborhood!

Happy Birthday to dear Aiba Masaki!!

May joy and happiness snow on you,
may the new year bring you alot of delight and harmony!

Finally finished. I had a wonderful and enjoyable time watching 2008's 24hTV.
It was the whole staff and crew of 24hTV that made those hours worth watching but Arashi gave me those extra warmth and sincerity of the whole event.

Thank you Arashi for remind us of the existence of many incredible disabled people.
Thank you for bringing us those touching stories (as how I teared and cried in the middle of the night while watching)..

Thank you Jun ("Cambodia story") & Nino ("letter") for giving me more reasons to love you.

I'm glad to have come to know Arashi.

to JUN !!

Hope you had the best birthday ever.
And plenty more to come ya.
Best wishes on your birthday and throughout the coming year!

So I've catch up with Hanadan Finale.
So many promos these days: TFP II, Special in HK, even Himitsu-chan promotes for Hanadan F...
But strange, I'm not that excited :)
Only to watch Jun as Domyoji for the last time, I'm not really interested for the story, somehow glad that's the FINALE for that whole Hanadan-syndrome :)

I'm still in my "Orange Days" mood,
so dear neighbors, please bear with it ^^;;

About the cast:
I googled about OD on the internet, but there isn't much stuff left about the drama.
I guess becoz the drama's from 2004 so related clips/pics are no more up to date or available on the internet.
Only found a NG clip of the drama on youtube:

Satoshi & Kou
Then I've read rumors about Shibasaki Kou & Tsumabuki Satoshi ... are dating each other (since reunited in the movie Dororo 2006)... and are planning to get married.
How ironically and cute at the same time.
I found them cute and they have great chemistry on screen. But never thought they would dated each other in real life, coz Kou seems to be the wild type and Satoshi the nice-guy-next-door type. 
It's like "Orange Days" happy ending now transfer to reality for Kou & Satoshi!

I just started watching another great drama: Orange Days.
I love it.
From the very beginning.

And the cast is AMAZING. Talented young stars: Tsumabuki Satoshi, Shibasaki Kou, Eita, Narimiya Hiroki, Shiraishi Miho.

I'm currently watching Unfair.

Really a good mystery/detective drama. Ahh..the suspense is barely to endure.
The question that considers you from the beginning: who's really unfair?
I keep literally biting my nails to know who's the REAL culprit?!

And a good casting with Shinohara Ryoko (an impressive character) and Eita (what a messy-hair detective but hawt <3), the rest of the actors bring a good performance as well.
The insert songs (Faith by yuna ito & survivor by destiny's child) give a lively support to the drama.

I highly recommended this drama (even I havent finished it yet), especially for whom who likes kind of thriller/suspense drama!

EDIT:
I've finished UNFAIR.
What a drama, I like it alot.
Not to spoil everything for those who havent watch it, the end was somehow "expect the unexpected"... and my tears flowed T_T
Eita, he was amazing good in his performance, very convinced.
Shinohara was charismatic as well.

There's a movie for Unfair, I'll try to catch this too.

 

Does anyone watch Osen episode 5 already?
I'm downloading and clubbox sucks... =_=
Why I'm excited coz fans said that in epi 5, "Nino's imotou" is guest starring.

^^;;; you know who I'm talking about ne, it's that little girl whom we know from Yamada Taro M.,
she's so cute and talented ne,
how was her name? Riko-chan i think ...

Ah I wanna watch both pretty and talented starlets act in one drama >.<

EDIT:
Finally watched Osen episode 5
Yuu-chan & Riko-chan look so lovely
pretty and talented, they both shine for competition ^^;

next week's Osen: Osen's love appeared?
and is that Emi Suzuki guest starring also? I don't like that girl ah..

Will the producers put some special guests for the next epis? hmm...
