My friend Joanna, who is a recently converted JE fan, and currently is in love with Kame, has been watching his dramas lately. She asked me if I noticed something in the last episode of One Pound.


Joanna: uh..did you ever notice something..awkward..about kame in the last episode? meaning his pants..and whats in it.
Me: huh? XD what? you wanna screencap this for me? please?
Joanna: sorry for the bad quality. but here http://twitpic.com/10lrfb hahahahahahaha
Me: HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA OMGGGGGGGGGG 
Me: HAHAHAH OMG WHATS THAT IN YOUR PANTS KAME ;DDD
Joanna: HAHAHAHA when i saw it i was like WHOAA. UM. HELLO... HAHAHAHAHAHA


"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
+ John Keating, Dead Poet's Society (1989)

I just finished rewatching this movie with my roommate, even if I only watched it recently over winter break. I really recommend it. It's funny, revolving around boys at an all boys school, but it's also really thought-provoking. The dialogue, in regards to non-comformity, truth, life and learning and literature, etc. Highly recommend it!


I DID ABOUT 300 PAGES OF READING TODAY. @____@ (My roommate commends me for my discipline) Yes, Uncle Tom's Cabin is done! Just have kanji to study, and I will, no MUST write tomorrow! 

I really like this. T______T 
Maybe it's the outfit, but I think it's his expression and the pose. XD And oh look at that arm *__*

Hey, I watched Music Station performance of D-MOTION! :D The song is catchy~ My favorite part is the chorus and Kame's part right after. Hey wth with Jin's English lyrics? Especially the "b----" part. >>;; Koki's hair looked like it's fit for Gokusen. I like the song, but I honestly think auto-tune doesn't sound so good on some of them. >> I'm sure it sounds better on the actual single though. XD

This makes me think of young dorky Jin... and omgg, get a haircut already! (yes fingeredheart  I am still complaining XDDD)

My roommate and I were doing a questionnaire thing earlier. First on the topic of what's your ideal man. Physically--starting from hair, to feet, everything from eyebrows to yes, even collarbones. XD (omg, it's really obvious I like rather feminine guys. Oh j-fandom, what have you done to me?) Then things like personality, education etc. And then she started asking me these conditional questions of sleeping with Jin, like "What if he said you can only sleep with me if you wear a strap-on" etc. Even like, "if a BoA song is playing in the background". Ahahah WTF?! Some were too strange that I don't even want to mention them here. XDD

I sprained my ankle on Monday. :\\\ It was raining and as I was leaving class, I guess my boot sort of slipped under me. What do you call it? Like my foot rolled under me and my weight landed on it? It was really hurting yesterday early afternoon, but it practically doesn't hurt much anymore since late last night/early today.

I feel so fail in Japanese class lately. ugh. Not like, quizzes-wise, but participation-wise. D: HEY WTH, I have a midterm already on Thursday for my Shakespeare class?! We've only been in class for about 1.5 weeks! It's only on Twelfth Night and an article, but it still weirds me out that it's so early. o_O And oh crap, I fell asleep in that class on Thursday. Professor Nishimura is a rambler ~___~ And it was night where my roommate and I stayed up to watch the last ep of Liar Game (yeah, good idea, 8 am classes, Camille, remember?)

This smiiiiile. Jin please smile like this more often. T____________T♥♥

I'm kinda sad Liar Game 2 is done. The movie preview by the way, got me so worked up!! Omg, Akiiiiyama. It also makes me really want Capsule's new song Love or Lies. Can't buy it from iTunes Japan though. D:<

Doing the paranoia meme and reading others has made me really miss you, dear friends. ): soulfulmaverick and Melody and Mac~~!!

Hopefully I can get done about 300 pages of reading + kanji studying so I can WRITE. Yeah, I'm trying to get back intro writing fic. :3 I've been feeling very motivated lately and I really miss it. T_T

Apartment manager is partying again... gonna be a loud night.

+ I suck at writing. DD: I can't believe it takes me so long to write like 2,000 words and I am nowhere near done. Yes, fingeredheart I am talking about your fic I promised you. da;ljsd I hope to Jin god I won't take forever to finish it or that it'll be boring. DX

+ I really want to continue writing right now but I really should go to sleep early. Why do I have to go to bed early? Because I have 8 AM Japanese. T________T I was in 10-11 but that section was full and 8-9 was the only other section I could do. DDD:

+ I hope I get at least one damn response from the work study jobs I'm applying to. D:

+ Okay, enough with the D: stuff. I got my roommate into Tokyo Dogs. xD So... I guess I'll be sorta starting it over as I watch it from the beginning with her. I actually have not yet watched the last 2 or 3 episodes even if I have them downloaded.

+ I also finally watched Yamanade. Kame, his hair when he was ~undercover host~ *______* Too bad it was a wig. ): Not to say I don't mind his hair now. Just not when it was combed back, ew. But the after-sex bedhead hair. *___* Sorry Jin, you need a haircut, I'm not gonna lie. >>; My roommate decided to watch Yamanade with me too, actually. I think it weirded her out way too much. XD


+ MY OLYMPOS FINALLY ARRIVED THIS WEEK AND YES I HELD OFF FROM LISTENING TO IT UNTIL NOW AND DJA:LJA:JSWDLKHWD *_______________* 二十歳の戦争 is easily my favorite. Jin just sounds gorgeous, okay, and sad/emotional T_T AND HEY I DID NOT REALIZE I ORDERED THE 1ST PRESS TOO. koxisher please don't get mad at me, I hope yours will arrive soon. ;A;
(Yes, that is 2PM's 1:59 PM album. My first kpop CD! (not including SJM))

+ Btw, when I preordered KAT-TUN single on yesasia, it said the expected arrival date would be on Kame's birthday. xDDDD

+ I bet no one on my f-list is in the fandom/ships the pairing on my icon. D:

+ My friend Joanna has discovered the joy of JE, KAT-TUN particularly. 8D She was flailing about Pi first but I think recently, Kame has taken over her brain. XD

+ BLOODY MONDAYYYY 2 WANT NOW PLEASE. 2 HOUR PREMIERE YES PLEASE!!

+ Please do spam me. And get one too. 8D

+ Talked to an EAP (study abroad) advisor Friday afternoon. Right now I'm leaning towards Tsuru (the program, and also $$$). There's only 2 spots available though @___@ So just in case, I will also apply to Doshisha. It's still up in the air which I prefer though, because Doshisha also has its appeal. I still have to meet up with CompLit advisor and Japanese advisor sometime soon.(Did you know Tsuru is 80% female?  XD And apparently all the men are taken. T_T)

+ ;aldel;ada how is it already 12. Sigh.

the { first ✚ impression } meme

( meme---what songs would be the soundtrack if your life was a movie? )

Stolen from koxisher  ♥

SUCH CUTENESS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. sakka;ldjas;ela;fljdlfjdsjf

Hey yo f-list, where are my Bleach buddies?? I watched the 3rd Bleach Movie, Fade to Black 君の名を呼ぶ, thanks to koxisher. It was really good. ♥ Definitely beats the first two movies! The music is epic. I was already so into it just within like less than 10 minutes. The ideas of memories and linking people together are really neat. Except, in the movie, it sounded a lot deeper than they way I just put it. XD But omggg, it makes me wanna ship Ichigo/Rukia. I have nothing against this pairing, I've just been a Renji/Rukia shipper... well, back when I was still in Bleach fandom. XD

Will die waiting for Olympos to ship. T____T And then again for when Love Yourself comes out. XD Yes, just like I did for BANDAGE, I will not download and wait for it to actually listen to it. (torture lolol)

I kinda don't want this semester to start again. I'm excited for it, but idk, I feel I could use like 2 more weeks at home. XD Oh, and I'm thinking about seriously looking into going study abroad in Japan next year spring semester. Sooo much to read regarding study abroad. The prices are scary too though. ><; It's looking like my options are Tsuru, Doshisha, and Meiji Gakuin. I still need to do a lot of research though.

SO MANY BOOKS FOR MY 2 ENGLISH CLASSES THIS SEMESTER! Ugh. Thank god for Chegg.com. Seriously, a Shakespeare book I need? About $70 used or $90 new from the student store. From chegg, rent it for $38.99. The rest are smaller books and range from $9~12, but seriously, they add up. Oh, and chegg also plants a tree for every book you rent!

Gaaaah, I've been replaying this song of all songs yes of all songs Jesse McCartney's Leavin. It's, idk.... pop... y. And catchy. Kinda cute. /is lame. I blame this random video I watched that used the song. You know, out of the 2400+ songs on my iTunes, only about 185 are American/songs in English.

Pfft, I forgot everything else I was going to say.

Oh yeah! I changed my msn/windows live id/whatever you call it! XD Add me → amaipan@live.com
Not that I even know if I'll have the time to go on much. XDDD;

Downloaded BANDAGE photobook earlier but I have yet to look at it. Okay, bye, going to do that and die now.♥

Me: Ah! Do you know Perfume?
Samm: .....The spray?


Posted as senpai asked ♥

( 6 kame's and 3 jin's. uh whut. )

Note to self: Post Mononoke-hime costume from Halloween.

I want to learn Perfume's ワンルーム・ディスコ dance!! soulfulmaverick should learn with me~~♥ I can't dance well though. D:


My mom and I tried out a new place to get out haircut, called Salon Mu. The owner is a Korean woman named Yoo. When she was cutting my mom's hair and her phone went off... and her ringtone was G-Dragon's Heartbreaker!! I said, "Ah!! G-Dragon's Heartbreaker!" And she said, "G-Dragon?" and started laughing. The dork in me was so excited. We even talked a little about kdramas. She recommended IRIS. F-list, anyone watching it and also recc it? She also said she liked um, the "yo yo, what up?!" F4 guy from Boys Before Flowers. And she asked me which of the F4 I liked, and I said the one played by Kim Bum, and she laughed and said everyone likes Kim Bum. Come on, the killer smile! gnn. *A* 

( I found 山P! on the ceiling. )

Today's adventure~ almostfantastic  was sick so she and her sister couldn't come over to watch BTR. TT Feel better Pam! 

So instead, Mom, Dad and I went out to West Covina today and went to Marukai. We're planning to make Oyakodon and okonomiyaki sometime this week. :3

What did I find?
( phone charms and Jin is too expensive. )

I had meron pan today! :D And some bad sushi. XD

BEST FIND TODAY! KPOP SOCKS! XDDD 



Yes that's right. Super Junior, 2PM, Big Bang, 2NE1..... on your FEET.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Monday sou_kiri and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points). Last Thursday I donated bone marrow to aishizuki in a life-saving procedure (300 points). Last Saturday I pulled varlet 's hair (-5 points). In November I helped love_emptiness hide a body (-173 points). In April I pushed sun_ming in the mud (-17 points). Overall, I've been nice (116 points). For Christmas I deserve a red Radio-Flyer wagon! Sincerely, amairo_parasol

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

LOL, these results can get pretty funny. XD Like ruling some country called Asscrackistan??

So good to be back home! (I got back Monday morning) :3 Made mochi and lumpia, and we had the lumpia and nilaga tonight. :D
My mom got me a kame for christmas, along with some clothes. xDDDD She kept calling it Yamapi instead after a while though. "KAME! Not Yamapi!"

First day back home for winter break and I end up being productive? :D

preview:


( x4 )

ESPM final went really well. And it SHOULD have, considering I studied practically a week for it. English went fairly well I guess. Part 1 and 2 went really well, but idk, part 3 could be yay or nay. And omggg, I was hoping our papers wouldn't be returned to us after the exam, but they were and I know I didn't put as much effort into the last one, but I got a C. D: UGH, WHATEVER, DO NOT CARE. I AM DOOONE.

I stole this idea from soulfulmaverick  where you exchange passwords with a friend, and they change your password and hold onto it until after finals. I did this with almostfantastic, so I actually have not been on lj, fb, and twitter since... last Saturday. It was very good for me. :D I don't tend to stay on facebook for long, but I do notice I check it randomly a lot while studying, so taking it away from me not only stops me from getting distracted, but is also a timesaver.

UGH. I'm so PISSED. The other day I was backing up my external, and I overwrote some folders and didn't realize until later that I accidentally deleted over HALF of my dramas. ;___; And I just downloaded some Tokyo Dogs and Samurai High School recently with my crap internet. Btw. I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT BTR DVD CAME OUT. Our apartment internet is still broken/crap, so...

GOING TO EXPLOIT CAMPUS INTERNET TOMORROW TO DOWNLOAD BTR. XD
Our internet is still crap/not working in this apartment.
Also will probably restore some of my dramas. xDD

So what else have I missed besides BTR coming out? *___________*

Also, why does a fic idea decide to come to me this week, when I'm in the middle of studying?! And ESPM, about BUGS, of all things! No, it is not a fic about bugs. Ew. I am SO sick of bugs after that class. XD

I also really want to rewatch Nodame Cantabile suddenly. ._. That's kinda hard when I have ONLY episode 2 on my harddrive.
almostfantastic sees it as a sin that I don't have all of it. xDDD

Ask me something! Anything! :DDD And get one too. XD Idk why I am liking this thing so much right now.

To the few of you I'm sending out cards to this year, you're probably going to get them a little later than expected. -.- I've only written one so far, and right now I'm busy until the 18th.

( school talk )



People, listen to NIA (니아). dla;sldj I am obsessed with this single. ♥ Especially Goodbye. LISTEEEEN. I like the fact that they're a Korean girl group that play their own instruments. They're indie though, and I can't find where to buy their stuff ANYWHERE. Oh, and they're being called "the second Brown Eyed Girls", but I really don't think they sound like them.

Interesting PV for 2PM's Color. Some parts I gotta say are pretty funny. AND WTF AT THE CLOWN. XD Especially at the end!

Super Junior's Sorry Sorry - Answer version is so pretty. *__*

I NEED TO STOP BUYING THINGS. dal;sdksd I finally ordered LANDS album, and decided to get 2PM's 1:59 album too. Also ordered two earrings and a necklace the other day. Good deal, for $17.41, but I should stop spending money, lol.

I'm forgetting other things to post about, but going back to studying.


EDIT. OMFG, BANDAGE AND LOVELESS SINGLES FINALLY CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

So I'm back in Berkeley! Been awake since 3:30 a.m. XD We left home around 4 a.m. and arrived in Berkeley around 11, which was earlier than expected. We didn't hit any traffic on the way here. Total opposite of going home though. x.x Had a nice thanksgiving. ^^ And was able to get a few new clothes, kehehe. :D NOT looking forward to English paper due Friday. D: Japanese finals start Wednesday too. Want it to be break already!

♥ I just discovered these guys today. ._. Royal Pirates, they do rock covers of kpop songs like 2PM's Again & Again, or like this one, SNSD's Genie. Pretty cool, I think. I have to say though, that main guy reaaally looks like a girl, lol. This cover is pretty good I think, but I don't think their one of Mirotic is that good. The notes were too high. and. ow. x_x

♥ Oh did I mention I actually will be able to go home for Thanksgiving?? :D I'm so happy to be home soon. My dad's actually driving up to pick me up. Ahh, homecooked food, I can't wait. I've also been itching to go shopping. xD I've been spending money/eating out a bit too much this month.... Ah, I also ordered from YesStyle for the first time. :) Their shipping is really fast! o_o And I'm really happy with the top I got.

♥ We did break the record for longest California roll by the way. 330 feet yo! :) Over 450 volunteers, 50 tables. Ewww, the thing though was that the avocado was still frozen. -__- Not as yummy as it could have been, but it was fun, despite that we were there from about 11~almost 3, I think?



♥ .....can I just magically be in Japan in February. omfg. THEY BETTER RELEASE A SOLO ALBUM WITH ALL OF JIN'S SONGS FINALLY RECORDED. OR A CON DVD. OR OR. WHY AM I PROPOSING BREAKING MY OWN WALLET? XDD because we all know it would be hella worth it.

♥ BLOODY MONDAY 2 CONFIRMED. ;las;dl I feel like I'm the only one who really likes this drama. D:

♥ Oh, lolz very important desu. Changed layout: amairo_parasol amairo_parasol amairo_parasol
It's very dark and Jin-ified. >) Because I am weak and rather than read Paradise Lost, I went into a layout making mode until almost 10. xD
dll';as;'dks The photo from Myojo with him + guitar, how could I resist?!
Also, you Big Bang fans should recognize those lyrics. ;)

♥ Taeyang's Wedding Dress. ♥♥ But OMG, watching that MV was like watching a five minute kdrama!! Of course it was so obvious that it wouldn't be him she's marrying, but just... wow. seriously. LIKE WATCHING A SAD DRAMA. I'm really loving the song. ♥ And Where U At, I have to say I like that too. I don't even know your name, giiirl. xDDD I possibly have higher hopes for his debut album than G-Dragon's. Oh, also really liking Big Bang's 声をきかせて. (And the acoustic version is pretty. I've never cared for their Japanese releases before)

♥ I can't believe I gave in and participated in the #deadfisheyes operation. xD; I couldn't resist, after I saw something about #deadfisheyes + #eggplant. #eggplant's..... LOVEJUICE. XDD *shot*

♥ How is it already past 1 a.m. Oh, speaking of 1 a.m. 2PM's 1:59 p.m. album! :D I really like Tired of Waiting and Heartbeat. ♥ 2PM has jumped up to my top 20 most-listened artists in like, only 2 weeks.
OKAY. OMG, GOOD NIGHT.

Th-this day is already so exciting, I-I mean, I started rewatching Liar Game and got my roomie into it, and then we watched the latest Smallville which was SO amusing (LOL mindreading), Oh, and I defriended my ex on fb. About time, I kept on forgetting. >3> and then I check out SHINee's latest mini-album (and REALLY liking it so far; Y.O.U was a really pleasant surprise!) and then Bandage das;'dkaksd it took a while to load but IT LOOKS SO ANGSTY AND GOOD AND HE LOOKS SO GOOD. It looks heartbreaking. T__T

I like this one shot A LOT<3


I did the floorplan generator again, this time with all of KAT-TUN and NEWS. Idk, not that exciting this time, really?

I am amused by our apartment manager, Peter. I was making dinner out in the kitchen that we share with him, and Angie (my roomie) was with me too, and okay, the guy smokes weed like ALL the friggin' time. But it's funny how he offers us, if we ever want any. He talks about how he's got the "quality shit" and all. XD Last time I talked to him, we got on the subject of asian pop and he said he likes ~old school kpop~. He's a really friendly guy, really chill, and it is fun talking to him. We ended up talking about movies with him.

So.... I guess I really am back. XD;

♥ OH HI THERE.
• I am love with this song/MV. *__* fklsaj Hangeng is the cutest nerd EVER.
• I've been pretty dead already LJ-wise lately anyways, but I definitely will be even more so these next 2 weeks. A bajillion pages of reading, papers, miderms, etc. (Watch me never come back until winter break. I want to write lately too~! myosotis_love knows. XD)
• The other day I wasted like three hours of my life looking at earrings online. Yes, earrings, that I wouldn't be able to even buy right now. XD Why am I torturing myself??!
• Oh yeah, so last Friday was my first official day with the kids at OASES. I'm specifically in the LEAP program's Activity Center, so I help tutor these kids, and then afterwards we play games. Except... I was the only person in my group who made it that day, because I guess everyone else hadn't had their TB tests done. And. Omg. IT WAS SO HECTIC. Because there's like 50 kids, the 2 supervisor ladies, and me... We played quite a chaotic game of dodge ball, lol.
• This year for Japanese we're required to go to office hours for tutorial once every week, and when I looked into office hours today when I turned in homework, there was this really really cute guy who was leading the tutorial. (It's always been this really cute girl named Uehara Maki I've had it with, or another girl) He really looked like he stepped out of a j-drama or is from a boyband. XD Kehehehe, I hope I have him when I have tutorial on Wednesday.
• OKAY. BACK TO WORK & MORE MORE READING!

So I just read up on the 2PM Jay issue, and frankly... I'm appalled. That is so wrong and disturbing and I am disgusted with netizens. That is just so damn scary. How can you start a petition for a person to commit suicide??!

(Why does this have to happen, when only a few days ago I decided I needed to get into this group?)

To those of you on my f-list who are fans. just. idek what to say. T___T

HOLY CRAP. The first thing I saw when I got back tonight! CONGRATS TO TABLO!

Oh, and (500) Days of Summer is a really good movie. I'm still not over the ending, that was just so clever. ♥

text to almostfantastic:
jdndjsiwkdkdjjejd OMG HAVE YOU WATCHED IT SWQUEALIFBG SO BAD RIGHT NOW XKDLSKWL

um. I rewatched the end of Buzzer Beat ep. 7 like three times just now. XDDD

( sp-p-p-poilers )

dear f-list, I am sorry with all this Buzzer Beat spamming, but I cannot help it!! XD
Scaring my roommate. XD; She's worried I'm going to hurt myself.
