How's Everybody?

Hello! Is anybody home? It's been a year since I wrote something here. So many things happened, not only with the boys but with their company as well. It is very sad that all the artists were dragged in the chaos created by their late president.Anyways, while I am waiting for Arashi's reunion (I'm in the really that they will never get back as a groupAnyways, while I am waiting for Arashi's reunion (I'm in the really that they will never get back as a group) I found my second home.

Tonari no Chikara. Nihonggo Benkyoushimasu!

Shashiburi minna-san! It's been a while since I wrote something in LJ and I am planning to use this space to challenge my knowledge in using Nihonggo. My application on the JET Programme didn't make it to the shortlist. I do not received any email that I passed and get ready for the interview. This is much acceptable than the JFC's notification that you do not hit in any Arashi concert. Maybe the reasons why I didn't make it is because; 1. I didn't disclose in my application that I am currently taking my MA degree in English. All my credentials were from my Bachelor's degree 2. I don't have a conversational skill in Nihonggo. I think they are prioritizing those people who have JLPT Certificate and have the experience going and staying abroad and 3. I sent my application the day before the deadline. And all my requirements were done half-heartedly because I was so pissed off with my current job. Just because of these circumstances I enrolled myself to a proper Nihonggo class while having a full-time job, finishing my MA degree and looking for extra job to fulfill my financial goals.

In the Summer!

Hello everyone! It's been a while!

It's getting  hotter here in Philippines because of the summer season. 

I really want to go to the beach but because of the community quarantine, we have to stay at home. Over and over again!

How many weeks since the hiatus started? I already miss my boys! Though I try to keep up with the works of the other 4 but Arashi is not Arashi when 1 member is missing. 

I still wish for the happiness and freedom of Ohno-san. I hope he enjoy his vacation with the people he loves!

Let us continue to support them!

Yoroshiku!


Budol 2020: Freestyle 2020, Arafes 2020, AEJ, This is Arashi and Old Goods.

It's been a while since I wrote something here on LJ. Well, real life sucks and adulting really demanded most of my time. 

2020 was the last year we went full speed with Arashi, supposedly, because it was their last year with us fans. Everybody was very excited with Arafes 2020 in Kokuritsu and the balloting started around March. But because of Covid-19 restriction, everything was cancelled. 

Many things were being affected by this pandemic most especially our mental state. This was the longest time I stayed at home without any assurance when will this end. So, I distracted myself with everything Arashi can offer to their fans. Since my Japan 2020 plan was cancelled, all the money I saved for this trip was used to buy online contents and merchandises. 

How this started? 

It started when JFC open their online shop for fans and there were items that exclusively for the FC Members. Just like the KITE Album, JFC loves to create different versions of the album which was very hard for the fans because we want to buy everything. So I took the chance, purchased and it was delivered into my aunt house in Chiba. I asked her to ship all my JFC items at once that is why it took months before I received here in the Philippines.

Another purchased was also included in this video. Yatterman and Gantz Visual Book from Janekko Shop, another trusted shop for my Arashi Merchandise. The initial plan is to buy the Gantz visual only but SakuSho has a different charm (excuses duh?!)

Nino's little one.

It's been a while since I write something here on LJ. The last time was a congratulatory message for Nino's marriage. And now as he open a new chapter of his life as father (whether it is true or not). According to some news, Ayako is pregnant and will give birth around spring. This piece of information came from one of her closest friend. I don't know if her friends are just happy to spill it or they just don't know how to respect someone's private life? Well, anything doesn't matter now. 

Well I am honestly happy about this news. Nino having a family, Nino being a father and such. This is their lives and decisions, if these things makes them happy who I am to contradict? 

Tomodachi, Aishteru

Chapter 2

"Megumi-chan! Ohayo!" A warm smile approach me as I walk alone going to school. It is Aiba waving his hand enthusiastically. Among the four boys,  Aiba is the closest friend of Kazu since they are both members of the baseball club. Aiba is cheerful and very kind to any kind of people. He never fails to greet every morning when ever I past to the intersection where his house is near located. "Ohayo Aiba-san" I greeted him back. "Eh? Your hair grow fast Megumi-chan." He pays attention and appreciate those little things around him. Like Kazu he is a totally a childish type, but more evidently. "Eh? Do you think I need to get hair cut?" He pause for a while pretend to think deeply. "Hmmm. Anything suited to Megumi-chan" and gives me his adorable smile. Aside from Kazu, he is the only person I talk to about the things I like and do. Aiba and I both love reading manga that's why we always have so many things to talk to.

Behind of those smiles is the crying baby Aiba. He easily get emotional when ever he watch drama or documentaries about animals. He is the most pure hearted one. He loves shallow and innocent things like a kid who loves to play and trying it out from his curiosity. Aiba is like a soap bubble very fragile but never hate.

"Megumi-chan. How's the new students from your class?" Aiba is pertaining to Mako. Mako is very pretty and smart that's why many girls from our school envy her. She has the sense of leadership and independency. She is very talented and very fluent in speaking English. No wonder why everybody wants to be like her including me.  "She is popular in our class and many boys have a crush on her. Doushta Aiba-san?" I asked.  Aiba's eyes sparkle as if he already discover the cure for cancer. He becomes excited and gives me a grining smile. "Maji de? Eh~ That's why even Nino-chan has a crush on her ne? Sugoi! Mako-san" I stop and and try to reecho what Aiba just have said. "Neen-chan? Has a crush on her?" But before Aiba answer my question, the school bell rang. "I'll be late with my first class! Ja! Matta ne, Megumi-chan!" Aiba run away leaving me standing in place. I cannot move. I cannot breath. It feels like the time had stop. I can feel the coldness of the after rain breeze. I cannot utter a single word. What is thing feeling? Why my heart beat so fast? Why my hands become cold and sweaty? Am I sick? Am I hurt? But why?

Tomodachi, Aishteru.

Chapter  1
                The sky is crying heavily. I can feel the strong breeze of the wind from the outside. I can hear every drop of the rain on the rooftop. I can smell the evaporated fragrant odour of the soil. As I open my eyes, I see the most beautiful creation of God tucked on my chest and sleeping like a lost child. As I look on the clock it is already 6 in the morning. I try to move very slowly not for him to wake up. But he caught me and wraps his arm around my waist even more. “It’s too early” he pleads. His eyes are still close but I can see the smirk on his lips. “I need to cook our breakfast and bento and it’s already 6 in the morning.” I am trying to pull out myself from his arms but Kazu is too strong. He opens his eyes and stares at me with a serious look. “Let’s ditch the class today?” he insists. “Yadda! No one will ditch the class today!” He pout his lips like child. “I will cook burger steak today for our bento. Get up and fix the bed.” Then I see the smile on his face which reflects to his beautiful brown eyes. He extends his arms asking to pull him up. As I grab his hand, he pulls me toward him. He pins me on the bed with his two hands. His face is very near to me and he looks to my eyes as if it is his most favourite one. I close my eyes as his face gets nearer to me. His kiss me, on the forehead. “You are my most favourite best friend ever! Arigatou Megumi-chan.” Then he jumps out of the bed.
           Our mothers were best friends. They have the same likes and hobbies. They studied in the same school. They were both pretty and smart. They have the same life, same dreams and same fate. Kazu and I grew up seeing each other most ever day of our life. Just like our mothers, we share the same school, the same toys, the same foods, and the same house. But one of the same things that we shared the most was the pain and sadness we experienced when both of our mothers die because of a cancer. We only have each other and Kazu serves as my strength to continue in life. I can still remember the face and the smile of the boy who never leaves my side and until now I am seeing that beautiful face every morning in my life.
“Don’t cry. Everything will be fine soon. As long as I am here on your side, I will never let go of your hands.”
           Though we are together most of the time at home, we live in a different life at school. Kazu is the star player in the baseball team. He is also the number one students in our batch and the student’s council president. He is so popular in school and everyone likes him. But me I am just a shadow in Kazu’s school life. No one knows that we live together except his close friends in his class. Ohno, Aiba, Sho, and Jun.
He always departs earlier than me since he needs to do his duties as a student council president and it saddens me that I cannot join in his world outside the house. I always walk alone going to school and going back home. We never walk together since the senior high school.
And I miss those times when we always walk together because he is so afraid that something might happen to me, because there was a time when I was bullied by my classmates during primary grade. I was scared during those times. The only thing that I can do is to cry and to call his name. Then he always came. 
“Don’t cry. Everything will be fine soon. As long as I am here on your side, I will never let go of your hands.”
I remember everything. I remember it vividly.

Happy 34th Birthday and 21st JE Anniversary Ninomiya Kazunari

Belated Happy 34th Birthday to everday motivation and inspiration! Hahahaha. I know this is too much and I know this greetings are kinda too late.

This is just a quick message and after that I am getting back to work since I just sneak a little of time.

I celebrated your day together with my Yama Kaze Family and I had fun with the stories and tokens that we shared. I missed the feeling being out of reality and talk about the things that I truly like. Yeah, it was a short time again since Manila is very far from Rizal that I need to travel for about four hours. And also i need to do some errands regarding with family matter. Your day doesn't end just like that. I re-watched some of your videos and remember the time I got hook with your appearance and talent.

I wish all the best for you just like the wishes of all the other fans. I may not have a video presenatation nor a poem dedicated to you just like my first Ninoversarry, but deep in my heart you are the one who saved and changed me for the better. But sometimes I adapt your brattiness and having a poisonous tongue. Hahahaha. I wish you good health and more projects to come.

No words can expalin how much I adore you.
Again, Otanjoubi Omedetou
Aishteru!

Are You Happy?

Minna! Sashiburi! It's been a long time since I posted something in LJ. Life is so demanding but it doesn't mean I was not able to catch up things. Most especially the most awaited concert!


I was able to watch the first 50 minutes of the concert and my heart keeps on beating fast. These five beautiful boys took my breath away.
