The New Year is almost here. I don't know why it is such a maudlin time of year for me (and sadly for people on my FL too). I guess it's because its the most significant marker of time in the calendar year. I will remember 2009 as a year of fear and uncertainty; of waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under me at any time because I did not have the strength or confidence to do anything about it if it had happened. I will also remember that the very best things from 2009 all came from the fact that I am a Buck-Tick fan! It's absolutely true. My celebrations were all spent in the company of fellow BiTches and friends of BiTches. My adventure to New York? If I had not been a Buck-Tick fan I would have not known all of my wonderful traveling companions, had an interest in even seeing a band called Vamps, have chosen that gothy hotel, or had even known the existence of the warm and wonderful jenbowie and ff120, whom I got the chance to meet. I would not have spent a whirlwind week with speedygz or enjoyed a delightful and enlightening overdue union with _maldorora and sakurakurakura ; ) I would always enjoy the same bond with my best friend brainwhisper, however being B-T fans just increased the joy. And then there's lj. I love that I have this little oasis where I can meet, commiserate, celebrate, and share with people from all parts of the world and know that we are a lot alike. That's such a great comfort and I never cease to marvel at how warm, smart, courageous and wonderful everyone is. On this day in Buck-Tick history in 1989, Buck-Tick played before 50,000 fans in a sold-out performance at Tokyo Dome. In the great, big B-T book of days, there are few as outstanding as this one. After a long absence they wondered if anyone still remembered them and would even show up for this performance. The fans beat all their expectations and showed up in droves, selling out Japan's largest venue. Buck-Tick would reward their devotion with a new single and album, "Aku no Hana," in the new year. How big is the dome? Well I grew up in a town of 30,000 and even if we all got seats there'd still be 40% empty! Look at this:
In a municipality the size of Tokyo, the Dome still dwarfs everything around it! What an amazing, and humbling experience that night must have been. ( A happy new year to you all! May your hopes and wishes and hearts be as big as the dome. )Tags: buck-tick, tokyo dome

Странная особенность. Мне нравится читать буклеты к играм. До PS3 юзал Dendy, Sega, PSone и PC - и у них не было мануалов, так как почти все были пиратки. Сегодня пришла Resistance 2 - после CODMW2 и Killzone 2 вообще не алле. Прошел Uncharted 1 - офигительная тема. Запоем посмотрел видео о создании игры. Выжидаю время, чтобы засесть за вторую.  Прошел и Heavenly Sword. Когда играешь, вроде интересно. А когда закончил, переигрывать совсем не хочется. Финальный босс длинный, бесил. А летающий урод с лезвиями был сложнее. Концовка мутная. Главная героиня секси, но голос не понравился. В GTA IV поразило наличие русской радиостанции (с говномузыкой, но все же) и русская речь от прохожих. Найсы. К управлению авто было непросто привыкнуть. Поиграл в демку GT5 Academy - ну и унылость. Брать игру передумал. Прошел демку Dante's Inferno - впечатлила очень. После GOW 1 и 2 вообще шик. Не знаю, каким будет GOW 3, но Данте точно куплю. Tags: sony, игры

Ex-best friend suddenly msged me on MSN haha. Rather awkward. Actually, I was just thinking about how we haven't spoken to each other since forever (it has probably been half a year to a year). The weird thing is that this time I didn't really feel any ulterior motive for talking to me. Usually it makes me feel awkward when she speaks to me because I know she just does so to know about how I'm doing in school. I think a part of her wanted to reassure herself by knowing I did worse than her in university or whatever. This time she started the convo off with a subject that we talked about when we were younger. Back then there were a lot of things we shared with each other that we didn't share with others. One of those things were about her frustration with a certain girl she knows since childhood. She probably spoke about her to her friends - probably? - but I practically knew that girl about as much as she did since she shared everything about that girl and her family with me haha. Felt weird when she mentioned that girl and was like "I mentioned to you about her back then. Not sure if you still remember her.." and I responded back showing that I full well knew who she was talking about. Later on when we were talking about what she eats at her dorm she suddenly brought back an old memory, that I didn't know, that kind of brought a smile to my face. When she slept over back then I would sometimes cook her breakfast. It was just a simple one. Sunny-side up eggs (or scrambled depending on our mood) with fried Vietnamese ham. She said she remembered how easy it was for me and she would go home and try it herself and it would end up in failure (she burnt the eggs and the fire alarm came on LOL). It brought weird emotions when she mentioned old memories. It just keeps reminding me how much history we have with each other.. sounds like a couple haha. But I mean, I knew her since grade 6! There's a lot of things we know about each other that no one else knows. There will always be subjects between us that we can pull up easily and still feel comfortable discussing only between us. Sometimes I'm weary of making new friends. Every time I become close with someone I leave a little of me with them. My memories, my time, my secrets, etc. It feels weird to know someone out that that I've grown apart from still knows some secrets about me. Secrets they might not think is important, but means something big to me.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
My family name isn't common. Sometimes I like that, sometimes it makes me feel very alone. I want to know about my family. I want to know the history. I get so curious about a side of the family my grandparents had to leave. What ever happened to them after the war? Do they resent us? Something I like about my uncle is when I'm with him, somehow our actions sparks up a memory of his and i get to listen to my family history... Although I didn't get a chance to the last time he came cuz he brought his children with him haha. It really bothers me how I never got to know my paternal grandma. My mom never had a chance to meet her either. Sometimes I feel like my late grandma's missing presence made a giant gaping hole in that side of the family. I wonder if the other people with my family name ever wonders the same thing - what ever happened to us? I wonder if one day when I'm old if my grandchildren will also wonder about our family history and what I could tell them. I have an urge to listen to as many stories about my ancestors as I can and write them all down. It's too bad that I never get to hear about it haha. Only my uncle willingly tells me everything. Sometimes I feel like it's a taboo to ask. Whether it's because because there are people they don't like and don't want to talk about or because talking about the past hurts them too much.. I don't feel like I have the right to ask this of them. I know talking about my paternal grandmother is like a double-edged sword. My grandpa loves talking about her but even now his heart aches for her. She died of cancer and every single time, he blames himself for it. It doesn't make sense, but he does and it makes me afraid to talk about her. Whatever I hear though I treasure it in my heart and can recite it all back out. Feels weird sometimes knowing that I should've had a really big family but because of circumstances, I don't. Maternal grandpa had like I think at least 5 other siblings if not 6 or 7 (blood and half included). Last night had a sudden urge to make family tree. Kind of interesting to see it. Hard to complete even if I was just starting with grandparents because I'm pretty much first-generation (first generation born in Canada).. quite literally since I'm the first grandchild, period.. so no one in my family really has English names hahaha. Only my family and uncle (dad's bro)'s family are in Canada so no one else has a need for an English name. Gawd, it's quite sad to say, but I'm not even really familiar with everyone's Chinese/Vietnamese names. So embarrassing when I asked dad what my late grandma's name is o_o haha. In Chinese we call everyone "auntie" or "uncle", etc. so I never had a need to learn it. Even between my parents, only my mom has an English name registered. Bah, enough of me rambling on about my mind's mumbo jumbo. I probably won't be typing up another entry any closer to new years so I'll just say now that I hope everyone had a great 2009 and enjoy New Year : ) To another year~ ♥♥. (2009 sure was a hectic year..)- jiawen Current Mood:  uncomfortable

What a Christmas! Had these, that's the mini buches I spoke about. very yummy!   So I had two days off, both woken up past noon, (figured >_>). 25th, well, all stores are closed, except the convini downstairs, so I just lazed all day watching DEXTER and Karei Naru Spy. I didn't know Masuda appeared in episode 4! And Nagase...I forgot how I love him as an actor. Then today, the 26th, I had an appointment with coolnat466 but like I figured, woke up past noon, since I went to bed at 3:30am... I joined her a 4pm at Japantown, she had eaten beforehand, and bought some DAIGO & Gackt magazines with her friend, then we went to the supermarket, where I again bought many japanese delicacies, onigiri and so on, then we went to StarBucks to warm our feet and drink some super hot coffee and moka and caramal and...well you know, Starbucks. Talked about Johnnys, obviously, and had to part ways after. I went back to the store to buy more stuff, frozen ones, cute dango/mochis (not sure) because these are best bought before going home right?   Yummy I must say. I don't know what's coming for New year, apart from working, and I hope 2010 will bring me some real happiness and joy. Oh and gifts other than myself offering me presents! I didn't get anything for X-Mas, but that was obvious, since I didn't spend it with anyone besides Moko. I'm bored to hell on day off, it's weird since I have so many things to do I can only do during these special time but I do nothing in the end. Like read gaillen's latest fanfiction dump, along with ryoda_love recent highlights, and Music Station Super Live...and the coming Countdown. I hope I'll watch this right after it's leaked. I hope I can catch up in 2010....watch concers and tv shows...I'll make a list for my New Year resolutions post. Have nothing more to say, I'm super bored and super borING too these days. Damn I forgot I work tomorrow! So long peeps I need to  Tags: friends, moko, oishii
