VAH - KAY - SHON.
Hello! I'm not dead. Yet. 8D
In fact, I'm trying to keep up all I've lost about Arashi, like videos, scans and all that stuff. Tiring~... And after discovering that LJ only lets you dig up until 950 past entries, made me sad I cannot catch media from December 27th until January 7th. That's really bad.
But, about my vacation trip, I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to complain. Ah, except by my sister-in-law, who decided to go with us in the very last minute. When we visit our parents at Rio de Janeiro, we like to enjoy family first, and only after the New Year's celebrations we like to walk and see the beauties of the town. And because of her, I had to go to the mall after just putting the luggage down. No need to say I went crawling there, right? And after begging lots to let us rest for the weekend, we took her to a beach in a Monday. My bro didn't want to show her "an ugly beach" (he really said that!) so we took a bus and after a journey of 1 hour and half, we made another hour walking (and risking our lives) to get into a beach called "Praia da Macumba". There were a really strong tide, It was a place only for surfers, I guess, and because of that, my mom, my dad and I almost drowned at least once.
The next day, she went to the bus station to buy her ticket back home, and then we went to walk at the beautiful Copacabana pavement, and even I, who was born in Rio, didn't know yet. It seems a part of Brazil which Portuguese isn't the official language, and that was fun! Here where I live, several languages besides Portuguese are spoken, so I think I felt some sense of familiarity (what am I talking about... o.O). We went to Copacabana beach to look for and take pictures of and with the statue of one of the best writers and poets in this country, called Carlos Drummond de Andrade. What we did not know was that we were far away from his statue. Considering all Copa beach, his statue stays at the beginning and we were in the middle.
But we found him, an after several pics, mom said "why we don't go there?" and we ended up at The Copacabana Fort. I've never knew mom would be so happy to visit there! Her face was priceless. Although, I felt a little claustrophobic inside the Fort. But okay, really. (I WASN'T A SCAREDY CAT LIKE THIS BEFORE! - Sakurai feelings) Mom waited A LIFETIME to visit there, and that's what counts. Not that I didn't enjoyed all the trip we made, but when we was getting to my planned part of it, my bro's girlfriend STARTED CRYING BECAUSE SHE WAS HUNGRY. Come on, she's 22, not 5! After dragging us to the nearest Mc Donald's at Cinelândia (where my course started), dad said the trip had ended and we had to go back to the house of our relatives. GREAT. Ò.Ó
After she left, I felt more comfortable. And I could go where se didn't let me see. Days later, Me, my bro, my mom and dad and a 7-year old cousin (who didn't complained about walking miles and miles and didn't cried because she was hungry). We went to see the Arcs of Lapa, and even went to Niterói by barque (and came back as fast as we went! Really really fun! xD); when we arrived, the clock showed 7pm!
I had a great time also in Barra Mansa. I left Foz do Iguaçu, city I live, in a bus, and the journey to Rio de Janeiro by bus is 24 hours long. Daddy imposed suggested we should stop there and ride other bus which, technically, would leave us in front of our relatives' house. Soon I commented in Twitter my dilemma of staying 3 hours at BM bus station doing absolutely nothing, and friends from the fandom came up to say they could stay with me there. They wanted to meet me. I couldn't feel happier! ♥ What we could not predict was that the bus driver was trying to break a record, so I arrived in Barra Mansa at 9am, when the time expected to it was 9:30. Then I'd spend those 3 hours mentioned with them, which didn't happened. I totally felt I had a debt with these ones who had the concern to go there and meet me. So we scheduled other day to meet, and it was really great!
To mention it, I was Arashi-deprived for a looooooong time, 2 weeks I guess. And They were really warm, and friendly, and I felt at home, watching some parts of shows and concerts (which they let me ask to watch what I wanted), and screaming like a crazy fangirl I am - and they are too, which made me happier. Since I'm unemployed - I REALLY REALLY WANT TO CHANGE THIS CONDITION ASAP - the only access I have to arashi goodies is from here, so the opportunity to touch them was priceless. We don't know its dimentions from here, in my screen they seem so tiny, but when I had them in hand I could know how worthy they can be, I'll never look at uchiwas, concert pamphlets and penlights at the same way. And promptly, I fell in love for AAA 2008 pamphlet and its "children's book" atmosphere.
I came back home on Tuesday the 19th, and since then I cleaned up my room that stood closed all these days, and I'm trying to catch up with Arashi mediathe way I can. I'm really curious about SAigo no Yakusoku and the dramas Sho starred, as Tokujo Kabachi and the other I forgot the name now...
I wanted to talk about The Quiz Show so badly now, but I guess I'll do Monday, to honor the birthday boy! As the days goes by, I feel my love for Kamiyama increases a lot! I know it's not normal, but I feel it, what can I do? *grins*
