I signed up for Mozy online storage. I think I get 5gb but I’m not sure. I want to upload some of my doramas so I can have friends access them. I signed up for mediamax but that site really frustrates me since I always get timed out. Grrrr. Anyway, it would help me a lot if you sign up for mozy through

https://mozy.com/?ref=JDTM56

or suggest a better online storage than mediamax.

I  don’t want to have Bishie as crush anymore.  He’s bad for my mental health. So let me introduce my new and improved crush.

He is Ikuta Toma. He’s a Japanese actor. He’s 24 years old so that won’t make me a pedo. I liked him when he appeared as Junpei in Hana Yori Dango 2 even though he only had a bit part. He has a better part now in another dorama. I say good for him! Good for me too because it means I’ll see him more.

Yes, I’m back to pathetic fantasy boys but I would rather have it this way.

Yahoo! It’s almost official that there’s going to be a HYD movie next year with the same cast as the dorama. I got the news from http://arashi.vox.com/

And here’s a message from the cast (taken from here)

Inoue Mao (as Makino Tsukushi) - Last spurt! I will do my best!!
Matsumoto Jun (as Domyoji Tsukasa) - We made you wait, didn’t we!
Oguri Shun (as Hanazawa Rui) - I’m sleepy…but if I can see everyone (again, I will do it.)
Matsuda Shoota (as Nishikado Soojiroo) - Keep your hopes up for the finale.
Abe Tsuyoshi (as Mimasaka Akira) - Lets meet at the movie theater. [hehe he wrote in Chinese.

I wish they’ll include Ikuta Toma in the movie but I doubt it.

I’m pining for a Nintendo Wii. It’s not too expensive but I still have a long way to go before I can save up for one. Maybe I can ask mom to give me one for my birthday.

I was in Serendra and Bonifacio High Street last Friday with Phoebe. We had supper at Zao which is a Vietnamese restaurant beside Conti’s. The food is good but expensive. Ugh. Spend spend spend. Jenny caught up with us as we were about to finish eating. After paying the bill, we headed to Fully Booked. I wanted to go just to buy Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban which I thought I already have. I’m reading all the books in the series now and when I read that book, I remembered that I only borrowed my friend’s copy.

So anyway, we were at Fully Booked and I went to the manga section. I was looking for guro manga even if I doubt that FB sells them. Well they don’t. But what I saw made me shout out to my friends. They have NANA! I guess a lot of people buy the series since only volumes 1, 3, and 6 were there. So I got those three volumes and mulled over buying The Drifting Classroom series. I decided that could wait so I went to the second level to get the Harry Potter book. It was in the sci-fi section so when I was checking out the other books, I was astonished to find Francesca Lia Block titles. Some of them I still don’t have in my collection. So I got the following:

• Psyche In A Dress
• Ruby: A Novel
• Wasteland

We hung out at the Starbucks (but didn’t buy anything) until FB closed then we headed to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Until that, too, closed.  I think that was around 1:30 AM.

We left Serendra then headed to my house where Phoebe left her car. She wanted to see Yasu so when we got there, we went to my room and babbled some more. Phoebe has the newest Canon camera (not sure if it’s an ixus) and it has a cool feature which takes 10 shots using its timer. We had fun posing and goofing around. We were noisy and the racket we made woke up mom. It was really fun though. They left around 4 AM.

Eh. I haven’t written here for awhile. Let’s see. I’ve been hot-headed lately. I don’t know why but petty annoyances make me flare up. I also think I’m becoming dumber. I suspect it has something to do with my medications. One of which is Lithium which I’ve been taking for almost a month now but scares the hell out of me. Really scary shit. I don’t think it’s helping me much either but I’ll see after a couple more weeks. If after that I’m still depressed, I have to start from scratch again. I really don’t want to try all sorts of medications again but no choice really unless I want to remain like this.  Enough about this.

I sell stuff on multiply. I’m not successful since I still have a lot of unsold items. I might be one of the surliest sellers there so I’m not surprised that I hardly sell anything. Hehe.

Phoebe got back last Saturday. She brought me a San-X Rellakuma plushy because she couldn’t find a Nyanko. Waaah. She also gave me a nice Hello Kitty lolita plastic case. I’ll try to take a photo of it tonight. My favorite is the plastic umbrella she gave me. I had to beg her to give me one instead of another Rellakuma bear. So now I have one of those transparent umbrellas I keep on seeing in doramas. Yay! I love it! I’ll use it soon.

We weren’t able to go out Saturday night since I was pooped so we did on Sunday. We went to Greenbelt to watch Ratatoille and we saw Derek Ramsey. What a hottie! I wanted to talk to him but I got all shy. Blech I don’t want to be a fan girl but I watch Ysabella because he’s there. Sometimes I disgust myself. Ha ha.

Enough rambling for now. Back to work.

I liked this more than Nana 1. At least this time, Mika Nakashima used more expressions oh her face. What I really didn’t like about the film version of Nana is a lot of the side stories were deleted. Like the romance between Shin and Layla, for one. I think that’s an integral part of Nana. Another is the sorta romance between Yasu and Nana. Why didn’t they include that? I’m rooting for the Yasu-Nana romance in the anime and manga so the fact that they didn’t include that pissed me off. Oh well, I’m just a viewer. I know a lot of Nana fans liked the film version. I’m not one of them though.

I was at the NANA Day at Metrowalk last 7/7/07. I had to go there alone since Jenny, a friend who was supposed to go with me, was sick. Boo! I’m getting used to going out alone though. I brought Yasu with me and it was his first night out. I wanted to enter him in the cosplay contest but it was too late. I think it would have weirded out people too. The event was pretty good. There were hardly any awkward moments because of the good hosts. I didn’t enjoy some of the bands though. A lot were off-key and their singing gave me a headache. I left early, a little after 10 to be exact. The crowd was getting to me and I was developing neck pain in the literal sense. Well here are some photos. I only got a few good ones since I was too far from the stage. I’m lucky I even got to sit.

I just hate the limitations of Mac sometimes. Well that hardly happens except for subtitling applications. I’m a part of Japan-TV fansubbers and I mostly do quality checks. That involves correcting grammar, spelling, timing, etc. Right now I’m QC-ing Hana Yori Dango and it’s one of my favorite doramas. I really want to QC it properly to do the dorama justice but how can I do that when most of the subtitler apps for Mac just fucks up the files! I need a decent substitute for Advanced Substation Alpha (which only runs in Windows) but I couldn’t find any. I’ve tried Jubler and it just messed up the timing. I also tried Miyu but it doesn’t read .ass files. It’s so frustrating. My only option, at least that I know of, is to edit using an HTML editor. I couldn’t check if the timing’s correct through that. *sigh*

I want to make a Neco Twitter at neco.tter.jp/ but I couldn’t figure it out. I’ve chosen the cat already but I couldn’t seem to register. I wish I can read Japanese

I was finally able to make one. His name is noircat but I don’t know what to do with him. Bleh
