Rofl i'm so norak xD; Totally abusing my mobile powers here, on twitter, fb, and photobucket hahah

Anyhoo, i cleaned my room today!
Results? I found $5, another stack of mags in lieu of my shrine, i can open the door without something blocking it, i renovated my shrine, and i can walk around without stepping on stuff 8D
now all i have to do is get my posters up, and keep my room the way it is.

*sigh* if it wasn't for that friending meme, i would be asleep by now...

Well, gotta get some rest; gym and dance tomorrow =T

Well, whatever happens tomorrow, it should be fun 8D

<END POST>

i'm not even that into Big Bang; never heard of 2ne1

but i cannot get this song out of my head!

hi everyone!

niemochan and i have started our daily Japanese study sessions (to get us ready for Japan this August ^o^) and i realized how much fail. we've been on hiragana for...2 days? and--yeah. it's fun, though 8D we reward ourselves with omurice and watching videos hahhaha

and i'm really bad at guessing songs DX see, what we did is we wrote a line from a song that we both know, and we have to read it and guess what it is. i spent, like, 10 minutes trying to guess 「しんじているんだ　あきらめないんだ」 DX -fail-

yesterday, though, we did "intensive reading and writing" XD we looked up the lyrics to a song we both don't know, write the whole thing in hiragana, then we read the other person's. it took us 15 minutes each to read it all~ it was really funny, though, 'cause we read really haltingly and sounded each character out, and we didn't know where the breaks were (for words) and stuff LOL

i read UTAO-UTAO, which was so funny; i was like, "to dokuu ta ou ta o...oh. todoku utao utao XDDD"

anyhoo, yeah, it's fun. i don't know if we can do it today, though, 'cause i have dance and confirmation =3 we'll see?

( here's a meme from <lj user= alta13> )
<END POST>

"Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" by Lady GaGa from "The Fame" album.


really good song~

it's been on repeat for 4 hours XD

okay, this has been on my mind ever since i first saw SHINee's "Love Like Oxygen" MV

1. Open a music player.
2. Go to 'all music'/'library'.
3. Hit shuffle/repeat/randomise.
4. Find photos of the first 15 artists/bands that come up (no repeats and no cheating).
5. Have people guess who the artists/bands are.
6. Paste this in your journal and do it too, so I can have fun guessing as well!

*they're mostly JE (big surprise there XP) so i guess it's really easy =3 i had to skip through a lot because of the "no repeats" rule LOL

and as for #14 & 12 (maybe #10?), if you showed those pics to me, i'd be like, "who are they?!" XD

i had to count all the people in #10 to make sure they were all there ROFL i have no idea who belongs to which group except for a few people ^^;*

hahah, blacking out the names was really fun XD
<END POST>

i was watching the Gymnastics showcase with some people at my house. of course being the Chinen fangirl that i am XD i told everyone that Chii's dad won a bronze medal in gymnastics once.. but i was curious if that really was true. it was information from wiki, after all. (everyone knows how "reliable" wiki is XP) but there was also that news clip about SUMMARY which seemed to mention Chinen's dad and showed a little clip of him doing gymnastics. but since i couldn't understand anything from that clip, i still wasn't 100% convinced. so i decided to research it =D i had nothing better to do anyway >>

Chinen's wiki pages said that his dad, Chinen Kou, won a bronze medal for gymnastics in the olympics. when i googled "Chinen Kou", all i got was Chinen's profiles copied & pasted onto different websites and forums.

then i tried "japan mens gymnastics team bronze". i got this website, http://www.gymnasticsresults.com/olympics.html (hyperlink's not friendly to me these days =/). there, i found that in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Japan won the team finals. unfortunately, the team members' names weren't mentioned.

after that, i googled "japan mens gymnastics team 1992". from that, i went to a wiki article called "Gymnastics at the 1992 Summer Olympics". under "Team All-around", "Bronze", "Japan" was "Takashi Chinen". this being a wiki article, i still couldn't trust its contents. so i googled "Takashi Chinen". a lot of "official"-looking sites came up XD. on http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ch/takashi-chinen-1.html, i was sold.

the kanji for his name, 孝, is translated by Rikaichan (a mozilla firefox add-on. it's basically a pop-up dictionary) as "孝, こう , (n) filial piety". ["こう" in romaji is "kou"] whoever did Chinen's wikis must've used Rikaichan..

in other shorter words, the kanji for "Takashi" (孝), in this case, was misread as "Kou".

JIKEN KEKA! (how i love A no Arashi<3): Chinen's dad, Takashi Chinen, did actually win a bronze medal in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

hmm, maybe i should share this with the community...
