It was sort of nice meeting you.
Spoilers did their work on just not hyping it up, but still the final episode was pretty bleh. And Sholly… Sholly has been forever tainted with Jenny’s *disease* LOL. I blame it all on the rumor of Hollywood Ebola. HAHAHA, ‘coz Julz knows that Hollywood Ebola’s disease is so powerful, that even a rumor can infect you.
Anyway, as a goodbye to Sholly, I did a little funny.

Yo~~~~~ I’m pretty sure it’s not March 8th yet in Sweden. In fact, according to my iPod it’s barely 9pm there at the moment, but hey! we’re here to celebrate!! Celebrate that faithful e-mail you sent 3 years ago! Wow, how much you’ve changed and evolved, Julz~~
Truly! Most improved! Remember? You didn’t know how to call avatars, let alone make them~~~ Now! Now you run your OWN website… make graphics, and are all over many things Asian. Very very amazing~~~ you’re Singing in Korean (Colbert joke in here) xD~~~ Of course~~~ singing in Japanese! And you are about to witness Japanese Entertainment industry’s history~~~~
Loca!!!! Happy Friendship-versary!!! LOL’
Rookie? LOL’ I don’t think she’s a ‘rookie’ perse but okay… I’ll take it!
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan has named Yu (in the fields of Media and Fine Arts) their Rookie of the Year Award (Movies).
On why they are giving this award to her, they talk about her debut on the Shunji Iwai film All About Lily Chou Chou, and her steady career throughout the years mentioning Hula Girls. They also mention her work on One Million Yen Girl the past year, as well as her natural talent. Finally, they close their paragraph saying that Yu’s future is expected with much anticipation.
Or something like that…
Also named there in the field of Public Art, Shiina Ringo!!!! Like… Rookie?? Again~~
Sorry, no photos~~
*update March 30th* – Added a photo from Yu’s site.
*update May 20th* – Added a link to video. Check it out after the break…
In light of all those “natalie portman oscar 2009” searches~~ which have been A LOT since yesterday – what’s up with that, by the way? -A Powerful Noise is a documentary following 3 women in Mali, Vietnam, and Bosnia-Herzegovina as they overcome their battles against ignorance, poverty, ethnic strife and oppression.

Well, Lainey did a short post on it;
Sigh.
I love her.
She’s involved, interesting, and interested. She’s smart. She’s sassy. She’s funny. She’s SO beautiful. And there’s a grace about Natalie Portman that is intoxicating.
She also does a brief mention to which I totally agree~~
Please!
Ryan Gosling >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Robert Pattinson.
‘Nuff said.
I never ever really talk about Fashion, since I don’t consider myself fashion~ tees and slacks are my thing~~
So… how do I go about this? Let’s see~~~
Casual Yu is the BEST Yu.
Be it wearing an oversized tee, slacks, baggy shorts, a sweater, a beanie, truck caps~ sure, sure~ most of the pics above are magazine shoots, or photobook pics, and even the seldom movie still~ but there are also 5 candid shots from project sets~~ completely adorable on that Don’t Laugh at my Romance on-set shot with the white/creme beanie. Even that theater-personnel uniform shot is pretty cute.
Now, don’t get me wrong~ modeling Yu is pretty great – I LUV LUV LUVVVV Travel Sand and Dandelion. And I think Yu and Yoko Takahashi should come over to Peru for some great shots in Machu Picchu, and all the many ruins in here~~ plus, loads of food.
However, I prefer seeing Yu all casual and relaxed than Fashionable Yu. You know, the one on the red carpet at some event, or modeling on a photoshoot to some high fashion magazine.
I must admit though, I dig her bangs on the bottom right pic, which I’m pretty sure is a candid from a photoshoot. Crazy bangs, I know… kinda off, but I think works with the pic.
Just for experiment purpose ONLY. Picking nominees during award season is a tough job, considering the people in charge have to sit through hundreds of films in a certain period of time to just pick them… then they probably have to see them once again to refresh their memories and pick a winner.
Even like that, there’s still people upset about not nominated and nominated films… right? You know who you are~~ Stop complaining and do something.
That’s why I wanted to do some experimenting… have our own awards. Well, no~ we don’t have the money to have famous people… or to have a proper ceremony, or to make our own awards to hand out physically. Actually, we have nothing but our will to watch films, comment and try to get others to watch those films, but that will be enough~~ I think.
These would be the rules for films:
Rules for the voters:
Hmm… I think I covered most of all. If I have forgotten to deal with something, let me know on a comment or an e-mail. Also, if you’re interested in becoming a voter, make sure you do the same… e-mail, comment… anything. The more, the better the experiment will run, right?
Okay, if you haven’t read the Quickie one, do so here –
I needed some time to find the setlist, which I couldn’t really find so you’ll have to rely on my memory and how it connects the online videos of the concert. Lucky for you, Wikipedia did a fairly good job… I think.
Here’s the songs that were played:
It’s 4.20am, so quit it. I worked hard to get those photos out as soon as I could… over 700 photos, that were reduced to a little over 600, because 100 shots were awful. I managed to get at least 20% useable photos, some pretty good too~
But you’ll see…
All photos are not public yet, only half… but I’m already tired. They will be made public this afternoon. They are about 145 photos. Low resolution… big enough to post online and share via e-mail. If you do, a link back to amy-wong.com ~~ you’d better do.
For bigger resolution, I mean… RAW files~ or big JPGs, email me~ all contact info needed in the following link with the photos…
Head over here… watch and read.
That one up there is a big stitch… 4 photos into one.
This is a post to help out the friend of a friend… xD
Actually, check here for the details~~~
I would help out, but not in the Toronto, California area~~ maybe you are? or a friend of a friend?
Oh yeah~
BackStreet Boys are finally in Lima. Actually, I just found out – because I was checking in case tomorrow’s concert was canceled… but no, it’s not. I’m excited. xD
But to tell you the truth, apparently not AS excited as some of the fans that went to the airport.
Crazy violent video, eh? Well, the guys are also twittering~~ and here are some of their funny twittering, typos and all~~ from their arrival to Lima.
OMG- Lima, Peru is crazy yo!! Hundreds upon hundreds of you at the airport. Wonder how the rest of the tour is going to stack up! Viva Peru!
Mmmmm…..Pisco Sours! Said in Homer Simpson style- HD + BL
Ceviche Time!! HD, Brock and Nic
Can you believe I’m eating again?? Howie
we are eating Loma Saltado! – (yes, they did type “loma” instead of “lomo”) xD
See… everyone loves eating. Actually, I just had my fair bit of eating~~~ I did Chinese food though… REALLY good nonetheless~~
Anyway, am super excited for the concert. And should be going to bed to BSB music tonight to get in the mood.
