Fangirl UnInterrupted

I just read my last post and how the Boomer's favorite was Nino.

Well guess what?

The Boomer's favorite now is Mr. Sakurai Sho.
She says, he isn't, but he is. I swear he is. She's always talking about and watching Sho. Only when Sho isn't doing anything, would she notice Nino. But if you ask her who her fave is, she'd say it's everybody. They're all— equally— her favorite. They're all her sons. (My brothers don't care tho LOL)

In the begining, she started to watch the YouTube vids because of Ohno. Riida was the first one she could recognize easily. Then Nino because of Iwo Jima. Then Sho lately. I think she had a short Aiba phase which went over my head because ... it was so short. I just have this vague memory of her talking about how Aiba is such a nice person because animals wouldn't like people who aren't nice. I think that was between Nino and Sho. But MatsuJun, poor baby, is still last on her list.

This made me think about my own evolution. I started with Jun because of Gokusen. I can't deny it, I'm old. Then Nino (Stand Up). Then Ohno (he kinda-sorta-parang looks like my ex-whois-not-an-ex). Then Aiba when he had that gorgeous long curly hair during Beautiful Days / Ryusei no Kizuna season. Then I finally gave in to Sho because when he was being a brat on Shukudai I just can't help falling in love. February 2009 was that point of no return for me. (It took me a while because I had to get over my SuJu, Tohoshinki, and Farenheit phase first because younger me valued pretty over substance LOL)

I wrote this first thing after I woke up and even I can't comprehend why I'm telling you this sh*t, knnowing for sure nobody ever reads my sh*t anymore. Everybody I knew in the fandom had moved on (basically). Actually, I think everybody I once knew in LJ had moved on o_O

EDIT: Boomer reminded me she started to watch Jdrama because after watching Kimi Wa Petto with me (which I visit every so often) her interest was picqued and then started checking out Jun in YouTube, which then turned her attention to Ohno. Sooooo... THE BOOMER WAS JUN-BAITED.  

It's not easy to ignore Arashi these days. In fact, it was very hard for me not to know what was happening this past year. Even the ones I didn't wanna know. Like Nino getting married.

I thought I had posted something about my adventures in Blast in Hawaii. But I guess, I didn't. Or I did over at another blog (Blogger which I can't open anymore, or maybe Tumblr which has too many sh*t I don't wanna scroll anymore). Or maybe I was just too overwhelmed by the entire experience, I guess I forgot my responsibilities as a fangirl. Then I ran into some problems, as I always say, "Life got in the way," and I couldn't follow what was happening anymore. So I took a hiatus to focus on myself and what was happening in my life that I couldn't run away from anymore.

iBut since the start of the quarantine, I had been feeling a bit down. So I started watching Arashi on YouTube. But most of them were either Chinese subbed, or Korean subbed. And since I'm living with my mother (henceforth would be known as the Boomer) as her primary caretaker, she was  compelled to watch them with me. And she got addicted. She said, it was like watching Eat Bulaga (you'd know this if you're Filipino.

Now, I'm back to hunting eps, especially VSA eps. To keep the Boomer happy. Because when she's happy and watching something, I'm left alone peaceful. Also, it's fun to watch the evolution of the Boomer's fangirl. From indifferent non-fan who can't tell one from the other, to picking Nino as her favorite because of Iwo Jima, to telling me that Nino is so petty but he's still her favorite, to having my Honey & Clover movie poster framed before buying a necessary kitchen appliance because the former is more important or as she said it, "Mental health is more important than digestive health." BTW, Boomer is 68yo, born 3 days before Nino's bday, and is a kidney transplant patient. That's just how she rolls. LOL.

Anyways. Hi if you're new here. I'm Dek. And I'm an Arashi Addict.

Just moving this entry here. Originally posted in my Multiply account on October 29, 2009. I've closed up my Multiply, so I only have Blogger, LJ, FB, Tumblr, Twitter and Plurk. I'm over at Plurk and Twitter most of the times.

It's 2am where I am.  I wasted so much time doing this when I should be doing my resume.  But I guess, that's just how big a dork I am.  (VSA latest ep running on my TV -- love the Riida bullying and my husband falling in HD glory)

As I've said in my tumblr post -- "As response to the Arama post about Otaku guys — I’m all up for gender equality and women’s suffrage … " 





LOLing forever :3

CROSS POSTED IN FANGIRL CONSPIRACY THEORIES TUMBLR



Thanks to Japanese Entertainment Rumors, we have a day to day breakdown of how this love affair blossomed into signatures in the family registry.  But, I can't seem to find any report of its beginnings.  At least, I know how my husband's cheating on me with Sasaki Nozomi started, all you've got to do is watch HnA #88. 

All we know is, they started in November.  But, wasn't he supposed to be flying back and forth Japan and being all busy marketing his collab with Jason Derulo way back then?  To be fair, though, we really don't know his schedule -- and it's definitely not as hectic as no-need-for-sleep-Sho's.   

THEORY #1

J&A is getting really careless.  They are all too focused on their cash cow right now that they didn't notice they have a loose grip of the leash around their other non-cash-cow talents.  

Which is the most plausible scenario.  Grampa Johnny is going senile (that's another theory all together.)

THEORY #2

His US career ain't that shiny. Not even the Japanese girls I work with have heard of him.  And then there's that standing threat from Grampa Johnny that his US take will be  his last chance. 

Getting married and having kids aren't as detrimental to Japanese female idols as it is to their male counterparts (unless your name is KimuTaku and/or you're a cash cow).  This, as compared to idols from other countries.  

However, because of declining population and high divorce rate, pregnancies are celebrated and putting family first gets you lots of pats on the back.  If his favorability rating gets high enough, wouldn't that get him (yet another) get-out-of-jail-free card?  Oh, the agency will still be furious, but if there's enough demand because of this high favorability, they will have no other choice but to give him a job. He lands a base and he's SAFE!!!! 

Do I give Jin too much credit?  Yes.  I believe he's smarter than he looks or he makes us believe (it's a brand new world!).

I'd like to start a betting pool -- how long do you think this will last?

Just when I finally got an internet ...

Just when I'm getting ready to work on my mod, maintainer and fangirl duties ...

Just when I thought that life here in the U.S.A. wouldn't be so intolerable ...

Just when I was getting my little sanity left back ... 

"the_bumper_car : "para ba itong Cluedo? (Is this like Cluedo?) "I suspect that you did it in the Greenbelt 5 2nd floor bathroom, with Nino, on the 2nd of August" "

Wouldn't this game board be amusing?  Of course, very sensitive fans out there wouldn't understand the brilliance of this game.  I wonder how many girls would actually play it?  Should it only be Nino? Or should we include Arashi?  Would putting in other JE members be more fun?

On the other hand, I have yet to perfect that ARASHI TRAINING CAMP DRINKING GAME.  Sadly, I don't have enough time and volunteer fangirls to experiment on. 

My mind is too idle.  I should be working on that part-time. Sigh.
