Quick things

[javiera]

Nataly! Call me! I'm about to be invaded by relatives and then left to fed for myself the next week because everyone will be out on vacation (except for my grandma). Considering that, why don't you come stay a few days?? CALL ME!! (there's a shiny present waiting for you~)

dama_caillean! Thank you for the link to dropbox! Now I'm listening to The Magic Flute

You know, i've always thought that people are optimistic... when it concerns others but not them.

On another note as a reply to your latest comment in news_jpop (i didn't want to continue spamming there ^^;):
I do remember you (and your Tegomass icon!) agreeing on my comment about the possible Kimutaku + Shinohara Ryoko + Keiko Kitagawa drama in Arama. ^^
And now those NWP piggies are love.

Shall i add you? Although i can be a bit slow with my f-list whenever work eats up my life.
I'm Alecsa btw as if that wasn't obvious already.
From Romania. Avid jpop & kpop listener.

I think you're right. I do try to stay positive myself, but it is a lot easier to see the bright side for others. I just hope the friend I was talking about gets a hold of herself otherwise she will never have a fulfilling job...

Hi there again! :D I'm always up to meeting new people, but I don't always have the time because of work, so I understand. Add me! If the Kimura + Shinohara combi does happen, we can fangirl together about it ^o^ I'm also a big Asian-music listener! (not so much DBSK, that I see you like a lot, but you can change my mind~)

I'm from Chile, btw, so we're pretty far away from each other!

[alecsa_chan]

I hope your friend finds the right way to get through her job.

You are from Chile! Weren't those Nobuta charm piggies from Chile as well? You're probably the first South American person in my F-list *happy*!
Good thing you like Asian music because i listen to Japanese, Korean and sometimes Chinese too. But i only flail over NEWS & DBSK (well and maybe CNBLUE recently). I would flail over others as well but i don't have enough time i guess.
I respect your opinion but i'm still curious as to why don't you like DBSK? Maybe 'coz they're kind of overrated and they're practically everywhere ?
As you noticed i'm an avid DBSK lover and i've probably become extremly biased towards them in the past year that i don't have my mind clear right now. XD

A Shinohara drama is a MUST! Did you watch Haken no Hinkaku?

[javiera]

Yes, the nobuta piggies are from here! I've send some of the real ones to friends overseas already, so give me some time and I'll end up doing the same for you. The point of the piggies is to spread good luck to other people, so I love to send them off as far as I can! ♥

I've never met someone from Romania either. Romanian is suppose to have the same roots than Spanish, but that's also the case with French and I suck at French, so I'm guessing Romanian is pretty different. I think I know how to say... salut? yeah, that's about it.

I've been listening to Japanese music for over ten years now, but I didn't get into Korean music until later last year, so I met DBSK when they were already extremely popular (which, as you guessed, is a bit of turn off for me. They just don't need my love! XD) and when they already were in the middle of their law suit and drama situation. It's hard to get into a group when you don't if they're gonna last much longer... they are still around, though, and some other friends love them, so I probably need to

[alecsa_chan]

You are so sweet <3. Weren't you proud the piggies made their way to Japan? And it was due to Nobuta wo Produce - one of the most awesome J-dramas! I will probably enjoy watching it even at an older age

[javiera]

I was more like WTH? Because most people don't have a clue where Chile is so to have it mentioned in such a random way in the middle of a Jdrama made me go LOL really hard XD Of course, I'm very happy it was part of a drama I liked so much. I usually HATE school dramas because the main plot tends to be too basic, but Nobuta was so good! One of my absolute favorites, for sure

[alecsa_chan]

I just watched that MV... I'm speechless and really shocked in a good way there's EITA too! I feel like abandoning the current drama that i'm watching (BOSS - which is also a good one) and start Unfair as soon as possible

[javiera]

Unfair is not the best drama I've watched, it kinda drags during the middle and to some stuff you just scream "wth, people? get a grip!!" but if you like mysteries like I do, you'll enjoy the twists, and there are many of them! Ryoko/Eita are one of my fav actors combi, their interaction towards the end of the drama is fantastic! Though, this drama also broke my heart, just so you know T.T

I watched BOSS. It's a fun drama! Plot-wise is very predictable and sloppy, but they make up for it with quirky characters, nice camera work and a decent ost. I'm still surprised so many people liked it, though.

I found a fanvid about Bad Family. It has spoilers for the main couple, but the story is bigger than that, it's a family comedy :) I don't usually like comedies, but there are exceptions, so I'm downloading You're beautiful as we speak. Let's see if I get enough of a break this week to watch it

[alecsa_chan]

I finished BOSS last night (man did i enjoy that Nodate-san character?) and also managed to watch the first episode of Unfair. I surely didn't expect the bed scene to be in the first episode. XD And how i missed Shinohara's voice. I'll have to watch more to make an impression though; it happened the same with BOSS because i found the first 2 or 3 episodes a bit boring plot-wise but it got better eventually. And i was surprised to see Shida Mirai play that character in the 6th episode. I really like the girl even though she annoyed the hell out of me in 14sai no Haha. I also didn't expect BOSS to gather so much attention among International fans, that's a good start. Wonder when will they start shooting for the second season. I need Nodate back. XD

[javiera]

Nodate totally stole the show in BOSS. And there's gonna be a second season? Nice. Toda Erika is pretty much rocking second seasons by now! She's the reason I decided to watch the drama, but it was the title opener (with the whole group looking so freakingly HOT) and Nodate that made me stay and keep up with the basic plot twists

[alecsa_chan]

The guy who plays Nodate was awesome (and i love his voice - i have a thing for people's voice) and I didn't watch any of his drama apparently. Maybe i should now

[javiera]

A few months before BOSS I watched Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru, a school drama with Takenouchi Yutaka as the lead (and Shinohara Ryoko showed up there too!), I liked him there too, but as Nodate he pretty much rocked! If you like the "teacher that cares" stories you may like that one. I valued that fact that it was about a real school, and what that school is doing for kids in Japan today, but the drama wasn't anything extraordinary. It had a good cast, though
