I'm still on a 'Best Artist high' because of Arashi's heart-thumping performance last night.  Thus, I can't help myself but relate everything to Arashi.

Even something as trivial as this.  My ex-colleague dropped by the office yesterday and gave us her Christmas presents.  Among many others, she gave me a clip which looks like a telephone cord and plans to completely give me all the Arashi colors because she knows that I love the guys to bits.  Plus, she likes Nino too because according to her, he's got the attitude!  Gotta love my friend for saying that. :)

Hopefully, I'll be able to get the five clips so that I can wear all the colors each week.  With that in mind, I can sing along to..."Together, together, oh happy on the rainbow!" XD

It has indeed been a great year...1999, that is.

I've become reminiscent now that 2009 is about to end.  I was thinking how great this year has been to Arashi, if not the greatest, in their years in the business since their debut in 1999.  Out of the blue, I suddenly remembered Takki and Majo no Jouken, which also had a 1999 broadcast.  Majo no Jouken was the first Japanese drama I've watched ever and Takki was the first Japanese actor I had a crush on.  I guess, if not for Takki, I wouldn't have known Arashi.  And the rest as they say is history.  

1999 is truly one for the books (at least in my book). ^__^

I was going to post this last Friday as an addition to my Ohno's birthday entry but work took most of my time.  Now, I can finally sit down and write a proper entry.

I requested a colleague and a friend of mine to draw Rida fishing.  I gave her the basic physical characteristics of Ohno and here's what she came up with...

This drawing totally brightened up my day.  I love love love it!  Thanks Cesca! ♥

Rida is fishing!

Happy Birthday, Rida

Dearest Rida,

May you NEVER...EVER change.  Accompanying the image in this post are the lyrics to Kevyn Lettau's "Sunlight" which is apt for everyone who gets a piece of inspiration from this truly talented man. 

"He's my laughter, my lover, my life...He's my sunlight."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  May you have a good one today. :)

I wish that the respective Arashi colors would be represented by their mugs during their Utaban guesting.  But it was only Sho, Aiba and Nino (though it was more on the orange side) who had their colors correctly paired with their mugs.  Don't mind me, it's just my OC-ness kicking in. XD

INXS:  Another snippet.  There's a Pinoy Big Brother version currently aired on one of our local TV stations.  A PBB housemate who came from Japan uttered "dakara" on national TV and that made me smile.  Little things do make me tremendously happy. *winks*

...in his new Super Mario Bros. Wii CM just made my afternoon. 

No, it made my weekend! 

No, it had already made the start of next week better!  Haha! XD

Happy weekend, everyone!

...when Ohno held the frame containing the picture of their mother, my tears simply fell.  Every moment with each member in this PV made me cry.  I just love everything about it!

My Girl

From the bottom of my heart that unconditionally and unquestionably loves all five of you.  Ten years never looked this good and I'll still be counting on the days that I will be continuously supporting you. 

Thanks for making my life a mirage of red, blue, green, yellow and purple goodness! ^__^

This is one of those moments wherein fellow fangirls would understand while the rest would find it trivial or insignificant.  I found out something today and it made me smile.

A few years back, I was always in correspondence with this individual when we had events.  This person that I would meet with was a very nice lady and we would often have coffee to discuss those projects.  But I switched jobs and I never got to talk to her in-depth again.  Though we would bump into each other in certain places and say hi.

Zoom in to the present.  While I was surfing last night, I came across an article about her which listed her educational status and guess where she graduated from college?  You guessed it right...Keio University!  Since I became an Arashi fan, I never thought that I would meet someone from Keio.  But all these years, I actually know someone and it just popped out when you least expect it.

INXS:  Still downloading!  But it's pure and unadulterated happiness so all is good. XD

...yesterday was the arrival of the 5 x 10 All The Best! DVD! ^___^

CDJapan is so efficient!  My family kept it as a secret because I was badgering them by texting the whole day to send me an SMS message the moment the package would arrive at our doorstep.  I never heard from my aunt who was at home that time.  Imagine the incredulous look on my face when I opened the door to my room after arriving last night from work and there it was...the DVDs!  They told me that it arrived in the morning.  I just love CDJapan!

By the way, the second disc is pink!  So cute!  And you'll be surprised when you watch the videos. *winks*
