VMAJ 2010...受賞！

ワールド・・・で受賞したばかりの安室ちゃん！
続いてはVMAJでも受賞！

Dennis Hopper...

dennis hopper passed away yesterday... :'(
i always thought he was a badass! and..apparently he WAS !
i only knew him in just a handful of movies--always playing the villain.
but upon reading about him, he was..quite the difficult, badass kinda guy...
here are some of his movies i've seen:

so he's probably best known for Easy Rider. i, myself, have never seen this movie. but i hear about it all the time. and my mother owns this movie (being a motorcycle movie i guess)
i may check it out...
interesting fact i learned, he was like..james dean's protege at the time! wowa!


texas chainsaw massacre 2--who knew?!
alex was a huge horror/thriller/slasher film fan. he showed me texas chainsaw massacre 2 one day and..wowa! is that dennis hopper?? yep, he plays a cop who finds the hideout of the leatherface family..hidden under an old run-down carnival.
the best scene? when he's running and killing with 2 chainsaws on him--with the cowboy hat on!
Pure epicness...♥

omg, another awesome movie!
written by quentin tarantino♥
huge cast... hopper played christian slater's pop-pop.
one of the best scenes throughout the whole movie is when christopher walken is interrogating dennis hopper in his little trailer... this scene is full of dialogue and runs for a good amount of time...

now who hasn't seen SPEED??
i think this was the first movie i actually saw with hopper in it.
playing the bad guy, of course.
speed is a total guilty pleasure movie..i could still watch it now..
keanu was hot ! someday, if my bus gets hijacked and rigged like this...i hope for a keanu-like cop to help me drive it♥

land of the dead...romero's zombie movie that came out recently.
hopper played the big-shot guy....who turns bad...i think..
i can't remember O_o

i'll probably have a true romance night...
of all the movies i've seen with him, that'd be my favorite..
but he's left us with many many great movies that i've yet to see..
rip Dennis Hopper...

CHOP...!!!

OMG OMG! i finally did it...! and i needed it!
i chopped off my super long locks! i mean, it was so long!!! it grew past my tooshy...i mean the hair had HISTORY!! i decided to get a fresh new look.. i got a promotion, summer is coming along, and...hey.. i need to look my age.. (-_-)
the gal who cut my hair thought i was 13 when i walked in... see what i mean!
i feel refreshed and ...much lighter. i even purchased a very very good professional-grade hair straightener..

here's to a fresh new start! *CHEERS*

o and boy was it my lucky day... i went to starby after my haircut and got a tall frapp...the dude messed up and made me a grande instead...so i got a grande for the price of a tall.. lucky lucky day♥

SATC 2...♥

aka SEX AND THE CITY part deux!
yep, i saw it Friday night with my other SATC fan-pal erika♥
i've been suuuuper excited for this sequel!
the reviews had already been out and...well they weren't exactly the best reviews...
but people don't understand that SATC is ..very much fan-driven.
if you watched the series, over and over like i have, you get to know the characters like they're your friends... i can totally understand if you haven't seen the series and went to see the movie.. i would think it was stupid too.. but i've been there from the start♥
the sequel was fantastic! i found myself smiling throughout the whole movie.
o, and let me tell ya...i've never seen a theater packed with so many women!! tickets were pretty much sold out so erika and i got stuck at the second row... i glanced back and noticed every middle-aged woman from redmond.. there were maybe 2 husbands that got dragged along. about half of them were dressed up SATC-style...and plenty of camera flashes going on... it was pretty ridiculous.. then 4 women (they had to be in their 40's) sat next to us...taking pictures, chatting, laughing ...i'm sure they were drunk from pre-movie cosmopolitans. they started taking photos of their feet! really?? hahaha it was like they were back in high school again.
as for the movie, i am fully satisfied.. i think it was a good "closure" film. another sequel is absolutely unnecessary♥ (although i've heard rumors of a ..high school pre-quel?)

i found my turtle chan...!

i know!!! he's so cute you just want to squeeze him♥
but he's mine! and only mine...so back off :D thank yoU!

mister duckie...!

jamus sent me this morning picture text today!
he found a lonesome duckie chilling at his work entrance...aww!!!
where's his family? maybe he's there to apply for a job @ arenanet♥
or...duh... maybe he likes the jamus♥♥
*photo credit: the jamus*

Chromeo is coming...!

EEEEEEEEEEeee!!!
Chromeo is finally coming to Seattle, ya'll!
i was introduced to this band by jamus and...they friggin rock!
AND they'll be performing at my new favorite venue, the Showbox-market.
i'm hoping to get tickets and go!
they'll be here august 12th, you + me...let's go!
♫♫

wii tournament...!

another tournament today @ work♥
super smash bros "brawl"!
i was never good at this game...and still suck...
and because everyone was confused with how the game works, instead of having a tournament--we had a pizza+game party instead!

retro shots...♥

yay! new app--new fun--new photos!

my soul...

hmmm.. i won't lose it...and i don't plan to...
but is this a warning? is my soul trying to escape?
i need to get in touch with myself again...
but wait, i've been feeling happier than ever this past month or so♥
maybe they meant: "don't lose your soul...again"

it was...inevitable...

i don't know if he finally got comfortable with me..or what...
but jamus did it tonight...the inevitable happened...
yes people, he geared up with his headphones whilst playing online SF! aaaah!!!
for those non-gamers out there--in the "gamer" world, a lot of fighting/shooting games can be played online with ANYONE from ANYWHERE around the world... (wow!)
and to make things feel even closer to home, people can purchase a headphone that comes fully equipped with a microphone... now you can have a conversation with that unknown SOMEONE you're playing with and...become friends if you wanted... or yell out jokes and swear words.. whatever floats your boat.
to me, the "headphone" was like the epitome of gamer geekiness♥
jamus said he'd never wear one..or even want one.. but i've noticed changes these past few months... and voila, he wore it today.
but i can't judge him... and i really don't care.. i just find it funny...
and this picture? what can i say, he looks too happy and cute♥
go team jamus!

blended coffee drinks...yum♥

this is precisely how i feel on the weekends..well everyday actually...
now that summer is getting close, my thirst is ready for some blended coffee drinks!
jamus made a great suggestion... getting a frap-machine!
why not?
then i could make all the blended goodness for myself and not shelling out 4 bucks per drink

The Eraser...♫

so i own this DJ Sasha CD, "Invol2ver". i've had this for years...
"Invol2ver" is a progressive house and breaks mix CD.
love all the songs...especially one called "The Eraser -Sasha Invol2ver Remix"
turns out..it was a remix of Thom Yorke's song "The Eraser"!
i just discovered this today!

i purchased Thom Yorke's super famous solo album "The Eraser" today and i recognized the first song from Sasha's compilation cd...
how embarrassing...i always seem to discover music backwards...

くりくりくり♫

日本に住んでた時、よく近くの（電車の）駅でくりを買って食べてました。
昨日久しぶりにくりを買ったの！美味しかったわ～
そういえばアメリカではなかなか「くり」と言う食べ物 / 料理ってないよね～
もう一つの　“日本人に生まれてきてよかった”　瞬間でした♥

hide&seek @ world music awards...!

安室ちゃんのパフォーマンスは「hide&seek」だったそうです♥
パリス・ヒルトンが安室ちゃんの名前をちょいっと間違えたのも面白い、アハ！（笑）
来月アメリカで放送されるけど、安室ちゃんのコーナーはカットされるのかな？
ぜったい放送してほしい！
あと、レッド・カーペットで着てたあのドレスはFENDIだそうです！
超キレイ！
speaking of FENDI, 来月のJAPAN-VOGUEの雑誌に安室ちゃんがKarl Lagerfeldに撮影されたフォト・シュートが載る！との噂も・・・きゃ～！楽しみ～！

picross...in 3D..!!

jamus totally surprised me!
he bought me the new 3D picross DS game♥
i may have blogged about picross before..but it's my favorite puzzle game!
so addicting..and lotsa fun!
i've been checking online for a while waiting for a new picross game since i solved all the puzzles...(and actually, i've been re-solving the same puzzles just because..)
but nothing new...no announcement...
of course, i stop checking and BAM! a 3D version came out!
i am hooked♥ it's 3Dimensional so it's a bit more challenging.. it's also taking more time to solve so this game will last me longer☺
thanks jamus! awesome awesome awesome

so...umm...

......
i got a promotion today, ya'll!
i'm happy...yea, of course. excited, happy...but more-so, i'm nervous, scared and...
anxious... i want to celebrate with joy buy honestly--i'm scared!
my managers believe in me, and they know i can do it.
i know i can too but...i'm just not so sure what to expect. i was comfortable with my current position but of course, it got to a point where i wanted to do more.
now that it's official, well...now i'm scared! oy!
i start training on june 1. i got time to prepare myself.
here goes to a new start! maybe i should get a haircut this weekend to go with the newness♥

maneki neko-chan!

well this was a surprise..
jon went to san fran over the weekend and bought some fellow co-workers gifts!
i got a maneki neko from the china town district, woo!
he's red and awesome!

spinach and strawberries...who knew?!

our monthly party @ work...
this month, the department decided to go deliciously healthy♥
strawberry and spinach salad..omg! it was so good!
also mixed in with goat cheese and crushed almonds, YUM!
vegetable skewers and strawberry shortcake with HWhip cream
i have to say, this was probably one of the best party foods we've had.
it's usually hot dogs, burgers, nachos, chips, etc.
they got creative today, i approve!
