Oh-chan is the bestest singer in ARASHI and he is also the reluctant leader.

toda erika, an addition to my list of favorite japanese actresses

yeah, yeah, yeah...

i don't usually favor japanese girls... i prefer korean girls because they seem to be more beautiful than the japanese, take for example "jeon ji hyun".--she was my ultimate favorite korean actress due to My Sassy Girl fame ^^. but learning that most of korean actresses went under the knife or most commonly known did a "plastic surgery" i got dismayed as in really. so they're not natural beauties after all.

no, no, i'm not that shallow in choosing a favorite actress, i also look in to their talents of course.

since i'm just getting started to know other japanese artistes, i've come to know only a few of them. and so far i have only like three japanese actresses. first was Hirosue Ryoko, i've first seen her in the dorama "dekichatta kekkon" in 2006 when it was shown here over QTV channel 11, second is Inoue Mao, all because she was the female lead in the popular dorama "Hana Yori Dango" series, which is my favorite dorama :) and lastly my new discovery is the pretty, young and sweet-looking Toda Erika. yeah, i know she played Misa Amane in Death Note movie, had played Umi Nakajima in HanaDan 2, but i came to really admire her as an actress when i watched "Ryusei no Kizuna". she was really great in that dorama ^^.

some facts about Toda Erika :

Erika Toda (戸田 恵梨香 Toda Erika?, born on August 17, 1988), is a Japaneseactress from Kobe.

She has had supporting roles in many popular Japanese TV dramas such as Nobuta o Produce, Engine and Gal Circle, but has only starred as the main character in the April 2007 drama, Liar Game. In the popular manga adaption movie Death Note, she played the role of Misa Amane.

...really love her ^^

A.Ra.Shi by Arashi-

i love this song so much!!!!

i was really amused when i saw this PV for the first time.

this is ARASHI's first single ever way back in 1999. whoa! can you imagine that? the video was ten years ago. ARASHI were still young, hehehe. they're so


kawaii!!!!!!!!!! and matsumoto jun was a bucktooth then, but now he have a perfect straight teeth ^^. and riida had long hair, nino chibi was cute ( of course sitll cute as ever) , sho infairness sitll have a flawless skin up to now ^^


aiba was already the tallest among them :)


i was only thirteen back in 1999 and how i wish i've known them ten years ago but i was not aware of JPOP/ culture coz i was busy with HANSON, backstreet boys and other american boybands ^^

but it's good to know that ARASHI is still a solid group after so many years ^^ AND i'm proud to say that i'am an ARASHI fangirl:) and still counting the years to come ^^

why i like this??? i like this PV because of the dance step ^^

hihi, matsujun is my ichiban and i was amazed that he have good dancing skills ^^ i'm not being biased here, it just shows, although oh-chan is said to be the bestest dancer among them ^^ the song is very catchy... it shows ARASHI's youthfulness... i did enjoy watching this video over and over again.

it's super nice :)

tadaima cyberworld!

NP: beautiful days by ARASHI

after two days of being offline...i'm so back on cyberworld! yeah... i've been gone for days and it was all because of the damn PMS. i wish boys also have a period every month so that girls are not the only one suffering in this kind of pain *evil grin* hihihi

the first thing i did after i turn on the pc is checking my FB account and proceeded to cafe world..yup you got it right, i'm now addicted to this game ^^

yesterday while i was absent from work i continued to watch Ryusei no Kisuna starring ninomiya kazunari, nishikido ryo and toda erika. i super like the story. you'll never expect the revelations and twists until you get to finished it until the last episode. i highly recommend this dorama for all nino fans (well of course aside from yamada taro monogatari). the drama was still stuck in my head until i get to sleep last night. and can i just say i uber like the OST of this drama? and it's now playing on my MP3 ^^ beautiful days by arashi.

so before i make a long blog here... i just want to say...I'M BACK MINNA!!!

thank you to ocha... she was wondering why i am nowhere to be found. miss you too girl :)

jaa ne~~~

do you love the sunny day?

mood: happy

music: love so sweet by arashi (always arashi, ne?)

konnichiwa minna-chan!

it's a bright sunny morning today! the weather is good but sometimes i hate it because of the hot temperature, although i'm inside the office and we have a centralized aircon i can still feel the heat of the burning sun. and i'm also hating the UVA/UBV rays that damages the skin so i always bring an umbrella whenever i'm outside. i don't want to have dark spots on my face. yikes! hahaha didn't i act like paris hilton here? i don't have a great skin like Goo Hye Sun or better known as Geum Jan Di of Boys over Flowers demo i want to take care of it ^^. it's an ordinary thing for girls who want to stay pretty ^^. am i right, ladies?

i like it better when it is cloudy ^^.

Arashi , aishiteru yo!

Picture of Arashi at Listal


my favorite japanese boyband.

i love them so much! i can't stop playing their songs on my MP3. when i watch them on their shows, PVs, CMs, dramas and movies or see them in magazine they always make me happy ^^.
i can't get enough of them and i'll never get tired idolizing, worshiping, and loving them...

truly fangirling is addictive...


ARASHI is a drug...

and i wanna be drugged for the rest of my life!!!

ARASHI saikou!!!

my guilty pleasure

CHOCOLATE

Etymology:

The word "chocolate" entered the English language from Spanish. How the word came into Spanish is less certain, and there are multiple competing explanations. Perhaps the most cited explanation is that "chocolate" comes from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, from the word "chocolatl", which many sources derived from the Nahuatl word "xocolatl" made up from the words "xococ" meaning sour or bitter, and "atl" meaning water or drink.^[3] However, as William Bright noted^[4] the word "chocolatl" doesn't occur in central Mexican colonial sources making this an unlikely derivation. Santamaria^[5] gives a derivation from the Yucatec Maya word "chokol" meaning hot, and the Nahuatl "atl" meaning water. More recently Dakin and Wichmann derive it from another Nahuatl term, "chicolatl" from Eastern Nahuatl meaning "beaten drink".^[6] They derive this term from the word for the frothing stick, "chicoli".--- wikipedia

my guilty pleasure...



yes... i'm a certified chocoholic. ever since i was a kid i've been addicted to it and i can say it is one of my greatest addictions ever aside from incubus, brandon boyd, matsujun, and Arashi :)

it wasn't on my plan but i end up shopping for chocolates last tuesday after work. being a self-proclaimed "kuripot" buying for a certain thing would make a big decision for me. it was my first time to splurged my money impulsively, knowing how expensive chocolates are nowadays. that particular day i waste no time picking and choosing the chocolates that i wanted to try, it's as if a voice was whispering in my ears that says: "try me and taste me, i know you want me" hahaha ( sounds like a lover) *grins*.

i loove chocolates. they really make my day :) they relieve the stress i'm feeling. they cheer me up when i feel down. and mind you, i can eat a whole pack of hershey's kisses in one sitting in front of the TV. i don't care if get fat or what, as long as they satisfy my cravings i'll be eternally happy *winks*.

chocolates also has interesting facts and benefits... it is a brain stimulator, anti-cancer, a cough preventor, some say it is an aphrodisiac, though the effect in not yet proven, dark chocolate is good for the circulatory system. wow can you imagine that? it does not only please our appetite, we can also gain benefits while eating them :) it's very nice, ne?


do you like chocolates? are you a chocoholic like me?

if yes, raise your hand.

yeah!

☆LeNG☆

thought for the day

hmmm... it's a rainy wednesday morning.

in times like this it's so good to eat hot champorado (my comfort food)... just thinking about it my stomach is churning and grumbling. i did not eat breakfast this morning. hahaha. i usually don't eat breakfast during weekdays, so i head to my office with an empty stomach, demo that is just fine though :)

what i'll be up to this week?

i'll post blogs about my guilty pleasure when i get home later...

post new pictures on my Friendster, Multiply and Facebook account

everyone is free to visit this blolgsite of mine :)

~SYNOPSIS~

Yamada Taro, a freshman on a scholarship at Ichinomiya Private Senior High School, is high-achieving, strikingly handsome, and truly athletic and seems perfect. But he is actually extremely poor. The story humorously portrays Taro, who tackles problems that occur because of his poverty, and his six younger brothers and sisters. --TBS

---------------------------------------------

~the first dorama i've seen from ninomiya kazunari
~nino's acting was superb!!! i mean, yeah he's acting skills is better than matsujun (i have to admit this fact)
~the dorama is not about love for the opposite sex but love for the family. a story about a man who strives hard to make his family happy.
~one thing i like in this dorama is you get to laugh and cry at the same time.
~i realized that ninomiya is a real cutie.
~takako ikegami is so kawaii here. i like it when she pass out everytime she sees yamada taro. it's super funny.
~of course i should not forget sakurai sho as takuya mimura-- the rich and handsome friend of yamada taro. his character here was mysterious and i can't get enough of mimura-kun's smile. sooo hot!
~another character i like is sugiura keichi,can you imagine a guy falling in love with a guy? he's pretty annoying at first but he was so funny coz he acts like ikegami takako-chan when he started to fall under taro-kun's charms. he even admitted to the whole class that he loved yamada taro. Lol!
~i was right when i searched in the web about taro's father. kazuo looks like a rock star coz of his long hair and aura, and i found out that in real life he is a vocalist of a jrock band SOPHIA. my instinct is so damn right!
~although this is comedy you'll learn values in this dorama.
~i loove the yamada family commandments, especially "don't borrow money, we can't return it."
~almost all nino fans fell in love with him in this dorama.
~how can i forget the OST here? I looove it! "Happiness" is one of my favorite ARASHI song of all time!
~two thumbs-up!!!
~a must see for ARASHI and nino fangirls.

ARASHI STORMY WORLD signal no.1 a success!

yes! after months of waiting, the day that we fangirls are waiting had finally come! Arashi Stormy World Signal no.1 the first gathering is a huge success. despite the threat of typhoon "santi" the admin team of ASW pursued the said event for the sake of the HAPPINESS of the fangirls.

i'm glad i was a part of it. i met my co-fangirls who are so young! most of them are teenage girls. it's nice to meet them all.

our team won in the facial expression game. i got a smile DVD for a prize! hehehe, i don't need to go to quiapo to get a copy of MatsuJun's latest drama. sooo happy!

i bid for Matsujun's "R-18" poster. waahh! the bidding starts from PhP100 and i walked in the middle, raised my right arm and yelled "500!" minna-chan were shocked. I know in their faces, they say "Are you serious?" Imagine a five-hundred pesos for a not original poster of Matsujun? Eh? yeah i was just so excited to bid for my beloved Jun-kun so i stated that huge amount. My friend shyne said make your bid lower, so after thinking for a long moment, i made my bid lower to 180 pesos. and nobody bid higher than that...yatta!!! i got a Matsujun poster for the price of 180 pesos. whew!

we had games, merienda, and lots of happy fangirling moments.

yeah, all i can say is that it was one hell of a day!

arigatou gozamaisu to all my co-fangirls, the admin team (without them of course this gathering is impossible) and everyone who were there *big grin*

it would have been better and happier if ARASHI was there... but nevertheless the experience is really something. i mean i haven't thought that i would go this far at my age 23 as a fan. *smiles*

hope to meet you again minna~

i'll post pics when i have time.
