Since when did I rack up so many points with CDJapan? I haven’t bought anything from them in a while…
Anyway, along with that spring coupon, shipping is only ¥1,100! Good deals! XDD

Now, the only problem is EMS. I have to figure how to stay home and wait for the package on that day ^^”

I went over to Amazon, they haven’t posted any link for Koi Uta/PROGRESS yet. Never mind. What caught me off guard was One! DVD.

60% off at Amazon

¥2,800 (¥2,743 w/o tax)

60-freaking-percent off! Is this even legal? ><

Now, people definitely have NO excuse not to get this darn good DVD!! Be a good employee and go get it if you haven’t done so already!!!!! GO GO GO!!!!

Just curious about Kimi ga Kureta Natsu. Is NTV going to release this DVD at all?

Did they even release Yuuki from 2006? And what is the SP drama for 2005? Was Chichi no Umi, Boku no Sora the last DVD they released for 24hr TV SP drama?

*confused* +__+ .. help~

 

Surprise! I’m still working on this travelogue. LOL In fact, I was thinking about dropping this new year resolution already. But once I saw some pictures from Enbujou-Love pamphlet, I changed my mind.

Tono at Miyajima.

For crying out loud, how could I not finish this report? xD

So, here we go! Douzo!

 

Day 4: Nara

 

Day 5: Kyoto

 

Day 6: Himeji

 

Day 7: Miyajima

Other than that, life was pretty crazy for the past 2 weeks. So many things have been going on lately. I’m exhausted. But happy though. LOL

Also, the news of T&T new single KoiUta brightened up my day! ^___^

I listened to the ripped version from Osen the other day and really like it already. T&T Ballad is ♥

PROGRESS is interesting. My first impression was that it’s going to be a story about them, kinda going forward together, something like that ^^ I sure hope this will be a fierce dance track with a lot of ero moves xD

Let’s see if the CD will come in heart-shape for the Koi version ;)

Can’t wait for June 4th! Please let KoiUta PV be their pink world!

ps. Takki’s CM kills me! SO CUTE!!!! KYAAAAAA!!

Last but not the least: OTSUKARESAMA DESHITA, TONO~~~~~~

 

Watched The Right Stuff last night. The movie was a little over 3 hours. At first, I thought I’d fall asleep in no time ^^” But less than 10 minutes into the film, I giggled my butt off during the scene where those officers were trying to get Chuck Yeager to break the sound barrier for the first time. They asked him how much he wanted, but Yeager replied that the Air Force already paid him. So, someone asked how much did they pay him. And the other officer there answered: $283.

wait a second *pauses* *skips back*

$283/month.

ROFL! Thank you Wing-san! Believe it or not, this magic number kept me awake for the next 3 hours! In fact, it’s a very nice movie, I really enjoyed it ^^

Yuki-chan!!!

I forgot I pre-ordered this DVD!! I thought I only added it to wishlist so I can order it together with the next single. ^^” This week was so busy that I didn’t even bother to check my email when I came home so I missed the shipping confirmation from Amazon on Wednesday and just saw it this morning. Scrambling for my phone, I called FedEx to hold my package and went to pick it up during lunch break ^^

Holy COW!!! The packaging is soooooooooooo gorgeous!!!

Opening the package was a little tricky, but I managed to save the shrink wrap! YAY!

The slipcase is a silver based metallic kind of paper (dang, what’s it called? ><) Very elegant and kira kira~

Two DVDs come in a very nice tri-fold case. The pocket on the left side holds a super high quality full color 12-page booklet. Great picture selection. Avex Art Department, please go learn how to properly work on a DVD booklet from NHK!!! No kidding!!

2 discs, the one with Yuki-chan pix is actually disc 1 in the middle, Yama-kun is disc 2 (extra) on the right side of the tri-fold case, but I switched it around for photo purpose ^^”

I’d never bought anything from NHK before so when I opened the package, I was totally blown away. GORGEOUS! Everything is so high quality, and I can totally tell that they actually paid attention to details. Very professionally done.

I can say that NHK loves Takki xD

Mini thoughts (aka spoilers) behind cut.

It’s been a stressful week, even a happy-go-lucky me couldn’t deal with it too well v__v; I wasn’t stressed out, but I felt so exhausted by too many stupid things.

Anyway, the news of T&T new single helps. Whether the single is going to be Ai Uta or Koi Uta XD

And *BEAMS* weeeheeeee FINALLY!!!! ^____________^

Two months ago, I bought this DVD from one of the girls in a Thai T&T forum, of course, she sent it to my house in Thailand. My family has a habit of not sending stuff to me no matter how I bug them, as they usually wait until I go back home to get them myself or till when they come over to visit each year. This time, it’s the latter~

Last year, I tried to hunt down this DVD in Yahoo! Auction but had to give up several times after the price reached ¥15,000 (once witnessed closing price at ¥38,000 +__+ that’s half a round trip ticket to Japan already!!!). You have no idea how thrilled I was when I saw a post in the forum trying to sell it at an almost-no-markup price, I almost did a backflip! XDD

Yes, I’ve watched this concert so many times before, but having the official DVD in my hands sure gives a different feeling!

Plus, Tsu in a bathrobe was sooooo cute! XDDD

 

Town & Country Resort
San Diego, CA
March 13-15, 2008

I got a chance to go down to San Diego last month for the 19th Annual International Women in Aviation Conference. The trip made me rethink about a lot of things. It’s definitely an eye opener for me.

Women in Aviation, International (WAI) is a non-profit organization, dedicated to providing educational, training, mentoring and networking opportunities to women (and men) in aviation and aerospace industries. WAI began in 1990, and currently has more than 15,000 members around the world.

This year conference, which included a wide range of activities like workshops, clinics, seminars, education sessions, general sessions with keynote speakers, special events, silent auctions, etc., happened to be the biggest one ever, with more than 3300 attendees and 150+ separate companies and organizations on display in the exhibition hall, representing all aspects of aviation community.

There’s a lot of women (and some men) in uniforms, they looked sooooooo cool and very well-composed. Also, a huge amount of women in older generation, seriously they’re really old, but I bet my bank account they still kick ass! XD

Long entry ahead. Stop here if you’re in a hurry, otherwise, enjoy! ^^
