Grand Prize Winner stuff. LOL! Yes, I AM rubbing it in your faces! ;P

The good news is, after much worry and paranoia on my end, I finally received the flight details and e-tickets from MTV. Whew! I canceled my original Cebu Pacific booking almost in the nick of time. I'll be flying via Malaysia Airlines, yay! I haven't been to NAIA Terminal 1 since 2008! :D

I'll be getting my concert passes (express queue passes, yeah!) from the MTV liaison officer when I check into the hotel, so I don't have to worry about packages getting to me on time as well.

The not-so-good news, though, is that I'll only be in Kuala Lumpur for one whole day. I arrive on the evening of the 30th and have to check out early on August 1 to make it to our noon flight back. Sad. My original itinerary was for three whole days. And I was so looking forward to hanging out with Shirin and the gang. :( My second trip to Malaysia, and again I won't be seeing much more than the inside of a hotel and the concert grounds! D:

Although I'd be an ass if I go on complaining about this small glitch when I'm getting the trip for free. LOL. Bad Balatstar! I'm actually really thankful and happy, honest!! w00t!!

Gawd, after nito makukuntento na ako at patatahimikin ko na talaga ang aking inner (inner daw o!) Tokio Hotel fangurl. Then again, maybe I'll wait until after they come here! Hehehe. Sus!

I am tempted use my Cebu Pacific travel fund for a trip to Singapore for SingFest. I really want to watch 30 Seconds to Mars perform live. I wanna see Jared Leto's new hairstyle.

Stop me... OA na 'to...! I'm not such a moneyed socialite to go jetsetting all over Southeast Asia.

I should use my travel fund for another trip to Japan, though. Sana magka-seat sale ulit!

( OHMYGOD I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. )

In other news, I didn't win anything on the Humanoid World Scavenger Hunt. LOL. It was lots of fun, though. I kinda miss the game, actually.

Okay, so the bosses won't let me miss the General Assembly.

But they moved it to the 29th, just for me! Yahoooo~~~!!! All systems go for the MTV World Stage! ♥♥♥♥♥

This month's eclipse has been very kind to me. I do hope I haven't jinxed myself by talking about it here. :)

*****

In other news, check out these supercute manga-inspired Blythe dolls.

i want to be the girl who can stop at a random person's desk, tell a knock knock joke, laugh, and waltz away.

instead, i'm the girl who can't even laugh when someone stops at her desk to deliver a joke.

is there a school for these things? because i really want need to learn.

Won passes to the World Stage event. I'm happy enough, and I don't want to sound ungrateful, but it kinda feels anticlimactic.

So this is what happened. I had the sudden urge to go to the site, and when I did, I saw that a giveaway session was on. So I clicked on About, and found the Junior. Which meant I won free passes. Easy as pie. After all the stress I experienced while I was madly pursuing it a few weeks back. 0.o

I hope the passes get to me on time, though. I think it took two or three weeks for the postcard I sent from KL to get to Manila the last time.

***

Management scheduled a General Assembly on the 30th. I knew I should have officially filed my leave sooner. Will talk to the bosses next week. Hopefully, they will let me skip the GA. Wish me luck. :/

Found this on my YouTube recommendations: ( Soul Love. GLAY live at Nissan Stadium. August 2009. )

It's been years since I last listened to Soul Love; it really brings back memories. I used to watch the different PV versions of it over and over. (OMG, I'd trek to Mich's house in QC just to get my Glay fix because it was the pre-YouTube era! I'm so ancient!) It's also one of the first basslines I learned to play. I can't believe I still remember all the lyrics, even though I don't understand about 99% of it. XD

I'm glad Hisashi's style is still as cute and outrageous as ever. I always look forward to seeing his outfits and hairstyles whenever they have lives.

I should also mention that even the minor JiroxHisashi fanservice at 2:17 still made me shriek like a fangirl like it did years ago. ♥ ♥ ♥ I guess I haven't changed, either. I guess I never will. :)

***

UPDATE. Gah, I can't stop watching the vid. I'm supposed to be watching Squall, who's recuperating from his illness. I should convert Squall to a Glay fan so we can watch this together. Haha!

Just got back from my sister's lunch treat at Rack's. I am sooo full. You would be, too, if you ate a half slab of ribs plus side dishes.

And now here I am at home, drinking an extra-large mug of black coffee (and eating some cheesecake haha!) to calm my tummy.

***

So I just checked the July forecast for Virgo, and it tells me that I should watch my spending on July 30 because I'm up for a bad financial surprise. Oh noes, that's World Stage time! :/

Yesterday, Jester brought Des, Sherelyn and me to Wensha for his birthday treat! ♥ ♥ ♥

For those who don't know, Wensha is a 24-hour spa where you can get a massage, lounge at the hot pool (onsen?), go to the sauna, eat at their buffet and hot-pot, etc etc. In short, Wensha is where a lady (or a gentleman, if he is so inclined) can get all the pampering she needs. We've always talked about going there, but never found the opportunity to do so.

Unfortunately, we had to be separated from the birthday boy because there were different male and female areas at the spa. Although I don't think he minded, we girls just cramped his style anyway. LOL.

So anyway, Des, Sherelyn and I went first to the showers and the hot pool. I'm not used to the spa environment, so I wasn't too comfortable going all naked in front of all those strangers. We just sat at the sides, all demure and conservative with our towels on, and dipped our legs in the water. Heeee. Maybe when I get a better body, I'll have the guts to swim in there. :/

When we got bored dangling our legs at the edge of the pool, we hied off to the massage area. I was wondering why Des's and Sherelyn's masseurs were asking them whether they wanted light, medium or hard, and mine wasn't. Turned out mine only had one setting... HARD! Ouch. I swear to god I felt like I was getting punished. "Okay lang po ba Ma'am?" "Umm..." *poundpound* "Grglglglg!" 0.o And then after an hour of getting mashed and mangled, she handed me a piece of paper and said, "Ma'am, paki-sign na lang po ang tip form." 0.o Okay... (Actually, I tell this like it's hell, but there were parts of the massage session that I found nice, so I did give her a tip. :D)

After the massage we went to the buffet to meet with Jester (the dining area was the only place in the spa where men and women can hang out together). I was still full from our North Park lunch (Jester treated us there before taking us to Wensha), but I just had to try the fish fillet with tomatoes and olives because it looked so good. And then I had cheese ice cream. Heaven.

***

I hated the oily residue on my hair (from the massage), so after Jester's treat, I went to the salon to get a haircut, and also to get my eyebrows threaded.

*sigh*

It's because of times like these that I really love being a girl. :)

Magpakilala ka naman. Naiintriga ako sa yo e. Na-meet ba kita sa THP? :D

Construction of our house's second floor begins tomorrow. Just in time for the start of rainy season. XDD Oh well, at least it will be finished before September, which is usually when the crazy monsoons hit.

I haven't seen the plans yet, but I really hope there's a star-viewing area. :)

Also:

- Squall doesn't know how to climb stairs. We'll have to train him.

- Second floor birthday party YAY!

Hehe. Okay, this is the second month I noticed that when I'm in estrus I moon over Tom Kaulitz instead of Bill.

Since yesterday, I haven't been able to close this tab (not really something I'd normally find nice to look at), and this (which I already saw 2 days ago and shrugged off only to search for it and watch obsessively since last night... check out 0:29! @.@).

Tom!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

So who needs the calendar method, BBT, pills and condoms, and etcetera when you have Tom to tell you when you're in heat? ^.^

I feel like crying just watching the trailer; I know I'll be a mess when I see the movie. Q_Q

( Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows HD Trailer. )

I used to find it so difficult being a Severus Snape fan because everyone keeps asking how I could like a mean (or bad, depending on which book you're at) character. I never grew tired of defending him, though. I was one of the few people who never lost faith in him.

These days, though, my difficulty about being a Snape fan is that Deathly Hallows gets me so depressed. More than anything, I wanted a happy ending for him. I can't even make myself reread the damn book. It's just so sad. (Not that I can actually read it right now. All my HP books were destroyed in last year's flood. *sad* I really need to have them replaced!)

Meanwhile, I still really really really really hate James Potter with a passion! If he weren't already dead, I'd write lots of fics of him dying over and over. I hate him more than Lord Voldemort! God, I think I even hate him more than the Twilight saga!

( My favorite pics from Des's birthday, a.k.a. videoke night. )

I forgot to mention in my previous post that I did a mashup of Baby (Justin Bieber) and Thank You For the Music. Hehehe. Those two songs blend well together. Or pwede rin na high na lang talaga kami. LOL.

I like singing/quoting/talking about Justin Bieber because I know it really annoys my friends, but I swear to god, if I ever find myself actually immersed in the Justin Bieber fandom, I'll shoot myself. XD

Got this from Neil Gaiman's tweet:

Also my thinspiration and my hair- and fashion-inspiration. (Within reason, of course. I mean, I'd never be caught dead wearing his leather/rubber ultraelectromagnetic outfit from the Humanoid tour, right?)

( My favorite Bill K. screencaps from the Dark Side of the Sun music video )

***

TO HELL WITH TOKIO HOTEL REHAB. I REFUSE TO ACT MY AGE. Let's go, cougars!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

(And anyway, with the new video, the upcoming Southeast Asian gig and DVD release, and the constant fangirl bombardment on FB and Twitter, how am I supposed to resist? XD)

( Dark Side of the Sun MV (NEW!) )

Went to the videoke place at the Greenhills Promenade last night to celebrate Des' birthday. Since we're missing one friend, Preck (she migrated to the US last year), we group-sang her signature song, Cruisin':


Me, Melai, J, Sherelyn, birthday girl Des, and Eky

I'm usually a microphone hog, but I let the rest hold the mic for this song. I don't need a mic anyway, I can belt it really loud (and really off-key). LMAO.

***

Des is off to Singapore and Bali next month, and Melai is going to Kota Kinabalu on September, both for men-related adventures. I'm thinking of going with Melai to Kota Kinabalu if I end up not going to KL this July. Might be a fun way to spend my birthday. :)

I found my Adam/Bill post from a couple of months back on the first page of a Google search for 'Bill Kaulitz Adam Lambert' (and vice versa). Wagi!

[Screencap proof] (in case it disappears in the future)

I have to wonder why, though, as it's just video and some fangirling.

***

And if you were wondering what happened to my quitting-Tokio-Hotel-cold-turkey program, I was actually browsing for Adam Lambert stuff, not for Bill. ;)

On a related note, here is Adam Lambert's latest video: If I Had You. Man, he's hot. Especially in those white pants. :3

(Yep, I did notice that his hair is a cross between Bill's mohawk and Bill's dreads, and that hat look is so very reminiscent of Bill Kaulitz from the GQ shoot. I don't care. :D)

Hey guys, you all need to see scianaphobia's photos of Berlin:

( Wer will dass die Welt so bleibt wie sie ist der will nicht das sie bleibt. )

I was just randomly browsing the net when I stumbled upon her LJ. Now I really want to go to Germany. Like now, now, now, now. Yeah, okay, maybe next year, after I win the lottery. LOL.

I wonder how hard it is to get a Schengen visa. I've heard horror stories! D:

I'm sick and tired of the World Stage site. Honestly, the urge to punch my monitor gets stronger every time I visit their page. If I still don't win passes today, I will take it as the universe's way of telling me not to go. My monitor is only a few months old, and I don't want to have to replace it so soon...

I only want to go for TH and Bunkface, anyway, and I've already seen both live. And there's always the live stream, so I really won't be missing out on anything, right? (Although Sunway Lagoon looks like fun!)

Besides, I kinda want the iPhone 4G, and Green Day Rock Band. I can't afford to get them if I go to Malaysia. :/

***

UPDATE: World Stage just crashed my Chrome! I give up! FUMTVAsia! You can just stick yer passes up yer asses. >.>

That's it. No more Tokio Hotel. I'm quitting cold turkey.

***

Okay, this isn't some drama post or anything (I've actually kept this from appearing on my friends' pages so it doesn't cause hullabaloo). I just feel like I need to spend more time and energy on worthwhile adult stuff. Tokio Hotel, and the fandom, have made my life really fun and enchanting and adventurous. I even made a few new friends (and have gotten back in touch with old ones). For this, I am grateful.

But I'm not some teenager with her whole life ahead of her anymore. I need to move on. :)

UPDATE (20.06.2010):

I post this, but I still hang out at the THP chatbox for hours last night, sharing photos and talking about the boys. Fail! XD

Voldemort/Voldemort slash at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Universal Studios theme park).

The Harry Potter rides (and etc.) look really nice! I finally found something I'd want to go to the US for. ^.^;

Today, it is bento day:



Scrambled egg with lettuce and ground pork, fish lumpiang shanghai, squid kikiam, and a tomato. I used my Lock & Lock instead of the real bento box because I wanted to be able to microwave my food at lunch.

And we're halfway done! But it's not too late to join: 30 Days of Creativity

Today I fleshed out my idea for a promotional contest. Sorry for the lack of details, it's still a secret, so I can't share it here. :D

(I know how irritating cryptic posts like these are. I'm keeping this public for #30daysofcreativity, but I've taken it off of my friends feed.)

Deciding to pursue my goal of becoming a polyglot, I thought of a creative way to practice my Deutsch: read the Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales!

So far, I've read Aschenputtel (Cinderella) and Schneewitchen (Snow White). Learned new words like der König (king), das Blut (blood), das Gift (poison), and der Sarg (coffin).

These stories are morbid. 0.o

I was sort of the one who floated the idea of TheLittleMermaid!Bill, so I guess this counts as a creative thing! Loui (puppenjung) was the one who came up with this image, though:



Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl... the girl who has everything?!
XDDDD
