>New layout! :D Why?

>Because I was getting bored of the old one.

Because Kani gave me lots of blog layout links in Twitter last night.

Because my blog link is ClandestineYELLOW. So I must choose BLUE.

Because I had an crazy awesome flail-worthy spazzy MSN chat with Tashii last night. With lots of picspams.

And because IT’S OHMIYA. ‘NUFF SAID 8D♥

Nino supports Yummylolly.com, because her pretty layouts are freeeee! XD

>MY MAIL ARRIVED TODAY! AND THAT MEANS…

>…MY MINI SCENE UCHIWA AND PHOTOBOOK ARRIVED!

After three years of being in the fandom, THIS IS MY FIRST EVER UCHIWA! SQUEEE! 8D

CHIBI IMPACT: MAXIMUM 8D

Honest to say, I totally forgot that Lya sent me these things yesterday! Too many stuff going on, and the package was completely forgotten

And, that, added to the surprise! 8D

I went out of the house to pick up my brothers from school. It was a normal drive to and back– maybe the most out of the ordinary thing was the fact that I didn’t come across any rude drivers at all! XD Came back home with no anticipation, no doki doki suru. But when I went through the small gate, I saw something yellow in the mail box.

A PosExpress package.

There was no escape! I SCREEEEEAMED WITH EXCITEMENT! 8DDD Hugging the package close, I ran up to my room, shut the door and locked it. Then I calmly and carefully opened the package and let my hands run over the two new items for me collection ~ <3

First thing I did was hold the uchiwa in my hands, thinking, “This is MINE. 8D” Pssh, it’s a first timer thing, leave me be! XDD

And I gently took the photobook in my hands next. When I opened it….

THIS WAS STARING RIGHT BACK AT ME <3333

SHO’SSEXYSMOULDERING EYES SMOULDER ME

After that, I took about a million pictures of my new stuff XD

And because a million pictures eat bandwith…

PICSPAAAAAM (Can you tell this is my current favourite word? :D)

What came in the mail!

Lya’s note behind the Sho picture <3
The mini uchiwa is SO CUTE! XD
The back of the uchiwa :D

And, since it’s a photobook, incoming photos! Guh, crappy phone camera quality is crappy

Chipmunk cheeks! <3

That sneaky looking smirk/smile~ *swoon* XD

Specs!

Riida with those forever chubby cheeks *noms him*
And my favourite Bartender <33
Shaky hands >.> But Chibi!Sho looks good in yellow *wiggles eyebrows* XD

AND NINO HAD CHEEKS LOL

Aiba is pretty pretty pretty from *checks book* 2003 <3
When I saw this I went, “That same hat over and over?!”

 Then again, his mom buys his stuff for him at that time XD


Because that Aiba-chan in green made me smiiiiiiile

Pre-DoS days~ <3 *squishes his cheeks!*
Because it’s Ohmiya. And because I’m addicted to them XD

*squishes!* <3

Ending it with this because Yoko’s face amused me XD

Now excuse me while I go asdfghlklkhlhas over Chibi!Arashi for the nth time today 8Dv

>Kinokuniya Flail!Fest!

>Flail!Fest with GorgeousTashii today! 8D

Omg, my first outing on a weekday since December! Ha! So, anyway, I’m gonna skip all the rambly boring stuff like the fact that my dad got us lost for 15 mins while trying out a new shortcut, or the fact that I was late (again), or the fact that Tashii went O.o at my BRIGHT GREEN AND YELLOW OUTFIT when she saw me at KLSentral XD

*cough* None of that, so I’ll skip to KLCC straight. 8D Upon reaching, I gave her a tee shirt we bought in Port Dickson last year, and changed into it! Yeah, two giggly people in matching bright powerhouse    Nino YELLOW-coloured tees!

Then we headed off to Kinokuniya, with one target in mind: GANTZ Visual Book. After a quick discussion, and because the Nino-force in us is strong, we finally decided to share money and buy it!

THE SACRED GANTZ PHOTOBOOK: (The following photos are stolen from Tashii’s blog because it’s her turn with Powerhouse now XDDDDD)

The cover! Taken from the time when the 20% off sticker was still there T3T

BECAUSE THIS PICTURE = asdfghjasfafljKAWAII!

DITTO HERE.

Can I just be bias and go sdfghjka over EVERY Nino picture in the book?

And this! IS JUST AWWWWH

The Duck and the Frog <333

Ending picspam with smouldering Nino <3 *death*

We decided to grab some food to eat at the Food Court because I hadn’t had anything to eat since last night. Also, we needed a flail-spot. XD And that, was just exactly what we did! We sat in the Food Court for hours, chatting on mindlessly about anything and everything under the sun :D

Much later, after a refreshing drink from Juice Works, we headed off to the LRT. Again, we were blabbing non-stop XD Hey, when you put two fangirls together, LOUDNESS ensures! 8D Oh, yeah, on a side note, I bluetooth’d Tashii some songs, and each time a song was completely transferred, her phones goes in that sultry sexy Sho voice, “Sweet dreams, baby.” And both of us, as a habit, would always, always repeat that line.

Now imagine two people in a somewhat crowded train, suddenly and out of nowhere went, “Sweet dreams baby~!” XDDD Kikikiki

In the train, Tashii and I talked mostly about fanfics; her still on going Mercurial Dreams, and a Papa!Kazu fic I requested. I AM EGGSAYTED FOR EET XDDDD

*

Went off to Giant after my outing! :D Tou-chan finally decided to get me new shoes, since my MatsuJun-coloured sneakers hurt my feet.

Guess what colour I got~?

AIBA COLOURED SNEAKERS!

The best thing was, the shop arranged Arashi coloured sneakers ALL IN A LINE. You have NO idea how hard it was to pick one pair from the massive pile of colourful rainbow shoes! xD In the end, it was a close battle between Nino colours and Aiba colours.

Aiba won!

Two reasons:

1) Aiba x any Arashi member makes me squee! So I can just change the shoelaces according to my member-ai mood that day XD

2) I have enough Nino for that day, thank you very much. I love my Arashi boys equally. /partial lie./

And because I had some extra money left in me, I bought the Ohmiya slippers. Why? BECAUSE THEY’RE OHMIYA COLOURED, DAMMIT 8D ‘NUFF SAID.

*

At the end of the day, I jotted down my expenditures of the day in my Accounts Journal Nino Book.

RM116.

In one day.

The Nino in me died. D: I KILLED THE NINO IN MEEEEEE. I’M AN INTERNAL NINO-MURDERER! |D

*cough*

I have used up all my genkiness and my sanity for today, so off to sleep now! (Maybe you can tell with the sporadicity of this post)

Peace, out! XD

>I’m a Proud Arashian :’)

>

The quake and tsunami in Japan brought out the best in so many people. So many people have helped and donated to it, and every single happy news brings a smile to my face– even Bieber’s 1mil donation and Lady Gaga’s 5mil donation– made me smile.
But this; THIS touched me so much, I can’t sleep now.
Arashians from AROUND THE WORLD are joining hands to help out with the disaster. The mods in arashi_on put up a fund raiser/garage sale, with all proceeds going to Red Cross to help out the people there.
The thing is, it seems like everyone is pitching in. People are buying/selling/auctioning stuff for the garage sale. People are giving out their skills– translating, icon-making, wallies etc– if people are donating. The fansubbing communities are working together to put out some newly subbed vids with each USD500 mark in the funds. Even the disbanded sora_takaku is coming back specially for this!
You tell me how can I read that and not feel my heart soar into the sky?
From what I see, everyone really, truly cares!
This feeling of melted happiness is rushing through me now, giving me this warm fuzziness in me :’)
This fandom is really, really, amazing. <3
I’m so proud to be an Arashian!

>Massive Quake; Massively Worried

>An 8.9 Richter scale earthquake hit Japan today at around 5pm, and it triggered a massive tsunami across Northern Japan. Quite a few of the big cities that are in a critical status ): The death toll is rising significantly.

Really. I was antsy for the whole day today! Hani P.’s brother is in Fukushima (I told Kerol he was in Chiba, but I was mistaken), Raj just got home to the Phillippines last night, and quite a few of Refrain’s teammates’ relatives are in Japan. I kept thinking, are they okay? Were they hurt? Did they evacuate safely?

This one felt just so surreal, because prior to the event, I was chatting normally with Raj in MSN and Kerol in Twitter. When the news came, it affected them, and in turn, it affected me so much.

I worry for them for the whole day. I pray that Kerol’s and Azu-chan’s family members are alright! As well as the people in Japan, Phillippines, Indonesia, Hawaii and wherever else a tsunami/quake hits D:

>Driving in the Morning. Oh Blah.

>Usually it’s a call for kaachan to dish out an MC if she’s not around to drive The Minis to school, but since Satoshi and Arip has exam today, I was to be her substitute.

So for the first time in months, I woke up and saw dawn rising! XD

The driving to school was a piece of cake. The driving back home… was not.


Little did I know that rush hour was up until 9 D: So slowly, the car crawled back home.

Arashi songs are on full blast from Kioku (Unlike Truth, my old phone, Kioku can’t be plugged into the USB port– instead of playing songs, it charges the phone, rendering it useless :/) and I was singing and dancing along to it.

I caught a couple of people staring at me while waiting for the traffic to move. XD Hell, I don’t caaaaare; I was bored!

Went out of the house at 6:45am, reached home at 9:30am. D:

Nearly three hours in the car!

Conclusion: I don’t want to send my brothers to school agaaaaain!

>New Kitty in the Neighbourhood!

> There’s a new cat in the neighbourhood, and it visited my house today!

I saw her skulking around the curb a few times, but overly territorial Momo keeps chasing her away ); She’s white with an orange spot on her body and orange ears and tail <3 VERY much like Momo, I have to say. (A spawn of his? XD)

But today! While Momo was inside the house, and as I walked around the house at dusk, I found her creeping under the bushes. I tell you, I got really excited! I crouched, and held my hand out while waiting for her to come out of Bon Bon (It’s a tree in my garden that I named when I was 12 XD)

It took a while, but she finally crept out.

And she was SO THIN. D8

Compared to the fat Gemomok (Gemuk and Momo combined XD), this cat was puny and scrawny D: So I quickly held her and ran off to Momo’s bowl. Looking around to see if that obsessive protective cat wasn’t around first, I then gave the new kitty a full bowl of cat food.

And she attacked it, the poor thing.

I managed to feed it two bowls before Momo came bounding over and the new cat ran off.I didn’t even manage to get myself a photo of her.

Here’s hoping that she’ll come back soon! <3

>Hacking the Human Brain

>Discovered an amazing new show today, in Discovery Channel! (Aptly named, dear channel, aptly named~ 8D)

Instead of turning off the television after watching my daily Mythbusters, I stayed and watched. So, I stayed in the living room for a while, flipping channels. And when I flipped back to DC, I found this show: Deception with Keith Barry.

For one, I saw the commercial for this particular show for quite a while I simply LOVE anything that has to do with the human brain (except, maybe, consuming it? LOL) and  in this show, it focuses more on the prospect of… mind-reading, so to speak. He said that he uses subtle body language– using certain phrases, or gestures– to make people act as he wanted them to.

One of the ‘experiments’ that gave me goosebumps was this: what he did was that he quickly– and I am stressing QUICKLY– flashed a card in front of the participant, and asked for any random word. The guy said, “Apple.”

When Keith showed the card, it listed five items on it:

Aeroplane
Pen
Paper
Lightbulb
Elephant

The acronym for the list, so to speak, WAS apple. He said that the subconscious brain picks up stuff in an alarmingly fast rate, and it’s so fast that it doesn’t even register in the conscious mind.

Which made me think, how many things get past us and we didn’t even realize it? So many things that go unnoticed, are they actually stored in our brain somewhere? And does those little bits of information affect the way we think and act? 

The human brain is a mystifying thing ~ <3

>Collab project!

>Oookay, so I’m addicted to translating things now XD

Just got to know that my friend Tashii knew how to encode/typeset and time! So~ we’re thinking of doing a collab for this :P

Trying my hand at Marionette Arashi ~Saikou no Kissu~ clip! :D Though I have no idea whether this HAS been subbed yet or not >.>

Expect it after my first project has been released by Refrain! \o/

>Otsukare, me!

>Finally done translating!!

I started today, at around 11 till 12, then continued from 12 to 2:30. That’s a  total of 4 hours plus for a seven minute clip! Whoo! Maybe taking a fancam for a first project was a bit too ambitious, but!

I DID IT! YATTA, OKAASAN, YATTA!!!

 8Dv

 Ohmigosh, I really hope it’ll be released soon! \o/ \o/ \o/

…ok, I’m off to crash on my bed now. >.>zzzz
