don't kill me just because this is longOkay, time for a real post?
I feel like writing things in bullets
I.
Um, okay, first one. As some of you may know, my sister had this impulse of going to Hong Kong two days before the actual trip. Thankfully, it turned out to be fun, yet of course still tiring. Three days are short after all. And because I had to take a leave for one day at work, I spent those three short days looking for souvenirs over friends at work. I don't know why but I felt guilty of taking a vacation when I know it's a school/work day. XD
And well, the reason was a break-up. I won't get into details since I'm not involved but, I guess that's the power of emotions, right?
Now she has decided to quit internship (hopefully for just a while) and go to the States for a month. I'm envious that she could go, but meh, oddly I don't want to go. Not the right time? *shrugs*
II.
On the lighter side of things, she has officially started fangirling Sho. ROFL. XD
To tell you the truth, she has liked Sho from the start (and by start I mean when she started recognizing Arashi individually, lol).
I actually find it amusing (in a way) that I don't have much Sho!fangirls in my flist, and I have A LOT in real life. Yes, people like Jenny (my college best friend) and my sister, for instance. The other funny thing is that Jenny likes Sho mainly because he's smart and responsible, and my sister likes Sho because he's funny and silly.
So maybe that's why Sho maintains this kind of contrast, in terms of personality. XD
On a much random note: I want to write/read a fic where Sho is my silly!sidekick, just because I know having a sidekick/BFF like that silly Keio boy we know and love is the best thing EVAR. :3
III.
I'm pretty late on this, but. I adore 5x10. So much.
It's different from Sketch, because Sketch refers to a lot of things they had done and encountered for the first 5 years -- which, of course, makes the song personal -- yet you know, 5x10 deems more personal because it's how they feel after these ten years. The melody makes me feel nostalgic and reminiscent too, for some reason.
And I completely understand why it makes you cry. I can't explain it, but whether it's the meaning or the melody, you know it aims to touch your heart with their gratitude, that despite their imperfections, they have gone through ten years because of their fans.
Did I mention it makes me love them more? ;_____;
(I have a feeling that I'd feel guilty if ever they would be a time *knock on wood* that I would move on to other fandoms. I really really really wish that I wouldn't.)
IV.
Hmm. Kokuritsu? I haven't heard much except the
As Nicole told me, why aren't we in Japan right now? ;o;
V.
Erm, sorry to jump moods and topics, but I just have to let this out. You may skip it if you want.
It has been more than a month since I talked about *him*. During that period, I'm happy to say that we have become good friends -- as in there is already no doubt whatsoever that we are -- to the point that even I am contented with how we are. (Mind you, that's the first time I've ever felt contented with the way things are.)
We often hungout together: breakfast, lunch, snacks (can you tell we like to eat? XD), even a movie once; and we also talk all the time, also via text and IMs, things like that.
But remember that this last month was our last month with this "scenario", if you will. He's been an intern since January, and his stint will end on November. Since my full-year internship is cut into three separate terms (versus his one 10-month stint), my next stint will be on January next year, meaning this was the only time we're going to be interns at the same time. And honestly, I was afraid. Of the end? Of everything after this? I don't know, all I knew was I was afraid.
The funny thing was, actually, do you remember when I said that he was nice, gentlemanly, bla bla? He is nice all right, but being friends with him meant that I needed to tolerate his weirdness/tendency to annoy me. Srsly, he was sooo
So what does that "annoyance" thing have to do with my fears? Well. A week before my last week, there were some instances where I had convinced myself that I wasn't going to miss him (as silly as that sounds in itself) because I found him annoying most of the time anyway. What's odd is that during that period, I did feel that I would miss him. I mean, I was less "emotionally unstable" last week, when it was in fact, my last week at work. Safe to say that even though there are things that have made him seem any less attractive to me, for some reason, which I still have no idea up until now, I have liked him. Yes, even if we're actually friends now.
This is the first time I've told anyone about this next part. It happened last Thursday, my last-ish day at work (second-to-the-last day, to be precise), while we were headed home with four of our other friends. The two of us were walking side-by-side, when he suddenly held out his hand:
"Jess, nice meeting you." He said that to me as I dumbfoundedly shook his hand.
That was the "farewell" I had been waiting for all week. I can't say that I was disappointed, or contented, but I was sure of one emotion: I felt sad. (Can be explained by my PMS too, btw. XD) But you know, I felt like crying when I was on my way home. To think I'm used to seeing him everyday. Hmm. Maybe I will miss him.
I have only but one wish: I hope this isn't the end. :)
(And do I have to mention that I will go to work tomorrow? Who wants to hear the "end" of that? XD)
*cough* Sorry about that. I still blame it on my hormones.
Good night lovelies, will check on you guys soon! ♥♥♥

for that diva that we loveUm yes. I'm still alive, if ever you are wondering. Long paper is finished
Of course, there is a reason why I'm posting right now... although I should've two days ago for some emo-ness I have to convey. Maybe I should do that tomorrow, yeah?
FOR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS.
Stay as diva as you are because we love you that way. Right? ;)
*-----*
Well, since I have resorted to doing this birthday post
[During lunch today]
Me: *gasp!* It's Jun's birthday today! Happy birthday Jun!
Sister: Happy birthday, Jun!
Mom: *obliviously as she takes a bite* Happy birthday Jun.
Dad: Will you celebrate his birthday, like you did with Nino's?
Sister: I wish I was there when you celebrated Nino's birthday. :(
(Btw, my mom doesn't know who the hell Jun is. So. Yeah. XD)
♥♥♥?

meme~Just to let you know, I'm in my last two weeks of my first internship stint (the next one will still be on January), so I'm quite busy with the term-end requirements plus my actual work. And actually, as much as I'd like this to end, I'm going to miss the friends I've made over at work. I feel sad just thinking about it.
And so, just because it's Nicole's birthday last week, I'll do the meme I requested from her... almost two weeks ago. XD
Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your
1) "Nino (I know you want to do this)"
Do I? LOL, kidding aside, I wouldn't probably shut up about my favorite Arashi member even if I wanted to. Srsly. Well, the only thing I'm going to tell you about Neens is that although I didn't exactly know why I came to like him -- aside from the pwnsome Gimmick Game -- somehow it all came together for me. The sarcasm, the humor, even the ultra-rare emo/HR tendencies, called me biased but there's no way I would change favorites at this rate. And by favorites I mean not only in Arashi.
... okay I'll shut up now. :P
2) "Favorite TV Show"
My favorite shows have a common theme -- they all make me laugh and think and fall in love -- but I could say that my very first ultimate addiction would be House. :) I remember being so addicted to this that I wanted to list down all the favorite quotes, favorite scenes, even all the unfamiliar medical terms. Basically at one point my world revolved around this show. And I admit, maybe it's because I idolize the character House so much, especially for his imperfections. Favorite character though: James Wilson. Yes, I still go for the knight-in-shining-armor type. XD
3) "Pets"
We don't exactly call them pets, more like house guards, because my parents are worried that we might get fleas from them or maybe simply that these dogs do not want taking baths. LOL. I remember my sister having a pet though; I can say she's the real dog-lover among us. As of now, I think we have around 6 or 7 dogs roaming around our yard. There's only one girl, because those
4) "Friends (as in your friends something about them)"
You probably know this, but yes, I'm not the social type. I know Librans are supposed to be "social creatures", but for some reason I'm the socially inept type. :P But, somehow, I am thankful to have met such wonderful people. People who appreciate who I am and leave all prejudice behind. Admittedly, I only have a few very close friends (like two in grade school, two in HS, a few in college, that kind of pattern). I think what all my friends have in common is that they understand my fangirl craziness and general weirdness. LOL. ♥
5) "Books :)"
Let me just say this flat-out: I'm a very slow reader. XD One of the reasons why I don't finish many books like most book-nerds, although I really adore reading. I think I'm the type to read little-by-little. As for the origin of this, my mom and my sister are huge bookworms, especially mystery-murder types (Perry Mason, those written by Agatha Christie, etc.). Which maybe influenced my fandom tastes as well, like watching murder-mystery shows or mystery ones in general. What's funny is that most people's impression of me is that of a book-nerd. XDb
... I'm supposed to do a looooong paper (due on THURSDAY) but yes, I'm procrastinating. Welcome back to your old world, Jessie. XD

in the sudden turn of shocking eventsAs my sister wanted,
We (my sister, my dad and I) are going to Hong Kong tomorrow evening.
And come back on Monday.
When did she ask us?
Today.
I don't understand her sometimes.
Whenever she breaks down -- crying, saying she doesn't want to go to work anymore -- she does insane things.
But this is by far the most insane thing she has come up with.
I don't want to criticize her, but.
This is clearly ridiculous.
I'm actually surprised that my mom allowed her.
Oh well.
See you lovelies on Monday then.

being this moody is not an excuseLet's start with good news, so we don't have to end up giving out the bad news altogether. :D
Some of you probably already know this, but when I announced it at the time, it was still tentative -- and my mom still needed a little more convincing. But now, we're solidifying (for lack of
I'M GOING TO JAPAN. FOR A WEEK. WITH MY SISTER. ON DECEMBER.
I actually like the idea. Christmas, ergo winter. It's humiliatingly true that people from the South are amazed when it's winter-time in the North. Even though I've already experienced snow before. 8DSo, a question quickly comes to mind. Does it snow in Tokyo?
But ah, never mind that for now. Luckily, a friend has already extended help -- she's still here in the Philippines now -- and she said she'd be in Hachioji. She's my only hope for a reliable travel guide so far, lol.
And then, because I haven't done this in a while...
From Cin! ♥
Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter.
Then, write 10 things that you love starting with that letter.
Post the list in your journal.
1. Radio. Well, actually it's more of listening to music. The only radio station I enjoy listening to is the one that plays old music. So I'm not updated with the new ones. I always feel nostalgic and I love that feeling. :D
2. Speaking of, Rock n' Roll. The Beatles is the easiest to relate here. I clearly think they're a great musical influence. And really, I'm more of a rock person rather than rap/hiphop/rnb person. Honestly, Sho is the only "rapper" whom I can appreciate wholeheartedly. :3
(Warning, the following three items are fangirling-related... people. LOL.)
3. James Roday. If you're watching Psych, you most likely recognize him. If you aren't,
4. Robert Sean Leonard or RSL. Ah, one of my heartthrob-type crushes. :3 He grew on me upon watching House, despite not being my favorite character the first time I became a fan. Well, obviously he's good-looking, so. Dr. James Wilson is still my favorite oncologist, whatever happens. XDb
5. Ryan Stiles. From Whose Line is it Anyway? Fame of course. To say the least, one of the people who have inspired me since I was younger, believe it or not.
6. Please forgive me for this one -- Writing. (Yes, I relied on the sound. XD) Since I was a kid, I've been finding ways to have an outlet for creativity; painting/drawing failed, instruments failed, and so there was writing. I've been doing it since I was first year in high school, and so far it's going well. :)
7. Romance. I'm a hopeless romantic. Enough said.
8. Reunions. I admit, I don't like parties. But if it's with everyone I know (and love), then why should I have a problem with that? And reunions also always give me that nostalgic feeling. :)
9. Rice. This is my being Asian. XD
10. ROCK YOU. One of my most favorite Arashi songs. :D
Ah~ my head's been killing me for a week now. ;___; I need to stay away from the computer... if I could. Work requires it. ;___; Good thing there's a non-working holiday on Wednesday.
And. May Corazon Cojuangco Aquino Rest in Peace. She was a great leader for us Filipinos.
