Fill the void in this picture-perfect world with your imagination.
Or maybe, the world will be a better place without mankind.

Okay, I am reminiscing my Year One days as I watch Gokusen 3.
"Maou" is a remake of the 2007 Korean suspense drama "The Devil" ("Mawang"). In this version, Ohno plays a lawyer seeking revenge against the killer of his relatives. For the role, he has cut his hair and dyed it black. Meanwhile, Ikuta has been cast as a detective investigating a mysterious series of murders.
Filming is scheduled to start at the end of this month. The show will air on Fridays at 10:00pm.
And that so made my day! Firstly, at last I get to see Ohno's wonderful acting on screen (I've only seen some snippets of his ぶたい and his acting mesmerised me, absolutely). Another thing is that it's a remake of "THE DEVIL" and Ohno plays the lawyer (in Mawang, it was JOO JI HOON)! O.M.G. And, Ikuta is the nice detective. I wonder who's playing the psychic lady.
I'm absolutely excited now that I don't know how to express all the racing thoughts in here. Most looked forward drama of the year, no doubt whatsoever (so, better not disappoint me).
Will she ever shut up?
I am shameless for those feelings.
Only looking at
the beauty of the other side,
I failed to notice
the beauty of the nearest you.
I'm thinking of writing one-shot fanfic stories. I was inspired to write after reading some of those online, just for the thrill of finding out how creative I can be. *thinks*
Oh sheesh, I spent last night worrying about installing some kind of Mac software to recover my iPod songs that I forgot to take some screenshots of episode 2 and 3 of Last Friends. Well, not in a hurry to blog about it, but I was planning to do so today. Maybe I should be the guai intern and complete all pending works by the end of work.
Random ranting (something I've been thinking about, maybe, don't know. still in progress actually.)
Not falling for anyone,
The pain I am enduring
cannot be prolonged.
Through stormy and sunny days,
I rather have my company.
Myriad of confusion
surfaces around me.
When I see you,
once firm me falls again
How do I get rid of it
to stand strong with my decision?
Decision not the same
because of you.
Somehow, somehow, I thought this can work out.
The rate it is going, don't you doubt that too?
End the fake felicity in front of our friends
it will stop us from falling deeper
into the facade of love.
Myriad of confusion
surfaces around me.
When I see you,
once firm me falls again
How do I get rid of it
to stand strong with my decision?
Decision not the same
because of you.
As darkness fall, I thought once again,
is it happily ever after?
While walking on the overhead bridge, I realise how beautiful the rows of trees rooted in the middle of the road can be so beautiful. I wonder how it will to stand there with them and weather through rain, shine and wind.
Understanding you is a tough job
Giggling when storm nears,
settling when sun shines,
understanding you is a tough job.
The stunner you put me to shame
Gleeful and doleful; unpredictable
understanding you is a tough job.
What are you really?
it'll stay a mystery.
On my way to work, I conjured a really suicidal-sounding piece of i-don't-know-what-it-is. But, here goes:
Festive Melancholy
Amidst the chaos,
I found inner peace.
Am I going to die?
Scream sounds like laughter,
Mope feels like pleasure.
Am I waiting for death?
I am not srue how to end this, but you can decode as I didn't want that situation 'I was in' to end. The title reflects the sadistic side of me. (It is supposed to show how 'festive' I felt when people were suffering in pain due to an accident. Actually I was supposed to be in pain too, but I enjoyed the torture.) Decipher for yourself.
Must be due to the loss of songs PLUS videos in iPod saga. I miss watching Wahaha PV on my iPod. *sobs* iPod touch is a loser.
On a happier note, Moriji always make my day, even when I have hundreds of suicidal thoughts running through my mind (okay, not really. I've never wanted to take my own life. But, you get the drift). Especially his cute little butt; it puts a huge retarded smile on my face, but it's for good so I won't complain about how I smile to myself VERY frequently.
Okay, being retarded again.
I think Moriji is secretly in love with my enemy, touchy (a.k.a iPod touch)!!!! See, he's kissing it.
When will I grow up, you ask?
Even I don't know.
I've not felt this much of emotions for a long time. It was like a roller coaster ride, maybe even more excitement than that. Through that one character (though the acting was pretty bad), I felt so much of her. The music didn't help in me regaining my composture but instead, made it even worse. I find myself hooked onto it, like as if it was me feeling all those pain she was going through. It must be the theme song, Prisoner of Love. Hail Utada Hikaru.
So, at last my desktop decided to be good after I went through the trouble of uninstalling every "weird" programs. Well, poor college student is after all too poor to afford a computer "doctor" to heal it. Well, thankfully, it now allows me to get my hands on Last Friends. I have been waiting for it forever and the wait was ほんとに worthwhile.
DRAMA STILLS AHEAD! and lots of NISHA's きもち and what went through her head (the thought of me going through the video again seem to overwhelm me a little too much. I need more time to recover.)
Last Friends is mainly about Michiru Aida (Nagasawa Masami from Proposal Daisakusen), an assistant hairdresser who is constantly being abused both at work (by her senior colleague - Hiratsuka Reina (Nishihara Aki from Hana Yori Dango)) and at her home, where she co-habits with her domestic violent (DV) boyfriend, Oikawa Sousuke (Nishikido Ryo from One Liter of Tears). Ironically, Sousuke works in a Child Welfare Department.
A day before she was going to co-habit with Sousuke (previously she was staying with her mother who brings home her boyfriend to make out with), Michiru bumped into her old bestie, Kishimoto Ruka (Ueno Juri from Nodame Cantabile). It had been 4 years since they met up, so it was a pleasant surprise for both of them, but even more for Ruka because she secretly is in love with Michiru.
Ruka works in motocross and that further reveals the masculinity side of her. Also, she almost always seem to be talking about wanting equality between man and woman so that gender will never be a barrier.
We are also introduced to Ruka's house mates (they live in a really beautiful house!), Mizushima Takeru (Eita from Nodame Cantabile) who works as a make-up artiste at day and bartender at night (love the bar's atmosphere), Takigawa Eri (Mizukawa Asami from Yamada Tarou Monogatari - don't recall her though) who works as an air stewardness whose colleagues ignore her existence, and Ogura Tomohiko (Yamazaki Shigenori from Proposal Daisakusen - don't recall too), Eri's colleague. In each episode, the drama reveals more of the character's personality and pasts, which will make us hook to the drama and scream for more. Through each others' strength, they look at the positive side of life, and always have fun when they get together even though they have their individual problems. (Be reminded that though the story starts with a preggy Michiru, it continues by showing Michiru's flashbacks).
Episode one stills ahead (and some of nisha's random comments about it).
Nisha spanks: Pretty sky! So blue!
Nisha spanks: And blue curtains to match it! Darn, I would love to live in such a beautiful house. Oh wait! I should not say this until 'Ruka and mate' 's house is revealed.
Nisha spanks: Look, they were so happy together the night
Nisha spanks: The part when I really started crying
Actually though I knew that there is a possibility that Ruka is a lesbian in the beginning of the show, I didn't expect it to be true for a peculiar reason that lesbians are not shown as the centre of the drama, until now of course. But, I am glad with this taken angle, though it might be risky (but, i'm sure i will enjoy every bit of it!).
I've watched till Episode 3 and am waitng for Episode 4 subs. I can't wait!
If only I can do the same for the pain I am enduring.
At a time like this, I realise I have no pillar to lean onto.
Even you fail to be there for me, the one only.
It hit me hard, that I am living only for myself in this world.
Alone, I shall suffer till I perish from the cruelty of this world.
Oh gosh, Four weeks of internship has passed so fast. And, I'm still unclear about my future plan. That can be quite scary. Sometimes, I just want to 'go with the flow', but won't that mean that I've lost to fate? Oh well, that was some random ranting.
Leah Dizon - I can spend the whole day listening to her songs! My current obsession is Leah Dizon and Thelma Aoyama. Both have soulful voices.
For the record, I've sustained a whole of 2 days without any Japanese shows. That's pretty sad. But, I can't get my Bitorrent to work! My computer is like superbly screwed up and I don't want to download using my lappy. So, I'm caught in a dilemma which leaves me feeling like a drug addict who can't live without his daily dosage of drugs. Just that this time it is not drugs, but Japanese dramas. Ah! I want to get my hands on Last Friends Episode 1! Oh my Nishikido Ryo.
I'd better fix the problem before next week comes. More dramas are going to be out next week! Namely Zettai Kareshi (oh my Mizushima Hiro!) and Gokusen 3.
Ah, I've yet to get around completing my articles and I've to attend an event tomorrow. Ah, so not looking forward for the weekend to end this fast.
LALALA. Old icons actually. I haven't been producing new ones. Gosh, I just realised that I spent the whole of last night anf today reading 'Worst' manga. That one is super addictive, I tell you. Tsukishima Hana is cute! I mean, his character. Ah, it'll be so nice to have someone so sweet around you the whole day. He's a sweet tough guy. *dreams*
LOL. Yes, another icon madness. Gosh, maybe I am addicted to it. But it can be really pressurising sometimes because the end result might differ from my initial thought. Oh wells, just to wild away my time and make me happy, I do this.
