OMOSHIROII~ TANOSHIKATTA NE~
I wanna see Tackey and Tsuba play this game coz it's gonna be a riot for sure

dame dual kakoii smash

When my friend MEL said she is a novice fangal compared to me, I protested a bit but really, I couldn't agree more HAHAHAHA~ Anyways, enjoy the scans though these are only the ones I had come up with. Just note that even if they aren't watermarked know that you can not simply claim it as your own. I wonder how the 1st Dame Con pamphlet looked like hmmm.

Ok, back to work, work, work. A fangal can't afford to waste precious time specially if you have an ENBUJOU DVD + 3 versions of 'SAMURAI' Single + (most likely) 3 versions of Best of Album + DAME CON TOUR DVD and a lot more surprises comin' up. So what am I doing here still?! *lol* JA~

old habits are hard to break

Just when I thought that I won't be back to doramarathons, I was once again proven wrong. I guess it is one of those habits which is hard to break. In the middle of waiting for another Takizawa dorama special *dithers in dire anticipation* comes...

Yes, ALEXIEL-chan, if you are reading this, 'Hana Kimi' bug bit me ^^ I recently finished watching the Taiwanese version of 'Hanazakari no Kimitachi e' and with the rest of the jdorama fans, I am still awaiting the Japanese version to be shown soon. I enjoyed watching this immensely as the theme is light, funny and very entertaining. Just the right kind I needed before I dive into the Tackeypapa dorama special that would definitely dry out my tearducts (because of the Sarcoma-stricken son *sniff* or may also be because Tackey has a wife on this and it's Kyoko Fukada *BWAAAAHHH*). I even got another friend into watching 'Hana Kimi' too (why cant it be like pyramid-ing scheme everytime I get somebody hooked on Tackey, J-pop or any series so I can just kick back, relax and go ka$$$ching2x???). As I mentioned, it was posted on DramaWiki that the Japanese version is to be shown early next month and surely, it's gonna be IKEMEN PARADISE as the tagline goes. Proof of which is this --->

Can you even tell where the girl is?! Why are they all so serious?! This from an exclusive boys' school?!?! (O..O) C'mon, how can they all look so well-behaved *lmao* We'll see soon enough. So just to have a brief background on the characters, here are the three main ones you'll definitely look out for. I've also included the actors/actresses who played them for both Taiwanese and Japanese versions:

I was familiar with Taiwan's girlband S.H.E. but I didn't know that they act as well. Was impressed by Ella Chen's acting as a guy on this. She really looked like a little boy here though there are parts where it can be denied that she's totally made up of estrogens haha~ Maki Horikita, on the other hand, I have yet to be impressed. I have only seen about 2 of her doramas and the acting, for me, is coming out bland. Maybe, she'd do better on this.

Let me just say that Wu Zun is HAWT, HAWT, HAWT. He immediately takes a spot in my uragiri list and I am not the only one saying it...anou, Alexiel-chan, we are not the only ones saying it coz there are about millions of fangirls leaving him messages on his blog. I wasn't too stalker-ish no? Not so?! haha~ He fits the role of Izumi Sano. The brooding, athletic, loner type and must I say, he's an eyecandy. But I have great faith in Oguri Shun and I know that he'd do a very good Izumi Sano too as I've seen how he easily fits into character whatever it may be.

Jiro Wang is sooooo funny. His role as Jin Xiu Yi fell in love with Ella's character and it was a riot seeing him having an internal battle of whether he'd come out of the closet coz of what he feels for his bestfriend whom he thought the whole time was a guy or denying it. I have seen him on ISWAK too and he is great at playing the third wheel whom you can't help but love. But if I were to watch the Japanese version, it would be for Ikuta Toma whom I haven't seen in any doramas except for Tsubasa's 'NEVERLAND'. I don't know how he acts now but his Seto Osamu role is not very far to imagine from Nakatsu Shuichi--- crazy, loud and impulsive as well. Atleast, here he'll have more exposure.

Right now, I can't wait to see 'Hana Kimi' Japanese version and very much looking forward to 'Hana Kimi 2' Taiwanese version. But of course, my top priority would still be....*dithers takes deep, deep breath*....'Kimi Ga Kureta Natsu ~ Ganbareba, Shiawase Ni Nareru Yo~' for very obvious reasons *stocks up on tissue rolls*

going up, up and away

   

It's been a very long time since I last visited Baguio, the Land of the Pines up north. The last time I went, an Ifugao woman at the Grotto refused my Dad's loose change after we had a souvenir photo op with them. My dad thought that the Ifugao woman must have been insulted by the act that she returned the coins. When he was walking away half-ashamed, the woman tapped my dad at the back asking for crisp P20 bills *smacks forehead* It was sad but can't really blame the woman for earning a living. Atleast, they don't beg outright for money like they do in some other places. Speaking of which, the reason for my return was this convent who came up with the perfect scheme to meet their mission without losing their dignity relying on others' kindness. They send Cordillera kids through college by making them work for it so they know the value of money. The kids make their famous fresh strawberry and ube jams on their spare time which people from everywhere come up for. But of course, the nuns made sure that school is still the top priority. It was really a noble mission and I am wishing that they'd be able to help more kids without sacrificing the integrity of it all.

Anyways, here I am standing amidst the pines at The Manor. It was a bit drizzling out after we had our lunch at Mile High but what the heck, it's a perfect spot for another photo op. When you take a day trip to Baguio, you just have to grab every chance you get in between shooting for a cover story, going around and developing a stiff neck while sleeping inside the van. But look at me, still smiling (must be the choco fondue over lunch or the fresh air around haha~). Comparing Baguio from the last time I was there, the place has improved a lot. Hey, there are more horses to ride on at Wright Park. And take note, their ribs aren't showing *lol* I refused riding before coz the horses were scarce and they don't look very healthy *guilt trip* Wanted to ride one but we just don't have the luxury of time. We passed by the Botanical Garden, Mines View Park and even took a short trip to the famed SM Mall Baguio. Personally, I think Baguio is better off without it but maybe the locals think differently coz the mall is packed. Oh well, you can't stop progress and all the bad sides to it...

Our very long day ended at 10pm with a Fantastic Four bucket meal from KFC and I headed home straight to my sweet, sweet bed. SUKI~~~

it's daddy time

Haha Calvin, I'm afraid this particular constitution is not open for any amendments. Unlike friends, you cannot choose your family, or fathers, for this matter. Speaking of amendments, being the lawyer that my father is, he'd always throw me into a debate with him. He throws us ALL in a debate with him. From why we always prepare late for something to why I'm still up at 4am in the morning on a weekday to why I didn't vote for this particular person on recent elections to why we fancy watching local showbiz talk shows. The debates just keep comin'. And did I mention that he could be the most stubborn person ever if he wants to?! Like this afternoon, he was driving the family car to Eastwood. We were stopped at the U-turn by a PUJ who made an awkward turn right in the middle of the road that it almost bumped into the car infront of it. It stopped so my dad was finding a way around it. My mom insisted that we wait until the PUJ moves forward but my dad just can't wait. We moved forward thanks and no thanks to my dad's self-proclaimed driving skills, we came close to 1 inch away from getting scratched or even dented by the PUJ. Of course, that sorta ticked my mom off but my dad just have to end the whole thing by saying, "I know what I'm doing". He missed the turn where we were supposed to go right after he mouthed those words *lmao*

No, don't get me wrong. I am not complaining. My dad has been the best. Too good for us sometimes that he drives me into a guilt sessions when I've done something wrong. I don't know about my siblings but I have come to a point in my life when I'd want to be doing more for my parents than them for me. Even if they're not asking for it, the feeling can be very rewarding. Geez, am i really growing up?! Anyways, I just read this article on today's newspaper that a recent study reveals that women who got along well with their dads as children are likely to be attracted to men who resemble their fathers. Did I mention that my dad is a self-made, hardworking, wise, responsible, yasashii man who loves little kids??? Add to that, he's lean-built despite the fact that he has a particular fondness for beer. Hmmm, should I be stating the obvious what this study just revealed or you guys would give a go figuring it out?! Oh you must be living with neanderthals if you still dun know hehehehehehe~

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DAD!!!
Im happy that you are my appointed dad for life
and I won't settle for any other...

my turn to toron~

TO-RON~ TO-RON~ TO-RON~ *lol* Can't blame Tsubasa if he goes toron all the way for his new niece. Im on it everytime looking at my nephew---one source of my joys these days. And now Gio starts to squee with glee when we make him fly and jump *kawaii* He is also beginning to turn over on his tummy and smile at us on first few minutes until he realizes he's trapped on the same position for quite a while that he starts to bob his little head and cry his baby desperate cry then Id carry him. My dad says he's starting to psyche us up. Like when I have to put him down to lie on his back, he would curl his lip and make a fake cry. I know it's fake coz he'd put on the face for a while but with no tears coming out. Just baby boo-hoo so he'd be carried. Of course, I know better but I always give in. Isn't that what aunties and uncles for?! *lmao* Adult mind manipulation at 5 months, hmmm I think he could give Darth Vader a run for his money XDDD

I wish he won't grow up too fast coz I want him to be grabbing my fingers with his baby hands and me sniffing his baby scent for a long, long time...

TO-RON~ TO-RON~ TO-RON~ TO-RON~ TO-RON~ TO-RON~ TO-RON~

PS: I chanced Tackey on Shounen Club last night and the funniest part for me would be when he was watching the Jrs practice. He suddenly turned to write something on a piece of paper. I thought he was taking notes since he's got his shiriasu face on until the camera followed what was on the paper ---- another ANPANMAN-looking doodle hahahahaha~ He's always funny like that.

~la~la~la~

I've been living with a shadow overhead. I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed. I've been lonely for so long. Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on...

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away. Just in case I ever need them again someday. I've been setting aside time to clear a little space in the corners of my mind. All I want to do is find a way back into love. I can't make it through without a way back into love.

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine. I've been searching but I just don't see the signs. I know that it's out there. There's got to be something for my soul somewhere. I've been looking for someone to shed some light. Not just somebody to just get me through the night. I could use some direction and I'm open to your suggestions.

All I want to do is find a way back into love. I can't make it through without a way back into love. And if I open my heart again. I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end. There are moments when I don't know if it's real or if anybody feels the way I feel. I need inspiration 
and not just another negotiation.

All I want to do is find a way back into love. I can't make it through without a way back into love. And if I open my heart to you, I'm hoping you'll show me what to do. And if you help me to start again. You know that I'll be there for you in the end.

That, my friends, is better heard that read so dozou ---> DiTHeRs' present LSS . A little more of this and Im on the road to my emo recovery (^^). Monday blues~
