Meteor Shower

2009-09-08T11:19:49Z

Oh my... Once more. It happened again. I'm sorry. I'm addicted ><

Meteor Shower is the Mainland Hana Yori Dango. And I watched all the episodes. And I'm hooked :D

I was so happy to know that another version was about to be aired but I was busy this summer and couldn't check it out. That's why when a friend of mine told me that it was already over (at least season 1) I was in shock. And I wondered whether I would like it or just hate it, and the truth is that I love it :D It's so fresh! The story is different and sometimes it's kinda boring, let's be honest, but sometimes it's SO exciting! The relationship between Yu Xun (Makino) and Duan Mu (Rui) is developed a lot. Sometimes it is a bit annoying to see Duan Mu everywhere (maybe because they made Haoming look like nothing in this drama u_u) and above all when he ~~shouldn't~~ mustn't be here!
Overall Yun Hai (Doumyouji) is not that tyrannical. He's just an arrogant fool. Besides, he is extremely sweet but sometimes he seems so suicidal OR so mean-stupid that you enjoy it. I mean, it's nice to know a different Doumyouji.
Yu Xun doesn't have the Makino-power that we all know (and that JanDi knew the best xD). She's more cute (always pouting, which can be annoying at times, too) but she also is brave and strong. Although when she is confronted to love matters, she automatically becomes weak. She also cannot bear the pressure at school (since she's bullied) and wants to give up uni. But she's doing her best and it is very easy for you to like her. (Sometimes she gets on your nerves, especially with Duan Mu). But once she figures out she loves Yun Hai, she won't change her mind. (that's nice to see).
Loveydovey episodes: 11, 12, 21, 22, 23, 32, 33(omg sometimes it was way too cute-stupid). Gosh, when you're fan of YunHai&YuXun you really have to wait a loong time 7/36 episodes guys, that's all xD

miyavi still is our number 1

2009-06-18T18:55:11Z

I am SO HAPPY right now! I heard people saying miyavi got married. I didn't want to believe it before I had a precise confirmation, and it appeared since his wife published an entry on her myspace (click here). I am so happy because miyavi finally managed to settle down, you know? I mean, he finally is about to have a baby, to be a father (daddy-miya! XD) and to have the life he deserves. He gave us so much things, and he's not stopping since he's coming back on World Tour, don't miss that, I won't miss the date in Paris (October 7th).
Besides, he got engaged before his first World Tour. Don't you think it's GREAT? It means that he won't leave us. He was the best during this tour, and he seriously was!! Well, I love this artist so much, and now I know that he's happy (I was scared he wouldn't dare marrying someone and having a baby, it's unbelievable!!!). I wish them the best and I am so delighted I can't believe it!
Can't wait to see him in October :D

Random entry about manga

2009-05-29T23:14:17Z

Recently, I got a lot more time because my final exams are almost over, so I have like a week of vacations between exams ^_^

As I was very exhausted (by I don't know what!) I started reading manga again, online this time. I learned that Bokura Ga Ita is no more on hiatus and that chapter 52 will be released in July, which made me really happy, and I also found some other manga, girly-stuff, really not like me! But I still enjoyed them very much ^_^

KissHug
You sure need to be depressed to choose reading a manga with such a title, right? XD. I'm just kidding. Like a lot of "short manga" (only 3 volumes) the story goes straight to the relationship. Well, it's the typical kind of manga featuring a wealthy charming businessman... and a cute but strong girl. Add to this a mother that is really openminded (I mean, she literaly pushes her daughter to be a woman with her boyfriend, to sleep with him when she feels like it...etc...) and you get KissHug. At first, I started it out of boredom, but then I really get hooked by the story. In the beginning, Yukino (the girl's name) tells us that they apparently broke up. Indeed, Ryuu (the guy's name) is an exchange student from England, half-Japanese. He really stands out and it's love at first sight.
Something is sad, the kissing faces are so strange, and overall the profile drawings are weird. But the rest is absolutely great, that's why it's sad.
The series is scanlated by aerandria. As it takes a while (but if you want quality...) I found the 3 volumes in Japanese (raw). You can download them here.

Beast Master
I found this one through aerandria's project, once more. I noticed that it has good ratings and it's even newly licensed in UK or I don't remember where (but OneManga is your friend and you still can download them on Sugar888). This one was rather... funny! I had no idea I would find such a story. It is about a girl named Yuiko who adores animals - but they really don't like her (because she's too much) and who finds herself meeting a really strange guy, Leo, who has scary eyes and who gives you the freaks!). Leo rescues the cat she was trying to save for he jumped on a tree (basically, in order to escape her XD) and the guy leaves without a word. A few days later, she learns that he's a new student in her class. Intrigued by him and wanting to thank him, she approaches him despise his scary look, and they start a really nice friendship. When Leo sees blood, he literaly turns berserk (in his behavior, not physically - even though his eyes still are scary) but when he is normal, he's just like a little kid, cute and stupid at the same time. Leo's wild (he was raised in remoted places) and people are afraid of him but Yuiko manages to change this. As she's the first person to say that she's not afraid of him (because of his berserk side) he starts being really attached to her.
I said it was funny because I would have never imagined Leo as a childish guy when first seeing him. But it really contributes to make the series unique - and sweet. Very good drawings, by the way.

Kimi Ga Suki
To tell you the truth, I didn't fully read it yet. I prefer waiting for the whole series to be released because I just hate waiting when I know everything. This time, it's JShoujo's scanlations, very good work, as always (very long too, but that's why I'd rather wait - Bokura Ga Ita is already killing me). It's a very normal story, though. I mean, a girl, Aki, loves a guy, Mase, she's known and played basketball with for 3 years. The guy also loves her. The day she tries to confess, she meets another boy, Hojo (I guess it's his name) that also loves her. This guy has an accident when trying to protect her, and he won't be able to play basketball anymore. This news breaks Aki's heart and she basically decides to date him out of pity (but then the feeling comes). Will she forget her love for Mase?
I'm happy because the story goes the way I want it to go, I mean, she chooses the guy I want her to choose, even though she acts stupid by hesitating a lot, between her feeling guilty for Hojo and still loving Mase. One thing I love is the drawings! They are absolutely stunning, very clean and beautiful, always equal (there's no strange face out of the blue, that's what I mean) and they reminds me of Bokura Ga Ita's.

Moving and staying!

2009-04-10T12:15:18Z

Hi~~! I changed my layout (it seems like I'm always changing it...) and I added my French blog banner here, hope you'll like it (I had so much fun doing it - especially the little picture of the sweet JoonDi kiss xD)

I just wanted you to know that I'm moving. Since my LJ is all dead - and it sure is - I decided that - as I can't get used to LJ - I'll open my VOX account. So here it is : lumih.vox.com

But I'm still here, of course, but I will mostly post on Vox, I think. XD (since I related it to my Youtube channel - which is where I'm mostly active these days)

I wonder...

2009-04-02T09:15:16Z

Why do people keep comparing what CAN'T be compared? Why do they keep comparing BBF and HYD? I can't get that! That's so different, you can't even say it's a copy or something - no no no no. I can't accept that. xD
JanDi was SO cute at the pool scene! Wow, she was smiling happily, and she was just gorgeous! GHS is just beautiful!

I can die happy =^___^=

2009-04-01T00:01:49Z

It's almost 2:00 am here, I have class tomorrow (or I should say TODAY xD) but I really DON'T CARE! Everything's said in the title! The last ep was epic! Well, seriously, I am happy that this drama just did what I wanted it to do. THANK YOU T^T
This drama drove me crazy, I'm definitely mad, and I'm absolutely exhausted. BUT I'M HAPPY!

lumih @ 2009-03-31T00:34:00

2009-03-30T22:40:27Z

It's horrible! There's one episode left and that's it!
What's with the end? What's that? No~! I really can't stand Joon Pyo being silly! And that Yu Mi girl! Give me whatever version you want, I won't like that character, never!
Episode 24 was one of those great episodes... I really loved it. Ji Hoo is so touching... I'm so sad for him... But well, that's how it's supposed to be, right?
Really KHJ is doing a GREAT job with Ji Hoo. I'm amazed because I really didn't like that character before, and now, it's completely different. Poor guy...
And poor Joon Pyo too. He thinks that stupid Yu Mi girl is HIS Jan Di! No way! And the way he acts toward Jan Di is so mean! But that's why the episode is so good...! Can't wait for tomorrow :(

BBF icons #2

2009-03-18T23:13:07Z

Some icons I did today. At least something nice to do with BBF. (I mean, you know, vidding is cool but as I said, cutting clips is BORING).

(way too much icons, it's scary! / Goo Hye Sun is such a cutie - so is Lee Min Ho, but I mean, it's obvious! XD)

BBF OST #2

2009-03-18T12:35:43Z

Too good to be true. Haha, just kidding. This OST can't replace the Japanese one, but still, it's pretty good. Better than the first one at least.
If you want to DL it I've uploaded it. Click here.

Oh noes >

2009-03-17T18:12:06Z

I SERIOUSLY WANT TO VID AGAIN.

But I can't because I'm lazy.

And don't want to cut the clips.

I suck.

About JJY

2009-03-09T21:10:25Z

I know I wasn't here but I got many problems with my computer. Anyway, now it's fixed.
I heard yesterday about Jang Ja Yun / Jang Ja Yeon ("Sunny" in BBF). I was deeply moved by the news. I created a video tribute just to put my frustration and my sadness away, but it was worst in the end. It's like, when you hear that kind of horrible things, you just want to do something, to be kind of useful. And well, I just can't believe it. And it's sad, really sad.

BBF 14 - And my heart is full!

2009-02-17T23:05:30Z

What can I say, I'm posting here just because of BBF these days. Actually, I have the "good computer" which isn't mine only on Monday and Tuesday and that's amazing because I was so sad to miss all these new episodes (and also because my friends will speak about it and I won't understand a word).
I miss JoonDi. But well~ And I'm a bit sad too because Ji Hoo is so cute. I mean, if Joon Pyo was a big big jerk, I would totally go for Ji Hoo and Jan Di. But NO WAY! That gorgeous scene when he tells her he doesn't even care about her, and that he just "pretended" before, is one of the best scene of episode 14. And the scene when Jan Di remembers the two of them together is heartbreaking, but not as much as Joon Pyo's. He cried and totally lose control of him. And I was SO SAD for him. When he started crying, I was about to cry too xD.
Because what's definitely great with BBF (compared to HYD) is that you can feel the pain, you can understand why Joon Pyo is that way. Yes, you know, and you're just like him, wondering what he can do. Yet, the moment when he buys the shoes Jan Di was looking was totally ruined by that girl!! Oh you know, Shigure was just SO nice, but I just couldn't bear her (because of her role in the story) and same goes for her - don't even remember her name). I don't like it because the way she's presented, it looks like she's Jan Di's twin. And I don't want that, man!
I'm relieved too, because I was afraid I wouldn't like Jan Di. But now that the first episodes are far away, I can say I just love her. She's amazing. And so is Joon Pyo, and so is Lee Min Ho (his acting skills are AMAZING! no seriously, you can't say anything wrong about them).
Thank you Korea T_______T <33333333333

My computer is dead but it's ok u_u

2009-02-16T16:11:04Z

Oh my, my computer is completely down. Don't even ask why I'm not here or something. So I can't be here (haha, yes, I'm using an old laptop I had but it's completely dead too), I can't vid (that makes me crazy actually because the latest episodes were amazing), I can't WATCH BBF! XD. Actually, my father allowed me to borrow his laptop on Monday and Tuesday xD. Don't ask why. XD
I have to fix my computer, so I don't know when I'll be able to buy the thing I have to buy to fix this piece of shit. :)

I can die happy.

2009-01-28T01:24:15Z

Because that Korean HYD is just amazing. I can die happy right now (well, let's wait the end at least). Episode 6 broke my heart, Episode 7 trampled it, Episode 8 healed the scars. I guess Episode 9 will open those scars once more but let's forget about this. I'm so happy that I'd like to watch it yet again but it's too late - or too early, actually - I had exams today and I'm exhausted. It's 2:24am by the way.
For some reasons, it's a bit hard for me to imagine Jan Di and Joon Pyo together. Weird, right?

Do you want to know when I stopped hating Rui/Ji Hoo? When he goes out the hospital room. It's like he knows it probably is a mistake for him, but he also knows she obviously likes Joon Pyo, and his best friend obviously is mad at her. What's the meaning of such a character? He's condemned to let his love go away. That's horrible. It might be the reason why people like him so much. And Boys Before Flowers is - with Meteor Garden that I didn't enjoy that much - contrary to Hana Yori Dango, the first time I think Ji Hoo is worth being interested in (well maybe Lei in MG is better than any other Rui, though, but Ji Hoo is "alive".)

BBF Fanvids

2009-01-24T23:09:24Z

I already started to create fanvids for Boys Before Flowers (as if I wouldn't, right...) and I just want to give you the link to download them on mediafire. Of course they are available at my YT too.

Here is my latest vid XD this was just a crazy idea of mine in the beginning which turned out pretty cool in the end. That's why I can't help laughing when watching it. (Who's enough crazy to think that vid is funny anyways)

Mediafire Links (folder) for Boys Before Flowers fanmade videos.

2009-01-19T21:36:38Z

Oh my god~~~~ episode 5 was pure awesomenessss~

*dies*

(that entry was so useless, my apologies)

Episode 6 was SO HORRIBLE! I so wanted to cry, seriously, that's so rare with me, but when... okok spoilers.
When Joon Pyo finds Jan Di and Ji Hoo together, it was heartbreaking. I was so happy to see him showing "his heart" to the girl he loves, learning the bracelet was a symbol of his love, everything... And I was SO sad when Jan Di just said "Sorry". It seems like episode 7 and 8 are going to be as sad (for Joon Pyo and Jan Di fans at least) as ep. 5. Gosh, I can't stand this! Joon Pyo was so sweet, that was definitely adorable. And now, that Ji Hoo... man! He still ruins everything! XD. I really can't bear that Ji Hoo/Rui. Well, I guess he has his own sufferings, sure, but still...
Something I don't like? The fact that Jan Di isn't that affected by Joon Pyo's pain. Well, of course she is, but for now she seems to enjoy a bit more the fact that she can be at Ji Hoo's side. And I really wonder how they are going to make Jan Di change her mind. Yet it seems that she is falling in love with Joon Pyo step by step. MAN! Joon Pyo did so much things for her! She knows it! She just needs a bit more time... Ok..ok. I'll wait then. But that situation, that kind of tragedy in HYD, I really don't like it. That part is so hard to deal with. T__T
My dark fangirl side was shown. XD

Boys Before Flowers! First impressions (5 episodes)

2009-01-14T15:06:23Z

Oh my god... Such a dilemma... Trust me, Hana Yori Dango (Japanese Drama) is my favorite drama ever. However, if this situation lasts, I'll have to use the past tense. Indeed, if Boys Before Flowers continues to be THAT amazing, I'll have to quit my old loving favorite drama !
First, let me tell you that the Jp cast was nice BUT I've always thought something was missing. And I found it thanks to the K cast. When I first saw Soujiro, Mimasaka AND Doumyouji, I was like : "What's with the crap?". I'm not kidding, haha. But of course, after I watch the drama I was so happy to have overcome my weird first feelings. But you know, this isn't entirely false. I mean, Soujiro and Mimasaka don't look like seducers. When you see them, you can't tell they are such womanizers. And Doumyouji... My first feelings were really bad, I don't even dare to speak my mind. ("What's with the little sheep?!" hahaha shame on me). Yet, something was really clear with Hana Yori Dango, and maybe I miss that part of the story in BBF : Doumyouji was wicked, violent and arrogant because of his loneliness, because of his own sufferings. He was such a bastard with the others and when he met Makino he totally changed. That was amazing in HYD, and it will remain the best part of it (including his progression and his childish behavior).
But, I have to say that Joon Pyo is surprisingly great. First, Lee Min Ho (the actor) is tall and good-looking. That really helps the way he acts. Joon Pyo is confident, he doesn't seem that silly (at least, not as silly as Doumyouji), he makes some mistakes sometimes, he's a bit stupid when some thoughts come to his mind (like Jan Di loving him) but he is not the Doumyouji we all get to know in the Jdrama. And, above all, he is not as violent as him. Though you can tell Joon Pyo is pissed off without even seeing him kicking someone else's ass. You can tell he's a jerk in the beginning, a great and almighty bastard, sure. You're surprised when you see him being afraid of a little small bee. Really surprised! But he still is Doumyouji. (Seriously, we really recognize the plot, but it's kind of different, and to me, it's different in a good way). Besides, when you see Joon Pyo being so caring and protective with Jan Di (like when he saved her when she saw Ji Hoo and Seo Hyun together) and so understanding too, about Jan Di's feelings for Ji Hoo, you can't say that K version isn't amazing. I think Joon Pyo is like the Doumyouji of season 2. He's mature though he's cute. Like we could expect it from a Korean drama, it isn't too much. Except Jan Di, perhaps. But I'll talk about it later.
Then, something that I think is REALLY important, it's Ji Hoo (Rui). Let me say that the Rui we all know was transparent for me. He could die somewhere in the background, I wouldn't see him. (haha). I've always found him anything but interesting (I'm not only blaming Oguri Shun for being emotionless, I'm also blaming the script of HYD). I really discovered who Rui was thanks to BBF. Ji Hoo is slightly better. Even though he seems kind of frail, he has a sort of charisma. He makes me want to see him and Jan Di together. (But of course, forget it, I still am a Makino/Doumyouji, JanDi/JoonPyo lover!) Maybe it's Jan Di who makes him interesting, I have no idea. Of course the storyline helps a lot, since he's a bit more featured than in the Jdrama. I don't know but, I think that probably Oguri Shun didn't fit the role. He was too handsome and too tall and strong-like to be a little Rui, a sensitive and depressed Rui. (haha).
Ok now, let's talk about Jan Di. I don't know what to think about her. Is she a better Makino than Inoue Mao? I really don't know. What I loved in Makino (Jdrama) was her strength and her will. She didn't care about anyone if she could reach her aim. I also loved her determination and her "realization" when she fell for Doumyouji. Overall, Inoue Mao probably was the best Makino ever. But Jan Di has a lot of potential. She is cute but not too much, she's true and she likes what she does. Well, I guess you feel something wrong, right? Yes, I have to say that this comedy thingy is a bit too much. I don't like when she screams like a fool, when she walks like a puppet. But I like her strength when she screams "Do more!". She definitely is made for Joon Pyo. Ok, I resent her hair. What's that? She's not even cute like that. I don't even like how they did her hair, how they curled it for the party. If Joon Pyo hadn't let go off his plate, I wouldn't have think she was cute, haha. I'm just exaggerating, no worries. I think she's a good Makino, I just need to see more of her to decently judge her.
The storyline? I like it. I was afraid I would hate it (because you know, Hana Yori Dango is my favorite drama and I didn't like Meteor Garden at all). I like the fact that she brings him on the hotel's roof to look at the stars (satellites, lol!). I also like Joon Pyo waking up first and covering her to warm her up. I like Joon Pyo's pouts. And I do like all the differences and similarities.

If you didn't want to watch it because you're the deepest fan of Hana Yori Dango and Makino/Doumyouji, please give it a try. You'll be as surprised as me us, because I'm not alone! Lots of people think the same as me. They're right, haha.
PS: The only thing that sucks? The OST. HYD's was the best ever.

Happy Birthday to me !

2008-12-27T11:41:04Z

In the very morning, one of my friend asked : "What is it like to be 19 ?" and I answered : "I don't know, nothing. I feel absolutely nothing." And that was so true ! It was a normal day, at 1:00am. Though he was about to turn 20. I assume 20 is a stage.
Well, I'm happy because I'll take my driving lessons, but I'm scared at the same time. I'll try not to hurt people. Haha. :D

Fabula Nova Crystallis trailer :)

2008-12-20T13:27:58Z

I just couldn't help myself. So I did it. My trailer thingy. <3 I used the original song (I remixed it a bit) and I just wanted to have fun with those 3 trailers (FF XIII, FF Versus XIII, FF Agito XIII).

Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII

2008-12-17T12:16:54Z

OK ! So first thousands of thanks to arya3087 <3 (I love you !! XD) That's only thanks to her that I discovered the new trailers for FF XIII and Versus XIII. Since the first trailer of Versus XIII has come out, I'm in love with it. I remember the very first one, I was so stunned that my mouth was wide-open. Haha. XD
And now !!! Those two "DKS3713" trailers just achieved to kill me. Above all the one for Versus XIII because this game seems MAGNIFICIENT. Get it ? It really is killing me ! Those trailers are just a new obligation to buy that PS3 !

Versus XIII (HD is out !) : My fangirl behavior is so powerful when I look at that guy in Versus XIII (Noctis) ! Of course, it's done on purpose, but well, he's way too sexy for a game like that (hahaha). And that fair-haired girl with him (her name is Stella), I wish it's a story in which he's obliged to fight the girl he likes (I read that she invites him in her kingdom when she meets him). That would be devastating, and games like that are just amazing ! Besides, those 3 new guys are quite interesting too. Though it's always the same kind of people, (I mean sexy, of course, haha), one of them resemble Zack in Advent Children for some reasons (maybe his long dark hair). There is a new guy with white hair and a hood (looks like Shinra, of course) and this power which is absolutely beautiful : Symbols appear behind those who use "the strange power". Those colored lights. And that colored and bright smoke which emanates from the girl's arm. Aaaah I can't wait !

XIII : Well, new characters, and the best of all : The Aeons ! And my favorite (I really don't know why it's my fav) Ifrit ! I guess it was this one, nope ? And I guess there was Shiva too! Besides, it seems like someone's dead in the end. I have to say that my feelings are so wonderful for Versus XIII that I tend to leave FF XIII behind. And the story is still a bit confused. We don't know what kind of things Lightning will be confronted to (with Snow - the guy with white hair - and Oerba Dia Vanille aka "Vanille" - the girl with red hair). But I like the Cocoon/Pulse thingy. Ok I just can't wait now xD

Shock

2008-12-06T14:09:21Z

Something you probably ignore about me. I was one of the greatest fan of Blink-182.

I was in love with their music, the way they were, everything. I can't forget that long period of my life, when I was listening to them every single day, every single hour. Because they were part of my life, and they still are, in some way. When I'm thinking of Tom Delonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker, I'm smiling. After they broke, I wasn't affected that much. You know, I didn't want them to continue with Blink if they didn't want it. If it wasn't done with all of their heart. Tom did something really bad, he just ran away from his friends. But I can't judge him since I don't know the truth. And they just stopped being good friends, stop talking together. The three of them weren't Blink anymore, that was bearable, but they weren't the friends we used to know. It was heart-breaking to me.
A few hours ago, I was listening to "Elevator". A Boxcar Racer song I do love since Mark accepted to be part of Tom and Travis' side-project. It's somewhat nostalgic. And then, I just wanted to know some news about them three. And what I found just broke my heart. First off, Jerry Finn is dead. Their producer. Their friend. I just couldn't believe it. If you've watched The Urethra Chronicles then you know him. If you like Blink then you know him. He's dead... Then, Travis and DJ AM are the two survivors, among six people, of a Jet crash. Chris Baker was in the plane. He died too. Too much bad news for me in only 5 minutes. I was shattered. Travis is safe now, but his condition was critical. He was burnt and all. Wow.
I have to say that I didn't follow ex-Blink member's activities after Angels and Airwaves and +44 first albums. I loved them too, by the way. I guess that AVA fits perfectly Tom, and same goes for Mark and Travis. But I don't know what they're doing right now. I guess Tom is around his second record with AVA. I have no idea. You know, being far away from their actualities doesn't mean I don't care. It means I've turned a page. But learning such things, I'm confused, I really am.
This post seems melodramatic, a bit exaggerated and all, but it really is not. I so love them. I so love what they did with my life ! I so love everything about them. Knowing that Travis was about to die, I feel so ashamed for not being aware of it. Yet it's so far away from me, I mean, this time of my life keeps remembering me bad feelings. Because of a friend of mine. Maybe that's why I turned that page, forgetting the time when I was in love with Blink-182.

Here is what Mark wrote through his website : Himynameismark.
"Hello Again.
November 18th, 2008

hello to you. it’s been a long time since i’ve posted anything here on the himynameismark site. i haven’t had it in me. these past two months have been the hardest times that i can remember, and i hope that we never see anything like this ever again. first losing our dear friend and longtime producer jerry finn, and then the plane crash that happened in september, taking our friends chris and che. even two months later, i still can’t believe what happened, and it’s too much to talk about. but let me say that i think about little chris every single day, and the world is not the same without him. he is one of the best people i’ve ever known. we travelled the world together, spending countless hours on busses and planes, in hotel lobbies and dressing rooms. we worked together, laughed, and played jokes on people. when i saw him in the studio, no matter if it were with blink-182, +44, or an unknown band i was producing, chris would walk right in, introduce himself, make some jokes, and make sure everyone was taken care of. he made everyone feel at home. like they were family. every person he met was a friend for life, and he could talk to anyone. it didn’t matter if it was the biggest star in the world or someone waiting to get into a show, little chris treated everyone as a friend. he was a dear friend to me. i’m so sad that he is not here right now. there are just no words.
i’m also so thankful that travis and DJ AM made it out of the plane that horrible night. travis is a brother to me, and since the crash he has gone through more than i can even imagine. from the day after the plane went down, when i saw him in the burn unit out in georgia, to the hospital here in LA, to seeing him at home, his recovery is nothing short of amazing. every day gets a little better. and not only is he my brother, but also the best drummer and musician i’ve ever seen. the man was born to play drums, and it is great to see him starting to get back into the studio and behind his kit.
[...]
in the midst of everything else that has happened lately, tom, travis, and i have all spoken together. first through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. they’ve all been great, very positive conversations. we’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. it’s a good thing. obviously the first question for a lot of people will be “does this mean a blink-182 reunion?” the answer is none of us know. we haven’t talked about it at all. right now it’s just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect, and let the past be the past. the events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. life is too short.

Oh yeah. Why didn't I cut it, right ? Because I'm just a fool (that's all you need to know about me. xD).
Actually, if I'm writing here it's only for I want to tell you that I'm reading Twilight and I finished the first book a few days ago. I'm reading the second. And guess what ? I rewatched Twilight. And I understood what fans meant by "this movie is great". I won't say it's the best movie ever (indeed, since it's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to me. XD) but it illustrates pretty well the book. Even though the order is sometimes modified and actions too, the Edward from the movie is way better than the Edward from the book (not the Bella though). Yes, the only truth is that Pattinson is a great actor. Or at least, he chose to act in a different way. I read somewhere that he chose to play him as if he wasn't the guy who thinks he's handsome and that's all. He's really intimidated, lost, sad... loving and caring. The atmosphere during the movie is so intense, not only because of him, but also because of the OST ! Wow ! This is an amazing one, seriously. I love almost all the songs played. And when I found out that Pattinson was musician, I was even more amazed. "Never Think" is so powerful. I've always loved guitar and voice only, and I've always loved it when the voice is so deep (I can't explain it, haha). Then I discovered his music and I became aware of something : Robert Pattinson is talented. Can't wait to see more from him (who knew that Diggory would become so famous, haha).

Twilight, VK, OHSHC, BGI > Go !!

I've always been an anime/manga-addict, a while before I started watching dramas. These days, I've totally stopped watching anime. I guess I need to watch dramas from time to time and then I'll be able to watching anime again. Haha. Though, I love reading manga, but as I can't afford those I want for now, I have to wait, or read on the Internet, or also read those I already own (I like to re-read manga sometimes).
Today, I was kind of bored (even though I have a BIG exam tomorrow...) so I watched Twilight (in cam, of course, it sucks so much, I can't wait to see it on a bigger screen), which was quite lame if you haven't read Twilight books (like me in fact). But well, I have to say that Pattinson was pretty AMAZING ! Seriously, the way he acts is great, I can't define it, the look in his eyes is epic. He's really charming. But I didn't like Bella. She was too in love but you can't get why she is. (For Edward, it's easier to explain since as a vampire, when he starts to love someone, he can't help loving her forever, I think that's the theory). I'll read the books soon (probably in English because it seems like French translation is really bad) so that I'll be able to decently judge Twilight. Other than that the movie was rather nice, and the baseball game was really funny (it reminds me of HP).
After watching it, I was kind of nostalgic (don't ask me why). So I started to open OneManga again and I directly focused on Vampire Knight new chapters. Actually, I haven't read the manga so far (I'm on chapter 25 or something) but I'm both curious and lazy so I read a bit of new chapters and learnt great things (but really sad for me). I don't know if you've read it so check it out if you like it, but what's sure is that I can't help myself thinking : "GO ZERO !" XD (I'd like to know what happened between Kaname and Yuki as well. If anybody knows !)
Then, I read Ouran High School Host Club new chapter. Same as VK, I haven't read the manga (yep, I've only watched the anime and bought the first books) but I really want to know what's going on with Haruhi and Tamaki (this is my favourite pairing seriously... Tamaki is like .. Wow !) And I'm so happy to see that Haruhi finally knows that she might love Tamaki (same goes for Tamaki). Then the girl is trying to cause trouble but I'm sure she'll make Tama-chan and Haruhi fall deeper in love with each other. I definitely love OHSHC <33
AND THEN, Bokura Ga Ita. You know, I think that this series is deeply anchored in my heart. I've watched the anime, and read a bit of the manga before I noticed the mangaka was sick. Because of that, the chapters are more and more rare. I don't know why I fell in love with this story, you know. It is quite girlish, too cute, too...! I know that when I discovered the anime, the first time I started it I fell in love with the way it's related, the way Nanami was, the cuteness of the animation, the OST, everything... And Yano. Their relationship is so complicated and so true at the same time. It's deeply sad and dramatic but when sometimes are happy, you're smiling all alone. And the new chapters are SO sad. Seriously, this Yano is hated but I can feel his pain. I'm so proud of Nanami as well. This show is great., the manga is even more great (well, I don't really know since the anime follows the manga very strictly, and there's the fabulous OST...). It could make me cry !

Haha, I don't know why I'm telling all of this crap. Sorry. XD
