I went to Tumblr (add me: http://theahhmoment.tumblr.com/) and did a search of Arashi.




Tumblr looks kinda fun. :D

I'm NOT hating on the Koreans, but what's up with the Arashi's fans falling into the Korean fandoms these past couple weeks? It started out with just one or two fans, and then BAM, the Korean love past onto a few (OR MORE) other Arashi's fangirls. And now all of you guys are into Koreans guys now. XD

I just thought it's funny. That's all. :P But I think I'll stick with my Japanese fandoms. Something about Korean guys just dont really pull me in as much as the Japanese guys. I still love Korean food if that makes a difference. XD

On a totally random note, I'm following Justin Long and Shia Labeouf on Twitter. I feel like just ONE STEP CLOSER to them now. Hahaha. <3

So I finally got my AAA08 DVD on Monday in the mail. I watched half of the concert this morning. I saw soooo many boys in the audience! I felt so happy to see boys in there to watch their performance. So awesome. :D I just loved how they performed "Still...". I freakin love that song! And I love their clothes (so far).

So Utada's CD, I got it when it first came out on Tuesday at Best Buy. I like maybe half of the CD. The photographs for the booklet is really awesome though. I like the clean and simple look just like Heart Station's style. I'll have to admit I like her Japanese songs better. I'm not much a R&B person so I prefer her Japanese stuff much more. :P That's just me. Hopefully if she ever have a concert here in the States, she'll sing some of her Japanese songs too!

Because of the whole Stormyteam deal recently (nevermind, I'm a member again!), I had to switch gear on where I watch my jdramas. I was watching Smile ep3 with Chinese sub online. But it just kept pausing so I just kinda gave up half way. -___-" I'll watch it tomorrow.

I havent watch any ANS recently. Any funny ones you guys recommend? Easy to understand without sub? Haha~

I was looking at Google Map. And I gave some thoughts into this. I want to travel! Here are some places I want to go in my... lifetime(actually before I turn 30). I really want to accomplish these "travel goals", so here I am, setting them up here:

In 3 years/Before 25 years old:
-Hong Kong (Again, I love my hometown)
-Japan! (You know why already)

In 4 years/Before 26 years old:
-Sweden (Coolest place EVER!)

In 6 years/Before 28 years old:
-Germany
-England
-Japan (You can never get enough of this place)

In 8 years/Before 30 years old:
-Italy
-Hong Kong
-Thailand (Went there when I was 12. I love their food!)

Only if I save enough $$$ for these places!

I have a Twitter for a while now. If you want to add me, it's the same username I have on here, "theahhmoment". ---->http://twitter.com/theahhmoment

I watched "Smile" last night! Finally! I was waiting of the hardsubed version and I'm glad my wait is over. I'm REALLY impressed with Jun's acting! He's getting good with this acting thing! Haha. When he cried in the episode, my mom passed by and she was all, "Who's that crying? Sounds so realistic." LMAO. I told her is "Jun", but I doubt she heard me. I'm really in love with the relationship Jun and Yui have going on in the show, it's pretty unique. And I just can't wait til to watch them fall in love and all! :D But the bullying and all that bull crap in the show kinda pissed me off. This kinda stuff really happen in real life, and I just feel really sorry for Vito. I just want to give Vito-kun a hug when he was just sitting there crying. T0T I'm no Filipino but I kinda understand how he feels.

I'm downloading "Quiz Show" right now. I'll watch that tomorrow.

Yesterday I went to Sanseido Bookstore at lunch time during work. I saw 2 copies of TV mag with REALLY cute Jun on the cover. I thought I'll just buy it today so I can get double stamp(they have this stamping system at the store, long story...). June Popolo was also there but it cost $9.80 or something like that there. I told myself I'll buy it along with the TV mag today. But heck! Today I went again and both TV mag is not there anymore. Popolo is still there but, I thought I'll drive over to Kinokuniya and check. So I drove really fast (don't want to be late to work) and headed to Kino. No freakin TV mag. T0T So sad. They have Popolo for couple cents cheaper so I got that. I guess I save $6 for not buying that thing. Oh pretty Jun~

Oh and warriorkitana Here are some songs that I recommend for you by Twins. I don't really listen to them a lot but here are my fav by them. I hope youtube videos are ok for you. LOL.
-戀愛大過天: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRLwV36oWsQ
-下一站天后: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4LPxW_4hHE
-你不是好情人: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgcEL-4iMwo
-女校男生(this is the PV w/ Edison in it. LMAO) :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_3SgXMgQJU
If you want other Cantonese songs/artists recommendations, let me know. I have A LOT. :D

Oh yeah! Last thing! I really want to mention HOW FREAKIN ADORABLE Nino looks in the June Popolo. I just adore his face in it. And his hair! Totally makes him cuter. ^_________^

Only 66%? I don't believe that... Why so low? I'm kinda disappointed. If I don't remember ALL the members b-day, doesn't mean I'm not a big fan, it means I don't have good memory!

You are 66% obsessed with Arashi.

 

As far as the Japanese fandom is concerned, those who are 51-67% obsessed with a Japanese boy band is pretty much as normal as it gets. Congratulations, you know more than the average newbie, but you also have more things to learn about our favorite boys! :)

So as you all know, ever since I got paid last Thurs., I went a little bit crazy and bought TONS OF STUFF. After all those Mitsuwa and Kinokuniya magazine shopping trip on Thurs., Friday my sis and I went to Target and bought more stuff. XD I got Grey's Anatomy season 3 DVD and a cute shirt (shirt was 3 bucks!!! Yays~).

Saturday I went to Torrance with my Japanese friend Naoko. We went to Mitsuwa, I bought 2 more magazines for like $2 each. They had this blow out sale so I was glad to found anything Johnnny's related stuff. I bought 2 mags there, one Nino and the other one Miura Haurma/Sato Takeru on the cover. We stopped by Book Off there. But didn't find anything. After that we went to find Marukai. But unfortunately we got lost for like 15 mins. At the end we found Marukai but it WASN'T the Marukai we were looking for, since we want to go to this restaurant that's next to that particular Marukai. So Naoko asked another Japanese man and we finally got the directions! :D

We went to a Japanese restaurant across from Marukai in Gardena and eat dinner. Naoko said they have the best French bread and pasta(J-style!), so I was really excited to try something new! We both ordered the Urchin Seaweed Squid. It was SOOO good! (I took a picture of it but too lazy to upload to my laptop. =P) I fell in love with that pasta, and I'll totally take my friend there next time. After that we went to Marukai and walked around. We both bought a TV mag for $1.5 and Ohno's Oniisan is on the cover! :D So cheap! Later we went to Book Off (yes, another B.F.) next to Marukai and it they were closing. T0T I determined to buy all the Arashi's stuff at all the Book Off, you know... Hahaha. So after the Torrance trip, we went to Naoko's place in Costa Mesa. We hung out for a bit and talked about Arashi's stuff. =P

Yesterday, Sunday... I went to Rowland Heights w/ my parents. Lunch at Garden Cafe, the usual stuff. After that, went to the mall w/ my best friend Brian. He needed to shop for shoes so I tagged along. At the end he didn't buy any shoes. He bought clothes though! Got home and watched Mei-chan! And here comes the nose bleeding stuff guys...

( Hiro you're killing me! Spoiler warning! )

Other than Eikura Nana is so cute and pretty AND LUCKY, I don't know what else to say guys. I'm kinda SO jealous.

I know there will be another season of this show. I mean, we gotta find out what happen to Mameshiba right? And who will Mei chan choose? I'd pick BOTH. XD But I'd date Rihito first. TOTALLY.

After I read Wendy's post, I watched some youtube videos of her and for some reason I decided to Wikipeida Utada Hikaru. ANDDD then, guess what? She's gonna be in Hollywood Sephora next Tuesday!

Ari, do you want to skip work and go with me?? *desperate* If so I'll call in and reserve us a seat tomorrow on Thursday.

I have to go to bed now~

**Sorry to break your layout grid, LJ friends! **

Yesterday I went to Jeana's 18th b-day party! It was so much fun. :D I had fun watching Johnny's videos w/ my girls. So much V6 and Arashi's crack! I also met their friend Jenny who is also a JE fangirl. We watched like 6 hours of videos! When I got home my eyes were watery and tried. XD I just wanted to close my eyes when I was driving home. Hahaha. Jeana's b-day cake was SO COOL because her favorite Jun's picture was on it! So guess what? That picture is also my favorite picture of Jun. :D And she didn't want to eat Jun, so when we cut the cake we didn't cut Jun out. LOL.

Today I headed out w/ my college friend Garrick. We went to Old Town Orange. We didn't want to go too far coz I don't like driving plus his tires are kind bald. So we went to this restaurant and I had to use the bathroom, turned out I flooded their toilet at the end. It's totally not my fault because I didn't do anything "major" inside the bathroom, it's just it wouldn't flush at all! So I flushed it 3 times later and the water was... rushing out. Yeah, scary. So I left the bathroom without saying a word. I felt bad but I was too embarrassed to say anything.

OH! One more thing! I got the Believe CD Vanessa sent me! Thank you so much friend! *hugs* I enjoy watching the PV on my TV SO VERY MUCH. <3

I'm probably the last one to find out that Jun has a new drama out called "Smile" in April. I've been out like all day (mall w/ Ari and went to a job interview). I'm so excited for his new drama! It's a about time... =P Although I don't think Jun look anything like a Filipino, I'm not complaining. XD

Another note, for those who lives in So Cal just like me, starting Feb. 17th, channel 18.2 will play Japanese shows non-stop! YAYS! In the past, they only play Japanese stuff on the weekends at night. OMFG, I can't wait! :D I wonder what kinda show they'll put up.

And yays for Shige's new butai as well. I'm so proud of you all! <3

I watched this show,"I SURVIVED A JAPANESE GAME SHOW", last season. My sister think I should go to the casting so I might have a chance to go to Japan for free (for those lame games and win money. XD).

For 5 seconds I really thought I should do it. :D Hahaha. I'm crazy.

So Sho is going to be at the Comic Con in NYC this Feb 6th. Everyone is talking about it. I WANNA GO!

I'm jobless right now. I have a job interview tomorrow. There's a chance I might get the job. I just checked my Northwest airline account to see if I'm qualify for a free ticket. Apparently they messed up my mileage points thingy so I dont know if I have enough points to get this ticket. I want to go, but yet I just came back from Hong Kong not so long ago. Is it ok to leave home once again to see my idol? Really need to think about it.

I don't think I'm going after all. I hope there's gonna be a BIG crowd that day, so Sho will know how much fans Arashi have over here. I only wish they do the premier of "Yattaman" at the San Diego Comic Con, but not the one in NYC. Darn it. T____T

Sho chan, at least we'll be in the same country!

I'm still sick. I have a cold sore and my nose is red, and cracked. F**k. I hate it. I havent go outside for couple days, except for stupid jury duty. Why pick me? WHYYY?

Anyways, I've been thinking about some random things. Such as if MatsuJun/Shige/Ryo chan is related to me, who would he be and why, things like that.

( TOO SEXY TO BE MY OLDER BROTHER )

I got bored, plus I'm kinda sick (I've been coughing + my throat hurts) so I've been on the computer for the last couple hours, so, I made a new header for my journal.

Look! theahhmoment

Oh wow, can't believe this year passed by so fast! I accomplished so much this year as a student and also a JE fan. I had a tons of fun with my friends this year! Thank you everyone for being my friend. *hugs*



My 2008 list:
-Saw Jun film HYDF in Las Vegas.
-Met Vanessa on LJ. You're my first LJ+Real life Arashi's friend. =)
-Met the 3 Arashi Sisters. You guys are hilarious!
-Saw Jun AGAIN at USC for his movie, "The Last Princess" premier.
-Organized the "Write a message to Shige" project.
-Met another Shige's fan Michelle through the Shige's project! Remind me I'll need to turn you into a Arashi's fan someday. XD
-Participated in tons of JE fanmeets and projects. Fun stuff!
-Got to go to Vegas w/ my friend Ari over the summer.
-Finished my portfolio show w/o a problem.
-Got to go to Hong Kong by myself for a 1 month and a half vacation! I will remember that trip forever. I miss my hometown, relatives, and friends. =(
-I Fangirled and went shopping with fellow H.K. Ryo's fan, Chantel. That was really fun.
-Graduated college w/ a bachelor degree.
-Went to Vegas AGAIN (3rd time of the year) with my family. Went to The Orleans again (for food) and somehow everything reminded me of my crazy oh-my-gawd-I-saw-my-ichiban moments. Haha. XD

Umm, I guess that's it for now. Can't think straight anymore. 2009 I hope it will get better. Find a full time job. Lose some weight (that I gained from H.K. and Vegas's buffets). Get a boyfriend. Meet new people. The JE fandom will continue to grow in America. =)

-----------------------
I just finished watching the 08-09 Johnny's Count Down. The Arashi's medley was super awesome. =D Everyone looked adorable. And I want that Sho's uchiwa REAL bad. =(

Am I the last one to find out that Arashi's Beautiful Days track 6 "忘れられない/Wasurerarenai (Original karaoke)" is actually 38 mins long? Our boys talk at the end of the song?

I felt stupid coz I just found out yesterday. I was like, "Why are they talking at the end of the karaoke track?" Hahaha. XD

I dont understand what they're saying.D= I wish someone could translate it. Maybe I'll wait until my Japanese friend comes back from Japan, and ask her for help. =P

I'm leaving L.A. on Tuesday morning! So this weekend and Monday I'll have to pack. I'll have to pack 1 month and 3 weeks worth of stuff so I think I'll be pretty busy. I want to post my last entry before I go pack, so here it is!

I think when I go to Hong Kong, I'll be out-n-about most of the time, so I don't think I'll have time to go through my f-list like I used to, like actually read every entry and stuff. XD So if I dont comment please understand my situation!

Please, please, please keep me inform when it comes to Arashi or News's stuff. Especially big announcements or the "Beautiful Days" PV coz I really need to see that high def. I'm in love with that song. Link me to the LJ post or post me the link. =) Thanks so much everyone! *hugs* If you see pretty Jun/Sho/Shige/Ryo Chan/Hiro/Haruma pictures, please link me as well! I'll try to check my e-mail often, since my LJ comments links to my e-mail account...

Anyhow, I'll have tons of fun over there, and I'll miss my LJ buddies! See you guys later!

I've been watching those Arashi Around Asia videos(Taiwan) on youtube lately. And right now I'm listening to the concert mp3. It's like 2 hours long? But it's really good so far. I wish I was there to scream along with other fans. The concert sounds and looks like SO MUCH FUN. Gawd, Arashi please come to America next year~

"Ryusei no Kizuna" supposedly to come out soon. I think tomorrow or this weekend it should be up. It's one of those dramas that I'll anticipate to download every weekend, then sit down and watch it with my sister! Just like "HYD2", "Absolute Boyfriend" and "Yama Taro". XD Good times.

I havent watch "Room of King" yet, but woelvs posted some caps on her journal of ep 1. I can't til' to watch it with subs. =) Hiro is sooooo freakin adorable in it.





And I'll probably download Haruma Miura's "Bloody Monday" too, since he's just too cute to resist. <3

I saw the scans of Jun on Monochrome and I just fell in love with his expression.

So I had to make a new header just to show off Jun's pretty face. =D

theahhmoment theahhmoment theahhmoment

Bye Bye Shige! *waves*

I'll update more later this week since I'm officially done with college on Thursday. Yays? *coughs* Yeah.

Portfolio show on Thursday. I hope some of my buddies will show up, but I doubt it. =(

I also think I'm switching Sho to be my niban(instead of Nino) because he has been freakin adorable and handsome lately. XD I always switch them back and forth.

I bought my plane tickets to Hong Kong! ^_______^ Yaysss! It's a good price too, so I'm happy (coz I paid for the tickets, that's why). I'll be flying w/ Northwest Airline and it will stop in Tokyo before I make it to Hong Kong. It will also stop there again before I come back to Los Angeles! I'm so freakin excited right now. 2 hours of Japan shopping here I come! I finally get to step into Arashi and News's country once again! Only if Johnny's have a J-shop in the airport. LOL. The last time I was in Tokyo's airport was like ages ago... Like 10 years ago? I don't really remember. But Japan + Hong Kong! OMFG!!! *faints from excitement* And now I need to send e-mail(s) to my uncles/cousins to let them know I'm coming!
