X'mas trip to Japan

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:51:02 GMT

I'M GOING TO GRANRODEO LIVE IN DECEMBER!!

20th - Fukuoka, Drum Logos, Standing C 9x番 (...I wish they had a seating map...)
21st - ???
22nd - ???
23rd - ???
24 & 25th - Tsubasa Live in Osaka
26th - Home

Any suggestion on where to go on 21st-23rd? Recommendations?
I'm running out of ideas...
I've been to Osaka and Kyoto more times than I can count and hit all the even slightly tourisy spots, been on short day trips to Nara, Izumo and Ise.
Since I'll be traveling alone, onsen is sorta out of the question (too shy do it alone...)
Help? Any other interesting place in that area for sight seeing? Anyone there at that time and want to meet up?

Sorta considered going to Saiga Mitsuki's live on the 23rd, but it's all the way over in Yokohama...

L: Change the World

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:06:28 GMT

Finally saw the movie.
L is adorable.
But.. but... but... WATARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII T_T

To be honest the whole plot was a bit cliche, but it was a very enjoyable (...aside from mourning Watari and dreading the inevitable end of 23 days...)

And I think I can finally go and read the second half of the manga, for extremely minor spoileish reason: now that I started liking Near (I know the movie universe diverged from the manga universe ages ago, but whatever XD )

Oh, and thanks for the red envelope, hazuki_katako ^^

Ramblings

Whoa, it has already been one month into the new year?!

Work has been CRAZY lately, a researcher left around Nov. but boss decided not to hire a new one right now = =; And then we are doing audited report for the past two years, so that means hunting down old documents on top of everything else *pulls hair out*
Good thing is tho, I got two months salary as bonus, and a raise for the next year.
Bad thing is... when I told my dad what my new salary is (which, as far as I know, is already higher than all my highschool/college friends that I kept in touch with), he was like "... as long as you're happy with that" = =; he thinks I should be on a career path to be an executive or something... *sigh* hate to disappoint, but I don't think I'm cut out for that.

On a happier (?) note, saw Sweeney Todd at the cinema yesterday, loved it, tho I missed the parts that they took out (esp the "we've got tinker", "something pinker", "tailor?", "paler", "butler!", "subtler" bit xD) but it was beau~tiful~ anyway XD

Getting dragged to China for vacation next week, it's bloody cold there right now tho', I'm half hoping the tour would get cancelled, or if it doesn't, I pray we don't get stuck there for a week because of bad weather.

Merry Christmas~~~~

Back

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 03:20:26 GMT

Is alive.
Did manage to fly out on Friday.
Rained the whole time when Yocchin was in TW, and stopped as soon as he left XDDD
But we had fun.
Yocchin was as good looking in person as he is on photos, and cute, and very very kind.
More later, probably.

Shit...

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 06:57:23 GMT

Typhoon #8 in HK.
There's a chance I can't fly out tonight...
There's a chance Yocchin can't land in Taiwan tomorrow @@; (my friend in TW says there's a possibility of typhoon there too)

Went to watch the movie on Saturday night.

There are two things I liked about it (and this doesn't even need a spoiler tag!):
- Luna

(okay, and Umbridge was spot-on, but it's hard to say you "like" Umbridge...)

The rest? D:

Went and did a spreadsheet to calculate the fees rate last night, in case anyone needs it for future reference.
Final numbers based in HKD, but you can always change the exchange rate thing at the top, won't be useful for things under certain numbers tho, since I only used the relevant fees rate. The top two places there are companies in HK that doesn't do overseas business, but if you are in HK and need their contacts, let me know~

I *might* possibly have found a friend of a friend who can help me, she is going to decide and let me know today.. *crosses fingers*

-----
OT, stole (ok... bothered her into letting me post over the phone) from my friend, DTB and Oofuri page from Animedia July. (scanned by Mikage, Please don't repost as it, but feel free to make icons/whatever~)

I've never seen anyone so out of place with an inner tube XDDDD

Mihashi = <3

Rinkya?

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 05:01:33 GMT

Hm, I'm most likely going to need to bid on something rather expensive on Yahoo Japan (like, between 30k to 60k yen, multiplied by 2 or 3 type of expensive).

Looking at proxy auctioning sites, and the only one I remember seeing anyone mentioning is Rinkya.
Does anyone know if they are reliable?
And I seems to understand from the site that they have a flat rate price ceiling of US$40 (I'm a bit confused by the fees page, actually) is that so?

And, anyone know of other reliable sites with similar services? Or, to people living in Japan. If I post you the money in advance, would you be willing to help me with buying stuff from Yahoo Auctions? (will of course be paying for all expenses involved and for your time)
-------
Thanks a lot, everybody ♥♥♥

I'll check out shoppingmalljapan.com, www.japamart.com and Crescent Trading once I get home tonight and see which is more suitable ^^

Thanks again *chu and huggles all*

Wed, 04 Jul 2007 01:02:03 GMT

Shopping list before I forget:

Yocchin in Taiwan

Mon, 02 Jul 2007 05:25:29 GMT

Those who will be in Taipei on August 12th and wants a chance to see Yoshino-kun can buy the signing package here: http://buy.gamer.com.tw/atmItem.php?sn=3437 now~
The package cost NT 888, it contains DVD vol2, bunch of Kekkaishi goods, and the right to participate in the signing event on Aug 12th.
They're only selling 150 packages of it tho, so be quick.

And you'll need someone living in Taiwan to lend you their address since they'll post the goods on Aug 3rd.

OMG DONE

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:36:50 GMT

Sorta kinda done with the last-minute-pre-tax-return-paper-scrabbling thing...
Lost a lot of bills and invoices in the last year ||| I hope the accountant won't kill me for it T_T
Free to.... catch up with the pile of work from the past week or so now *sigh*

Why hasn't any travel agents get back to me about the flight to Osaka in Aug? I've emailed 3 people and all they did was send me a "thanks for the email, we'll get back to you as soon as possible" response. And that included the agent we used for the company, who has replied to my other emails about other company related flight just this week = =;

Btw, I keep forgetting to mention, on Yuukyan's blog, there's a photo of a drawing of Abe-kun and Tajima-kun (and tiny Mihashi and Momokan and whatever) by Higuchi-sensei, from the party celebrating the Kodansha award ^^

In other news, saw S.Beast DVD the other day with friends, almost died laughing...

nice night again

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 13:10:59 GMT

While my camera is still at large (...it disappears for weeks at time some days...), lets try to do the photos meme:
Name up to three aspects of my life you want me to photograph. They can be specific (my bedroom), or not so specific (something red).
(I'll post tomorrow with pictues requested)

'twas a clear night

Sat, 23 Jun 2007 19:07:40 GMT

Came home last night and saw this:
ran into my room and grabbed camera, I think my family thinks I'm mad...

Haven't updated much lately... been super busy lately, tax return season, and I've been misplacing various invoices for the company in the past year = =;
and then there's 5 projects going on *sigh*

*goes back to pretending to be dead*

hm...

Mon, 18 Jun 2007 00:56:08 GMT

For the record, I've finally gave in and read all the Oofuri manga so far last night (was gonna just watch the anime).
I don't think I've went *kawaiii* so many times in one night before XDDD

In other news, happy father's day~
*is broke after buying that suit for dad*

ps. a junk mail just got thru the Gmail filter with the subject "Oblivious Cabbage" @@;;;

Alarm clock that hides XDDD

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 02:11:48 GMT

OMG I WANT THIS!!!

"The alarm clock that runs away and hides when you don't wake up."
"Can jump from up to 3 feet"

Is it wrong that I really really want it for a pet now? XDD
