y0, long time no talk!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Well the good news is that I'm still here on LJ! I haven't gone anywhere permanent although I do have a DW account (creatively named jemz if you want to find me! :D ) that can be accessed at work.

Anime Central was a lot of fun and very, very different from my experiences at FanimeCon but in a really good way! I was treated like guest royalty and even did some work for the concert. Then came all the drinking! Man, people in Chicago sure like their drinks! ;-)

FanimeCon was a huge success! The MusicFest concert was utterly fantastic and I'm a huge fan of Matsushita Yuya and a bigger fan of FLOW's. Also, gotta brush up on my dancing skills for the Black & White Ball. Everything went really well despite some hiccups which is totally normal.

I had a pretty good rest over the last two months. But I think it's about time I should announce a huge life change. Well, it's not exactly huge but a pretty major one. :D

But I'm no longer single!

As in........I GOT MARRIED. :D


So, um, how's your summer so far? ;-)

Hello LJ. It's been a while!

Oh hey, look who is online again!? Yup. That's right. ME!!! *happy dance*

Which isn't to say that I haven't exactly been without internet connection since I last posted in the warm lobby of the Hilton Seattle where I was enjoying Sakura-Con with some fantastic friends and making new ones. I've had internet......on my blackberry (aka Shige-Dex). I just haven't had time to make a post!

So what's new/happening/exciting in my life in the past two weeks?

I'm so glad you asked! )

So. How are you doing this fine spring? :D Less hectic than me, I hope. One day soon I will actually comment on your posts! Promise!

I'm off to go to the strip clubs in SF with some friends!

After a crazy, stressful week, I am in need of some R&R. Or just a whole lotta fun. But I must admit that my makeup is totally fierce tonight. I'm thinking of you, [livejournal.com profile] koneho. <3

I had something to say. Like how today is a new chapter in our history. That hope is springing from everyone during these really dark times and that we all need to hold together and stay strong to our ideals. That things will get better. Believe!

Or like how today was a ton of fun with Peyton & Liz & Daichi with dinner and karaoke. How it was fun to sing DBSK, JE, and w-inds. songs at the awesome Japanese karaoke. And that plans were made to drag MousaPi, Clare, Koyamamamama, & Shabz for a session or two whenever they come to see me. catface

But I'm sort of wrapped up in staring at Jaejoong. Who's so incredibly gorgeous in this picture.



I think I should start working on a Jaejoong pimp post as soon as this week's social festivities are over. *_________* Because everyone needs to love Jaejoong as much as I do.

quick synopsis of my week!

It's been a hectic week filled with fun!

Last Thursday I flew to Los Angeles to help out with Anime Los Angeles. Met some awesome people! [livejournal.com profile] hazelchaz, [livejournal.com profile] ala_mokita, Pearl, Patrick, and Evan! Was drinking every night of the weekend with the last three and [livejournal.com profile] seshat! Twas fab! Also managed to get myself some lovely minions by the names of [livejournal.com profile] karinberry, [livejournal.com profile] koneho, and Steve. LOL. Fantastic times. I've never really had minions before but they were so awesome and I love them all. And Kon is absolutely adorable...just like [livejournal.com profile] karinberry had told me! :D I also may have accepted a promotion. STOP LAUGHING. It'll be less stress! Or so I'm told! :D Way less people than Fanime!

Also, [livejournal.com profile] kenaressa is coming back down for Fanime! SO EXCITED!!!!

Then it was back to work and try to do Fanime prep all week for the meeting on Sunday. I flailed over hot, hot Jin pictures and made a date with [livejournal.com profile] nihongofrancais to pick me up from the airport on Sunday.

Because I'm flying down to LA again on Saturday morning for the wrap up meeting for Anime LA. Meetings all day long. Then fly back the next morning in time for Fanime meetings all day long. Yup, a weekend full of meetings! I'm so far behind on being organized! D:

On top of that, I caught a chest cold. I'm mostly over it but am slightly congested and slept a LOT yesterday. About 15 hours worth. Took a small nap today. I'm totally bringing a ton of cough meds and tea with me down south. Or as I told Evan, who also caught a cold, I'm bringing the herbal tea, he's bringing the drugs. XD Am currently blogging while watching [livejournal.com profile] rightsock, [livejournal.com profile] damiri, [livejournal.com profile] yzo, and [livejournal.com profile] rogue_ravnos all play Rock Band 2.

It's all great fun just hanging out and I wish my new friends from So.Cali was up here with me to rock out. Of course, I'll see Steve again on Sunday and tease him horribly....just for Kon. But a weekend of meetings....joy. Anyone up for some sake afterwards?

Edit: [livejournal.com profile] rogue_ravnos is liquoring me up quite nicely! :D I've got an x-rated drink in hand. YUM.

Last night, I

~ had a great dinner with fantastic friends
~ teased [livejournal.com profile] karberry's husband. He has a new nickname of "NICKLE KITTY"
~ was sad that Mike and [livejournal.com profile] karberry didn't feel well enough to go out to the Castro.
~ made a face at my phone's dying battery
~ danced my tush off
~ got hit by an ugly man who was nowhere near as good looking with a hook nose as Alan Rickman. And really, a velvet jacket in a club full of hot, gyrating bodies? -_-
~ got super tipsy! 2 double shots of Patron, some horribly strong Cap'n Morgan and Coke, half of something else, a blueberry kamikaze shot with an adorable and flirty bar boy (taken without hands! What? They were in test tubes!)
~ watched some boys shake their tush in jockstraps, touching themselves in many, many different ways.
~ was told that my boobs were asymmetrical. ARE THEY REALLY?!!??! :O
~ umm...forgot my dead cell phone in Kachang's car. Oops. ^_^;;

Now I'm late for something but hey, I just wanted to share how utterly FAIL I am.

Ta ta, lovelies! Back to San Francisco to shop and then party at Asia SF.

because I'm just lazy today

Mmm...still in recovery from the crazy Halloween party, the fantastic time at the California Academy of Sciences, 6 hours of Killer Bunnies, and a day of being amazingly lazy (I even had a gourmet nap!) with sporatic cleaning.

I've resolved myself to try and blog every day this month for National Blogging Day but we all know how incredibly busy I tend to get, so we shall see how long I can last!

Also, I wanted to flail over the all the pamphlets I received from [livejournal.com profile] snowqueenofhoth because OH MY GOD!!! How I love them so and aslkjf;alsfk I've been flipping through them all and just...a;skjf;alskjf I WISH I WAS THERE FOR EACH OF THE SHOW/CONCERT!!! Shige's solow show pamphlet is ridiculously big (as big as the Dream Boys 2008 pamphlets) and Nakamaru's cracks me up while Ueda's is so damn pretty. I may end up doing a list of pamphlets I have just to keep track of them all! *___* And Tsubasa's is amazing.

Okay, off to bed I go.

OMG! *____________________________* I am flailing so, so, SO much over them. It's...just....yes. SO MUCH YES. WELCOME BACK TO KOREAN MUSIC, BOYS. :D :D :D:D Not that I don't adore their Japanese music. But if you're gonna come back to your home country with the aim to show that FOUR Daesangs was not a fluke, this is the way to do it.

My excitement is growingmelody2 as the time approaches for us to leave for the airport! MousaPi and I will meet a familiar face at the airport. Ilana-chan will be in the same terminal around the same time! It will be an exciting reunion!! Ah! My excitement just grows and grows and grows!!

See you all soon, minna-san!!

I wanted to be a hot blonde idol but sadly, my name is not SHIGE.

Let's start off with my To-Do list!

Things to do before Japan!
* Omiage for meeting. Don't let me forget, mousaPi! Bought and Packed!
* Laundry & packing!
* Finish printing out directions and map routes for the shinkansen
* Call hair stylist for hair cut. I have red highlights! And bought some hair care stuff for it!
* Withdraw cash.
* Finish research for Japan.
* Confirm with Casey, meeting at Shin Yokohama Station
* FLAIL A LOT
* Finish[livejournal.com profile] jesummary for the week. I AM FREEEEEEEEEEE!
* GO TO TEN BILLION BBQ's on FRIDAY. Party that night.
* Watch fandom stuff! TOMAAAAAA!!!!! RIIIIIDAAAAAAA!!!!!!
* Finish dl'ing music and upload to iPod. I am craving R&B. Got Ne-Yo's album? Chris Brown? thanks, Tia love! Also, I HAVE w-inds.' NEW ALBUM!!!!! heart1heart1heart1heart1heart1
* PANIC!?
* Try not to work on Fanime stuff! July = rest period!
* Print out bridal invites on vellum. Buy green ribbon and cheesy stickers.
* Reply to comments. Err. I'm bad. :(
* Dinner with Peyton and MousaPi! Vietnamese fooooods on Tuesday.
* Pedicure with MousaPi on Wednesday!

So there really isn't much for me to talk about other than MY REALLY AWESOME HAIR. I did red highlights and they are totally rad in the sunlight. I had to buy new hair care stuff for it but OMG. SO WORTH IT. :Dv I'll upload pictures when I'm done packing and stuff.

Also, I just got new studs for my piercings. White Gold. Totally expensive but I am hoping they are worth it. I've been reacting to the surgical steel post and hoop that I have. Hopefully the new posts will be enough to calm my body down from the metal allergy and heal enough so I can sleep on my side again!!! They are totally sexy. :D I am just waiting for the shiny, sparkly rhinestone gem to come it to match my other one.

Wheeee! I need to post pictures of the care package I got from [livejournal.com profile] jackoweskla and [livejournal.com profile] iverin (or Seekrit Agent Nishikido and Seekrit Agent Higashiyama) !!!! SO MUCH LOVE FOR YOU BOTH. I know I flailed at you the day I got it but omg, must flail again! It made me feel so loved. heart1

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] nerdinside for the lovely flowers! I haven't forgotten! We will have to do lunch when I come back from Japan!


Anyways, let's do a meme so I have something to babble about on the plane. :D Cheerfully from [livejournal.com profile] jackoweskla

1. It begins with a list of all 26 letters of the alphabet.
2. Comment with something you want me to talk about that starts with one of those letters. Choose whatever letters. I don't care which ones.
3. One topic per letter.
4. I will make a new post talking about all 26 topics given to me!

lazy sundays....

Today is full of laziness and leisure.

I slept in until 10am (totally luxurious!) and had a leisurely late lunch!

It's been a wonderful day so far and I have a jug of sun tea brewing outside to sip and enjoy in an hour or so.

Today has been made even sweeter after I found out I have tickets to see KAT-TUN in Osaka and w-inds. in Yokohama! :D SO EXCITED, EVERYONE!!! I flailed super hard at mousaPi and shabz. Now to find tickets for Kanjani8 in Fukui. *crosses fingers!*

BUT I AM REALLY EXCITED TO SEE W-INDS. ON THEIR OPENING CONCERT OF THE TOUR. YES. AND JIN'S HIPS. :D I WILL SEE THEM IN ACTION IN PERSON!!!!

Now I've got America's Best Dance Crew on tv and about to work on [livejournal.com profile] jesummary and a few other things.

Best lazy day ever.

Ugh, it's been super busy!!! But I've checked into my hotel (which is only 20 minutes from home), met up with a fellow Fanime staffer, relaxed a bit with a martini and a jazz band in between a few hours of work, and then I came home to finish packing/shower/sleep. :D

Tomorrow, [livejournal.com profile] kenaressa will be here! I pick her up from the airport after work!

Speaking of work, must scamper to bed!

I won't be answering much except when I do have the time from all the madness that is Fanime this weekend. But I'll keep posting my pictures! I treasure all your comments. <3


The meme everyone is doing and so I'm doing it too just to be trendy! aka, the Week in the Life Meme. Stolen cheerfully from [livejournal.com profile] yamapea who was the first one on my flist to do it!

Rules!

1. You must take between six and eight new photographs per day.
2. Your WITL must be consecutive. no skipping days.
3. You must post your photographs at the end of that day, sometime after the last picture is taken.
4. Each photograph must have the time taken beneath and a title, with no other explanation.

All these are taken by my PokeShigeDex (aka blackberry pearl :D )

Sometimes I just want to lay in bed.....

So many things have happened in the past 3 days!

ngày thứ bảy - I flew to LA in the morning. Little did I realize that my terminal was not connected to Cara's terminal and was really at the opposite side. So, with about 40 minutes to spare, I walked to her terminal. :D Then we were picked up by [livejournal.com profile] karinberry and hung out in Little Tokyo! We met up with [livejournal.com profile] ilanabean42, her sister, and her crazy friend (HI!) for more hanging out before checking into our hotel. Btw, the Miyako Hotel rocks! Heated toilet seats and region-free dvd player allowed us to relax and giggle over great concerts! [livejournal.com profile] saturnianlove joined us after her long drive and we giggled some more with her.

We met up with [livejournal.com profile] peroxidepest17 in the evening after an adventure in getting LOST. I showed my mettle in the driver's seat by keeping up with [livejournal.com profile] karinberry. XD After dinner, it was KARAOKE time in K-town. Lots of fun! Especially if you know all the hand movements and hip thrusting. Daite, Daite Senorita! *hip swivels*


chủ nhật - We woke up and had a leisurely morning of getting ready before heading down for a brunch. Did some quick last minute shopping after checking out of the hotel. Sadly, we had to part and thus began losing people. Said goodbye to [livejournal.com profile] saturnianlove at the parking structure, then [livejournal.com profile] ilanabean42 at the train station, and to [livejournal.com profile] karinberry & [livejournal.com profile] pastdazed at my terminal. <3 It was almost teary for me and then we resolved to do this at least once a year! :D With me planning it again. ;-)

I then flew home. [livejournal.com profile] rightsock was kind enough to pick me up and take me straight to the Fanime meeting, in which I was immediately pulled into some quick but important meetings. Left at 5:30pm and came home. Crashed out for ages. XD All that excitement, y0.


ngày thứ hai - Today was catch-up day. I caught up on sleep and was totally late. I had a lot of work I still need to catch up on. I saw previews of KAT-TUN's Don't U Ever Stop PV in bad fancam quality. I took over [livejournal.com profile] jesummary (next post goes up tomorrow night!). And I found some time tonight to help my kuya and his fiancee do the invitations during our weekly Dancing With the Stars night. :D

Also, watched Rain & Colbert dance! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] elise_maxwell for the link!



Now I still have a bunch of things to do and I'll try to get to them tomorrow! I've been super busy lately and have been SO BAD at being a good friend online despite being that social butterfly. XD I'll do them tomorrow! My bed is calling out my name! Hope everyone is doing well and NOT STRESSING OUT LIKE I AM. a;fkja;slfkjas;lf 15 more days!!!

sweat A million and one things to do before Thursday!!! *panics*

sake Birthday party will have lots of sake! I am looking forward to it! Also, I'm setting up a birthday dinner with some close friends. Anyone up for Sushi on a Friday night?

key So I still haven't named my sexy new phone yet. But I did make some ringtones! I've got the SC version of Pinky, w-inds.' Beautiful Life & Top Secret, KAT-TUN's Wilds of My Heart from the ctK-TIIYou tour, and one other. I'll probably do Kirei Da, Trial, and Pearl Dance soon. :D

magnify I'm anxiously flailing over something pretty big. I want it to hurry up so I can flail in big huge sparkles!

bananas I'm still flailing over my DBSK Bonjour Paris photobooks. The pictures are utterly gorgeous and really, I think it's no secret about how much I love Jaejoong.

sleepy On that note, I am watching one of my fandoms explode with speculations and hatred. I keep thinking that it's really amusing that people are hating on a particular company on blocking their favorite band's chances for #1 on the Oricon Charts. Come on, it's the music industry and it's going to be competitive. But I kinda like the fact that they are working hard to make it to the top in Japan. It's not that I don't want them to reach #1 but at the same time, I like watching their road to becoming that. I'm probably really strange in the fact that I like seeing them live their dreams of being a singer and becoming a better person. The business is a harsh one and to see them grow more and more mature while retaining a lot of who they are is really cool.

arrowup Also, I WANT TO BE IN JAPAN TO GO SEE OHNO'S ART GALLERY. And to go fangirl flaily crazy with Tabs on her concert trek.

moviecamera My good friend and fellow Aquarian, Tony, did this really awesome challenge. He and his brother entered the National Film Challenge in which you are given 48 hours to produce a film. There are requirements that have to be included in the film but 48 hours to write a script, act it out, edit, and turn it in.

The finalists for 2007 have been selected and Tony is among the final 15. Go and check their film out!! Their film is titled Heroic Love by the Smith Brothers. Voting ends on Jan. 22nd 11pm CST.

sparkles Did I ever mention that I like sparkly things? If not, I LIKE SPARKLY THINGS. :D I will do that meme that [livejournal.com profile] tokyostory did. I just need to find some pictures. catface

paperclip I need to find/create a costume for Mardi Gras when I go and visit Iso. Any ideas that would go well with a black, pvc corset?
