I'll save your layouts from destruction, so pics behind the cut!

( 6 more Baby Kono pics! )

THE CHEEKS!!!!
And lookit that natural fauxhawk (oxymoron right there)! XD


I'm sorry, are you tired of this yet? Because I'm not! XDDD My dad's been texting eeeeeveryone he knows. He's so excited to finally have a boy in the family. :))

My sister's leaning towards calling him Liam. :D

YAY! A HEALTHY BABY BOY! Arrived..uh..sometime in the late afternoon! XD

Thanks for your comments & well-wishes! Will update with a proper photo once the new parents have taken one, and a NAME once they've given one! XD But for now, he's the nameless nephew who we all assume to be cute! XDDD

OH and I don't think I'm going to Singapore anymore. No money, hehe.

OMG MY SISTER IS IN LABOR 3 WEEKS EARLY. Like, TODAY. NOW.

PLEASE PRAY FOR HER, YOU GUYS. O_O

(I may be making an emergency trip to Singapore Wed-Fri!)

Just a way for me to keep track. XD

( list of jdramas I've seen )

Ahh I love 'em.♥

Okay it's been more than two weeks since I got back, so I may not remember the captions I intended to put... but at least I got it done! XD

( 140+ pics of mostly food and things and siblings. And a whole bunch of flowers. But srsly, it's quite image-heavy. )


FINISHED! \8D/ I thought it would be too long for LJ, but yay it wasn't!

YES! A (The Real Adventures of) Jonny Quest kit! :D I'm still proud of this one, hahaha.

I think it was around grade 8. Cartoon Network had this contest where kids had to tune into Jonny Quest and take note of the locations the Quest team visited in the episode, and email the answers to the network.

I don't remember if they announced the winners on the show, but if they did, then that was probably the only time I missed it, lol. I only remember getting a package from Cartoon Network one night, and inside was

1) a nice congratulatory message from CN on a Jonny Quest letterhead 8D
2) a grey JQ T-shirt two sizes too small (I should have mentioned I was bigger than most Asian 13-yr olds XD)
3) a yellow flashlight/radio in one
4) a green JQ glowstick! :D (which I never used)
Edit: And
5) a JQ backpack
6) a notebook with a motherboard (or whatever that piece of flat, green CPU hardware was) hardcover

My cousin & I were really into JQ that we even joined a fan mailing list (back in the day, before the creation of LJ comms XD). Loads of fanfics flooded my inbox, from BNF self-inserts to BNF-created JQ2K (with shiny new OCs for use in your own fics!), lol. Fandom elitism transcends time and place, apparently.

Ah, the stuff of the 90's. The JQ theme will always have a place in my heart.♥

Still in love with Konsento. Akira you genius.♥

Just came back from watching Drag Me To Hell. Most hilarious campy horror flick ever. YOU SHAMED MEEEEEE~~ loooool And the graveyard scene reminded me of Tales from the Crypt. Oh how I miss it.♥

Celeb sighting! Saw Gary V (random Gary V + Spongecola collab is random (scroll to the bottom of his OHP)) in Coffee Bean! HE'S SO TINY. Meaning lean & really fit, for someone 40+. Of course, because he's Mr. Pure Energy. I have a photo with him when I was 5 years old, I think. XDDD

Um. I've uploaded the Sing pics, but it's a little tedious making the post, haha. Marami kasi, mga 150 pics. XD; Coming soon, promise.

Gotta sleep! Independence Day tomorrow, so no work. Going up to Tanay. :D

I really love this KCE icon.♥

Konsento (Fukurou B-side) is up on YouTube and I LOVE IT and I'm sad that I have to wait to have more money to get this single. DDDD:

I think it's funny how they have a drummer in the Fukurou PV but only show his back. It's like, why bother showing him at all? haha


..So much for trying to avoid spoilers. lololol

♥

Back! Er, I know I didn't write anything about the other days of my Singapore Trip, but in a nutshell:

+ shopping! we only caught the GSS on our last 2 days there, when we were already out of money. D:
+ tons of walking. D: Killed my feet, srsly.
+ TONS OF EATING. \8D/ Most of the pics I took were of food.. or empty bowls & plates, depending on whether or not I was too hungry to remember to take a photo before eating. XD
+ JMUSIC! :D Like I mentioned before, I got the PSC 2009 LE dvd. And for my JE fix, V6's Voyager LE + Dance Clips DVD.♥ I didn't buy NEWS' color album after all, and found no sign of KAT-TUN's Break the Records or Kanjani8's Puzzle, which was the cause for some sadfacing. Saw KinKi Kids' 39 LE, but it would have depleted HALF of my spending budget, so I resisted. ;o;
+ TAKE THAT!♥♥♥ Oh my, what a pleasant surprise. :3 I didn't expect to find their Ultimate Tour & Ultimate Collection DVDs; they weren't even on my list. All us sisters (me & atchi especially) are TT fans, and our last afternoon was spent in giddy squeeing over these 4 dapper Brits doing 15-year old Pray choreography & a Roxanne-esque rendition of It Only Takes A Minute. XD GARY BARLOW, YOU HAVE MY HEART FOREVER.♥ I foresee a Take That flaily post in the near future. XD

And picspam coming soon. But we didn't take a lot of pictures this time around, since we weren't really there for the tourist attractions. (Atchi, I miss you!♥)

A.K.A. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION DOESN'T LIKE US.

WE GOT LOST TWICE. Or 1 1/2 times, since the second time was NOT OUR FAULT. XD

( HAHAHAHA )

( 2nd time )

Public transportation is out to get us.

but w/e it was fun. XD

And I'm almost out of money with 4 days of my trip left. lololol

MY ANKLES HUUUUUURT. D: Stupid flat feet. D: Atchi picked us up at around 1030 (WITH A LOVELY BABY BUMP :O No pics yet, sorry), then we had lunch at Boon Tong Kee (?) CHICKEN RICE, YAY! \8D/

Kinokuniya @ Takashimaya --> Karen got her Wild Adapter & Gakuen Alice manga. AND A SCI-FI MAG WITH CHRIS PINE ON THE COVER. lololol. I was VERY VERY tempted to get Neo Gen AND/OR an idol mag with Kanjani8 on the cover (and I also spotted one with OKADA♥ & his co-star from Otonari), but then I decided that I'll try to find all the dvds/cds I want first before spending on magazines. Because they're heavy. D:

HMV Heeren. DIDN'T HAVE THE DVDS/CDS I WANTED. DDD: but I left there with the PSC 2009 dvd (with the 6 booklets! :D) & V6's Voyager Type A limited edition. Both region 3. Was contemplating getting NEWS' color album, but I might run out of money too fast. XD May go back to that later.

We walked a good length of Orchard, hence the first part of my post. D: But we're at home now, resting our feet & eating green mangoes. Gonna have curry for dinner later, maybe watch Angels & Demons. Or maybe that's tomorrow. I dunno, we have a whole week here, so no rush. :D

HI! :D

Got back from a team building thing in Subic around 2.5 hours ago, and will wake up in another 3 hours to get ready for my flight to Singapore. WOOOH HECTIC! X_x I'm debating whether I should still sleep or not, haha. My body's tired but my brain is still awake coz I slept on the ride back to Manila.

anyhoo SEE YOU ALL IN JUNE! :D (Well, not see "see", but you know what i mean XD)

@ scottskydweller/vodkalimey/mozaemonpico/etc: care to meet up? any favorite places to recommend? XD Just PM me, I think my sister's internet works anyway :D

@ the_secret_i: ♥Thank you thank you thank you. *HUGS* :)


Guess what. Preordered Fukurou & authorization for my card was declined! Money fail. How sad. D:

Managed to browse through some comms and came across this interesting tidbit. It's just a rumor, but I totally believe it could happen. It's highly unlikely that two self-centered guys would get along anyway, ESPECIALLY Jin & Tegoshi. Oh boy, can you hear the sound of rabid fans at each others' throats yet? XD

Anyway, in the jdrama fandom, I've totally taken a liking to Kaname Jun. I was watching Ryuusei no Kizuna (awesome, btw) and I kept thinking that I've seen this guy somewhere before. He was Kinta in Tantei Gakuen Q, but his presence there didn't make much of an impact to me, lol. So yeah, while watching his scenes with Toda Erika, I was like, "...daaang this guy's good.♥" XD

Mukai Osamu too. First noticed him in Nodame Cantible and then again in Osen. I think he suits the cool role perfectly (although I didn't quite like him in Mei-chan).♥ And how sad that boys_paper only has one entry to his tag. ;o; Boo. Anyway, I'm currently watching Atashinchi no Danshi, and I think he and Okada (Ucchie!♥) are keeping it afloat for me, since I don't particularly like Horikita Maki's acting. :\

And man, was I pleasantly surprised to see Nari on The Quiz Show.♥ Right now though, I feel that a lot of characters are a bit useless, but apparently everyone has a secret, so we'll see how the story plays out. evil!Yoko = ♥♥♥ but I don't like that I'm reminded of Seishiro whenever he smirks. D: Oh Yukan Club, your fail has scarred me for life.

Anyway. Work has been productive lately, so that's put me in a better mood. :D And my geetar skeelz are getting better!.. I think! XD;

Singapore from May 23-31: CONFIRMED ♥

YAY! \8D/ I really think I need this vacation.

Two things I will definitely bring back home:
   1) More pounds
   2) An empty wallet

But omg I can't wait. I have a full week, u gaiz.♥


And there's a very very slight possibility that I'll be joining my mom and dad for Japan in November *cue wild flailing*


EDIT: And I know I'm a little behind with this, but I finally watched the Sakuracon commercial. Did they show this on television? "giRUgamesh!" For shame. XDDD

OMG WHY DID THE LIVEJOURNAL HOME PAGE TURN INTO A TWILIGHT GIF?? DDDDD:

( cut )

Is it just me or does anyone else see this too?

Monday - Long overdue 'date'. Went to SM Marilao with mom, but ended up texting & having lunch with Tom there. That guy is so busy, it takes a non-working holiday for us to meet up!

Tuesday - Iron Chef Barkada Edition! Theme: Chicken (hey, we're not that rich, okay?)

Iron Chef Theo
[+ Karen, BJ, RJ, Chico]
with Something Chowder, Bacon-wrapped Chicken Kebabs, Chicken a la Chamba (luck/by chance)

vs.

Iron Chef Timo
[+ Les, Sean, Yuna, Jess]
with Chicken-Mushroom Wraps, Lemon Rosemary Balsamic Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes

....We lost by 1 point. D: BOO!
Pics when RJ gets around to posting them. x)

Wednesday - work. :|

Thursday - going up to Tanay :D

Fandom stuff
- Haven't been up to date with JE lately, but I totally LOL'd at NEWS' new PV. I don't know if I can take them seriously anymore. I think the director ruined their chance for having a decent PV for a nice song, but then they're Johnnys so I guess they're immune to slips in chart rankings anyway. Still.. I don't need 100 screencap posts of the PV on my flist. D:
- After seeing that clip of Ueda in the CTKT special, I'm looking forward to Konkatsu even more.
- LOVE SHUFFLE = ♥
- OMG new Pura single in June!♥

From Pura's Official MySpace.



( more.. )

Looks like Akira has a bit of a Miya fuzz going on.♥ (I know someone on my flist who'll definitely like that XD)

Still feels weird without Buchi. But I'm dying to find out who completes their square.

Nothing says 「おかえり」 quite like Plastic Tree. I know I've said it before, but when my ears get tired of listening to new things, coming back to them relaxes me. :3 Really, I don't think I can ever love a band more than Pura.♥

Had a very strange dream a few nights ago. Jotted it down on LJ as I woke up:

ZOMBIES attracted to blood only
warehouse - harrison ford hiding behind the curtain
underground = basement
some got in
stupid girl kissed & became one
saw a band outside = DMC
ran out, tried to hide from hina
house connected to a mall or something
pao tried to thread a needle for me
had to eventually go to the competition or we were going to forfeit
competition was to make deodorant
guy's armpit hair was metal
we lost anyway
walking down the hallway we saw liam neeson graffiti (mighty awesome)
when we looked back it was a grand ballroom
michelle pfeiffer was the savior
we all went up to a glass room
they finally caught up to us (next to the hallway of a hospital?)
patched up family disputes

SO WEIRD. I can still remember everything vividly, hahaha. Writing all the details here would be too long, but let me know if you're curious about anything. XD

And some quizzes, as I wile away the last 15 minutes of the workday. ( Beware. There's a lot behind the cut. )

In other words, I'm pretty passive. Haha.

Gonna finish Mei-chan & start Love Shuffle. Tamaki!♥

I'm sad. There is a serious lack of Plastic Tree tabs on the internetz. :(

BUT. I can play the chorus of Kuuchuu Buranko! The chords are so prettyful.♥ And 37°C seems simple enough, but all the chord changing has my fingers in knots. D:

PURA. PLEASE RELEASE A SCORE BOOK. IT'S ABOUT TIME. D:

And when will I ever have enough extra funds to get their MGATW dvd? ;_;

ANYWAY. this is short. because karen & mom and I are all going to Red Mango in Eastwood for some YUMTASTIC YOGURT LIEK WOAZ.♥ 8DDDDDDDD

And I wonder why I can't lose weight. XDDD

And my "current music"? That's been stuck in my head for over a week now.♥
