Dammit, those are 45minutes of my precious life that i can never get back. Minutes i could've spent discovering the solution to global warming, lasting world peace and world hunger. whenever i'm in there, i can literally feel the minutes of my life ticking by. why are there no other stores that sell cheap CDs?! with the profit that they're making, you'd think they'd be able to up their customer service. but noooooh. It's so obvious with the faces of CD-R king employees that they'd rather be elsewhere....like it's such a f*ckin' pain for them to sell you those cheap IT peripherals. well, i don't expect you to like your job but can't you at least fake it when you're in front of a customer? uggghh! kung hindi ko lang kelangang maburn yung sandamakmak na JE downloads sa laptop ko! >_< why does buying blanks DVDs have to be such a goddamn painful task?!

T.T Dance ng HaM (with matching dance tlg), Namida-kun Sayonara ng Johnnys at Loveless ni Pi.

Ewan ko ba kung bakit.

O cia, eto, mag-lo-love/Ai Otsuka na ko ng maiba naman (tpos balik uli sa Namida-kun XD)

But sometimes, IT JUST SEEMS SO FRIGGIN REAL.

(that even I, am bothered.)

It's rehearsals, you two. THERE ARE NO FANS AROUND. Why do "fan service"?!

 Just bought the Sarah Dessen book gift set...as a gift to myself. haha! It has three of her most popluar books: All About Forever, This Lullaby and Just Listen. Natakot kasi ko dahil pagtingin ko sa NBS kahapon, two sets na lang yung avilable. Baka maunahan pa ko ng iba noh! Now, all I need is the time to read these...

On other book news, I think all Twilight titles are on sale at 10% off at NBS branches until the end of this month. So in case you've yet to complete the series, now is a good time to buy any of the books you still need.

And ohmigod, "Splendor" the 4th installment of the Luxe Series is out! If I'm not mistaken, Elizabeth is back in this book.

And another ohmigod: ANNE RICE HAS A NEW BOOK!!! "Angel Time" from a new series, the seraphim series! gasp, my hard bound na sa NBS! At shet, mukang ang astig na naman ng plot!!!!

"I have always been fascinated by the idea of angels--these perfect beings who are God’s messengers, sinless, bold, and unfathomable to the human mind. I was deliciously challenged to be biblically correct about them, and theologically correct: to present Malchiah as truly perfect, yet sent to interact with my hero Toby, and commissioned therefore to take a human body and reflect human emotions and respond to Toby’s human emotions." - Anne Rice
http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Time-Seraphim-Anne-Rice/dp/1400043530

shet, must buy na naman to!

that November 14 is gonna be epic.

But first, I gotta finish my business plan.

or else...

FT Island for Best Rock Act? LULZ LULZ LULZ. In the same category as Seo Taiji and Cherry Filter? LULZ ULZ LULZ.

Ok, I know I have friends who are FT Islanders (or whatever their supporters are called) so let me explain myself. I have no hate for the group. In fact I find some of their members attractive and mildy entertaining. But look at it this way. In the US, The Jonas Brothers or Click5 would never be in the running for the Best Rock Act against Kings of Leon or 30Seconds to Mars ayt? Ayyyt.

Another cracktastic category: DANCE MUSIC AWARD
Dance music award – 2NE1 (I Don’t Care), 2PM (Again & Again), So Nyeo Shi Dae (Gee), Super Junior (Sorry), KARA (Honey)
IMHO, only Sorry Sorry deserves to be in that category. And not because of my Suju bias, but because all the other songs aren't club-danceworthy. I'd be flaring up too if it was Suju's Noraego which got nominated. Like seriously, can you imagine anyone at a club dancing to Honey?!

And THIS. Another fuckery.
House& Electronic music award – Brown Eyed Girls (Abracadabra), Son DamBi (Saturday Night), Clazziquai (Love Again), 4Minute (Muzik), GDragon (Heartbreaker)
^ Just because they put electronic phasers in their song doesn't give these other acts to be in the same category as Clazziquai. I love 4Minute & GD, but srlsly? HOUSE?! ELECTRONIC?! Paul Van Dyk and Benny Benassi would not approve.

And it's very notable that in these Korean music award shows, they have more emphasis on Best Male Group, Female Group, Mixed Group etc instead of Best Rock Artist. Best RnB artist etc. Can you imagine the MTV Awards having a Best Mixed Group category? XD and mixed what? gender? nationality? social class?

But I looove this category:
Hip hop group award – Dynamic Duo (Dead Guy), Drunken Tiger (Monster), LeeSsang (헤어지지 못하는 여자, 떠나가지 못하는 남자), Outsider (Alone), Epik High (Wannabe)]
^ I know that Drunken Tiger is beyoooond epic. But I love Epik High and Outsider too! (but uhm, he's not a group.)

And here's one more thing:
"Speciality: Participation by overseas artistes."
Uhm, like who? SJM? THSK? Wonder Girls? C'mon, give me someone like Lee Hom or Utada Hikaru before you start pimping that you've got an ASIAN Music Awards.

Again, lemme clarify, I loooove Kpop...for its catchiness and its pretty boys amd girls and their cute outifts and their crack in vareity shows and stuff...but, I don't kow...I think they've really got to tone down the "Idol" aspect of their music scene for people to start taking it seriously. I mean, they've got a pretty respectable Film industry with really talented and respectable actors and directors. So it would be nice if you see more...uhm, actual artists dominating their music scene. Because they have a LOT of talented musicians. They're not just as visible as the idol groups. And yes, I know these awards shows are more of a popularity contest, but still, it would be nice to see a shift in the mindset of the korean music audience.

And again, I hate to make comaprisons, but in Japan, you don't see NewS and Morning Mosume winning in music awards shows, ayt? (uhm, but Yamapi does win those Grand Prix best actor awards *cringe* and Perfume did get nominated at the Japanese MTV Awards...*sigh*)

Ok, maybe I should get started on my homework now *facepalms*

Nenok from Berna. I tag...anyone and everyone na gustong magbalik tanaw sa 90s XD

At pampasaya lang ng inyong maulan na Biernes...

I started watching Jdos back in 2005 I think...with the very first one being Takuya Kimura 19s 1cBeautiful Life 1d followed by Gokusen 1 & 2, Nobuta wo Produce, 1 Litre of Tears & Engine. And I 19ve never stopped since then. I knew I 19d seen a LOT 26but I never really realized just how many jdos I 19ve seen until I started listing them down. A grand total of 55. It would 19ve actually been more than that if I actually finished all the stuff that I keep downloading XD

For Korean and Taiwanese dramas that I 19ve actually finished, I can probably count them by hand since they 19re a lot longer and I only have a handful of fave Korean/Taiwanese actors. And plot-wise, I kinda feel that they 19re pretty much the same and those with pretty unique storylines often don 19t contain much eye candy so I can 19t be bothered to watch them either. I haven 19t even watched (and don 19t plan to) recent K-drama hits like Boys Over Flowers and 26well, I don 19t even know which dramas are popular over in Korea right now.

So yeah, here 19s my Jdo list to date:

55.   Akai Ito (Junpei Mizobata)

Not surprisingly, 78% of the jdos I 19ve finished star at least one JE actor, with Jdorama Emperor Takuya Kimura leading the list with 10 jdos, followed by Yamapi with 8.

But what 19s interesting are the likes of Eita, whom I 19ve seen in 4 jdos, none of which have him as a lead star. I mean, I 19ve never specifically downloaded a series with the intentions of watching Eita 26he just always happens to be there too. Hiroki Narimiya is a combination of both. I 19ve actually seen more Nari jdos than Takki, Ryo or Matsujun jdos because he 19s another guy who happens to be in a looooot of dramas. Although I did watch Ima Ai Ni Yukimasu specifically because of him.

Here 19s the breakdown:

Takuya Kimura 13 10 (w/ 4 unfinished)

Yamapi 13 8 (w/ 2 unfinished)

Hiroki Narimiya 13 7

Takki 13 6 (w/ 3 unfinished)

Uban 13 6

Oguri Shun 13 6

Ryo 13 6 (w/ 1 unfinished)

Matsujun 13 4 (w/ 3 unfinished)

Satoshi Tsumabuki 13 4

Matsuda Shota 13 4 (w/ 1 unfinished)

Eita 13 4

Fujiki Naohito - 4

Yosuke Kobuzuka - 4

Akanishi Jin 13 3

Kamenashi Kazuya 13 3

Uchi Hiroki 13 3

Ikuta Toma 13 3 (w/ 1 unfinished)

Junpei Mizobata 13 3 (w/ 2 unfinished)

Hiro Mizushima 13 3 (w/ 3 unfinished)

Yamada Takayuki - 3

Miura Haruma 13 3

Tomoya Nagase 13 2 (w/ 2 unfinished)

Nino 13 2 (w/ 1 unfinished)

Yamada Ryusuke 13 2

Koki 13 2

Takeru Sato 13 2

Yosuke Yamamoto 13 1 (w/ 4 unfinished)

Sho Sakurai 13 0 ( 3 unfinished)

As for actresses, my fave Jdo actress would have to be Ayase Haruka. I 19ve watched 3 jdos because she was in it. But I 19ve actually seen more Erika Toda jdos because she 19s been cast with a lot of JE boys in dramas. While with the case of Yuki Nakama, it 19s all because of the Gokusen series.

Erika Toda 13 6

Ayase Haruka 13 4

Yuki Nakama 13 3

Koyuki 13 3

Ueno Juri 13 3

Matsushima Nanako 13 3

Mizukawa Asumi 13 3

Masami Nagasawa 13 2 (w/ 1 unfinished)

Anne Suzuki -  2 (w/ 2 unfinished)

Kashi Yuu 13 2 (w/ 1 unfinished)

Kou Shibasaki 13 2

There are other actors/actresses that I 19ve probably seen in more than 1 jdo (like Hibari from Hana Kimi & Mei-chan, Aibu Saki in Gambatte Ikkimashoi, Buzzer Beat, Abe Hiroshi in Antique Cake Store & Change, Nakao/Taka-chan in Hana Kimi, Puzzle, Nodame & Akai Ito) but I didn 19t tally them since they 19re not my fave actors anyway or the roles they play in the jdos I 19ve watched aren 19t that siginificant.

As I mentioned earlier, I 19ve also DLed/bought/been given/borrowed a lot of Jdos but for one reason or another I never finished/have yet to finish them:

1.       Grand Tribe (Takuya Kimura)

2.       Long Vacation (Takuya Kimura)

3.       Love Generation (Takuya Kimura)

4.       Gift (Takuya Kimura)

I know the list seems long but since it's scattered over a period of 4 yrs 26that's an average of about 14 jdos a year. 

I'm in dire need of some good music to listen to. Doesn't matter which language or genre...but maybe no kpop or JE music for the meantime because I'm pretty much aware of the new releases within those genres and there isn't anything new that catches my interest right now.

For Japanese music, the last group I really liked is One OK Rock, reco'd by Mel. So if you know any other group with that kind of sound...or anything similar to Funky Monkey Baby, Monkey Majik or Radwimps, i'd love to hear them too. And of course, if there's any other female artist out there who sounds like Ai Otsuka, Mika Nakashima, Utada Hikaru or Nana Kitade, lemme know too :)

Oh, and J-urban stuff too...something like June?

For Western stuff, I'd been overdosing on My Space artists over the past few months (which is really a goldmine for new, really interesting music) and several releases from not-so-mainstream (though I know this is debatable) groups like NeverShoutnever!, Swimming with Dolphins, Owl City, Lights, A Rocket to the Moon, Scene Aesthetic, PlayRadioPlay, Breath Carolina and Nickasaur! (I totally loooove his stuff. Can't help but smile and bop when hearing his songs). I was also listening to some sorta-mainstream pop/rock like My Favorite Highway, The Macabees, We Are Scientist, We the Kings and Hey Monday. So yeah, anything of the electro-indie-lofi stuff or just some really pleasant melodious rock, I welcome them :)

But since I listen to almost anything, feel free to surprise me ^^ If you've got some wierd new discovery of some obscure genre like Vampire Weekend's "Upper-East-Side-Soweto" sort of music, I'd give it a try too. Or even if it's something totally pop or mainstream or even cheesy, as long as it's good fun stuff, I'm up for it :)

As for one reco of my own, Sugrafree's new album "Mornings and Airports" is out now. It's Sugarfree, so even if i've only listened to a few tracks right now, I'm sure the album's hella good ^^
