- Just join us and email/PM/YM this registration info to any of the organizers:
- Full name:
- Birthday:
- First fanmeet? (Y/N): If not, please indicate the number of times (that is you can still remember it.. Lolz~) you have attended Arashi fanmeets
- Ichiban:
- Email/s:
- Mobile Number/s:
- What do you want to have/experience on this party? Please don't hesitate to put in all (and I mean ALL) your thoughts. We want to make the event memorable AND special to all Arashi fans (regardless of the group/community they belong to).. We (the organizers) will TRY our very best to meet your expectations of the party ^_^
- Will you be staying overnight? (Y/N):
- To Minors (17 & below): PARENTS' CONSENT! As in letter or note (with parents' signature) or email or text message (from parents) or have your parents CALL me to affirm that you are allowed to attend~ Why? Continue reading to item 6 for our reason..
- Attendance (there won't be any party if there are no attendees so please do come *doggy eyes* )
- We are accepting early comers so for those who will come as early as 1PM or 2PM, we assure you that you won't be bored since we have activities lined up for the early birds.
- On the other hand, minna.. Please do come in time.. Lolz~
- This is an overnight event but it doesn't mean guests are REQUIRED to stay overnight. We decided to make the event overnight for fans who came from really far places (Baguio, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan, etc.). This is for safety reasons. Instead of commuting home late at night, why not go home early the next day? =p Overnight stay is open but not required for all guests.
- Please do continue to check this post until the date of the said event. We will be posting updates here timely.
- To Minors (17 and below): PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (repeats 10000x) DO NOT SNEAK OUT OF YOUR HOMES NOR LIE TO YOUR PARENTS JUST TO ATTEND THE EVENT! As much as we want fangirls to come, we (as organizers and one-chans) still don't approve of you guys sneaking out or telling lies to your parents just to attend the event. Why? It gives Arashi fandom AND Arashi negative impression to parents.. Ask nicely and if they need people to contact, PM me and I'll be more than willing to talk to your parents. I'll even give them my contact details just to assure that you guys are in safe hands.. Us asking for parents' consent is just a way to show respect to your parents and a way of making them feel ensured that their children are in safe hands.. Again.. DO NOT LIE OR SNEAK OUT!!! *palo*
- Please help us to spread the word through forums, blogs, sites, YM, etc. Feel free to bring your Arashi fan friends too ^-^

Title: Snapshot
Status: On-going
Pairings/Characters: Arashi, OCs, JunxJo (OC)
Summary:
In time for the Valentines Season, Sakura magazine, a magazine which was directly aimed for female readers, was once again in search for gorgeous bodies to conquer their covers. This time, Arashi was graced for the said shoot and as if by fate, Sakura went out from their usual choice of photographer and hired Jo Sashika for the job. Note here: Jo is a professional photographer who graduated with honors in France, meaning the way Jo works in very unusual with those Arashi worked with. Frank and brutally straight are the exact words which can describe Jo and to add some fuel into the conflict, Jo simply can't get along with MatsuJun.. Can Arashi handle the pressure?

Status: On-going
Pairings/Characters: Arashi, OCs, NinoxLui (fan OC)
Summary:
She was a student taking up arts as a major. The moment when she met him was pure accident.. She was a fan and thought that this chance is something that 'destiny' whipped up for her. He was an idol.. Fame, looks, personality he had it all.. But he was totally taken aback (or maybe by surprise) that there's one fan who is willing to go against all odds for him.. It made him happy but at the same time annoyed him because wherever he turns, she was there.. Will Nino be able to 'firsthand' understand the meaning of the quote: "You'll never know the importance of someone unless he/she disappears from you.."

We all know that from the most recent bout, Pacquio won over Cotto. I'm not too sure if you guys noticed it but by this time, most of us SHOULD (or supposed to) be talking about Pacquiao's success.. But then, most news and headlines talked about Pacquiao's supposed to be affair with Krista Ranillo..
Everytime Pacquio wins and returns to Philippines, the government would prepare a welcome party (with motorcade and parade) for him. My mom and I were talking about Pacquiao's motorcade which will pass by Luneta today. This is our conversation.. Noon at Ngayon version:
Mom: Agahan mo uwi mo ah.. Baka traffic.. Motorcade ni Pacquiao ngayon..
Lei: Uu nga pala noh.. Ano oras parade niya? Baka makasilip kami..
[and the conversation goes on about how Pacman won the fight, etc]
*in a "GOIN' BULILIT VOICE"* NGAYON:
Mom: Agahan mo uwi mo ah.. Baka traffic.. Motorcade ni Pacquiao ngayon..
Lei: Uu nga pala noh.. SINO KASAMA NIYA? JINKY O KRISTA?
[and the conversation goes on with laughter and gossip talks]
It's my first time going to Manila Ocean Park and I felt like a kid XD I'm not too much into fishes.. I don't have the interest in taking care of them.. I only have interest in eating them >_< *hides from Riida* I've been to Hong Kong Ocean Park before so I wasn't expecting much on Manila Ocean Park demo.. Personally, I can say it's something we (Filipinos) can be proud of ^-^ Before I start, all pics are taken using my Samsung D980 phone, so please don't expect pics with high resolutions and since I'm not a photographer, don't expect images with spectacular shots =p
Manila Ocean Park is situated just behind the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta. The Oceanarium is situated overlooking the Manila Bay. We all know how clean *sarcastic roll of eyes* Manila Bay is but the water used for the whole Oceanarium is acquired from the bay. As per the guide, the water is purified to meet the temperature requirement of the marine creatures to survive and adapt. For more info about the place, feel free to visit their MAIN SITE and WIKI
Manila Oceam Park (MOP) is divided into several sections: (1) Agos/Flow – a rainforest motif complete with 8 tanks of freshwater fishes. (2) Bahura/The Reef – exhibition of artificial corals in 48 tanks. (3) Laot/Fishing Ground – features big fish and Eagle-spotted rays in a long tank. (4) Buhay na Karagatan/Living Ocean – the main attraction of the oceanarium is a 25-meter long walkway tunnel with 220-degree curved acrylic walls. (5) Kalaliman/The Deep - showcases marine animals found in the deepest parts Philippine waters. (6) Pagi/Sting Ray – variety of rays fly over while you're under this unique Overhang Tank. (7) Pating/Shark – features several species of shark. As soon as we got into the Ocenarium, we immediately checked out the aquariums. The place is clean and they made it look like the fishes are living in natural environment. The aquariums are not as huge as the ones in Hong Kong Ocean Park but again, welcome to Philippines =p And here's Agos/Flow section.
Here are some pics from Laot/Fishing Ground. The pics are quite dark since I didn't used flash inside the place.. Huge (and I mean huuuuge) fishes are housed here. Look at the cute color-changing chairs.. Lolz~
I've piled up Buhay na Karagatan/Living Ocean, Kalaliman/The Deep, Pagi/Sting Ray and Pating/Shark areas into one pic post ^-^ The mermaid show can be seen from this area but it's better to actually see it in their special viewing room ^-^
To those who have seen Aiba's TSD when he went to Philippines, remember that vehicle he saw while on his way to Malabon Zoo? Not the one he rode but the one he pointed at.. It's the most common public vehicle here in Philippines which we call "Jeepney".
After lunch, we headed for the Jellyfish exhibit which they called "Jellies: The Dancing Sea Fairies".. An exhibit full of jellyfish and we got a dose of Last Song Syndrome (LSS) with Canon.. Lolz~
And finally.. The Mermaid Show.. The show was done in a special viewing room with this aquarium. The mermaids, of course, gets to perform with the fishes, including a shark (which looks like a cross breed of sting ray and shark) and sting rays..
The Four Magdalenas of the Sea.. I adore the red/maroon one ^-^
And our Ocenarium trip is complete ^-^ We then decided to walk through the Chinese Garden in Luneta Park.. It's been eon years since I last visited the park.. I last went to Chinese Garden when I was 7 years old I think.. Here are some pics of Chinese Garden and some sights inside Luneta Park
Various pics of Ram and me ^-^

We were then lead inside to view more aquariums.. Hey.. It's an Oceanarium.. What can we expect but marine lives, fish. fish and more fish ^0^ Here's some pics from Laot/Fishing Ground ^-^ Doesn't that crab looks soooo familiar? =p

Ram got this additional coupon where we can avail one of their attractions for free. We chose the Underwater Boat Ride over Fish SPA (where they have this small fished eat the dirt off your foot.. Remember the AnS episode where they had little fishes in an aquarium/bowl and Arashi got to dip their faces into it and their faces are nipped by little fishes? That's the one, only in MOP, you get to dip your feet in..) since we thought that we get to ride on this boat-thingy and go underwater with the fishes demo we got it wrong~ Lolz~ We did rode a boat but we were not submerged underwater. The boat had an acrylic mirror at the bottom where you can see the fishes. Think of going snorkeling, only you're riding a boat >_<

Since the Filipinos are celebrating Pacquiao's win over Cotto last Sunday, and most are getting ready for the Twilight Sage: New Moon fever, I bring thee, Idward Kallen XD Don't kill me Twilight fans.. I just find this amusing =p
@Filipino readers: Since super pogi na tingin ng karamihan kay Pacquiao, itaas natin ng konti yung level, korek? Looolz~
And from the Lord of
His actual picture. More info about him from our online know-it-all buddy, WIKI and ABKD@Wordpress
Yes.. After putting my foot down and saying "NO!" to having my own twitter account, I find TUMBLR quite amusing and refreshing.. The themes are really cool though I'm still learning the ropes, the tumblr way. So far I learned how to post, to follow, to install theme and to customize.. Yay me~ Lolz~
To those who read my posts on Vox and LJ, don't worry.. I won't be leaving both blogs.. I'll be hitting my head for setting up another account to maintain cross-posting most of what I have in tumblr.
To those who have their accounts on tumblr, please do inform me so I can stalk follow you ^-^ Please do visit me on tumblr ^-^ Ja mata ne~
*Sho sharing that he asked her mom to cook dinner for him when he got home and his mom's watching Maou*Yes~ It's Japanese cuisine once again with me and my merienda (turned dinner and shopping that night) buddy, Drei *applause* We went to Robinsons Ermita that night in an attempt to search for stockings, accessories and my shoes for a certain event tonight. I suggested that we try "Tempura Japanese Grill".
Jun: "Mama, tabetai desu~"
Nino: "Hambaga daiyou~"
*Sho denying while the audience are having the time of their lives.. Lucky people..*
I was able to taste their dishes 4 times already.. (1) Food trip/Arashi meet-up with Jemmz and Abie; (2) Dinner with Ram; (3) Post-ASW event flailing (4) With Mareng Drei. Their prices are within the range on Tokyo-Tokyo and I love their sushis and makis. I love their dishes (except for chili mabo tofu)
The interior of TEMPURA sports a totally cozy interior and have that modern metro-Japanese feel.. I just hope they didn't place the wall divisions quite tall since we can't see the counter.. Lolz~ On 2 different scenarios with 2 different people, Jemz (food trip buddy 1.. Around October I think) and Drei (food trip buddy 2.. Just yesterday) kept waving to get the waiter's attention for the bill.. They kept waving and as I checked, the waiter's not there.. Lolz~
During my first visit with Abie and Jemmz, we had Ebi Salad Maki, Tori Teppanyaki (I hope I got this right) and Curry Omu-rice. Ebi Salad Maki is mecha oishii~
Abie and I ordered Curry omu (omelet) rice. The curry rice had a strong after taste. If you don't like curry much, I suggest that you don't try it. I'm surprised with the size of the omu rice though.. It's good for 2 people if you're not much of an eater =p
Jemmz ordered Tori Teppan.. Tastes like chicken since it's chicken >_< You can never go wrong with Teppanyaki <3
Last night, Drei and I shared on a Gyu Asupara Maki. Too bad their Ebi Bacon Maki isn't available =( Personally, I liked their Gyu Asupara ^-^

For drinks, Drei had their refillable Lemon Iced Tea while I decided to try on Banana Nut Shake.. It tasted like.. Banana Chocnut shake.. Honestly! I love the taste though =p But if you asked me, it's more of a dessert than a beverage >_<
Drei and I ordered Chili Mabo Tofu and Tendon. I was delighted with my choice but I won't say it's the same with Drei =(
I ordered Tendon. It's a mix of tempura and.. Is it kakiage? I really can't remember >_< For all I know, it's ebi tempura with strips of sweet potatoes/potatoes tempura >_<
Drei ordered Chili Mabo Tofu. So sorry mare that I wasn't able to inform you what mabo tofu's like >_< As they say.. "Parang inulam mo yung taho".. I like mabo tofu but this one doesn't suit my taste..
So, if you have time, please do drop by TEMPURA JAPANESE GRILL and try their dishes. They also offer yakiniku to those who want to have a "grilling" experience. Their friendly crew will always wait with a ready smile ^_^

We call this area/tomb "Tho Ti Kong" or as what Chinese believed, God. We offer "Kim" (not the teen actress), "Hiu" (simply pinch your nose while saying this and you'll get the right pronunciation) and food offerings.
"Kim" is what we call as money offering to the dead. Don't ask me why the dead needs money.. "Kim" literally means "Gold" in Chinese (Fookien). They are yellowish/goldish/brownish papers with gold paper in the middle. We also place those colorful papers over the tomb. Some say those colorful papers serves as another form of money for the dead. Some say they add colors and festivities to the place wherever our departed ones are.
It's common for Chinese to offer foods, along with "Kim" and "Hiu" to the tombs. The "Kim" (those non-colorful ones) are then burned. The burning process is like the sending process of the money to the dead. Talk about money transfer.. Lolz~ We waited for 30 minutes to an hour before burning the "Kim". This time is said to be the time needed for the dead to eat all that we have offered them. What do we do with the food offerings afterwards? We either give them to the cemetery caretakers or take them home, wait a week or so then eat them >.< Some Chinese leave them inside the cemetery instead.
Offering table inside my grandparent's mausoleum.
The place where we burn the "monetary" offerings. Each mausoleum have their own burning area but since ours not 'that' clean, I took a picture of the cemetery's public burning area.
The image of what an Apartment-type tombs would look like. This is where they keep all cremated remains.
This is the place where they do the cremating process.
As per my dad, this is an area for the departed ones who are Buddhist.
Some mausoleum inside the cemetery.
Camera tripping since Chinese cemetery >_<

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger typically attaches a message to bills he signs or vetoes telling lawmakers why he took the action.
A Democratic assemblyman who heckled the governor during a recent event in San Francisco actually received two messages: the veto letter itself and a not-so-subtle rebuke creatively hidden within it.
