I am in love with a boy. I’m afraid though, he’s a man who doesn’t know it yet. He will some day, I’m sure of it. We’re certainly not in a rush to figure things out. Day by day is fine by me.
( I’m feeling like a blob of mush today.x) )

Well I don’t really. That song just popped into my head when I saw the time. 
I just found out about an hour ago that I have an exam tomorrow afternoon! LOL
I studied as much as I can for it in the past hour. Which basically meant that I memorized a list of 12 points while I was packing my bag for school. At the same time Telephone by Lady Gaga was playing on loop in the background of my brain. Especially the Beyonce part where she goes “~…a DISASTUH” 
) ahahahahaha!!I love it. It turns a disaster…into a catastrophe! XDD
In other news, my life has been both enriched and deprived.
Enriched in that I’ve been completely and utterly immersed in my own culture. I’ve learned a lot about myself, and I’ve learned that there’s a whole lot left to learn!
Deprived, because I feel like I spend every other minute just resting and trying to get my energy back up for the next moment. I’m so lazy. (-_-);; So because I’m so lazy I lost track of a couple of hobbies. Arashi included. Although I was beginning to lose the fandom even before I left Canada.
So here is a list of little things I need to get back into:
- FANFICS (ZOMG I’M REALLY SORRY ATWAS!! T___T)
- Arashi’s latest singles! And some of their more recent and more hilarious show/appearances.
- Origami! I bought this super cute Japanese book called “Chichai Origami” they are tres cute!
- I need to practice writing kanji! Also I want to try hiragana calligraphy.
- I still want to learn and practice how to mold stuff out of clay.
- I am DETERMINED to listen to EVERY SINGLE ONE of the 5897 songs on my iPod!!!
- I have a pile of classical books I need to read, plus textbooks to learn from cover to cover!
- Walk the puppies more often. XDDD Probly every Saturday cause I get home too late to walk them.:p
Anything y’all think I should catch up on?
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!! As we say in the Philippines,
KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!!!
and let’s not forget… our bashful Snow White puppy princess wishes you a HAPPY V-DAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!
( XDDD I had to post it even though it’s totally unrelated to valentine’s!! the adorableness just kills me. XDDD )
I will skip the rant on how long I haven’t posted and summarize everything in 5 Points!!
1.) My university sucks, so I’m transferring next school year. I have yet to start applying though cause I’m waiting for final transcripts.
2.) My fandom is sketchy. I haven’t really been following the boys but recently, their music has been keeping me alive one assignment at a time.
3.) Dengue fever is ARGHA;;ASJDB;ASVASJAVSRN A/LKSDGA/LSKALSFBALSJV/LSD/KBASGKNASGBLBSADGLKSDLSDGL SA!!!!!!!!
4.) I’m dating someone. A real human being!! It’s not just my imagination!!!!!!
5.) I have a permanent temporary tan. YEY!!! XDDD
That concludes the main things that have happened to me recently. In other news, Arashi still rules a corner of my heart; Alicia Keys new album is ASDFKJHALSKJF;AHFG;AJ–AWESOME!!!!!; and I have a couple of fanfic ideas, but there’s nothing yet to bring back the old ATWAS magic 
( I’m workin on it though, I’m working on it!!

I’M BACK IN THE PHILIPPINES!! YAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!
To be honeset, I wasn’t expecting to be this happy. I was feeling nervous all the way on the plane because it was going to be another huge change, and God only knows how badly I did the second time that I moved here. Fortunately, those nerves turned out to be nausea, cause I felt much much better after threw up my chicken noodle soup on the plane. ^_^d I think the thing that I was most nervous about was my dog. We weren’t really sure how she’d cope spending that much time in the crate that she hated, so after the first five-hour flight to Vancouver, we checked her out and took her for a bit of a walk. She was highly agitated but that was to be expected since she absolutely despised her crate and she’d never ridden a plane before. Other than that she was perfectly fine and starved for both food and attention. It was the 14 hour flight to Manila from Vancouver that got my mother and I exchanging worried looks. Not only was I looking pale as a ghost and unable to walk properly due to nausea, I was really worried about how Yumi was doing. Apparently the cargo hold was temperature controlled but I wasn’t sure if it was heated or if they just made sure that it wasn’t as cold as it was outside. My mom even questioned the quality of their control over temperature when she found out that the outside temperature was in the range of the minus 30s (celsius). So when we arrived and we found the baggage claim, I made a beeline to the start of the conveyor belt where the luggage was coming out from. I waited there for about fifteen minutes and then all of a sudden the luggage coming out dwindled and eventually died. Anxiously, I stepped between the two people in fornt of me and peeked through the rubber flaps that the luggage was coming through. YES I WAS THAT NERVOUS XDDDD You would be too if you heard rumors about airport people stealing dogs! But more than that we were worried that by some unfortunate occurrence, Yumi died during the trip. I was about to demand an explanation from someone, but then a door behind me opened and Yumi’s crate was hurried out. Three old airport workers stood by and one of them casually asked if it was my dog while I ignored him and just opened her crate and let Yumi’s joyful reaction answer his question. As soon as she came out, there was a chorus of “How cute!!!” from surrounding airport people. XDDDDDD (I was slightly weirded out by the fact that he didn’t even ask for Yumi’s documents just to prove that I was the owner, so thankfully I got to her crate before anyone else did XDDDDD) With Yumi succesfully in tow we went out to meet my dad, brother and cousin who were waiting for us.
However, I was dismayed to find out that during the trip, my grandmother had died. She wasn’t actually my father’s mother, she was my father’s aunt but she was still my grandmother. The mourning period for her death wasn’t going to start til about 9pm and we got out at 7:30 so we went and got a bite of dinner before heading to the funeral parlour. When we got there, it was only my aunt and uncle in the room. We brought Yumi in in her doggy backpack so they didn’t notice her (we didn’t want to leave her in the stifling car). I put the bag down for a sec to greet them, but then Yumi started making her complaining sounds and they were surprised to find that there was a dog in the room. My aunt cackled and pointed out that no pets were allowed so we all ushered into the small blocked off eating space that had been provided and everyone bustled around Yumi there. After a couple of more people arrived, we prayed for a bit then we left for home. It felt kinda good being in the Philippines again. Despite the blatant poverty it felt weirdly good to be able to see the reality of the situation instead of just hearing about it from secondhand sources. So here I am in our little scungy house that I have to clean and do some laundry and keep an eye on my dog to make sure she adjusts to the heat properly. Sorry I haven’t been keeping up with y’all. ^_^ It’s been pretty hectic and whatnot. It’s good to be back. ^_^d
God Bless you Lola Seb. You were a hard-ass, chain-smoking, tobacco ash chewing woman of iron who loved yelling obscenities at teleserye villains. But you did everything for your grandchildren. We’ll miss you.
I should post more often ne? XDDD
Anyhooooo~
“It was because she had her head down that she missed the look on Nino’s face change…”
(That’s right! Nino’s the star of this chapter bitches!)
(gomen for swearing. XDDDD Nino and swearing go hand in hand for some reason XDDDD)
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!!!
I JUST SAW THIS ON A VOX PAGE.
HE’S GOING TO BE IN NEW YORK TO PROMOTE YATTERMAN AT THE NEW YORK COMIC CON. AND THEN I REALIZED THAT THIS IS THE VERY SAME COMIC CON THAT MY BROTHER WAS PLANNING ON GOING TO!!!!! I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY BROTHER EVEN THOUGH HE WAS AT WORK AND INTERROGATED HIM BUT HE SAID HE WASN’T GOING ANYMORE!!!! So what happened next?
MAI-CHAN STARTS FRANTICALLY CALCULATING HER SAVINGS AND HOW SHE COULD POSSIBLY GET THERE. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
ZOMG! SERIOUSLY I WOULDN’T MIND IF I DIDN’T GET TO GO BECAUSE IN MY CURRENT SITUATION I WOULDN’T WANT TO FORCE MY FAMILY TO COUGH UP MONEY JUST SO I CAN GO TO NYC AGAIN. BUT MY BROTHER WAS ALREADY PLANNING ON GOING. SO HE MIGHT ALREADY HAVE SAVED UP. SO MAYBE HE COULD GO FOR ME AND GET SHO’S AUTOGRAPH? AND A PICTURE? AND GIVE HIM SOME FAN MAIL? PLEASE KUYA?
I swear my mind is racing right now trying to figure out how I could et there and where I would stay! XDDDDD
I realized that I totally forgot to continue my New York posts. XDDD So I will now continue them! And I’ll update the previous posts with pics. XDD
DAY 3!!!
I woke up late on Day 3, so we had a spam brunch and then headed out. We stopped by Bloomingdales first (which I now fondly call Bloomies XDDDD) and once again my aunt shopped madly for clothes for me to wear. FINALLY, I found something that I really liked! So my aunt happily bought me two awesome DKNY sweaters (don’t worry!! They were on super sale and were much cheaper than you are actually probly thinking!!!) and then we went to Saks Fifth where I found an awesome hoody and bought that too! Yay! Then it was around 6pm when my uncle called to say that their friend had called to say that they were picking us up from our apartment at 7pm to take us out to dinner. My aunt got a bit distressed when she then found out that my uncle wasn’t actually in the department store and was three blocks down at Best Buy. XDDDDD We waited for him to get back to us then together we dashed madly to the subway, hopped on the 6 and got to the apartment 15 minutes late!!! Only to find that our friends were stuck in traffic. XDDDD When they finally picked us up, it was revealed that we were going to a restaurant in Long Island. Because it was a long way away, we happily chatted and joked in the car. Then one of our friends says, “I should’ve brought my son…”
Aunt M. (Mai-chan’s aunt): Yeah! You should’ve brought him along! We can’t pick him up on the way?
Friend: Noooo, he’s working tonight. Mai, how old are you?
Mai: (totally mystified as to how her age was related to the topic of conversation) Uhhh 22…O_o
Friend: Ohhhh, we could’ve paired you up…
Friend’s girlfriend: What are you saying! She probably has a boyfriend!!!
Friend: Well, do you????
Mai: (His name is Aiba!) Nope.
Aunt M. : Doesn’t your son have a girlfriend??
Friend: Nope! Oh what a wasted chance…-_-;;
Aunt M.: Awww, and your son is so nice too…Mai, he’s so funny!
Mai: Uhhh…okay.
Friend: The next time you come to New York, you guys can meet. It might be fate!
Mai: O_o
XDDDDDD It was so weird. XDDDD That was the second time that week where a family friend had tried to hook me up to one of their sons and then mentioned that it might’ve been fate! XDDDDDD I think it was fate that I didn’t meet them. XDDDD Anyhoo….
We end up at this restaurant called Minado’s. Which just happens to be a Japanese buffet. *Mai dances around in happiness*
I got to eat this lovely food:
UMAI YO!
Of course, the company was similarly awesome:
And randomly, there was an Asian dude who looked hot from afar XDDDD
But then he looked in my direction and I just…looked away. XDDDD
And thus… Day 3 ended. I was exhausted. Running across New York is definitely fun but inevitably tiring. XDDDD
SO YEAH.
While I was coming back form some Sunday shopping with my family, we were in the car and I was listening to Boku Ga Boku No Subete. And then my brother was saying something so I paused it to listen to him but then I ended up listening to the radio, which was Rick D’s Weekly Top 40. Rick D happened to be talking about global number one’s and this is what I hear…
“And from New Zealand, at number one we have Lady Gaga…Poker Face!”
*plays chorus*
“And from Japan…”
*Mai ignores brother and starts listening to radio wondering what American music Japanese people like*
“…the number one hit is by a group called Arashi…”
*Mai goes into shock*
*Beautiful Days starts playing*
*Mai starts flailing and then singing loudly along*
*chorus finishes*
“And that was Beautiful Days! By ARRRRRASHI”
*Mai continues singing the rest of the chorus and bridge*
XDDDDDDDDDDDD
BUT YEAH!!! I WAS FLAILING IN THE CAR ALL BY MYSELF WHILE MY AUNT AND MOM JUST SAT IN THE BACK NOT SAYING ANYTHING AND MY BROTHER HAD THIS LOOK ON HIS FACE THAT SAID “YOU-MAY-BE-RIDING-IN-THE-CAR-THAT-I’M-DRIVING-BUT-I-DON’T-ACTUALLY-KNOW-YOU (ANYMORE)” XDDDDDDDDDDDD
AND THEN I GOT HOME AND I RAN UPSTAIRS TO TELL MY FRIEND BECKY AND THE TIME IS NOW 3:29 PM SO I’VE BEEN FLAILING NON-STOP FOR ABOUT AN HOURRRRRR.
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D HEAR AN ARASHI SONG ON NORTH AMERICAN RADIO (it’s not as if they’re looking to do an international release any time soon or ever XDDDDD) I’M SO SERIOUSLY PSYCHHDDDDDDDDDDDDDD KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
K NOW I HAVE TO GO AND TELL EVERYONE I KNOW. JA NE!
