Ekkusu no Studio phase 4.1.
Happy 44th birthday, dearest Yoshiki ♥!!
The last time i updated my skin was on Yochan's 43rd birthday, and a year had passed. I'm glad that his surgery went fine and i hope he's recovering well. Don't neglect your therapy, Yochan, and hope to see you next year in China ^^
God bless your abundantly!!
(o^___^o)
love,
ekkusu

Idiots who don't give way to alighting passengers in bus, mrt or lift: be ready to get a whack on ur big tummy when u see me. I'll just walk straight and let my bag do the talking! And hopefully at that time i'm carrying around my 3-inches-thick thesis reading file so that its weight knocks the wind off you!

felt like the blood in my head is going to clot, was so stressed just now. so called obachan, and simply went crazy on her xD whew, that felt good. obachan, arigatou na xDDDD last semester also, while talking to obachan i was laughing and giggling like nobody's business in the sewing room, and CK commented that i was so happy. well perhaps it's because if i call obachan our talk will always be the crazy stuff, the japanese stuff, all the stuff that makes me happy.

regarding Mayonaka no Shadow Boy MV Making.
10:24 pm
yey, finally subbed by newshfan!! click here to get to her post! ^^ as i said, this PV-making was hogged primarily by the Hey Say Best-ers, and the 7-ers were left posing awkwardly in front of the camera, or being awkwardly silly and pointless when they're in view. but, perhaps it's the age difference?

before i begin anything: HAPPY BIRTHDAY NING-NING!!! may you have a blessed and successful year ahead! we'll concquer this fashion show and emerge as survivors!!! ^^
11:38 pm
i'm still unsure whether the theme this time is "party" or "celebrity" o.O there are several different translations to the theme this time, but the point is that yamapi asked the fans to come to the concert dressed up as though they're going to a party, or maybe to dress up like a celebrity? xD

this afternoon pearwee came to my school to see some photo exhibition which, i thought, was somehow related to her current project. apparently it was useful, i'm glad i asked her to come ^^ in the end we chatted with the person who was organising the exhibition about loads of things.
11:54 pm
does this sound familiar to you: watching TV late at night whereby the advertisement kept playing the same thing over and over again? apparently it doesn't only apply to indonesian or singaporean tv. i've been watching koichi domoto eating the same instant dessert for about 30 times now, within the past 15 minutes >____<>

right. assessment is around (roughly) a month's time, so it's time to start my youtube fast. eventhough youtube currently makes up less than a third of my time online (mostly it's on One Piece, newshfan and facebook -_-) it's still a start, yea?

here i am, sitting in front of my comp, TVAnts opened, Nihon Terebi streaming, and i'm watching sekai no hate made itteQ!! =DDDD remember i said that there was one episode in which they collaborated with 24hr-terebi to look for some ancient gold coin in a river, but it was cancelled due to rain and flood warning? this week they're resuming it!! ^_____^ i don't think they're still with 24hr TV then, but nevermind, tesshi looks more stunning with that red tight suit rather than with the yellow t-shirt of 24hr TV xP oh my, he's SO skinny v_v

so, yesterday i learnt how to use the website http://www.tvguide.or.jp/ to browse through the TV programmes from several channels at once. i still can't figure out several things, like for example why isn't there any sekai no hate made itteQ scheduled on anywhere when i though that it's broadcasted every saturday...

i've not blogged about this before (to my surprise) but a few weeks back, NEWS performed during the 15th anniversary of CDTV and they performed Happy Bathday. knowing the date of the live performance beforehand, i combed the www to find a programme that would let me watch TVK (the channel that broadcast the performance) live on the internet.

this morning, when LR came into class he told us that "veli said that she's reached her melting point already, how many of you are feeling like her?" and continue to tell us to take a break once in a while (but still emphasising that we shouldn't do it for too long) and that when we came back we might be able to see the result, instead of forcing ourselves to keep doing and doing and in the end duno what we were doing.

the very next day of the previous entry's story, i still haven't finished my reading and sorting out my thoughts, but i did some writing, a small mindmap that she suggested me doing, so i looked her up at about 5.3pm and she was having a meeting or something i think. she gave me the sign of"stop", quite literally meaning that "no, i can't see you right now" but in the end she went to the door and talked to me. i just told her that i haven't done my reading and stuff, and after briefly scanning my mindmaps she reminded me to plan my research and to go see her again on the next day, and friday.

in cold storage, i was going to pick up a bottle of kaya for my mom, and there were 2 ladies beside me who quickly made a way for me. then, not knowing which one would be better, i took my time observing and reading the bottle while contemplating.

Phase 3.2 (2008)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/ekkusuphase32c.jpg
featuring: Yoshiki
about: Yochan underwent a surgery to correct his spine, a problem that had persisted since 1995, when he finally started to feel numbness in his fingers. the surgery went fine, thank goodness. hopefully he will recover completely and it doesn't affect his piano playing. as for drums...don't forget your neck braces everytime you drums, yochan!
etc: read below xD i've made too many layouts featuring Yoshiki i don't wish to repeat myself =P
Phase 3.1 (2008)
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/?action=view¤t=ekkusu3.jpg
Featuring: Versailles
Background: formed in 2007 by founding member Kamijo (ex Lareine) and Hizaki (ex Sulfuric Acid), they released their debut single Revenant Choir which tells a story about a clan.
Just as like Kamijo's past works, Versailles tells a story through their symphonic metal music and extravagantly elaborate costumes inspired from antique European era.
Members: Kamijo (vocals), Hizaki (guitar), Teru (guitar), Jasmine-You (bass), Yuki (drums)
etc: Versailles beautiful music managed to win my heart totally. saddened by the loss of Jasmine-YOU in 2009, but i hope the 4 of them will still make great music from now onwards. rest in peace, Jasmine-YOU, and watch out for the guys from up there...
Phase 2.0 and 2.1 (2007)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/arsenal_x/ekkusu2.1copy.jpg
featuring: S.K.I.N.
Background: Formed in 2007, performed first during Anime Expo at the States in May.
Members: Yoshiki (drums, piano, guitar), Gackt (vocal, piano), Sugizo (guitar, violin), Miyavi (guitar, shamisen)
etc: ekkusu phase 2.0 was lost because i didn't save it in photobucket (because it refused to upload it properly).
and so, from now i'll start my skin from phase .1 instead of .0
Phase 1.2 (2006)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/ekkusunostudio1-3.jpg
Featuring: Hiruma Youichi
Model's background: manga character (Eyeshield 21)
More about the model: quarterback of Deimon Devilbats, The Commander From Hell;
the backbone and the brain behind Deimon High School's American Football Club, The Deimon Devilbats.
Icons: various facial expressions of Hiruma, the maniacal, elven-faced leader of Devilbats ^^
Etc: Eyeshield 21 is a sports manga about American Football and it's one of my current favourite.
My rating for them is:
hilarity 10/10
excitement: 9/10
intellectual level: 9/10
drawing: 7/10
characterisation: 9/10
Phase 1.1 (2006)
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/?action=view¤t=yoshiki56trialwithrollovercopy.jpg
Featuring: Hayashi Yoshiki
Model's background: leader, drummer, pianist, main composer of legendary band X Japan (1982-1997); leader, drummer, pianist,
guitarist, composer of band Violet UK, debut coming soon.
More about the model: Yoshiki in the early X Japan era in early 90's when he still has long curly locks.
Etc: YOSHIKI IS MY HERO AND IDOL!
Phase 1.0 (2006)
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/th_yoshiki46copy.png
Featuring: Hayashi Yoshiki
Model's background: leader, drummer, pianist, main composer of legendary band X Japan (1982-1997); leader, drummer, pianist,
guitarist, composer of band Violet UK, debut coming soon. Born in Tateyama, Chiba (Japan) in 20th November 1965 and currently living in Los Angeles, California (USA).
Head company of Extasy Records, Extasy Japan and Extasy Records International (now defunct). http://myspace.com/yoshiki
More about the model: the faint background picture of Yoshiki was taken in the recent years when he's already cut his hair short and
started the habit of wearing sunglasses.
Icons: pictures taken from Yoshiki's house in LA: his front door, piano in the middle room, dining room and swimming pool.
Etc: I can write essays on Yoshiki, but let's just keep it simple and straightforward: YOSHIKI IS MY HERO AND IDOL!
