Flashfloods did strike Manila and not merely because of SAMURAI season (on my part) but because of Dodong and Egay season. It's time I take out my SUPER UMBRELLA. A plaid umbrella in a size close to a beach umbrella which I take with me anywhere there is a heavy, pouring rain. I just dun want to get wet under the rain specially if it's icky wet. I call this umbrella my bestest buddy for the rainy season but Memsh calls it a "waiting shed" hahaha I think 5 of me can squeeze in right under it *lol* Cleo told me I could use it to pick up really cute guys who are stranded coz she says she used to do that with her crush. Unless the guy is as cute as Tackey or any of those in my uragiri list, naaaah~

The big SOUP fan that I am, I am already missing 'The Soup Kitchen' at SM Megamall. I love sipping hot soup, creamy or clear, specially in this kind of weather. I dun mind getting my tongue (partly) burned as long as I feel the warmth of hot soup in my tummy. It was one of my comfort foods but too bad they just closed down their most accessible branch. Sayang...

Now, the family is stocking up on Downey. Having little sunshine these days with all this rain, we are just trying to avoid that weird, musty smell off our freshly laundered clothes. It may be gloomy but at the least, our clothes should smell nice. Now the mere mention of Downey, I am reminded of Tsubasa (^,^)

Currently stranded at the office as I type coz we're trying to avoid the traffic. One thing I hate about the rain is that it always come hand in hand with traffic in our very own third-world country. Just the other day, people were stranded in the streets almost occupying half the highway waiting for their ride. No PUJs, no buses, not even cabs available coz all of them were already filled with people standing. So people, stay at home when you have got no business outside and it's raining this hard. Save yourself from chasing cars!


Funny that it is pouring cats and dogs here but in Tackeyland which is just in the same continent as the Philippines, it is like this --->

I think the water level in that wave pool is originally knee-high until all those people started jumpin' in hahaha~ SNUFFLES-chan, you there?! V(^.^)V

And now to a different rain but still Rain nonetheless → Alona may have discovered Bi/Rain late because Shine and I infected her with 'Full House' and 'Sang Doo' but her Bi virus strain has spread into an alarming one as she is now singing along out loud to Rain's songs on her iTunes. The catch is she doesn't really know the lyrics but she just murmurs, hums and mouths words according to what she heard. It's rather amusing to hear her as it brings back memories of my own singing-Korean-songs-out-loud-without-knowing-what-Im-actually-saying days. So what am I to do but feed her more of my Bi clips and pull her in the Bi addiction like a super hoover machine hehehe~

Because of this weather, my weekdays seem longer and my weekends, shorter. Maybe because I sleep longer on weekends. Just last weekend, I woke at 3pm thinking it was just 11am *tsk* Such sloth! teehee~

"Splash," said a raindrop
As it fell upon my hat;
"Splash," said another
As it trickled down my back.
"You are very rude," I said
As I looked up to the sky;
Then another raindrop splashed
Right into my eye!~

~yakusoku~

YAKUSOKU --- Same song, different versions. One is more upbeat. The other, more emo. But again, each says something about our dear Tackey and Tsubasa.

Tackey’s ‘YAKUSOKU ~Flowers Song~’ has two versions of him gracing our screens as he walks against drafts of different sceneries, mostly of the cityscapes. The upbeat version of this song matches his strides as he sings toward the camera with occasional digital rose/sakura petals appearing on the screen. Shots of him shifting from close-ups to body shots and back. So what does it say about Tackey?! Like how Tsuba did his photobooklet for Calendar of 2007-2008, you can expect that Tackey will always be generous to show his different sides on it which Tackey fans are very much familiar with. For this PV, he opted to show his casual self as opposed to his glitzy kakkoii self. Both of which are walking the same roads which maybe visually suggesting that TACKEY IS TACKEY whatever side it is we see.

Tsuba’s ‘YAKUSOKU ~World Wing~’ PV has Tsubasa, in black and white, walking away from a truck parked on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere (well technically it’s somewhere outside the city XD). Wearing a black tank plus his signature pained expression sometimes singing along the song or sometimes not gives it an air of poignancy. His PV is so fluid that the camera only followed him through probably less than 100m walk straight. The PV only validates that Tsubasa is really a no-fuss type of a person. He goes by what you see is what you get. But his simplicity is always accompanied by great style. What coincidence that Tsuba being a big fan of U2, this PV reminds me a little of U2’s ‘The Sweetest Thing’ which I love.

Though this two PVs don’t really connect as what they did to ‘Ki.Se.Ki’ and ‘Get Down’ during Hatachi days, there is still some things which are common on both. Aside from the kakkoii factor, TxT seem to like walking a lot *LMAO*. But we know who got really tired from all the walking (^,^) →



PS: One thing I love about Samurai JACKET A among others is this little something on the menu page. Clicking on Tackey and Tsubasa's faces reveal each of them doing a swift and suave samurai move →

How cool is that?! It was just about 3 sec short but I kept clicking on Tackey - Tsubasa - Tackey - Tsubasa - Tsubasa - Tackey - Tsubasa - Tackey ^^ and hear the *SWOOOOOSH*

headline of the week

In short, how are you guys doing?! Me? Well, let's just say Im joining in the droolfest. *CHOMPS* on those Takizawa arm muscles. AGUA POR FAVOR!!!!!!!! hehehe~
