Since Christmas is just around the corner, I've decided to start with my Wish List. In no particular order. Plus the fact that I'm already reaching a quarter of my life this year, I suppose these can serve as special Post-Birthday Gifts as well. Am I asking too much? Hmmm. Just pushing my luck. ^^;

( ♥ )

I'm putting things on hold tentatively and extending the "deadline" I've set some days ago. Giving myself another chance to re-assess and sort things out maybe until I officially turn 25 in a couple of days. Prolonging the agony, I guess. Taking a leave on the 15th. Bound to get some me-time. And some more to torture myself with all the thinking and deciding which way to go. xD

Now, on a more pressing note. I've been meaning to get a haircut I haven't tried before. Bob-Cut? Curled? Rebonded? Or something really extraordinary? Should I get my first hair color or just stick with my usual locks? Hmmm. Another serious dilemma. I know. ^^;

Time and time again. Absence, indeed, makes the heart grow fonder. Feels like it's been ages ago. It's just overwhelming to see them five in just one frame. Together. Once more. ♥

Always Keep The Faith... ♥

Kim Junsu. Park Yoochun. Kim Jaejoong. Shim Changmin. Jung Yunho. 화이팅~ ♥

On another pressing matter. While 동방신기 hits Shanghai, another huge storm on its way. Bound to hit Manila and the rest of the country today. Still waiting for that mass text message announcing employees may do work from home today. Scared to be stuck with all the chaos in the middle of nowhere. -_-

Trying times yet again. Praying for everyone's safety. Take care, Philippines. Be safe. (",)

Just seeing these make me tear up. Mad, I know. Have I mentioned how much I adore Hello Kitty? Omo~ T_T

♥

Much thanks to Chuvaness for the photos and the inside scoop. I shall be hitting that Sanrio Luxe Store when it opens in Manila. Hope there'll be something extremely nice tagged with a reasonable enough price to get for myself. ASICS x Hello Kitty Sneakers in Size 9 or 10 for my 25th Birthday, please. My heart is already palpitating with excitement. ^^;

Ok. Just thought I let this "Hello Kitty" thing one out. Back to work. And "hiatus" mode. Major deliverable due tomorrow. And another long weekend ahead. Might just sleep it away. Or scour some sales. Just not that ONE thing. Go away, Bad Vibes. Shooo. x_x

Seems almost everyone's been caught up with their own stuff recently. Work. Life. Family. Friends. "Me"-Time. And everything else. ^^

♥ Shim Changmin's supposed to have started shooting his drama in Jeju. Based on the schedule shared earlier. But he's been seen once or twice strolling the streets of Seoul. And nope. Not for a shoot or anything. Well. It's still good. Glad to know my son he is getting himself some sunshine. And some of rest time too. He definitely deserves it. My Changmin~

♥ Jung Yunho's acting career, "serious" this time, has finally debuted on once in a lifetime 09/09/09. And in the two episodes shown to date, I've only seen him sing like a retard and shout "Thank You! Thank You!" afterwards. So far, so good. And Cha Bong Gun in super HD, ridiculously huge at 2.1 GB, should be amazing to watch. Omo~

♥ Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun have been spreading melody and harmony as Jejung and Yuchun from Tohoshinki. Oh. The friendship of those never fails to . Add to that, they're sort of promoting my eternal favorite, Hello Kitty. I couldn't be any happier. Must find that very fab Hello Kitty Shoulder Bag in a nice shade of green. Just thinking about it makes me drool. Aiyo~

♥ Kim Junsu is nowhere to be found. Sadly enough. Seriously hoping though that he tagged along his bestfriend, Eunhyuk, and is now strolling the streets of Paris, showing him around. Free of worries. Enjoying. Relaxing. Well. Whatever it is that he's been up too lately, I hope he's doing well too. I know he is. My Junsu~

♥ Choi Siwon recently spent some his much needed vacation in Taiwan with my in-laws his family. Just in time before SuJu-M's new album and comeback. Funny how he looks like he lost some weight in the promotional pics which recently came out when he's all puffed and chubby during their HK Photoshoot last month. Someone's been busy all over again I guess. And though I'm 3 years his senior... Oppa! Hwaiting~

♥ Lee Minho's apparently in Singapore now to endorse some brand. And he'll be back in October to do sort of a fanmeeting. 10-ish, news said. Hmmm. Interesting. Still disappointed and heartbroken with BoF ending here in the Philippines and the cast not even paying a visit. Lack of fanbase and funds, probably. But yeah. In a month's time. Perfect for a quarter-life celebration. Just a three-hour flight away. Tempting, really. Oh no. What to do?! Here I go again. Goo Jun Pyo~

So I guess, here's my take. Almost saw it coming. But not this soon. Well. Time flies fast. And this must be done. ^^;

A lot of things going on for the past days. And a lot more lined-up. Occasional ranting now done in Twitter. My recent vent-out place. Will be gone for a while to sort things out first. Work and life are more demanding now than ever. But yeah. Will definitely be back. xD

→ It's gotta be one of the most breathtaking experiences of my life. Earlier today, I went to the Christening of my former teammate's first born. And during the reception, one of my other teammates passed the 2-month old baby for me to carry. Noah Benedict. Such a lovely and beautiful being. And yes. Just 2 months. OMG. It's not even my type to carry my baby cousins and nieces. Seeing his angelic face though, my "motherly" instinct got the best of me and thought to give it a shot. My heart was beating erratically while I was trying to get him and gently put on my arms. But once things were settled and he's calmly sleeping, I kept on looking at him and just be at awe. It's all overwhelming and scary at the same time. Those 15 minutes or so were just amazingly captivating. Hmmm. Time is ticking. ^^;

→ Girl Bonding with the most wonderful teammates ever. The looong month of August passed by with a lot of compulsive buying and unnecessary expenses. We're just downright poor now. And since the reception ended early and we didn't want to go home yet, all we're left to do was go to the nearest mall, window shop with those high wedges on and catch up on some chit-chats. And really, even if they're younger than me, they happen to give a bunch of the most insightful things about life and love. I would like to think that over the years, we've become closer to each other in more ways than one. Something true. Something deeper. I bet that when the time comes, it's gonna be one tough ride. They're one of the reasons why I've been managing to stick around after all. -_-

→ N.B.S.B. Short for "No Boyfriend Since Birth". My bundlemate kept on pimping almost the entire department about it in Facebook since the preview came out as he's being played here somewhere. It's about a girl who's been trying to have that one love all her life, almost chasing after the guys she happens to like and still get herself heartbroken afterwards. Lo and behold, his character's playing a major role in the story. Wow. The everyday plugging didn't help me to recall that it's actually on last night though. Thanks to technology and online streaming, gonna watch it in a little while. Will I be able to relate? Gonna go and find that one out. xD

♥____♥

Just a week to go. Yah~ Cha Bong Gun! Aiyo~ ♥

Really. No matter what others say. I shall never get tired of saying this. Ang gwapo mo naman, Jung Yunho. TT_TT

Warning: Clicking may cause hyperventilation of some sort. @_@



♥____♥

My very own countdown to "Heading To The Ground" starts today. Oh. ♥

All About Dong Bang Shin Ki 3. There's Jaejoong's warm hug which Changmin shooed away in the Soul Fighter's Couple Talk. JoongShim Unrequited Fondness. And there's also Yunho unable to control himself over Changmin's goods looks in one of the outdoor games. Teasing his Maknae, pinching and squishing his face and all that. HoMin Boring & Dense Never-Changing Affection. Two of my favorite pairings. Oh. ♥

But then again, this just pwns them all. ^^

MinSu! MinSu! MinSu! ♥

Kim Junsu: Changmin's Religion. Shim Changmin: Junsu's Slave. This Nuna-Umma's heart is overflowing with happiness. ♥

And yes. It's my first to have seen this. Haven't had the chance to set some viewing time. The DVD Box is still packed. Same goes with the Photobook. Been really busy. As usual. ^^;

Another long weekend and spazzing plans ahead. Rawrrr. xD

Mission accomplished. New Banners here. A must-have New Icon as well. 사랑해~ ♥

Wanna scream at the top of my lungs. &*#^@%-=+! Excuse me. Ang gwapo lang naman ng mga anak ko. Changmin-ah~ Junsu-yah~ T_T

♥



♥

Thump. Thump. Thump. There goes my heart again. x_x

"Seaside". Collaboration of a bunch of the most bankable boys in K-Pop. SM Town Boys~ ♥
"12:34". One of Shim Changmin's masterpieces. Nothing better than that~ ♥
TVXQChangmin's Tweets. Poser or for real. My Nuna Killer went on a tweet-posting frenzy. ♥
Mandong. Unexplainably adorable. The cuteness kills. ♥

Not even done spazzing with a bunch of things. Emotions are at an all-time high. And comes this. x_x

More Than The Air I Breathe~ ♥

Hearts everywhere. It's definitely nice to see them five together again. But why do I feel like this is going to be their last? Always keep the faith. ♥

Patiently waiting for my AADBSK3. And yes. This time, I'm gonna open and watch it over and over again. Looking forward to Minsu, HoMin and a lot of Mandong Love. Oh. ^^;

With all the drama and waiting for the inevitable, a crack like this came just in time. From last Friday's Sukira, August 7, 2009, translated by SJ World's tjdus. Oh. My tummy still hurts from all the laughing. ROTFL-Worthy. xD

Leeteuk: Yesterday, after exercising, Siwon suddenly said he wanted to go to the Han River. That's at around 2 AM.
Eunhyuk: At dawn?
Leeteuk: Yes. So Siwon went riding his small motorcycle while I drove my car.
Eunhyuk: But during that time, it was raining...
Leeteuk: Yes. And in the rain, Siwon said "Hyung! I’m macho!" while riding his motorcycle. He arrived there before me. He then called me, "Hyung, where are you? Why are you late?" After some time, he thought the parked car he saw was mine. As he thought I already got there, he started dancing in front of it.
Eunhyuk: OMG. Was the car the same style as yours?
Leeteuk: Yes. He kept saying, "Hyung, get out! Get out!" while dancing. He thought, "Oh! My dance must be not enough." so he kept on dancing with more effort.
Eunhyuk: And he didn't know who was inside the car because the car window's tinted black?
Leeteuk: Yes. He said I didn't get out. He knocked the window and said "Hyung, why don't you get out?!" The window opened with a surprised... Lady! She was really surprised! OMG! And so he ran away.
Eunhyuk: OMG. How embarrassing?! Why did he do that?! Kekeke. Really funny. I always enjoy stories about our members. They are doing really funny things.

OMG. That has got to be one of the best and funniest SuJu stories ever. Lucky lady. I bet she enjoyed the whole dancing thing. Pffft. And imagine how Siwon got all flushed with embarrassment. Oh my. This is classic. ♥

Choi Siwon... Alright now. We all know you're macho. *drools over your perfect abs* But why be so clueless and adorable at the same time?! *squishes you* Uhmmm. ILU? Aiyo~ ^^;

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

My sister, gracie_grace, couldn't bear watching it. But I say, out of 5, it's a 2.5 overall for their effort in pulling the dance off. The choreography's close but not quite. A couple or two steps were entirely different from the original. And they seem to be all over the place. The attire's pretty much the same though. Plus, it's not like some cheap-sounding group did it on national TV. We have Enchong Dee and Sam Concepcion right there. Oh. Lovely. ^^;

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Suddenly felt nostalgic this afternoon. And to release all the eerie feeling, there goes a new MinSu Icon. Ah. Yes. My Two. Happy. Carefree. Definitely not goodbye. Not this time. ♥

While nursing an incredibly painful headache, I'm glad to have spent this weekend watching both old Dong Bang and Toho clips. The House Tour in AADBSK1. The Premium Mini Live @ Yokohama Blitz. The Soul Power Tokyo Summit 2007. Bonjour Paris. CFs, Fancams, Interviews, Offshoots & Perfs. Around 2006 to Present. Some I didn't even know I have in my drive. New to the scene then, it's heartwarming to see them five young, carefree and still making a name for themselves. And now, they've reached it, living their dreams. ♥

And then comes this. -_-

( ... )

Understanding leads to Acceptance. Acceptance leads to Healing. Expecting the Worst. Hoping for the Best. Tomorrow is the Big Day. Whatever happens, everything's worth the ride. 동방신기 사랑해~ 화이팅! ♥

I, personally, do not have any memories of her or how she led the country during one of its toughest times. I was barely 2 years old when she got the post. But seeing all the TV Specials since early this morning about her, her beliefs and her leadership make me admire her in more ways than one. Her principles as a Leader. Her dedication as a Wife. Her devotion as a Mother.

"I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life." RIP, Former President Maria Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino. An Icon of Democracy in the Philippines. The First Woman President in Asia. Salamat. Paalam.

So this is how it feels. Definitely worse than my first heartbreak. T_T

What other "news" are waiting to be revealed? Only time can tell. What happens next? Only God knows. -_-

Friends know that I adore Hello Kitty to bits and pieces. Then, there's the colorful yet complicated world of Tohoshinki Fandom which I've gotten myself into. Nonetheless, both of them I extremely love. And seeing them together definitely brings joy to my heart. ♥

Two of My Favorites

And, well, this particular "pairing" is, sort of, getting there. But this fanmade picture is just too weird and cute at the same time. x_x

( In Big Red Ribbons... o.O )

"COLORS ~ Melody & Harmony ~" is probably going to be my first Tohoshinki Single & DVD Purchase... Ever. I just hope there's going to be something Hello Kitty-ish in it. Hihihi. And I am so looking forward to hearing the song in local Sanrio Stores. I wish. ^^;

To Puroland, Harmonyland and, of course, ZEPP 20xx! ♥

"At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need." - Meredith Grey in "Don't Stand So Close to Me", Grey's Anatomy: Season 3 - Episode 10

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Seeing Changmin showing support and cheering for his dear SuJu Pals brings me this utmost happiness. Everything seems to be suddenly oh-so-perfect when two of the most valuable things in your life cross paths as simple as that. Gives me tears of joy, really. Plus Siwon and Changmin doing that manly handshake. Life doesn't get any better than that. Oh. ♥

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Tohoshinki's latest Channel-A Stint, aired last 23rd, is the bomb. I don't usually watch raw clips but I had to find some diversion from that Changmin-SuJu Clip. My eyes were all Cassiopeia Red already. The Secret Code @ Tokyo Dome Snippets FTW. The flashbacks shown since their Japan Debut are nostalgic too. T_T

It's been a while since I laughed as much as I did seeing YooSu so into the exercises and Changmin voting for JaeChunSu's "Love In The Ice" over his and Yunho's "The Prince of [Whatever]". And yes. That one up there is their unintentional "Sorry, Sorry" Stance. Not for the actual song though. Just for some Laughter Yoga they did in the show. I find it amusing still. And Park Yoochun all autistic dorky. Only he can pull off looking all retarded and still be adorable at that. Oh. ♥

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Checked my Credit Card Balance yesterday and it looks like things have been cleared now. Only 1 order has been charged and just 2 shiny and dainty copies of "Please Be Mine" are now on their way. All the advice, help and offers to purchase the, what I then thought were going to be, "extra" ones are very much appreciated. Thank you. *hugs* ♥

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

New Icons. And one for you. Finally. A space, not only in my heart, but also here in my LJ. Boom! ♥

Life. Work. Love. Now, Fandom. Whenever I feel like I've had enough, I shall go this entry and look at this. Reality Check. My boy definitely gives it all more than I do. ^^;

To Forever. 영원히~ ♥

This is one of the many reasons why, even if the "June Escapade" is over and done with, I will be avoiding unnecessary expenses as much as possible and be bringing packed lunch to work for an indefinite period of time starting tomorrow. I've decided. Mission MCSW09: Conquer Super Show II 2009! ♥

Orange-Peach Tight Skinny Jeans + Green Chucks = ♥

With long wigs, big ribbons and flashy earrings. The works. Major riot. And why wear the same color as Changmin's in Mirotic, Siwon?! Come on. T_T

Real Life Plans a.k.a. "Move On & Let Go" postponed indefinitely. No to resigning. Not yet. Oh please let it be Impact Arena. Please. ♥
