The Power of the Storm

On the My Girl website, find 5 ladybugs to unlock secret letters from Masamune-kun to Youko-san in heaven.

PM me for the location of the ladybugs if you're too lazy to look for them yourself.

Special return of bus chronicles--oh wait, they were never serialised. XD

"Now say thank you to the nice lady"

I had a long night last night.

It started off with just dinner with a friend, to clear out my fridge before my leaving college for the holidays. Then another friend joined us for a beer. And got high. And dragged me out clubbing. Then she drank too much and threw up. By the time I dropped her off, got home, cleaned up, and showered, it was 4:30am. I had to get to the station at 8:30am, for the bus at 9.

I know I had a long night.

So it's only understandable that I didn't look my best.

Friday buses are always quite full, so I wasn't expecting to have 2 seats to myself. But since I got on rather early, I had my pick—a window seat because I wanted to sleep. The other window seat on my row was taken, leaving the two aisle seats empty. A mother and daughter pair comes along, disappointed that they couldn't sit next to each other. So naturally, I offer to swap seats. Only to hear the young mother tell her daughter:

"Oh, isn't that wonderful? Now say thank you to the nice lady!"

N-n-n-nice lady?!

I am NOT that old!

I know my hairstyle's all weird and stuff coz it's so overgrown. And the fact that I had nautical stripes with a grey cardigan didn't help. But seriously, "nice lady"? "Lady"? LADY?!

That's like, something you'd say to a middle-aged woman. Not someone who is in university. And in her early twenties.

Mukatsuku!

Now I feel old. And grumpy.

There needs to be an oneesan equivalent word in English. Coz I don't want to be called a "nice lady" by mothers again anytime soon. Not anytime in the next 15 years, at least.

Argh!

"Nice lady"… ><"

成立１０周年、おめでとうございます！

Thank you for the happiness that your work has brought to so many of us. ありがとう。

これからも、ありがとう。

本当に、嵐に出会えてよかった。幸せです。

You've created a storm in the world. I hope that in the years to come, the storm will only get bigger and bigger, and you will all rise higher and higher on the ever-increasing waves of success.

Congratulations, Arashi. And may there be many, many more decades of happiness to come. =]

お誕生日おめでとうございます。

Birthdays are always a great reason to go search for cake. Nino's was a month late, a tart and sharp upside down lemon meringue pie that was as amazingly good as the boy himself. This time, I got a more classic chocolate fondant from the same patisserie.

P1020065

It was rich, smooth, decadent and irresistable. Just like our Matsujun.

Yeah, it's not much of a looker, that cake. But MJ's handsome enough for both the cake and himself. XD

Happy Birthday, Matsujun.

A few words of thanks and other things.

A declaration

It just so happens that today marks the 13th anniversary of Aiba being part of Johnnys Jimusho! Cheers, boy, keep being yourself and we'll love you for another 13 years. XD

Chapter 20 ~Finale~

I'm gonna play it safe and say this is an NC-17 chapter. Explicit scene and sexual content ahead. Don't read if you are not legally or otherwise permitted. Proceed at your own risk. You have been warned. 

OMG I can't believe we're finally at the end!

did they? didn't they?

is under the cut.

Only 3 more after this. And I've completely given up on comments, via email or LJ or vox. *sigh*

I could've ended it all in this chapter, but for some stupid reason I didn't...

ありがとう。

これからも、ありがとう。

本当に感謝しています。

And so, they meet again...
