When you're comfortable

When you're comfortable, you'll do nothing.

If it's a comfortable place, you wouldn't want to leave
If it's a comfortable someone, you wouldn't want to let him go
If it's a comfortable atmosphere, you wish the time would stop
If it's a comfortable post, you wouldn't even want a promotion

If it’s a comfortable grade, you wouldn’t likely to put more effort to study

If it’s a comfortable impression, you wouldn’t want to change yourself

You’ll do nothing when you’re comfortable

But you’ll do nothing when you’re uncomfortable too.

You stick to the same person who made you cry

You won’t ask even when you fail to read the map

You don’t wanna change despite getting adviced

You aren’t intend to apologize even when you’re at fault

You insist to wear high heels knowing it’s bad for your back

You don’t want to leave the pseudocomfortable zone even when you failed the subjects

You won’t walk out and act casually instead even when you entered the wrong venue

That’s blind

That’s arrogant

That’s full of yourself

That’s ego

That’s stubborn

That’s cognition unconsciousness

That’s simply don’t know what to do

As idiophatic as it sounds, for a certain circumstance there’s always time when you simply don’t know what to do. Like you’ve missed a turn on the highway and there’s no u-turn sign. Like you’ve strayed too far that it’s impossible to turn back.

But hey, there’s always a chance to kick that lack-willed ass off and turn a new leave over. Just like there’s always exit in every highway.

Gotta be more optimistic

He was taken into custody

At last, he was taken into custody

This might not be so much of a breaking news as it was posted on twitter since a month ago.

Johnny’s Entertainment announced that NEWS members Yamashita Tomohisa and Nishikido Ryo have both left the group. Yamapi will be focusing on his solo career, while Ryo will focus his activities with Kanjani8. NEWS will continue as a 4-member group; Koyama, Shige, Massu, Tegoshi.

The battle of ‘custody’ over Ryo between Kanjani8 and NEWS, at last ended up with Kanjani8 as the winner.

Ryo has once mentioned in an interview, it’s hard for him to be active in both groups; Kanjani8 and NEWS. Plus being active in acting, it sure is tiring. He discussed a lot with Johnny-san, thinking about pursuing with either one of them.

Who knows which group Ryo really preferred (of course for the fans sake, he won’t make this public) but well… I’m glad he’s now in Kanjani8. I personally think he suits there; taking into account his personality and all. Plus everyone in Kanjani8 is from Osaka, so he won’t have to hold back using Kansai-ben!

On the other hand, I feel bad for NEWS; NEWS with 4 members? How would it be? Sure fan will mourn over this. How would they sing their old songs in concerts after this? Maybe ad-lib or recorded version. Now listening to NEWS songs gave me some extra emotional sentiment.

Somehow being Johnny-san, of coure he needs to properly consider both groups (Kanjani8 and NEWS) emotion on this, as well as Ryo’s personally. But most importantly for this CEO, is the marketing value. We all know the selling point of Kanjani8 is mostly because of Ryo, this is probably the major reason why Ryo gets to be in Kanjani8 permanently.

Well after 9 years of running back and forth between NEWS and Kanjani8, there goes our Nishikido Ryo in Kanjani8. I don’t have much comment on Yamapi though. Looking at his pace, I knew it there’s no way other members could keep up with him. With his popularity at its peak, yappa going solo is the best way.

Ps: till this very day, I’m still searching for Nishikido Ryo’s Half Down music video. I guess they really won’t make one huh!

It has been a while

I missed him, for he hasn’t appeared before my eyes for quite a while.

He was there, in fact he was always there. But I only noticed him during Tamhidi. Someone kinda ‘introduced’ him to me. And I became head over heels in love with him ever since!

oh, anyways~

It was during Tamhidi that I broke my shell of ‘I don’t wanna watch any dramas other than English’; when a friend introduced me Hanakimi. And then was when I noticed Mizushima Hiro (the one who played Nanba senpai).

I love those eye. it's so......intense!

more intense eyes!

He’s such an awesome actor! I did follow his drama afterwards and I fell for him over again watching all his roles;

Absolute Boyfriend
Mei-chan no Shitsuji
Mr. Brain
Tokyo Dogs

I remember Tokyo Dogs was his last drama I watched and I wonder, why until last year (2010) he hasn’t came out with any new roles (Tokyo Dogs was aired in 2009). C’mon, he’s young and good looking and above all, he’s talented (it’s just impossible any producer would overlook that).

But then, early this year was when I figured out Mizushima Hiro has officially quit his acting and modeling career to pursue in writing and literature.

What?! So he has became a full time writer now. No wonder he hasn’t appeared in any dramas anymore! That’s so heart breaking (T_T) because Hiro is one of my favorite actors.

I fell for him right after watching Hanakimi, and then was told by the same friend who introduced me Hanakimi that he’s married. Gosh! He’s 25, young and talented and good looking and…. Married?! Fine! So who cares if he’s married, I still adore his acting and all. And these happened 3 years ago. Btw I started listening to Japanese songs since 2 years ago.

Approximately a year ago, by accident I just got to know that Mizushima Hiro’s wife is Ayaka! Ayaka, one of my favorite singers!

Oh dear, I’ve been adoring both Ayaka and Hiro in parallel without knowing they were married to each other! *shame*

So I went to Google more about them.

These 2 were married in 2009 (after 6 months seeing each other); Mizushima Hiro (24) and Ayaka (21) announced their marriage during a press conference. Fans were shocked with the sudden news and they explained why the decision was so prompt.

Ayaka was diagnosed with Grave’s disease and her condition gradually worsens. Aware of this, Hiro decided to propose to Ayaka so that he can take care of her. He recited one line

‘I will protect her’
*serious macam drama*

Oh my, being that young with a mature decision; that’s my Hiro *whoops, he’s married*
Hiro also claimed, Ayaka is the first woman who made him believe marriage as the extension of courtship, (and shyly Ayaka confessed the same)

at the press conference

Ayaka on the other hand declared that she’s taking sabbatical leave after announcing their marriage, so that she can focus on the treatment and recovering. Recently it is said that she’ll come back from hiatus in 2012. Ayaka-san, I’ll look forward to it! :D

Naturally, friends

Boys and girls can’t be best friends. Sooner or later either one will fall for another
(or even both)

People said this a lot, opposite genders are meant to be matched. But well, such rule isn’t always 100% applied. Here’s how the chemistry is broken;

1. Either one fell for another (or both), but it didn’t work out. So they decided to stay friends
2. Either one is seeing other people (or both), *provided they’re loyal*
3. Either one is not another’s type, and it’s fully grasped
4. Either one is gay
5. Oh well, it happens naturally

Fujioka Haruhi and Hitachiin twins!!!

Okay, okay. Ouran high school lovers, you might wanna argue me. But let me explain.

It's true that Hikaru kinda likes Haruhi.

But it could be #1. Since Hikaru's world only revolves around Kaoru, he thought there's no way he'll approach Haruhi as more than friends.

Or it could be #2. Because Hikaru (in fact everybody else in host club) sees how Tamaki likes Haruhi, so he decided to stay friends.

Or it could be no 3#. Haruhi somehow never intended to have those rich brat as a boy friend. And it’s understandable.

But it can’t be #4! Even though the twins has some light yaoi element in between (c’mon! they’re twins! :P)

And definitely it’s #5! Because they’re classmates

More Hitachiin twins!

Ps: can’t wait for the movie version of Ouran!
