言葉にできない思いをもてあましてるなら

I just watched 'Yasuko to Kenji' and I thought the main thing I would write about is Tacchon -- and he was awesome and gorgeous in this drama ♥ -- but there was this one line of dialogue that completely got me.

『マジでケガする５秒前だ』 says Kenji to Erika.

IT'S A REFERENCE TO HIROSUE RYOUKO's 『MajiでKoiする5秒前』 ISN'T IT? IS IT? AHAHAHAHAHA. I LOVE IT.

OK, but yeah, Tacchon was gorgeous in this drama. JUST LOOK AT HOW HE SPARKLES. ♥







Amd the story is cute, fun, and occasionally touching. And I love Hirosue Ryouko. ♥ AND I WILL BE LISTENING TO 『MajiでKoiする5秒前』 ALL DAY NOW. ♥

Download here, if you haven't heard it before. IT'S ADORABLE. /mild capslock abuse.

I have a new drama obsession. 'Koko wa Greenwood'. IT'S AMAZING. I just ... I can't even put into words how fun it is for me. ♥ And I love the soundtrack so, so much. I might check out the manga and anime too ... but probably not. XD I'm just having a hard time enjoying anime or manga lately. Sigh.

Anyway, I have a crush on Miura Riki who plays Mitsuru.




I cannot wait until the second episode. ♥

I'm downloading episode two of 'Code Blue' right now, will post thoughts on it after I watch.

I'm excited to see 'Yasuko to Kenji' too, mostly for Tacchon, although I like the other actors in it as well. I was reading Tacchon's ja.wiki the other day, and apparently, he lost five kilos for this role, since he's playing a 美男 role. But ... Tacchon was a 美男 even five kilos ago? XD I dunno. Whatever.

I wouldn't mind losing five kilos right now, myself ... My workout regimen is still going well, although I think maybe I should work out a bit more. But I'm lazy and I've been feeling run down lately, so I'm not sure. I'll just work on keeping up my current regimen, I think. XD

Three last random things.

1. I am kind of sad that Shirota Yuu has graduated D-BOYS. But he's not leaving the entertainment world or anything like that, so I guess it's not that bad. I love Shirota. ♥ I really want him to release more music, his voice is so beautiful. 　

2. I need to decide whether to get Maru's or Tacchon's con goods. Or will I be stupid and imprudent and get both? ._.

And last but not least ...

3. HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, SHIGE. ♥

The first episode of 'Code Blue' was great. Kousaku (Pi's character) is cool. That's the only word for it. He's really serious. What he had to say near the end of the episode showed the 'warped humanity' we were promised in the write-ups. He's a little too interested in operating on people. But other than that, not much is clear yet ... and it's killing me. XD

Kuroda is cool too. Curmudgeonly characters are fun. And I'm a sucker for sappy stuff and cute comedic scenes, so Kazuo and Miki were a high point of the episode, too. LOL, her insults rule. 'You're losing to him in looks and skills.' (Said in comparison of Kazuo to Kousaku. Harsh. XD)

I like all the trainees so far, this looks like it's going to be a great drama. And the ratings were awesome. 21.2％!

I learned several medical terms this episode. Thank you, dramanote and Jdrama.cc. XD

輪状甲状靭帯切開 -- cricothyrotomy
若年性糖尿病　-- early onset diabetes
腎不全 -- renal failure
熱射病 -- heatstroke
静脈路 -- venous path
急速輸液中 -- quick transfusion
口腔内 -- mouth cavity
心電図 -- electro-cardiogram
透析 -- dialysis

I didn't even know the English word for cricothyrotomy until now, lol.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MASSU AND JIN ♥ ♥ ♥

I've been feeling run down lately. I think it all comes down to my current mental state, though. I've been feeling depressed and my physical health has followed my mood in its descent. I feel OK right now, though. Yay.

And, on the bright side, I put myself through a workout yesterday. My goal is to work out more often. I did some Tae-Bo-ish stuff for half an hour, along with some push-ups. I only did two sets of twelve, but it's something. My goal is to lose ten pounds this summer and tone up, which means more push-ups -- as well as other body weight exercises -- and some weight training. And I think more plyometric exercises would be a good idea ...

I have to get to a point where I hate my body a little less. XD

'Code Blue' will air soon and be available for download. ♥ ♥ ♥ I'm so excited. I think I'm going to be relying on the scripts at dramanote a lot, though. I mean, if Gakki, a native Japanese, had trouble reading and understanding the medical terminology in the script ... yeah, I'm going to have some difficulties. XDD But it'll be a good opportunity to work on my Japanese. 実力アップになる。

So, I already have an LJ, but I wanted to get one of these too ... I love the layout of FC2blogs. And everyone else has one, so I wanted one too. XD

For my first entry, I'll complete a meme. XD I was tagged by Rin.


Instructions: Remove ONE question from below, and add in your personal question, make it a total of 20 questions, then tag 8 people in your list, list them out at the end of this post.

1. What is the biggest lesson the past one year has taught you?
継続は力なり
In English: persevering through something difficult makes one stronger. And it's true. My Japanese has gotten better for my studying. I've improved my physical fitness through hard work. I've been trying to improve my mental outlook on the world, and it's kind of worked, because I kept at it. So I guess I've learned the importance of tenacity, although I still have problems finishing or continuing things.

2. Have you given your first kiss away?
Yeah, I guess so. XD

3. A skill or hobby you want to pick up?
I want to learn more languages. English and Japanese aren't enough, I want to know Korean (working on it, slowly), Spanish, French, and maybe Russian. ♥ And I wouldn't mind learning more Latin, so that I could better understand the underlying roots of English and other Latin-based languages. ♥

4. Where is the place that you want to go the most?
Japan! Other than that, I'd like to visit Germany, Spain, and possibly Korea.

5. Obssesions, addictions, or guilty pleasures?
I am addicted to JE and Yamapi most of all. ♥ That's pretty much it right now.

6. Do you believe in seeing a rainbow after the rain?
I guess I sort of believe in it in the metaphorical sense. Sometimes good can come out of the bad, yeah.

7. Do you believe in fate?
I believe that we're limited by our circumstances, and so in a sense, some things are 'fated', and we're predisposed to certain actions. If that makes sense. I forget the philosophical terminology. EDIT: Determinism and Compatibilism, that's it.

8. If you win $1 million, what would you do?
JAPAN, HERE I COME.

Yeah, I'd probably blow some of it immediately on a trip to Japan, something to help my parents (whatever they needed/wanted most at the time), and then save the rest for me and my family.

9. If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
I'd prefer to be confessed to.

10. List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you.
This is tough, since I only know Rin online, but I think I can do it. 1) Ambitious. 2) Clearly very intelligent. 3) Friendly.

11. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?
Kindness, intelligence, and gentleness, I guess. I don't know. I haven't even had a relationship yet. Oh, my wasted life. D:

12. Which type of person do you hate the most?
False people. Two-faced people. Prententious people. Those who look down on others, and are dismissive of those they consider beneath them.

13. What is your ambition?
To have a successful career in my thirties, as either a librarian or translator. Probably librarian. I've always kind of wanted to be a singer, but I don't think I really have what it takes. But I'll always have karaoke~ XD

But really, I ... kind of don't like thinking about it. Agh, the future, I fear it. XDDD

14. If you have faults, would you rather the people around you point out to you or would you rather they keep quiet?
TELL ME. If they can tell me in a helpful way, not an 'I'm better than you, HAHA!' way. (Kind of the same as Rin's answer. XD)

15. What do you think is the most important thing in your life?
Family (includes my cats), friends, fandom. Love. All of my loves keep me going.

16. Are you a shopaholic or not?
Not when it comes to clothes, because I still have problems with my body. I still hate it, most of the time. For other things, hell, yes, I'm a shopaholic. CDs, movies, books, etc. I go nuts for that stuff. Especially CDs. I LOVE MUSIC. ♥

17. Find a word to describe the person who tagged you.
Charismatic. It's tough, 'cause like I already said, I only know her online, but I think that word fits.

18. If you have a chance, which part of your character would you like to change?
My tendency to worry excessively.

19. What is the worst thing that happens to you?
School. The social aspect, anyway. For the most part.

20. If you had to make 3 wishes on the spot right now, what would they be?
1. I'd want to be in Japan.
2. I'd like a boyfriend. XD Yamapi. ♥
3. I'd like for my future path to be clear, for me to know exactly what I need to do to achieve my goals. Right now, I'm not totally sure, and the uncertainty kills me.

I changed one of the questions, but ... everyone I know has already been tagged. OH, EXCEPT YOPO. Yopo, I tag you (if you want to do it, that is XD).
