she's still looking a little weak, and admittedly, the performance is not really her usual gfghfjhj standard, but how she can sing like that w/o having fully recovered from LARYNGITIS idek. ♥

...she looks like she's just about ready to cry for all the wrong reasons though. she needs more rest, aaah.

Drunken Salarymen: The Musical [07 Jan 2010|12:24am]

[ mood | contemplative ]
[ music | *u* ]

Right now I'm working on a final paper about Japanese salarymen as featured in pre-World War II films. It's scary how things haven't changed -- they still work to death, drink to death, and remain obedient to their bosses even if they're being treated like worm. Majority of the men in Japan, however, are expected to take this way of life. It's such a natural path that every male college student is pressured to apply in companies. Most of my male Japanese friends already wear business suits, scurrying around for interviews for potential employers. It's strange because the suit is such a formal attire, but even normal employees wear them.

THEY'RE FUCKING EVERYWHERE. I'm always pressed against one in the rush hour train -- it's so jampacked in the mornings that my face is practically on some salaryman's chest, while Matthew swore it was so tight that he was already 'prodding' a salaryman in the ass. He even accidentally pressed his mouth against a salaryman's head when we were being jostled/pushed around. We joke that "it's the closest to action these guys can get" in loud english, fully aware that they most likely understand what we're saying but are too scared/preoccupied to say anything. One of the advantages of being a gaijin is that we can speak normally on the train. The salarymen just keep eerily quiet, which is strange because everybody's glued to the crotch and no one even breathes.

Whenever I go to an izakaya (Japanese pub) it is normal to see a group of crazy Japanese salarymen, fully red in the face and shouting at the top of their lungs. What's even normal is that these drunkards GET in the train. Every night the Yamanote sen has this distinct odor of booze. I can't count how many times I've seen a) vomit on the train platform b) someone vomiting IN THE TRAIN c) drunken salarymen walking awkwardly/falling asleep in weird positions d) people drinking beer from cans. All these while taking the train.

Another possibly disgusting/fascinating anecdote: my friends and I were heading off to Jiyugaoka for some karaoke when we spotted a group of completely smashed salarymen near the station. They were about sixty years old. Two balding, red-faced men were giggling and holding hands tightly, and when we walked by the other said "君愛してる." ("I love you") over and over again and started kissing the other man's neck. THESE WERE LIKE OLD MEN HAVING THIS TEENAGE NECKING SESSION. I stared at them in sheer horror and fascination as my friends pulled me away. Next thing we knew there were two other men, swaying drunkenly, holding hands and giggling like schoolgirls, whispering sweet nothings.

Manly bonding between coworkers, indeed.

and finally that general first line per month meme i usually do (although lol there were months when i posted a total of one entry going sth like "HI I'M ALIVE"):
Take the first sentence (or two) from the first entry of each month and post it here. That's your year in review.
january → december; )

anyway. jfc, i should make it a new year's resolution to start sounding less retarded again in this lj. but, oh. thing to be happy about: c.n. blue teasers in the morning. :D:D:D

Etude House Shopping [05 Jan 2010|11:59pm]

[ mood | amused ]

After work, my dad asked me to go to Mercury Drugs Shangrila Mall to buy "Aqua pack" for my brother. It's a substance you put on oxygen tanks (he is confined at PGH). When I ask the sales lady if they have one, she doesn't know what it is and never bothered to help me out. I got pissed and walked away. Instead of going home, I remembered that [info]ksolaris and [info]kabadingan_atbp featured some beauty products that can be bought at Etude House - Megamall. I got curious about it especially that Lee Min Ho is the endorser of the shop. LOLOLOLOL!!!!

Here are the stuff I bought. :D


http://www.etude.co.kr

- Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam - P278
- Aqua Sherbet Ice Toner - P478
- Black head bond patch - P378
- Mess shower ball (For Gary's reference. XD) - P78
- Secret beam powder pact - P578
- Eyebrow kit - P398
- Beauty stand (brush holder) - P198

You have to purchase at least PhP 2,000 so that you can take home the cute white cat plushie and a Lee Min Ho plastic folder! =3


Camwhore time!
Posing with the white cat stuff toy after using the beam powder and eyebrow
kit Nyahaha! =3


Sasa Morales was there too. She was also curious about the shop and went there all the way from work. I was there for almost an hour but we didn't notice each other because we are both busy shopping. XD

Here are links from my LJ friends who featured some products from Etude House. :)

“FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT TO DEDUCTION FROM YOUR SALARY. THANK YOU!” [04 Jan 2010|11:29am]

tedhannah
TO NAME WITHHELD UPON REQUEST,

Madame, I was surprised few days ago to see my mailbox with your note reminding me to liquidate my transportation allowance for certain months (please see photo above).For the record, this is the third time I’ve received this kind of notice and every time that happens I immediately submit all the required papers that you needed from me but this time I’m totally perplexed because every single month of the frigging year I submit my expense report form two weeks before its bloody deadline and last November of 2009, you sent me a notice to liquidate my expenses for certain months and I did! I even submitted it to Y.O.U. personally, I should have taken a picture of you receiving it. But this frigging third notice is totally irritating with a note

“FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT TO DEDUCTION FROM YOUR SALARY. THANK YOU!”

Did you just hit your head on the pavement? In every single month and every single notice, I COMPLY even if it’s your FAULT! I C.O.M.P.L.Y! This clearly shows that YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOB! You are a sad proof of the Dilbert Principle! Its 2010, for christssake! Reconstruct your office routine! Don’t just sit there all day deciphering the concept of cut and paste! I don’t want to think that the people processing our pertinent documents has an IQ lower that a common house rat and binary still gives them multiple options! Please do you job and do it RIGHT! Prove yourself!

[ music | Wrong Number - Tohoshinki ]

I am extremely exhausted and too lazy to focus on other things i.e. cleaning my room. TONS of things happened in such a short span of time -- we had the Meiji Gakuin Christmas Party, Christmas Eve at the dorm, I went to see Angela Aki live, my sis [info]kotomine visited and I took her to all my favourite places + Kamakura since I haven't been there (it was awesome btw) and we walked a lot, tinkered with gashapons, did purikura twice, and ate loads. My sis asked me "why do you guys eat a lot" because I would help myself to tons of servings while she wouldn't even finish hers, which might explain my epic weight gain. So now I'm full/happy/tired/worried about upcoming schoolwork.

I'm not going to explain my year 2009 experiences because it would take up a long list. Basically it could be summarized as this: I CAME TO JAPAN. :D

During New Year's Eve my sis and I went to Kamakura to visit the temples then went drinking at an izakaya in Jiyugaoka. Finally we ended the night with karaoke. At night before I slept I had this whole walk down memory lane -- about how I got here, all the people I'm with, etc. and then I started thinking about what I'm going to do when I come back home; I know I'm welcome but there's this fear that may be I wouldn't fit in anymore? Among other things.

It's crazy because I'm leaving soon and I miss home so badly but I am so USED to living in Tokyo that this is my home too. It's a really weird feeling, half melancholy and half fulfillment.

SeungHo and SoYeon are known friends of 8 years, and they have attended the same high school AhnYang Arts High. And it was known that their mothers are also friends

After knowing about the news of the filming, SeungHo had even called up SoYeon’s mother to let her know about it. Also during filming, SoYeon has said to the camera doing an aegyo video message to SeungHo’s mother, “Auntie~ I kept my promise~”.
