Yup~ Felices fiestas! xD Que viva el Peru, and the whole shebang~

Brace yourselves for some marching tomorrow, and prepare your illegally bought movies ‘coz many won’t be too fond of national TV xD

My jaw hurts, so I won’t be eating anything hard to chew. I’m beginning to hate doctors… my jaw hurts worse that it used to. It blows. Clean ears, my ass.

Also, YesAsia blows. I need to bent! Keep your fingers crossed for the next five days so they can at least find Dandelion… because Dandelion is oh-so-pretty-a-book. And I need to have it.

I know I said I wasn’t gonna post any proper scans of the book, but since I wanted to make a new wallpaper with one of my fave photos in the book, I thought it would be good to tease all of you. xD I want that beanie, does any of you know where to get one?? I told my mom that’s her knitting style, but she claims she doesn’t have any idea how to knit a beanie, she said she can maybe make a scarf like that and wrap it around. LOL

Aoi Yu - Travel Sand scan

Photo is not complete because I had to crop the shadow that appears from scanning too close to the spine of it. It is a pretty decent sized scan… the wallpaper is 1680×1050, but I’ve also got a fullscreen one sized 1280×1024, in case you want one… though I haven’t posted it. Original scan filesize is 5Mb. xD

**EDIT**
If anyone knows where can I get this beanie/tuque/toque, let me know! In the meantime, if you want to buy one of the caps that appear on the photoshoot:

Do You Know Your Asians?

Lainey does not have a grandma named Mrs. Wong.

See, even us Asians can’t tell their Asians apart. As I said in the last post, it was the 16th anniversary of the restaurant. We went to eat meat… loads of meat, which was also bad for my jaw.

Anyway, it was a big ass table, so I sat next to my cousin. We got to talking about school, music, economy, eco solutions, and stupid people, among other topics, like Japanese, Korean and Chinese. I told them it was getting harder to tell each apart because everyone is getting a slicker style. However, my cousin was proud to admit that he could tell them apart, which I refused to believe~~

I asked him once again, Continue Reading…

Not really a rant, but weird stuff that don’t happen often have been happening. Well, a couple of weeks ago, maybe two weeks….? I was preparing to eat my Banana Nut Crunch cereal, so I was getting my milk ready on the bowl when *LE GASP* There was a worm in my milk O_O Tiny white worm, I’m such a girl sometimes, I totally freak out. LOL’ More like I get icky, you know…. My mom and I thought it might be the milk, so we threw it all…

Last night, i was watching a Natgeo special on bugs that live in our house and we don’t even notice. Even watching that make me go all itchy, to which my mom replied “Why do you watch then?” x’D Where else can I see a red-eye humongous fly without trying to chase it with the flyswap?

Anyway, later… like at 1am, I went to the kitchen to finish with the rest of the mandarin juice, and when I was pouring that into a glass, I saw another freaky white worm climbing up the wall. I totally mute-freaked xD, my mom was asleep already so I couldn’t wake her up, so I got rid of it… totally made the back of my neck all funny.

Well… now, today! I was totally sitting on the kitchen preparing a new bowl of Banana Nut Crunch, I poured the milk on the bowl and was about to open the box of cereal when I feel something brushing my arm really fast… u know, like the feeling of a leaf that has just fallen from a tree?? Just like that. So I went WTF O_o, I moved around to check the floor, AND THERE IT WAS! A tiny white worm wobbling on the floor… totally lost it! LOL Just thinking about it makes me icky… So WTF, mom and I haven’t found the ‘source’ of this white worm outbreak.

On other crappy news… well, the morning after I went out with my friends, I woke up with a terrible ear sore. It was not outside, nor inside… like somewhere in the middle, but it only bugged me when I opened my mouth. As the young adult that I am, I shrugged it off. LOL’ So I went about my day thinking it will clear off. I woke up on Monday having the same ear sore, and a bit more intensified, so I told my mom and she told me that if it hurt in the morning of Tuesday, that we should visit the doctor.

So we went about our day, had dinner with everyone for the restaurant’s 16th anniversary, and went back home… when I woke up, the same thing with my ear, SO today I visited the doctor. He checked my ears, my throat and nose for any sort of flu/allergy kinda thing. LOL, he told me my ears are WAY too clean… cleaner than average. LOL’ and that my sore on the left ear might be because of a jaw inflammation. He asked me if I had eaten anything hard to chew… or chewed gum. When I told him I didn’t, he thought maybe I had yawned a ‘power yawn’ LOL and it sort of moved from its place!

He gave me some pills to reduce inflamation, so let’s see how that goes. In the meantime, gotta keep those yawns in check xD

OMG, I’ve got it!! I’ve GOT IT!! On the mail today. Pretty photos *drools* Now I am ready to recommend where I bought this one. If you’ve been following… I blogged Photobooks at the beginning of the month…. I only lasted three days before I hit clicked and bought. LOL I mentioned I had purchased Travel Sand from another online store other than YesAsia.com – Well, I placed the order on July 6th (Paid with Paypal) and by July 14th I received confirmation that the book was on the way =D

So… beNippon.com is good. A bit on the pricey side, but good~ In case you don’t find an item, and you find it there… the site was prompt, and un-insured item made it to Peru. Now you know…

Well, TODAY was the day!!! I got it on the mail. Instant LOVE! I love it when it feels like Christmas when it’s not Christmas… actually, Christmas doesn’t feel as good.

Yu Aoi - Travel Sand Photobook

Now, I’m posting a few photos of the photos (just so you can feel the texture of the photo on this paper)… sorry guys, but my scanner won’t do good with this book. Continue Reading…

I had heard about the Nikkan awards of some sort, which are supposedly based on popularity… and well, I don’t feel up to typing the list of winners, so I’ll be linking to this lovely post that does and even lists the number of votes.

Last Friends didn’t win for Best Drama… that’s sadness. And I was sorry that Eita didn’t win~~ I mean, no offense to Ryo and his Sousuke… but *sighs* Takeru~~

I also understand Juri Ueno wining Best Supporting Actress, though she deserved a Best Actress. LOL’ xD I mean, did any of you watched LF for Michiru??? Really??? Cross your heart on that?? And poor Asami Mizukawa… she was supporting of the supporting~~ *sighs* this world is upside down, I tell you!!!!

I always browse around the web, and I’ve bought some niftyness over the past years. Today I met up with Diana, who gave me a belated b-day. Even more belated than Julyssa’s Greta Garbo Book. And YAY!

Dianisha gave Amy a belated b-day clock. His name is Bob… Continue Reading…

Over a year ago, I wrote a lengthy post on downloading stuff with P2P or torrents, as well as legal downloads. In that post I mention I only had 2 legal downloaded albums from iTunes (Canada), and yes… now I probably got a few more (I got two more just a couple of weeks ago), and AM still waiting for Amazon MP3 to go international… is it offering this service already?? I must test for my next digital purchase.

**EDIT**
Amazon MP3 is still NOT international.

Anyway~ do you buy music? Do you support your favorite artist? Continue Reading…

Back in 2003 (yeah, most likely that year), I found a group called The Sunwater Diaries… It must’ve been between 2003 and 2004 because I was a fresh student of web stuff, I remember. It’s also because I wrote the group an email a couple of times… I wanted to work with them on a website, and I also wanted to get the lyrics to their song. They had two songs online, and I remember I downloaded it for free on a site that is no longer online (I think it was Vitaminic or something like that) – and then The Sunwater Diaries went *POOF*. E-mails began bouncing, and their sites went down.

You see, The Sunwater Diaries was a Canadian duo… his name’s Derek McKinley (yes, luckily I didn’t lose all emails), and her name’s Beth Henderson. Yes, Henderson… she’s sisters with Meredith Henderson, and that’s how I found them. Problem with that? LOL’
