HELLO~~~ summer vacation!

[talisa_ahn]

Closing ceremony was this morning and I am now officially on summer vacation.  I still have to go into work everyday unless I take paid leave, but at this point, going in means I get to just hang out with the kids, so YAY!

This past weekend, 2 of my friends got married in Kobe and that was absolutely wonderful.  They both looked so happy and the venue... everything was just perfect.  Well, besides the fact that it was in KOBE and I therefore got home at 1am because it's 2 hours of travel time.  But as soon as I figure out what's wrong with my card reader, I'll post some photos.  Her dress was AWESOME (either that or I've been in Japan way too long).

I've been going to support the basketball club at my school recently.  Both Girls' and Boys' teams are really good.  The Girls' are ranked 1st in our district and the Boys' are ranked 3rd.  They all played in an Osaka prefectural tournament this weekend, Girls on Sunday and Boys on Monday (it was a national holiday).  I was originally only gonna go see the girls (cause they ASK me to come :D), but then the boys always see me at the Girls' games and finally came up to me and were like, "おい！なんでいつも女子の試合見に来てるのに、僕たちの試合来ないの？" (basically asking how come I never go see them) to which I hurriedly replied, "That's not true... I'm coming tomorrow!  9:20 right?"  No choice.  I went, even though I was dying tired when I got up.  haha...  Both teams won no problem.  I is very proud. :D

Other than that, this summer break is looking pretty amazing at the moment.  I didn't hit for certain things, sold my tickets to some things, decided not to buy tickets for some things,  and chose not to apply for others, so the schedule isn't as crazy as I originally planned, but I must say that I'm still pretty happy with it.

30 Days J-pop Meme
Day 4: Your favorite j-drama actor
Photobucket currently hates me.  Will be back with a photo of Oguri Shun later.

I don't really have a favorite so I decided to go with the following criteria... Whose drama would I choose to watch based on the fact that he's in it?  I ended up with Oguri Shun.  Do I think he's the best actor?  Not necessarily ('cause I'd have said Daito Shunsuke based on the wide variety of characters I've seen him portray), but I enjoy Oguri Shun's stuff a lot.  I also heavily considered Mizushima Hiro, Kaname Jun, Sato Takeru, Miura Haruma, and Narimiya Hiroki.

Arena... I haaaate yoooooooou.

See you this weekend, lol~

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I'm on the phone with my cousin and I just realized that this is only the 2nd time I ever used my You&J membership... maybe that's why they gave me good seats? 'Cause they say it's at random, but it probably isn't at COMPLETE random.

Yes, we will! Well, when you guys aren't busy that is. haha...

[devilayu.livejournal.com]

Oh please, with the horror of having NEWS and Ebikisu butai balloting due dates possibly overlapping, I don't think we'll be doing much of the usual spendy thing. -_- Cuz I was group A for arrivals, my paycheck is also short this month. :(

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Really? I thought you guys were gonna see a bunch of stuff that weekend. Ok. Well, I arrive in Tokyo Saturday morning and I'm not sure what are plans are, but will let you know.

When do you guys leave Tokyo?

[devilayu.livejournal.com]

Aside from the cons, I have no plans aside from possibly seeing friends off to the airport if there's time. Chris has friends coming, too, but I think they might hang out during the last KAT-TUN con?

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Ok. Should we aim for lunch or something on one of the days? We leave for Osaka on Wednesday. How about you guys?

[devilayu.livejournal.com]

I gotta go back Monday night after Summary. Dunno about Chris but I think she's leaving then, too.

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm leaving after Summary too. Lunch on Sat or Sun sounds good to me. Sunday would probably be better for me because I think I will be DEAD after Friday and I need to kill time before meeting my JET friends.

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Sunday sounds good to me. Will double check with Rachel.

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me too. Just let us know when works for you. :)

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

Like Val said, we will have to be good this trip. D: I'm probably going to News in Osaka because I really don't want to miss Ueda's solo con. Money. D: So I think we are pretty much free all day Sat and Sun and after the con on Sat too. On Sun evening I'm probably meeting with friends that are coming in on JET that weekend so I don't think I'll be able to meet up after the con. But let us know what works for you guys! :)

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Money. I'm taking home lunch to school everyday for the rest of the summer so that I can use that money to pay for EbiKisu. The balloting is definitely going to be before the next paycheck.

Not making it to the NEWS cons this year. ):

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty tight until the 11th but should be able to ballot no problem. Really want the EbiKisu schedule sometime soon so we can figure things out.

): But it's a short tour so maybe they will follow it up with an arena tour or something during the winter. *crosses fingers*

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I want that schedule soon~!

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

Not making it to the NEWS cons this year. ):

Me, neither. Mostly because I saw the announcement and... felt nothing. It's not like I don't still like their music, and I'm sure I'd have fun if I went, but. I just... don't even feel slightly interested anymore. I'm sure there'd be juniors I care about, but it's dome and... yeah. Not balloting.

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. When I heard the announcement, the first thing that came to mind wasn't, "YES!" It was a lot more like, "Thank god. Maybe they'll stop whining now."

[flailinginlove.livejournal.com]

"Thank god. Maybe they'll stop whining now."

This was kinda my first thought too lol.

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

Shut up, Ms. 1st-row-for-MSM. :P

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

What? 1st row? For what? (god... I'd need to be that close up to figure out who's who.)

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

Lol, Amy. XD We'll keep working on that. I'll keep working on it, too. :D

[devilayu.livejournal.com]

I would trade you 1st row MSM for 2nd row KAT-TUN any day.

But Tackey luck seems to favor us, hoping for good seats for his con.

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

...I would it if was just KaT-TUN. With Kisumai there? You can keep your first row. ;D

KaT-TUN < MSM < Kisumai

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

KaT-TUN < MSM < Kisumai
I agree.

[devilayu.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, Kisumai are so cuuuute! Of course Tackey would have them as guests at his rehearsal. :3 In their own clothes was a bonus. XD

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

I DO like getting to see them in their own clothes. Well, except sometimes Senga, because he can wear WEIRD SHIT.

[laruku05.livejournal.com]

XD your schedule looks crazy...Oguri Shun, good choice, but I would say Narimiya Hiroki~ or Kaname Jun <3 Your boy basketball kid sound interesting ^^ at least they want you to come ;)

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

He is. Check out my new icon. I have no idea when the next time I'll be able to use it is.

[j-halo7.livejournal.com]

Hi hi!

I wonder if you still remember me. :P If you don't, it's ok. ^^

I approve of all your choices for favorite j-drama actor! I would add Tamaki Hiroshi too though. <3

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

I do don't worry. I have your list of weights in my binder. ^_^

I liked him a lot in Nodame and Waterboys... but I haven't seen him in anything else. Any recommendations?

[j-halo7.livejournal.com]

I've not seen many of his dramas or movies too but I really liked him in the movie Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru.

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Will look it up the next time I'm looking for a movie to watch. Thanks. ^_^

[litayoliechi.livejournal.com]

I am jealous of your summer schedule! I wish I had the money to go and see Kat-tun and Kisumai in Seoul..T_T It is right before my first pay check and way to close now.
1st or 2nd row arena is amazing! I hope you enjoy it~ ^_^

[talisa-ahn.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Getting to that first one is hard. This is the last time I'm gonna be able to go to all the things that I want for a while. Need to start being more responsible with my money, so... bah.

It does. I will. Thanks ^-^

[litayoliechi.livejournal.com]

responsible? with money? I didn't know those two ideas could go together in a sentence! (actually I did, but that is only for this month ;))

You will still be in Japan in the spring right? I am still deciding when, but sometime in the spring my mom will come to Korea and Japan and I thought maybe we could met up and go to Naba or something~ Show my mom around some (and where 90% of my(her)money went ahah!) ^_^

[litayoliechi.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting to ask you when I talk to you, so I will post it here: Do you remember that hostel we stayed at for New Years in Tokyo? I was thinking of staying there when my mom and I go to Tokyo. Thanks~~ :)
