Irini Chrysovalantou


Today is known as "Name's Day" for the Orthodox Christian whose got their name from St. Irini Chrysovalantou. That means including me.  So.. hmm.. yeah..  happy  birthday me!
Still not quite sure what one actually do on their Name's Day, in my church its consider as your birthday also [i guess in the old days people who were born as Orthodox Christian would get their baptise name, which has to be a name from an Orthodox Saint, as their first name also, so their "name's day"  would be on their actual birth day.]   And in my church, if your Name's Day happen to be on a Sunday, they will sing this "birthday song"  for you. The words and the rhyme is totally different from the usual birthday song, so i guess its a Greek Orthodox's birthday song??   but its nice... having all the church people congratulate you... and having other gal sharing the same birthday too..

Its been a few years now,  that I've added the name Irini in front of my childhood nickname, ever since I was baptised in Solo 3rd August, quite a few years ago.  It was a really important moment for me personally, coz in my ipinion, that was the one major thing that I've decided in my life, not influence by others but its what I really believed in. To this day I'm very sure, what has been happening in my christian life.. and finally to come to this road, i do believe God has chosen this one for me. Doesn't mean that i'm a good christian today though.. unfortunatelly,  i still swear and all that... *pletak pletak diri*,  but I've found my peace with God.  And coincidence or not, that's what my name actually means.  Peace.  Metropolitan Nikitas  [kayak Uskup kalo di gereja Katolik] gave me that name himself.  Hopefully by next year I'll be a much better "Irini"  ^___^

 
irini pasi.... may peace be with you all..
amien.


Irene the Righteous of Chrysovalantou
Reading:  Saint Irene, who was from Cappadocia, flourished in the ninth century. Because of her great beauty and virtue, she was brought to Constantinople as a prospective bride for the young Emperor Michael (842-867); however, as Saint Joannicius the Great foretold, it was God's will that she assume the monastic habit instead. She shone forth in great ascetical labours, and suffered many attacks from the demons; while yet a novice, she attained to the practice of Saint Arsenius the Great, of praying the whole night long with arms stretched out towards Heaven. God showed forth great signs and wonders in her, and she became the Abbess of the Convent of Chrysovalantou. She was granted the gift of clairvoyance and knew the thoughts of all that came to her. She appeared in a vision to the king and rebuked him for unjustly imprisoning a nobleman who had been falsely accused. Through a sailor from Patmos to whom he had appeared, Saint John the Evangelist sent her fragrant and wondrous apples from Paradise. She reposed at the age of 103, still retaining the youthful beauty of her countenance. After her repose, marvelous healings beyond number have been wrought by her to the present day.

bored.. painfull.. fun.. i guess

 
bored: coz i was stuck at home all through sat & sun... all good plans went kaput.. darn!

painfull: coz i just got my period, and no matter how, you just can't get used to it... well, at least i still can't get use to it.. stil hate it everytime it arrives on schedule.. maybe its the pain and how it makes all my body not functioning well... hate it.

fun: coz i got to spend some chatting time, sms time with people i like and how the new pics of Sho-kun from the booklet of "Iza.. Now"  just melts me... hahahahaha  I literally developing a headache when i saw those pics... *sigh*   I wonder when the oversea's version will come out *sigh*
and a very good news from a certain someone to end the weekend....... aah can't wait for a very special delivery in a day or two..... i love you... you.  You know who you are *wink wink*

ooh.....  did get to watch a few dvd that i was stuck in bed the whole day & night...
quite suprisingly.. i enjoyed all of them.. even though i wasn't sure when i first picked them out of my brother's dvd rack  ^__^

--> Spiderman 2 : they were right. it's much better than the first one. didn't quite catch the whole superb action sequence for the obvious reason, but i like the story line. felt believable. surprising. i like it.

--> Secret Window : only picked it out coz i wanna watch something not comedic or 'light', and when i saw that it was from a novel by Stephen King.. ah well, it really got my attention. As i was suspected.. quite a twisted ending, very surprising. but then it was by Stephen King.. i shouldn't be that surprised. I like this one much much better than "Dream Catcher"

PS to Ki-chan... its not a horror movie! It's a suspence/thriller.

--> Around the World in 80 Days [jackie chan] : at first i though oh well, let me just watch it for the sake of knowing what the movie is about, but i had fun watching it. specially recognizing all the cameo appearances from the big names from US, UK & HK. Let see, there's Governor Arnold Swazzenegger [spl???], Daniel Wu & Karen Mok, Sammo Hung [this guy getting very huge now huh? John should take his dad to the gym sometime hehehehe], John Cleese, and a couple of others that i suddenly forgot the names  ^__^  including the woman who got an Oscar for "Misery" who played as the Queen of England.

good movies... at least i enjoyed all of them while i'm seeing them. but.. no second time though... pity.

 

Nice Surprise


Tonight i was online to finish sending some things to some gals, and even though Ki-chan and I both online we still use the sms to ehmm "exchange info"..... baka!!  hahahahaha [kabur dari  Miura-chan....]

Wacky Weekend
 

Started with my project with Ki-chan that had to be "re-vamped" and then got me frustated coz the bad result on my blog but it was ok on Qisthy's blog. Not to metion crazy SMS we kept sending each other hahahaha thank goodness I got extra voucher this moth or I'm dead. or my mobile is dead to be exact.  ^_____^
 
VQ-chan!!  Man.... 10 a.m and we're already in Glodok??  That's gotta be something. I had to repeat "Lucky Man" for 3 times before I finally got off the bed... hahahaha either i'm very sleepy still or I can't tore my eyes away frrom His Lordship sweaty arms  *wink wink*  He's just too slurpie for my sanity.
Met Endah in front of BRI, then VQ came with Tantri... hello..!  *wave to Tantri* As usual I had to mentoin the name "irini"  first then "ooh.. that's you..!"  LOL...  Anywayz, when we reached Glodok Ciska informed us that she's gonna be late, so we decided to have a brunch. KFC lho Ju... supporting Mabo nih... hahahahaha It's been a while i guess to have a relaxing chit chat with Navyblue & LuckyPurple, and it was a nice short time I spend with the gals  ^___^  Ciska turned to be quite... quite late, coz we've already finished our meal slowly and bought some blank CDs before she finally arrived!  [hmmm.. untung nggak ada pengurangan nilai dari dewan PTT wakakakaka].  Then when VQ found what she's looking for, we went to Carrefour to buy some snacks & lunch time for Ciska, and ice cream time for VQ & me hehehe.

Arrived back at VQ's place with JuJu & Mami already there and after a bit of DVD switching.... we all go gaga [well, Juju go gaga] and we went either "wakakaka" or "kyaaa so cute..."  while watching Tokio's Round part 2 DVD.  The behind the scene things are always my fave part of everything and this time no difference. My fave gotta be when they all [Tokio's members] got so cute playing around and be like this little girl big brothers! Too.. too cute!  And of course Papi Shigeru got his kakkoi time also hehehehe.  Too bad Milky furen came late, so she didn't get to watch the Tokio DVD.  [hmmm... 2 Ciska at the same place at the same time... good thing now they have their "japanese names" now, so we don't have to get confused hahahaha] 
We were at VQ's place till around 7.30 pm and when I reached home, the first thing the maid told me.. "mbak, tadi ada pesen dari ibu disuruh nyusul ke Ambassador blah blah blah".  and i know it's not her fault, and i wasn't really angry at her personally, but man.. I was tired... and did quite a bit of walking to get home, and then i have to go back? when I just passed the darn mall like 10 minutes before?? Aaarrrghhhhh!  They said they couldn't get through to me which I told them later.. that's just impossible.. I've checked my cell from time to time, and Qisthy's SMS all got in fine... I even checked my cell before leaving VQ's place!  Since they only left the house like half an hour before... I decided that I better just go. So I only changed my tee and sandals then washed my face and went out again. Good thing the mall is near. Turned out its a big family dinner with my sister's in law family coz th ey're going back home the next day. Oh well, the food was delicious. Specially the duck and prawns  ^______^
 

And on Sunday I checked my blog and yokatta.....!!!  The Nino-Sho blinky works fine this time... the size didn't get reduce or anything like before...  *grabbed Ki-chan's hands and do the dance of joy together... Yeah! Yeah!*   finally... looks kawaii ne..??  makes all the hours of working on the pics all worth it....  ^_____^  hmmm... i wanna do one on Leader.. hahahaha  the adorable Arashi's Leader... 
 
Also got round to finally watch dorama nya tsuba, Myiake and the cute cute Toma, "Neverland".  Gomen ne bu endah... lupa kalo gue minjem.. ketutupan tumpukan vcd Arashi.. hahahahaha But it was a good dorama.  Nothing silly like you would expect from a boy's dorama or something like it, in fact all the subject was quite a serious matter. How these boys how to handle their past, their present situation and themself, and of course adapting themself to their serounding so that they'll be able to face the future and be the kind of man that they hope they'll be. It's all good. I like it a lot. And Tsuba looks kakkoii and Toma just the cutest! hahahaha  i love his blabber mouth and over happy attitude.
 
On a personal note: don't think I'll be able to see Hika-chan and not remeber that he's like.. my "stepson"  hahahahaha.  Trying to link him and everything about him with his "parents" hahahaha  *pletak diri*  Junko-chan... I know why he woke up instantly when they woke him up that morning  [you know.. compare to Yabu-chan] ---->  didikan bapak nya!!  kan galak tuh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA  inget Hawaii ??
 

 
"Sakurai Palace, Hika's room"
 
Stepmom: Hika-kun, wake up. [sambil tepok tepok tangan Hika]
Stepmom: Hika-kun.. wake up dear, or you'll be late.
Hika: hmmmm.... [tapi tetep belom buka mata]
Stepmom: Hika-kun... come on. Don't you have a practice today? The car will pick you up soon, you better get up or they'll leave you.
Hika: hmmm.. still sleepy.. can i sleep ten more mintues?
Stepmom: no dear.. your alarm clock already rang 15 minutes ago.
[buka gorden.... trus balik lagi ke Hika yang  sembunyi di balik selimut]
Stepmon: Hika-kun...
[then suddenly from the door..]
 
Dad: Hika, wake up..  don't give your mother a hard time.
Hika: Yes daddy [tapi masih dibalik selimut]
Dad: Hika!!  Get up now or I'm taking you to the practice myself!
Hika: I'm up!  I'm up!  [kata Hika yang langsung bangun dan cepet2 ke kamar mandi]
 
the thought of the long drive with Dad dearest ternyata agak2 mengerikan juga.
 

 

 
i'm in the verge on going nuts...!!  ngerjain pictures untuk project blinky "Nino-Sho"  gue dan Ki-chan.. ada satu yang tau2 size nya beda sendiri, ada yg tampilan akhir di blog gue dan Qisthy beda, dll dll etc etc.  Trus tadi karena ada yang harus di bikin ulang, akhirnya we decided untuk added a couple... wait, a few more pics  *pletak pletak diri biar sadar*   Mana gue belom biasa pake Photoshop 7 yang of course canggihan dari 5.5 dimana ada hal2hal yang bikin gue excited, tapi ada hal2 yang bikin gue gregetan karena nggak se simple versi 5.5  aarrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

I hope hasil akhirnya [the 2nd version] of that blinky udah baek. Nee.. Ki-chan... lain kali kalo gue punya ide gila.. coba tolong di pentung aja... onegaii... [hahahahahahaha]  Untung masih ngerjain Sho & Nino... so.. the love was there...  walaupun sampe kesel tapi ouke lah.
And now.. let me go to my own corner and cry some more at my bank account who's suffering of the lack of money in it, and will suffer some more when these mags come to our shore....

Duet August


Wink Up August

Irini grabbed Lord Sakurai and dragged him away from all his adoring fans, and locked him up in the Sakurai Tower and enjoy him for herself...  *slurpss*   ^______^ 
 

still in "influence by the joniz"  mode

ceki ceki email kemaren.. VQ-chan found something new..  its kinda cute and well, just take it for fun yo..  ^__^   so i've insert a few times, with "irini" only, "ira"  only, then mix irini with my surname name, and then my "legal"  first name with my surname. It turned out quite the same, so i guess i'm either doomed for those names or the machine is really... something.
I have two first names:
1. Chiaki (very fine in autumn)
2. Kumiko (eternal beautiful child)

and my family name is the same for every account i tried my names:Fujiwara, meaning wisteria fields. [wisteria: a climbing shrub bearing clusters of purplish or white flowers]
so.. i think i'll use my japanese family name now with the girls who also starting to use their japanese names  ^__^  kyaaaa  yang cheese cakes names aja belom dimantabin udah ada yang baru lagi yah girls.. hahahahahahaha
watashi no namae wa Fujiwara desu..
why fujiwara? just coz it sounds so japanese and there are 2 other girls that have the same name [chiaki]  with me  ^___^

get your japanese name by clicking  "here"
 

Then.. a few days ago, me and Ki-chan came up with a n idea to have a "brotherly love"  blinky pics after she's done blinking my Sho's pics.  Darn it, i guess my photoshop got overdose when i worked on my Sho's pics coz then it went error!!  hahahahahahaha  so, i have to re-install the program.   Its exciting and yet irritating a bit, having to adjust from photoshop 5.5 to 7. but last night, i finally done doing the pics and send it over to Ki-chan so she can do her part and got them...  "blinking" hehehehehe.  It's done. It's up on our blogs... although i think i have to re-size mine again, coz ninomi & sho-kun faces looks all scrunch-up..  bleh...

Yay.. Ki-chan...  a Nino & Sho pics blinky...!!btw.. to Nino & Sho fans.. if you want it on your blog.. you can.. just save the blinky to your own server and link back to either my blog or Qisthy's blog.  'kay..   ^______^
 
btw... blogger is changing again... anyone notice that?? 
more tools for writing your entry... its good.. i guess.. 
    

"Madness"


the past few days has been mixed madness, i guess, but they're all good ^__^
let's see...

---> Glodok Madness
for the unkown... its a place for all the cheaper stuff and the heaven for non-original stuff.. get what i mean? *__^ went there with MayLee, she needed the break.. right sis? before that we went to PS to meet up with Lizzie to get the Arashi's CDs.. whuaaaaaaahhh my first Arashi stuff !! thank you sooooo much Pacar Opa yang udah bersusah payah jalan2 nyariin dan SMS-in yang bikin gue panik hehehehe. Takki Jia You!! [kaburr dari timpukan KunDa...]

it was a hot day and so being in Glodok didn't help much.. but this time we ventured in to the deep og glodok, or a few store more in anyway hehehehe. I remember that I wanted to buy Buffy DVD soooo much... been wanting it for ages and then someday I saw it at MangDu!!! imagine the shock that I had! To my disappointment.. no Buffy Season 1 or 2. They have part 1 of Season 6 but i don't want it, I don't even want it as a present! That's how much I don't want it. Why? Well, if you're an avid fan of the series since the beginning, and even so if you're a B/A Shipper [a fan of buffy & angel relationship] then the joy has end with season 3. Season 4 practically non existance to us and Riley Finn... who is Riley Finn? I don't know a Riley... [all B/A Shipper in denial that a character name Riley doesn not exist in B/A world ^__^]

anyway, no such luck finding the DVD, but I did find another DVD that I've been wanting for ages..! Robbie Williams Live at Albert Hall... kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa happy.. happy.. happy me...!! I loveeeeeeeee the CD with all the duets Robbie had with Jon Lovits etc.. some songs are just wacky.. but that's why we love Robbie Williams right..? ^__^
other than that precious DVD, I also bougth a couple of other stuff and a stack of blank CDs ehmm ehmm


---> Arashi Madness
on Sunday my dad went back to Bali, but my Mom stay until further notice... *a very mix feeling about this... very mix!* when all the prayer has been said and all the aunts & uncles went.. I began my duty to clean the house etc while my other aunt cooked. Since the house was pretty much empty, I put on the Arashi's HWG CD on the cd player at the living room and crack up the volume! Woo hoo... NICE! I love this album [thanx Juju-chan for the MP3 ^__^ ] that's why I decided to buy it. And i looooooveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Sho's rapping part! Have I said that I love Sho's rap? hehehehehe Hmmmm my fave gotta be he's rapping in "Ima Ai wo Katarou" and of course "All or Nothing". I keep repeating track 12-14... [man.. gotta make a copy before I destroy the CD hahahahahaha] *sigh* soooo nice to be able to hear Sho-kun's voice out loud [sorry to all my neighbours and my aunt for the deafening hour hahahaha] And in "Ima Ai wo Katarou"... Sho's voice just got so husky and sexy and... help!! I'm melting! ^___^

I also love the "secret talk" on their CD single... wish i understand what they're talking about but hey, just hearing them talking and laughing and teasing O-chan and laughing is so nice.. ne...? ^__^ [thanks also VQ-chan for lending me her Arashi cd singles collection]


---> Buffy Madness
on Saturday, promised to meet up with Milky furen at Ambassador to have lucnh, coz I keep getting leftover in my own house... Afterlunch we were on our way to cross from the Ambassador Mal to ITC and a very "funny" thing happened. I've crossed that place many many times... but before I always pay attention to the few step coz I just such an accident prone that I had to be careful even its only a a 3-4 steps.. very silly. But what did I spot at that little vcd/dvd kiosk?? Buffy?? I just gotta stop and ask..
"mbak... itu Buffy nya season berapa yah?" *heart beating in anticipation*
*oh itu season 1 dan 2. tapi satunya blah blah blah..." *the rest of her sentences just go unheard*
oh man.... crappola i didn't bring enough money [the price isn't the same as the regular dvd] but season 1 is in my hand!!! OHMAIGOK!! *joygasm. joygasm* Just thinking of the first time buffy meeting Giles, Willow, Xander and... Angel... the first kiss... kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

kinda funny seeing the first season though... Buffy still chubby and wore a very mini skirt all the time, Angel still not-buff and looking more like a vampire than he is a hunk on the future seasons. Willow still long hair and brunette.. the only thing thing that doesn't change much is Giles and Xander's goofiness ^__^
gosh.. I finish 10 episodes in one longgggggggggggg go.... needless to say i was very sleepy the next day, but very very satisfied too ^__^


---> Sakurai Sho Madness
who?? me?? never! [^___* hahahahaha such a liar!!]
by this point in time, i love everything that i know of of this Sakurai Sho guy. His choices in things [music, clothes, his life], his way of thinking, his maturity, his wacky crazy personality, his temper and detemination towards things. Love his talking voice, his rapping voice, his laughing voice. His "don't mess with me" attitude, his gentleness, his six-packed hahahahahaha I'm a Shokunholic! What more do you need me to say? ^___^ I know there are many fans out there who've been his fans longer than me, whom knowledge of this Sakurai Sho much much more than me, but that's okay. I've got no probs with that. I'm not proclaiming that I'm his #1 fan or what ever, but I do like this guy so much, and I'll keep the love and share the love Irini's way ^___^

A couple of days ago, I asked Ki-chan if she would help me make a Sho pics blinkie... and she said yes! Next step.. I got so confused of which pics to choose from... i love many of his pics, even his younger days and his bad hair-do days.. well, okay.. i don't love some of his pics when he's got this bad hair style but what can I do? It's still Sho underneath those.. those hair! ^___^ Then I got my priority straight.. and start choosing. Hours went by from deciding, screen capping, choosing, and more hours at prettying the pics with photoshop etc etc etc. and of course there's also times of when I got side-track *__^ but finally.. 10 pics of Sakurai Sho all done, stamped and bordered!! hahahahahaha is TEN too much??

Send it to Ki-chan, SMS-ed confirmation, and by the power of Arashi love... *toeng... ira mulai gila!* It's done! It's in photobucket! It's up in MPA!!! kyaaaaaaaa kyaaaaaaaa kyaaaaaaaa... joy joy joy ^___^ much love and thanx to Ki-chan!! [udah puas ilerin Ninomi nya?? *___^] How do you like my pic blinkie?? hehehehe

and of course thanx also to Juju-chan for the "Shokunholic" word blinkie... [di tunggu karya karya berikutnya... *wink wink* hahahaha] Ki-chan asked me at first if i want to use some words like what she did with her pic blinkie in her blog.. thought about it... didn't know what should i say in between pics so I decided to just put all pics and plastered them all with my signature... "Shokunholic"... hehehehehe Did put some words in the end, just so coz I choose an Arashi pic to end the blinkie.

Oh ya kalo ada yang wondering what with the "mujadul" pics? Well, I made up my mind to use pics of when I first fell heads over heal for Sho, and the first time I noticed him is not from HIG concert, or Suppin concert, not even from JSD 2000-2003, but weirdly enough is from "V no Arashi". So I choose that for the first pic, then his pic from HCW2, and then to just pics of him that I really really really love... so far ^___^



*shrugg shoulder* whoaaah another long entry... but then, that's what i usually do... blabbing ^____^
oh yeah, i've decided that there's no "part 2" for the story of last weekend... just simply coz its already quite "basi" now
beside.. i don't want to bore you to your grave... hehehehe

goodnight peeps... sleep well... *i hope to dream of Arashi tonight.. ^__^ * and GBU
oyasumi......... wan an..

Last Weekend Laughter...... part 1


okay.... since my last weekend were spent with groups of friends... you can also read the other version here, here, here, here, here and here! and in many other MPA JE fellow blogs ^_____^


Thursday/Friday: GC was panicking on arranging how to go to Gi-chan's house for her farewell gathering. It came to an arrangement that since VQ will spent the night before D Day at Endah's with the two Kunti, so it left me Juju and Ming2 to go alone by bus. But as I was asking Jenn for the bus direction and so on, she recommend that I got in touch with Dta. After a few SMS, Dta is kindly agreed to meet us all in PS that Saturday, so that we can go together with her car. Yokatta.... no more fear of getting lost, trust me.. i'm an expert on getting lost ^___^

On Saturday, I was the first one arrived at PS... which is good coz lately i almost arrived with indonesian watch/time for appointments [meaning: i almost always late!! bad me..!] Had fun visiting the Kinokuniya book store for the first time since it moved to the fifth floor [which by the way why they call it "Kino on five" is rather.. grammatically incorrect.. isn't it? should be.. "Kino on fifth".. five is like they're suggesting that Kino is open at five am/pm.... anywayzzz]

baka me got lost in that big Kino! can you believe that?? hahahahaha I've spent like 5 to 10 minutes searching for the section of japanese magazine! hahahaha when i finally spotted it... i began to open the plastic wrapped from one magazine to another, which in the end is kinda good coz i help Dta in buying another magazine that has Ninomi-kun in it... [well... i think it was a good thing since she said she has no regret buying it after a few days later... hahahaha yokatta ne.. Dta-chan.. ^__^] I myself was kinda in a limbo.. should I or shouldn't I buy that mag...? then decided to put it down since I already bought enough for this month, then was gonna go for a Starbuck as a compensation... but ended up buying a cute doggy keychain/accessory thingy hahahaha....

the ride to Gi-chan house was pretty smooth i guess, the traffic wasn't so bad up until near the area where her house is located. That and the fact that Nova-chan wasn't 100% positively sure which turn to take!! As you can imagine.. my group [Dta, Nova, Ming Ming, Lina, Juju & Linzq] was the last to arrive... just in time to see some other peeps on their way out to go home!! Gomen ne Gi-chan......

I was surprised to see Tina-chan was there... and well, you know the routine when women meet... you can expect some Kyaaa Kyaaa Kyaaa moments to happens and this time is no difference, except because some other peeps are from other town its more like KYAAAAAAAA KYAAAAAAAA KYAAAAAAAA ^___^ especially when I spotted Qisthy & Putri and vice versa... boy.. we're kinda a rude guests aren't we hahahahahaha

Lunch was superb... doesn't matter that we were starving but the food was delicious... yummss all over. During that time, IJ's own famous anchor woman, miss jenn, took hold of a DVCam and started to record everyone and everyone got their own solo part too... udah kayak Arashi DVD aja hahahaha... but boy it was fun! and silly and funny and.... did I say fun? ^__* And then Tina & Nova started the silly thing, you know when in the news a reporter was out in the street asking someone and usually some more people were grinning and acting silly in the background of the person being interviewed? Well, they did that... and then all of us started doing that also.. including me! hahahah [ i told this part to my friend Maya and you know what she said? She said.. "kayak O-chan aja lo.." hahahahaha that's right! O-chan always making faces on the camera when he's not directly in front of the camera!] but when the camera was on me personally i started to freeze and just grinning like an idiot HAHAHAHAHA... but it was fun, and i had a chance to show off my Sho pic in my wallet *TOENG!!* nggak ada hubungannnnnn... should've shown Shun's instead for Gi-chan sake hahahahaha

We also found out that we have IJ's Takki Alumni !! wakakakaka... how many people was it that has changed their Ichiban from Takki to someone else?? 5? 6? and then we also have our own "Kinki Kids". Nova as Tsuyo & Qisthy as Koichi... and they pretended to be KK in front of the camera... sooo funny! Too bad we can't make an "Arashi" team coz there's too many Sho & Nino and lack of Ohno! hahahahaha but it doesn't stop EVERYBODY to go "arashi! arashi! for dream....... " everytime there's a chance to do the song & dance in front of the camera! My gosh... I would love to watch the recording of that day again... I was grinning and laughing from the time I got in the house and left.



pics coutesy of "Dianne"


We left Gi-chan house after 3 or 3.30 pm coz we actually already have plan, was kinda sad to leave early but we have no choice. Told the girls [the team has change to me, Qisthy, Endah,Putri, Vicky, Ciska, Ming Ming, Juju] that we had to make a pit stop at my house to feed the dogs. And then as we're turning pass Gelael I remember the last time we were at Baker's Inn and told the guests that "we're going to pass by Cheese Cake Factory if you girls feels like a bite.." and like any decent yummy cake lovers we all agree to stop by ^___^ and afterward, it was decided to make another BC... a cheese cake BC.. hahahahahahaha Diets start tomorrow eeh girls *__^

Then.. we're on the road again... and next stop.. Pekan Raya Jakarta!! Yokatta... I always visit the PRJ every year since about 2-3 years ago, just coz its kinda a fun outside campus activity to do with your friend from campus, but this time with the CC BC.. its even better! As always I mostly buy food.. or snack rather.. hahahaha I dunno.. its just fun to buy them in their special package with their special price with special "embel2" as an addded bonus.

This year... with new info from bu Juju, we went to OTG stand to buy tooth brush! hahahahaha but not just any tooth brush.. no sir.. we buy them so that we can have them personalize with our chosen names!! poor guys who had to made the names... 20 names of different nick and its not even indonesian! Let's see... there's Tomoya, Sakurai, Ohno, KunDa, Niu Nai. Aiba, Nino, Yamapi, Akajin [thanx VQ 4 the correction *__^]... and well.. you get what i mean... 20 toothbrushes.. count them.. TWENTY TOOTH BRUSHES plus 2 more as a bonus!! ^___^ but hell, it was fun and i don't think we had so much laughter from just buying tooth brush! and the other best part for me... is that small thing was received with great delight from Cicha, Maya & Lizzie when I gave them a toothbrush with their ichiban's name on it... yokatta ne.... ^__^

Let's see.. i also bought a special package/offer of Indofood snacks, Mie Sedaap, Mi-U [something that i look forward to since last year visit.. hehehehe] and Lollipops thankx to bu Juju and her "Sweet Eyes" [Ju, jadi rada nyesel nggak beli banyakan.. enak yah... hehehehe] But Endah got into an unfortunate incident... she lost her wallet with everything in it, including Yabu & Koki's precious pics *__^ Me, Ming Ming, Putri, VQ & Ciska waited while the other went to report it to the officials. It was pretty tiring just stood around with no where to sit and stomach getting hungrier by the second! After a while we decided to get inside the empty booth that we use to lean on, worse case that could happend is only to got told by the PRJ people to get out from there. So we sat there eating popcorn and just being quiter than we have been the whole day. When the others finally came back, it was quite shocking to learn that most theif/pick pockets in the fair were women, young and old!!! WHUAAAHH...

We got out from the PRJ area to get something to eat and on the way a good news came that a woman found Endah's wallet and we decided to go to her place right after dinner. It was almost midnight when we reached her place, got stucked at Menteng first... damn street! Got home with a very sore pair of feet... and when I finished showering, Lady was already deep in sleep that it took me a while to get her off the sofa so that i can turned it into my bed... hahahaha poor thing.... I guess that was part of the reason why my dad SMS-ed me and asked what time i'll be home?? hahahahahahahahaha


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


whuaaaaahhhhhhhhh panjang banget laporan nyaaaaaa ^_____^

btw, kelupaan mulu mau cerita... kyaaaa kali ke tiga gue mimpi yg ada hubungan nya dengan joniz idols...
pertama dengan nagase [it was a funny.. groups dream] kedua ama Ninomi-kun [we're on a date, riding a bike.. all i can remember is i was hugging his waist tight from behind... takut jatuh kali... gue kan penakut kalo naik motor... hahahahaha] yang ketiga .. its soo weird... not to mention so "mixed up".

a cousin of mine died and i went to the church service, after that i went to join juju to see well, i guess its J-Friends performing! Not only its still in the same building area as the church service... it was like the J-Friends perform in a show case kinda thing.... kinda like Energy waktu promo tour. Then me and Juju was going nuts on Tsuyo who was singing on stage, we go like... "aarghh itu Tsuyo...! itu Tsuyo...!" sambil nunjuk2 ke Tsuyo yg disebelahnya ada Koichi.. dengan kostum kayak di F Concert yg pake topi dan bulu2 merah itu... [kyaaaaa baru nyadar kalo mimpi gue kali ini ada warnanya...!! hahahaha] as we're doing that, we spotted Marsa, and I remembered Mami, so I decided to take a pic of him. But as I was about to take Marsa pic with my camera when someone took my left hand, i thought it was Qisthy [where did she came up from?? ^__^ ] and i was just ignoring it coz i was busy trying to captured Marsa, but then that someone kiss my hand! eeeeh?? when I looked up, it wasn't Qisthy at all, it was Okada!! hahahahahahaha after that Okada left and went back to the stage, and me & juju went back to go "Tsuyo..! Tsuyo..!" bingung nggak sih???? knapa juga jadi campur aduk nggak karuan...


kyaaaaaaaa gue mau mimpi Sho dong.... ^_____^

[girls, "real entry" menyusul yah.. hehehehe]


been watching a couple of doramas lately... one of Sakurai Sho's "Yoiko no Mikata" and one of Ninomiya Kazunari's "Namida wo Fuite" dan gokilnya gue, gue tonton itu dua-dua nya dengan bermodal kan cinta! Meaning? Karena gue nggak ngerti japanese tapi tetep kekeh di tonton dari awal dampe akhir no skipping.. so.. yeah.. mereka ngomong apa gue nggak ngerti walau garis besar cerita yah "ngeh" lah ^___^


nggak nyangka kan... ini Sho... so cute yah ^_____^


I'll just pretend he's gazing at me everyday.... *gubrakssss*


correction: "that smile" does not captured only the children but me also lah... or should I say that lips captured the H-ness in me....hahahahahahaha *me goes officially Sho crazy.............!!*

big thanx to bu dianne and bu ditta for lending me the dorama... mwaks mwaks!!


but, speaking of "H", got this from Crayon Arashi "back-issue" [thank you ever so much to Ann of Crayon Arashi!! ^__^] Reading it last night just made laughing so hard... baka boys... ^__^


10.Are you H? [H means 'dirty-minded'--sexual sense ^^;]
OHNO [I don't think I am]
SAKURAI [I am H!]
AIBA [Yes!]
NINOMIYA [I think I am H]
MATSUMOTO [Yes I am]

11.Who is the most H in ARASHI?
OHNO [Who?......Shou kun]
SAKURAI [All are H, including me (laugh)]
AIBA [Shou kun, isn't he?]
NINOMIYA [Shou kun]
MATSUMOTO [Sakurai and me]

----> OHMAIGOK... Sho!!!!! kenapa pula semua bisa kompak jawab dia? berarti betul dong! hahahahahahaha Nere-chan.. bapak and His Lordship ada kesama-an yo.. hahahahahaha


13.Are you able to be naked in front of people?
OHNO [I hate being nude. It makes me feel sick! But I was having a shower the other day, and Aiba chan just walked in the bathroom naked (laugh)]

SAKURAI [I don't like being nude but Ninomiya and Aiba always walk around naked]
AIBA [No problem at all that if people ask 'Will you do nude photo?' I will go......yes. Taking a Japanese public bath is also OK for me. But I won't be naked in front of family members though. It's embarrassing]

NINOMIYA [No problem. I am filled with the energy of the youth!]
MATSUMOTO [I can't. Though I take off the shirt often but I don't like to be naked. Though Aiba and Ninomiya often take off their clothes]

ohya, ada pengecualian ternyata sama Namida wo Fuite, kan baru sampe cd 4 nonton nya, nah di situ ada bagian Kenta detto ama pacarnya yg dari kemaren2 kayaknyalagi rusuh. And I LOVE THAT PART... what part? the detto part lah... Nino looks so so cute to the bone... and dia ama ceweknya just so kawaiiiiii together ^___^
trus forward a few days after the date, kok si Kenta rada2 ada something ama tu cewe pelayan toko tempat dia beli lunchie.. gue curiga deh dan sebel, langsung pasang cd terakhir tadi malem... en bener kan, tuh cewe pelayan toko ada, dan ada kejadian ama Kenta... aaaaah sebel!! Tapi belom sampe tamat gue udah ketiduran, jadi nggak tahu ending nya gimana.

Dta-chan... Nova-chan... helppppp... sinopsis dong... onegaisimasu...!!
^____^




this scene bikin gue senyam senyum sendiri... kawaiiii...... hehehe

dan ini yang meranin adek bungsu nya Nino... so cute yah... apakah dia masih se cute ini sekarang?? pengen gue adopt deh.. hahahahaha



hmmmmm, kalo that part of Kenta ending nya gue sebel... at least I still have Yoiko no Mikata to look forward to finish watching. Man.... itu dorama... [Yoiko no Mikata] I've never seen Sho-kun play a role that required him to be all sweet and all smiling all day everyday!! hahahahahahaha gue dan terbiasa dengan peran2 dia yang galak or jutek even though dibalik itu semua he's still a sweet person ^__^ fall in love with Sho juga gara2 peran dia yang cool dan jutek abis di V no Arashi hehehe


Ohya.. and bu Juju almost give me a heart attack waktu malem2 nge-tag gue.. "Sho rambut nya udah pirang lagiiii...!" gue instantly WHAaaaa????? Nooooooooo..... my heart langsung berkeping-keping deh... hiks hiks hiks... [hiperbola dikit... ^__^] damn!! just when i was still enjoying his jet black hair!


---> Sakurai's pic courtesy of "Summer" <---

tapi ternyata... just went brown again... and not blonde like i assumed it was....phew... what a HUGE relieve it was. Sho's just NOT the blonde type of guy yo... hmmm and it got me thinking seeing him in his new hair colour, maybe its to hide his chubby cheeks?? coz with his jet black hair, his cheek does seems sooo chubby these days... and it looked less chubby now... hahahahahaha darlin... i love your chubby cheeks kok..!!! hahahahahaha

Welcome to July...


and what have you done in June..? ^__^

well, first thing first.. Doumo Arigatou to VQ for the Samurai Sho's pics.. it's from Arashi PARCO CM/add. Arashi dressed up in Samurai's gear and they all look so different somehow ^__^ and Sho Sakurai just... never look yummier!! its really a wonder i didn't faint when i saw this pic for the first time... hahahahahaha ^__^

so i've been trying on different layout since a few days ago, but found nothing that i really liked. I've decided to do a simpler one, but just couldn't decide which one i like. Then today, realized that it's already July, decided to give it another try [thanx Juju-chan for the "inspiration" ^__^] And then after decided between this pictures and pic from Myojo8.. I gave this one a try. Bump into a problem and got me worried a bit, but then it worked out and.. yokatta.... so happy happy happy with how it turns out. I like how Sho-kun looks like in my blog... kyaaaaaa kakkoii ne... Did I say I'm happy with this layout? hahahahaha and I managed to keep MPA in black! Ureshii...
Now... if only I can tear my self away from His Lordship pics and get on on the actual writing an entry.... ^___^

well, yesterday went to PS to see Panji and his Taiko group performing. Turned out its because Kinokuniya had this little "book fair" kinda thing at the lobby area of the Plaza, i think its because they've moved to the 5th floor and became HUGE.... talked about that one later. So anyway.. met up with VQ, Juju and Cicha and at 7 pm the Taiko started. Whuaah.. first time stand almost directly in front of Panji and his drum, and because its indoor, with soundsystem.. the sounds was thunderess.. kakkoii ne Panji-chan.. Too bad VQ had to leave early due to his Beijing's friend ^__^

I almost pass the stacks of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" when at the split second decision I picked up one book and turned it around.. whaaaaaaaa?? on sale for 85 thousands rupiah?? Hounto...??? Well, i couldn't just pass a good opportunity now could I? ^___^ And today I found out another HP info: Book 6 will be titled--> Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and yes.. the info is from JK.Rowling herself. And she let out another hint, the half blood prince.. its not Harry nor Voldy. And i think we should re-read the whole series again for clues, coz that what Rowling likes to do.. give hints here and there in the previous books.
Another HP info: DVD of HP3 will be out November 2004, and the 4th movie.. November 2005!
And Ralph Fienned might play as You Know Who.. *__^


I broke my restrained and watch the HP PoA movie on DVD first, still haven't watch it on the theater due to Lady sickness and then Maya's mom got hospitalized. I'm gonna see it on the big screen first and then give my opinion on it.. so far, its different than the critics.

I wanna say thanks also to all of you who expressed concern for me and Lady, it does means a lot to me. Arigatou minna.. ^__^ I'm glad to say that she's much much better now. The swollen on her eye has gone and the blood has stop oozing out, and yeah..! no more stinky smell.. ^__^

oh yeah.. about the new..bigger.. Kinokuniya at PS.. I was at lost looking for the Japanese Magazine section!! hahahaha I was llike walking and walking and walking... until i finally found it.. in a corner.. so very near Starbucks!!! I think I was still in a dazed when came live reports via SMS from one Chincila who's having an idol attack because of Mi Jia Le at HMV Singapore.. hahahaha.. at least now we know that that drama is so worth the wait.. isn't that right Toto? Ooooh pengocoran....... ^____^


Oyasuminasai.... GBU... MMMwaks!!
