Keita... LOL

Watch the video below. Keita is so amusing xD

Is it just a coincidence?

One of my hobbies is blog walking. Nowadays I don't do that as much as two-three years back, since I have a lot more things that need to be done now. Recently though, I've been checking some of my favorite stars' blogs. I enjoyed doing that because I get to know them more, and for some reason by reading their blogs, I could feel that they are just ordinary human beings like us as well. I mentioned this before: I check on Keita's and Ryuichi's blogs almost everyday. Other than that, I also like to read Ryohei and Wu Chun's blog. The last one is the easiest to understand since Wu Chun's blog is written in English (there is the Chinese translation as well).

Around two weeks ago, I found out that MONORAL also has a blog! Considering their root of origin (and also their songs), I'm pretty sure they can write or speak in English fluently. However, their posts were 98% written in Japanese without any English translation at all. All I can do is just using Babelfish online translator, but the translation is just not clear at all. So then around a week ago, I posted a comment on their blog (it was on Ali's post) wishing that there would be an English translation.

And then guess what? Around five or six days later, Anis posted something on his blog. It's not entirely in English but he wrote at least a full paragraph in English! OMG!!! I can't really say that it's because of my comment or something. I believe there are some other fans who requested this as well. I'm so glad though, that means they listen to us. \(^o^)/

But then again, it's only a few days after I posted my comments. And looking at all comments on Ali's post that day (I didn't look at any other posts though), I think mine is the only one that requested an English translation. So, is it really just a coincidence?

Fictitious Realm

Dream and reality
Separated only by a thin line
Which one is the dream
And which one is the reality
I don't even know anymore

That smile
Is it real?
That happiness
Is it just a dream?

And when I thought I have reached the truth
You vanished
I think it's just a mere vision

We laughed
That's not true
You and I together
That's not real

A moment of bliss
It doesn't exist

Take care of your health...

I haven't fully recovered from the flu + cough. It's been a week and I've been taking flu medicine, cough syrup, and even antibiotics. But when the flu is gone, the cough comes back. Then when the cough is gone, the flu comes back. It keeps going back and forth, which is so annoying.

Come to think of it, I'm not the only one who has health problems like these. My professors at school also got sick and they had to teach when they lost their voice. I felt bad for them. I don't even feel like talking at all when I lost my voice almost completely sometime ago.

Lots of my classmates and co-workers are also sick. Either fever, sore throat, cold, flu, or cough. I even heard that there was this one high school, only three students showed up (out of 30 students in a class). The rest of the students stayed at home because of getting sick.

My mom back home in Indonesia also told me that a lot of people over there got sick too recently. Man... this is bad.

Friends, please take a good care of yourself, ok? If you are already sick, hope you'll get better soon. I'm also hoping that I'll recover as soon as possible. Getting sick is so annoying. It prevents me from doing a lot of things that need to be done. x|

illusion

One by one, all the problems went away
With you there by my side, I'm not afraid
You held my hands tight, smiled and said,
"Don't give up. I'm here with you..."
With words as simple as those, I could feel your support

When I couldn't continue anymore, you came to the rescue
When my tears ran down on my cheeks, you lent me your shoulders
And when the success came, you said "Great job!"

Being shown your silly acts, I would laugh
Being treated with your kindness, I would feel grateful
Being stared at so deeply, and being told "I love you",
I would blush...
As if I was going to melt down...

But then I was thrown back from the land of the dreams
You, you're not here with me
No matter how much I wish, I know the infinite impossibilities
Having to face the reality, it hurts so much... so deeply...
Please, don't pull me to the painful surface

Oh, how I wish I could stay there forever...

Sick

After quite a long time successfully living this kind of life, my physical and mental capabilities finally broke down. Waking up around 7 am, leaving apartment at 7:30, working + school + club activities + job hunting + etc. non-stop without any break and finally going back home at 6 in the evening, continue with studying + other club activities + future planning and finally going to bed at 2 am. That's my lifestyle up until now. It was going so well but yesterday night I got sick. Pretty bad, to the point that I couldn't do things that I usually like to do. And today I just feel like resting at home without doing anything.

I hope tomorrow I can go back to the usual schedule because there are still so many things that need to be done!!!

Let's work hard, everyone!!! \(^o^)/

health and stamina

Today I had a job interview from 7:30 am to 4 pm. The interview itself started around 10 am to 3:45 pm, the rest were tour, presentation, and breaks. By the end of the day, I was so exhausted and I lost my voice -__-;;

It amazes me how singers (like HYDE and Keita!) can sing non-stop for 3-4 hours almost everyday for practices and concerts. To be able to stay fit without losing their voice, they must have taken care of their health very seriously. And to have such a strong stamina, they must have worked out consistently. They are just amazing ^^
