Upps!
I swear, I'm never gon' buy another male magazine myself again! T.T
Since I'm in the whole styling thing, and I've been doing female styling, a sudden random thought pop into my head a couple of days ago.
'Hey, why can't I style for men too?!' me happily thought. But seeing I have very little experience in men's fashion, I thought I should study how others style before I even think about it myself. and so, I headed into 'times', and after grabbing myself a Vogue Britain, I headed over to the 'Men's interest' section(which by the way, was really weird, because everyone standing there are men!) because apparently, Men's fashion doesn't count as 'Fashion and Style' since its not in that section lor. -_-
Anyways, I stoned at the section for a good 30 seconds to identify where are the fashion magazines, because apparently, men are interested in business, technology, women, food, current affairs, women, health, vehicles; have I mention women?
So, after identifying very unsuccessfully, I figured I better pretend to be browsing rather than just stoning there like a effing moron, right? so I grab a book at random(It has some men in suit on the cover page so I assume it was a Fashion magazine) and starting opening random pages of the book. *flip flip flip*(more like turning the pages since I wasn't actually reading. LOL) then I saw a heading of a article that says 'How To Get Your Women In Insert-Random-Number-Cuz-I-Can't-Remember Days'.
Ok, so that isn't really odd, because in women's magazines, we get 'How To Get Your Men In 7 Days' or something along that line, but please bear in mind who's the one holding this magazine.
So naturally, I closed the book, and as I made to put it back on the shelf, I caught a glimpse of a couple of the words of the titles on the cover page. Bedroom. Sex. Women.
'Ohhhhh....' I thought. Now I get why this salaryman standing next to me was giving me weird stares.
Talk about embarassment.
I eventually got a Men's fashion magazine though. Style Men. HAHAHA. You can't go wrong with that. There's another one though, but I was too effing short to reach it. I was groping away, and I still can't reach it. What the..
Talk about double embarassment.
Having said that, I also discovered a postcard in the Vogue Britain. At first, I saw the words 'Spearmint Bubble Gum. POP ME' and 'YUMMY!', I thought, 'Hey, some new candy?'
When I came home and unwrap the plastic and took a GOOD look at the postcard. Here's what it says 'NEW! EDIBLE BODY CREAM. Spearmint. Bubble Gum. POP ME. YUMMY!'
Here's what I missed out. 'Strictly 18 and Above. MAGIC INGREDIENT! BEST FOR XXX & XXXX!' with the tiny words 'In collaboration with Calvin Klein Underwear at the bottom of the card, and it has a 'Strip' Ministry of Waxing picture on it.
I'm sure you're getting the gist of what it is by now.
If you haven't, here's what written on the back. 'INSTRUCTIONS:fOR LOADS AND LOADS OF COUPLE BEDROOM FUN, DIP INTO OUR EDIBLE BODY CREAM TO MAKE DELECTABLE PARTS EVEN MORE DELICIOUS.'
Geddit? -____-
Talk about getting my hopes up. I thought it's a advertisment for a new type of candy.
Having said that, who the hell wants to eat body cream, I wonder? Spearmint flavor to boot. Can you say eww(think, eating toothpaste as it is man!)? Maybe chocolate or strawberry would be better. Then again, who wants to eat loads of cream, regardless of flavor? It's as bad as edible underwears. LOL.
Right. Last Saturday was my 2nd photoshoot with Melissa, and she was utterly hilarious when we're heading home. Definately the true, blue meaning of a 'complain queen'. LOL. First she complained about how her new shoes hurt and that she haven't bite(yes, she meant it literally) it yet, then she complained about how dark it was and she cannot recognised the way so I better remember it, then she complained about how tall the steps were, then she complained about her heels and stairs were not meant to go together. HAHAHA.
The whole time I was laughing/giggling like an idiot myself too, mainly cuz she was complaining about something the whole 15 minutes I was walking with her, and also cuz she look super awkward walking down the stairs in heels, like her leg couldn't straighten or something. LMAOS.
What a ticklish night. (:

Protege Moi
I.. was packing my stuff.. and I.. stumbled across my stampbook, where I keep all my neoprints(neoprints are those sticker pictures that hailed from Japan and was the fad many, many years ago, in case you've forgotten)..
I laughed.. and then I sighed. 'What happened?' I asked myself.
In the pictures, I see a girl. A girl that smiles so happily in every single picture(excluding the ones when I AM suppose to act cool/angry. blah). A girl that is warm and loves to hang onto her friends(and hug them, it seems).
I looked into the mirror, and I see someone that couldn't even crack a smile without looking like she's constipated. I see someone that acts somewhat standoffish to some people. I see someone that holds everyone else at arms length.
Is this how growing up is like?
Nah. Probably not.
Hah. I know the reasons for the change, and yet I question why. What a joke.
The reason. Two individuals, one after another.
The day I cut myself away from the first, it was the last time I cried, for another.. or at all.
The day I cut myself away from the second, the 'I' started retreating somewhere within, and I surface. I wonder when the former will reappear again, huh?
I don't even know if I should feel resentful. Haha.
Maybe I shouldn't, since I'm perfectly happy with the way I am now.
Nevertheless. Hello, you there within, I miss you, and I hope to see you again, soon. (:

Panorama
The ending theme song for the anime 'Gakuen Heaven'. I love LOVE LOVE LOVE this song~ I listen to it once and I was in love.
Speaking of which, 'Gakuen Heaven' is good. It's Shounen-ai though, so not for the homophobics. HAHA. However, the anime is so full of love, friendship, and promises, that I didn't even realise it's Shounen-ai until right at the end of the last episode when they kissed. AH WELLLLL. STILL NICE THOUGH.
Red-Romanji
Green-English translated(I copied it off the video, but since the ending theme ends halfway through the song. I had to do the rest myself)
Purple-Self-Translated(Meaning it probably isn't very accurate. HAHAHA)
'Panorama' by Masaaki Fujioka.
Kawazoi o aruku haru no yuuhodou
walking along the river, a spring promenade
kaze ni yureru yokogao nani omou no?
your profile trembles in the wind. what are you thinking of?
tama ni sabishisou ni kuchibiru kamu shigusa
you have a habit sometimes of biting your lips, looking lonely
boku wa itsudemo kimi dake matteru
i'm always waiting, only for you
shiranai furi o shite boku o umaku kawashite
pretending like you don't know, deftly turning me aside
mienai garasu no kabe ni kakurete shimau
you hide behind an invisible wall
yoru no panorama boku no koto dake sagashite
the night panorama, just come searching for me
jikan o tomete ne warattekure yo
stop time, and please, smile for me
sotto kono mama uso demo ii yo kamawanai
softly, just like this, i don't care if it's all a lie
asufaruto ni nokoru kimi to boku dake no kioku
memories that belong only to you and me, left on the asphalt.
---
fumidasu yuuki boku ni attanara
booast me up in my courage
sunao ni kono kimochi tsutaeraretakana
to be honest in this feelings that i want to convey
houkago no kimi ga mabushi sugiru kara
the you, from after school is dazzling to pass by
tojikometa koe kobore sou ni naru
the sealed up voices nearly overflows
kimi wa itsumo no mama aru hazu no nai telepathy
you are like as always, telepathy that doesn't exist
hodokete mo inai kutsuhimo musubi naoshita
shoelaces that aren't even undone, re-tie it again please
sora o miagete nijinda hoshi o tsunaide
Admire the sky's blur stars that don't connect
negai o komete ne futarikiri de
The wish to include just the two of them
marude maboroshi sore demo ii yo kamawanai
I don't care if that is an illusion
shingo ga kawaru made wa kimi o boku dake ni misete
until, before the light changes, show me the you only to me
yoru no panorama boku no koto dake sagashite
the night panorama, just come searching for me
jikan o tomete ne warattekure yo
stop time, and please, smile for me
zutto kono mama yume demo ii yo kamawanai
Sometimes it is ok even if this dream continues
mata ashita no owari ni ashi o tomete me o tojita
again, at the end of tomorrow, stop the legs and close the eyes
love LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE~!!

VK.
I've checked out a couple of bands which I never actually listen to any of their songs before, just because..
Before that, this is my highly raved 銀色灰塵(Silver Ash), which I'm rapidly falling deeply in love with by the minute. LOL. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Have I ever post the mv of the song which I absolutely love? Don't care, post again. HAHA!
Matenrou Opera. Awesome. Fairly new band too. Formed in 2007, but still really good. Somehow, feels like a cross between Malice Mizer and Versailles. =/.
Vidoll is old old la, but I've no idea why it took me so long to listen to them since I've heard of them since I-don't-know-when.
Dolly. Not really new band, but never hear before. As gay as their name may sound, they really aren't bad at all. HAHA~
176Biz. I am completely befuddled about how the heck they come up with a name like this. I was under the impression that it's a relatively new band, but apparently they have ALREADY disbanded after their March 16th oneman-tour. What? That's really too bad, I quite like their songs.
Megaromania. I listened to them in the past and didn't really like it, but to be fair, I was a little bias then cuz I thought they look like Phantasmagoria, so i gave it another go, and guess what? I still didn't really like them much. LOL.. Not because of bad music though, because its not what I like to listen to. Don't know why their music reminds me of Deathgaze. -.-"
Pierrot. Disbanded as well. =.=. This one quite nice. So quite sad. lol.
Ayabie. Everyone knows them. Enough said.
SID. Not crazy in love. but not bad.
Mix Speaker's Inc. I don't really like their music, but I love their outlook, and I don't think I need explain why ah. They are completely insane,the new Psycho Le Cemu? LOL.
You might need to brace yourself before you click 'play'. lol.
Pyscho Le Cemu. Weird outlook, They look like cheap versions of Chun Li, Pharaoh, and pokemon. LOL. Good music though. what a strange combination.
This video is even weirder than the one from Mix Speaker's Inc. -.-"
Novelis. Listen to them off and on, and still definately not on my favourite's list. Apparently they've disbanded as well. =/. No favourites from Novelis, and they don't have any PV anyway, so skipped! (:
Shoujo Lolita23q, another name which I CANNOT imagine come from which planet, Not too bad, not too outstanding. LOL.
And my new favourite(okay. not really, but you know, the best out of the new ones I've listened) Aicle~!!!! Mucho love!!!! Bao deemed them too psychedelic, too emo and TOO GAY(ya with caps) but I still really like them. (: I think it's pretty obvious judging from the number of pictures I put of them. LOL.
Same la. Another super Oshare. OSHARE OSHARE OSHARE. =D
AND AND AND. SUG~!! LOL. So they're not a new band. So I've talked about them before. But because I love them deep deep, so here they are again. LOL. I showed bao their new pv and she decided that she's going to 'rip claris fishball apart'. Sighs. LOLLL.
I guess you can get a feel of what the PV would be like judging from the picture, sooo... not for the weak hearted/colors/cheery-haters. LOL.

It's offical. Once again;
Takamasa Ishihara. Omedetou. (((:
On two things.
1, your graduation from the company as well as the establishment of your own. J-glam inc.
2, your marriage(which was concealed so well until most recently. LOL) as well as your journey to fatherhood(July!) and setting up your own household.
Looking back when you sung 'shindemo boogie-woogie', 'rock no gyakushuu' or 'kimi ni negai wo' or even further back, 'jisatsu ganbou' or 'meikyou shisui' in Due Le Quartz, really wow. That's really been in the past man. haha~
***If you haven't already realised(or simply have a nagging suspicion. HAHA) I AM talking about -drumrolls-
MIYAVI
AND PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME IF I AM SAD, BECAUSE THERE ARE ALREADY 3 PEOPLE THAT HAD THIS EXACT CONVERSATION WITH ME;
Me: Miyavi is married, and going to have a baby sometime this year
Person: Awww, you feel sad?
Me: -_-
I AM FREAKING HELL NOT SAD AT ALL CAN OMG. LOL. What makes you think I'll be sad anyway? =/. Why I can't be happy for him meh? LOL. The next thing I need to find out is when Joey Jordison is going to get married. LOL!
His spouse is Miyuki Melody Ishikawa. I'm not even joking about how freaky their names are alike. His name is Miyavi Takamasa Ishihara. See the likeliness?
Having said that.
Please check out this cute-and-colorful-as-hell kimono. LIKE OMG. THERE'S A FREAKING SMILEY FACE NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE KIMONO HAHA!
As I've said, I've taken a strange liking with kimonos recently.
Also, I'm obsessed with all things glittery/golden/sliver/shiny/patent, and have been constantly trying to refrain myself from buying things that has a characteristic of the above.
I've taken to watching Inuyasha again. (no)thanks to Jessica cuz she mentioned it last night. TSK TSK. OH WELL. I'm heading off to watch it now. HAHA!

Jumble Rumble!
2009 seems to be the year of many changes for Miyavi, but seriously;
The regrowth of his black hair, I could live with.
BUT WHAT IS UP WITH THE ONSET OF PINK OVERLOAD AND THE FLOWERY-AH-MA-LOOKING STYLE LEGGINGS ?!!?! OMFG. O.o CHANGE STYLIST MAN.
Is that like his new take on orientalism, because if that's so, I much prefer the old version. HAHA!
and I think he's hotter with piercings. =D Somehow, without it makes him look.. gay-er. -_- and I don't mean it in a good-gay-way.
He still has awesome jackets though. Haven't seen a coat/jacket/hoodie that he wears and I don't like. (Except for the pink one in 2nd picture. -_- Hell. I hate that whole attire. It's pink and white, and it's plain, and don't even get me started on that mismatched grey sports shoe look alike footwear)
Having said that, he's still mucho mucho love. HAHA! and,
'Ishihara, Omedetou!'
I have a mad mad obsession with wanting to try my hands at kimono recently. DOTS. Worse thing to ever make since it uses so much fabric. HAHA!
Oh, and Axel Rudi Pell rocks. Haven't heard a song from him that I didn't like, so that's a good thing. Must check out. HAHA. Ok, wtf was this whole post suppose to be about man.

I decided to go to bed earlier last night, just because, and I've decided not to go to bed early ever again.
I tossed and turned in bed for at least an hour, and when I finally fell asleep, I had a series of dreams(not nightmares. They weren't scary ones) that rendered me waking up feeling like I haven't gone to bed yet. All of it completely has no relation to each other whatsoever, but the last dream I had, was the one that left me waking up in the morning to find my eyes wet with tears, two tear-stained stream down the side of my eyes, and my pillow wet. I don't know who cries in their sleep but I know I did. I thought I was crying in my dream, but apparently not. =/.
Won't be the first time I had this dream actually. Off and on, I dreamed about it, and I wake up the next day to wet pillows and stickiness around my eyes. -.-"
I have a friend. We have been friends for 6 years. He said he knew me for so long, but he still doesn't know me yet, but he still tells me all his dirty little secrets(which I always threaten to use to blackmail him the day he pisses me off. haha!)
I have a friend. We have been friends for 7 years. We never meant to meet, but we did. Not much contact, but never turned down any of my requests. We still don't know so much about each other's life though(In fact I'm still rather unclear what's his last name/chinese name and I doubt he knows mine. HAHA!)
I have a friend. We have been friends for 7 years. Always there to lend a hand, no matter the time, or the matter. He doesn't know much about me either.
How well do you know your old-time friend? How well do you know me my friends? HAHAHA!!
Maybe everyone should review your friends and throw those that don't know you well away. HAHA! No I'm totally kidding. All friends should not be taken for granted, like I take my friends for(and totally feeling bad about it.HAHA). Plus I think I've bypassed enough friends in my life already.
