I'm scattered like sakura falling off the tree and across Kenshin's face

[jemz]

A few things.

♥ Drinks

These are some of the things I've been imbibing in great quantities as of late (to sorta make up for my lack of appetite for solid food)


Pom Tea ~ Yummy. Healthy. Comes in all sorts of flavors and you can keep the container as a glass! With a lid! Yes, I'm easily amused and these are my new water glasses for whenever I feel the urge to drink around 8 oz all in one go without having to keep going to the watercooler for more. It's very handy at work too. Too bad it doesn't hold hot tea very well. Ouch. *blows on hand*

MetroMint ~ Oh HAY. MINT WATER. What a concept! If I wasn't so lazy, I would infuse water with all sorts of things, including mint. But since I am horribly lazy, I would fork over money for a refreshing bottle of Mint Water. Yes. I love/adore/love mint. And anything with mint. And any type of mint. I like the Lemon Mint Water that they sell here at work. Which reminds me. I need to poke rightsock in making infused vodka. I wonder if I would be the only one drinking mint vodka. :3

Jamba Juice ~ I JAMBA. DO YOU? Love their smoothies. When I'm feeling not so hungry but need a healthy sugar boost, I go to Jamba Juice for a small smoothie and Pirate's Booty. Yup. You heard me. Pirate's BOOTY. I crave it every time I go and get myself a smoothie.



♥ Asian Boy Bands you should check out. (i.e. Pimp Posts!)


w-inds. (Japanese) ~ One of my ultimate and favorite loves. The members are Chiba Ryohei (Leader), Tachibana Keita, and Ogata Ryuichi. Ryohei pwning the dance floor with his l337 breakdancing skills, Keita's attempts at a ghetto booty dance and looking sexy with a mic, Ryuichi rockin' out and being a fidgety dork, all three of them flailing around and acting like goofballs during the encores with rainbow afros, failed kamehamea, flapping pink pig wings, and other assorted props. How can you not love the utter dorkiness! Plus, only THREE people to know the names of. Easy, right?

Dong Bang Shin Ki/Tohoshinki (DBSK/DBSQ/THSK/WHATEVER THAT HOT GROUP IS CALLED!) (Korean/Japanese)~ One of my other fast growing loves. *___* The five members are U-Know Yunho (Leader), Max Changmin, Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu. They are all insanely good at singing and their company is strange for making them put international/stagenames in front of their real names. In Japan, they just use their real names. Internationally, they use the stagenames while in Korea, they would say the full thing. Weird, I know BUT they are pretty and beautiful singers. I am a sucker for a cappella. which is why i love Shai and Boys II Men and Rockapella. Yes. Them. Shuttup. Did I mention, they're goodlooking? But really, I like their music and not just their photobooks!!

ARASHI (Japanese) ~ the ONLY JE group in which I love all the members and know their names/faces unlike the others in all their uber-dorky glory. There are five members: Ohno Satoshi (Leader), Aiba Masaki, Ninomiya Kazunari, Matsumoto Jun, and Sakurai Sho. Their songs are upbeat and catchy even if I only like bits and pieces of their discography but their shows are highly entertaining and they are all so cute to the grandparents on Mago Mago Arashi. They are also highly talented and are definately one of my favorite groups. No, actually talking to Aiba Masaki does not boost my love for this group. My love for them is already high and free-floating.

Super Junior (SuJu) (Korean) ~ Remember when I kept emphasizing the number of members in the other groups? Yeah. SuJu has THIRTEEN members: Eeteuk (Leader), Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Ryeowook, Sungmin, Yesung, Siwon, Kibum, Kyuhyun, and Hankyung. Yes, I typed that without cheating. :-P But anyways, they are addicting like Arashi in the fact that they do shows, dj, sing, dance, and act insanely goofy on said shows and I just really like hot, dorky guys who can sing. Really. *bats innocent eyes* This group can be confusing because of the sheer size they totally pwn NewS and Kanjani8 in numbers and the fact that they break down into smaller groups to do things. For example, K.R.Y (consisting of Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung) sings more of the power ballads a la Fly to the Sky while Super Junior T (consisting of Eeteuk, Kangin, Shindong, Heechul, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk) do more of the upbeat songs in Trot style (something similar to Enka music in Japanese or folk music). But yeah. They are highly entertaining and huge dorks. They are also close to DBSK (since Xiah Junsu and Eunhyuk are best friends from elementary school). But yes, definately worth checking out!

There are so many others but I need to find their pimp posts or create them. Next time!



♥ Lip Gloss. Because I'm worth it. :-P


MAC Lip Glass ~ I love, love, love, love MAC's LipGlass collection. I have so many. I love that they are a bit glittery or more matted or more sexy-feeling. Just yeah. *_*

Christian Dior's Diorshow Gloss Show ~ kenaressa got me addicted to this and now I adore it. Granted, my best friend also tried to get me into it but expensive cosmetics aren't my thing if I already got a similar color for cheaper (i.e. MAC!)

C. O. Bigelow's Ultra Mentha Lip Shine ~ I like how this makes my lips all shiny and glossy and tingly with mint all at once. One of my all-time favorites for every day use. Not sticky at all and I really do like the tingling feeling.

Goldie Mini Lip Gloss ~ Not only is it the same name of my favorite online people but it's made by the creators of Hard Candy. It's a smooth lip gloss and smells like yummy vanilla. It soothes my senses every time I wear it and I like the mini one for the shape and size. It fits into my tiny purses!

DuWop's Lip Venom ~ Another one of my all-time favs, it was introduced to me by my bff's sister. Again, it tingles a lot and sorta plumps up the lips. But really, I just like the tingly feeling, the glittery gloss, and the shiny.

Cargo's Lip Gloss Duo ~ Usually, I like my lip gloss in tubes but I fell in love with Cargo's lipgloss tins. I like mixing and matching colours even though I'm fairly simplistic in my makeup application (i.e. LAZY)

Aveda's Lip Shine ~ One of my new favorite lip glosses. I discovered this while helping my best friend get her makeup done at Aveda for some ideas of what sort of makeup to wear on her wedding day. I loved the smooth feel of it and the scent. It wears off a bit quickly for my taste but I like pairing it with a lip pencil (*gasp* I know, I never wear lip pencils but for this one I do!). I'm addicted to this one for the colour and the major gloss. *___*



♥ Some nice bridge accoutrements in Harajuku.




Yay! Eye candy!



♥ Song Lyrics.


I love reading the translations of the songs I'm listening to. I like some of the deeper meanings of various songs (Rising Sun by DBSK, Serious aka Sagitarous by Da Pump, Fan by Epik High, Care by Akanshi Jin to name a few.)

Here's one of my favorite phrases from Pieces by w-inds.

one piece of your need is the key to be free
keep, what you believe and see
one piece of your heart you know your brave heart
hold it, and take it soft

Idk. I feel more positive whenever I read song lyrics. even if i fail at being c-mart at poetry and all things lyrical.



Hmmmm...I had more points to put in but I spent a good chunk of my morning on this and will continue it another day.

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOL over the bridge decor.

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

mmm...yes, they are quite nice to drool over!

ilu2!

[happiestwhen.livejournal.com]

I am inordinately excited to go to Harajuku. It sounds fabulous and so much fun!! And ... very pretty. ~_^

Also, I keep looking at the yahoo!japan auctions for DBSK concert tickets... I would just have to go a week earlier than planned........ fjlsadkjkjfl fucking Asia. Too many tempting things. *bites nails*

AND SO MANY SUJU PICTURES I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. Those pimp posts are all awesome!! *bookmarks* I actually now have two w-inds songs... that's two more than I used to have! I expect I'll increase my collection after getting through that post. XD

Am feeling sort of spazzy right now. And a smoothie sounds really really good.

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

I loved Harajuku! So many fun places to go shopping in and all those IDOL SHOPS. *_* Including the official JE Shop.

al;kdfj;alkjf;af I WANT TO GO TO DBSK'S CONCERT! *_____* Take me with youuuuuuuuu.


AND SUJU PICTURES FOR THE W-IN!!!! I need to collect them all and then organize them into neat folders so I can spam others! I love the pimp posts! They are so entertaining and draws you deeper into boybands that you didn't know about and then you can't live without!

As for more w-inds. songs, you can always check out shinigamitabris's awesome w-inds. site, Super Lover (http://www.super-lover.net/frameset.html) for ALL your w-inds. needs (songs, vids, stuff, etc). I enjoy pimping her site out since she is THE bnf in w-inds. fandom for sharing her super HQ scans of anything w-inds. that she owns. and trust me, she owns A LOT OF IT. I had to lug some of it home from Japan!

I am pretty spazzy right now. I had a smoothie and it is YUMMY. *_*

[honooko.livejournal.com]

MATSUJUN IS :< THAT HE WAS LEFT OUT IN THE MEMBER NAMING. SINCE HE LOVES ARASHI THE MOSTEST.

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

i am bad and stuck him back in!

JUN LOVES ARASHI LOTS. HE CAN SPANK ME FOR FORGETTING. :3

[shikishi.livejournal.com]

I adore Venom.

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

it's so addicting and I find myself going one of those every two months. Then I frantically go and buy more.

:D

ghfhgghdf TWO DRINKS THAT ARE ON MY LIST OF THINGS TO TRY SOMETIME. In my opinion, drinks > food. I have a billion (or... not) favorite drinks, but it is hard for me to name foods that I like on the same scale :/
I'm pretty sure I know where I can get Pom tea, but where do you buy your Metromint? I've only heard of it from one other person before, but I don't remember if they mentioned where they got it...
Also things I want to try someday: those crazy Japanese drinks from Suntory & others, like Gokuri, and that orange flavor drink which I can never remember the name of!

I haven't tried all their flavors yet, but my favorite at JJ so far is the Orange Dreamsicle (I think that was the name?). :9

I try to steer myself clear of huge groups (SuJuSuJuSuJuSuJu), because as my first impression, they were a group basing themselves mostly on looks than on actual talent, hding their okay-ish voices in the 'guise of a 13-member chorus, but more and more people are listening to them, and raving on and on~ I guess I'll have to check them out (as in, look into their music xD) sometime, though...

...*skipped lip gloss section*

The middle guy has the oddest glare in your direction xD

Pieces always makes me cry, for some reason. Izayoi puts me in a really sentimental mood, Shiki makes me pine for the old days, and that's just the tip of it; reason why I keep skipping it whenever it comes up on the randomizer in itunes :S The play count for most of them is 1 or 0, even though I love those songs... WHY AM I SO WEAK OF HEART? :S

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

OMG. THEY ARE SO YUMMY. lajf;alkdfa;lfj YOU MUST TRY THEM!!!!!!

MetroMint I buy at work because one of the VPs loves it and had the company stock the product in Corporate headquarters. So I was curious one day and bought it. Totally fell in love. :3

OHHHHH! Those drinks are pretty yummy. :3

And Orange Creamsicle is yummy too. I tend to stick with Mango a go go since I adore mango. But they're all really good!

SUJU SUJU SUJU SUJU SUJU SUJU SUJU!!!!!!! YOU MUST WATCH THEM! They are very pretty but they are all talented. DBSK trained with them before they were formed and are all such darlings. I love watching some of the SuJu members dance. Some of them could rival Ryohei if Ryohei did pop&locking rather than breakdance. But the three best dancers (ShinDong, HanKyung, and EunHyuk) are really good. Shindong and Eunhyuk were grooving to BoogieWoogie66 when w-inds. performed it for the KMNet awards last year. *______*

They all have fairly distinct voices but we all have favorites and some of them are really beautiful singers. I like some of their music but so far, their discography doesn't strike me as "MUST HAVE IMMEDIATELY" unlike w-inds. and dbsk did to me.

hahaha. Don't you want LIP GLOSS? I know Ryohei wears clear lip gloss and/or chapstick. :3

I know!!! I just looked up at the bridge and pretended to take a pic of it. :3

I adore Pieces. Then I loved it even more when both Tabs and Andi said they didn't like it. :x I adore Shiki. Adore it soooo much. There isn't any that I really skip except for New Generation. But you should play them!!!!! WHY SO WEAK? LET w-inds. SHOW YOU THE WAY!

:3

[melblue122.livejournal.com]

I WILL. ONCE I FIND THEM. I WILL.

I love mint anything, so I MUST.

Hm.. I don't really like pineapple things, so I avoided it because it had pineapple sherbert... Mango's one of my three favorites, though (+strawberry, +orange)

AHAH-- so that's who they were-- I saw them pan over various audience members, most of who looked bored/ slighly interested, and then two guys moving to the music in their seats xD

Ryo's lips are so shiny xDDD

xD Voyeur (I know I've done the same on a few occaissons ;P)

[rightsock.livejournal.com]

Which reminds me. I need to poke rightsock in making infused vodka. I wonder if I would be the only one drinking mint vodka.

consider me poked. what does one need to do? just fill a bottle with vodka and mint and wait?

Jamba Juice ~ Love their smoothies.

and it's easy to make your own (http://rightsock.com/~kjw/Food/smoothies.html). I used to have a blender at work to make my own. however, it requires that you have a fridge and freezer on premises.

[swtjemz.livejournal.com]

umm....*pokes* I think the book I got you for your birthday has some recipes! We can look through that and make something!

Hmmm...sadly, work has no blender, fridge, or freezer. ;_;
