Entry tags:

delivered, signed, still sealed.

I received my ARASHI IS ALIVE book from YesAsia (had I ordered it from CDJapan, I would've gotten it a couple of days earlier. Lesson learned #__).

And believe you me, I still haven't opened it.

Ma:  What is that? Is that the Ohno photobook?
Me: No. The group one. Ohno's is still to be shipped.
Ma: But there're pictures of Ohno in that one, right?
Me: ....of course.
Ma: Open it.
Me: (firmly) Tomorrow. You'll see it tomorrow. Tonight, it's mine.

Seriously. I feel bad blowing her off tonight, because lately she's been feeling really really down. (Hopefully I can get to talk about the WHY, soon.)

So, doing a couple of memes. Because I want something mindless before I capspam you guys yet again. yay.

Not tagged, but thought this was interesting. Saw this off [livejournal.com profile] jadenmd 's LJ.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favourite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.


The fifth sentence:

"Kid's a pansy; now get the hell out of here!"

The next seven sentences:

Shaking with emotion, Charles slid off the stool and left the bar. He never introduced himself to his father, never said a word. Not then, not ever.

I asked Charles, "How could you leave without talking to your father?" His voice got very flat, as if it hurt him to answer. He said that when he looked into his father's face, he saw Arthur's eyes -- the same cold lack of feeling. And he knew that his own father had never loved him, and never would.


....This was taken off James Patterson's "Sam's Letters to Jennifer", which I love, and have read so many times already. My colleague borrowed it and just gave it back a week ago, and I never did get around to putting it back on my shelf. (Well, now I shall put it back.)

Who do I tag for this? (sorry in advance!)

[livejournal.com profile] twistedhalo04 because I wanna know what's the book closest to her. XDDD I'm guessing...The Elements of Style. No?
[livejournal.com profile] change417 because she's my fellow Ohno ichiban-er and I just want to make her answer one of those mindless quizzes. (hardly a quiz, though)
[livejournal.com profile] sweetpniangel87 because she tagged me for the next meme I am gonna answer. mwahahaha! *vengeance is mine!*
[livejournal.com profile] silgari because I want to. hokay?!
[livejournal.com profile] waku_waku ...kasi you tagged me, too.....*vengeance is still mine!*
 

For this one[info]sweetpniangel87 tagged me.
 


1. The last person to tag you was...?
  [livejournal.com profile] sweetpniangel87 , i think. Unless I don't read my flist very well.

2. Your relationship with him/her...?
* Let's see. I terrorize her with my CB-cries-of-help, I poke and nudge her for graphics, I (sometimes) drown her with Filipino phrases....and she's our either-extremely-diligent-or-insanely-dedicated typesetter/hardsubber. She's awesome.

3. Your 5 impression towards him/her ?
* Can I copy-paste? No? Ok, here goes:
- extremely diligent
- insanely dedicated
- glutton for punishment
- super nice (or has a LOT of tolerance)
- God-loving, God-fearing, loving sister

4. The most memorable thing that he/she has ever done for you ?
* Lots. One of them was when she answered my question: "Are we (STORMY team sub) up for Maou?" with "YES!"

5. The most memorable words that he/she has say to you ?
* That one above. "YES." *lolz*

6. If he/she becomes your lover, you will...
* be like a fish out of water.

7. If he/she becomes your enemy, you will...
* be mad at myself. Coz I'm a peace-loving person. (believe me! I am!)

8. If he/she becomes your lover, he/she has to improve on...
* I'll answer this generally. If anyone becomes my lover, he won't have to improve on anything.

9. If he/she becomes your enemy, the reason is...
* the world overturned, spun out of its orbit and floating aimlessly into space.

10. The most desirable things to do for him/her is...
* errr....Send Nino. No, wait. Ryo. I'll send Ryo to her. And keep Nino to myself. (I am a peace-loving person! Really!)

11. Overall impression towards him/her is..
* Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

12. How do you think the people around you will feel about you ?
* Around me? Hmm... I can be serious sometimes, but I can be playful, and they duck their heads when trading jokes and teasing with me. Really. If they can find shields, I'm sure they'd use those.

13. The character for you for yourself is ?
* A coloring book.

14. On contrary, the character you hate of yourself is ?
* Sometimes I think I can be too nice.

15. The most ideal person you want to be is ?
* Jennifer. Flaws and all.

16. For the person who cares and likes you, say something about them.
* You're crazy. THANK YOU.

17. Who I Tag; (no pressure, luvs)
(1) [livejournal.com profile] twistedhalo04  (again! Sorry, I want to break you out of that funk you're in)
(2) [livejournal.com profile] yuckie_chan (because everyone misses her posting)
(3) [livejournal.com profile] addictine  
(4) [livejournal.com profile] i_heart_aiba 
(5) [livejournal.com profile] change417 
(6)  [livejournal.com profile] waku_waku 
(7) [livejournal.com profile] aatash  (sorry....!)
(8) [livejournal.com profile] techni_teddy (sorry, too!!!)

18. Who is number 2 having a relationship with ?
* Duh. Sho! *no-brainer, really.*

19. Is 3 a male or a female ?
* a very very nice female. :)

20. If number 5 and 7 got together, would that be a good thing ?
* AW! COME ON! Two translators who love Ohno????? Do the math!!!!

21. How about 5 and 8 ?
* Hell, yeah! Ohno ichiban-ers unite!!!

22. What is number 1 studying about ?
* Journalism. And probably time (and HD) management once she is 'relatively free' to fangirling.

23. When was the last time you had a chat with them ?
* Chat as in IM? Uhm...I don't. (so, taking this chance, ahem. my YM is yonje_22. MSN is jeffer_wrote). But chatting via LJ? CONSTANTLY.

24. Is number 4 single ?
* Yes. She's born in the wrong country. *lolz* Right?! Rather, on the entirely wrong continent?

25. Say something about number 2.
* One of the two people who unwittingly initiated me fully into the Arashian fandom. Also, one of my two unwitting (and unwilling) mentors.

......Done.....
Boy this was hard.....
Already I am shielding myself from annoyed glances my way because I tagged them. *is evil*

'Kay. Hopefully I could stay coherent to make a capspam. XDDD

Ma: Open it.
lol
That discussion is like my & my mother's discussions these days.

Rather, on the entirely wrong continent?
You got it right, babe~

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha!
I'm beginning to think it's an affliction with mothers lately. :)


....I got it right, coz I totally feel ya. Although in my case, it'd be country, not continent. Still, same difference. Wrong place. XDD

[identity profile] tomokaku.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Have mothers formed some kind of unit or something? They try to be like their daughters? lol

It's so wrong. Not do we only live in wrong places but we also speak wrong languages.. Sad.

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so it's the other way around now? "when I grow up, I wanna be like my daughter." I tell ya, the world's going on a reverse spin. XDD

...Ok. Now I'm really pitying myself. *blows nose*

[identity profile] tomokaku.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
In my family that's definitely the case lol

*pats*

[identity profile] tigerlily25.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh..Yes dear, you have to order your stuff from CD Japan, faster. Although the shipping cost is much expensive. Emjoy your PB.

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I always order from CDJapan (coz I'm impatient like that) but for this one, I was late and got slapped with out of print so had to order from YesAsia. oh well.

I am! I am!!! Feasting my eyes!!!

[identity profile] silgari.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You're evil!!! hahaha.. that book sounds interesting! I haven't read anything in ages.. just stuff for my thesis Photobucket

Looking forward to the capspam! And send lot of hug to your Ohno loving mom!

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't I!!! XDD

Finish your thesis, and when you're done, stuff yourself full with literary treats! Your reward!

Mom's asleep, and I'm feasting my eyes on the photobook ALONE. Told ya, I'm evil.

[identity profile] silgari.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeap u are.. EVIL!!!! But I like to be tag... I just finish doing this one, and already post it.. LOLZ

Yes.. will do.. a feast of good books!!!

Hahaha... evil you are! How's the book? I've been waiting for someone to make a detail review about it, but nothing comes up on my f*list..

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
The book is......whoa.
The only thing that kept popping in my head while flipping through it was: "ahhhh.....i wanna go to a concert.....! See them hanging, see them dancing, hear them singing, watch them laughing......."

That mantra was on repeat in my head until I fell asleep at....2.30 in the morning...

Maybe I will write one up soon. I dunno. One of these days I am half-expecting someone to scan the whole thing and upload it, anyway. XDD

[identity profile] silgari.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh.. so lucky, you have the photobook!! Hehehe nice mantra!!!

You're so going to a concert girl! You are going to heard them sing! And you are going to sing with them! Dream out loud girl!!! :D
And you know what?... I know I'm going too!! hehehehe DREAMING OUT LOUD RIGHT NOW!!! Yohoooooooooo!

I'm desperately waiting for scans... but most of the fangirls I know have bought the photobook, so that's probably why nobody is doing the scans. Well... I'll just wait patiently... *sigh*

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-21 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
It's one of my hobbies, coming up with mundane mantras. :)

YES! WE MUST BOTH DREAM (A LIVE) OUT LOUD!!!!!!

Someone's bound to come out with scans soon. I can't even find my own scanner since it's THAT neglected. Haha!

Patience is a virtue. Everything comes to those who wait. BELIEVE!

[identity profile] silgari.livejournal.com 2008-09-21 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Nice hobbie!

YES DREAMING (A LIVE) OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!! Yohoooooooooooooo! hehehe.. I feel like singing "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" XD

Yes.. I BELIEVE! ^_____^

[identity profile] all4cyanide.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I got my photobook and few days ago from Yes Asia b/c I've seemed to form an extreme patience when it comes to waiting for Arashi related things....*cough* Maou episodes *cough*... and I like to save money even if I have to wait for it! ^___^ I digress however, I liked the book even tho some people were upset at the quality of some of the pics. I especially like the ones of them backstage and in the hotel. Stuff you don't get to see too often. Jun about to fall asleep was so cute. -.-

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
*pretends not to notice the coughing* Lolz.

Some people I know complained not about the quality of the pix per se but on the quality of the paper. But it's still Arashi, so. I'm kinda low-maintenance. XDD

I'm like, five minutes each page. So I don't see myself finishing this in one night. :)

[identity profile] all4cyanide.livejournal.com 2008-09-19 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't find much wrong with the paper quality... :/ I was expecting the book to be a lot thinner than it was however.

Ignoring me eh? Oh well..my patience is neverending when it comes to these boys.

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
You know what the book made me, though?

It made me want to go to a concert. REAL BADLY. LIKE NOW!!!

....Arashi should be incorporated in Values Development courses and such. They build up characters so well. Haha!

[identity profile] all4cyanide.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
At least you will one day have the oppurtunity! Ugh...makes me sad just thinking about how I'll NEVER be able to see them.

Unless they come back to Hawaii for their ten year anniversary and I will fly all the way across the country to see them. >.

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
I HOPE SO! Gawd, I HOPE SO!!
And you never know, you might actually see them someday! :)

[identity profile] waku-waku.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
you tagged me TWICE! that's double vengeance ;)
you need to do the meme 'kay?

momm relationships like that are so cute. well, my mom thinks otherwise about them so.. haha.

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
That's how I adore you!!!!

My mom's beginning to take after me, so.

(Mali yata. Haha!)

Yes'm! *salutes* Will show her!

[identity profile] waku-waku.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
hehe

[identity profile] dvampyrlestat.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
....and I thought I was being subtle........!

My mom's aging backwards (literal translation of the pinoy phrase. hakhak!) Although, if mine hears bakla talk, she'd go, "Ano daw?"

him. biting.
he's got THE bite.

eeeehhhh.......

reminder to self: I'm a grown-up.

[identity profile] waku-waku.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
