I think I have a future in gift wrapping. Well... at least thats what dad says. The whole process became like a mantra after the first few mugs we had to wrap for dad's Christmas give - aways I was finishing like 2 - 3 mugs per 1 arashi song... and there were like 60 of those. Not to mention that I myself alone peeled off those price stickers that are totally annoying. Well.. there's nothing to complain really... it was easy money... ahaha

Then after that, I went on sensei mode recording my sister's student's grades for 2 subjects. Seriously... those made my head spin. For that at least I'll get my Starbucks frappe.. yay! Oh and would you believe that even my other sister is now liking La Corda D'Oro being shown in Animax right now.. hahaha~

Small favors that benefit me~

**you'd really notice how bored I am... hahaha~

Well I think its around this time 31 months ago when I first finished watching HYD Returns with my cousin... I guess you can say that thats where it all started. Watching a drama at the start of the day, and absolutely falling in love with one of the leads by the end of it. Well... not that I complain... heck, for some reason it did really did wonders being swept away by the Storm... I became more happier and appreciative among others. Heck... That's what I get when I keep on watching 5 rainbow men oozing of hotness, fabulousity and ironic as it may seem, gay and bakaness all at the same time... Well... that is Arashi... haha

Its totally fun starting the new term on the 12th of November... Well... I was just all about missing Jun when we were waiting for our professors to come... seriously, with only three hours six days a week at the uni... I pretty much have all the time there is to day dream... as of now of course... haha

Well... there it is,,, my lame 31 months in the fandom post.~

Pathetic for a post I know... but I'm happy~ yay me~

Mara desu.

So technically the new term after Holloween - All Saint's/ All Soul's Day - Semestral Break has started... Well, except for my uni which will start its 2nd semester only on Thursday. Everyone's out of the house which leaves me alone with pretty much nothing to do... I've finished reading the book I borrowed ffrom a friend, I've watched all the DVDs I was supposed to watch and now boredom is slowly sinking in. Because of that, I've been watching the new PV of Arashi, My Girl for the nth time and I've been tearing up for the nth time as well. Seriously, if they were going to act like brothers... OMG... What a powerhouse family that'll be. Crazy house full of Hot guys having psuedo - arguments about room assignments while another one is unusually serious and the other one is well... in his own world but who cares. If they're hot they're hot. No arguements.

So... other than that keeping me sane... HAS ANYONE SUBBED THE HNA EP WITH THE ARA-OKE SP??? I so totally want to know what were their exact comments when they were talking about the fans singing their songs... especially the group who sang Happiness with different lyrics and masks to follow... I was watching the raw I got from youtube awhile ago and those people are seriously lucky. Not only did they get to see Arashi in close proximity they also got to sing with them!. Oh yeah! Especially the girl pair who were singing One Love. OMG. Jun and I think it was Sho sat beside them while singing the chorus. How lucky can you get???

I'm so happy for those fans... They had the best Karaoke experience ever. Of course, I'm totally wishing that could be me there... even though I know that once they barge in the room, I'd totally faint or cry or run out or drop dead right on the spot... whichever comes first of course...

Well... there. I'm sharing my boredom in lj. As if that matters since its totally obvious... Now my DL is about to finish... Finally.... **sighs** I have to look for the subs of that HNA ep now... Ja ~

Fine. I'm only human and I admit it. I like listening to 2ne1... well... its only two songs by them actually... I don't care and In the club... The songs are really meaningful and sad so I don't thing its quite bad. Oh.. and I enjoy the english versions in youtube. I don't know if its actually them or if those are mere covers.. if they are they are pretty awesome then... I've been listening to In the Club for awhile now... well.. because i refuse to download it... pride issues...

I think my cell phone just snapped. Why??? I didn't do anything like you dropping hard on the floor yet you wouldn't charge nor do you open. Why?? Oh... sorry... you do open then after a few seconds you'd go off by yourself... no... you fade away by yourself... Uwaa~ I need my phone! I mean.. okay fine... I can get  a new one eventually but I'm not sure if my contacts are saved on my sim card or my memory card... Talk about depression now... I don't really care much for my pictures on the phone memory... nor do i care about the messages... I just need to make sure of my contacts... please please please! I need a miracle... T.T
_____

I just had to mention this... I was watching Smile just a while ago and well.. I went totally kyaa~ when Vito said "I'm not her boyfriend or anything but, I would like to protect her... I have to protect her"

__________

Back tomy depression...

Okay so I've only heard of this last night from Kat... and I had to find out myself just so I know... apparently, the guy who played Rui on the Korean Hanadan is playing Jun's role of Momo... and the Korean girl playing Sumire kinda looks like her... or maybe its just me... whatever...

‘Flower Boy’ Kim HyunJoong and SuAe from movie ‘The Sword With No Name’, will act in romantic comedy ‘You Are Pet’.

‘You Are Pet’ is a story from the 14-series comic in Japan which sold over 6million copies after its publication. It is about raising a boyfriend like a house pet.

It has been made into a 10-episode drama by Japan TBS station in 2003 with average viewership of 15% (equivalent to 30% in Korea), making a big hit at that time. In Japan, Matsumoto Jun aroused attention from the public for his role in this drama.

Kim HyunJoong’s role is the main character Kang InHo grows up in a female dominant environment, while learning ballet, he knows well what he can do to be able to be loved by females. Even though he is a promising classic ballet dancer getting recognition internationally, he ran away from home to the disappointment of his family.

SuAe’s character is Ji EunEe who is a reporter at a general media firm and takes on a job of a simultaneous translator after work. She had conflicts with her boss and was demoted to take care of monthly female fashion magazine instead. She started her cohabitant life with Kang InHo with ‘Owner and Pet’ relationship.

Production company Ludens said that this movie would likely to premier in April next year.

Riding on ‘Flower boy’ syndrome Kim HyunJoong and ‘pure and innocent beauty’ representative SuAe, they have gathered attention both locally and in Japan to see if they can drive this ‘Pet syndrome’.

Well this isn't much of a celebration post... I just wanted to drop an entry to say that today is another Arashi day and all Arashians have a reason to celebrate! 10 years and counting... I love it... and now, I celebrate by myself with dinner, cake, Sho - centric fanfics and more Arashi vids~

yay!

*** Oh yeah... do anyone in my flist know where I can get hold of more completed Arashi fanfics??? Nothing with yaoi but with OCs as much as possible..???

Yesterday, October 31st was a real surprise. I woke up at around 4 in the morning by the strong winds terrrorizing our place. Seriously, the windows were slamming shut and the wind chimes were like roaring. Then I heard my folks outside panicking a little because the bird cages seems like it would fly off so they were scrambling to tie them down. It was one heck of a storm. It was so strong and so fast that it seemed totally unreal. Thankfully, the dreaded storm has passed. Pity, however those whose homes got messed up. I heard from the news that there were some whose house roof got blown away while others have no homes left at all. Really -- nature, when it bites, it bites hard.

Anyways, yesterday was my sister's birthday too and we made a "birthday cheers" with a shot of tequila. They made me drink one as well and heck was it strong. One shot and I was already sitting down and refused to take one more. It wasn't bad actually, its just that it was too strong and the taste when swallowing the drink down was a bit icky for me. Tonight, we settle for mixers. Vodkas and Gins. Yay us!

It was fun going shopping for Christmas decors too. Now that its November, we can freely experience the Christmas spirit. Haha. Green and Orangey Gold? is our theme this year.

**sighs**

Tomorrow we go to the cemetary to pay our respects. I hope there isn't that much people by then...

Happy November 1st.

-->> Mara desu

Well... its officially the 31st of October frome where I'm at... so that kinda means two things...

Happy Halloween to everyone and a Happy Happy Birthday to my twin sisters who will turn 23 by around 9 am later...

So in that account, we'll be having a Halloween - Octoberfest with the tequilas waiting for us... after dinner I suppose but that'll be like more than 12 hours later... I should be sleeping by now actually but stupid Plants VS Zombies is keeping me awake infront of my laptop..

*sighs*

Have a Happy Halloween everyone~~

--->>> and on the side note, there's another storm hitting the Philippines today, its supposed to have hit the land by now but, I have no idea what's happening on other places... From where I'm at everythings cool, the rain have subsided but there's still the winds... (gosh~ I'm smiling by myself with Niji playing by the background Lalalalala~) well anyway... please do pray with us that no harm will happen here.

Thanks and GoodNight from where I'm at... no,.. its actually morning already right? 12:34..

Ja~ not making sense anymore.

Mara (m_ _m)

There. haha... thanks again to aya_no_michi for letting me grab this MEME. I ain't tagging no one. But this MEME is amusing though~~

Ja..

Random things about today..

1. Well... I was totally on a bitch-mode just a while ago. Stupid lady constantly flipping her sharp - end hair that it was slapping me right in the face. Seriously... I was lucky that my sister was with me to calm me down or I might've grabbed her fugly hair and pulled it out of its roots.

2. We're ready for October fest. Shot glass has been bought... there's tequila and vodka, limes and salt for chaser... hmm... I guess what's missing is food right?

3. I was watching tenjostyle 's fanvids particularly the one she made for the 10th anniversary...well... I love it... really fabulous I must say~

Well... that's it... I just felt like posting something here. haha.

**uwaa~ I'm nervous about my grades~~~ I hope my hardwork pays off... especially in Internet Marketing...~~

Final examinations are finally over. Yay! I have like 2 weeks of break before my final term starts. eew~ I can't believe its my final term already. Really... time flys right? Well.. the past years have been one heck of a roller coaster. It's totally frustrating and happy and sad and exhilirating.

Anyways... our exams ended at 3 and I got home at around 8 because me and a couple of fabulous girlfriends stayed and ate and went somewhere to purchase my sembreak - dvds... I need something to keep me sane so I'll be watching Yamapi, Nakayama Yuma, Takki and Nishi... yay!

Oh! I wanna share this..

Well, what can I say. Dad's really lucky when it comes to Golf - lotteries... Previously, he had won a washing machine, a pioneer dvd player ang with yesterday's game... its an IDEAPAD by Lenovo. Seriously... He's a lucky guy... and I'm lucky I'm his daughter and my older sisters are already working with their own laptops already. i just actually opened the laptop topic last Sunday when there wassome wort of sale in the mall we went to... then last night i had the call from him in the middle of my finals review... and there he gave it to me... sure, this isn't really the brand i wanted but who cares.. laptop is a laptop... and beggars can't be choosers.. right?? I'm just totally ecstatic... although someone here is... oh well... she'll get it out of her system eventually~ yay me~~

Well.. of I study for the last two exams... ~

Yay~ we had our feasibiility paper finished, revised, approved and signed by our lovely panelists. Really... we were given a professor as a panel and she was known for being totally strict and perfectionist when it comes to the paper. I mean... I know its quite natural to be like that since she is assessing feasibility papers but anyway... that came of as a huge shock for me and my group... or at least for me... so anyway, I'm just so ecstatic that finally, we were able to get pass her and got her approval for what would determine our possibilities for graduation come March. It was a huge achievement. Out of the many groups there is, we were assigned to a panelist no one really wanted and we overcame that wall. And, what makes it more fabulous is that according to her, our group was the first paper she signed under the Marketing department (my major) how fabulous is that.

On to my last week... Can't wait for semestral break but before I get all excited about that... FINALS EXAM here I come~ but I have to go read some fanfics first... just to keep me sane. hahaha~

m(_ _)m

Waa~~ TOO MUCH KAZU. TOO MUCH SHOES. NEED MORE JUN. NEED MORE SLEEP. Argh~~ Recitation for Pricing tomorrow. Chapter quiz day after. Argh~~~ C'mon let's just get this over with~

Is there a point in doing a countdown? Well I have 2 weeks left for the first semester and it's going to be one hell of a week. Major revisions needs to be done for our feasibility, a lot of reading to catch up in lectures, sit on last minute long - quizzes, jam my head for recitations and Crap! I have to finish my website too..~ oh well... I'm almost there. Thank God I have fanfics to keep me sane.. XP

My country badly needs everyone's prayers. The storm has passed but the whole after-storm is tragic. A lot of people died and lost all of their possessions because of the storm. I have yet experienced this things until last Saturday when I myself was stranded at my university where flood water rose up to the chest level. Some areas were more critical when flood rose in tremendous levels that residents needed to go to their roof tops for safety. As of now, flood in some areas have subsided but there is no electricity and water. Some even lost their means of living which means they have to start from scratch again. A lot of people are already making efforts in helping the victims with relief goods even if everything is scarce right now.

To everyone in my friends list reading this. Please please please pray for the victims of the storm "Ondoy" as well as for the souls of those who died because of this storm. The country needs a whole lot of prayers for the recovery of everyone effected by the storm. Everything starts now. Their lives after this tragedy. Please join the rest of the Filipino citizens in prayer that the country may survive this terrible storm and find whatever light shines beyond the horizon.

Thanks a bunch 

Mara.

I finally got home after 29 and a half hours at uni. I haven't had any sleep nor full meals, but still the comfort of my own house is better than an evacuation - like school.

eew much. i actually crossed the flood water that is knee - high. i am currently stranded in uni with 6 other fabulous friends and a bunch strangers. No food. No anything. I wanna go home but its flood everywhere. eew. this storm really has to stop... i feel bad for the trees outside... it seems like they wanna fly away now... thank heavens the wi-fi still works and my friends have laptops... but still... I. HATE. THIS.!

REFUGEES STRANDED. SOS,

*dies in misery*
