J-Storm already released the cd jackets/covers for Truth and Kaze no Mukuo e. I like how they made the jacket for LE1 dark since it has the Truth PV while the jacket for LE2 is so colorful. im glad i bought both versions.^^ i wonder what's the explanation behind the design for the NE.

but of course the best news of the day is definitely Nino's new drama w/ Ryo. if Nino's not enough reason to watch it, then there's Ryo who i think is one of the finer actors in JE. their drama will be replacing Maou. i hope TBS will make that timeslot an Arashi drama exclusive slot. first was Rida's, then Nino's, then the others will have theirs next year. wishful thinking. LOL!

ah and 2 packages from Japan were delivered this afternoon. thank God it wasn't held up in customs. im so happy i finally have Arashi's Pikanchi photobooks! yay! it cost me a lot of money but who cares right? im a willing victim to Johnny's marketing ploys. i also bought their latest OS and the Toho Mag Hanadan SP. im pretty sure they'll be on the cover of OS again for Truth sometime next month and im definitely buying it as well. Orista photos are always nice.

the spending never stops. just when i thought id be able to start saving now that Hanadan promo is over and Jun will more or less not appear on magazine covers again, their new single's suddenly out for pre-order. of course there's no way im not buying it since I LOVE TRUTH and it's been 4 yrs since they came out with double a-side cds. i have not heard of the Olympic/24hr tv song but i pre-ordered it nonetheless. as for the RE, i'll just get the overseas version to save a few bucks. oh and im glad i pre-ordered in cdjapan yesterday when it came out coz it's already sold out in HMV. they have not even sent me an email notification that it's out for pre-order and it's sold out. crazy!

im just a bit curious, is SMILE (the bonus song in RE) the same as GREEN? coz i remember during the 1st few days of the tour people were saying they sang SMILE for their eco song but it turned out to be GREEN. so maybe it is? if not, what happened to GREEN?^^

lastly, i watched MAOU w/ softsubs last night. Rida sugoi! thanks to suketeru for releasing it. now i cant wait to watch the 2nd episode.

like everyone else who's seen it, i was surprised by Rida's acting. though i have seen him in his butai and a few Arashi movies, I was actually a bit worried for him. Maou is, after all, his very first lead role in a drama. plus the fact that the plot is really serious. after watching the first episode, all my worries disappeared. damn, he was really good. a bit stiff but im pretty sure he will loosen up in the next episodes. but yeah it was a revelation to see the normally gentle looking (and always spacing out) Rida transform into a cunning and vengeful person. Rida sugoi! Toma too!



now Nino's guesting... is really short. hahaha... but you know i was waiting for him to say ITADAKIMASU while he was holding Rida then kiss the guy again. LOL! damn you Nino! i have become an Ohmiya shipper because of that kiss! i heytchu! XDD



oh and can someone please tell Sho to stop showing off his air muscles? i tell you this guy is going to kill us fangirls one of these days coz he is just so yummy! potah tlaga! hahaha...




oh i recently sold a few Dream A Live goods over at wenidokane and i noticed that Sho's uchiwas sold out ahead of Jun's. i posted 2 uchiwas each of Jun, Sho and Aiba and his (sho) was the only ones that sold. Aiba and Jun are still there. awww...  also remembered selling a lot of Sho's uchiwas in the past and they sold out just a few hours after they were posted. hmmm... does this mean that there are more Sho fans here in Manila or that Sho's fans have more money to spend? anyway, now that HYD promos are almost done, I can probably rest with my Jun mag purchases. i just hope Yatterman promos does not start anytime soon. i need to save up for AAA 2008!

just finished watching the last episode and it made me cry. hahaha... this is so far my favorite drama this season (since i have not finished watching Change).

i really have to go get myself my own Night-o. hmmm... if i were to create my own robot-o lover, it needs to look like Jun or Sho but a bit taller (if it's Japanese made) and Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp (if it's US made). LMAO!

LOL at the entry's title. it's been a week and i still have not fixed my things. i dont know how to start. i now have 4 boxes under my bed and they're all from Japan. anyways, i have been attending driving lessons for 3 days now. this morning, i drove from Pacita to ATC, with the instructor right beside me of course. it was fun. oh and the instructor slept on our way back. good thing nothing bad happened. LOL!

i seriously need to find work by next week. i need to start saving money for AAA shows. im still thinking of going to both Taipei and Shanghai shows. it will all depend on my budget though. good thing i was able to save enough before i resigned. i will be paying my credit card for our Bohol trip which is almost 20k. my last pay went to the driving school and to Arashi (DAL goods). i also bought my dad and brother new rubber shoes last Sunday. i dont even own a pair of rubbershoes. XDDD i also want to buy a new phone coz i have a feeling the one im using right now will be dying soon. LOL!

i will be selling some stuff. those interested, please visit  wenidokane

1. watch as many dvds as i can
2. clean my room
3. organize my dvds/cds, mags and other arashi stuff
4. learn to drive

pretty productive right? i just hope i get to do them all.

i actually had an interview yesterday at another law office. it turns out the partner who was interviewing me is a former schoolmate/officemate of my boss. WTF?! of course he asked me things abt him like how is he as a boss, etc. all i can say is i would have given pinochio competition by the number of lies i made. hahaha...

speaking of boss, my future-ex boss is exceptionally nice to me today. i bet he'll have a party once i leave. LMAO!

another entry before i sleep. still watching subbed MMA (thanks to techni_teddy) can i just flail over how amazingly pretty Jun looks in this episode? i love his One hairstyle (actually all their hairstyles during the One period) and i love it when he smiles like this.











enough to kill a fangirl



and because Nino is so pretty
