Im only part Chinese. I wasn't even able to meet the man (my Chi grandfather) who gave us his surname coz my dad was still young when he lost him. My grandmum who is pure Filipina re-wed another man. My lolo Artemio stood as my dad's stepfather from then on 'til he himself joined the Creator when I was around 10 years old. Bless his good soul. So my dad only knew very little Fookien when I started asking him if he knows any Chinese at all. It was around this time that I decided to take a year-long study on Mandarin. I guess I've always been interested in languages and it's just so happened that my fascination with Mandarin was also mixed with my fascination with my F4 boys ^__^ Well, it helps to have a good motivation specially that the language Im learning isn't very easy. In that one year, I was just able to reach level 2 and I thought I was sweating blood already. Too many words, too many intonations and the CD I was listening to was too fast. I guess there really isn't any easy way to Mandarin unless I'll be left to fend off for myself in Taiwan or Hongkong alone. I've always believed that immersion is the best way to learn it. It has always been for everything. When one is faced with no options and his/her life depends on it, one will be forced to move heaven and earth to make things work. I was so willing to do that. Even considered to work abroad but then the nihon wind just brisked me away *lol* That'll be another story so let's stick to this one for now.
Aaaah, I actually learned Mandarin at ADMU and my class had a very interesting mix of people. Im so delighted to have met them all--- an NGO director who flies out every so often, a manager who deals with Chinese clients most of the time, a Liberian who is now stationed in the Liberia Embassy in China, a young journalist who accessorises himself with Dao Ming Si's headband in class, a mom who wants to teach her children Chi characters, another Mom who works for the government and is just in it like me--- for the sheer earnestness to learn Mandarin and there were others too. We would always have a good laugh at each others' mispronounciations and wrong tones. I still cant really stick to the tones when I speak it myself. I remember that we had an assignment in class one time and we were grouped into 3s. We have to come up with a good script for a situation and present it the next meeting. I volunteered to do the script myself as I was getting into it but I also consulted my good pengyou Jac on this and then before I know it, she was so willing to make the whole script for me instead. I even asked her to give me the translations for each line so when laoshi asks, we'd be able to know what those lines meant. I thought I was doing my groupmates a favor since they have hectic scheds themselves but when we presented our script, the NGO director was reading her lines including the translations! *slaps forehead* Good thing laoshi is a very good laoshi that she pretended not to hear but I knew exactly what was going on in her head then... "these peeps will never learn by cheating O_o" I think what she said is just true *lol* Last time I checked, Mrs. NGO director was off to England and her Lonely Planet english-chinese-english dictionary she says, weren't much of a help. Oh duibuqi madam ehehe... To sum it all up, my Mandarin class though not much stuck, was a fun learning experience ^___^
So why was I telling you about this? Besides from it being so apt these days, I just want to say that more than it being nice to get back to your roots and be proud of your origin, one should broaden knowledge and do what you want to do. I once was asked by a friend if all the efforts of learning Mandarin was one of my attempts of embracing my Chinese ethnicity. I just said no, I think it would really be fun to know more languages than English and Filipino. Probably not the answer my grandfather would have wanted me to say but well, with all the tongue twistings I had gone through in my Mandarin class, he would have appreciated the efforts.
On that note, dajia, wo yao zhuni xinnian kuai le!!! wo xiang jinnian nimen duo ai huo xingfu! (what do you think? bad Mandarin? hahahaha)

abracadabra shishbumba
Been tossed like a salad from REAL WORLD <---> FANDOMWORLD these days. TAIHEN I know but I try to manage and juggle everything. Aside from the birthdays which seem to be frequent this month (Well, Im not gonna complain that there are lots of Capricorns and Aquarians I've come to know of. One, I know so too well or do I? Well, I should *lol*), there's my parents' 30th anniversary and VENUS and more deadlines after another at work and VENUS and another get together with friends and VENUS. Really, I wont be too surprised myself if I do Linda Blair's 360 degrees headspin again (in Exorcist) here. I might even spit out acid in the days to come but I try not to complain too much. It is hard to start the year with too much complaints. Bad for the soul. Bad for my innate genki-ness XD
Anyways, is the theme these days BOLLYWOOD???? Coz I know Erly's office party theme recently was BOLLYWOOD with all the works of vindis, saris, turbans and yes, black eyeliners! We even helped out in making her achieve the look which was a-okay I guess. Then suddenly, 'VENUS' came out.... for my friends here who are wondering how a GREEK GODESS turned out bollywood, here is what I actually meant >>>
'VENUS' is Tackey and Tsubasa's latest single release and as you see, we have our Indian friends enjoying the VENUS hand movements like the rest of the crowd. Then it hit me, could they also be promoting in INDIA?! *lol* As some of you, no doubt, know that big promotions are planned for the launch of VENUS in other parts of Asia (well, outside of Thailand and China atleast). Which I think is the first of Johnnys Entertainment to do for a single release?! Well, I really am not so keen on news on the other Johnnys units but since Tackey will be with Johnny-san tomorrow in Macau and then in HK... wait, let me get my beach towel first before I come here to cry for purposedly missing that TTT__TTT *blows on the beach towel* eeewww *lol*... Well, anyways, I know that even if it brings me sadness, I WILL DEF STILL BE READING ON INFOS about it. Oh well *shrugs* Before moving on to the next BOLLYWOOD-related thing, I can't help but cap some of my fave VENUS Tackey moments. Dozo...
C'mon just look at him and surely, one would need another pack of blood from the bloodbank! HONTOU NI KONO HITO ATSUII NE~ SOOO DROOLSOME! I'm feeling im gushing out of blood just capping those! Of course, i did cap 2 of my fave shots of his aikata too. Dozo...
Yes, another pack of blood please!!! Like Tsuba-chan intentionally unbuttoned that low to give us a peek of his shiny, shiny chest (+__+) I hope Tackey did too but unfortunately, much to most TACKEY fangirls' dismay, he wore a black tank inside. DAAAAMN stylist!!!!! Like hello stylist, if Tsuba doesn't wear a tank inside, the aikata shouldn't wear too! You should be consistent yo! *rant* *bicker* *rant* on the black tank!!! Next time STYLIST, do your job well. Even if it meant TxT wearing turbans... just make sure they will ONLY WEAR turbans ok?! hehehehehe *sukebe attack*
Now, moving on to the the third BOLLYWOOD of recent events---> Lowie and Erly's birthday which we celebrated yesterday. We went to THE PROMENADE, GREENHILLS which I haven't gone to before. I only go as far as Shoppesville to do some bargain shopping but haven't gone to that posh, new place yet. Since yesterday was Lowie's and Erly's birthdays, they decided to treat the barkada to a dinner and supposedly an hour of gaming and videoke just that the place where we were supposed to go gaming and videoke closed up early. So back to dinner then, we were choosing where to eat as the guys were busy at FULLY BOOKED looking at comics and action figures and stuff. I was so hungry, I was so ready to eat anywhere as long as it is not a grillery place coz the previous night, I went to have dinner with the family to celebrate my parents' anniversary (as usual, I was late and so I have to eat while everyone stared (-_-;) ) in a grillery place. Then Lowie called me to say that the guys were already at 'ARYA', a Persian resto that we have to follow soon coz everybody's getting hungry. So fine. Then as I read through the menu, I was chuckling on the CHICKEN CURRY, HUMMUS and SHISH KEBAB. Good thing nobody noticed it much but these bollywood chain-of-events is starting to creep in on me. How coincidental that these things are happening now? Could BOLLYWOOD be hitting it big soon?! or am I just missing something coz I've been hangin' around Jfandom so much as not to notice?! Hmmm.... if so, I wouldn't be too surprised if people do start (to quote MOMO) "playing HIDE n SEEK between coconut trees" hahahaha...
Before I end this entry, I'd have to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY DEAREST PARENTS even if they try to steal away the remote from me everytime I watch ZA SHOUNEN CLUB on Sunday nights (and i really have to say that?! XD)!!! 30 years is an accomplishment between couples so I'm glad you have gone this far! I hope your relationship would be everlasting ^__^ and yeah, can I have the remote for an hour around 9pm on Sundays?! You can have them back, I promise! Besides, you can always watch in your room anyways. PLEASE GIVE ME THE REMOTE *lol*
PS: GAWD! Im soooooo inlove with 'KIMI NO NA WO YOBITAI' song. I have been listening to it since this morning and except for a quick break of Pussycat Doll's 'Stick with You', I think I've been listening to JUST that the whole day. Awwwww TACKEY!!!! *hearteyes*

PS 2: I forgot to add in this entry that I just stood beside BSB's Howie D. awhile ago at 'People are People' hahahaha. The BSB are here for a concert titled,"NEVER BEEN GONE" which I think is gonna be on tomorrow. Used to like BSB, specially fond of Nick Carter but now Tackey is waaaaaaaay ahead of him on the crushin' on lane XD Ok Im putting a bit info about this here so if next year, I'd scan through my entries, I will know that under 01.19.06 - Dithers stood by Howie D. while peeps outside are being shoo-ed away by the bodyguard *lol*. This is how it happened: Mems just got an SMS from Bubbles, a workmate who happened to leave teh office earlier than us. On the SMS she said that she just saw Nick Carter in the next escalator in Robinson's Galleria. Of course, since Im really not much into BSB these days, I kinda shrugged it off but Mems and Ateng were both so psyched up to see any walking, strolling BSB in the vicinity. So ok, for a minute, I pulled back my BSB fangirl feelings from I dun know where and was brisk walking to the 3rd floor which Bubbles so generously tipped us. On the 3rd floor, we saw peeps gathering outside 'People are People' so I bet BSB is in there. So off we go and surprisingly, peeps were just standing there, trying to get a glimpse but weren't bold enough to get in the store itself. The doors weren't closed but the peeps opted standing outside???! weird! So I took Ateng's hand and we headed inside. I mean, I would normally go in and check out the items so why not go in and check out the items now deshou? Of course, whoever BSB was in there (we assumed there's only one coz the fitting room isn't that big and only 1 bodyguard stood infront of the fitting room area) seem to take his fitting so long. Like he already fitted several clothes while we *pretend* checking out items at the girls' rack area. Then when I couldn't stand it anymore, I asked Ateng to buy me those cheap clips to have a closer look. Ummm, I wasn't able to bring my wallet with me coz Mems was insisting for me to hurry up. So he gave me a P10 coins for it hahaha... how cheap!!! *lol* While I was paying for the clips on the counter, HOWIE D. came out from the fitting room and headed to where I was standing. The bodyguard, a burly teddy bear-ish guy (who looked a lot like marshmallow man that couldn't seriously hurt a butterfly XD), paved way and since I got to the counter first, he didn't shoo me away O_o They waited for the cashier girl to finish my transaction for cheapo hair clips that I kinda saw the items Howie D. was buying. He got a greyish denim washed out jacket, a green shirt and another shirt. Could it be --Howie D.'s a cheapo dude too?! *lol* Anyways, I have my kettai fone with me and it could have been easier to take his picture coz Im alone on that corner with Howie D. next in line as opposed to the crowd building up outside the store flashing their fone cams and digicams or whatsoever. But I didn't take out my fone or looked interested at all. For one, the magic of BSB in me has long been gone and another, I dun easily get starstruck and my friends would know of this (of course, TxT would be a different matter ne~). So there, I paid for my clips and got out the soonest possible time, I think I even kinda bumped Howie D. on my way out. Mems who was already outside the store as Im guessing the store clerks might have asked them to clear the area, was still holding onto her digicam. I told her, "GO! There were already a few more people inside taking his picture" but again, she insisted I'd go with her. I said, "You can do it!". She pleaded, "PLEEEAASEE~~~" so ok, went inside but again, Mems wasn't fast enough so since a number of people were already closing in on Howie D., taking his picture, the security guard already asked the peeps to leave and closed the glass door. *TSK* sorry Mems. You know, if you really have wanted to take his picture, you could have taken it. Honestly, your pagiging moviefan *lol* just overwhelmed you yet again. I actually could have done differently if you know.... it's TACKEY *lol* I wouldn't hesitate to get close to him and maybe I could have bought more and more items with the cheapo clips to strike a conversation with him coz more items= more time for cashier girl to compute and stuff= quality time with Tackey hahahaha (Y'KNOW, IM NOT REALLY GOOD IN MATH BUT SOMEHOW, I THINK I'LL ACE TACKEY EQUATIONS don't you think so?! XD XD XD). Don't worry Mems, you once got lucky with JT before ^_~ or I think, twice already?! hehehe... ~kimi no na wo yobitai~

buffalo wings night
I just came from my cuz' bar opening. His bar is in Antipolo and since it was his birthday just about 3 hours ago, we were more obliged to go. The bar which was originally a billiards place launched its official opening last night too. For come-on, he said he'd bring FHM girls to go ledge-dancin. I SMS-ed him and asked if he'd bring COSMO bachelors for the girls too (*ahem* like me hahaha). And then no reply *lol*. Oh well, since you're my cuz, I will go. So 10pm last night, we were off to his bar. We have to drag otosan to come with us eventhough my parents just came from Subic coz the SCC or Senior Citizens' Club (hahaha.... that's what we call our parents and my cuz' parents and they don't take offense. They're a cool lot ^^) are going so they need to get together and keep theirselves entertained. But I knew my otosan wouldn't be very happy being in such a noisy, smoky place like a bar. You know SCC, booze, loud, banging noise and music-controlled green laser lights just don't mix very well. But since it was for a nephew's birthday, my otosan was game despite that he's very tired. Awww Daddy-o~~~ Anyways, we arrived and the place hasn't picked up yet so we just ordered pica-pica food. My cuz' wife offered us their cocktail drinks so I ordered a margarita but only after I gobbled some buffalo wings which is becoming my fast favorite there.
While we wait, my other cuz who was seated with his mates from work came to check on us and he told me he'd introduce me to his Japanese friend who I think looked like Vaness Wu from afar with bulging white muscle shirt and that short spiky clean look. Hmmm... looked promising but I left my nihonggo at home *lol* that I told my cuz that I'd eat first. Then he said, "Ok, practice your nihonggo first and eat"...... *gulps* WHAT DOES HE MEAN 'PRACTICE MY NIHONGGO'??? Am i gonna be in some conversational nihonggo quizbee?! IIIIIYAAAYYY!!!! I think I heard my inner self go *cluck* *cluck* *cluckatoo* (-__-;) Well, with my cuz going back to his table, I was able to concentrate on my buffalo wings wary of meeting this guy. Then the lights were dimmed and the FHM girls (or so they're dressed to be) came out one by one. Dancing on the ledge in their microminis, hotpants and cleavage-enhancing tops. Im pretty sure the guys in the crowd were pleased coz THOSE are what they actually came for. MEN! *tsk* *tsk*
For the past minutes, it was those girls dancing and getting the guys to dance too. I think the girl in black with the most revealing top went to my cuz' table and asked Mr. Vaness Wu-look alike to dance with her but he did not fall for it. Hmmm... either he's a shy guy or he needed more alcohol. So with the unsuccesful attempt to get the guys on that table to go dance with her, she squared in on the next table and one of the guys stood up. Oh Im so happy for her. Its hard to be dressed so little and still be turned down like that.... I mean, Id give her A for effort here coz she was there even before we arrived.
Suddenly, my otosan just told us we'd be leaving already. He says he's tired plus his tooth was aching which he was complaining about before. I think he just cant stand the noise anymore. Well, I understand coz we seated ourselves near one of the bar's loud speakers *lol* So we paid the bill and I greeted my cuz a happy birthday before we headed for the door. My other cuz saw us and told me he'd introduce me na but I have to go to their table but since the *cluck*-ing got louder, I just told him next time. Guess its okay coz at that moment, I really dun have a very substantial answer in case the guy asks why I'm trying to learn nihonggo. I think it'll not be alright if I tell him "coz Im in love with Takizawa Hideaki of Tackey and Tsubasa". I would have to rephrase that to something else more sensible for a non-fandom-er. For now, I will leave him to the dancing FHM girls ^__~

major blah-blah-blahs
When I said 'BRING IT ON 2006!' on my previous entry, I didn't actually mean 'KILL ME NOW!!!!' Its January 10, 2006 (just 10 days from the start of this year) with relatively cold weather here in the Phils but it seems im already heating up rolling at 50mph with all the TxT going-ons shot back to fandomworld one after another and of course, one cannot escape the demands of the REAL WORLD. Reasons why I haven't been able to update too. With all these happenings everywhere, im already in a daze @___@ I know i wished 2006 to be busier than 2005 but goodness, why do you have to give it to me so soooon????!!!! You should have let me take a deep, deep, deep breath first so I could muster all the energies I'd be consuming early part of this year (and how deep you ask? from the looks of it, id have to take a Mariana trench XDDDD ) But hell, since it has begun, CARRY ON!!!
First the RL, it was already back to work even before I finished singing 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' with only 4-repetitive lines to it. DAAAAAAAAARN!!!! But well, a bitter pill to take in. If only I was born related to Bill Gates *sigh* Im not asking to be the sole heiress to the Gates' bank account (though that sounds real good hehehe) but maybe have him as my uncle?! And me, his favorite niece, would be inheriting a few loose change from his more or less $60B. SUBARASHIII DAA!!!! But then again, Bill Gates wouldn't be sleeping so well these days considering his worth monetary-wise. There are just some things you can't have deshou? Well, if you can't enjoy something as mundane as a good sleep then it is nothing. BUT maybe if I just stay in low radar being Bill's favorite niece, I could get away with it?! Naaaaaahhhh!!!!! I don't want to give myself false hopes *lol*
Well, aside from work, my sister's birthday debut was finished yesterday. I have to congratulate little sis for being able to pull off everything from the very nice venue to the program to the funny yet weird photographer. YES, we were so *evil* that we left everything to her and its HER debut. Though i helped out with the invitations and edited her mushy program and ribbon-ed the 18 roses and well, rendered sufficient moral support XD But it seemed that she enjoyed organizing everything and last night, i knew she had a blast. Her smile stretched from one ear to the other as her friends greeted her one by one. Im sure she's still be floating in her own little world when i get home XD Of course, I wouldn't let this pass without giving her my heartfelt---

OMEDETOU TO YOU, LIL SIS!!! NOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE YOUR FIRST 18 YEARS WONDERFUL, YOU HAVE NO REASON NOT TO MAKE THEM EVEN MORE MEANINGFUL IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS! ENJOY and 1-4-3-4-4 hahahahaha....
Hats off to your organizing skills too. I wouldn't be too surprised if you plan your own wedding someday. I know you would be able to do it real well (^_^) Just don't forget, I looked good in teal or orange and pale yellow isn't really my color *wink* *wink* hehehe
Moving on, meeting friends for the holidays hasn't stopped yet too. I was able to meet with my balikbayan (naks!) friend ANNE-chan who came all the way from tadaaaahhh--- GUAM! *lol* It was really nice to see her again as she is the walking magnet of all 'untypicals' hahahaha. Yeah ANNE-chan, somehow you attract these untypicals and still stay all cheery after XD MAN, I could never say the same for me. That snake will never see the daylight pronto!!! (of course, id ask somebody to do the dirty job for me *lol* Me scared of snakes ahehe). Suddenly I missed my other friends who have gone overseas... ANJA...TOGS...VIDOT.... and the others. But well, I know we'd see each other some good times again. As for friends who are here, I have to meet up with MEL, ARMI (we had a quick lunch today but forgot to bring her gift...tsk!) and CANDY. I haven't given TALA and SUNNY their gifts yet too. So have to set dates for dinner or lunch or something so I wouldn't be piling belated holiday gifts in my already-packed closet. As for the others, I think I could hand it to them in some opportune time or probably next holidays?! hehehehe
NOW for the fandomworld (and this left me truly dizzy but im asking for more *lol*), Tackey and Tsuba have been really busy during the holiday time. Based from the reports of the lucky ones (who me??? sourgraping??? CHIGAU YO! defensive???? IIE XD) who were able to go to Tackeycon/Tsubacon, I say they both did very, very well. If truth be told, TACKEY, for me and the rest of your fans, you definitely did not lose to Christmas!!! You made it all the more beautiful and wonderful. Looking at the conpix, may I add, you made it COLORFUL too *lol*. Im glad that he was able to get a wonderful feedback from his Osaka and Yokohama cons. Ever first TACKEYCON went real well eventhough there were minor problems with the HIDEZO doll and stuff (BON-chan, please dun kill me. Gomen nasaiiii!). Of course, I will not overlook the part that エロエロダンス is back ne~~~
This one pic got to me instantly. It certainly made my Christmas less chilly hehehehe

S H I T A - B I T I N G WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! TACKEY hun, let me know if you ever get tired doing that and I would be so willing to extend you a little help.... KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Dont ask anymore why he was dressed like that or I may not be able to spare you of all the HADDO GEI virus that I'm slowly recovering from *lol* (SANDY-chan, dun play innocent coz Im pointing at yah as the culprit of it all!!! KOWAIKATTA!!!! :p Dithers, think happy, wholesome thoughts. Think SESAME STREET! Think of MS. PIGGY! Think of KERMIT the frog! Think GROVER! Think ERNIE and BERT!!! ThinkBIG BIRD!!! aaargh... just think of HAPPY, WHOLESOME THOUGHTS! XD ) And that is only a tip of the iceberg! I also love this particular shot of him without the huge feather boa this time >>>
Don't yah just wanna run to the nearest KENNY ROGERS and get yourself a slab of BABY BACK RIBS (coz he is quite thin in some pix) and some TAMAGO sandwiches to go??? WHAT A FEAST!!! BUUUUURP!!!!!! Oops, hehehe...
Anyways, Im also happy that Tsuba was able to come to his YOKOHAMA con last 25th. More glad that Tackey came to Tokyo Tsubacon in return (like FINALLY!!!!). I know how Tackey has been busy that he wasn't able to go to Tsuba's earlier cons. Maybe those 2 extended con dates were scheduled so that Tackey would be able to join his aikata ne?! YOKAAATTA!!!
DEMO NAaaa.... O_O...... NAAA......O_o............NAa-naa-naa...
NAAAAAAAANIIII KooOOOooOOOoooREEE???!!!??? *THUD* *THUD* *THUD* (+_+)
IF THAT ISN'T MAJOR RABU-RABU, ID CALL IT TxT's ERO LIMBO~ROCKIN' DUO PARTY EXTRAVAGANZA!!! *lol* Im too entertained to *whack* these two bakas hahahahahaha.... GAAAAWD! Please tell me what they're doing!!! BOYS, GET A ROOM YO!!! and tell us where onegaishimasu hahahaha Like minna-san, I'd be on the lookout for THAT on the Tsubacon DVD! That has to be on the DVD! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......
Now aside from these solocons which TxT were able to accomplish succesfully (a big O M E D E T O U to them again!!!!), they just semi-launched 'VENUS' on the Johnnys Countdown last New Year's eve. KATTUN, KANJANI8 and NEWS backup danced for them on this which is delightful to see. The stage is overflowing with testosterones ne?! *lol* Uber kawaii ^___^. Of course, I had my eyes set on Tackey and Tsubasa. Those two beautiful creatures in their 'TO BE OR NOT TO BE' white tops (on HARUCON04) and leading the pack in singing 'ASOKU... VEEENUS!' (CAMS, you are not the only one hearing 'P*NUS' on this hahahahaha *whacks your ears for being so naughty* hahahaha... ) The OK/OKANE sign is easy to follow but the rest --> @_@ I need to see how they do it on the instructional DVD. I hope that the PV and the instructional thingie are not one and the same. If the PV is the one with TxT surrounded by floating rose petals then it would be too awkward to see them teach us the VENUS hand movements on that. It's like Tackey erodancing with plastic frisbees deshou?! XD I want to see them teach it like they did with 'AI SHITAGARI' on Harucon. Very casual and a bit dorky *lol* If Tackey be wearing his rimmed glasses on that, BETTAH!!! ^__^ The more DORKY he is, the more KAWAII he gets! Back momentarily to the JCountdown, noticed that Tackey was having a hard time picking up his coat on 'ANDALUCIA' hehehehe... ANYWAYS, still on VENUS >>> AVEX seems to have major plans for the launch of this single. TxT GOES INTERNATIONAL! Im going BONKERS knowing that Tackey will be in Macau and HK to promote 'VENUS' on the 18th-20th-nth? Me and some friends were actually planning to fly out this month to unwind but I just talked to ARMI over lunch and learned that plans are for the CHINESE NEW YEAR which falls on the last week of this month. Now, im having a hard time coz if im going, i should start booking tickets now but I don't want to be flying to HK without any idea on where he will be, what he'd exactly be doing there. I know that I've been really impulsive like I did with F4 before when they had a con here on December 26th of 2002, i think. It was a spur of the moment thing but I made sure I know the details. Even made it a point to meet up with my friends very early and spend the whole day queuing in line to get in. AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS SO WRONG~~~ but even though I've been overwhelmed by panic on this Tackey on HK news, I would want to think I've wisen up a bit. I really don't want to rush into it without knowing a thing at all. My rational side says, "NO, LET THIS ONE PASS COZ ASIDE FROM BEING VERY UNPREPARED FOR THIS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO GO AND THE LITTLE MANDARIN YOU KNOW WOULDN'T BE OF ANY HELP AT ALL (I heard most peeps there speaks Cantonese (-_-;;) ). Besides, you have to start saving up for more promisin' TxT encounters." but the rabid fangirl in me says, "THIS COULD BE YOUR CHANCE TO SEE TACKEY!!!!!!! It's just less than an hour travel!!! And it is TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI YO!!!" OHHH, WHAT A FANGIRL TO DO?!!!! Well, I have to think this thoroughly and leave it up to chance whatever decision I'd end up with. May I be guided correctly and as if it happens, IT HAPPENS. Que sera sera!!! ^__^
WOWWWW, I just realized that I've already posted a mouthful XD XD XD It's something to be expected when you put together RL and TxT together hehehe Well, im off now. Will be waiting for further news as I am also curious to see TACKEY's NEW HAIR. He seem to have developed a new way to bring our URUSAI-ness to the next level XDDD As long as you look good TACKEY (and you've never failed me yet!), i will not complain (or atleast try not to V(^_^)V ). Ta--ta--!!!

Moving on, meeting friends for the holidays hasn't stopped yet too. I was able to meet with my balikbayan (naks!) friend ANNE-chan who came all the way from tadaaaahhh--- GUAM! *lol* It was really nice to see her again as she is the walking magnet of all 'untypicals' hahahaha. Yeah ANNE-chan, somehow you attract these untypicals and still stay all cheery after XD MAN, I could never say the same for me. That snake will never see the daylight pronto!!! (of course, id ask somebody to do the dirty job for me *lol* Me scared of snakes ahehe). Suddenly I missed my other friends who have gone overseas... ANJA...TOGS...VIDOT.... and the others. But well, I know we'd see each other some good times again. As for friends who are here, I have to meet up with MEL, ARMI (we had a quick lunch today but forgot to bring her gift...tsk!) and CANDY. I haven't given TALA and SUNNY their gifts yet too. So have to set dates for dinner or lunch or something so I wouldn't be piling belated holiday gifts in my already-packed closet. As for the others, I think I could hand it to them in some opportune time or probably next holidays?! hehehehe
NOW for the fandomworld (and this left me truly dizzy but im asking for more *lol*), Tackey and Tsuba have been really busy during the holiday time. Based from the reports of the lucky ones (who me??? sourgraping??? CHIGAU YO! defensive???? IIE XD) who were able to go to Tackeycon/Tsubacon, I say they both did very, very well. If truth be told, TACKEY, for me and the rest of your fans, you definitely did not lose to Christmas!!! You made it all the more beautiful and wonderful. Looking at the conpix, may I add, you made it COLORFUL too *lol*. Im glad that he was able to get a wonderful feedback from his Osaka and Yokohama cons. Ever first TACKEYCON went real well eventhough there were minor problems with the HIDEZO doll and stuff (BON-chan, please dun kill me. Gomen nasaiiii!). Of course, I will not overlook the part that エロエロダンス is back ne~~~
