some people might see it as a confirmation towards an unreconcilliable relationship with SME, not to mention a crack in the 5.

but i choose to believe the best in them. even if i might look like a foolish person, at least i know i'm being a faithful fan *shrugs* some says love is blind, and so i agree.

even with all the controversy that JCS rose by going to MAMA, nobody can deny that cassiopeia so badly want to see the boys. and i believe that it's important to keep their presence felt in korea too, even with all these happenings. after all, after this they're gonna head to Japan for more activities. korean cassiopeia need some love too...

and since SME's doing all they could so that the boys and cassiopeia don't keep in contact, this might be a good opportunity to still reach out their hands to cassies. i have faith in the boys and, more importantly, in cassiopeia. they wouldn't disappoint each other. i hope this meeting would bless both sides with some strength and courage, the boys from cassies, and cassies from the boys.

my cousin's engagement party will be held on the same day (and same time, i dare guess) as MAMA, and since i gotta travel out of town for that, i wouldn't be here to keep track on what's gonna happen til much later. and so, i'll just send my wishes now and prayer now for all cassiopeia who are still holding on strong til this day.

cassiopeia, don't lose heart, and don't put each other down. we need to stay strong and united, and i have faith in all of us!

cassiopeia, always keep the faith. dbsk, hwaiting!

btw laurana1 had made a very interesting post that cheered me up somewhat =D click here for the summary of what have been happening in the past few weeks in a very simple and easy way to understand even for the non-fans.

what worries me is that, even though jaechunsu's lawyer has come up and released a statement, one that condemned SME's dirty tricks and advise for them not to dig their own grave deeper, there are absolutely no words regarding the so-called statements from homin and no reaction against homin's parents' slander.

and that really worries me.

...coz, silent = affirmation, not?

i was just watching the 2nd bigeast fanclub event, and was laughing at their antics and how dorky and hilarious they are, really, when out of a sudden i remembered what's going on and a terrible sadness descended upon me...

if you remember 2nd bigeast fanclub event, the way they were sitting on those tables.....

... i'm crossing my fingers that tomorrow would be a better day...


edit: happy belated birthday, ryochan! it just passed midnight and admist all the things happening i forgot >_<

and, happy birthday, pata! don't drink too much!

...i'm very worried and scared for the boys.


as much as i'd like to regard the homin (+parents) claims as false/wrong/rumour, unless someone come up with an official statement soon, i don't have anything else to hang upon.


i need a hug.


all Cassiopeia need a hug right now. if you know one nearby you, go give it to them now.

how to recover from "read an annoying article on sunday morning" event so that the rest of your sunday doesn't go downhill from there?

if the said "annoying article" is related to jaechunsu lawsuit, then only the boys can cure you from its side effect.

my recommendation is: watch AADBSKIII couple talk. they're full of sweet comments that will leave you grinning like an idiot in front of the screen. warning: also comes with a high dosage of awkward moments and uncomfortable pauses!

i've only watched a little bit of jaesu and jaechun, like a minute of each, and in that short minute jae managed to make me blush and giggle like mad...

i think i've visited cdjapan website about 100 times in these few days, waiting for my cds to be dispatched... but nooo they're not hurrying! they're waiting for one single, one friggin regular-edition single, and just because of that they've not shipped the rest of my cds...

arghhhh i want to listen to Ascendead Master already!!!! >___<

i've been neglecting and procrastinating and dragging doing any of my work while i'm sitting in front of the comp.

and i'm blaming it all on linda.

if i've never declared anyone as my favourite fanfic writer before, she's gonna be the very first one to get the title.

love. her. fics. to. death.

period.

i didn't know thwt GIF files, when brought into sony ericsson cellphones, will still work as it is inside the phone *____*

thinking of all possibilities of creating tvxq gifs for wallpapers xD if anyone know any good (read: funny, hilarious, touching, touchY xD) NEWS or TVXQ gif images, please drop me a comment ^^

i followed NEWS winter party Diamond Tour from october last year to beginning of this year, and tohoshinki is currently having their tour too. last week they went to Kobe and this week would be Saitama. i've joined the (i think) major communities for both news and tvxq in hope of being able to follow closely what the idols are doing. but, different fandom, different idols and different fans, ne? i'm still new in tvxq comm, but while reading my f-list (and contents of both commas), i've felt the difference already.

firstly, similarities. of course, fancams, fanaudios, papparrazzi pictures and stories, ne? how else would fans brag about their encounter with the idols apart from those. usually they go to the cons, take pictures of con venues and goods (light sticks, pamphlets, uchiwas, whatever they happen to buy), some would sneak in recording device and somehow a recording or two of the performance would leak to the net, and they would later write about the con from their point of view.

the difference is the way they call this 'story' that they write. in NEWS fandom, we call it "fan report" while as in tvxq fandom it's called "fan account". but no matter what it's called, stories written by fans about tour concerts are highly sought after. fans loove to read more about their idols, and since no magazine or newspaper ever covered enough of it (how could they just write a simple, "XXXX is going to perform in YYYY venue at ZZZZ time. XXXX group is blablahblah" kind of article when they're performing differently at different venue at different time each time? simply not enough!), fans resort to fans who would write (in extensive details!) about their idols.

fan reports vary in format and content, because it's a semi-personal reflection of the concert. we see the concert from the eyes of the writer. that's why a good fan-report writer who goes to a lot of cons is very precious. they have the ability to transport us, the readers, to the venue, to the concert, and sit there with them throughout the concert. some of the best fan-report writer i've encountered wrote about anything and everything related to the con: the journey to the con venue (and collectively noticing numerous other fans heading in the same direction), the venue itself, other fans, the performance, what happened in the performance, how it ended, highlights of the con, random observations, conclusions taken from random observations, everything! i'm talking, of course, about daelite-san. by the end of reading her fan-reports, i felt like i've been there in person, watching the cons myself. and since she went to A LOT of NEWS cons in their last tour, i felt like i've somewhat followed their tour too ^^

by the way, i don't think daelite-san post her fan reports up in the community. so, i guess i have to ganbatte and start fishing out good fan-report writers in the tvxq comm for tohoshinki's current tour.

another difference in the fandom is, of course, the fans. i think youtube has a lot of evidence of this, but some of tohoshinki's fans are really quite wild. i don't usually see NEWS getting mobbed by fans, they almost always able to keep their distance away from fans who are waiting in airports, perhaps that's why they can afford a smile and a wave or two to the fans. but tohoshinki has maniacal fans who take pics right in front of their faces, who come close just to throw a bag at them and so on... it's really quite scary...

which is why when ayase123-san went to Haneda airport and happened to catch them coming back from korea (they only have 2-day break, and i bet they weren't resting when they were in korea!) and able to catch them with her cam, it's so relieving to see them being able to exit the japanese airport in peace. especially since junsu is still on the wheelchair.

everytime i see idols getting mobbed by fans (usually it's at airports), and they show their not-idol-like side and fans retaliate and other fans support them by saying that the idols are nasty, i feel like knocking the fans' heads to the wall. come on, people, idols are HUMANS too! and you are humans too! try imagining your life being published onto the net 24/7, every single gesture is photographed, every single person you meet is written about, every single place you went to gets featured in some fan blogs or forums, imagine that your life is not yours anymore but your fans'...

it's a crazy job, being an idol. they're not selling a product, a service or technique, they're selling themselves! and still we can't get enough of them! we want more, more and more! try having that kind of lives and imagine one of those little papparrazzi creeters suddenly stood right in front of you with a camera 25 cm away from your face and clicking, see if you wouldn't explode!

you know they're adorable people if they're not cornered. give them space! and some privacy while you're at it. stalking them to homes sounds like a perfect thing to do to brag to your friends and the rest of the fandom (heck i was planning to hunt yochan's house down if one day i'm in LA -_-) but you're just making them miserable. yes, they might be grateful for the gestures at the start of their carreers, but once they got big (and, yes, tohoshinki IS big now), such gestures will become a burden and, soon, a hindrance and, finally, a source of misery.

if you love your idols enough, try giving them space and privacy. be more like the fans at the haneda airport in ayase123-san's fancam. they wave to them and show their excitement, but they stood still. ...well, at least most did. i know it's impossible, and perhaps ayase123-san only got realllly lucky that most other fans didn't know they would be coming at haneda and thus no mobs were seen. but at least try and be one of the more sensible fans. there are sensible fans out there, in fact i think that most of us are sensible. it's just that the crazier and more lunatic ones are the ones who are always remembered. it's kinda sad at how they looked more at peace when they came to japan than when they went back home to korea.

gee, i didn't start blogging to give a lecture like this O.O after all, goodness knows what i would do if i happen to catch any of my idols live in person -_- but hopefully, at that time, i would still be able to keep my senses and not storm all over them like some mental-ward escapee.

it's enough that they have numerous crazy fans out here who does crazy things like watching their clips 24/7 from youtube or making GIfs out of their clips like nobody's business, but at least we don't disturb them or stalk them, ne?


okay, parting gift before i go to school:


yoochun imitating junsu's famous gesture from Balloons MV xD

090216 K-chan News is FUNNY! thank you, as always, to the K-chan News subbing team! they're still looking for subbers, btw, do contact them if you're interested (or know anyone who might be interested) ^^

( spoilers... )

just a random observation and comment.

initially i was just watching (i assume) the first tegomassu's appearance in Music Fighter, subbed by daelite, and was just going to comment about tesshi.
( tegoshi and matsujun each has a lil mole at the same spot. )

btw that clip that i got from daelite was quite messed up at the beginning... i wonder if anyone else have the same clip that plays find without getting pixelated for the first half of the show...?

i'm waiting for an important email from my lecturer regarding my thesis paper -_- the waiting is killing me, aarghhh!!

this is a CAP (copy-and-paste) from my reg blog, coz i feel guilty for not updating and it's JE-related >_<

prologue:

i've heard the reviews of this drama, and nobody had ever rated it less than outstanding. it even won some drama awards, oh-chan winning the best actor award last year. obachan told me a little about the story and that oh-chan is a great actor. furthermore the theme song is one out of my top 3 favourite song of arashi: Truth. this is definitely a must-watch!



( warning: SPOILER )

after watching this, i fell in love once again to Truth. and i'm listening to the OST, and i love it too! awesome music!! i always believe that great music will make great movie/anime. it carries about 50% weight of the quality of a movie/anime, that's why music is always a very important factor in me deciding whether a particular movie/anime is good or not. and for Maou, i'd say that the music is no less than awesome. i LOVE it!!

i just completed hyouten after many weeks of slowly queuing it in flashget. from the date, which was novermber 2006, i realised that around november tego has always had a drama o.O 2006 was hyouten, 2007 was shabake, and 2008 was shabake 2nd edition. and before that, 2005 december, was shissou~dead run.

i'm seeing a trend here, that tesshi always has a movie/drama at the end of the year. the bad thing is: unless he picks up his drama frequency, we should expect just ONE drama/movie from him per year, and that's at the end of the year, and that means we have the whole year of nothing, and that's really bad (2008 was only shabake, deshou?). the good thing is: this is the very beginning of 2009 and he had finished shooting nakushita kioku. i don't think they would take one whole year for editing and stuff, so for this year, we should expect to see his movie somewhat earlier than the usual november/december months, yea?

the one whom i really want to see on tv is actually kei-chan v__v he's been doing butai after butai, so he should be really good at acting, ne? since life performances are harder than recorded ones... but how are we, overseas fans, are supposed to see him acting if all he does is butais? v_v

this happened yesterday. (all i'm blogging is about yesterday, coz when i come back from school, i'd be too tired to do anything else -_-)

well yesterday was wednesday. wednesday usually means that neko_lovesyou's K-chan News's recording for this week is already out. i usually prefer to watch the subbed version rather than listening to the unsubbed version......but, after futher thinking about it, i'd prefer subbed version if the guests are someone else. for tesshi, i don't really care whether it's subbed or i'm completely clueless about what they're doing (coz all i want to hear is his voice during mousou kiss). so, i immediately put it in my iPod, thinking of listening to it while working.

i only remembered about it like around 9-10 pm at night while i was drafting my 5th top. i quickly changed from hizaki to k-chan news.

i knew i would be grinning like an idiot the whole time, but i thought that it's okay coz everyone else would be working on their stuff anyway.

i forgot that i have the tendency to giggle during koyatego mousou kiss situation.

completely like an idiot, grinning to myself from the start.....until i reached mousou kiss, when the urge to laugh and giggle couldn't be controlled anymore.

so i went outside, walked around while giggling to myself, and finally settled on the railing outside comm-d's room when it was the second situation.

i couldn't understand much of what was said, but tesshi's voice is just SO expressive, that i don't need much words anyway xD he's that good at mousou kiss! i giggled, squealed, laugh, grin, all the while agreeing that mousou kiss should be made his personal corner xD basically, in the middle of tension and stress inside the class (friday's our submission and people dying over their toiles), almost incredibly, for that little while, i went into fangirl mode! unbelievable...

well, while i was listening, several people walked pass, amot and mas. some time after mas went in, velnyo came outside and asked what's wrong with me........and i still had this silly huge grin on me, and i just started laughing again, while coughing quite badly, and the earphones were stilll stucked in my ears, and i was grinning widely while gesturing to her that "i'm perfectly fine!"

i can't think of how weird i must look, coz velnyo almost thought that i went bonkers xDDD

apparently mas thought that i was crying outside, coz i had a hand covering my mouth and i was shaking xDDDDDD how sweet of her! thank you, mas! ^^  she said she didn't know how to handle people who are crying (neither do i!) so velnyo went outside xD

and when we went inside again, velnyo was like, "she was laughing!" and i still had that stupid grin on my face, and soon i continued listening to the last mousou kiss while surpressing my squeals xD!

that was funny! and so sweet of them ^__^ i do love my BA class ^__^

every day is just so crazy now. worse than tang's hellish days whereby i can get a breather on weekends, now we're just working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day in school. and i don't mean just being physically in school for 7 days a week and 12 hours a day, i mean working -____-... we get about an hour off for lunch and dinner, and sometimes i skip either meals nowadays, which means i'm working roughly 11 hours a day...

yesterday i was wondering why my feet hurt when i didn't even go anywhere, and i just realised that i was on my feet the whole day v____v like singtel's policy of getting their customer service officer standing up while serving clients, i also find that standing up makes me work faster, somewhat...

clocking in at 10am, clocking out at 11.30pm. it's just crazy...

and when i'm tired, i'm more prone to be sensitive over things. and yesterday LR was on his weird mood, asking certain people "do you think you should come back next year?"

... it might be funny, really, on his part. i might even see it as remotely funny if only i wasn't working my ass off as much as i might, and still getting that, and with eyes that says a thousand things...

i'll just listen to what lise and bern said. lise said that we can't please everyone. if he can't appreciate what we're doing, doesn't mean that nobody else can't. and bern was just determined to prove him wrong (that we won't finish our work by fri deadline).

and i WILL graduate this year. full. stop.



on a random note, yesterday, while blasting Aristrocrat's Symphony, i realised that i have to bring Hizaki back into my iPod. i need their support for the whole day now. so, who goes off my 2gb iPod?  ...........*drumrolls*.............. NEWS! yep, as much as i regret it, now i need the blasting of hizaki's and teru's guitar more than i need tesshi' and massu's sweet voices.

but, i didn't remove much songs. what i removed were: the MCs of NWPD! xD believe it or not, i've developed a habit of listening to them talk while doing my work. so, instead of songs, i was listening to them bantering back and forth during MC part of NWPD tour. and often i would grin gleefully to myself when something funny happened xD a perfect example is during member's introduction, the whole of "now, for anything that i say, please say 'shige/masuda-massu/yamapi/kei-chan'" followed by a loud "kyaaa!!" by the fans  ^^

yea, since these MCs ar quite big sometimes (the shortest about 20 min, the longest last about an hour plus), i only removed about 5 MCs and i have 200mb free in my iPod xD i can put in ALL my hizaki songs, and still have some place left to put back some MCs ^^

i think i've fished out almost all MCs that are around... on 26th oct, 21st and 23rd dec, 30th dec and 1st jan... if anyone knows more around, would you kindly please tell me about it? ^^ one can't have too many MCs to listen to ^^
