Now I've said I liked 'M'...but thing is, nowadays, I feel my stomach turn at the mere image of Ayumi Hamasaki. I just...dont...like...her. *brr* What brought about this rant? I just finished watching MTV Taiwan's Jpop Top 10. After about 3 weeks on number 1, Utada's been ousted by Hamasaki.
For j-pop fans in Indonesia, Hikaru Utada's new album is available at Aquarius. I also found some Every Little Thing and Seiko Matsuda CDs! Dandy!
MTV Taiwan also shows Korean music videos, by the way. I caught H.O.T's 'Outside Castle' and what I think is their newest single. I'm chasing after the latter, though I don't have much to go with as I cannot read or understand Chinese. All I can say is that it's a love ballad, and it's for either a Korean soap opera, a movie, or TV movie.
Oh yeah, stupid Napster doesn't cough up any results for H.O.T or High Five of Teenagers. Wonder why? O_o
I also caught the short advertisements for Kpop band Shinhwa on MTV Taiwan, and a music video of them! Catchy, catchy song.
Have fun in Japan, sensei-sama! Waah, I envy you! ;_; With sensei-sama in Japan, my closest friend Misats in Paris...and I'm stuck here! Nyah!
Tomorrow, I hope to upload a new layout for this lil blog. It depends if my sister hoards the comp or not. @.@ Like Noelle, I'm up against my family over usage of the computer. My sister's addicted to Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfiction, my mom has work to do, and they both accuse me of monopolizing the computer. Due to local political tension, mom thought it best that I stay home from school today. If any demonstrations break out later in the day, it may get violent, and I pass by the Indonesian Marines base on the way back from school. So for the sake of safety, I'm staying home.
Now Jakarta International School and a few other international schools here officially called off classes in anticipation of chaos. My school on the other hand - has an idiotic "oh school's open but it's really up to you to come or not". -_-' Why can't we get a simple 'yes, there's classes' or 'no, there's no classes'? Though I have heard that most of my classmates and schoolmates are staying home.
Hnh. Political demos here, and more political nitpicking in my happy home country.
What am I going to do for today? Read the new books I purchased from Aksara yesterday (the Harry Potter textbooks especially!), mess around on the computer...and somewhere along the line, do my homework.
I haven't been online, have just barely caught up with my mail, and am only on now to download Every Little Thing's 'Graceful World'. As soon as I finish downloading that, I'm getting off.
I've just been more tired than usual nowadays. My afternoons are spent mostly sleeping, if not chasing after my dogs. School's started again too...and it's just the usual routine of classes, stuff to do, projects to submit. Ugh.
Still downloading. Yawn.
With that useless filler done, I'll continue onto a semi-important filler: NJ-kun! Get your bloody eyes off this text! Forget the url, forget anything and everything you see here! Scat! *overlysweet voice* Please?
Bleh. The risks of using my real name on the net...good gracious. ^^'
About Ayumi Hamasaki...wow, she's gained just a little bit more weight from the last time I've seen of her (on the Indonesian anime magazine 'Animonster').
Quite the day for Eastern pop music. This morning I caught Fly to the Sky during one of Arirang's music breaks, and before dinner I stumbled upon a rerun of the that music show that had Koyote as the opening act (singing 'JaJon Shim' of course). I managed to sit through about 3 more groups that performed after them...though the only group that held my attention after Koyote was the boyband Ditto. Oh, that reminds me - must download some mp3s of them. Too bad H.O.T. didn't perform (or maybe I missed them when I went down to dinner) - I hoped that they would.
Now for the random BBS:
Oh Megumi! I LIKE the new layout of yer blog! :D
Lucky WhiteCat-san was able to get started on a Harry Potter fanfic. *.* Gambatte!
Speaking of Potter...I've slacked on my html, again. ^^;;; Woboy. Anyone else getting errors whenever they view this pita?
More Harry Potter fandom babbles! I was emailed a url to this wonderful Harry Potter fanstrip, Mana Overboard. Very funny, Do enjoy!
I have finally broke my designers block, and just whipped up an index for my upcoming Harry Potter page. I'll upload it once I finish the rest of the contents so people don't have to complain about dead links.
Another song I highly recommend to put on loop and annoy the people around you with, 'JaJon Shim' by K-pop group Koyote. Very catchy, very bouncy, very scary. Yay.
Yesterday being Good Friday, I was pretty busy as Mom had the M's over and I was entertaining Pao and Rox while the adults did their own share of chattering at the dinner table. Pao, Rox, Mica and I watched the updated version of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' which well, we didn't take too seriously. I recall one blog commented that it was shot like a bad music video, and it was; Jesus Christ cannot sing, Simon has a better voice than him, a pity he only had one song. Mary Magdalene was okay, but nothing compared to Yvonne Elliman.
Now for what people call random BBS:
Rei-chan, I do like your new layout! ^^
WhiteCat, even I'd like to write a Harry Potter fic...but it's pretty hard to pick at the characters and try to wring out some original plot to go with them. Gambatte! I'm sure you'd churn out something good!
There's one scenario I've fancied putting in writing, something about Harry, Hermione, Ron, the Weasely twins and Draco getting drunk. Then afterwards maybe a game of 'Truth and Dare', since I'm so awed by a Harry-Draco pairing...Draco kissing Harry doesn't sound like TOO bad an idea...oh, and there must be something between Hermione-Ron!
All I have is a title, and a concept. Yet I lack the vision...woe!
-_-;
Oh well. *grin* WhiteCat-san sent me the url for the Harry Potter fan art ring. I am just drooling over the pretty, pretty art! I'm surfing this one at the moment. That's a link to the main page, just go here if you want to be immediately directed to the Harry Potter fan art.
While we're on the subject of Harry Potter, My Mom informed me that Book 5's been delayed. Waah!
Heck, now I'm becoming motivated with all my web projects. About time eh? Now, onto htmling the Potter mainpage and figuring out how to deal with the fan art submissions.
If I hear Hikaru Utada's 'Can You Keep a Secret' one more time, I will scream. Really. :P My feet also hurt from doing rounds on the Dance Dance Revolution machine at Pondok Indah earlier today. Nyah.
There's Ruroni Kenshin manga in Bahasa Indonesian! I found volume 1 but it was a very bad copy (some pages were upside down O_o) - so I just bought volume 2. Hey, Oniisama, want one? ^o^
My Card Captor Sakura manga is complete! I found and purchased number 3! Yes! Hikaru Utada's 'Can You Keep a Secret' is number 2 ("Ack! It's Bicentennial Man gone worse!"), and L'arc~en~ciel's 'Honey' is number 1.
'Honey' isn't Laruku's newest single, whats it doing on number 1? Lah, no biggie. I enjoyed watching the video, flubbing up my Japanese as I tried to sing along while jumping on my mom's bed.
Alright, please tell me why anyone would search on yahoo for 'There was a problem accessing your mailbox'? ^^;
Last night I came across this gorgeous Zhang Ziyi webpage. Wow. She is pretty. She can kick butt. I think I'm becoming a bit obssessed with her. Whoo.
Now I'm considering expanding my Harry Potter doujinshi search page to archive anime-style fan art. Any objections?
I'd like to plug for my dear friend Chikara's page, because she's a fantabulous artist and has a LOT of fan art based off a WK fanfic we've been working on. ^^ Chikara, you owe me the Fujimiya lollipop for this plug! ;p Especially for Jackie Chan. Bwahahahahaha! Thank you WhiteCat-san for the reccommendation!
Listening to the song makes me want to watch Mulan again. The movie was below my expectations, but I'd just watch it for the sequence 'I'll Make a Man Out of You' - that's the only scene there which really impressed me, truth be told.
From this blog, I came across this page for Indonesian anime gatherings. Interesting da. :) I seem to be coming across more Indonesian anime fans online day by day.
Speaking of - yes Selene, a lunch at Plaza Indonesia or Senayan would be nice! ^o^
It's been sometime since I've been to Plaza Indonesia, Mom wouldn't shop with me or even take me there...I wonder why. xD
I pretty much completed the Card Captor Sakura manga series! Mostly in Bahasa Indonesian though. ^^ I'm only missing volume 3 and an Indonesian volume 1. My CCS volume 1 is in Japanese...though I'm pretty happy with that.
Chocolate, is a basic food group. It must be.
Maybe for the sake of enlightening the weblogging public, I ought to write about something more intelligent. I've been under some serious brain drain for the last few weeks and I have no idea where it's coming from. This mental block is making me feel very, very wretched.
It's not only thought...I've just been damn lazy. I usually shrug laziness off as my usual character, but I know when my energy levels are zapped. This must be one of those moments.
Maybe tomorrow. *sigh*
Oh yeah, on a more amusing note...someone came across this blog from a search query of 'ugly pinoy pics'. O_O I didn't think my looks were that notorious!
Mom, you can stop laughing now.
It's a measely two weeks compared to my friends back in the Philippines who have a whole two-three months off, but the heck - I can laze about to no consequence! Bwahaha!
Goodness me, I have no idea!
Bleh, I have a head cold. But I will not let that spoil my happy mood! Ha!
I'm just waiting for mail to load so my account won't explode later this afternoon. Well, that finished up as I typed...and the pembantu (househelp) just informed me that my bubur ayam is done.
Point of this entry? Getting the flu sucks, but bubur ayam is one of the best things about Indonesian cuisine. :p
Market Price, Selene? Ugh. -_- So much for to serve and protect. Well, a classmate of mine said that his dad had to cough up a 500,000 'fine'. We're definitely wary now, My mom keeps looking twice at the traffic lights before driving on.
This morning I stumbled upon Les/Rei-san (not to be confused with Rei-chan!) blog! Wai! Les, Long time no see! *glomphigs*
Last night I went shopping and found a place at Pondok Indah Mall where you can get Jenny and Licca dolls. "Jenny is to the Japanese as Barbie is to Americans." explains Mara K. on her very nifty dolls page. I want one of the Jenny dolls, particularly one where she's wearing a kimono...or maybe the one where she has blue hair and wears a maid's uniform.
Dinner is served, I must settle this grumbling stomach of mine.
