Wow, what a sleep XD Woke up at 5pm, in time for our family dinner at Gerry's Grill. Was surprised to see my adorable nephew here too. I was carrying him around so proudly in the mall earlier coz the people would always have something cute to say. I just have to make sure to mention that Im the auntie (not the mommy) loud and audibly specially when there are really cute guys around *lol*

Anyways, I can't believe that our karaoke-addicted neighbors are at it again. I think they have been karaoke-ing since Wednesday. Here is the real shocker---> IT WAS ACTUALLY FOR SOMEONE'S WAKE (O.O) I was surprised to hear that myself too. I was just told that this morning. Im probably used to them having their karaoke nights almost every night but c'mon, shouldn't they atleast keep quiet and pay respect to the deceased just for this time?! Even if it is to say that they want to remember happy memories, having karaoke nights teamed up with bottles of beer and disturbing the neighbors is just going overboard (>.<) The worse thing, they closed down the whole street for this. Their kids running back and forth as if they were having a leisure walk in a public park on a sunny day. Our dogs kept barking at them. Kashimashii (>.<) Add to that, our stupid homeowners' president is not doing anything coz really, the guy is a total dirtbag. He strikes me as the type who'd volunteer his own vault password to anybody when they don't even know he's got one. That stupid (>.<) I dont know how long our neighbors plan to keep this up. I hope I have enough patience to still take it but tonight I'll pray for their deceased to haunt them in their sleep. Their deceased and the friends of their deceased who are also in the afterlife. I really think they should be taught a lesson (>.<) (>.<) (>.<) (>.<) (>.<) (>.<) (>.<) (>.<)

In the meantime, I go watch 'CINEMA PARADISO'. Trying to catch up on artfilms....as if! (^,^) Think happy thoughts Dithers. Think 'Crazy Rainbow' + 'X-Dame' happy thoughts and go back to that very happy place....

play hard, work harder

2007-03-24T08:02:00.000+08:00

It's past 8AM, Saturday. My body is tired but my mind is all awake the whole night 'til now. It's not caffeine coz I hardly have coffee these days. Not sugar rush either coz it's been 7 hours since my last apple iced tea. And even if symptoms may look like it, let me assure you that it's definitely not CRACK yo! XDDD So why am I still infront of KYON (my laptop), sitting on the same couch where my dad had seen me last, last night and first to see me on now that they are awake?! My best and only guess --- its the BIG "I" (Insomnia). The usual culprit of my sleepless nights. Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~

What to do while Im waiting for Mr. Sandman? I'd do the inevitable. I decided to squee about TxT's latest PVs since I have got time to spare (in the wee hours of the morning when most of you in my timeline are still fast asleep XD). Yes, not another TxT entry on the PVs *lol* But indulge me people since I am the one who tosses and turns myself to sleep here :p :p :p

We got ourselves 2 more adorable PVs to kyaaaaaah~ on. The 'Crazy Rainbow' PV and 'X-Dame' PV. Both still have a lot of 'HO! SAMA' dorky + baka moments to it which I love very much. I think these new PVs and 'HO! SAMA' PV are all on the same set ---> THE KAKOII + DORKY/BAKA SET as opposed to THE KAKOII + SERIOUS/MYSTERIOUS SET where 'Kamen', 'Serenade', 'Sotsugyou', 'True Heart', 'Get Down', 'Kiseki', '1Day 1Dream' PVs fall into. 'Venus' and 'Yume Monogatari' for me are still uncategorized or should I call them THE KAKOII + SOCIAL AND VERY INTERACTIVE SET with those international delegates in 'Venus' and lucky, lucky fans in 'Yume'??? Yeah, I know Im crazy to come up with such things *lol* So girls and boys, do not follow my example. Get 8 hours of healthy sleep daily hehehe~

After more than 10 times repeat of each PV in my player at work and at home, these are what my little frenzy fingers managed to screencapped. Just *click* the caps to enlarge:

1 - 2. Tackey did a bit of 'Crazy Rainbow' furitsuke while Tsuba did a cross-promotion of 'X-dame' here. Of course, they did it in their own cute ways *dokidoki*, 3 - 4. If Tackey-kun plays darts, Tsuba-kun will play too *lol*, 5. Tackey displayed the winner bedimpled grin, 6. Tsuba displayed the kawaii loser face *lol* We've seen a very close relative of this reaction on HEY3x before~~~ *COUGHTsubarcheryCOUGH* hahaha~, 7 - 8. Our lovely boys were taking their time singing and lounging around when suddenly, 9. Tackey checked his invisible (but very reliable) watch *rofl* and said "Uh-oh Tsuba-chan, we really have to go now. Boss will not be very happy~" XDDD

Boss may not be very happy to know that his 2 topnotch clubhosts are still out and playing specially that they have a very, very difficult customer who just called in a reservation for tonight *lol* Daijoubu boss, you'd be proud to know that it's not all games the whole morning. They have been practicing in between too *lol*

And so as the night starts, the challenge to charm begins...

1 . Tackey and Tsuba welcome blondie-mama inside the club in their dashing oshare suits, 2. TxT entertained their difficult guest for the night--->Blondie-mama. If she would have been any younger, she would be kicked to Timbuktu by Skammie and me and most likely, the rest of the fandom *lol*, 3. Tackey's reaction to Tsuba's fishbowl Martini glass x 1 is already funny. x 3 is just toooo *ROOOOFL* See how his precious bangs shake??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~ *wipes happy tears*, 4. Tackey tries to exert his charms on to blondie-mama which actually left blondie-mama in a moment of weakness on this particular cap as you can see *loooool*. She was actually having an internal dilemma while this was going on: "This young man's too cute but the director says I should play primadonna on this and no retakes. But he's too cute (@_@)" XDDD, 5. Tsuba tried his charms on her too with strawberries. C'mon, I know this blondie-mama is gonna crack if it weren't for the cameras. DANZEN deshou?, 6. Tsuba fixes his suit while Tackey gets a little self-love. WTH!!!! Crazy *lol*, 7. TxT getting dumped over that guy?! So now we know why she's being difficult....she's got bad taste hahaha~

Tackey and Tsuba in their silver suits dancing *shields eyes* hehehe~ Anyways, I think Id go to sleep now if I want to join my family later for some celebrating. My sister's graduating from pre-med today that's why they were up early.

OMEDETOU LIL SIS!!!
Hopefully I dun wake up tomorrow
and miss your graduation celebration.

Kami-sama, keep my dreams safe from this creepy gothic creature when I go to sleep. Hontou ni, kowakatta ne~ I dunno how many times I've seen her on X-Dame but still, kowaii yo! *trembles*

30 + 270

2007-03-19T13:30:00.000+08:00

I am not trying to sound like a math genius here. The little equation up there came to me when I was rushing an SMS reply to Mems last Friday. She asked me what plans I have for the night and since I was so busy working on something then, I ended up typing "30" in reference to the most talked about testosterone-pumped movie these days. Her otherwise teasing reply was "30? ano yun?~" (trans: what's that?). So checked the message I sent and realizing that I missed a zero, I replied with that equation *lol*

After 2 failed attempts at it, I was happy to have gone and watched the famous '300' finally. Went with the usual gang last Saturday and almost missed seats for an 8pm viewing coz we were happily posing with Bruce Lee (see him here), Hulk Hogan, a bunch of aliens and a couple of the undead at an outdoor wax exhibit. We just realized that we should have got tics earlier when we came and saw that the only seats available are the ones on the front row and we just grabbed them right away. Worry about going blind as bats later haha.

Sorry about the lengthy prelude when I just wanted to talk about the movie. Isn't that just Dithers-rashii?! hahaha Ok, the movie ---> thanks to my World History in College, I am not new to the world of the Spartans. I have managed to keep some knowledge about Sparta being known for their brave and courageous fighting men (or blood-thirsty, barbaric fools depending on whose point of view we're talkin about). How they have won many wars through their phalanx tactic using their shields to cover from neck to thigh --- the parts that are very vulnerable for hits since they dun have any body shield or body armories to carry around. And how Persia, known to be IRAN of present time is the 'Cradle of Civilization' and once a super power. The movie depicted them all so beautifully.

Story-wise, Id have to say I am very much reminded of Gladiator and Braveheart's theme of scantily-clad men fighting for liberty. Men marching on with their blind faith that they could triumph not with numbers but with camaraderie and brotherhood. Going to a battle where the impossible can be made to happen. Fighting for a common honorable cause. Of course, all of these go with a loooot of gore and bloodshed plus a lil of a romantic angle to complete the brew. What made the big difference to me and Id have to admit that it floored me as most have was the presentation of the movie. The visuals are just too good that each scene could pass for a poster/billboard material. Even King Leonidas'...erm... bonbons staring back at me while he looks at the moon is a sight to behold....in an artistic way I mean. But of course XDDD Each shot of the scenes were thoroughly thought of and carefully art-directed. The whole movie was consistent with the visually stimulating digital imagery and dark subdued hues that somehow left me in a trance. Here are some shots from the movie (credit to thecooler.encblog.com) and note that these are actual scenes and not just stills:

Plus, I won't deny that the men looked good. Very good (^,^) Hell, even the elderlies have well-defined abs there. It's like everyone there alot about 5-7 hours with their abdominizers *lol* and the word 'FAT' is a form of sacrilege for them Spartans. When you dare say it, you will instantly be decapitated or kicked into a death hole hahahaha~

See what I mean?! Deltoids + Pectorals + Biceps + Rectus Abdominises + firm man boobies everywhere!!!!! Sparttttaaaaa KYAAAAAH~ XDDD

I am very much looking forward to seeing the graphic novel by Frank Miller which according to my friend Lowie (he's big on stuff like these and he was lucky enough to get a copy of it thru gf Jenn's generosity---how schwet! XD), has panels which are faithfully copied to the movie:

Atleast, the fans of the graphic novel will not be left disappointed. I have seen the movie once but if anyone wants company to see it, I dun mind seeing it again if only for another dose of eyecandy (^_^)

PS: Astinos and Theodore 'Ted' Logan separated at birth?! Excellent dude! *air guitars* HAHAHA~ *runs away from my Astinos-obsessed friend*

s.o.s

2007-03-16T23:00:00.000+08:00

I wanted to take my time and blog about what's been happening at my end these days (man, they're piling up!) but because I have too much work in my hands right now that Id have to finish before I attempt to sneak off and watch '300' tonight (Aki-chan, you've gone 3x already when I have yet to have my first! Astinos got you bad *rofl*~~~), I'll just share with you the song that best describes what Im feeling *click* --->

DiTHeRs' SONG OF THE MOMENT
NOT BECAUSE I SUPER LIKE IT OR ANYTHING
BUT BECAUSE IT'S JUST IS....

Daremo tasukette!!!!!!! Zubarangeeeer ~

PS: '300' attempt failed (T-T). What do you do with a boss under pressure?! *sigh*~

say aaahh~

2007-03-08T16:05:00.001+08:00

Ok, dun kill me coz I am but possessed by the SCAN MONSTER~ *lol* I dedicate this post to tomodachi Carolyn~ Just so you could squee with me XDDD

KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIII DESHOU?~ This got to be one of Tackey's signature on-cam look ^^ Where have I seen this?! Oh yeah...

Yup, there is no denying, we had our share of this open-mouthed baka pose from clips and scans of before. And even if Tackey doesn't have the perfect set of pearly whites, we love him hogging air like this nonetheless *(^_^)*.

oh! my god! cuties!

2007-03-05T20:50:00.000+08:00

Weekend is over once again. Start of the work week is here and I feel slower than a snail. My weekend has been reduced to just two things--- (1) my fantabulous nephew GIO and (2) my much-awaited TxT Calendar.

Last Saturday, smacked in the middle of gimik places as Makati and Ortigas, I have to rush home when I learned that Gio is coming over by 6pm. I was with my friends having Chinese for almost-dinner and the night was still young.....but what the heck, I HAVE to go home! Im sorry dear friends, I only get to see my nephew once a week and since it's been part of my system to see him on weekends, I could turn crabby this week if my routine be ruined. I know you insisted that I could see him some other day but I dunno, I really want to see him. I also know you wanted me to stay by citing the rain as a reason for me not to go but you know how stubborn I get. I didn't even care if it was raining, I dun carry an umbrella around and I have to fight for my cab home in such a busy place. Actually, I did see him again *teehee* coz he was dropped off at our house the next day. He had to stay with us for the whole day coz mommy is on duty, daddy's at the clinic and yaya is on an emergency. I was surprised that this baby's cry could wake me up at 9am when my own keitai alarm, at it's fullest volume, couldn't (on weekends, Id wake up past noon unless something's up). Of course, plans for Sunday were dropped and my sisters and I became Gio's yaya for the day. We fed him his formula, changed his diapers and rocked him 'til our muscles ache. Gawd, this baby's getting heavier and I wouldn't wonder. At the rate he's taking in all 5 bottles the whole day, man, for a 2-month old, he's a milk monster. Atleast, he is an UBERCUTE milk monster hahaha~ Can't wait to see him next weekend even if he comes at 6am!

Next up ---> it came in an 19" x 14.5" x 4 " carton box. Weighs 1353g. Costs 2000yen. And includes 6 applegreen Japanese papers for packaging... no matter how and where I look at it, all these couldn't possibly amount to 4320yen of shipping rate!!! That's more than the amount of another TxT calendar tsk tsk. But ok, I guess when you see it, all the faint-inducing money matters will fade away...

Don't you just love what they did to the fotobooks' back covers? TxT taking shots of each other. The concept was further reinforced as the pages of the fotobooks were taken by TxT themselves of each other! I say *two thumbs up* here for the concept team ^_^ I also love that duotoned cardboard which binds the fotobooks and the calendar together. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. How Nice! Excellent! Great! Good! Oh! My God! (*lol* see the pause there? like Oh! *pause* My God! *pause* haha) Enjoy~~~ Majorly funny phrases in Japanese fashion yet sooo kawaii with those TxT fotos. It's like it's saying what we, fangals, are saying *lol* I have expected Tackey in his usual baka poses and I wasn't disappointed. He's really the KING OF REACTIONS ne~ v

I know that some have not gotten their hands on these yet so as not to preempt you, Im just gonna post my top fave spread from each fotobook. It's hard to choose which fotos/spreads are the best but I will try...

For MOMENT, Tsuba chose to shoot Tackey in a narrative way. Each foto leads to the next and simple as it may look, there is a story behind them. He also showed Tackey in his ordinary self walking the alleys, eating, talking to the local kouhais and preparing himself as 'THE' Tackey we know. It's like a peek in the life of Tackey when he is not infront of the cameras .... and when he isn't very, very, very busy *lol* Well, atleast that's how I interpret the whole fotobook. This is one of my fave spreads (coz I like them all!)

Somehow, I got to thinking that Tackey would still be like this even without Tsuba's camera. Yup, he'd play retard with that pomelo infront of Tsuba anytime *lol* Come to think of it, pinaglihi ako sa pomelo hmmm.... Look at how he inspects that apple on right-hand page. He looks like a pro on this coz that's how my mom would check on fruits and she's definitely a pro haha tell me, I didn't just compare Tackey to my mom *ROFL*. Anyways, don't let that ringo woman see Tackey holding those apples or she'll demand Tackey to peel them first!!!! XDDD

I also love the fotos wherein he looked like he's reprising his role as DREAMBOY Tackey with a white robe. The shots were blurry but I think that effect was intentional. The spread with Tackey sleeping like an angel *dithers' knees going weak* and chewing on his nails, also the one with him eating at a local shop and making faces with his chopsticks... but I did say, Id post just one spread deshou? It's for everyone to see with their own calendars.

For II VIII III, Tackey opted for drama using desaturated, sepia tones for Tsuba on some shots and a play of shadows, perspective angles and tight shots on others (Skammie, if you meant those tight shots on Tsuba's lower half, do not fear. Tackey's just being artistic... if not yaoi on that hahahaha~ Just think that if Johnny-san took that shot, then Id be really, really afraid y'know but if it were Tackey, it's alright *lol*). Pic shots from a chapel, a wall of graffiti, sands and trees added texture to the pictures and I have to say, Tackey, your digiart skills are good. I didn't expect you could tinker with your Photoshop that way specially with your busy schedule and all but of course, what do you do with 7 computers deshou?! But you never stop surprising me which is just great. Here is one of my fave spreads among others...

Im sorry that I'd have to tamper the photoshop work that Tackey did a bit coz I hate having those binds in the middle of spreads. It kills the drama XDDD I know I did a poor job but the OC me just want to take it out as fast as I could. The reason why I love this spread is because Tsuba has his arms spread wide open against the glittery shore. Looks like he's living up to his namesake ne~ Flap and spread out your wings, WING! I also love the sepia ones which Tackey took from inside the chapel and the ones with the roses. He looked more like a Latino lover in it but again, I only said one spread for each as promised.

The Calendar fotos? Let's just say there are lots of TxT rabu-rabu going on as shown in these outtakes:

Let me see, from L-R top to bottom in yaoi style, we got TxT and their baby on first frame. I think they are going on a second honeymoon or something haha~ As we see, Tackey does all the bag-carrying here coz Princess Tsuba takes care of the bibi *lol* It's like their own version of Nora & Pip's Maria Leonora Teresa hahahahahaha~ On second frame, TxT shopping together. Frame three, KYAAAAAAAHHHH Tackey ude tamagos!!! I think he's out to impress *AHEM* somebody~~~ Next is the TxT date. Tsuba taking precious Kodak moments of papie Tackey *lol*. I wonder what happens after dinner hmmm... XD On frame five, this looks like a scene where Tsuba a.k.a Danny Zuko flirts with Tackey a.k.a Sandy Olsson on 'GREASE' yo! It's sooo summer lovin'~ hehe. Tell me more~ Tell me more~ hehehehe. On the following frame, seems Tackey is showing some billiard moves or was it Tsuba?! I dunno who's trying to impress whom this time. Frame seven, *TICKLE* *TICKLE* Tackey, yes Tsuba knows too well where Tackey gets ticklish and he aims for it. The question is, did they wrestle after??? XDDD Last frame, TackeyTsuba hamming up and ubercute as usual. Aishiteru tze TxT!!!!

Do not worry, there are lots more to see in there. I tried not to post the actual calendar fotos so you guys would be able to squee in glee and in suspense when you get your own copies.

And what an entry huh? To think these are just what I've been busy with for the weekend .... include this Monday too. Busy? *lol*

a day in a life

2007-03-02T19:17:00.000+08:00

They say that imitation is a form of flattery. I don't know if it applies in this case though XDDD

Those crazy fotos have no connection whatsoever to this entry. Im just trying to end the week with a smile. It was a good week for me though I can't say so for the day. It's that time of the month. Two of my very good friends are in discord. I have to fork out $$ for somebody else's carelessness and I've been told that I have very hectic days to prepare for next week. Throw in that Tackey still has a broken nose but to be positive about it, it's healing. Well, that's how life goes. Atleast, it is not all bad. There is still the TxT calendar which Im very excited to oglefest on (prepare for excessive droolage soon). Seeing and sniffing (^,^) my nephew again over the weekend. Trying to get a chance at seeing "Letters from Iwo Jima" if I could while Im in Makati tomorrow. Catch up on 'Heroes' coz I was stuck on episode 14. If only weekends can be stretched to a whole month, life would be such a bliss.

PS: To my friend Anne-chan, 東京にあなたの旅行を楽しみなさい! 幸運な女性!!!!!!!!!! I hope you got that, woman.... if not, time to go over Nihonggo 101 again~~~ And yes please, before you leave XDDD

must watch

2007-02-23T22:55:00.000+08:00

Who isn't familiar with the FAB 5 right?! When they went here in the Phils., the women went crazy as if they are the newest boyband in town. There were even marriage proposals tossed at Kyan (the Grooming Gay) and Jai (the Culture Gay) even if we know very well that heterosexual marriage isn't their thing.

So why am I talking about them now, you may ask. Well, going through youtube, I've come across their Mad TV alter-egos. This clip made me laugh so hard that I was so close to crying. I hope it tickles your fancy too. I'll be taking out the background music for a few days so you guys could enjoy the clip. Dozou.....

Have a nice weekend everyone *muaaacks* ~

PS: What is this I heard that Tackey was forecasted to have a wife who'd come from the same business as his?! Dakara Kathy suggested we make our own group or audition for Morning Musume or something. Ok, let me just adjust my Alto to high pitch Soprano or distort my voicebox *lol*

---> V(^o^)V to Yvonne who's a biiiig fan of MM~

Gio's baptismal rites
+ US relatives' homecoming
+ puppies S.O.S.
+ major project deadline

That's about what kept me from blogging these past few days. There would be times that I'd be tempted to start a new entry but it's either I was sooo tired to do it or I'm rushing out to get somewhere. I'm actually feeling a little sleepy right now but with the time I got on my hands, I might as well maximize them coz there is another project coming up and I may not get this chance again soon....waaaaah!

Anyways, let me just take this chance to say my belated greeting of...

to everyone (coz it seems most of us have a little Chinese blood in our veins with the Chinese population making up about more than one fifth of the world's population now *lol*). I hope that the Buta year will prove to be better for all of us (including those who are Ox or Rabbit-borne which they say could be unlucky). As for me, it says I just have to take that step forward to make it my lucky year and take caution in every major step I embark on. I don't really take Chinese Astrology forecasts THAT seriously but I find these things omoshiroi coz sometimes what I read comes out true *lol* but then I've always believed that you make your own destiny so... f(^.^;)

We just welcomed Gio, my adorable nephew, to Christianhood last weekend and he was in his best behaviour. He did not cry during the ceremony and he probably got tired from being passed around from one person to another for about, let me see hmmm, more than 20 times at the reception haha. Poor baby, passed around so much like a basketball during the last 2 minutes time XD No wonder he is sooo out the rest of his baptismal reception but still this tita won't let him be. I can't help it, he is just toooo cute that I take pictures if not watch him sleep peacefully. These days he's got that hiphop pose of arms crossed each other while he sleeps and I told his other tita that he only has to wear some blingblings to complete the Slim Shady hiphop look hahahaha~ Atashi no oi ga MAJOR KAWAII *pinch* *kiss* *sniff* cute akachan ^^

The relatives from US and Italy came to visit recently. Some have gone back to US, others are still around and one will be staying for work. So it was food binge for me again and it's been a bliss so far. I stuffed myself with seafoods, kaldereta, menudo, kare-kare, dinuguan, pinakbet, crispy pata, pastries, ice cream, fruits etc. Opo, ako po'y isang PG (Patay Gutom) at hindi ko ito ikinahihiya hahahaha~ There is also a lot of MAGIC SING singing that's for sure. I dun know why but my titas and titos think that I got a golden voice so they'd usually ask me to sing for them when they visit. Ok, ok, I just won this one singing contest in a town fiesta when I was really, really young but that doesn't mean we have a prized singer in our midst yo! So Im hoping next time they come, the pressure of me singing else they won't leave the place 'til I do will be lifted. I hope they'd be happy with just one 'Bah-bah Black Sheep' and no requests allowed *lol* Goodness, one tita didn't know what she is actually asking for... she asked me to sing Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On'!!! Was tempted to ask her, "Auntie, you're not asking for the 11th plague are you???!" *ROFL* Anyways, it was fun to have them around. I think my cousins will be back here November and looks to me that they have "PARRRTTTY!!!" in mind. We'll see...

Nope, I wasn't trying to reenact scenes from 'Grey's Anatomy' but I was playing Dr. Dithers for our house pets for these past days. We originally have 6 puppies from our dogs Maki and Sashi but due to unfortunate events, 2 of them are now in doggie heaven. One went towards the light at birth while the other just succumbed to liver infection. I remember leaving the house the morning and saw that recent one (which we shall call 'Puppy' since we haven't named them all yet. Basically, they are all called 'Puppy' right now except one.) wobbling his way around. I thought at first that his feet got numb from resting that he walked like a drunken master but when I called in the afternoon to get some infos I needed for work, my bro was in the car driving back home. He told me he's on his way back from rushing 'Puppy' to the vet coz well, he got really, really, really sick. My heart just broke when he said that 'Puppy' was already in doggie heaven. I was really sad for the rest of the afternoon and I really felt bad for 'Puppy'. Moreso that I carried and patted him before I left that same morning. I had no idea that he was that sick. That's why when 'Puppy2' started showing signs of the same illness last week, I just knew we'd have to save him. To make the long story shorter (coz you very well know that it could get longer *lol*), I stayed and nursed him with medicines from the vet even when he almost flat-lined on me. There was one night that he really lay there lifeless and you know that he really is 'going'. It was a scary sight but I really held on to him and kept talking to him. I kept telling 'Puppy2' to fight whatever it is coz the medicines won't work if the spirit is low as if he'd really understand. I have been keeping watch without much sleep for consecutive nights because when he starts to cry, I have to rub his tummy with oils to ease the pain. My aim was to make him eat doggie food so he'd have enough strength to fight the sickness but since he wasn't eating and getting weaker by the day, we have to give him oral dextrose which I'd have to administer round the clock or he'd be dehydrated. It was just yesterday morning when he began walking again and man, he EATS like a hog! Yatta ne~ Hontou ni, major kiseki desu ^^ Now, 2 of the other pups are getting a bit sickly and I know that it's not really a reason to celebrate but somehow Im positive that we can hurdle this coz it's been done to something that went 80-20 (at that rate, it's not just 50-50) before. I just hope that 'Puppy3' and 'Puppy4' can be as cooperative as 'Puppy2' coz if not, we'd have to take it the hard way *cracks knuckles* By the way, we now call 'Puppy2' BOOM or BOOMBOOM courtesy of my sister. She was rubbing 'Puppy2's tummy one night while he laid on a newspaper and she saw the headline which reads "BOOM in Asia ...." (^_^) I've been calling him Boomboom since but he snubs me and walks away (ingrate! *lol*) but when I stand around, he comes to me and lays on my feet awwww~

Should I start talking about work now?! 私は好まない。今、それは退屈している hehehehehehe...erm...seriously, its a HEH! XDDD *clears throat*

Btw, anyone seen TxT on Music Station last weekend? I knew that Takuya Kimura would be on it but on the date, my friend Sann SMS-ed me and told me TxT were performing. SMAP, Tokio and Arashi were on it too. Is this one recent or was it a replay of an MS special from before??? Why dun I have Animax Channel on my cable??? I've always thought that I do and on moments like this when I need it most, I discover that I have none. WWWHHHY? (T-T)

Yoooosha, that was a mouthful. Time to get ready for work. GANBARIMASU!!!! (^_^)/

ho-hum

DEFINITELY one valentine card you wouldn't really want to get *rofl*

Nope, I am not a Valentine Scrooge. I just don't like the idea of everyone capitalizing on this one day and pretend that everything is suddenly so perfect and rosy (figuritively and literally). Imagine roses being sold triple their prices and couples going gooey on each other everywhere I set my eyes on. It's too syrup-y sweet and cliche-ish, I feel the hair at the back of my neck rising. But you know, if it works for others, well good for them. Id rather have my valentines away from the city and with a little more creativity than just a bunch of those jacked-up priced bouquets. Nevertheless, Id be greeting everyone here a *HAPPY V-DAY! \(^3^)/* Hoping you keep the love alive not just within the day and reminding everyone that love doesn't just come in chocolates and roses~

*STREEEETCH* Ahhhhhhhh, I love weekends~ I woke up at 1pm and it doesn't matter at all. Little perks I look forward to at the end of my week (^___^)

Anyways, I have been tagged by AKI to play this meme. But first a few words *lol* When I was younger, I have kept a list of my celebrity crushes on a piece of paper. I remember that I've updated this list everytime I get to see any crushable material on tv so you could imagine how looong that list went haha. Too bad, it could have come handy on instances like this but I have lost it so Im just gonna list the recent ones fresh from my memory.

So on with the meme. From least to best liked and why:

10 - Jim Caviezel
It was watching 'The Count of Monte Cristo' that I discovered the guy.
The book was a favorite so I looked forward to seeing the movie
and I wasn't disappointed. I *heart* the Count so goes to say,
I *heart* Jesus ('The Passion of Christ') too?! *thunder* ^^

9 - Ed Norton
Despite the tweaky voice, I just love his acting.
'Fight Club' is one of my favorite movies
and it wasn't because of Brad Pitt.

8 - Diego Luna
After 'Y Tu Mama Tambien', I knew that Im looking at one hot tamales
and my friend Mel agrees with me. Most people I know loved Gael
but Im sticking with this one. Thanks Mel for the pic and
thanks for the servings (^_~)

7 - Joo Ji Hoon
When I was 'Goong'-ed, I was JJH-ed too. I know that when you look at him,
he's no different from the typical Korean man (in showbiz) --- tall, fair and
chinky-eyed. I guess watching the series made a difference and Im sure my
bestfriend would confirm that coz now, she's drooling over him more
than I do and I would take the responsibility for that *lol*

6 - Keanu Reeves
I probably am one of the those who know that he plays bass in a band (Dog Star).
That he played hockey in high school and was even voted MVP. And he is
afraid of the dark. Even if they think his acting is 'duh', I still like him
anyway and I don't even know why.

5 - Takuya Kimura
Who does not know him? I could almost equate his name to Japan *lol* Seriously,
next to Tackey, I have most of his series and my fave would be his portrayals in
'Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi', 'Hero' and 'Engine'. I loved his
looks on 'Goodluck!' though.

4 - Jerry Yan
As what Jen would often say, "Blame it all to Jerry Yan!!!
Blame it all to 'Meteor Garden'!!!" Enough said hahaha

3 - Bi
One proof that you can never say never. Erly and I used to not like him. We
even joked around about why people go ga-ga over him coz you have to
admit that when you haven't seen any of his series or watch any of his
shows, he won't strike you instantly. But after watching 'Fullhouse',
Erly and I, we kinda ...... ermm ....... swallowed our pride and
"ooohhh aaahhh"-ed, "iiiissshhhh-aaahhhh"-ed for Bi hehehe

2 - Tsubasa Imai
He is one of the two bokes I soooo love. To be honest, he slowly crept on to me
only in my 2nd year in the fandom. Now, I appreciate him more coz it is hard
not to like him when you see him in motion. He deserves to be included on
the best dancers list in Johnnys history. I just love his sexy fluid dancing,
his singing and his baka ways. Moreso when he is with.....

1 - Takizawa Hideaki

Ooops, sorry, that was unintentional *lol* You guys wouldn't be too surprised no?!
I just have one thing to say which summarizes my feelings for this guy.
This just came up to me when I made a recent banner---
how can something unreciprocated and unrealized
feel sooo wonderful?!?!
Of course Im talking about it in a personal level
I would have to say that my fangirling may end with Tackey
coz I couldn't imagine myself getting THIS crazy for
another celebrity in the future.

There you go, my list of top 10 celebrity crushes which just divulged to you my weaknesses for dark-haired, bedimpled, brooding, crazy men who are most of the time Asians *lol*

Now Im tagging MEL, ANNERUTH, SNUFFLES, SHUTAKKY and TREY to do the meme at your own free time and here's the mechanics:

1. List your top 10 celebrity crushes.
2. Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them
(10 to 1, 1 being your number one fixation)
3. Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
4. Supply photos for each
5. Tag five others

Let's get it on, girls (^_^) ~

PS: AKI-chan, おめでとう!!! がんばってね！So I read ~

cold versus warm

2007-02-06T07:16:00.000+08:00

18 degrees --- BRRRRRRRRRRRR~ I know in some parts of the globe, the temperature can go below zero but for literally warm-blooded Filipinos, it's already like having a taste of Antartica *lol* Heard that in Baguio, it's 9 degrees already?! Man, I imagine that somewhere out there, there is a Jim Carrey and a Jeff Daniels riding the bike and freezing cold like they did on 'Dumb and Dumber' movie. You get the picture ---- frozen fingers + frozen brows + frozen blown hair + frozen sweats + even, frozen nosedrips XDDD Anyways, I have been sleeping (except last night which explains this early morning post) under thick comforters dressed in really warm clothes but still, samuiiiii~ Well, let me hide under these sheets while I come up with schemes that could move my friend ANNE-chan to say yes.

Anne, whatever it is, secret lang natin kaya dun mention it here. These things stay in email and keitai inboxes (^_~)....and Id assume you are back there to your lovely island after your expensive weekend getaway, woman *lol* Remember, meeting at 9am wehehehehe

I saw this link by Sarah Ann in Bon-chan's tagboard and I just have to post it. We know that laughter keeps us warm and Im needing it badly right now. This one vid has Masi Oka, mine and Sarah Ann's fave hero on 'HEROES' who happens to be named well, HIRO (Nakamura) on it too. What a coincidence! *ROFL* This was cut from 'THE JAMIE KENNEDY EXPERIMENT' and its really a laugh trip. Don't think that just because this is a US show, I'd spare you of some Japanese. No, no, no~~~

I only discovered 'THE JAMIE KENNEDY EXPERIMENT' very recently during one of my channel-surfing late nights and maybe it was my flawed sense of humor that made me like it. But it could also be that Jamie Kennedy dressed up like a real Backstreet Boy so convincingly, it gave me sidestitches. Imagine him stealing the glory and recognition from an unknowing famous-boyband-member-wannabe in a middle of getting a gig that could very well be the break he's been waiting all his life. With a fake big label producer + 2 ex-MENUDO members on the panel, somehow I feel sorry for the guy. He seem to be the main man in the group but Jamie claimed to the fake press that he is like JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE to NSync *lol* Worse smack would be when his own band members decided to keep Backstreet Boy Jamie in the group and took famous-boyband-member-wannabe out. Ah poor boyband-member-wannabe. I don't ever want to be in his place and get X-ed. Im not a good sport when it comes to these things and I might just throw a tantrum. But Id recommend 'THE JAMIE KENNEDY EXPERIMENT' coz it's funny and it'll keep you warm on cold, cold nights XDDD

Yup, I see my future and it's not very bright and promising *ROFL* If only I could fly or atleast bend & stop time then teleport, that'll be cool. I could be where Tackey is and do the recordings myself so I wouldn't buy all these. I could even take shots of him in his very privy moments (like him passing out when he's drunk or him sleeping with his mouth open *lol* or him fresh from the showers *wheeeeeeee*). Really privy moments we dun get to see. Just *click* *click* *click* away til my fingers get numb and when I get caught, Id just look like Im doing No.2 (like how Hiro would hahaha) and teleport back here in the Philippines safe and sound. AAAAAaaaahhh, too much watching HEROES. Baaaad! XDDD

PS: Sunshine have another place she thinks Id be best to teleport to if I were a girl HIRO and even if it is a very happy place that Id even call it my 'eutopia' SHINE, Im still claustrophobic and uhhh, I want to keep my sanity so dame!!! No way I'd survive inside Tackey's pants!

Tackey + Andy Warhol = Mel's masterpiece

I just love it when my friends get out of their way to come up with something creative with me in mind hehehe I also love it when my interest for you-know-who is mixed with my other interests --- POP ART for this particular instance. Thanks very much MEL! <333

I just love my friends, quirks and all (^____^).... *dithers on a little high*

hair talk

2007-01-25T15:12:00.000+08:00

It is because I have been staring at this pic so much lately that I have another Tackey dream. In my dream, Tackey and I were on a date. Whoooopeee! Like finally hahaha~ BUT in my dream, even if Tackey wore the pants and I wore the dress, people still got confused on who's the woman. They say, "HELLO M'AM!" to Tackey and "HELLO SIR!" to me. WTH!!!!!!! Yeah, MAJOR HARHAR! In reality, if by some stroke of luck or God's miracle this would happen, I really wouldn't mind it at all. Maybe because the fangal emotion, as shallow as they seem to be, it is still very strong as to make other matters NOT matter. On the contrary, for some reason, I was truly bothered and ok, I will admit, got a little insecure in my dream which I'm now finding funny. Dakara, let me see that new haircut now TACKEY! I want to see your new, hopefully shorter than mine or atleast, more spiky or boyish haircut to put my mind at ease *lol*

Speaking of which, I just got back from losing a few inches off my hair. Tried out this new (to me) salon at Emerald Avenue as recommended by two of my friends. I was supposed to go ask for a particular Gilbert, the stylist who did the cuts on my friends but got an Agatha instead. When I turned up, Gilbert was just starting on this matronish client for a full hair and make-up do so since Im hurrying to get back to the office, I settled for Agatha. Jen just told me now that he owns the place. Ummm....whoopeee?! *evil*

I was sporting a long, sometimes wavy, sometimes straight hair since October of 2005 so for a change, I wanted to go a little Jrock-ish. I even brought my peg --->

Nice right?! Turns out, this cut still falls under the unattainable cuts in the local salons which I, soon after, discovered for myself. After Agatha *snip* *snip* *snip* my precious hair, I ended up with a hair like Tackey's. Ok, before you congratulate me, see pic below --->

YES, it's a little like Tackey's alright----Tackey circa '8-jida J' days yo!!!! That's almost a decade already!!! (>,<) I can sure make friends with the new set of Johnnys Juniors with this hair tsk tsk tsk Good thing, my hair grows pretty fast and I can get a new hairstyle in 2 months! tsk tsk tsk Maybe my dream meant to warn me about something. Maybe it wanted to tell me that I should wait for Gilbert to do my hair coz with Agatha's cut, I did look like a guy (fortunately, it's just the hair) next to Tackey on that pic at the start of this entry. Ah, I should have known better but too late for regrets. Hair can always grow back and I need my positive energies tomorrow (^_~)

counterbalance act

2007-01-22T17:29:00.000+08:00

To counter all the vices I have mentioned on my previous entry, I decided to do some fat burning last Friday night. Ok, you can call it a little excuse to justify the food binge but still, I think I've successfully burned some fat haha~

Jen was first to go and then Connie and finally, me. I was already happy being the belayer for the night but well, I really dun want to build up all the arm muscles ala Arnold Schwarzeneger belaying for the others and I didn't pay just to belay so I decided to go up against the wall. The beginner's wall is quite ok. As long as you dont get to look down. I have a little altophobia (fear of heights) specially when I look straight down so I decided to just talk to the wall the whole time XDDD When I was able to finish, we moved on to the intermediate level. This time the holds are a little far apart and some are just smaller than usual. I was sweating the whole time (sayonara fat and cholesterol!!! ^^) coz Id have to analyze my steps but midway, I was already asking my belayer to bring me down coz I feel like Im losin' my grip bit by bit. But noooo my belayer Jen (the very same friend I've been so nice as to give that JJH pix to), was still having the time of her life pulling me further up (-_-;) and with Mari's prodding for me to move on higher, I was left with no choice but to climb or Id be embarrassed dangling mid-air. I dun know if that is a good thing that the belayer doesn't listen to her climber but then, I was able to reach the top (next to the cute Victor Consunji at that haha~) *clap sound effects*. Was able to climb the beginner and intermediate walls twice each and did a traverse learning to twist my body close to the wall as to get to the next hold and the next *sweats*

Next goal, the DIFFICULT wall --->

Made an attempt like Jen did on this but only reached up to the 5th row--- as you can see, that is almost halfway to the top *dithers gloats* Not bad for a first-timer ne~~~ Now, could someone pass me the Salonpas please?! My joints are aching. Onegai XDDD

I've always been told that I should be eating since I really look like I need it and due to my usual bouts of insomnia, 10 to 13 hours of straight sleep is always welcome. So there, I have very good and legit excuses....Oh I'd be damned, isn't LUST (for Tackey) also one of them seven sins??? YIKES! Little Nicky would have a welcoming committee on my arrival ... anouuu, I dun think RED is my color ... ummm ... I really dun look good with horns ... ehehehe....

bf crushin on JJH

2007-01-10T15:27:00.000+08:00

That's BestFriend not BoyFriend btw so dun flip yet XDDD My bestfriend was telling me about this very nice dream she had over lunch today. I knew it was THAT nice, she can't wait to tell it to me over lunch. She told me that I was part of her dream and she woke up this morning feeling really happy. So I asked her what the dream was about. The following conversation commenced while we chow on bbq:

SHE: Ang ganda ng panaginip ko kagabi. Nandun ka.
(TRANS: I had a wonderful dream last night and you were there...)
ME: Oh really? Pray tell....
SHE: We are in a hotel and then we saw these 2 guys walkin'.
(At this point, I already have a hint on where this dream is going specially that she's come around fangal giddy mode after watching and rewatching 'GOONG' and oh how she gushes over JJH *lol*)
ME: What are we doing in the hotel??? I bet one of the guys is Joo Ji-Hoon no?!
SHE: Ah oo. Medyo blur na pero I remember that it was Joo Ji-Hoon walking with Kim Rae W....
ME: KIM RAE WON???? What is he doing in your dream??? Oh dun tell me...
SHE: Actually, you approached them and asked them for a photo op with us. Surprisingly, there weren't anybody around and they were just walkin around like normal guys. JJH was actually surprised that we know them so he obliged very willingly. He's a lil playful pa nga.
ME: Ah ganun?!
(TRANS: Really?!)
SHE: Oo, tapos nung nagpipictorial tayo, JJH suddenly leaned his head on me and sobra akong kinikilig. Nagpapa-cute pa siya.
(TRANS: Yes, and during the pictorial, JJH suddenly leaned his head on me and I was gushin' inside. He was even making errrmmm...pa-cute hahaha (-_-;))
ME (a lil jealous coz I like JJH too): So where was I while this is happening?
SHE: Ah kasama mo si Kim Rae Won at para ka ring kinikilig sa kanya. Parang double date nga eh. Para tayong 2 couples who's having a normal double date.
(TRANS: You were with Kim Rae Won and you were also gushin' over him. It's like we're in a double date. 2 couples in a normal double date.)
ME: @#!&*^%$#(*&^!!!!! Bakit si Kim Rae Won pa?! Si Tackey na lang sana para mas masaya no. Namaaaan, panaginip na lang, di pa si Tackey. Next time si Tackey naman ang panaginipan mo para kinikilig din ako no. Ano ba yan?! Ang daya....
(TRANS: @#!&*^%$#(*&^!!!!! Of all people, why Kim Rae Won?! It should have been Tackey. Myyy gazzz, even in dreams, Im still not with Tackey. Next time, dream of Tackey and me together ok so Id be gushin for real too. What the &*^%$#, I feel so cheated.)
SHE: . . . *awkward silence*
ME: So what happened next?
SHE: Well, in my dream, you were very happy for me and JJH...
ME: HA! In reality I won't be *devil horns* I will only be happy for you if I am with Tackey in your dream :p :p :p
SHE:. . . *awkward silence*
ME: Then?
SHE: Then my bro woke me up. When I opened my eyes I told him, "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO WAKE ME UP?!"
ME: HEHEHEHEHE~ *evil sinister laugh* Next time, Tackey & me ok?! I guarantee you a longer sleep (^.^)

Once again, I've brought my bestfriend back to 'my' world (fangirling) *lol* And I just know how to do it hehe~ So I will be giving this foto to her in a while and watch her gush like I always do with Tackey. I promise to keep mum with the boyfriend (^,^)...

sweeeeet~

2007-01-09T15:55:00.000+08:00

I was lingering at home this morning feeling lazy. I am very much aware that I am, once again, late for work but because of my bestfriend's incessant reminder to bring the 'GOONG' cds to work today, I cant help but view some episodes I liked. So there I was going over Episode 17, the part where Chagyeung was getting cramps staying in the lil closet while Shin Goon showers knowing he's got the room all for himself. I have to say this part is a major *ROFL* but then I heard the dogs getting excited. I peeped through the windows to see somebody on a motorbike parked infront of our gate. The man was sitting on the bike for some time as I watch and then suddenly he got off and I caught a glimpse of a big envelope. I JUST KNEW WHAT THAT IS and I find myself skipping my way to the door with the happiest grin. I decided to wait for the postman to call out first before I came out. I dun want him to think I was one over-eager bunny or a psychic for that matter. I smiled and said, "Good morning!~~~" and "Hello pooo~~~" and I have to tell yah, I have never had a day when I was this nice to a postman *lol* coz I am out most of the time and I dun get to receive the mails myself or when I do receive the mails, Im fresh from my sleep so I have the '*squint* who-you?' look on. And so he handed the package to my giddy hands as he looked for this piece of paper where I'd have to sign my name and because of my overflowin excitement as well as my uncontainable fangirl glee, I even ended my signature with a *dokidoki* heart which is not usual. I just hope the postman didn't take that heart to be a sign of anything directed at him coz when he left, he kinda gave me this weird smile.....NYAH! Anyways, took me a while to open the envelope. You know the feeling when you are soooo excited over something but you dun want to spoil it too soon. But after a few minutes, I think I really have to open it as it dawned on me that I have to be at Teriyaki Boy by 12nn since I have a lunchdate with my friends. And so, I opened the envelope carefully and found myself starin' at TxT 2u4u con goods for another 'few' minutes. I gasped (the good kind) at the 2u4u con pamphlet. It was sooo beautiful moreso, when you look in the inside pages. I played a little with the penlight which I initially wasn't plannin to get but changed my mind on the last minute. Look at all the other TxT goodies as well (^__^). STILL, NOTHING BEATS HOLDIN' TxT GOODIES IN MY HANDS ON A FINE MORNING to MAKE MY DAY. The happiness is indescribable, my friends would attest. They say I glow like I'm in love or something......... ah a fangal in love hahaha~

To my benefactor マウ, as always, sankyuuuuu~ *CHU* Thanks for tossin' in those 'extras' too. Now, Id familiarize myself with the new jrs hahahaha~ And since we're in a *grab* mode there, next time you see Tackey, grab him for us *lol* Will def be emailing you soon. Love the stationery. Love the handwriting (with cold fingers and all is still waaaaay better than mine (^.^) ). Love everything (^__^)/ Who knows, PROJECT HANABI can still come true~~~

bi no sekai

2007-01-06T02:33:00.000+08:00

WHAT CAN I SAY?! I love military fashion. I love winged angels. And I love heavenly bodies *lol* (note the Apollo's belt there tanned and oiled just right ahahaaaay~ XDDD).

When Ateng mentioned that he has been seeing Bi on MTV channel for the past days in a particular military-themed pv, I just knew that I'd have to see it myself. I've not denied the fact that I like Bi and I know that he is one of the most talented Korean artists around. I like the quality of his voice and I am happy that he's getting bigger even outside Asia. So since I have kept missing out on that pv (which I now found out to be the 'Im Coming' pv) even if Ateng had seen it for so many times already as he claimed, Im camping infront of the tv tonight waiting for MTV to show it. They should since I just learned that he is the Artist of the Month this January. And not to take any chances missing it again tonight, I am also waiting for the full pv to download on streaming at youtube. Whichever comes first. Hopefully, for the next hour or so, Id be able to see it in full.

In the meantime, an idea just popped in my mind. I was thinking why can't TxT do any themed pvs like Tackey and Tsubasa playing devilish angels?! You know, winged and all but mischievous, naughty angels. Or Tackey could play angel while Tsuba plays the lil devil always teasing angel Tackey to sin *lol* (or vice versa). It could have been truly priceless. I think AVEX should really get the creative dept working on fresh concepts for future TxT pvs. We can't always have TxT singing in different colored suits everytime...etou...actually, we can (as for TxT, we always CAN *lol*) but it would be nice to see TxT in a more conceptualized pv the next time.

Ok, I think I'll have to go watch that pv now since it downloaded fast. I miscalculated by a difference of 45 minutes. Well, I didn't say I was a math genius anyway :p OYASUMI!

2007-01-05T19:36:00.000+08:00

And just like that, the 2006 holidays passed tsk tsk tsk very bad doggie (otherwise known as MY REALITY *lol*). First entry for 2007 and initially, I thought of having a trip back memory lane of 2006 by going over what I consider highlights of my year but in Mid-JUNE (coz I'm doing it monthly), I erased everything and opted to not test my failing memory to continue with the rest of the entry coz I'm having my first headache of the year right now so Im just keeping this simple.

Like the years that passed, this year had been a mix of good and bad things altogether. Lots of lessons to learn from. Lots of reasons to smile about. Lots of good friends to share good times with. Great inspirations. So this time, I am just gonna wish for this year to have a better (if not great) vibe to it and may it bring in more happiness and luck to us all. Ok, if I would have selfish wishes for this year that I could ask for, that would be (1) for my family and friends to stay healthy and be away from harm always; (2) for better and greater opportunities to come my way; and (3) secret~~~ I'd keep it to myself so I will not pre-empt anything XD Oh and (4) world peace coz it never happens. Just being the optimistic wisher that I am (^.^)

Well, here's a good year to all of us. Let's take everything in a stride like the world is one giant amusement park (^___^) so welcome 2007!!! Hoooraaahhh!!!

PS: My sister turns 19 today. I wish she could come and see ~~the pyrolympics with me tonight but it's a little far~~ a movie with me and my friends tonight but she seem rather tired herself...

our bebe gio...tadah!

2006-12-29T18:20:00.000+08:00

Meet our little bundle of joy, our ki.se.ki, our angel, the apple of our eyes, the little munchkin who's gonna make every heart turn to jello---Angelo Miguel a.k.a. GIO. My first-ever nephew and he was born December 27 at 5 (freakin') AM.

Like every first time aunt would say, HE IS JUST PERFECT. He's got most of his good looks from his father but (I think) the eyes are my sister's. And I was thanking that atleast, he's got something from our side *WHEW* Nope, dun worry, he wasn't born with knitted brows *lol* This picture was taken when he just woke up and the digicam was sitting beside him. Young as he is, I think he's giving us, Aunt Paparazzis, the evil stare already. Oh MAJOR KAWAII! (or should I be saying "kowaii!!!!" for the lil man's ego boost?! haha) XD And this little man's got strong grip and kick. When the nurse brought him in, he was sleeping soundly but his right foot was out of the blankie and was raised up like he's about to do a Beckham in his lil baby dream XDDD This aunt can only squee in pure delight----choooouuuu cute. I was able to carry him in my arms (finally) when my sis have to go to the bathroom. He just looked at me and fell asleep. He didn't even cry or poop the whole time he was with me so I'd take that as a sign that he is liking me already hahahahaha~

To my dearest nephew GIO, welcome to the world. You really are a miracle. Thank you for coming into our lives and thank you very much for the ten of thousands-to-the-hundredth-power x 1000000000000 joys you bring...

PS: I realized that I really dun have the heart to go through a newborn screen test. Not that I'll faint at the sight of blood or anything like that but to hear a newborn cry like he's gasping for air makes me want to *flapjack* the doctor doing the procedure (oooh how violent can I get?! XD) To think that my own sister probably does that when she is on duty.....well, just dun let me catch you sis! As if! hahahahaha~

christmas time

2006-12-22T14:02:00.000+08:00

According to my calendar (or anyone's calendar for that matter), it's just 3 days to Christmas, 10 days to New Year's. Technically, it's 2 for Christmas since it's gonna be Christmas eve by the 24th and 9 for New Year's coz we light up all the freakin' firecrackers on 31st's eve. Ok, so what's with all the math?! I just want to say.... WHERE HAVE ALL THE 365 DAYS (or right now, 355 XD) GONE?!?! I remember back in 2005 verge of 2006 when I started listing my must-do things and Im ashamed to say, I haven't really accomplished much. And now, it's gonna be 2007?!?! Have to come up with another must-do list with a still previous unfinished one tsk tsk. I have a theory that maybe as we grow older, our years go faster until we're 60 or something when things go retro and slows down a bit. Actually, any truth to that, would be really scary. Like I don't want to live my life in a blink. So maybe 2007, I will be up to doing more things. More things that I really like to do for myself so watch out XDDD

To my family and friends, as I always say, thank you with all my heart for everything when everything are the things that make my life worth living (NAKS!).

To everyone, live life with little or no regrets at all. Life is not always perfect even to the people who have it all (NAKS! part2 haha).

To my boylets, stay hot and baka just the way I like it *RAAAWR* hahahaha~

To myself, do not make the coming year go without a bang XDDD

So time for my TxT holiday cheer...

Have a TACKEYLICIOUS and TSUBARRIFIC holidays!!!
(too bad that they are skipping ero this Christmas time hahahahaha~)

12gatsu no hanas

2006-12-19T18:11:00.000+08:00

I know of two ladies who have just decided to take that big leap this month and Im not talking about suicidal women here (but it could as well mean the same for the non-committal ones) hahaha~

First is our stylist friend Kat's wedding. I have known Kat from our usual shoots and she is one of the very nice stylists around. She has the patience and tenacity to go through one of our painstaking shoots this year and although she may wanna puke over 'R' stuff like we all do, she still managed to smile and kept going. Not that we have a choice but it was nice to have her on the team for that. It somehow makes an obviously hard task less hard.

Im just sorry that I missed the wedding and reception. I was supposed to go with my friends from work but late last week, I started itching and getting the red spots at my back. Oh no, allergies---NOT AGAIN! So it's Iterax and Dermovate over Kat's wedding tsk tsk. Anyways, I know that she and the hubby would be moving to London soon and settle there. I wish them very, very, very well on this fresh start of their happy life together. I know something promising awaits them both there.

The second 'December Flower' (as we, Tackey fangals call now *lol*) is a family friend. V is about my younger sister's age and our dads are classmates in College (or was it in law school?). I really am not that close to her but we are both graduates of the same Alma Mater like my other sisters. My parents and my younger sister went to attend the wedding and I heard that V's otouto wept a lil. A highschool boy wept for his older sister on her wedding---a little touched but partially, weirded out *lol* I guess he's just gonna miss his one and only sister, one of his two already married siblings who's gonna have to move out too and knowing how sensitive the otouto is, I'm not that really surprise by his public display of emotion. It seems they are really close. So like her bro, I also wish V and her husband well.

I read in some statistics report that in the Philippines, contradictory to popular notion, it's not really the month of June when most weddings take place. It is actually on December. So Tackey's song '12gatsu no Hana' (December Flower) would really fit into the Philippine setting then (^____^)

Oh sorry for sidetracking to Tackey again but it's really hard not to. How can I when my friend Kat's new surname is ERO and I kept calling V by VENIS and not her actual name which is VENUS. Can you blame me?! Can you really?! wehehehe~

fangal ai

2006-12-19T16:42:00.000+08:00

Yup, he was here. I happen to have a friend who went to the presscon launch of THE FACESHOP, a brand which KSW endorses locally. My friend must have ogled at him while he sat across her answering press questions for a good hour more or less. I was so sure how hard it must be for her to contain herself when she's been harboring a crush on KSW since 2004 (or earlier?). Of course, she can't go fangirl mode as she was in on that presscon as a professional member of the press. No excited waving to KSW. No giggly exhibitions. No taking pictures beside him with the famous *peace* sign. No chanting of KSW's name in fangirl fashion. No "KSW, saranghaeyo!!!". And definitely, NO SNATCHING OFF KSW's USED TISSUES/STRAW FOR SOUVENIRS *lol* The only evidence of her KSW fanatic streak would be the huge, wide grin she had while another friend took a picture of her with a good view of KSW sitting at the back. It implicitly reads, "MY GAAAAWWWD! Somebody pinch me!" XD XD XD Now, if it were me in her place and Tackey in KSW's, I'd be shooting *dokidoki* flying kisses across him until he gets distracted and call for the guards hahahahahaha~ Seriously, I would probably do the same as my friend's. If my eyes pop out from holding in too much giddiness and euphoria, it's undoubtedly Tackey's fault! XD

Speaking of which, TxT's got 2 concert days to go before National con tour preparation starts again. To the girls who are going, you are all very lucky! Aside from the very, very nice con merchs, imagine 30 + encores on the setlist!!! And that is for one con only. They do 2 cons per day! Goodness, that's about 60+ song performances a day yo! If I didn't know how much TxT love their fans and all, I'd say they have a death wish or something! (^_^)V The consolation would be that, with the wintercons over by the end of the year, they won't have to kill themselves in rehearsals again for the National tour in February and March except for some probable minor changes on the setlist. Atleast, they won't have to start from scratch.

\(^o^) GA-GA-GANBAROU!!! (^o^)/

dokidoki over tokidoki

2006-12-19T15:45:00.000+08:00

tokidoki, which means 'sometimes' in Japanese, is a brand by Italian artist Simone Legno with partners Pooneh Mohajer Arnold and Ivan Arnold released by LeSportsac. It is just funny that none of the designers is Japanese considering how the bags look very Japanese. From the colorful prints, vibrant colors to the kawaii icons and styles---they are just too cute to have. Honestly, I haven't heard this brand until I saw tokidoki imitations at St. Francis Square last weekend. I was so amused that after getting myself one, I just knew that I'd have to get more. My friend Erly said that there were tokidoki originals at Rustan's. Maybe I'd go check it out after the holidays. Going there around this time would be triple torture: one, from the traffic; two, from the crowd; and three, from spending any more okane when I still have about 10 people on my xmas list who I have to shop for. Aside from the fact that tokidoki originals ain't cheap here.

I just realized how ebiiiiil, ebiiiil, very ebiiiil shopper I was coz at the end of my shopping day, I end up buying more stuff for myself than for the ones on my list. No wonder it's taking me a long time to finish my 'xmas mission'. Looks like I'm coming down with yet another bad habit so God help me.... teehee XD

HINDI KO NA KAYAAAA!!!! CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!

This song popularized from a local daily noontime show is haunting me everywhere!!! It's worse than the 'Macarena' fever. Aside from the fact that I get to hear it everywhere and even almost everyday in a very annoying way (man, they even did a 2u4u 'Yume Monogatari', coming out with a xmas version too huhuhu~), I also am not a big fan of the show especially that one time that I got to see it and saw this guy with crutches (!!!) trying hard to do the famous dance steps just to get into a game. I was gettin a lil sick to my stomach, really. I know that the Philippines belong to the third world but to actually see desperation to that extent, *pukes*. Call me insensitive, a killjoy, or even a person suffering from APD but to behold something as preposterous, I feel somewhat sorry for my kinsmen...

Or baka lang talaga na I am not a big fan of novelty songs. Siguro yun na nga yun coz I always find my patience running short whenever I hear songs as 'Basketbol', 'Jumbo Hotdog' and the likes. Majority may find the double-meaning lyrics amusing but I really don't. You'd find me rolling my eyes to whites. Sorry, I can't help it.

a moment of weakness

2006-12-08T17:35:00.000+08:00

A little girl talk inside the company car on a way to a shoot which comprised of two male models showing steps 1-2-3 on how to topple an attacker/opponent. Our models, as I was told, were real martial artists.

DiTHeRs: *sigh* I hope our models are drool-worthy so this shoot would be worth it. Have you met them? to our E.A.
E.A.: I just know one of them. I haven't seen the other guy.
M.E.: So is that guy you know cute? Para naman may paglawayan tayo *lol*....
DiTHeRs: Yeah, is he?
E.A.: Umm, he's an ex of a friend (as you can see, she didn't answer the question haha)
DiTHeRs: Oooh.

When we arrived at the studio, we're lil disappointed to find no model has arrived yet when we were already late for the call time ourselves *DiTHeRs thinking to self that this better be worth it* We are already 30-45mins delayed for this shoot and I dun plan to stay 'til midnight for this. After reading and scanning through two magazines, chatting with the studio employees, walking around, eyeing the pizza and mojos, and just simply loitering on the couch, our models arrived. Wasn't really very interested at first coz I've grown a bit weary demo VOILA!!! DiTHeRS turned to *hearteyes* at the sight of the other guy hahaha~ Turns out the other guy is a hottie and watching him carry and topple the first guy *hearteyes* *drools* *hearteyes*. One thing I realized about myself on this incident (see, you get to discover more about yourself every day XDDD) is that I will snob you when I kinda like you (but if I dun like you at all, you will not get any reaction from me that's for sure *lol*). I kept talking to the first guy even if the other hottie kept answering. I can't even call his name for instructions hahaha~

The funny thing was we weren't saying anything on the way back to the office and this morning I found out, E.A. thinks the other guy is a hottie too *lol*

The funnier thing (fangal-wise), when I arrived home last night, I caught Utada Hikaru's 'First Love' pv on the boobtube. Local channel. Which I find very, very rare! And once again I was glued on the screen even if I see Hiki circa 1990's coz I have another Hiki/Hikaru playing in my mind XD As I've confessed for so many times, me and Hikaru Kurosawa go way, way back (one-sided love only so to speak XD) so is this Tackey telling me that I have been unfaithful?! chigau Tackey, chigau. You and RL boylet live in a completely different...erm...dimension (?) and 'tis just a lil crush ahehehehehehe~ nu~ni~nu~ni~nu~ni~nu

'd' trip

2006-12-02T20:25:00.000+08:00

I just came back from Divisoria, the mecca where everything seem cheap but only to the sharp eyes. You see, at this time of the year, most people would be braving a good 1-2 hours of commute or 10-30 minutes of MRT from the East to get a good buy. And when I say a good buy, you really have to be the judge and look out for the really good ones (quality-wise) coz you might just end up buying unbranded stuff which you also see inside the popular malls around for half a price or even lower depending on your bargaining abilities. It would also be nice to chance on bargaining with the store owner's son who, *covers Tackey's eyes*, looked like a younger Takeshi Kaneshiro hehehe~

Of course, all good things come with very, very steep price(s):

The possibility of getting good quality merchandises also comes with the possibility of getting not-so-good quality ones too. You really have to be really keen to check the products well. No holes on the underarms, no missing buttons, no Doras with uber-baby bangs and Mickey Mouses with no noses hahaha~

Massive people walking around like lil ants + low prices = you get really physical (Olivia Newton John version ahaha~). Yup, I have been pushed, shoved aside and my toes stepped on while standing and checking out stuff. Good thing, I brought an extra dosage of PATIENCE to keep my cool as I told one girl to "quit pushing me and keep your hands off my back" without sharpening my claws right there and then.

Expect the WORSE being (1) pushed to sticky, sweaty men carrying boxes of goods who excuse themselves in a really, really 'tight' crowd; (2) snobbed by vendors when you start bargaining or dodging the evil eye they throw your way *lol*; (3) bumped into merchandises (big ones) when your eyes are checking out the others on the next store that'll leave you purple bruises; (4) able to go home with sore legs and feet from going around, store to store; or (5) mobbed by vendors when they try to get your attention showing you their wares.

Expect the WORST. Where there are people spending $$$, there are most likely people who'd want to take advantage of the situation. Just keep an eye on your own belongings specially your spending cash.

And when you head to the heart of Manila, remember that you've risked yourself to the elements of pollution, soot and all the dirt. You might as well jump into to the showers the nanosecond you got home. As Tackey puts it....

From hereon and after, the DiTHeRs holiday mission continues. Next target--->

TACKEY & TSUBASA CONCERT GOODS!
Okane baibai~ (^..^)

PS: I cant believe Im on my 24th-hour without any sleep. I've really turned for the worse....

okay sunday

2006-11-27T21:06:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, we went to my sister's baby shower party a.k.a. Angelo Miguel's pre-birthday party at Mandaluyong. We were asked to draw a baby boy with the paper resting at the top of our heads tsk tsk tsk. One of my sisters drew a baby with a small head and the baby's arms about 3 inches away *lol* She calls it a 'chop2 baby' (sounds gory!). She kinda laughed her way out of her surreal drawing infront of everybody there. My mother drew a baby whose head is thrice bigger than his body. My dad insisted he drew a baby inside a crib but when we saw the drawing, it was a crib inside the baby hahaha Baby must be hungry ne~ *ROFL* Ok, ok, my drawing also didn't really fare too well --->

[completely off-topic: meet the sistah of this drawing *lol*]

Atleast, he looked like a very happy baby right? Demo Kamisama, onegai~~~ don't make my nephew look like this when he's born. Please! I beg of you.... XD

After eating, playing another game, opening of gifts and eating again, we went to the nearby Policarpio street to check out the (over)lit houses decorated for the holidays:

[completely off-topic again: this might as well be included in them shiny, shimmeries]

We reckon that these houses were owned by the president of Meralco Corporation, his vice-president and the head of the board of directors *lol*

After another round of chicken and soup, we headed home. I went straight to sleep once I saw my bed. Amazingly, I was knocked out at 9pm. One of the very rare occasions these days.

same ol' problem

2006-11-21T23:14:00.000+08:00

It's 32 days before Christmas and why do I find myself evading the malls??? Oh, I know---the Christmas rush just pulls all the people to the malls that's why. I don't enjoy going to very, very crowded people (but I'd give exceptions for things and people I like ^_^). I know that I really have to do some serious shopping since I haven't done much of it these past days except last Friday. I found myself inside SM Megamall an hour before it closes as I wait for my friends. We were to get our fill of comfort food at Soup Kitchen. So I was there inside the department store waiting for their SMSes and there weren't much people going around since the store was about to close. My feet instantly brought me to the Kids' Section coz I always buy my inaanaks' gifts first since Christmases are for the children. Besides, I have some stuff to get for my sister and my future nephew---baby shower this Sunday. I was eyeing this little rocking toy horse which I'd love to get for him when he turns 2 or 3. I don't think my sister would be too happy when I DO get it though. Having a Lone Ranger at a very early age is not what she'd be wishing for. DEFINITELY *lol* So I kept looking around. I saw this other toy which he could *punch* *punch* *punch* but it would still keep standing. It could work well when he starts teething. Ooooh the aggressions of a little (teething) man XD XD XD But then I thought if it's not gonna be Lone Ranger, it's never gonna be Rocky Balboa either. So I ended up buying this baby carrier instead. I plan to get something else before the weekend. It's only right that I get him a toy too. See, Im already spoiling my nephew even before his eyes open up to this world teehee XD

I picked up some stuff before I rushed out---tops for my sister as requested and a few other lil things but still, it won't make up even for a tenth of what I'd have to shop for. So God help me *prays*

DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DAAA Tonight~~~ for some reason, I've been humming Paris Hilton's "Nothing In This World" song the whole morning 'til now. I know that Paris is definitely not a Mariah Carey or a Celine Dion but her songs are too pop, they cling.

beyond reasonable doubts

2006-11-18T17:07:00.000+08:00

When Tsuba recently said that Tackey has kept the same big reactions through all these years, the '2u4u' DVD just further strengthened his claim...

*ROFL* what the *&^%$#$%^&! hahahahaha

Tackey, take out that gum now~ C'mon, spit.... *lol*

MINNA, daijoubu.
Tackey's just acting as a (very cute) retard singing the national anthem haha

In shock? In pain? In giggles? All of the above? XD XD XD

Could these be side effects of too much sun? bwahaha

If only Tsuba knew what goes behind his back...literally! hahahaha

As proven once again, Tackey is indeed, the KING OF REACTIONS. But no matter how much Tackey distorts, contorts, twists and bends those face muscles, he will forever remain kakkoii. I consider it part of his undeniable charms. Well, aside from the fact that he loves animals too...

You see, even if Tackey won't let Kitty stay in her little 'cozy' nook, she seem a very happy cat. No, not 'seem', SHE IS A VERY HAPPY CAT. I see 'URESHII' flashing in her cat eyes hahaha Now, where is Tsubasa? *looks around*

2go or not 2go?

2006-11-16T03:45:00.000+08:00

I said to myself that if TackeyTsuba would have a con next year, Im on. It's got to be next year coz I just have the feeling that I just have to go soon before the real world eats me whole. Besides, how many times have Tsuba been hinting that something is up on their 5th year ne? So I was set on 2007. Saving up for the unitcon that is to be on 2007. I even warned my cousin that he shouldn't resign anytime soon coz he still has to tour me around if and when he has something up in Tokyo around TxT con time that I'd be there (if and when again). I even made a fist at him to threaten him which he took as very funny (-_-;) I was actually serious. These little fists can kill................. germs hahaha But laugh my dear cuz, laugh for now coz Im gonna hold you down to your words. Not the Kabukicho one, Im not interested. That, you go alone *lol*

And so my days are resigned at the thought of that 2007 unitcon in (usual) midyear or last quarter until Tsuba gave out the news about their TxT National Tour set early next year. About 28 shows outside Tokyo. This totally made me fall off the chair, so to speak, because I know that they would have December cons soon and rarely do they follow it up with another con immediately after. In this case, 1 month apart. Most fans are in disbelief with the announcement because we are all caught unaware. So Im back to deep contemplation over this. Should I or should I not?

Looking at the venue list, Im only familiar with HOKKAIDO, SENDAI, HIROSHIMA, FUKOUKA, NIIGATA and NAGOYA. And when I say familiar, I meant seen them on TV, read about them, heard about them DEMO I haven't even touched a single toe on those places. I know HOKKAIDO for good and fresh seafoods; HIROSHIMA and FUKOUKA for my WWII history exams in middle school and oh, my friend went there last time for this animation event he'd have to go to; SENDAI + NAGOYA for previous TxT con venues and NIIGATA coz Tackey went there to visit kids in school and oh, how they just adore him. But other than these very limited knowledge about the places, not even general or public knowledge, I already consider myself lost and lost in translation even before I get there. The free spirit in me says its gonna be an adventure. To go somewhere I haven't gone before where rich culture thrives and to see how diverse people can be in that part of the region. In contrast, the logical spirit says if you are to go, atleast know your nihonggo well so you wouldn't end up at some Shaolin Temple at the heart of a thick forest (sorry, since we're talking outside Tokyo, Im prone to think these places are provincial with vast lands and seas around) or don't ever go alone. Atleast, have someone with good conversational Nihonggo to take you. Hmmmm.... *dithers in deep thoughts*. In all honesty, looks like I was thinking more rationally 3 years ago. When TxT is not yet on my dictionary *lol*

Hmmm.......hmmm.......hmmmm........ if TxT would have had a con midyear or last quarter, in Tokyo, no doubt, I'm sooo there (tickets and ticket problems aside). I could even convince my friend, Anne to come and meet with me there around that time since she plans to go too. (ANNE-chan, mahabag ka na sa desperado mong kaibigan. Pagbigyan na... XD ) Im also considering that TxT may have another unitcon set for their actual 5th year anniversary which falls on September 11. They have got to have one for Tokyo (or Osaka) right? Besides this tour is too early for an anniversary gift to fans. It's 8 months early. Aaaarrrgggghhh, what to do? what to do? Im psyching myself up for possibilities. What if there isn't any? WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH..... *dithers nosebleeds at the end of this entry*

Sorry about the declining sense of humor there ah. I am just trying to entertain myself (thanks to Luz and her forwarded emails). Kyo wa taihen kibun ga warui kara. Nodo ga itaiiiii. I already saw it coming but I did not heed it so here I am, at home, nursing a fever on a Friday. I even went to work yesterday when I'm already feeling chills in the morning. Now, my throat hurts when I eat or drink anything so it's been chicken noodle soup for me since yesterday's dinner and I've been popping paracetamols and Strepsils like M&Ms.

Well, atleast, I am taking that very much needed rest. That would also mean FREE TIME (^__^) (Note that I even did an AVEX with those jokes up there utilizing my free time hehehe). My mom would kill me if she knew that I go online rather than get some sleep and rest today. When she called this morning, she said I should be getting as much sleep as possible as she is aware that her daughter is a chronic insomniac. Dont worry Mom, I'm just gonna be online for a few minutes and I go back to sleep. Just needed a few minutes to go around and catch up on my TxT.... (^_^)V

kimchi + sushi talk

2006-11-06T21:00:00.000+08:00

I just finished up 'GOONG' this weekend and Im smitten with Joo Ji-hoon on this. How can I not? Even if my dad insists that he looked so robotic, he undeniably comes in princely in his suits and even in his casuals, Im finding him cuter (except for that pedal pushers he'd have to wear in Macau!!! I swear, whoever made him wore that should be banished! *lol*). I see Tsuba in him when he wears those tanktops + suit combo because of his long, lean torso. And yes, the low necklines show his very smooth, hair-free chest ahehehe And his snobbish, arrogant ways are so endearing too. So are the times he'd be smiling very rarely on the 24 episodes of 'Goong'. My sister says he looks a lot like Bi. Probably because of the eyes but I liken him more to Tsubasa (or my mind think it is). Unfortunately, when I looked him up in DramaWiki, he only have 1 series in his filmography and that is 'Goong' already so I wont be seeing much of him yet. I hope he'll do a movie or another series so I could watch him again. I also found out that there would be 'Goong 2' early next year. Unfortunately, again, he won't be appearing on it as posted. On 'Goong2', they would have Se7ven (attention AKI-chan! ^.^) to play the royal grandson who is oblivious to the fact that he has royal blood running in his veins and he was sought out to become the new emperor. Pretty interesting story. Something to look forward to when I crave for some 'kimchi' in the future.

After watching several Korean dramas, I have grown familiar with the plots already. A love triangle/quadrangle would always, ALWAYS be the main story. It would either start as a love-hate or a one-sided love thing then it will blossom into a full-pledged love with the other party after a series of good and bad instances. And when finally, they both have come into terms with their feelings, a big block of turbulence will come in a form of an ex or a ghost from the past or some lie that just wont remain hidden and it will propel our protagonists to another major emotional rollercoaster. Fear not though coz we often have nice endings. So why is that even if I already know what to expect, I still want to watch these kdramas? Well, like everybody else, I also want to entertain myself with the *tingly* plots and happy endings. Besides, I could always find a good excuse for insomnia.

Speaking of which, I have been very curious of Tackey's upcoming dorama special. I have read about it online but a lot of questions are still sitting in my head. Will this special be another TBS presentation? Will the Romeo + Juliet plot be a bit contemporary? Mixing the old with the new like they did in 'Goong' or Baz Luhrman's version in 1996? Or it's just gonna be a lil adaptation of the story about the star-crossed lovers Japanese style? Looks like I'm putting too much thought on this when it might just run in a total of 5 hours or so. You have to forgive me, Im in my Tackey dorama drought these days. The last dorama I saw him in was 'Satomi Hakkenden' and that was what---January 2006! I was watching 'Antique Cake Store' with K this evening and I started missing Tackey doramas again even if I just went over another round of BokuMado and Majo a few weeks ago. Maybe I just needed my Vitamin T more now for de-stressing but I really hope that Tackey would be acting in a full-length dorama next year. Pweetty pwease?! (^__^)

And here I am, asking for a dorama when Tackey could be needing a rest himself. How selfish! *lol* Ok then, selfish me will go wait for the '2u4u' album instead. It's coming soon atleast. YIPEEEEE-YAAAAY!!!

PS: Let me just welcome YVONNE to dithersanctum.blogspot. IRASHAAAAIII!!! And you thought I wasn't updating tsk tsk tsk :p :p :p

It was mid-summer and everyone's busily frolicking by the beach under the almost-setting sun. She went hurriedly back to the hotel to take a much needed shower. She has to wash off the white sands from her already crisp skin. So alone, she went back inside while her friends stayed wading at the shores. Groping her way through the dark-lit room, she grabbed everything she needed from the closet --- shampoo, body soap and a towel. Before she stepped in the showers, she locked the doors of the room so none of her prankster friends would be able to pull another prank on her when they get back. More than this, she already had the habit to always lock the doors wherever she's at specially when she's not staying at home. She also locked the bathroom when she entered it. She hanged her towel on the nearby holder and stepped in the glass-walled shower cabin. She started shampoo-ing her hair that suds and moists begin to form along the translucent glass walls. She was taking her time rubbing off the sand from her body when suddenly, out of the blue, she noticed something odd on one side of the glass walls. A handprint, a size of a child's, appeared from the lower side of the glass wall. She was rather curious to know if somebody could have slipped inside the bathroom before she even came in so she bent low to scrutinize the handprint and look through it to see the one outside the shower cabin who made the mark. She didn't see anybody there so she got back to the handprint and placed her hand next to it to confirm that it was indeed, a child's right handprint. As she bent nearer, with her hand right next to the right handprint, the other pair of the handprint started to appear beside it. It was as if the one who made it was peering through the glass and looking back at her. This caught her by surprise that her heart was pounding like hell. If she wasn't fully covered with soap suds and starked naked, she would have ran out like crazy but she knew better so she just prayed hard while she rinses off. She got dressed hurriedly and dashed out of the room with her hair still standing on its ends.

I know. I know. Not another horror story. What better time to share stories like this than Halloween's right?! Scary urban legends and the likes being retold over and over for creeps. But the thing is, this story I just told you ain't fiction. It actually happened.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

saying hello

2006-10-30T21:19:00.000+08:00

Minna, I would like you to meet Supahsupaida-chan. He has officially become Kimochi's virtual resident spider while I'm away rattling my brain out dry. He belongs to the nicer clans of the Arachnids so don't be afraid, he doesn't bite ...errr... sting ...errr... suck(?!) ...er... well, whatever spiders do ^_^ Anyways, I would let him squat here for a while as I attend to some matters at hand. I think Tackey is getting a bit lonely up there in my header coz Tackeypup and Tsupanda are so busy in their own little world they turned their backs at him XD And so, Supahsupaida-chan may even serve to be a good form of entertainment for him for the time-being (see, Tackey is already smiling just watching him *bounce* XD). And besides, Halloween is coming up soon so little cobwebs here and there is fine by me ^^ So please keep those slippers away from your screens and let's be nice to my lil tomodachi. Yoroshiku onegai ^_^ Speaking of which, when I went to the mall yesterday, there were kids in costumes going from one shop to another asking for their treats. Me and Memsh were thinking if we could join the line for treats too. The freeloaders that we are hahaha Hey, I could have said I'm dressed up as a fangirl and give them a shriek or two, "TAAAACKEYYY!!!! TACCKKKEYYYY!!!!" and they could just give me everything they got just to stop hearing a grown up trying to shriek in her almost alto voice scaring the kids in queue..... *tsk* should I have tried atleast?! XD XD XD

So what have I been missing in fandom these days? I already placed an order for '2u4u' and anticipating so eagerly for the release by November 15. All I could think about is that fonecall that TxT would make as an added perk to loyal fans who are buying all the 3 versions. I just had a very quick chat with Kathy the other day and she was saying that there could be a probability of TxT doing it for overseas fans as well this time since details about this thing has not been given yet (or has it just that my kindergarten Nihonggo cant point that out on the Avexsite?! must be...). I just gave her 2 words, "AVEX? JOHNNYS JIMUSHO?" (ok, make that 3 hehe). I think with those two/three words, my dream of having to "moshi! moshi!" with TxT right from my bedroom is farther than impossible. Must I go again on my lithany about how unlucky overseas fans get?! Nah, Id save my energy na lang specially that November 15 is drawing near.

I also have heard about that motorbike that our very generous Tackey-sama had given Tsubasa on his 25th birthday. Read that he just gave him keys for it and Tsuba was very happy seeing the keys not even knowing what it was for *lol* What if it was actually for a bike like this...

Would TackeyTsuba still be Grease-ing on that mini? *roflmao* Anyways, it was always nice to know that Tackey has been very generous once again with his aikata on his birthday. I hope he gets many returns for everything ^^ Chotto matte yo, what's with the gf rumor?! Please tell me they aren't true. Much as I want him to be really happy, Im not yet ready for this! Don't ask me when I'll be coz I'd probably be still this jealous even if I have all my kids finish college (ang lala! lakas tama! hahahahahahaha) (T.T) Please say its only Tsubasa or Kazuko-chan and I will be pacified...

thanks to eskimo.com for Supahsupaido-chan's mugshot there XD Avex for the 2u4u pic and Tackey yahoogroup for the last one with the minibike. Of course, MEMSH for the crazyshit gif

pick-me-up

2006-10-25T18:05:00.000+08:00

Excuse me if I begin wallowing here again. It is the first time that I go to the office without seeing my usual partner in crime/s (the crimes being (1) to name the most unknown 80's celebrities there is in 'That's Entertainment', (2) to chuckle at almost everything and anything and make fun of the most mundane of things, (3) to still be teary-eyed and laughin at a joke when everybody else had already stopped coz it is becoming very corny, (4) to have an interesting conversation with the sales person while tricking her/him to give us big discounts, (5) to use up the company's bandwidth rewatching 'MATH GENIUS' on youtube over and over etc.). I am not very good with goodbyes specially to people I have grown close with. I try to save myself from tearful and emotional exhibitions in public. Moreso when it comes to Mems else I'll be the object of crime no.2 XD But for me, 'goodbyes' are just temporary. We would still be seeing each other again. So to Memsh, who have decided to go the other way, ingat at ingat sila sa 'yo! Mahirap na kung di pa nila nalalaman ang kamandag ng alindog ng pinaka-couture na babae sa balat ng Navotas hahaha. Wish ko lang na sana ay di ka naman nila pa-pickup-in ng limpak-limpak na lipstick sa pier ng Tondo habang ikaw ay fashion na fashion hahaha See you soon. Hopefully, with a new hunk ^^

After the wallowing, I think I need to lift my mood. I'm posting these for those who also need a quick pick-me-up at this very moment...

Are we feeling better? I think I am ^___^ Since Im into posting these pics from [ONE] pamphlet, maybe you guys can help me figure out which one is the cutest coz its just too hard XDDD

Anyone?! Or did you guys go "CHIBIKO KAWAIIIII!!!" and melt in a puddle of goo just now? XD XD XD Tackey is such a super kawaii baby isn't he? Im sure to spoil any baby who looks like this though I might not be able to refrain myself and go into a *pinch* fest even before the baby mouths "ma..ma..!" God help the poor baby for looking sooo cute and God help me before I turn those cheeks to tomato red XD

Big, big thanks to NAOKI for going through all the trouble of getting me [ONE] pamphlet <333

five of 5s

2006-10-21T21:19:00.000+08:00

A quick five of 5s rundown on what keeps me preoccupied these days that you dont see me around here...

5 things on my boobtube:

Densha Otoko - a story about an average otaku, who with the help of his chatmates online, was able to get the girl of his dreams. A non-Johnnys production (with not a single Johnnys on it, I mean) but found it as interesting. Of course, eyecandies aren't lacking with Oguri Shun and Hayami(Ha-YUMMIE?) Mocomichi in it.
CSI and Sex in the City - 2 series that balances things out. One leaning for all the crime-solving and mostly, testosterone-pumped actions and the other one on women bonding and guffaws at Samantha's sexcapades.
Ouran High School Host Club - thanks to frequent visits to Aki's and Alexiel's blogs that I get to have a lil intro on this anime. It's funny and entertaining and I read from Aki-chan that this may be turned to live action soon. I have to agree with you AKI-chan, that guy for Tamaki role doesn't look the part. I say go Tackey for Tamaki!!! (^O^)/ Best person to play the King of the Host Club is Tackey yo!!!!!
Kingkong, Just like Heaven, The Breakup etc.- movies I have missed but not really dying to see. More like my sisters and bro wanted to see and I just happen to be sitting infront of the tv.
TxT DVDs - you didn't expect this list to be done without Tackey right? Of course not or did you? ^__^ *winks at Aki-chan*

5 places I'm often seen at:

Infront of my computer - what can I say? I have always been tied to my computers as always. I think it was destined to be.

Studios - photoshoots that I have to attend to and Im actually, a bit suffocated from. This weekend is very much welcome if only for me to have a break from spending another minute in a studio.
Mall - 3 pairs of shoes + 5 tops that just made my debit card *quiver*.
Thai Kitchen, Chicken Bacolod, Asian Bites, Sushiya, Kitaro, Teriyaki Boy, KFC , Chef d'Angelo - somebody's gotta be fed for sure or somebody's gonna get really cranky~
On my bed - my solace from it all. I hardly get insomnia these days coz once I touch home, it's straight to the bedroom and in to dreamlandia.

5 reasons that have kept me from blogging:

Work - self-explanatory
Exhaustion - self-explanatory
Laziness - self-explanatory
Headache - too much computer, I think.
RL friends - they make my world sane so ample time spent with them is always welcome.

5 phrases I said recently:

"So, what do you exactly mean by that? (O..o)" when a friend said that I should be watching 'GREYS ANATOMY' because "Patrick Dempsey is all man. You should watch it coz the guys there, they all look real man." I just said bluntly, "I'm sorry, I dont watch it. I dont want to." She got the message right away. But I really dun mind seeing it. It's just a way to shut her off coz Im not liking what she is hinting.
"WHATDF***!!!!" when Patring, our proofreader who writes as well, came to me to give me an instant layout (again) for 7-pages one morning. She knows it wasn't directed at her and she knows that I'm really tired from staying late the night before doing more instant layout.
"I'm gonna puke with all these shoes!" when we just finished shooting about more or less 100 shoes(eseseses) yesterday. Right now, I abhor the smell of leather.
"I knew I should have stayed in the office." when I got in a shopping spree and realized that I just blew off my salary buying stuff which I did not intend to get anyways.
"Ano ba?~" (that's a subtle versions of no.2 only in a lil less irk but still irky yet still be friendly way) when friends keep telling me they'd set me up with any Korean or Korean-looking friends they know. First, Tackey is Japanese. Second, I don't go *dokidoki* with every Korean, Japanese or Chinese. Third and last, do I look desperate to you??? (o..O#)

5 new things that I should be looking forward to:

A new haircut. It was fun and it was a cool change but I finally said goodbye to curly locks and it's back to straight hair again with a few flyaways left from the curls.
A new cubiclemate who just took over Mem's workstation. Unfortunately, she would be taking her leave too in a few weeks to give birth to another munchkin.
A new setup at work coz we just had our assignments reshuffled. I hope this one would spare me of all the "@#$%^&*&^%$#@!!!!"
A new baby boy. Nope, I just didn't have one through immaculate conception *lol* My sister just happen to know through her ultrasound visits to the doctor that she's gonna have a baby boy by next year.
A new TxT album. Of course, it is definitely something to look forward to. My first TxT album that I'd get to buy on actual release time in my whole fangirl life. I just wished the album covers could have been better. But again, that's just me.

crazy 'crazy rainbow'

2006-10-16T23:11:00.000+08:00

Wow in a few minutes, Tsubasa will be stepping into his quarter-life. I hope he'd be spared of the 'quarter-life crises' if he has to go through year 25. I know the term is just coined by mass-media and since it sounded good, they validate that yes, there is this thing called the 'quarter-life crisis'. Being popular and all, I'm sure Tsubasa may have gone to crises of his own even before this quarter-life so my wish for him would be that he'd be stronger and may he keep on getting better ^_^ That wish goes for every one who celebrates and shares this wonderful day with Tsubabie. Whoever you guys are....

So I was told that the TxT album is open for preorders now?! Time for 'OPERATION: SECURE THAT TxT ALBUM NOW!'. I didn't expect to get this news so soon (thanks Kathy!). I just went to check on BON-chan's entry that she's feeling it comin' real soon and me coming out from my 'slump' a few days ago, Im a bit low on the TxT radar. Just waiting to be surprised...hell, SHOCKED is more welcome so here it is. Not really a shocker but well, enough to shake the TxT fangal spirit in me. So Im sorry to keep this short. This fangal have some numbers to call~~~ Can't wait to hear how crazy 'CRAZY RAINBOW' is. Mel, brace yourself! Forewarn Armi and Candy as well coz they will not be spared from it too ^^

rebound

2006-10-12T22:48:00.000+08:00

Aaaahhh just when I was ready to blog, I get an internal error message on the screen when I click on blogger. That's for the past 30 mins. Im glad that I took another go at it before I turn off this computer. Sorry for the breather there but just to let you guys know, Dithers is still very much alive ^__^ Crazy schedule at work got my head in a spin again but atleast, I saw a golden opportunity to blog before things get uglier at work. Speaking of breather....

Akanishi Jin of KATTUN just gave out an announcement that he'd want to take one soon. From what I read, he's gonna take an indefinite leave to the *heartbreak* of his fans out there. It seems he wants to study English. But if you want to study English, SPAIN is not really the place you'd go right? So what is it really?! It's the kind of news (in fandom world) that would shock people coz Jin is at the peak of his career right now. It is no doubt that amongst Johnnys groups, it is KATTUN who's been raking in the okane these past days. In some threads that I checked, assumptions arise from the fact that KAME has been getting a lot of projects right now that MAYBE, Jin feels he is a bit overlooked. Personally, I don't think that Jin is jealous of Kame for such shallow reasons. They have been working together for a loooong time that to harbor jealousy among the group is almost criminal. So could it be that this one Johnnys is just plain tired of getting overworked that he opted to take a step back and sort things out for himself? Possible. I don't keep abreast much about KATTUN but knowing TxT and their crazy, impossible work timetable, them being in the same company as Johnnys Jimusho, it could be that Jin was worn-out. They are also humans if Johnny-san must be reminded of *rolls eyes* But Im not about to start another assumption here and point a guilty finger at Johnny-san. Let me just say Im hoping that this hiatus would be very helpful to him and Im looking forward to the return JINJIN. And when you come back after 'studying English', Im expecting that, "Pleeez be me engel bebi...I miz you...I will truly be your engel" to improve a bit more alright?! (^___^)/

I cant imagine if Tackey would say this himself. Not the lines from 'My Angel, You're Angel' ok?! :p I know he wrote this song but what I meant was what if Tackey says he wants to take an indefinite leave??? No doubt, Id be distraught. Totally. Considering the rate that Im crushin on him, Id be a wreck. But the good way to look at it would be that at the least, he isn't announcing that he's getting married! Or would that feel just the same? Hmmm.... seeing Tackey with his wife or not seeing him at all---whichever way, MAJOR *heartbreak*. Aaaa... Im not gonna think about this anymore coz cracks are already forming on my aorta! haha

I don't know if this news just made me a bit sabishii/kanashii coz for some reason, these past few days, I'm kinda feelin low. I really can't pinpoint why. Just going around with a heavy heart. Id be happy to get out from this slump soon if only I know how. Anyways, our AE's 4yr old daughter, Fifi, drew me and made me smile yesterday --->

No, I am not an alien and I don't have 3 eyes. That is not my rib sticking out from the shirt hahaha The 2nd dot to your right from my supposed nose is actually an ear *lol* Well atleast, there IS an ear else Id be deaf right?! XD She drew me as stick figure first with the curly hair and the bangs and I told her that its chotto samui so she drew me a shirt and a pants! The kid had the heart to clothe me XD I have no plans going nuge even in this child's sketch! *lol* Cute kid. We counted 1-10 in chinese. Showed her some of my Tackey clips (minus the Meiji Cocoa one of course!). I hope they left her a very good impression for future TxT fangal generations to come XD

hallo electricity

2006-10-08T16:13:00.000+08:00

And when the Almighty said, 'LET THERE BE LIGHT!", Dithers squinted her eyes. It's too much light her eyes can take XD So yeah, after so much ranting and bickering about Meralco, sending them wartanks and all, FINALLY, there was light!!!! Hallelujah! Rejoice! Rejoice!~ We got our power back last Friday and what a relief it was. Imagine, more than a week of no-tv, no-microwave, no-internet, no-fans, no-cold water--- Meralco had finally heard our pleas (or was it that 'boom, boom, acka-la-la-ka boom' song MEL that did it? hahaha). Ah MERALCO, merci! If we had gone for another week of no electricity, baka magkutuhan na lang kami dito. Baka mapabayo na ako ng bigas o mangkutkut ng kuko ng may kuko....whichever way, di na kinakaya ng powers ko ang init, inis at inggit sa mga kapitbahay na kasalukuyang nagpaparty at kitang-kita ko pa from my window!!!

I was supposed to go to the office yesterday and finish up on some work and go overtime but since we just had our electricity back, I got lazy and opted to stay home. I'll just come in early tomorrow morning and finished my pending project. I think it's just the right time to celebrate our 'Ohisashiburi ELECTRICITY' day so we were up to abusing the appliances hehehehe

I awoke at 1pm yesterday and found my Dad and bro sittin infront of the tv. Since I just woke up, I sit myself infront of the tv with them in my half-awake, half-asleep state (I really dun get up that easily coz I would still be snatching a few winks even after I wake up). They were actually watching...

Im not following this series much and only saw about 2 or 3 episodes coz I was not really into it. I do know the premise of the story though and was thinking at first, how they could stretch the very thin storyline of a man plotting a jailbreak in a few days into 20+ (now 30+) episodes. In between my half-dreaming and half-watching this series, I finally caught on and the story got me to sit up and watch it and the rest with growing interest.

Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) is a promising engineer who have got things going for him until he learned that his only bro and family, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) was involved in a crime of killing the vice president's brother thus, was sent to the death-row. Learning that Lincoln will be sent to the same prison that he, himself, has helped built, he came up with a plan to get himself in and help his bro break out from the prison walls and eventually, spare his life for paying for a crime he did not commit. People from the outside like Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney), Lincoln's ex-gf and Lincoln's son, LJ (Marshall Allman) are also out to help Lincoln in their own way using the law as their weapon but they have just brought themselves into a deeper trouble with a massive political conspiracy blowing up at their faces. They would only have to trust their better judgements and instincts as to who to trust and where to go.

I have to admit that I have been so quick to judge this series that I thought it would be too dragging to see it. I was wrong. The storyline may be as simple as what I said earlier but things get interesting with every new inmate that comes, their stories that goes with it and the hurdles that each of them have to surpass just to be able get to their mission.

A dad who has to get to her dying daughter before time runs out.

Another dad who has to give an excuse of being called back to military service when he was, a matter of fact, caught and is serving time.

A schizo who have an obsession over Michael's body tattoos (which is actually the masked blueprint of the whole prison).

A Mexican, who may looked tough on the outside but was all lovey-gooey in the inside, and his cousin.

A crazy, criminally-minded maniac who has been America's most-wanted.

A guy who has strong association with the mob.

A 'Vanilla Ice' kid who just cant keep his mouth shut except when Avocado is around.

and of course,

A pair of brothers who were left to depend only on each other.

These among the other stories not enclosed within the walls comprised the series. And my Dad who has been complaining about us watching too much TV even sat with me through 18 hours straight with only quick trips to the CR for break and lunch + dinner + midnight snacks right infront of Wentworth Miller XD When I said we'd abuse the appliance, I really mean WE WOULD ABUSE IT hehehe Thank God for electricity. Thank God for William Gilbert, Pieter van Musschenbroek, Thomas Edison or whoever invented electricity!

PS: SHUTTAKY, sorry for another 'crawling ants' entry here. But duncha like having an eye-practice everytime you come here to read??? It's good for you XD

PS2: AKI-CHAN, Wentworth Miller is the brooding type with piercing eyes that could just look through you (cover up now! XD). A part of me likes brooding types but dont worry, he is still yours....URAGIRI HAREM with LJK! :p :p :p

PS3: SNUFFLES-chan, hope you've arrived Japan safe and sound...

2006-10-05T21:16:00.000+08:00

I am about to put this funny, funny book by Lauren Weisberger down in a few nights since I started paying it my full attention these past few days amidst yes, the darkness enveloping our house STILL. I hate to admit it but this just somehow proves how 3rd world my country can be but my ever-positive otousan told us stories about people from his office losing everything with the typhoon and that just shut me up over my whining during dinner. But really, do I send a wartank over to Meralco already?! I really feel so deprived now specially that Jen, whose house is just a few streets away from mine, had their electricity already since the weekend. Mems had theirs back last Saturday too. And the only other person who has the same dilemma as me ('til very recently), Bubbles, just reported 2 days ago that they got their power back. So that leaves me the only pathetic person at work who misses on everything electric right now. I have to console myself that I have KYON and well, this book to spend my literally, dark nights with. My parents are warning me about how Id get a bad eye for doing it in the dark. I just jokingly think to myself that that'll be the time for Tackey's AMO in case *lol* Anyways, this isn't about me ranting over that matter again as I already alloted a whole entry for it before. Im here to talk about the book.

Although, I've seen and enjoyed the movie, I still say the book still is the best even if Im not done with it yet. There are a number of things they tweaked in the movie. Some are rather interesting details that are really funny to know. For one, Anne Hathaway's Andrea went to Paris because her bitchy boss, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) asked her to do it without telling her senior assistant, Emily (Emily Blunt) about the decision. It was made to appear that Emily got mad at Andrea in the movie for this since she had been wanting to go to Paris with Miranda and Miranda just dumped her over the junior assistant, Andrea. On the book, Emily got down with a mononucleosis that won't allow her to go to Paris and so she talked to Miranda about it. Well, more of her doctor talked to THE Miranda Priestly to do some convincing from an expert's point of view that indeed, a MONONUCLEOSIS is a 'real' disease thus, Miranda opted to bring her other American assistant for she doesn't trust her French assistants to do the job. Tough luck for Andrea there. It must be really a real pain to be in Paris, in the middle of grandeur of the City of Lights when you're working for such a difficult, monster-of-a-boss like Miranda. And there are the moments with Eduardo, the nicer guy from behind the security desk of the Elias-Clark building who'd always have a theme song playin at the background that ironically fits the anxiety-ridden circumstance that Andrea would be caught in. Songs like 'Material Girl' or 'Im Too Sexy' when Andrea is so in a rush to fetch and do stuff for Miranda which needs to be accomplished in minutes. There was even a time that Eduardo won't let her pass without singing to "I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. I wanna---I wanna---I wanna---I wanna---I really, really, really, really wanna zigga zig aaaahhhh" XDDD Another thing I would have looked forward to, if only I finished this book before I watched it a few weeks ago, was THE Christian Collinsworth, the boy genius who'd first been published a the ripe old age of twenty from a Yale library cubicle in the book who appeared to be really sexy while stroking back his curly hair falling to his face but the Christian on the movie played by Simon Baker kinda falls short of my expectation for how Andrea on the book described him to be. I enjoyed immensely the parts where Andrea on the book would be talking to herself and imagining things how she would have wanted to handle the situation but always end up with her tail between her legs and giving Miranda the nod in complete resignation just like a loyal puppy following orders from its master but deep inside she's gnawing her like the tossed newspaper in early mornings XD

Im onto finishing the following pages before my eyes get teary and sleepy in the nights I get home so I still dun know if the ending is more fab than the movie or it could just be the same. But working in publishing companies, I have yet to encounter a MIRANDA PRIESTLY. Yes, I have encountered an editor who probably have more dates with her surgeon than men in a romantic way. No wonder at her age, she may still be looking good but we all know her secret. Another woman editor who slaveworked us for 3 consecutive days and nights then lambast our works after and gave us the expletives tsk tsk. A few horror stories but well, none came close to Miranda. Not that Im praying for one but I think most of the local editors are still nice which is still a good thing considering how much time we spend at work. I wouldn't want to die with any more anxiety and stress when I have yet to set foot in Tokyo hehehe

UNGGA (aka DiTHeRs in the cro-magnon era): Me feel hot. Me feel hungry. Me feel thirsty. Me feel restless. Me want cool air. food. ice-cold drinks. tv. internet. Me kill Meralco with a really big club .... or a spear! Aaaa-haaa-haaa-haaaaa~~~~ *ala Tarzan or George of the Jungle*

For the past 4 days, my family and I have been, literally, in the stone age. Yes, we grope our ways in the dark since Milenio has just propelled our electric cable wires out from the main transformer on the next street. We have been trying to get through Meralco's phone lines to report and get updates. The few times that we managed to, we were always given the answer, "Sir/Ma'm, the report have been directed to our field personnels already" and that's what---for the past 3 days! No wonder my sister won't let the phone down dialling and redialling Meralco's number with clenched teeth. I, on the other hand, have already given up. Just trying my best to look at the advantages this brings to me or I'm gonna go crazy just hearing our neighbors watch "THE BUZZ!"

So ok, I got down to reading 'The Devil Wears Prada' which I've borrowed from Patring since about a month ago. Cleaned up my keitai's inbox messages. Learned what my sisters and bro were on these days. Ate whatever food is on the table. Pretended to be Prometheus playing with fire from the lit candles. Talked and talked and talked. Yawned and yawned. Ran and fooled around with Momo, Maki, Sashi and Pachi. Nosed around the neighbors through my window. And I think the most important of all would be---> slept and woke up early even on weekends. Last Friday, I came in for work at 8:30am which surprised everyone considering Milenio just happened and it was a Friday. Well, I guess, having no electricity at home did me some good but please, please, please, I beg of you, give me back my power... or I bludgeon you with sharp rocks and a dinosaur!

dogtag

2006-09-30T19:33:00.000+08:00

I have been wanting to get myself a dogtag like this coz military fashion is having a slight comeback and camouflage prints are just everywhere (think Tsubasa in 'Slave of Love' XD). Anyways, Mems and I went to Megamall and saw a shop which sells this and so we went and have our dogtag etched with our names on it. She had 'memsical' on hers and mine, well, as you see it. I already have my fatigue shirt, a gift given by Jen and Lowie on my birthday about a few years ago. A military-green belt bag, which I have just purchased from Kat's collections because Im having a belt bag fetish these days. I only have to get me a military Mao cap and a watergun and this soldier is ready for battle XD

Mems just filed her resignation yesterday. I think the impact to me was more than what Milenio just did. I really don't want her to go that's why I just can't be too happy to wish her well. I even told her that for my own selfish reasons, I wished her medical examinations would not pass the other company's requirements since it is the only thing she's waiting for before she'd make it official. Her reply of course, would be ..."you biatch!" hahaha Mems is one of the few people who can really make me *snort* out of laughter and go crazy with even in the tightest of deadlines. And she would always laugh even at my otherwise corny jokes. When you get tired, your humor sometimes, is failing but she made it look like its the funniest thing she ever heard. I will surely miss her but since she still will be around for the next 3 weeks, Im opting not to be emotional about it and just go about everyday like she's not leaving. But when she's not around, I'd probably be a little quiet. Kanashii da~

I wonder what's with people and moving these days? Snuffles-chan has just announced her temp move to Japan in a few days. Mems is going to a better job in a few weeks (she wishes and we wish for her as well) and ok, I just moved to a new URL. Be it location-wise or online-wise, I hope wherever we go, we still be anchored and in touch with each other. I'd like to think we are the same persons even if our locations may have changed. I said I won't be emotional so I will not be....B.....BBWA.....BWAAAAAAHHHHUHUHU!!!! *nosedrips*

catastrophe

2006-09-29T21:53:00.000+08:00

I would have started this entry with a "I'm alive!" because I haven't blogged for days but due to recent happenings in the Philippines, it would be too harsh to say so. We just had a drastic encounter with Typhoon Milenio which left Manila in severe shambles after hitting us at 110+kph. Sending the Luzon island to a massive blackout. I'm actually doing this entry at the office since I'm waiting to fully-recharged my own fone which I would be needing over the weekend. One of the few times that I could get back at my office for all the overtime work. When I left the house this morning, we saw a big mango tree had fallen on the street bringing down our electric lines thus cutting the electricity in the area. We were told that there is a possibility that we'd get our electricity back after 48 hours and that would be by the end of the weekend. I would want to rant about it considering the amount of time I'd be offline but reading the news on the net about people losing a family member or a home from such calamity, I think it would be a shame to even give out a *sigh* coz my problems are not even a tenth of what these people are going through. I am just praying that the government would be doing something soon considering how big the damage Milenio had brought us. Im also praying for recovery to come soon.

Yesterday, I came early to work to finish a deadline due in the morning. I was in a rush that my workmates were surprised to see me come that early. Unfortunately when I arrived, the electricity was fluctuating. Thank God for UPS but still, my computer wasn't able to survive through the ons and offs. My UPS gave out it's last cry before my monitor went black. So Shine just asked if we would want to go to the fotographer's studio to help sort out a truckload of stuff that were pulled out for their supposed shoot. I was too lazy to get home immediately (which was actually a big mistake coz people were stranded everywhere) so we went. At the height of the wind and gust of Milenio, we were travelling from Ortigas to Quezon Ave. and we were able to see fallen lightposts, a bus hit by a big tree and all those billboards taken down by the wind. It never bothered me a bit though except seeing men on motorcycles braving the wind that could just upturn them in minutes. I was so sure my parents would have been in a panic if they knew I was on the road while Milenio was happening so I opted not to tell them when oneechan tried to get in touch with me. I just told them Im going home soon. I only realized how big the damages were when I saw photos on newspapers and on the news. We got back to the office, ate a heavy meal and then headed home when the wind had subsided. That's when we found out how hard it was to get public transport. All the people had filled the roads waiting for one or two buses that's already filled even with standing people on the bus' aisles. Me and Shine were only fortunate to have chanced a private jeep who accomodated us and let us hitch after about 1 or 2 hours of waiting. I left the office at 3pm, got home at 5pm. Soooo damn tired that I fell asleep the soonest I got to bed. I awoke at 8pm to check my fone and found out that Shine arrived home at a later time. All I can say is atleast we arrived home safe and sound. Yes, Im happy that we are still lucky but I'm also saddened by the news of those unfortunate ones.

I decided to do an ANSWERS entry to inquiries posted on my shoutbox (tagboard) at your right. I'll do it as an entry lest Id be flooding it again with replies in 4 or 5 installments and I just recently did. Maybe that is why it's rebelling, kicking out messages when they're supposed to appear XD So this would be everything as of today, 14:41pm and everything that concerns my blog changes at one go.

MINNA, after so much thought, I decided that there is no way I'm gonna fix this blog problem but change the URL. I don't know where to find my template for 'dithersism' anymore and I probably encountered a blogger glitch or something so in order to put everything in order, I am gonna be at dithersanctum.blogspot.com by tomorrow. I will be informing the others who might have gone into confusion over my URL changes through email or tags so you guys won't get lost in the bloggerworld looking for me at dithersism or dithersism-v3. I guess that, much as I don't want to bother you guys to tinker with your templates again, you would have to update my bloglink in your sites or you might be redirected to the phantom of my dithersism blog which I have given up on dakara no updates there anymore. Sorry.

SHUTAKKY (of my own 'timespace warp' a.k.a SHUDUCK or SHUDUCK-sensei in parallel universe hehehe): thanks very much for the well thought of suggestions demo atashi wa DiTHeRs deshou? DiTHeR ja nai no? Dakara 'dithery' to 'ditherer' does not fit coz there is no 's' in it. Besides, as you said, 'dithers' meant being indecisive or agitated so if I say 'dithery' that's me being agitated XDDD and 'ditherer' meant me being the type who'd always be dithering/agitating XDDD Maa chotto abunai ne~ I call myself Dithers because my RL friends call me that not because of its meaning. But thanks very much for the help. What you think of dithersanctum.blogspot.com? Better? ^^

Also, if you want to go check past tags in my tagboard/shoutbox, just click on the 'ARCHIVE' on top of the colorful emoticons which reads: ARCHIVE-@-HELP. You can read read through the tags there since I began blogging. Witness my flooding skills hehehehe

SNUFFLES-chan: Unfortunately, DITHERSISM will be closed by tomorrow. Same as DITHERSISM-v3. I also would have liked it at that but blogger problems just won't let me have it so I got no choice but to move. So again, its gonna be dithersanctum.blogspot.com by tomorrow. I hope that would clear up the confusion. Does 'dithersity' sound like some shopping complex??? BUWAHAHAHA, sorry, I was getting a lil desperate on that one *lol*

Haaaai, I so love this tune. I have been wanting to put it even before that KI.SE.KI on v2. Just have to figure how and so I did with Kimochi v3. I just want to be really genki hearing it as I blog. Can't help but hum to it when I type ^__~

TREY, sorry to bother you again but 'dithersism-v3' is just a temporary URL coz I was trying to find a way to keep 'dithersism' but it just gave me a headache over the weekend. The URL that I'm gonna be using by tomorrow would be dithersanctum.blogspot.com (for the nth time haha). Hope you'll get this but if not, Im sure to leave you and the others a tag so you guys can still visit me on KIMOCHI v3.

Parang natatakot ako for Johnnys Jr ha. Pagbabanta ba yung, "here i come!!!"? hehehe

That's it people. Sorry for the inconvenience and all these but I hope to see you guys in dithersanctum.blogspot.com and think I would have a really good career in advertising. What do you think? *lol*

change is good

Is Firefox and IE working against each other or are they just both working against me? Is this a conspiracy? (O..o)

I've been trying to figure out the whole day as to why my blog looks different from an IE browser to Firefox browser which was never a problem to me before. B0th browsers used to display my blog just fine but on Firefox, NOW, its almost all aqua---my entry title, my entry text are in aqua. Ok, I love aqua but I'd like to see the colors I've set for this blog when I check it. Its working fine when you view it on an Internet Explorer browser though but I wouldnt want to be changing browsers every so often just to view it (I've been doing that for the past days. My computer at work has about 3 browsers already: Firefox, IE and this new one, Camino.)

Another dilemma I just discovered is that I have 2 URLs for this. The first is my usual 'dithersism' which you see when you get to my site and then there's the 'dithersism-v3' which will be what you're seeing after clicking on my comments and clicking back to KIMOCHI v3. I would have wanted to keep the first one but comments displays '0' on that when in actuality, there are comments in the entry already. Some of you guys probably found that out when you *click* on COMMENTS. The problem is I dont know why 'dithersism' still displays when its already saved as 'dithersism-v3' on my template. I know for sure that I have one template for this and whether I check on Firefox or IE, they both are saved under 'dithersism-v3'. SOOOO WEIRD. When I try to change 'dithersism-v3' back to 'dithersism' on my publishing settings, I get a "This is already taken." message and I know it is coz it's taken by none other than me but where is that template? I dont see it in my dashboard. REALLY WEIRD!!!

I might need to have a change of my blogsite URL soon even if I'm very hesitant to do it since I loved my current one already. 'Dithersism' says it all (T--T) but I think, right now, I'm not in the position to contradict the thought. I'll just look at the change of URL as the best and easiest option. Besides, it came so timely for my 2nd year of blogging. Don't worry though, I wont bother you with updating my URL in your bloglinks every year of my blogging life. I just need to do this coz Im an obssessive-compulsive person (that, im not denying hehe) and I know doing so would make me more comfortable. Dakara tasukette kudasai minna-san, I want to know if dithersity.blogspot.com sounds ok? It's like 'dithersism' too, both same number of letters and not very big difference huh?! Or how about dithersistic.blogspot.com? You know, dithers + autistic hahaha Me thinks it very fitting *lol* I'm gonna change my blog URL to one of those real soon so just holler "RYOUKAI!" or "ROGER!" in my comments box if you got that and let me know what you think. Besides, I just dont want you guys to think Im doing a Houdini on you if you don't see my blog updated over at 'dithersism' or 'dithersism-v3' URL. Although I have a feeling that 'dithersism' will be floating around the bloggerworld for eternity. Forever stucked with my HODGEPODGE entry *X-files eerie theme plays*

A lot of pretty interesting things has happened these past days and much as I want to blog about them, I just cant bring myself to post as I've been busy as well. Will just go about some of them quickly now.

1. Was supposed to have a shoot with this well-known local celebrity who probably thinks herself as the local Miranda Priestley. I heard her list of 'demands' comprised of Evian waterbottles, non-fake jewelries for the shoot and fresh flowers specially tulips among others. We were told before the day that she doesn't want us to wear any colognes or perfumes as she gets nauseous. But I did...well, just sprayed on a little but actually, I was hoping that she'd still feel a bit sick of it and she'd ask me to leave so I could get my weekend break back. If she'd hate my smell then there is no working on a Saturday! YAY! But it pushed through though, only we found out that Ms. Celebrity won't be coming coz she's not feeling well. Good thing that she isn't the only one scheduled for that shoot or I'd wasted my time waking up at 5am on a Saturday. But in fairness to her, she apologized on her show the next day though I missed it. And she expectedly shed some more (waaaay more) light on the 'not feeling well' excuse which was thoroughly discussed on the show like it's a national concern or somethin. For my local friends who are curious of Ms. Celebrity's identity, it's just easy. I think I wouldn't even have to leave you clues but if you're really, really blur, got 2 words for you: pregnancy test.

2. Last week, the Cosmo Bachelor Bash just happened so unexpectedly. I didn't even know it was on a Tuesday! I was so looking forward to going with Mel and Ralphie since we've been planning to go when we went to last year's but then, I only got to know of it on the date itself and although we could get a pass, I opted not to go since it was at Roxas Boulevard which I consider far from where Im gonna come from. That or Im just too lazy to go all the way there just to see half-nekkid men strut their stuff on the ramp while squealing women take out their digicams for souvenir fotos. To be honest, I am just so interested to see the reactions of the crowd coz the women can be sooooo funny specially when they are scampering to get a hold of whatever these naughty boys would throw out in the crowd. And YES, so naughty that one time, someone even threw his man-undies....ewwww. Definitely not up for that so I just stayed far from the ramp. Let the others have a better chance at it XD

I just noticed that this year's centerfold posterboys mostly comprised of child actors-turned-of age men. I dare not think naughty thoughts of them as I've practically seen them grow on the local TV from their kiddie shows and all. Besides, I can't really come up with any thoughts, much so NAUGHTY since I don't take too much interest in them in THAT way. Maybe my thoughts are on somebody else...not in the Philippines which you bet is very likely hehehehehe. Here are the ex-child actors who have managed to land the pages of the Cosmo Bachelors Centerfold released this month:

Stars of 'Tabing Ilog', 'TGIS' and 'Berks' came together. This serves as a fair warning to the struggling teen actors out there---make sure you'd be lifting weights and doing crunches now so you'd be able to still be in the industry in your mid-twenties XD

As for me, this one goes on the very top of MY Bachelor Centerfold--->

Or you can call it a rather good excuse to post yet another nuge Tackey on this blog. Somebody slap me before Im bewitched so we can move on to the next part now hahaha

3. These days, I've been munching on crackers. Not that Im dieting but my savings tells me that I have to. So let me just 'introduce' to you the reason for all the scrimping. I used the word 'introduce' coz now im naming this inanimate object as my tomodachi, Anne-chan, has started doing it to her ipod + ibook and her other gadgets. I will just do it for this one coz Im hoping we'd be together for a veeery long time. Definitely took out a big chunk off my savings but thanks to my otousan who's always been so nice as to chip in on this. I've been meaning to get 'him' since 'he' would be of great help for me. Hopefully, I could do more stuff with 'him'---those money-generating ones are most welcome of course! BRING THEM ON! So without further ado as I could not hold in the excitement any longer....

CLICK TO MEET 'HIM' FINALLY

So ANNE-chan, Sparky's got a friend now. Told you, I'd get him one *wink* Hopefully, we could introduce them ^__~

That's it for now. I go do a little *tweak* *tweak* with my first 2 versions now so OYASUMI!

Yes PEOPLE, there is a good excuse for not updating my blog. I wanted to end my KIMOCHI v2 with that particular entry when it's just about the right time I do this--->KIMOCHI v3.

When I started blogging, I said to myself that I'd try to come up with a new design for it every 6 months. A good creative exercise for me even if it doesn't really stray away far from what I normally do. God-willing, despite going to and fro, coming in to work and going home late nights, I still find ample time to do this. I have been working on it since around July, I think, and I stuck with my old template which I'd probably be tinkering with for the coming KIMOCHI versions in the future ( I really don't know how far I'd go). Coming up with a new layout would take more of my (depleting) extra time so Id rather stick to this, again, for now.

So why grunge and why green? Ok, I just thought it would be a smooth transition from yellow and orange of KIMOCHI v2 since Im using a lil of yellow and orange on this as well. Grunge? I kinda played a bit on the header pic, trying not to make it as clean as my previous headers but hopefully it will still strike vibrance that would give me that genki feeling----the one that would make me want to post away (^..^) I think it's working or that Tackey pic up there induces me to post another already so another post coming right up----fresh and hot!

PS: If anyone out there is viewing from a Firefox or a Safari browser, please let me know if this page displays fine. By 'fine' I mean the title of the entries is orange-ish and the content text is grey. I've been viewing this page on the latest Firefox and it shows my titles + contents in same color of aqua. I just want to know if it is just like that with other browsers or am i missing a plug-in or i needed to do something about it. When I view it on IE though, it looks ok. Arigatou. Hmmm...

PS2: SHUTAKKY, there is a reason why I changed my shoutbox color. Now you know why ^^

KIMOCHI v3 :: my feelings, moods and *ahem* hehehe
