Title: Snapshot
Status: On-going
Pairings/Characters: Arashi, OCs, JunxJo (OC)
Summary:
In time for the Valentines Season, Sakura magazine, a magazine which was directly aimed for female readers, was once again in search for gorgeous bodies to conquer their covers. This time, Arashi was graced for the said shoot and as if by fate, Sakura went out from their usual choice of photographer and hired Jo Sashika for the job. Note here: Jo is a professional photographer who graduated with honors in France, meaning the way Jo works in very unusual with those Arashi worked with. Frank and brutally straight are the exact words which can describe Jo and to add some fuel into the conflict, Jo simply can't get along with MatsuJun.. Can Arashi handle the pressure?

Title: Canvas [A fanfic for Lui-chan]
Status: On-going
Pairings/Characters: Arashi, OCs, NinoxLui (fan OC)
Summary:
She was a student taking up arts as a major. The moment when she met him was pure accident.. She was a fan and thought that this chance is something that 'destiny' whipped up for her. He was an idol.. Fame, looks, personality he had it all.. But he was totally taken aback (or maybe by surprise) that there's one fan who is willing to go against all odds for him.. It made him happy but at the same time annoyed him because wherever he turns, she was there.. Will Nino be able to 'firsthand' understand the meaning of the quote: "You'll never know the importance of someone unless he/she disappears from you.."

Is it just me or they look a wee bit alike.. Like siblings, ne? Twins.. Or something.. Or maybe it is indeed just me XD The pics below are Ikuta Toma (come one now.. We all know him..) and Yukina Kinoshita. I think she's a Gravure idol..

Just two Saturdays ago, I went to a Japanese-resto trip with some Arashi fan friends (or should I say Arashi-fan sisters?). We stopped by several establishments and got acquainted with a somewhat authentic Japanese resto named "KABUKIZA".

I always pass by this resto on the way to the gym. It's in Adriatico, a street right at the back of Robinson's Ermita. In terms of environment, the place is quite cozy actually.. I liked the aura of calmness the place has.. Upon entering, we were greeted by the staff with a loud "Irrashaimase~", followed by the sound of Taiko drum. I think they hit the taiko drum based on the number of the customers entering the joint.. Unfortunately, I was unable to take a picture of the drum XD

As for the picture above, I was trying to get a good angle of the resto but I think upon seeing that I was trying to take a picture, the guard posed (I think he simply want to be in the picture) and it would be rude for me not to take his pic XD He did made an effort to pose XD Anyway.. Behold, the entrance of KABUKIZA

Cozy neh? That's the first floor of the joint as well as some hanging decors.. Noticed the Mt. Fuji painting? What amused me is the japanese-like setting they had on their second floor. It's not that you get to sit on a zabuton demo those small chairs that I don't even know the name XD
 

Oh.. If anyone tried to search for me using these pics, you won't since I'm the one taking the pics XD We were required to remove our shoes/slippers before entering the second floor rooms. Honestly speaking, it's my first time eating in this kind of resto.. I got too amused with the set-up of the place that I tend to take pics here and there XD

The food prices were ok.. Considering that we're in an authentic resto.. The items we ordered are their lunch bento. I ordered a Mixed Tempura bento (480 PhP), Kimmy ordered Ebi Fry bento (480 PhP), Karen and Kathy ordered the Katsudon (am I right?) bento (520 PhP I think.. I can't really remember the price..Gomen..) And it's my first time eating cold soba.. I never imagined that it would taste like ginger if you don't dip it in the dipping sauce XD The tempura was deelish.. Lolz~

Pictures above are: (1) Condiments >_< (2) Mixed Tempura Bento (3) Ebi Fry Bento (4) Katsudon bento. Do Japanese really eat this much during lunch? Gomen demo I really don't have any idea XD but I was full.. And satisfied.. And satiated.. It was worth the price.. I think the staffs got amused with us since they kepy laughing when they get our orders.. They also spoke in Nihonggo.. I forgot what they said when we asked for the bill XD

In all, the experience is good.. Please do try to drop by the resto if you have time. Their prices during lunchtime differs after 3PM.. Lunch time is waaaaaay cheaper since they double their prices after 3PM.

Oh.. And I found a copy of Josei Jishin in the shop.. And no.. Arashi's not in the cover nor in the issue XD

Yes~ When it comes to lottery, raffles and other luck-related contests, I sucked.. BIG TIME.. I mean.. I seldom win in raffles and such that's why I seldom join in one.. Okay.. Besides those in Arashi meets, I seldom join in one.. *thinks* Come to think of it.. My name is always drawn out whenever it comes to Arashi-related raffles *coughs* Anyway, we're talking about non-Arashi related lotteries/raffles/draws here..

It's like this.. Last Sunday my parents and I went to SM San Lazaro to stop by the supermarket.. It's my dad never-ending hobby to join the lottery (the 6/45 one I think.. Or is it 40? *shrugs*) and purchase three pieces of those "scratch-the-silver-spot-with-a-coin" type of lottery.. One for him, one for me and one for my mom.. Anyway.. Ruby Riches' the name of this game/lottery/raffle (what do you call it anyway? XD ) wherein you have to match any of your scratched number with the two number found on the left part of the card.. And this is what I got..

Lolz~ The 20 PhP worth of card turned into 300 PhP! Talk about luck! It's not much but still it's money right? Can I consider myself lucky now? Lolz~
