i feel real sad when i see this subject in my e-mail: Upcoming Mail Artist. sender: CDJapan.

K8's musekinin hero

and

NEWS's color

DAMNNNNNNNNNN. I AM BROKE. TO THE UTMOST.

*sighhhhhhhhhhhh*

what shall i do then? awwwwwwww

johnny k. can't stop releasing albums and singles and that makes me feel even helpless.
(and there's even two sets of limited edition for musekinin hero, that has two different dvd versions. talk about earning fucking a lot.)

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

i just finished watching PACIFIC DVD, as in just 10minutes ago (thanks to magnificent newshfan and other uploaders in lj) and damn i want to buy that dvd too. helfffffff.

i mean, who can resist NEWS, their costumes and fanservice?

* the non-stop fanservice by dearly beloved yamashita tomohisa... *applause* (if i were a BIG yamapi fan, i think i have fainted sooooooo many times during the whole run of the dvd.)

* ryo-chan daisuki. ♥

* koyama = camwhore. tegoshi running in second.

* RYO THE BULLIEST OF THEM ALL. i was laughing hard hard hard hard when he tipped koyama in the card game and shige lost. shige is always the bullied kid. awww shige..

*MASSU THE GREAT XIAO LONG BAO. (great buta massu)

* i didn't see flying (except for taiwan con), and they discovered new exhibition: WATER!!! (i assume next time they'll have fire, water, flying for wind, and land.. probably something like mud wrestling. LOL) and not much feathers and bombing, i mean fire exhibitions.

*ONSEN - i am looking forward to more in the next dvds.

* sho and nino cameo. awww. sweet.

* the nantoka narusa of koyama, damn cute. LOLLLLLL. i ♥ koyama. akachan koyama..

There's this stain in this pillow and i've been wondering what i should do about it
(kitto, nantoka narusa. shinpai wa nai sa)
*nods* sou ka.
(kono michi massugu itte miyo)
sou ka. iinda
(kaze no fuku mama, sou kanjiru ga mama)
koko..
(sususmeba daijoubu ashita mo ii otenki)
sou ka!!! ja, ikou...

KAWAII!!

* and this scene must have been a premonition for ryusei no kizuna:




see, i am still under catatonic stupor due to the Pacific dvd, and there's another release. see. see. how can i ever survive in this fandom?

helf.

stat IS now

i finished watching code blue. (i am such a sucker for medical dramas Xp)

and here are my thoughts: !!SPOILERS.

... it took us two years before we were able to have hospital duties and wear scrub suits, that's why sometimes i feel like these actors are lucky indeed. they never had formal trainings in schools but they were able to wear scrub suits, enter operating rooms, do 'mock' operations and ride helicopters.
i bet those real nihonjin ER interns are hating that yamapi et al rode the heli without attending medical school.

... aragaki yui is so young-looking to be an intern and generally to be a doctor. she is so kawaii and her voice is so soft that i never really took her seriously as a doctor. plus her bangs, i hope she can tie it up or clamp it, i am so bothered by it.

... i thought this series will be yamapi sreen time fiesta. but not as much as i expected. and most of the time it was aragaki yui i'm seeing.

... i found code blue as a mix of house md, grey's anatomy and iryu.

*house md - because of the munchausen case (which, bragging aside, i guessed that diagnosis right away. LOL)

*grey's anatomy - because of what happened to kuroda-sensei. THAT IS SO GREY'S ANATOMY. a surgeon losing his most beloved arm.

*iryu - they tackled each of the intern's life. a conflict with this sensei's life this episode, then with that sensei the next episode. except for erika toda's character.. she had no family conflict and no grave medical attachment..

... i nearly cried, well actually, i cried. because the cold-hearted aizawa-sensei cried when he was moved by his beloved obachan's words.. and when kenichi called kuroda-sensei 'otuousan'. awww, such moving scenes. T_T

... curly yamapi, i mean aizawa-sensei, forgot to put a sterile cap on when he did an emergency on-site operation. (that's no good.. aseptic technique is a rule.)

... i don't know how hospital management works in japan but i find it pretty confusing that the ER doctors are also doing surgical operations. i mean, as far as i know, cases that concerns ER only revolves around ER. when a patient needs an operation, he is passed on to the surgeons of the OR. minor surgeries are the responsibilities of ER senseis.

... mmmm how was yamapi's acting abilities as the doctor who posses a strong facade and unwavering determination? i think it's in between excellent and very satisfactory. sure i saw the cold-hearted doctor in him, but i think i'm missing something, which i cannot identify. i give props though, because it was well explained why he was a cold-hearted, hardworking doctor.

... i didn't like that in episode 9, i never saw shiraishi-sensei apologize to kuroda-sensei. i mean, if it were me, i am in great remorse. i would only ask for apology again and again and again. i know it isn't right, but i only blamed her about what happened to kuroda-sensei. i saw her remorse but i didn't hear her apologize immediately to kuroda-sensei.

... saijou-sensei said the most truthful line that is so appropriate for the medical field:

'i cannot guarantee that. The only one who can do something like that is God.'
and
'you guys think that medicine is almighty? a doctor is not God. there isn't really that much we can do. whether the world is unreasonable or, whatever it is, you have to understand that there are some things in this world you just have to accept.'

... i'm sorry to say though that i still like iryu more than code blue. i don't know why, probably it's the musical score. and iryu dealt into patient's lives more than the doctor's lives.

... i wish there'll be a doctor heli as well here in manila. and wards like that for all public hospitals here. hmmmm

this dorama, for me, is still worth watching for anyone who craves for medical dramas, and for anyone just wanting a go for drama.

chestnuts roasting on our kitchen

Christmas is near.

i love the Christmas season. four things that made me realize that it's coming near:
1. the Coca-cola commercial (holidays are coming. holidays are coming...)
2. we assembled and decorated our Christmas tree yesterday, and it has a lot of red ribbons. cutie..
3. i am wearing a reindeer antler while typing this.
4. and the night news features Christmas segments everyday.

79 DAYS TO GO BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!

......................................

Ryusei no kizuna is near. 10 more days to go.

but i'm feeling rather.... umm, not that excited about it. i hope it will be a good one.

......................................

after the Taiwanese, the the Japanese and now it's confirmed that there will be a Korean version of Hana Yori Dango. i'm crossing my fingers that they won't remake it into a Filipino adaptation; like my girl, bleh. Xp

......................................
and here are the resident bullies of the jimusho:


poor tegoshi.

bring that bling

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

--> stuck in a moment

50 episodes of love

i finished watching They Kiss Again (It Started with a Kiss 2) last night, no actually it's 2.30 am today. i felt just like how i felt when i finished watching season 1, which is emptiness. yeah.. it's like i felt so indulged in this series that it's difficult to accept that it already ended. and ended for real.

the 2 series had both happy and sad, exciting and boring phases. but it's still very entertaining to have watched their roller coaster love story. i considered season 1 as my most loved Taiwanese series. i managed to watch 30 chapters in 20 hours, i think. basically, i spent one whole day for the whole season 1. and i loved it. after finishing it, i actually did re-runs of my favorite parts after 1 day. and i felt so empty the following days and sooooo addicted to it. that's how much ISWAK has affected my life those days.

for this season 2, i still felt emptiness, but i have to admit not as much as that feeling in season1. i felt more of 'this is such a cliffhanger'. too bad though, because there won't be any more season 3. the manga wasn't finished because the author, Kaoru Tada, died. the director of the Taiwanese series, Qu You Ning didn't want to lead away from the original and just left their series 'unfinished' as well. *sigh*

the good news is joe cheng and ariel lin will team up again in an upcoming series, Love and Bread. surely, i'm going to watch this.
