i thought the word "weird" is applied only to me

[perfectlyimperfect]

/sarcasm

Well, it's Friday, right? If you would look at the time of this entry -- it's approximately one in the afternoon. We all know I can't access LiveJournal at work, so what the hell am I doing here?

Surprise, guys: I'm having a self-quarantine at home. You see, last Wednesday afternoon, a female foreign exchange student at my university was confirmed of the infamous A(H1N1) influenza virus. (She was rumored to be Japanese, jsyk.) I clearly thought -- and I wasn't the only one in my class -- that the sudden suspension of classes in my university wouldn't affect our on-the-job trainings at our respective workplaces, since technically we don't go to school regularly recently.

What do you know? The next day, my blockmate and I were busy at our workstation, when a higher "boss" (I-I don't know exactly how to call him) asked, "Who's from La Salle here?"

And then it started. I knew the day would be weird -- the campus grounds were suddenly and unusually silent after all -- but not in this way. He then told us that he would be talking to the HR Recruitment to consider letting us have the so-called quarantine too.

It's understandable in a way -- most of us were in school last Friday -- but I felt it was kind of discriminating that they suspended ALL student trainees, those from our school. Besides, we all had work to do (or at least finish), and it's very unprofessional just to leave them all behind.

I happened to think that the ones who would be suspended were my classmates and I (there were other students that have different degrees from us) since we were there only last week. When the HR Recruitment Head said, "Where are the other students from La Salle?" And we were like, "So ALL of us?"

And they told us that it had been already decided. We were to go home at 12 noon that day, no questions asked. Even if our bosses tried to bargain that we'd extend for the day, it's non-negotiable, they said. None of us had any choice, simply put.

It was kind of amusing that we all had this, "What now?" faces, especially that it was really, really sudden. It's actually an "unexpected vacation" (as I'd like to call it) for everyone. We're supposed to go back to work -- cleared by the company clinic -- on June 15. So, yeah.

Basically we all decided to have a "bon voyage" kind of lunch at the nearest mall afterwards, lol. We called ourselves the "quarantined" peeps. XD

For me, it turned out in my favor though, especially that day. He and I (*coughclickcough*), together with 3 other guys hanged out for a while, and they all played video games at the mall. I totally looked like a mom watching over those little boys, rofl. And well, it was fun, to say the least. :)

Enough of that, I was supposed to do this first!

Photography meme!

Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life that you're interested in or curious about. It can be anything from my favourite shirt to my cell phone. Leave your requests as a comment to this entry, and I'll snap the pictures and post them as soon as I can.


As requested by micodeavi ♥:
take a photo of..your room, your comp, your dad watching Iwo Jima(lol completely optional), and...a random tree outside your house. 8D

(Random: That yellow star pillow was given to me by Jenny on my 18th birthday, she's said this is to remind me of Nino when I sleep. LOL.

My room is actually shared with my older sister. (Hence the clutter. XD) Here are the different angles of the same room. You'll notice it's not even big, lol.


My computer, my laptop, my baby, Hiro. :D When I'm at home, that's the fold-able table I use.


Here he is when I'm in Manila. It's my school desk--hence again, the clutter, lol.


This is where my dad and I usually watch my Arashi DVDs, and here is where we watched Iwo Jima. I didn't know how to convince my dad to watch it again for this purpose so I just took a picture of the room. LOL.


Find the exceptional Blu-rayyyyy~


A random tree outside my house. XD It's a rambutan tree.

As requested by hakka_candy ♥:
My requests: under your bed! your snack pantry (if you have one)! Arashi goods!

Under my bed! You'll see my fake crocs that I use at home, and a plastic case of my writing stuff. Yes, that's how much I love writing. XD


Our snack pantry at home. It's actually a mix of things, condiments, other raw stuff, not only snacks. :)


Where I hang my Arashi calendar. :D


Where I keep my Arashi stuff when I'm not flailing about them. ROFL.


This is how they look like when I'm flailing about them. XD (I do not have AAA + in Dome and AAA 2008 in Kokuritsu DVDs at home, because I watch them after work with Jenny back in Manila. Heh.)


MY NEW ARASHI STUFF BOUGHT BY MY DAD IN HONG KONG~~~ *flails majorly* That's actually my first magazine, and I GOT CRAZY MOON YES. (Seriously addicted to the song and the PV *o*) He accidentally bought two Believe singles actually, thinking that the one with Ohno on the cover was different. orz


And. A bunch of other random stuff. 8D


My new Ohmiya toothbrush. 8DDD


If you noticed that my hairstyle is the same as Jun's, you win a car! ROFL.

If you still want to request anything, go ahead! I'm in a very good mood lately. :D ♥

Slowly but sure (or maybe it's just me who's overly paranoid), the fear of another flu pandemic is eating me--it's not my fault, there was an annoying commotion happened in my society, the last time we dealt with Avian flu. And now we're up to another flu saga.. *shrugs*

And! I actually read your prev post (when I finally managed to buy some time to mess with LJ when I was supposed to study xDD), but honestly I could not say anything cause it's about a certain guy and I honestly have no idea how to deal with such relationship xD So I hope things turn good between both of you :)

About photo meme, it's funny, because my new PC desk looks somehow similar with yours xDD A big heart mark for your shiny fandom stuffs--you have AAA 2006 photobook! I see 24hr TV T-shirt, you ordered it? Cause it's cute? :)

And!! You have the privilege to hung your calendar! *grumbles* xDD

[perfectlyimperfect]

Oh dear, I didn't even think it would hit OUR school. And I'm still not worried (despite my constant coughing now) for some reason. Maybe I'm just too carefree that way, lol. But! *hugs Cin* I hope it doesn't hit your area anymore. ^__^

Thanks! ♥ I understand why: it's a bit specific -- my situation with him -- and I still couldn't figure it out for now, but he's been constantly nice. So I'll give him that. :) And thank you, because you still read it even though it's supposed to be not a big problem at all XD ♥♥♥

AAA 2006 is the best. I love all the photos in there. *___* And lol, the 24hr TV shirt, my dad convinced me to get that one -- it's a promo of YesAsia together with a photobook. XD And I chose blue because Nino wore that on the presscon and I love blue.

And!! You have the privilege to hung your calendar! *grumbles* xDD
I can't flip it over though. It'll stay that way until next year. XDDD

[maiisaki.livejournal.com]

So did I! xD LOL funny that you can still be that calm, if it were me (and if it happened in the place near I live), I'd freak out XD *hugs Jess*

Either that way, or it's actually me--I am unable to say anything appropriate regarding that matter :D Still, good thing to hear that he's been constantly nice towards you--who knows? If you write more about him (later in the future 8D), I'll make sure I stalk it :D

Trueee <3 Ooh I remember, there was a promo like that. Without the last 4 words, I've already got what you mean, very much biased 8DD

Ooh! I think you can always have it flipped open all the time :D Wet Nino is waiting, btw :D

[perfectlyimperfect]

Of all schools in the country. LOL. Well, I'm in the province now, miles away from my university, so. I think that's why I'm not too worried. :Db

AND. That short entry above -- about going to the arcade with him and his friends -- isn't everything that happened, so. I'm thinking whether I should write about that or not. I-I might sound like a schoolgirl, l-lol.

Without the last 4 words, I've already got what you mean, very much biased 8DD
Oh you. ♥ I'm glad you easily understood that part. XD

I flipped it to wet!Nino this morning, orz *has no shame*. ROFL.

[kitsie-chan.livejournal.com]

Bahaha! How I wish for a self quarentine so I won't have to take my compulsory h istory classes at college. T-T

Uwaaa. Your room's sorta neat! xDDDD I see the TV is hung at the corner of your room. xD My mom would die before she let me have one of those. xD And omg you have so much blu-ray CD's. xD

You have soooooo much Arashi stuff. I only have a meager ONE Dvd of AAA 2008 in Kokuritsu. T-T Blasted Malaysia for not selling a single Arashi merchandise.

Ooh! Can I tag? Take picture of kitchen, and... backyard? xD And pets, if any.

[perfectlyimperfect]

LOL. That will have some downside too, you know. :>

It's neat because our household helper cleaned it before I took the picture. But trust me it's not that way now. XDD And my parents are pretty lenient when it comes to leisure time, I never knew why. LOL. All those Blu-rays are my dad's. :D

Well, we don't have a single Arashi merchandise in here, I ordered most of those online. H-Heh.

Sure! I'll try and do those on my next post. ^^

[micodeavi.livejournal.com]

omg the flu. I really hope you won't catch it though DD:
and btw, when I was reading about that you'll go hang out with boys to an arcade, it feels like you're gonna hang out with Nino, to an arcade. kkkkk ;D

your room's so neat! And clean! and lol, I can imagine your dad watching Iwo Jima now. xD
cool! I didn't know there were rambutans in the Philippines! 8O
I envy you for having arashi's latest singles DDD: I want Crazy Moon/ANK like naaao 8___8
baah, just a little bit longer and it'll look exactly like Jun's!! 8O

[perfectlyimperfect]

So far I've only had a cough, but it's due to a sudden change of weather over here. Thanks! I'll try to take care of myself more. ♥

and btw, when I was reading about that you'll go hang out with boys to an arcade, it feels like you're gonna hang out with Nino, to an arcade. kkkkk ;D
I only realized that connection a day after. 8DDD (And my friend told me that Nino would get jealous with all those boys, rofl.)

Apparently, rambutans are common in tropical countries. I was surprised that you had that in Indonesia too! LOL.

It's just by chance -- the Arashi singles. If my parents didn't go to Hong Kong I wouldn't have those either.

LOL, it's funny how Jun's hair is even longer than mine. 8DDD

[hakka-candy.livejournal.com]

That is kind of really cool - not the virus scare, but the small vacation. :D Make sure you enjoy it!

Yay you took them! :D I love the feel of your room. Like, it seems like it would be cool in the evening with the wooden tiled floors. And I like the sunlight through the windows. &hearts How do you keep it so tidy?! *envies* The Nino star~ *__*

Still envious of your Blu-ray Saigo!

Omg, you have a rambutan tree. *o* I've only eaten those in the two times I've visited Vietnam, but I love 'em. (Actually do they import them here? I don't even know but I'm sure they're not as fresh. Probably only in Cali. D:)

Ah~, I was hoping to uncover some hidden secrets underneath your bed but it's unexpectedly clean. Shucks. XDD Snack pantry! Or more like, condiment pantry! Because that is a whole lot of condiments. Does your family use them all? :O Oooh, Spam~

*flailing over your goods* I regret not getting a 24HTV shirt! Ah, maybe because it was pricey. And I seriously wish there was a way to view the different wall calendar pages without having to rip them out or fold them over. Why do they make it so complicated for fangirls! D: And your dad really loves you. &hearts

Nothing better than Ohmiya caressing your teeth and rubbing against each other to fight germs. :Db

Ah, cute! And that hairstyle was cute on Jun too. XDD I'd like a Pajero with Sho and Nino please. LOL.
How did this comment get so long?

[perfectlyimperfect]

*does Nino!salute* I'll utilize all my free time for Arashi flailing, lol. (And it's better to get rid of the thought of him for a while. orz)

It's only tidy because our household helper just cleaned it! XD If I took a photo of it now it'll look like a huge mess. ROFL. Nino!star pillow is just as adorable. :3

I-I'm not sure about being imported in the States. I hadn't noticed them when I went there, but check out the Asian stores? Especially Filipino specialty stores. Maybe they have those. :D

About under my bed, HAH! XDD
Does your family use them all?
Nope. 8D I bet all the other ones are already 10 years old. ROFL. A-And I-I suddenly crave for Spam. *o*

I was not supposed to get that shirt, but yes. I blame my dad's ability to convince me without hesitation. |D The calendar, I know right? I had a problem of how I should hang it, and it ended up just like that. I can always flip it to stripper!Sho or wet!Nino though. >DDD

Nothing better than Ohmiya caressing your teeth and rubbing against each other to fight germs. :Db
weeping t-that's the perfect way to be a toothbrush, and it still sounds as ghei as the Ohmiya orz.

Ooh, I want a Pajero too, if that's the case. XD
But ah~ I love long comments! :D ♥♥♥

[hakka-candy.livejournal.com]

Ah~, zurui na~ ;p My room is quite clean now but my computer desk is.. well, it's amazing how I find things. LOL.

Hmm, I've never seen them at the Asian stores. Is it the season? Is it always the season? XD *clueless* In our yards, we don't have any trees that grow edible food. Well, I guess juniper berries, but we don't eat them. XD

I love Spam with rice; it's weird, I know. LOL. I'm suddenly craving some, too. If you decide to eat some, better check the expiration date on that can! Haha.

Ah~, I seriously want my own Ohmiya toothbrush now. |D

&hearts&hearts&hearts I always find so many things to talk about on your entries. XD

[perfectlyimperfect]

LOL. Sometimes my desk can be described as like that too. Amazingly. XD

I really have no idea, just suggesting if you can find it. XD;; It's not yet the season, I believe. Ours are not bearing fruit yet... that I'm aware of, at least. We have another age-old jackfruit tree in our backyard. That rambutan tree is on our front yard, if you notice the gates. :D

Haha! Maybe I'll eat it for breakfast tomorrow. And LOL, you people. I always eat it with rice, it's not even asked around the house anymore. XDD

♥ True that. XD

[fallske.livejournal.com]

WHOA. That's a lot of Arashi-stuff there :DD I don't know how much longer it will be before I surrender my credit card to cdjapan or some other online shop xDD My goal is to buy stuff only when I'm visiting Tokyo. Don't ask why, I just feel like doing that |:

And your room looks well-kept -- or at least, tidier than mine :PP

[perfectlyimperfect]

I don't know how much longer it will be before I surrender my credit card to cdjapan or some other online shop xDD
Haha, same here. XD My dad even told me, "If you have so many Arashi stuff, you're practically giving your allowance to their manager!" (Which is so true, dad. orz)

:PP That's because it's just been cleaned. Wait and see how it looks now. XDD

[twistedhalo04.livejournal.com]

It's hard I know but breathe. The boy troubles will sort themselves out eventually. :) Not that I'm any authority to speak on the matter. haha

Love your dad for getting you two versions of Believe :DDD

[perfectlyimperfect]

Haha, emotions just get the best of me sometimes I guess. :P But thanks! ♥

I know right, and he was even like: I got you two more singles! :DDD
LOL. ♥

[twistedhalo04.livejournal.com]

It happens to the best of us. :)

Hahaha Give him A for effort.
