For my own memory.  It's been a lovely ride with these 5 amazing individuals who together created an amazing storm around the world.  Truly proud to be their fan.  I want nothing more than to wish them all the continued best in their seperate adventures until that hopeful day they can reuntie again.

"I don’t, like, date a lot. I don’t meet a lot of guys who I want to go on a date with. I’ll find a guy attractive maybe once a year. But I’m not a lonely person. Me not dating someone is not a lack of anything in any way. I feel completely fulfilled. Yes, when I spark with someone, it’s exciting, but I definitely don’t need that."

perfect comment is perfect quote on why it is totally OK to be secure with yourself and be single.

Since I've started LJ all for the sake of Arashi, my interests in jpop and kpop have grown. Boybands have forever been my weakness. NSYNC had my heart for 5 yrs but it was never to this level of fangirling. From 5 hard drives, countless cd's and DVD's, and a few merchandise here & there it seems that uncle johnny has stolen my soul and my wallet. It doesn't seem like Arashi plans on slowing down anytime soon either so it seems like I'm in this for the long haul..hehe I've tried a couple kpop groups like CNBLUE, F.T. Island, 2PM, Big Bang, Exo, and a couple more in between, but for some reason Arashi still brings me back. I love that they are 5 simple guys who enjoy their job and take their job seriously when they are in "work" mode. As soon as they finish their jobs, they go back to being normal citizens, without carrying that idol life into their private life. That in itself is what made me like them so much more. Not to say that Johnny's isn't without their faults, but compared to the kpop counterparts that I've seen, uncle johnny seems to be doing something right in his business aspect. Protecting his talents and allowing them to live their lives about as normally as they possibly can while being public figures. Naturally, when your a fan of 1 group in Johnny's you end up liking another, and another, until eventually, you realize you have a few groups you stan. Hey! Say! JUMP's songs have always been really catchy and fun and just recently I have started to pay more attention to them, probably because I don't feel like a creeper thinking their adorable now that they are all finally adults. I like that even for a group as large as theirs, they still have that homey feeling and that they all seem to genuinely get along and care for each other. I know that the personas they give when the cameras are on may be different from when they are off, but either way, they are a joy to watch, and in time, I'm sure Arashi's kouhai's will follow in their footsteps with being all around great players in the entertainment field.

omg it's been so long since i've posted here. i don't even know what to write about anymore.

lately i've been listening to alot of YG music. 2ne1 has provided me with countless entertainment and i grew to like them because sandara used to be on ABS-CBN back in the day, and so naturally i grew to follow her in her korean endeavors.

with 2ne1, it naturally spread to big bang. hah. now that they are way past their prime and can develop themselves as true artists.

winner...their music i really like, and it intrigues me that they are so different from typical YG. Minho's I'm him solo is honestly my favorite track on their new album.

then theres exo....wtf at that. damn roommates. only watched for park bom, and ended up following exo too. good lord. whhhyyy are their fans sooo intense!!! i thought arashi fans were intense but then again, korean idols and their fans are super intense and scary that i just want to be a speculator and just watch from afar cuz i'm to frightened at their catfights over their idols....eeekkk

and arashiiiiiiii omg i want to cry!!!! i wish i was in hawaii this weekend but sadly i was not. i spend the ENTIRE weekend on twitter, tumblr, LJ, IG, everywhere looking for any little news about them. what i've noticed from watching how different fans interact, is that arashi fans are alot more mellow than the kpop fans and i think it's because of how johnny's runs his company and his talents. i see so many kpop idol groups whenever a member has a solo gig, sometimes those members aren't there for those promos or performances, and the only time i can ever recall arashi with 1 member missing was when nino was filming iwo jima, and even when aiba had his lung problem he still made it to hawaii. i give my hat off to johnny and even though he may be shady, he protects his idols like no tomorrow, and it seems for the most part, genuinely cares for their well being. i mean, ohno pretty much has every monday off from the vs arashi's i've seen when they give him so much crap in the openings.

well that was alot longer than i expected. let's see when else manages to pop into my mind. :)

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."  

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.  

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

The more you read,
The more things you will know. 
The more that you learn,
The more places you'll go.
