Epic Fail

My friend forwarded me this scanned cover of a Peruvian mag today.

This must be a joke. It has to be.

I know it can't be helped for people to compare jpop from kpop. I've seen a lot of threads with that topic. But juxtaposing Hyde's and Rain's pictures under that headline is a bit infuriating. L'arc~en~Ciel versus Rain is very very unseemly. Merp

It all begins when I wake up

4 Minute Warning
By Radiohead
>>here<<

This is just a nightmare
Soon I'm gonna wake up
Someone's gonna bring me 'round

Running from the bombers
Hiding in the forest
Running through the fields
Laying flat on the ground

Just like everybody
Stepping over hills
Running from the underground

This is your warning
4 minute warning

I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna know
I just wanna run and hide

This is just a nightmare
But soon I'm gonna wake up
Someone's gonna bring me 'round

This is your warning
4 minute warning

I will be going on a business trip, my very first one, in November. I’m excited and yet I am also very anxious. It will just be my boss and me. I’m not scared about the work or my boss, ahaha. Honestly, I am thrilled for this new job we’ll be doing. It’s more of a personal thing really. I have never traveled without a close friend beside me. So I feel like I’ll be completely on my own. And exactly THAT is what I’m terrified of because I don’t think I had ever traveled outside Metro Manila alone. Technically, I have my boss with me. But still! So when they told me I was the one going and that it’ll be for 5 days, I almost backed out. But I thought if I don’t go now, when would I ever go? I know this is a blessing. And I am very very thankful for it. This’ll be the test run for greater things coming. I was told that this is the time where I should stop talking and start listening because God is answering me back. Wow. If it’s Him, it’ll be something cool. I’m sure of it. I should know. But still, it's scary. My knees are shaking, so to speak, but I’m going to suck it up and make my first step into this adventure.

You know, I don’t think life is a race. A lot of people say it’s like a war. And I have to agree with them. Because it is. Like an adventure in Super Mario or something. . . . . but-

Oh, I should stop this blather and get back to work. I don't think I can elaborate now what I've just said about life. Suddenly, I'm not in the mood. lol

Ja ne! =)

Thought For the Day

I have a completely different attitude towards shopping. My new motto is 'Buy Only What You Need'. I know, it sounds almost too simple - but it really does work. Before each purchase, I ask myself one question:'Do I need this?' And only if the answer is 'yes' do I make the purchase. It's all just a matter of self-discipline.

But the thing is, this doesn't really work in fandom, does it? Because there, you absolutely need everything. :/

Good Tomorrows, Sweet Dreams

In addition to the gorgeous VAMPS album I got from Ai last week, my copy of Sweet Dreams single arrived yesterday and Duet's Oct. issue to boot. And I'm still delirious over them, I got, err, a little carried away taking pictures, as you can see *is sheepish...truly! lol*. Anyway, I had much fun taking and editing them, in spite of my crappy phone cam. \(^o^)/








(Wasn't that album big for my face? I don't think Hyde and KAZ used the right size for their shoot, hehe. Oh well -what's important is my face appears small, isn't it? Hahaha)

Warped

I’m back! Lol. I missed my blog. It’s been a little stressful here in the office lately. It has been insanely busy I thought I’ll never see the end of it. But here I am. Work is back to normal and we’re all happy now. :D

I met up with Ai last night. I finally got the VAMPS album I bought from her. I’m ecstatic. I like how the album looks like a small photobook -I even got the limited edition that comes with the DVD containing the PVs for the singles the band had released. Chou ureshii! And I got Wink Up Oct. issue too. I’m gonna take pictures later to post if I remember to, that is. My copy of Sweet Dreams single is also coming very very soon. And some other stuff just as wonderful are coming my way too. Chou ureshii yo!

Christmas is just right at the corner, isn’t it? It’s still –or should I say, only 2 months away. And I’m already thinking of all the things that I wish to buy/have. My, I’m becoming more selfish and more agitated at every second. There’s the L’Arc~en~Ciel 2010 calendar that is now for pre-order at Yesasia. I wonder if I’ll have that or the re-re-release of Hurry Xmas. Yes, L’Arc is releasing the single for the 3rd time. Releasing Hurry Xmas every year for Christmas has become a L’Arc tradition it seems. They even put a DVD with --heaven forbid -- unpublished performances from Tour 2007-2008 THEATER OF KISS *gasps*. How sly. So what can a fangirl do? Paula is too weak. :/

Anyway, I know I sound heartless blabbing about these superficial things like this when our country has just suffered from 2 typhoons, especially from Ondoy. But writing about it now only looks even more superficial to me. So I’d rather not....
