1. The difference between "successful" people and "unsuccessful" people, is their drive.
And as much as there are smart, intelligent "successful" people, there are just as many less eloquent, slightly 'rough round the edges', less intellectual people who are "successful".
People who want to succeed, succeed eventually (because they won't accept anything less). Hasn't that always been the basis of so many quotes from successful people?
So many things to express on this and academic elitism in Spore - till next time, or I might never post publicly.
2. Too many things in my head to write this down properly, might be the meds. Falling sick a day before the start of the A Levels is not a great feeling. The throat's really killing me and the freezing temperatures in the exam hall doesn't help one bit.
Though I think that sitting for 3 papers in a day is a feat that deserves to be applauded (hence time "taken off" to post this). I do feel quiet satisfaction for my essay and Bio was surprisingly straightforward (though I'm not sure if that's a good thing)
When I stop to contemplate how this exam will potentially determine my future, never have I felt such insecurity after each paper.
Such thoughts will be banished before the next paper, but for now, my still tingling fingers need a break (after 5 hours of non stop writing).
Side note: There's an amazing number of boosters/medication needed for travel to Sri Lanka - Hep A, Tetanus, Typhoid, Polio, Meningitis, Malaria. Thank goodness we were all vaccinated for Polio and Typhoid in primary school, so I only need 3 jabs and anti-malarials.
Earlier today I received some very exciting news from Anise & Cloves and this really involves one of J-Pops♥ most prestigious stars~☆!She debuted with such honors garnered through record breaking firsts in numerous sales and age categories~..and although I must shamefully (*´艸`) say that I've followed her music only through her early years from her debut with "Automatic" up till her third album (._.;)!....this is just such overwhelmingly exciting news for all Hawaii J-Pop♥ fans~! \(^o^)/☆ We truly haven't experienced an artist of this magnitude since Amuro♥Namie which seems so so long ago (;´□`)!
From Anise & Cloves I've heard the early details that Utada's concert will be held on January 15th, 2010 at 8 pm at our very own Pipeline Cafe....(which has hosted past H!P events) furthermore tickets will go on sale this coming Saturday and are only and I say only $30! ^ ^!I have a prior engagement at this time but I'm hoping to reshuffle something in my calendar to be able to attend too~.
Wow, that's a long 4 months since I last blogged. Hehe, well yeah same old excuse... I was busy with work. As some of you might know, I moved from my previous work in fFurious to Qais Consulting. Things are quite fast paced there and it's definitely challenging but at times tiring. But it's alright... I'm just thankful to have an awesome job still and be in the company of some of the best in the industry.
So with bated *breath* (・д・`*) I wondered if this could possibly be the very first Momusu single~ that I'm not very fond of? Hmm....so not the case so....um Henkka aka "Henttai" now (^-^*) you may still make fun of me being so easy to please and liking..."everything?"…(^q^)! I'm still waiting for their accompanying pv DVD single to arrive so for now there are at least two pv versions to enjoy in the meantime~ ^ ^!
So this is Kohachan's last single with Momusu (;´□`) and while I still long to hear more songs specifically written for graduating members as with "Never Forget" and "Koi no kioku", still this is a *wonderful* single to remember as Kohachan's last~. "Kimagure Princess" is no doubt a throwback song~ taking the listener way back to two most prominent singles...those being among Tsunku's most creative masterpieces I think...in both "Koi no dance site" as well as "Happy Summer Wedding."
Morning Musume's "Kimagure Princess" can be ordered here at Cdjapan.
Both Japanese & Korean versions of Morning Musume's "Kimagure Princess" can be ordered herer at YesAsia.
Morning Musume's "Kimagure Princess" can be ordered here at HMV Japan.
Admittedly at first after hearing of vocal manipulation and maybe possibly some oddness??....I was so expecting Tsunku to have penned a single among the likes of his most awesomely quirky ヽ(。´▽`。)ノ。"Chokotto Love♥!!"
Still one of the best strange songs that Tsunku has written to date~...the first time I listened to "Chokotto Love" I was like..E~h?! (・_・); but by my second listen I was is love♥ ………(゜∀゜)………。with this so fun song~! The pv is also quite priceless too~ so I've included the music video just below of my babbling here ↓↓↓。
(*sigh*) it was Sayaka's first and last single with Pucchimoni as she was soon to leave even Momusu (;´□`)。。。and it also marked about the central moment of Japan going from their most unique 3" CD single format to the conventional full sized disc for singles~. I say 'central' because I always found it quite interesting that Pucchimoni's "Chokotto Love" came in a full sized CD jewel case while the disc itself remained as a 3" sized disc~. Songs and Tsunku's imagination just doesn't get much more fun than this single♪♪~!!Quirky *perfection* o(*´∀`)o゛~♥。。。

Recently much of Momusu's LE's have included the now standard additional DVD~ leaving fans I'm sure wanting something just a little bit more out of the ordinary?....Here we'll receive the "Dance Shot Ver." of "Kimagure Princess"'s pv on LE type A, their "Close Up Ver." on LE type B (which is actually really mesmerizing!)....while the RE includes an application card for Momusu's release event which you need to be in Japan for~.
It's however LE type C which includes the most collectible extra♥!
It includes five two~sided alternate cover jacket sleeves with one for each individual member as well as an alternate group photo~!
Everyone has most steely looks in these solo covers~ with Aichan♥ being the most capable of seducing the camera~! I've included complete scans of each extra jacket sleeve just below...

I truly read each and every comment and PM left here taking everything to heart♥~ and although I know I've been late so often recently (ノロ≦。)!with replying it's really your comments and messages that have meant so much to me being here and writing this blog♥....I truly wouldn't be here without you♥~writing to me. *Thank you* so much for everything~!
♥MB o(*´∀`)o゛♥♥♥~!
Hmmm...I'm a bit hesitant to open up the sealing on Momusu's latest single "Kimagure Princess" (._.;)! as I'm a bit worried that this may be the very first single by them that I'm not going to like? (*´艸`)!!While I'm yet to hear a single note or vocal from this single I've just been reading a lot of not so good thoughts on it so I'm very hesitant to listen as their singles stare at me from across the room......
And Yay~! a complete pv collection from Arashi♥ is finally here~!!! o(*´∀`)o゛So many awesome pvs that we can finally watch whenever we want too♥~! I haven't watched "Sakura sake" in such a long time...(´⌒`。)!!So many pvs♥ here to love so I think I'll just play them over and over until someone♥ makes me stop!!…(^q^)!! If you don't hear from me for awhile you now know what happened.....(。ーωー。)!
I was really happy (pun maybe intended (*´艸`)!) with so many of the happy/*Smile* T-shirt designs~ from the latest H!P concert tours~!! (*´∀`*)。。。。。so the real dilemma came from which ones to choose??? (・c_・;)?Colors are important so that was one consideration but more importantly which members to choose as I was only allowing myself two member shirts from these releases~ (人∀`*)。
I really wanted two group shirts for sure...those being Momusu's and C-ute's and I really really so *adore* those happy face icons for each member on Momusu's...so so cute too!! as you first guess which belongs to each member from the front and then on the back of Momusu's shirt are the complete list of member's names next to their happy (^o^)'s~! Sort of like answers???.....maybe my imagination is much too strange~…(^q^)!
I ended up choosing Koha♥chan's solo T-shirt set and it really became an easy decision as this is perhaps her very last T-shirt set as a member of H!P...(;´□`)!!!This most likely will never be worn as it's rather like a last collector's item from one of Momusu's most *adorable* members~ and definitely their most energetic!!! っo(*´∀`)o! Momusu's included a nine photo set while Koha♥chan's came with a two photo set (always ♥ the fighting pose~!!!) as well as a cute wristband which also bears her happy face icon~♥ ^ ^。
C-ute's latest concert T-shirt set includes six member photos and their "Cutie Jump" tour logo~ all in a sort of army green?....and I'm just happy to have one last Ume photo from her final tour with C-ute..I can't believe she's graduated already (;´□`)。。。while Manoeri's was so much a must have as not only do I love red but it's also her debut solo concert T-shirt set~ o(*´∀`)o゛♥!Manoeri's also includes two photos as well as a name wristband~. The piano silhouette jumped at me from when I very first saw Manoeri's design and it's so so so so so so perfect!!! Her girl next door idol image + piano♥ = pure ~♥~! o(*´∀`)o゛。
Here are the accompanying member photos...once again in order♥:
