Ya~ho~! It has been a while but I’m now coming back~!
I had been busy for a long while and I will much be busier now, in a good way.
This blog needs redecorating and a lot of updating.
Will definitely deal with those little by little.
For now, I would like to share my newest dub as a commemoration of my return. ^–^ v
Okay, so this is the reason why I was unable to post the 7th version on the 7th of April. I was out with my sister, my mom and my mom’s friends. It was actually an outing of my mom and her friends but me and my sister decided to tag along. We dragged them to eat at SAKAE SUSHI.
This Sakae Sushi is located at the SM North Annex, adjacent to the escalator, BDO and DQ at the Upper ground floor. We wanted to try this place because it has the conveyor belt and Sushi plates on it. Me and my sister were looking for a restaurant like this and when we saw this, we already wanted to try it. 😀
Hello!!
Whew, finally I’m coming back to blogging. Sorry for not being able to update any of my blogs because of business in school. You all know how busy a 3rd year college student might be?
Anyway, I’m here to tell you guys that I’ll be blogging again starting tomorrow.
I’ll even share you my lists of things to do. :]
Things To Do:
Well, that’s all that I need to do. And uhh, that’s not a “JUST”… since I need to do it in 4 blogs. (What a job I had given to myself… *sigh* )
Anyway, I hope you guys look forward to all the changes and updates I’ll be making this week. Since I’ll try to finish everything this week. And I mean… EVERYTHING!
=]
Now, just a little sharing…
We all know the tragic thing that happened to Japan. Even though we don’t live or even experienced what they did, we are all still affected. From government wise to our own reasons.
Maybe some of you share the same sympathy and emotions as how I did when I heard what happened that day… March 11th.
I was at panic. I opened every TV here at home with different channels. I even opened the computer to check for news.
All that was in my mind was, “is Captain okay? Is she safe? I hope she is… I hope she posted or there’s news from H!P that she is safe…”
Everything about Captain’s safety was filling my head. Of course, after finding out that she was safe, that is when I looked around for the other artists/singers. I remembered that AKB (or maybe some of them) are out of the country so they were safe (that’s when I stopped thinking of TakaMina’s safety after Captain). After a few days, of course, I’m still thinking of their safety and if they have food and all they need.
*sigh*
Good thing Captain and TakaMina were safe…
When I tried to think what if they are missing or worse, dead… I couldn’t think of anything… I guess It’ll be the end of JPOP for me… And I don’t want that to happen… Since I don’t really know what to do without Captain. Seriously… Even though I don’t know her personally or even talked to her… I still feel we have a connection. Maybe that Artist-Fan connection but really… It feels that I know her since we were little, etc. Feelings like that… So it is hard to even think of her leaving or… you know….
But seriously, if that really happened… I would be lost in the music world for the time being. Good thing they are really safe. Thank you Kami-sama!
Well, that’s all I could share when the quake happened.
Let’s all continue praying for Japan.
Now, I’ll get to share you guys a project by WaratteNippon. 🙂

I read something from AKB48’s thread and I went, “o_o which type of fan am I? Am I disappointing my oshimen? Who is my real oshimen?”
Krusha, on 14 October 2010 – 12:58 AM, said: (H!O)
And as such, with this in mind, there are different classifications of fans. Some good, some OK, some less good, some bad, etc.– DD (Daredemo Daisuki) = “Anyone is fine..” – This to the girls isn’t a positive thing (they hate it). It means someone who can’t make up their minds, someone who is equally as fine with Kana as with Takamina as with Sayaka as with Mariyannu etc. It doesn’t really matter who the girl is to them, they’re all fine. It might sound confusing, but the DD mentality in Japan is somewhat scorned upon, and here DD is known outside of idol subculture too. People want you to be able to say who your favorite is, or what you choose etc. If you don’t have an oshimen you’re considered a DD, because you can’t choose.
– MD (Minna Daisuki) = “I love everybody” – It could look to be the same as DD, but it’s not. In order to be MD, you first and foremost must have an oshimen. While DD is not a good thing, MD is OK.
– TO (TanOshi / Only One Oshi) = Someone who only supports their oshimen. Their focus is 110% on their oshimen. TO’s are much liked.
– Oshihen = Someone who changes their oshimen. Not really a good thing.
– Oshimashi = Someone who adds oshimen to their already established oshimen.
I stumbled upon so many questions about my personality as a fan and not did the questions only bugged me, they made me think hard. Finally thought about it, and there came a few questions I couldn’t really answer.
As for having an oshimen. Does it mean an oshimen per group I support or is it a general thing? Because if it is per group I support and follow, I could say I have oshimen per group. Like for example:
► Berryz Koubou → Captain
► AKB48 → TakaMina
► C-ute → Megu
► Buono! → Airi
► MoMusu → Ai
► S/Mileage → Kanon
…. etc.
If it is a general thing, I don’t really know. I mean, I follow and love all the groups I support and most of all, my favorites in each group. I even tried weighing them but it really goes to my 2 top faves. Captain and TakaMina. I like them the same way, amount and everything else.
To tell the truth, I’m not the type of person who only has one or two favorite groups and stay focused on only them. I listen to many groups, genres and songs. Though I’m bias to Jpop than any other genres but still, I listen to other genres. That’s why if ever I listen to a JPOP group, I usually have a favorite member for each group. But recently, I don’t have a fave on newly introduced groups (to myself — could be an old group or a new one).
Actually, I think my top fave groups atm is Berryz and AKB. The reason is that they are the only groups I’m getting an often update (thanks to H!O, JPH!P and Nihongogo forums). And because of my busy schedule in college (plus the breakdown of my laptop) I had no time and fast access to the internet. Though when I get to rent one, I get instant updates from the forums mentioned. That’s why, these two groups are the ones I’m really rooting for at the moment.
Anyway, back to the type of fan. I stand loyal to Captain and TakaMina, though I also like some of their group members. Not really as how I like the two but you know. Lol. And I like everyone in the group but I still have a fave. So, lol. I don’t really know.
According to the type of fans that Krusha mentioned, I’m definitely not a DD.
I’m not an Oshihen, since when I find a favorite in a group, I don’t actually change, even if they left (for example, Murakami Megumi).
I stopped being an Oshimashi when I started liking HSJ and then H!P and AKB.
I’m a MD when it comes to groups but still has a favorite among the members.
I’m a TO, IF AND ONLY IF the oshimen applies to each group and not a general (all groups) perspective.
…….
Is there another category that applies to me fully? I mean, a category that means, “Having an oshimen on all his/her favorite group?”
But then again, I think the “oshimen” not applies to “all groups” per se but it is per group? Right? I hope it is.
Conclusion:
“I’m a TO!” — When it is not a general perspective and one could have an oshimen per group they like.
“I’m not in any category” — when it is in a general perspective. Why? I love TakaMina and Captain at the same level.
Okay, I’m very sorry for the delay of things. I have connection problems that makes my uploads and downloads slow. If ever I want to upload and downloads stuff, I need to stay awake around 12am until 6am because the downloads are faster. I deeply apologize and I will come back with new downloads so please don’t stop coming to this blog.
Before I leave and take care of the radio shows that I missed uploading, here is a checklist of the things I need to do:
