Current Mood: disappointed

why the hec do I feel so -_________- right now?!

I think I need to go out more cuz I'm tired of being stuck in the house.
Though I prefer staying home it's really starting to become annoying.

I feel sort of disappointed in myself too.. my long love of k-pop is starting to die -_-; and I blame TVXQ for that.
TVXQ = existence of k-pop fandom :T

I'll still listen to k-pop but that fandom I was really into is really.. x_x idk.
which really makes me sad since I know a lot of my friends are into K-POP and it's become rly awkward s:

I feel like its middle school all over again ;; damnit ANIME +___+ *runs off to the otaku-y geekness*

I can say my current addictions are the following XD .....

You're Beautiful (K-DRAMA)

Hooray for moar gender bender dramas! ABOUT IDOLS WOOT. And this one doesn't drag on like most k-dramas do, it's WONDER-FULLLL +___+ this one is definitely a PERFECT mix of romance, drama and COMEDY.

Random animes like...

Katekyo Hitman REBORN!

well, this one has been going on for a while, the anime is still going on so I continue to glee XD
I know some people watch the series and think 'man this is so stupid!' yes sir, the series I admit is quite 'stupid' and no plot whatsoever in the first few episodes, but after 20 episodes later.. this show started out from 'corny' to 'EPIC'.
It's so much more than just the 'mafia'.

Fairy Tail

T_T darn it, this one is from the same one who made 'Rave Master' D:<
I love the art style ;____; and natsu is one badass dude. So far I know it's about wizards(?) and guilds.. yes where is this going well just gotta wait and see! And from what I see this anime shall be epic.

Nyan Koi

I thought this anime would be the usual 'harem' storyline, but the fact that this unlucky dude is cursed by a cat god (?) just made this whole series hilariously funny.

Kimi ni todoke

so cute T_T I found it rly surprising to find this to be an anime, just the other day I was reading the 1st manga volume and now its an anime... wow. XD
Though I have read manga with the usual 'oh noess the girl looks like sadako!' type of story, this one turned out to be rly touching and cute than comical.

MIRACLE ☆ TRAIN

This anime is actually really CORNY. XD But in a good way LOL.
It's about the "urban legend" that if a troubled girl rides on the subway, she will automatically ride on the 'MIRACLE TRAIN'
And on the 'MIRACLE TRAIN' are the are the extremely hawt x: human forms of stations of the oedo line. (such as roppongi, shinjuku, etc)
Their goal is to solve the problem of the troubled girl on board.
Yeah.... I wish there was a 'MIRACLE TRAIN' over here, I'd be on there every single day. o3o

Kobato

Another cute anime brought to you by CLAMP :3
A strange clumsy girl named Kobato must bring happiness to those around her in order to fill up her jar of candy(people's 'hearts'). If she can fill up the entire jar, her wish to go to a certain place will be granted. However, she is not allowed to fall in love with any person whose heart she heals.
Yes it sounds corny XD but it's really cute.
And this guy makes me wanna watch moar! :3
oh hello thar adult version of syaoran ;D



and a strange obsession with abridged series O_o
*cough teamfourstar cough yugioh cough*

So pretty much Nekocon was definitely stressful this year? WHY? Just being so unorganized on our cosplay stuff ugh.
We weren't able to finish our props nor was I able to finish Death the kid's skull brooch :(

My Tsuna cosplay wasn't finished either :T my stupid acetate flame didn't come in time so I had to make do with craft foam :/

Ah I was able to do my k-pop panel even though I pretty much BS-ed it x: thanks to those who showed up anyway, hope you enjoy your k-pop buttons XD

I even had a emotional breakdown(yes death the kid was crying ;;) in the green room before the show -_-;; I srsly need to stop being so overly sensitive about rude cosplay comments >< ugh.

Our skit turned out to be pretty okay even after all that stress of getting our cosplay together + missing props.
Though we didn't win anything :T which is rly.. ehh I felt rly dissappointed since we were expecting at least a judge's award ;__; I can say we're pretty much done with participating in Nekocon's cosplay masquerade since this was our 2nd attempt (somehow we felt the judges were biased with musicals IDK), maybe we can do a moar epic skit at Otakon :)

Here's our skit :)
Again I was Death the kid xD let me know what you think~
Wakow Productions Presents:
What's for Dinner? featuring. Soul Eater & Kuroshitsuji

Current Mood: cold

hope til the end.

eh thought I'd update for once :)

(oh gawd my lj became so ugh D: dood.. gotta fix that.)

well I've become busy busy busy with cosplay stuff. Practice every week is becoming tiring but necessary. My group will be doing a Soul Eater/Kuroshitsuji cosplay skit at Nekocon of course^^ hopefully everything will go through smoothly. 
And hopefully the crowd and judges will like? ;;
We've been really working hard on getting the timing, the dance, the props, & the costumes all perfect for the final performance.
So far with my cosplay.. I'm maybe 40% finished. Yeah, bad since Nekocon is like in 2 weeks u__u
I'm pretty much waiting for my wigs :T

Tsuna is almost done :3 just gotta work on the flame and gloves.
Who the hec is Tsuna? This guy~~ (on the left)


Recently I've become addicted to this anime, Katekyo Hitman REBORN! 
oh goodness.. the slash is so obvious, no wonder tsuna is always paired up x:

I gotta start learning 'Gee' @_@ we're supposed to dance to it at the hitman reborn gathering^^

And of course on saturday for the cosplay masquerade, I'll be the one and only Death the kid !!


and on sunday I'll probably be hamtaro..... again. >>;

I'm hosting a K-POP panel on Saturday as well. Again the usual k-pop freebies and prizes for the 'Name that K-POP tune' contest
(I'll try to save one of the freebies for ya peter^^)

I might be going to Anime USA as well. If my friend lets me stay with her then I don't have to worry about getting an expensive hotel yeshhh.
Now I just gotta save up for the actual pre-reg -___-;; so...many... cons x_X

I should've signed up for a K-pop panel at anime usa as well now that I think about it :T
oh well, I'll prepare one for Otakon instead.
Panel= me ranting.
Well what's not to rant about? The world of K-POP this year is RIDIC right now. srsly. ><

I'll make sure to take lotsa pics during nekocon :3 see yaa.

woot I'm back! fghjklffghjj;;!
Yes I am tired. Sooo.. what to say about Otakon? Well otakon weekend was chill til yesterday *sigh* but I'll get to that later ;)

Reviewing everything by sections again XD

-----------------------------------------------------
OTAKON 09 Convention
-----------------------------------------------------

Hitting up the largest con in the east coast again ;)
I almost didn't make it this year! Thanks to my friends for helping me^^

The Good

◘ Got a awesome hotel this year yay :D
 
◘ Dealers Room was awesome XD yet made me sad at the same time.(no monies ;;) Man I wanted to buy so much stuff! At least I got two yaoi mangas .__. and a FREE Soul Eater poster !! (who bought all the Soul eater yaoi doujinshi?! darn youuu *shakes fist*)

◘ Awesome cosplays! I was so happy when I saw Soul Eater cosplays, even the announcer at the masquerade was Soul-kun xD

Here are a few photos I took ;)

lulz domo and santa forevuhh



I finally found an awesome Death the Kid!! They were so cute^^



our favorite ;) sexy Black Star!


and then sexy black star joined in O_O lol                                                    

     to excalibur~~!!!


Awesome SE group~ Caught them near the fountains :D


Eruka!!! I love her hat ;;


This Iron-man was the sh-t. His chest and eyes were even glowing!! (ugh blurry picture is blurry ;;)


scary awesome ryuk D:


Ciel~ So many Kuroshitsuji cosplays! Horray :D


someone did the new version of maka! O:



We saw our favorite DBZ cosplayers from Anime North again~ !


yay for Digimon 8D;


Moar cosplay photos here :)

◘ Got to meet up with friends from LJ and otakon forums :)

◘ Speaking of masquerade.. the masquerade at Otakon was effing SRS BSNS, that sh-t was EPIC. To have it in the Marina Arena was one thing but the skits were just amazing and lulzy XD (or maybe it was just the huge stage and sound system lol) Oh gawd if I find I can find the vid I'll post it but my friend and I LOVED the 'Otakon guide' skit feat. Sora&Riku. They danced to DBSK's Balloons! WTF D: Sorry to the people next to us cuz apparently we hurt your ears :c Screaming? Yes it had to be done.
wait nvm- found it xD



◘ Kanon Wakeshima concert!! We got er.. somewhat in the back seats but it was still a good view. She was so cute and random XD "I have two cats! one is a kitty. nyan~!" O_o whut.
Her voice was so lovely~ though she didn't do that 'move around like a doll' her singing and playing the cello made up for it (:


◘ Becca concert~ We got to her concert rly late actually cuz of check out and waking up late >.<
She was so full of energy~ loved it :D We were so happy we didn't miss her song 'I'm Alive!' one of my fav songs and ending to Kuroshitsuji.

◘ Free Water!! Thanks for the free water in each room Otakon 8D

◘ Finally a con has Pump it up! Loves it! We only had time to play one round but at least it was to Super Junior's U XD

The Bad

◘ Taking the back road to Baltimore took a little bit of time because of our stupid GPS! *kicks it*

◘ 2 HOUR WAIT FOR FUCKING REGISTRATION OH MY EFFING--. Thank you ninja and random otaku for making the wait interesting!
I AM SO GOING TO PRE-REGISTER NEXT YR, NEVER AGAIN WITHOUT PRE-REGGING!

◘ Money problems.. I was on such a tight budget this weekend, I only had 2 meals the entire time.

◘ Lines, lines, and moar lines.

◘ Drama with friends? u__u;; (sunday only after otakon..)

◘ LOL FLAT TIRE @ 2 AM. A towing truck brought us all the way back to Va Beach! 8D

☆ Otakon this year gets a 9/10. Just give me some more interesting panels and lovely music guests and you'll get a 10/10 XD I had no problem getting to places, no problem with the staff, found myself going to more events this year as well!
I actually rly love Otakon for being so organized honestly XD

---------------------------------------------------------------------
HOTEL REVIEW: Hilton Baltimore Hotel
---------------------------------------------------------------------
We stayed at the wonderful Hilton Baltimore! (expensive but worth it! thanks tonya bb! ;;)

Pros

◘ Location was VERY convienent! (though I felt lazy to walk outside of the convention area besides the Marina Arena XD)

◘ Check-in had a line, but it went by quickly. Front desk knew exactly what they were doing. (especially when they charged extra when they saw my friend step in, sh-t)

◘ It seemed quiet? IDK maybe to me but I've been to a con where part of it was located in the hotel and it was noisy and crowded as f---, but for otakon much more peaceful and spacious around the hallways.

◘ Nice Flat Screen Plasma TV in guest rooms. Nice interior.

◘ I love the fluffy pillows and comfy blankets omg ;____;

◘ Loved the walkway to the convention!! It brought us straight to the S.Pratt St. area in the BCC!

Cons

◘ Elevators are sooo sloww! (but it was packed so u__u;)

◘ Had to go around the block 3 times because we had no idea the parking entrance was on Paca St O_o; note to people actually staying at the hotel.. the parking was never FULL. Only full for people not staying at the hotel.

◘ No free internet :(

◘ Rooms are small. (well bigger than Hyatt's at least)

◘ No Self-Laundry Facilities >_>;;

☆ Overall I give Hilton Baltimore a 8/10. Obviously I've been to nicer hotels, but I usually get a bad experience with hotels because of their staff, I had NO PROBLEM whatsoever with the hotel's staff. They were all very nice, helpful, and got things done quickly. :) The rooms were good, so many elevators but so slow (/shrug), convienent location was the best part XD (and that's saying A LOT for me since I stayed at Hyatt and Tremont before, Hilton hands down is the best location! :p)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hmm might also plan for Anime Expo next year :D

future events?

NYC Anime Festival? (eh maybe) - September
SM Audition/Korean Festival- October
Nekocon {k-pop panel+skit @ masquerade+possible artists alley booth(?)} - November
Mini trip to Japan/Korea- December

Current Mood: sleepy

old picture is old.


So I was browsing around one of my old DBSK forums. I wanted to reminisce~ xD

( ON TO THE RANDOM DBSK RELATED MEMORIES (whut) )

eh needless to say I'm disappointed.
My summer is not going the way I wanted it to be.
At first I wanted to go to Otakon but now I'm like  all cons are pretty much the same
(and the fact that my death the kid cosplay isn't finished )
I was hoping they'd get some J-pop/J-rock artists I rly listen to but so far the concert list is not rly my type of music. (yeah I like kanon wakeshima but I only like 2 of her songs..)

I hate going to concerts and be like while watching.

So~ I'll wait for the friday act announcement but if it's not anyone energetic/epic there might be a chance I won't go /: (same as my friends who don't rly want to go anymore either.)

Maybe I should just go to Anime Mid Atlantic if I rly want to go to the dealers room rofl.

oh gawd plz let there be some kind of K-POP concert this summer XD it's been rly lame so far.
NEED TO SCREAM.FANGIRL.AND SCREAM SOME MOAR

That or run around Disneyland. Yes possibly disneyland..
YEAH BOIIIII DISNEYLAND!!

So this was pretty much my first trip where I flew on a plane alone.. and to fly early in the fcuking morning. (dbsk bbs I feel your pain ;;)
It was an interesting TIRING experience mm hmm.

This was my 2nd time going to Canada~ The first time I went up there was like 3456789 years ago.(okay 9 yrs ago :l)
The reason to go to canada? Call us crazy but I guess for Anime North. [I just went to go somewhere /shrug] My friends going with me never went to Canada before either.. so for some sightseeing too.

I had some problems once I landed in Canada at the airport -_-;; Apparently security have no idea wth 'anime' is and decided to think of me as 'suspicious' (note to self: never fly with a ALMOST expired passport ever again.) Got through them eventually and went with a shuttle to our hotel. My friends were supposed to meet up with me since they were driving up to Canada. They still weren't there. :(
Since I had no choice I had to walk to the convention.. which was like a mile or so from the hotel.




The convention was held in the TCC.
(small con that holds only the dealers room and dance/autographs)
As well as across the street at the doubletree hotel and the renaissance hotel which is like a mile away from the TCC :l 

Instead of adding details about the con I'm just gonna list some pros/cons XD *is lazy*

The Good

♥ Tim Horton's ice tea mmm.

♥ Icecream vendors (expensive but worth it.. Canadian icecream is awesome XD)

♥ Seeing The Conventioneers on Saturday.
the awesome button they gave me :D


♥ Masquerade was pretty cool.. didn't expect all the skits to be short x: but it was still good.

♥ The J-pop dance was pretty good. They played a few of the songs I gave them(even dbsk ;D) and watching the b-boys in the circle was so fun XD (hooray for finally turning the lights off!)

♥ Wrestling was fun. Kinda mad I wasn't able to see L vs. Raito though.(my friends said it was hilarious )

♥ Finally found some yaoi manga in the dealers room sunday! thank goodness i rly thought the only yaoi store was the doujinshi booth D:

♥ Seeing some k-pop&Soul Eater cosplays (awesome just awesome 8D)

CL(2NE1) & Big Bang!! Lollipop cosplay~ [she was so awesome :D]



Jaejoong 'Balloons' cosplay!



 a rly awesome DBZ cosplay :D



The Bad q(-_-)p {sorry lots of rants x:}

◘ The heat

◘ I was not expecting the TCC to be that small... wow. And the fact that  the con was held in both the doubletree and Renaissance (which was like what a mile away from TCC) made the con very crowded and tiring to get to.

◘ My friend pushing me toward Matt Chin(The Conventioneers) and having to get interviewed by him @__@
Uhm yeah I rly was just gonna ask for a picture with Matt then my friend just had to say I wanted to talk to him XD damnit.
Yeah AWKWARD. Very. Man that was embarrassing. I kept blushing the entire time >__<  (and the fact that I look rly fug D: omg ew.ew.ew.ew.ew.)
Glad I got to hug Matt and all but I did not want to be interviewed. eh oh well.
Let's hope they cut out my segment  :3 If not then.. x: it's going to be on BiteTV.
Or you can find it on Youtube T_T don't go looking for me *hides*
(matt is so cute I don't care if he makes fun of me lol)

◘ The badge. hmm. I was expecting a bigger badge that goes around my neck.
This badge is the odd ball in my anime con badge collection lol. Plus my  friends kept losing theirs because it was just a pin..
it's so easy to lose those things. /:



◘ Dealers Room was way too crowded. And didn't have a lot of stores I wanted to see.. (like a J-ROCK/CD store! srsly? How can there not be one at any con O_o)

◘ I hated how we have to go around the convention to go inside the TCC every time.

◘ I don't like how the con opens only at 5 PM on Friday.

◘ Uhm ok srsly? I thought it was rly rude that people left SO MUCH trash on the TCC lawn!
Pick up your trash people jeez!

◘ The J-rave on Friday was whack >_>;; lol @ a rave with lights on.

◘ Need moar Soul Eater cosplay/merch people ^^; plzz.

◘ Lines, lines, lines, and moar lines.

◘ I DON'T UNDERSTAND 'YOU JUST LOST THE GAME' D: (my friends and I were just like.. whut? WHUT IS THIS NEW MEME WE DON'T KNOW OF DDD: )

☆ Other than that I give Anime North a 6/10. It was organized enough, (though some events/panels were a bit delayed at some points) but I had no problem with the staff at all. As for the venue not rly to my liking. AN is always going be crowded can't do much about that. I usually hate dances/raves, I'm glad AN's J-pop dance was different for me. Overall, a very interesting canadian anime convention indeed. :p

After the con~  on sunday we went to nigara falls!


It's so pretty to see again ^__^

Moar Cosplay+Nigara Falls photos here:

Current Mood: amused

Im putting this up for myself just in case my laptop dies one day. (which will probably be soon)
And might as well for those poor souls searching around google for this sort of thing, just as I suffered  :(

{ great for k-pop fans as well ~ }

( Read more... )

My summer looks so bleak.. ;;

Mid-May

- Summer semester class! A&P. (ah we meet again A&P... oh how I hate you >_>')

- Anime North in Canada (random anime con ftw.. an excuse to go somewhere? Suuure is. :D But unfortunately I have to miss Epik High for this U___U;;)

June

- Anime Mid-Atlantic (er. I think by this time I'm gonna be sick of going to cons. Not sure about this one, nothing special going on at this con so if anything might just go for ONE day.)

July

- Tohoshinki [THE SECRET CODE] Tokyo Dome (LOL. I think I'm putting my hopes up way too much, not only did I lose both lotteries but it's going to be more difficult getting REGULAR tickets. We'll see in June if I get ANYTHING. if not well.. shit,man.)

- Otakon (uhm. TOO MANY CONS SRSLY. Please let there be good music acts this year DDD:)

August

- Back to fall semester...

Current Mood: bored

Here's the list so far...

BoA
SE7EN
Utada
Wondergirls
Crown J
SS501 (???)

I'll add more to this list later 8D;

RANT:

well not necessarily the city but their lovely radio station known as 100.5FM. They've switched from country to hardcore rock and recently to chinese music. Why the chinese music? well because they thought it would be so fucking hilarious to play chinese music and make a ridiculous website like this.

http://www.kungpao1005.com/

Um ok srsly? Not all the people here are STUPID. What did they think playing chinese traditional and pop music would be a bad thing? There are people here who DO listen to international music. And yes there are asians here as well if you haven't noticed. Yeah the racial remarks during the breaks is so fucking hilarious as well.

Well now that the publicity stunt is done and over with, the station is now known as HOT100.5 FM. Wonderful hits we've already heard over and over again. (on OTHER stations)

RAVE:

Thank goodness we recently got XM in the car now.

Current Mood: pissed off

1999:

Oh childhood memories. good times. good times.


Trunks you will always be my anime!crush 8D





2009:




DDDDDDDDDDDD:

OH SWEET MERCIFUL JESUS WTH IS THIS?

<INSERT FUTURE RANT HERE>

TIL THEN..

I WILL SEE YOU THAR AND MY EYES WILL BLEED.

Current Mood: irritated

It's 2009 and the epic battle for Asian artists to become the FIRST successful is a go.

SE7EN- Girls feat. LiL Kim

Release date: 3/10/09
Jini's rating: 4/5
{single available on amazon.com}


Darkchild has done it again. This is a song that I believe people can listen to on the radio, whether people hate it or not, it's addicting.
And what's the secret to America's mainstream music? Catchy, repetitive verses, and an addicting beat.
Though SE7EN's American management is lacking, I'm hoping SE7EN will get at least more promotion than just Myspace.
With Chris Brown out of the way, SE7EN might be able to take his spot.

Utada- This Is The One album

Release date: 5/12/09
Jini's rating: 3/5
Recommended tracks:
02 Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence -FYI
03 Apple And Cinnamon
06 Automatic Part II
09 Come Back To Me


Somehow I feel disappointed again.. just as I was with Exodus. The beats/melody are AWESOME but yet again Utada's singing style doesn't fit. And well the lyrics.. the lyrics will always be meh.
However, with the few ballads on the album, Utada has made an improvement for her US debut #3. Her song 'Come Back To Me' has been doing fairly well, lots of air play on the radio and in public places.
That song of hers is definitely going places.

BoA- US debut album

Release date: 3/17/09
Jini's rating: 4/5
Recommended tracks:
1) I did it for love
2) Energetic
4) Look Who's Talking
6) Obsessed
7) Touched
9) Girls On Top
11) Hypnotic dancefloor




I do not have this album on hand but I have listened to the previews. And judging from the previews.. I LOVE IT ALREADY. I enjoyed EVERY single track. Maybe it's just my type of music, (Dance? Pop? Yes. Why not.) I could care less about her accent.
The music is good. The music video is good. The promotion is good. I'm going to run over to Wal-mart or Target on March 17th and get my hands on her album. I will run to the cd shelf, SPAZZ, stare at the back cover, SPAZZ, and BUY IT. (not rly)

ok srsly yea I'm buying all those albums. I spent 99 cents so far!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I heard Ayumi Hamasaki will try to debut here too? wtf.
...
Wondergirls is releasing a english ver of 'Nobody'? wtf.
...
RQM said a 5 member boyband is debuting here as well? (AKA Big Bang) WTF.

Well whomever trying to debut in the US, there's no glamor here. You won't have screaming fans at your whim. You will face criticism and lots of criticism.
Which do I think will make it here? I have no idea, it's not MY opinion that's going to help them nor fans', it's the response of the general American audience.

I'm hoping for a miracle.

[hallyu wave in the us anybody?]

Current Mood: blah

A list of concerts I must go to this year.. :p

:D = definitely going

Unknown k-pop concert ? (May NYC)  :D

Hollywood Bowl (May LA)

Tohoshinki [THE SECRET CODE] (May SAITAMA, JP)

Jpop/rock concert @ Otakon 

Unknown k-pop concert ? (Fall NYC)  : D

{random post}

my chii JJ~ ♥





Hmm so.. I've been watching a few movies.. (mysoju.com !)

Antique Bakery (Korean 2008)
Category: Comedy/Drama/Romance (a hint of boy's love)
Jini's rating: 5/5


It's a 5 out of 5 because it's simply awesome.


Boy Meets Boy (Korean 2008)
Category: Romance?
Jini's rating: 3.5/5



I was actually expecting better but it turned out to be a short indie silent film. It was cute. And that's all I can say about it. Let's just say the cupid popping out of no where ruined it for me. :l
However looking at it in visual aspect, the production was done very well.. most BL films I watch are usually low budget. But how can I think less of the director who also did Frozen Flower?


Crush and Blush (Korean 2008)
Category: Comedy/Romance ish?/Drama
Jini's rating: 4/5



This is the type of movie most people usually ignore because of the cover. But as the saying goes "Don't judge a book by it's cover"
And good thing I did watch this movie! It was gooood~ I found it so cute that main character had a blush problem whenever she was stressed haha.
This story focuses more on the friendship between two blacksheeps. One being a unnoticed "blushed" woman, and a misfit teenager. The two team up and go about their plan to destroy the relationship between the pretty teacher and dad.
Sounds cheesy but it's actually quite good ♥ This movie won a award at the 7th Korean Film Awards anyways :p go watch!


Koizora (Japanese 2008)
Category: Romance/Drama
Jini's rating: 4/5



Honestly I'd give it a 5/5 if it wasn't for the main guy LOL. His acting was a bit meh but I still give him props ;) (not to mention he was hot heh)
 I LOVED THIS MOVIE.
It showed the realistic views of a relationship, not just the usual OMG IM GONNA LOVE YOU FOREVER. Though the end seemed to be a bit cliche from that XD
This movie started off as a cellphone novel which was actually based on a true story o.o confusing huh?
Well, Koizora made a 11 million people cry with the novel alone! Imagine how many people cried during the movie? I know I did! And if you don't cry there's something wrong with you! >:P

The Good, The Bad, and The Weird (Korean 2008)
Category: Action/Comedy
Jini's rating: -
{on the works}


Boys Over Flowers drama (Korean 2009)
Category: Romance/Comedy
Jini's rating: 4/5


I find it so weird how the F4 phenomenon came back. I mean I wasn't really into the Japanese one since I always believed Meteor Garden would be the best HYD drama ver. Then the long anticipated korean ver came out! oh boyy x:
Yet now I fell for the complete opposite F4 guys XD

In Meteor Garden I was in love with Lei.. (Vic Zhou)
ya know the quiet, mysterious, sexy guy.



but now in BOF I completely fell for So Yi Jeong. THE PLAYER.



fghjkl wtf T___T

I don't know something about Hyun Joong...{/besides the acting D:} (& probably cuz I was a SS501 fangirl... he wasn't my fav member in the first place x:)

I do miss pineapple head though.



BTW not be a total dbsk fangirl why do all the Domyojis look like Changmin's long lost twin O___o ????

{another random thing..!!}

cuuute video^^  (english captions included :) !)

Current Mood: tired

so I haven't posted in a while...
just been busy with school now  a days :( darn you college.

And during these days of college.. I have become more bored than usual D: so bored, in fact, I've resulted to going back to my old fandom.
How is it possible? I THOUGHT I WOULDN'T GO BACK. (baby come back to mee♥)

ANIME.

YES.

FCUKING ANIME.

FCUK YOU ANIME.

MY NERDY DAYS WERE GONE A LONG ASS TIME AGO. (LIKE ELEMEN-MIDDLE SCHOOL MUCH?)

THE FRACK.

My list of recommended animes :3

- Vampire Knight (season1 + 2!) [twilight fails]

that is all bitches.

oh and I'm trying to save up for HB. even though I know I'm probably going alone. No one understands my K-POP fandom :c
(Yes I'm sad DBSK is not going but... can you honestly name ONE huge k-pop festival in friggn America? Yes none but the one and only KMF in LA sadly) {eastcoast never gets love.. though wondergirls might come but it's like.. I'm not a fangirl of a girlgroup so it's a bit awkward LOL.[might fangirl over yoobin.. she needs to go back to her crossdressing days D8}

(btw my subject line was totally a reference to SOUL EATER's [DEATH ZE KID] ;p)

LOL. So a 3-4 hour drive, with no organization whats so ever, luck definitely wasn't on our side. We missed the SM Audition :( and the K-festival on Friday. My friends and I went to the k-festival on Saturday it wasn't so great.. we kept missing all the bboy performances wth! (but hey a lot of cute random k-guys for sure ;D I miss umbrella boy and jaejoong wannabe boy)
I also saw how real crazy fangirls are during the k-festival. I mean damn I thought Hollywood Bowl had the true fangirls. Screaming over nothing is really stupid. Those bboy crews were cool but uh fangirl over them? Psh all those fangirls didn't know who the hell they were! They just fangirled cuz they were cute -.-;; I should've recorded them.. drawing hearts on the crew's van. oh the fail.
I know I'm being a bit hypocritical but I can only fangirl to artists I'm really into. I just find it strange to fangirl to a bboy crew or a random hot person singing. *shrug*
Despite all the rain (LOL RAIN.. sorry. I can't wait to see Ninja Assassin 8D) it was a fun road trip to hang out with friends.
Ok eff all the k-towns maybe it's just better to go to Seoul damnit :l

My camera is broken so I couldn't take any pics TT TT

Current Mood: bored

I should've posted this earlier but yuh..

back from Otakon!

How should I put this.. let's just say it wasn't as AWESOME as many people think a huge ass convention would be.
Baltimore is definitely not my type of city. Too many bums, drunks, and people who just don't give a sh*t are there.
Otakon was a bit of a disappointment.. just the con in general.. too much hype over the biggest con in the east coast honestly.
Maybe my stay at Otakon would've better if it wasn't for the hotel situation.. I hate walking long ass distances back and forth. No wonder I couldn't even catch any of the panels I wanted to go to. I didn't even get to stay in the Dealers Room for long either.
However the people I've met at Otakon were awesome, I'm very grateful to those who helped us out during the entire weekend :]
Man that convention is so huge.. so confusing to find everything >< but I loved seeing all the wonderful cosplays. *o* They're just too much win!
I met with Tatsuri at Edo Sushi where I tried Takoyaki(octopus balls) for the first time. Dood... those balls EXPLODE WITH FLAVOR IN YOUR MOUTH.
No it's not a bad thing. Cuz they were damn delicious! Which is weird for me since I hate octopus XD after that experience ended up fangirling with tatsuri and got the pre-reg badge. Those badges are so cute.


Mine <3 LUCKY STAR :DD

I went to the Jam Project concert on Friday. My friend and I left to Marina Arena at 4:30 only to find NO LINE at all. It wasn't until 5 ish people started lining up and my friends and I ended up at the front :p
Jam Project fanboys are intriguing. They kept singing outloud various Jam Project songs. "MOTTO, MOTTO!" They were amusing.
While we were still waiting line, some drunk tard decided to harrass us :l he eventually left us alone since we kept ignoring him. He made his move toward a slim long haired MALE. Hah looks like a girl from behind but really a guy! that was funny. He kept trying to bother the other otakus in line of course -_-;; Staff tried talking to him but that just made drunk tard cuss him out and threaten to bust a cap in his knee x:
He eventually did go away but man drunk people scare me ;-;
So yuh we got front row which really wasn't worth it. I wasn't a fan of Jam Project before nor after the concert. Their music is definitely anime music only. I didn't know they were THAT old either. Dang 40-60 yr olds still have energy O-o;
Kinda sad to see front row spazzing like woah except for the girls at the end. (yes that's us)
But I liked trying to get attention from the sexy blonde grandpa. His style is so cool :D
<333
I did a heart thing with my arms and he pointed and winked at me 8DDD

Jam Project

After a fail of an attempt of getting into the Jam Project and running into a few bitches. (YES GIRL IN THE JAM PROJECT LINE I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU.)

"Eff this" We ended up going to the J-rock Q&A Panel instead. Thank goodness we did. All 3 bands were so cute! Marbell really surprised me she's effing awesome lol. She didn't seem like the typical japanese girl she was so hilarious XD


Marbell's answers..
Q: What relaxes you?
A: This might be inappropriate but.. *snickers* .. masterbation :D
^
lol wtfff

so after she said that everyone started saying that

Daizystripper
Q: What did you do during the 16 hour fight from Japan?
A: For 16 hours I did ... masterbation~ ;D

XDDD

Marbell
Q: What is your favorite english word/phrase?
A: I'm a bitch :) *points at band members* They're bitches!

8D she's so fun lulz.

After the Q&A panel was over we went to the autograph session.. luckily we got the ticket from the Q&A panel so were able to be the first group to go inside. I was in my hamtaro suit that day so whenever I got to a band member they called me cute hamtaro XD; When I got to my fav member Yugiri he held onto my hand longer. (highlight of my day +o+ yes I'm a loser)




And on sunday was finally the J-rock concert! Our seats weren't like in front but decent. My favorite performance was Marbell's since hers was really touching ;__; she started crying towards the end of her performance. I guess Daizystripper's performance was too short for me since they were the first act.
I wish the venue was set up where the fans could just go closer to the stage and no chairs.. it's more fun to go to a J-rock concert where you can jump and push people :p Jumping with a row of chairs in front of you is just awkward XD

First Otakon was interesting~ If they get another good artist I'll go. If not~ I look forward for that "music festival" Otakon! :p
