Well, although i have a full load of homework and assignments i should be doing and exams to be studying for, i still managed to find time to watch the olympics~ I really enjoy watching gymnastics... i was sad that i missed the women's artistic gymnastics on tv, but i ended up watching some clips on the tvnz website... and i was glad that i was able to watch the finals for the men's gymnastics tonight! i enjoyed it~ i loved watching the gymnastics, probably because i used to do gymnastics a few years ago, although that was rhythmic rather than artistic.. but we trained in the same gym as it was in the same club... well anyway, china won the women's gymnastics, and in men's individuals, yang wei (is that his name?) got overall gold.. and japan's uchimura kohei got silver... (he was pretty good looking ^_^;;;....) and the chinese guy was pretty cool haha.. i can't wait to watch the rhythmic gymnastics!! anyway, after gymnastics, they played the badminton mixed doubles quarter (?) finals (yay badminton~ i stopped gymnastics a few years ago to focus more on badminton.. so im a badminton player...).. although on tv, it was really stupid, they skipped the beginnings of BOTH sets in the match =___=;; and the match was only 2 sets anyway... i'm pretty sure it was quarters... well anyway it was thailand vs indonesia - the number 1 pair... well anyway, its getting late here so i'm gonna go to sleep now...
Okay, my computer wasnt working rite, and now ive got a new cpu and motherboard, and now my computer works!! Im so happy!! Actually, i got the parts on thursday, and my brother and father put it together, and so i was able to use my computer yesterday! but since i had to load stuff from my back-up discs onto the computer, and also install programs, and then later got caught up in saving jrock scans.. i didnt exactly have the time to update my blog... Ohwell..
Today, I went to watch "Copying Beethoven" with my parents.. It was screened at the rialto, my first time watching a movie there.They're so fancy!! They have such comfy seats... but yea thats not the reason why i went there... Anyway, it was a good movie, i liked it!!
RUKA cosplaying Mello
I found these scans of RUKA (Nightmare) cosplaying as Mello (DeathNote) its really.. quite interesting!! When I saw them, i was like omg.. o.O?! Well, there were 3 pics, the third one really did look like mello, not so much the other two... anyway, here:
Death Note's Licensing
A few days ago, news came out that death note was getting licensed.. wen i heard that i was like.. NOOOOOooooooo~~ this means that i wont be able to watch it!! I hope i'll still be able to tho... just like how naruto and bleach are licensed yet still being subbed.. COME ON!! Keep those subs coming!! lol.. i shouldnt get too caught up in this.. its just anime....
YOSHIKI and Gackt and SUGIZO band..
Well, its past New Years and still have not gotten any update news about the bands status.. yet! I am still waiting, and will continue to keep waiting... Well, they did mention in the article that i read that they'd announce the band name and the remaining 2 members.. *getting anxious ><* Well.. there has been rumours in the jrock communities, about the 2nd guitarist being MIyavi. Now, from what i have heard it would not surprise me if he was. I did just a little bit of extra reading to fill in some of the blanks (in my head).... It seems that, Miyavi had recently just come back from a 4month stay in LA, and has announced on his video message (which has been translated by people.. and can be viewed on his site and youtube also) that he found an amazing guy and that he would like to try screaming in the background again.. (be in a band again, playing guitar, as well as continue his solo work). What makes this news very suspicious, is firstly, the fact that YOSHIKI LIVES in Las Angeles. Secondly, YOSHIKI IS an amazing guy. Thirdly, YOSHIKI is forming a new BAND. Fourthly, this band that YOSHIKI is forming, is currently needing another GUITARIST. And also!!! More info about this band is said to be revealed around New Years, (the band name, and the line-up), Miyavi mentioned that he cannot say who the other band members are... That is, what i think, super suspicious... Anyway, whoever the remaining members are, i sooo cannot wait!! this band will be debuting in america.. they're gonna be big, huge!! already are 3 legendary vk/jrock super stars...they're gonna be the ultimate jrock band!!
D - a good band to listen to if you havent yet already
Well, i listened to D for the first time, because from what i have seen of them in jrock scans, and what i have read about them from other peoples blog entries or comments, etc... they seem like a really good band. Well, i watched 2 pvs on youtube, and i have to say, yes they are good!! asagi (the vocalist) has a really good, deep, strong voice!! (thats always good to know, in my case) I only found out a while ago, that the "ASAGI" that was in the little magazine that i got with my nightmare dvd, is this ASAGI that im talking about. Aparently he has a solo project... i was just a little shocked at first, because wen i saw it, im like.. is asagi a band? they're not japanese *pointing at everyone except for the guy in the middle.. which now that i think back, is asagi...* gah.. im so stupid.. ohwell, atleast i know now! Anyway, ive kept on playing "Taiyou wo Okuru Hi " on youtube, over and over again.. i just love that song!! My favourite part is the guitar solo, i think its Ruiza that plays it? (not too sure.. but Ruiza is hot!!! and maybe hide-zou too?) Its a really nice nice nice guitar solo!! Here is the video:
It is a really nice PV, and an AWESOME song. I recommend this to anyone looking for new jrock music to add to their collection~ Well speaking of music collection, i need to update mine, i lost all my nightmare stuff except for 2 songs (the world and alumina) wen i got my new cpu and motherboard, because the hard drive wudnt work.. and so had to reformat the hard drive.. therefore lost everything i had downloaded within the last 2 weeks that i had the computer working (before it stopped working completely)..
Anyway, this has been a pretty long journal entry.. Its time to go, ja~
