where do I buy this brand of clothes?

I think it's phased out...I think there's no way I'll find any piece of clothing brandishing its name in any store that doesn't resemble an ukayan ...

anyone know CÈU? (see image below)I think it's originally from HK...

mundainity...

...I fear closing my clam shell phone the way most people usually do...like closing a compact...why? I dunno...I think manufacturers of cellphones know that it's top priority to make such phones withstand certain types of impact or torture, even...but why do I hesitate? I definitely have NO freakin' idea...

...I'm conscious about my bilbil but I put no effort in dieting...why? I dunno...I think I'm more conscious of the fact that I've less clothes that fit than me getting fat...

*wah! tinatamad na ko! anwamigwamig ditoooh...bwrrr...*

oh..kaAY...

Se7en has a new US album...I don't think he's the first pure Korean ever...but it's weird...

I dunno...his english is...I think...*CLICK HERE*

blah..blah..blah...You Tube..blah..

This is the problem of not having a useable PC with hi-speed internet connection at home...

'cuz you have to go out, pay for the service and not have privacy...

I particularly landed on a net cafe that prohibits almost anything so my dream of downloading some new songs remains just a dream...

I've been discussing with my younger sister about the possibility of buying a new desktop anytime soon like in the near future, not in quantum physics-term (like light years, like how most filipinos interpret the possibility of having dreams fulfilled...) since she's going back to school and stuff (ate so proud!!!) but almost every time we end up getting nowhere...(where to buy, what particular features to look for?)

It gives me this weird feeling of responsibility that such decisions about our household should be overseen by me...(noooo...I feel freaking OLD...older...shet) and it just seems that there's no time...too many other stuff to think about...then I'm back to that phase when I'm being the bratty spoiled teen who doesn't want to do adult stuff...I simply wish I could get over this...like I was able to overcome the hurdle of "bringing home the bacon" already...

Anyway, saw this video (ancient) of Se7en, one of my more fave korean stars, titled "Passion"...it's an over-the-top video...Se7en doesn't give me the impression of a "gangsta"...his voice is too...girly...but he's really...Pretty...for a boy...

I have like 30 minutes remaining...will post tomorrow I guess...

SHeeeeT...!

Almost Lover Lyrics

Converted...

No, not religion-wise, I mean pop-wise...

You see I'm not much of a pop-fan, but an officemate who suprisingly has very good taste in music introduced me to some female soloists who at first may sound poppish but could actually fall for alternative...

So my picky ears are saved from mutilation...

Angela Aki and A Fine Frenzy are good picks...I particularly fell in-love with Aki after I heard her sing a Japanese version of "Today" of The Smashing Pumpkins (who happen to be the best punk/emo band ever to exist--about emo/punk...since I'm not versed with genres, how do I categorize SP or the 90's emo-ish bands...?)

Here's a link to Aki's lyrics from Corichan's Site...(no translation, my Japanese is too poor to translate...~_~) *CLICK HERE*

And for A Fine Frenzy's Almost Lover lyrics, see next entry ^.^

You know it's gonna bleed sometimes...

Sweet Talk Lyrics

I broke the code...!

So this name thing is now officially lame...I was wondering how the answers were produced so quickly...I mean, can you judge a person's character with mere letters? A thought came into mind, yes, I think I've read something like that, so I put in my name on the quiz "search engine"...and voila~! a lengthy explanation of who I might be, but then as I read through it, I felt kind of off.. this doesn't sound like me at all! then another thought crossed my mind...why of course~! I used my other name: Kao...so...this thing is dependent on the letters...so what I did? I put in the whole alphabet...find your meaning below...ENJOY~!

What Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Means

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings. You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun. Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people. Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems. Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest. People see you as a complete enigma, and only you truly understand who you are. You spend most of your time introspecting and seeking truth. You're a very interesting person... but not many people know you enough to realize it. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are incredibly sexy and sensual. You have a naughty vibe that no one can ignore. You have an unquenchable desire. And you are unrestrained in your passions. You have a tendency to be unfaithful. Whether you fight it or give in to it is up to you. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience. You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along. But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge.

Pardon Me Lyrics

a REALLY nice love song...=^_^=

SEN NO YORU O KOETE// AQUA TIMEZ

Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsuketa kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki tte tsutaerunda
I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared, even if I’m hurt
I can say “I love you” to the person who I love

Anata ga boku wo aishiteru ka aishitenai ka
Nante koto wa mou docchi demo ii n da
Donna ni negai nozomou ga
Kono sekai ni wa kaerarenu mono ga takusan aru darou
Sou soshite boku ga anata wo aishiteru to iu jijitsu dake wa
Dare ni mo kaerarenu shinjitsu dakara
Do you love me? Or not love me?
As for things like that, it’s already fine either way
No matter how I wish
There are many unchangeable things in this world, right?
That’s right, and because only the fact of my loving you
Is the truth unchangeable by anyone

Sen no yoru wo koete anata ni tsutaetai
Tsutaenakya naranai koto ga aru
Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsuketa kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki tte tsutaeru n da
Kimochi wo kotoba ni suru no wa kowai yo demo
Suki na hito ni wa suki tte tsutaeru n da
I want to overcome the thousands of nights and tell it to you
There’s something that I must tell you
I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared
Even if I’m hurt, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
It’s scary to turn my feelings into words
But I can say “I love you” to the person who I love

Kono hiroi sekai de meguri au yorokobi wo kotoba jya ii arawasenai ne
Dakara bokutachi wa hohoemi
Iro azayaka ni sugiru aki wo doremi de utatte
Fuyu wo se ni haru no komorebi wo machi
Atarashiku umare kawaru dareka wo mamoreru youni to
In this broad world, I can’t express the joy of encountering you with words
So we smile, sing about the vividly passing autumn in do-re-mi
Turn our backs on winter, wait for the sunlight streaming through trees in spring
And become reborn anew, so that we can protect someone

Kita michi to yukisaki furikaereba itsudemo okubyou na me wo shite ita boku
Mukiaitai demo sunao ni narenai
Massugu ni aite wo aisenai hibi wo
Kurikaeshite wa hitoribocchi wo iyagatte
Ano hi no boku wa mukizu na mama de hito wo aisou to shite ita
On the path we came from and our destination, when we looked back, I’d always have timid eyes
I want to face you, but I can’t be honest
I, who repeated days of not being able to straightforwardly love my partner
And hated being alone on that day
Seemed to love people while unwounded

Sen no yoru wo koete ima anata ni ai ni yukou
Tsutaenakya naranai koto ga aru
Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsuketa kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki tte tsutaeru n da
Sono omoi ga kanawanakutatte suki na hito ni suki tte tsutaeru
Sore wa kono sekai de ichiban suteki na koto sa
I’ll overcome the thousands of nights and go meet you now
There is something that I must tell you
I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared
Even if I’m hurt, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
Even if those thoughts aren’t fulfilled, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love

the Heath Ledger thing...

too bad, I failed to watch Casanova when he was still alive...

I had an officemate back in ePerformax who used Heath's name as his nick in his schedule viewer. Yes, this person is male. And yes, he's gay but he's...how do you say it? Armed to the teeth in defending it. (I think that's the wrong idiom) Oh well...

will post anything at dgemu.com....

running NOSE....

pango ako...well that may be exaggerating a li'l bit kasi wala lang talaga akong bridge...and perhaps well...according to science and science is always sure...my nose-bridge-lessness will be a hindrance to a life of hassle-free sniffing in cold countries, like Japan.

now my nose is running, due to my ever-persistent visitor, commonly known to Filipinos as "sinus" (referring to the actual illness, not the body part), and it's driving me crazy!

I'm loving my job...no plasticity in that...I tend to appreciate things that are worth all the trouble...I don't want an easy life but I do want to live comfortably. I simply want a life lived...enjoyed...knowing that I've worked hard enough to deserve all of the blessings...it's kinda hard to explain and unfortunately I'm not always the best person to explain things.

dear nose,

take a break, will ya?

 When she woke in the morning

彼女は目を覚ました時には、午前中の

 she knew that her life had passed her by.

彼女は彼女の人生には分かっていた彼女に渡される。

 And she called out a warning,

彼女は警告を出すと呼ばれ、

 "Don't ever let life pass you by." 

"これまで人生を無駄に過ごすことはありませんれる"と述べた。



 I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal.

お勧めする前に自分自身を愛することを学ぶ我々の前に違法です。

 When will we learn?

学ぶときには、我々ですか？ 

When will we change?

変更するときには、我々ですか？

 Just in time to see it all fall down.

ぎりぎりの時間にすべてを見ることは落ちる。

 Those left standing...

それらの左側に立って... will make millions...

百万人が...

 writing books on the way it should have been.

本を書くようにしていたはずだ。

 Floating in this cosmic Jacuzzi

Sad....

Franz' mom just died last night. I feel terrible. I can't work happily...gets?

My PokePet~!

kAo's PokéPet

Tocchan the level 17 Piplup!

Irasshaimase~!

First 3 customers of the day...I wonder if they believe me...

Anyway...God is good. He gave me a handicap for this chat thingie...I am not flooded with work...lovely adjustment...^_^

Pre-performance Jitters

I painted my nails black. I bought a new shampoo-hair treatment set that smells like my favorite pasta. I'm anticipating every moment, the clock goes by as if it's crawling slowly like a turtle. Clearly, I'm having butterflies. It feels like high school again before the big cultural night performance. It's like TK event-cram-moment of PubCom...

It's just chat...but the freakin' absence of my precious mug entertains such mundane ideas (well that's OA) and I actually thought of buying another mug, 'cuz I can't freakin' survive without a mug of liquid beside me! Aaargh!

Kao Cantabile....

Moody...moody of all things...I'm at work relaxing a little bit, talking every now and then...I actually should feel better after talking to my boss (finally I had it out), but I kept on wondering what to do with the free time..later on I'll be sweating out with all the freaky *no need to discuss here* so I should be taking this opportunity...but what am I doing? I'm tensing up waiting for freaky *no need to discuss here*...whaddahell...so to feel productive I must write something that would make sense or might make sense...something I know and want others to know (hey...haven't you noticed something that I put words too much? like an overly long intro to a speaker...that's how boring I write...)

Anyway, let's talk about my current collection, NODAME CANTABILE.

I never spent much on any manga-anime related series before than what I did with this series. Nodame might look like a 2nd-class manga and/or anime compared to any work by Ai Yazawa or CLAMP (also my favorites) or whoever...but the story is catchy. It's like a pop song--Britney Spears--you really wouldn't like her songs in your playlist but since "Gimme More" tunes in to your earworm every morning, you include it anyway--but mind you Tomoko Ninomiya won an award for it!

So I have all the English-translated tankoubon (still waiting for the 11th volume) and the anime, and the DORAMA, and I still can't get over Tamaki Hiroshi...so what do I really want to talk about? Perhaps to brag my collection...but no...I wish I'm not tone-deaf...it would be lovely if I could easily learn how to play the guitar and write a manga about music like My Chemical Romance (who btw is having a concert here in Taguig on the 25th...*boo-hoo* I have work) or write lyrics...

Basically. nothing should be impossible...it just so happen that I grew up with no specialization--I aimed to be good at almost everything and then I found myself inclined with the arts but too late...I have gone past my formative years way too long and things seem kinda hard...I didn't grow up in a household where parents encourage you to do what you like...let you write on walls on color your hair or watch anime...(I've had arguments before regarding this)...well, it's no time to blame my parents (I'm too old to rant like this)...if there's anything or anyone to blame it's the society...this country tends to eat every kid's dream during formative years...

Anyway, this all concludes to the fact that I shouldn't give up (I've learned that lesson many2x times), it's never too late...however, I still need to learn what I want...One thing admirable about Ninomiya-sensei's work is that she is consistent...it seems that (and so she claims) there are real-life Nodame and Chiaki posing for her whenever she makes a chapter of manga because the characters live up to their personalities...whereas I, after all this time, remains lacking in personal style...

Those who suffer are those who don't know what they want...
