  • Casual Yu > Fashion Yu

    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.

    Casual Yu Aoi

    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.

  • Full BackStreet Boys Unbreakable Concert Review

    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:

    1. Larger than Life/Everyone/Any Other Way
    2. You Can Let Go/Unmistakable/I Want it that Way
    3. She’s like the Sun – Howie’s Solo
    4. Show me the Meaning of Being Lonely
    5. More than That
    6. Spanish Eyes
    7. Trouble Is
    8. Incomplete
    9. Drive by Love – AJ’s Solo
    10. Panic
    11. Blow your Mind/I Got You – Nick’s Solo
    12. Quit Playin’ Games (With my Heart)/As Long as You Love Me/All I Have to Give
    13. Nunca te Hare Llorar/I’ll Never Break your Heart
    14. Inconsolable
    15. Welcome Come – Brian’s Solo
    16. The One/Treat me Right/The Call
    17. Everybody
    18. Shape of my Heart (Encore)

  • BSB Unbreakable Latin America Photos!

    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.

  • Photographer in/around Toronto, CA?

    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?

  • Oscar Winners and Moments

    Oh, Hugh… what happened to thee~~

    But that’s another subject~~ It’s not like I despised Beyonce, and the Disney people on ‘my’ stage. I didn’t like them, that’s all. LOL’

    It’s not like their Moulin Rouge number was totally unnecesary, instead they should have performed the Original Songs separately… and NOT have John Legend trying to butt in Jai Ho. On that subject, the drums… VERY COOL.

    Natalie Portman… hot. + Ben Stiller doing Joaquin Phoenix??? Just OH!-Some~~~

    Natalie Portman and Ben Stiller - Oscar 2009

    What else is cool (though mildly surprising…) – JAPAN WINNING, not ONE BUT TWO!!! For Best Short Film Animated – which was great – but also getting FOREIGN FILM, when I so totally thought Waltz with Bashir would win. Okuribito (Departures) took back home Foreign Film~~ I totally FLIPPED.

    Other cool moments… Best Actress. GOSH! Sophia Loren… Shirley MacLaine… Marion Cotillard (My Marion, OUR Marion), Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman. AND! Kate Winslet winning! Introduced by Marion! And Sophia Loren with her accent… introducing the fab+++ Meryl! I’d die for an intro of any of those two.

    Actually, that was my favorite category of the night, haha. I’m glad for Best Actor… and Supporting Actress~~~ Penelope!! I have to update an old post on Oscar Studded Films~~~

    And Tina Fey!! She was funny~~ as James Franco was.

    I think I did pretty good on predictions (20/24) … I hope no one did better than me in the contest I entered hahaha.

    Slumdog took 8, while Button took 3, Milk 2, Dark Knight 2 – the rest, if not mistaken took 1. xD

    Winners and more photos below the break~~

  • My Debut Album

    LOL’ – Before this post, a quick reminder! 2hrs. left for Indie Spirits! – Will be blogging~~

    Okay, moving on…

    To Do This

    1. Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random”
    The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

    2. Go to “Random quotations”
    The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

    3. Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
    Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

    4. Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

    5. Post it to FB with this text in the “caption” and TAG the friends you want to join in.
    (You can untag yourself if you don’t want this photo up).

    Here’s my result!

  • GuGu the Cat!

    It arrived yesterday ^o^  !!!

    I actually celebrated my b-day last night with a proper meal, and apparently my last YesAsia order. Belated Happy Bday to me!!! And happy 5 year blogging~~~ xD

    My first EVER Japanese DVD – all because it listed ‘English subtitles’. I just couldn’t help myself.

    Gu~ Gu~ Datte Neko de Aru, which was translated to GuGu the Cat, was not the movie I was expecting – in a good way. I think I had only seen a short clip of the film, perhaps the 30 second tv spot, where they open the box, GuGu shows up and they all go “kawaiiiiiiiiiiii”. So I thought the film was a comedy, but just like some other WOWOW projects I’ve seen, they border on the dramedy field (like Camouflage, 1 Million Yen Girl, and Don’t Laugh at my Romance).

    – See, WOWOW people~~~ if you’d release those mentioned above with subs, I’d probably buy them. –

    In GuGu, Asako Kojima (Kyoko Koizumi) is a manga artist who hasn’t had much time for life, other than taking care of her pet cat Ça Va and seldomly writing and drawing for her manga series alongside her team of assistants, including Naomi (Juri Ueno), a fervent fan since her teen years.

    There’s a lot of fun moments… sometimes dealing with romantic relationships, and overall human relations… as well as some cat relationships xD – so if you like cats, you can probably enjoy this one.

  • Sunny Day with the Family~

    … and talking about tonight’s food. Because it’s still Chinese New Year, and still I haven’t had dinner. xD

    You know, I almost never blog personal life in this blog anymore. And I actually reconsidered posting these photos that I’m about to post after the break.

    Today was a surprisingly nice~ went to Cieneguilla because cousin wanted to, so we all went. I was listening to Miyavi, while he drove… and I considered watching Chiyo (the first ever short film I’ve bought on iTunes) but turns out the widescreen doesn’t translate to my iPod, so it was pretty cropped. Especially during the introduction, all the text on the borders couldn’t be read.

    ANYWAY! We arrived early, and ordered food early because we always starve to death wherever we go~ and luckily we ordered early because the food took forever to get made, and it was ‘ok’ xD – I know I said it was surprisingly nice, and my re-telling doesn’t sound like it…
