Siam Shade

Why is livejournal sending me this message saying how people received virtual gifts. Okay. That's nice. I got 3 messages so far. I didn't send it to them. I'm just waiting for this pizza man to come so I can eat. Papa Johns! Love their pizza. Yesterday I went calling around to see if I can find a laptop repair place. The A key on the keyboard broke and we need someone to fix it. Most places weren't answering the phone but this one place I called did. The guy said I would need a whole new keyboard and that I would have to buy the keyboard myself and they would install it...... okay.....for how much.... "between $70 to $100 plus payment for the labor." Okay goodbye! Found someone to replace the JUST THE KEY for 20 bucks. Stupid people always trying to rip you off.

It's been a while since I wrote. I have a project I need to be working on but I don't feel like it! I pick any topic and have to give a 2-minute presentation on it. I decided to do one on my native country, Trinidad. It's in the caribbean. I left there when I was 2 and have never been back. I have a lot of family there but I don't know any of them, except my grandma and uncle. So if I go there it would just be for vacation. It's a beautiful island. I've seen lots of pictures. I know a lot of people don't know about that place but it's a great place to vacation. The only place in the caribbean is not jamaica and the bahamas. There are so many other places there. Explore people!

I went to the movies and saw Michael Jackson's This Is It. It was really good. People should see it. He is singing so good which I think is amazing. 20 something year olds are lip singing all their songs and he was singing all his at 50! And it was rehearsal. His energy during rehearsal was great. He wasn't sluggish at all. It was supposed to be a 3D show and you can tell. I wish that Sony would have waited a little longer and made the adjustments to make it a 3D show. It would have made the movie 10 times better because you would have really seen the concert for what it was supposed to be. Oh well. It was still amazing and I almost want to see it again. But I'm way too busy and said that as soon as it comes out I would see it since I knew I would have the time. He didn't do the moonwalk during Billie Jean but I don't think he ws dancing like how he wanted to during that number because after it was done he said that he did enough for "everyone to catch a feeling." I caught the feeling. LOL. Damn. I miss him.

nataliapessoa made me some icons! I'm excited. I don't know how to make them and I always looked at everyone elses and felt jealous. But she was nice enough to offer and made me some. They are all of Gackt. The one I used now is my favorite. It's cute and funny. Gotta make sure that eyeliner's right. LOL. THANK YOU!

So I had so much online work due today. I have slept 8 hours in 42 hours. Put that on top of having a cold and you've got one stressed out chick. I had to write this paper and I know it's not citied correctly. Luckily it's only a draft and I will be able to make the changes needed but I'm still pissed. I completely forgot about it and kept putting it off whenever I did remember it. But the topic was so dumb. Economic issues with Obama's health care plan. This is still an ongoing issues. There is no concrete information about this issue. Only  speculation about the issues and debate. Internet sources are my only option and they were so scarce. I'm guessing that the teacher is probably against the health care bill and Obama as she is an older lady and most older people don't like his plan. And the fact that she only wanted to know the problems with the bill and not the good parts. She must not care that much about the good in it.

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. I didn't do anything. I had homework to do. I did go to the mall with my hubby. He was looking for some clothes that he has to wear on Saturday for a performance. I got a Nintendo DSI for my Bday with the Kingdom Hearts game (LOVE KH!). My husband also bought me an Edible Arrangement which is delicious. My sister bought me clothes and sandals. My dad gave me money and my mom bought me a shirt. My uncle got me a gift card and shoes. Me and my hubby bought Keisha 3 watches and pair of green pumps. She loved them. I also bought her the new Marc Jacobs perfume "Lola." She loves it. It cost $75! Just the bottle cost $65 but I found on zappos.com that they sold a gift set with the perfume and lotion for 75 so I bought that instead.

My sister and her bf went out to dinner t the Olive Garden. They invited us along but I had homework and refused. THANK GOD FOR HOMEWORK! He tricked my sister. He ordered squid as a starter and told her it was shrimp. After she ate it he told her what it was. She got really mad. Both me and my sister are picky eaters and no one can get us to try anything new. So he did that to get her to try something new. She got mad and he got mad that she was mad. 30 or 45 mins later she was in OG bathroom throwing up. She didn't eat any of her dinner. She still feels sick now. What a terrible way to end your 22nd birthday.

I'm getting ready to go to school. Will I learn something? Probably not. I just right the notes, daydream, and watch the clock. I barely slept. In fact I didn't sleep. So I will sleep when I get home at 10am. I'm sure we will get our test back from our teacher today. I'm anxious. I want to see an A on that paper.

UPDATE!

We saw a presentation. Time flew by. And I didn't get my test back because of it.

I'm going to the hair salon. Nothing special. It's just so thick and nappy and un-comb-able. Glad my hair is long so that it creates the illusion of looking nice. I know how it feels. Itchy, dry, and flat. But hair sheen does wonders. LOL. But I will get it done and it will look good and I will feel good and then go to sleep. LOL. Shouldn't be waking up early on a Saturday!

School work is a pain. I've been up all night. I have a test today for class. I have to be there for 8:25 and it's 5:25 and I'm still working on it! I never post but I'm so up in the clouds right now I felt like writing something. Feels good to vent out frustration. Even if it's only a little.

I saw the most disgusting thing today. So all these magazines have Michael Jackson on their covers paying tribute to him. Great. He deserves every cover in the entire world. What does OK Magazine do: put a cover of his face close up on the strecher being carried into the hospital. It is the most chilling thing I ever saw. I can't believe the disrespect. Did they actually think that was okay? And then they put on the side Tribute inside. Who cares! People, naturally, are angry and the website is currently closed down. They are probably going to remove it from news stands and issue an apology soon but I think the damage is done there. I hope people don't buy that. I'm sure they won't. After staring at it for a long time it truly becomes an image in your head that you want to forget. I pray that his kids don't ever see that.

I never really post but I wanted to today. Micheal Jackson dead? What? I feel like I knew him. That's how sad I feel. I listened to his music all the time. And that's not just "oh because he's dead you say you listen to him." No. I just listened to Dirty Diana this morning. And then I hear he died. I'm shocked. I wanted to cry. I always felt bad for him because people always talked bad about him in more recent years. Today people don't care about the music. Only the personal information. Whether it's good or bad, they don't care. And Micheal Jackson was always talked about bad. It overshadowed all his music to some point. People would say they love his music but he's weird. Does that matter? If you are a fan then you are a fan of the artist, not the life. And no one knows his life but him. I thought about this alot today because I was watching Gackt on youtube. I thought here's a man who is so passionate about his music and cares so much about his fans and also gets talked about for foolishness and called weird because of his actions or things he said. I don't think that Gackt is anything like MJ but I think a lot of the celebrities that choose not to share their personal lives get dubbed of being secretive like him and having weird and wacky lives. I just feel so bad. I want it not to be true. I was looking forward to him coming back and people saying "oh my gosh the King is back!" I was looking forward to him putting the wannabes (yea I'm talking about Chris Brown, Usher, Justin Timberlake who people say ohh they can really dance when they just copy all his moves) in their place and show everybody where they got it from. But it's not going to happen. But despite it all, I am glad that through the tragedy people are saying that he was a great performer and musician and seem to be ignoring all the other negativity. I think that's the least people can do. I loved him.

Seems like I only post when it's someone's birthday. LOL. I think I'm going to start writing more. Anyway, today is Junji's birthday!!! Happy Birthday to ya! He's such a cutie! A goofy cutie. He turns 36 years old today. And he still acts like a 6 year old. Still looks like a 20 year old. That's a good combination. LOL. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNJI!!!!

Ka Ka Ka Ka KAZUMA! LOL. He turns 37 today. 37 and still rockin! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAZUMA!

I am so pissed off at the people at Gordie Entertainment.  They just raided all Gackt videos on youtube! ALL OF THEM! Well not all of them but it seems like that is their goal. To remove every and all videos that contain Gackt. Are these people crazy? Why not see this as way of promotion? Why not join in on the fun and have Gackt start up his own youtube page like so many other musicians have. You know what......I'm just going to say it. Gackt and all his staff and all the people behind him just stay in Japan and do everything only for the people that live there. Whether or not foreigners like myself get a hold of their music is of little concern to them. And why should I be of any concern to them. I'm not Japanese. I don't live in Japan. I'm not a Dear. Which makes me ask myself "why am I a fan?" Why do I care so much about a musician who cares nothing about me ONLY because I don't live in his country. Why do I search like crazy to find videos, interviews, pictures. Why do I write to him on his English website (that has not been updated since December 8,2008) when I know damn well he or nobody else is even paying attention to it. That site lacks the features that is needed to attract English speaking fans. But what am I suppose to do? I don't speak Japanese to go to the Japanese version. I don't know anyone who does speak it to translate it for me. So here I am on the outside and barely able to see in. The funny thing is that he, along with so many other Japanese and  foreign musicians would love to be known here in America. For whatever reason (I really don't know) America is the golden ticket. To be known here is to be known everywhere. So if that's the case, why not reach out to us? Let us know who you are. And that not only applies to him but to everyone else too. I know when it comes to Gackt people always like to cover up for him and say "he isn't in control of making Dears international" and other things like that but is he not the artist? Is he not the one on stage singing? Is he not the one on the DVDs? He has a RIGHT to open up his mouth and say "let's do this for THEM." But he doesn't. Because he's scared. He knows he's popular in Japan but doesn't know how popular he is in America, England, Australia, or other foreign countries. So he doesn't want to risk not doing well. It's the ego of a musician. Why go over there when I'm doing so well over here? Why not? If you come with your same style and your same charm and your same enthusiasm then we will love you. You just have to sing in English. A language that Gackt himself has said, as well as so many other musicians, is the universal language. I'm not saying that he HAS to sing in English. I'm not saying that he has to come to America and do music. I'm not saying that he has to make all his website presentable in a language for me to understand. He doesn't have to do anything. And he doesn't. But what I hate is that with the little videos I do have, it's being taken away. And there is no way to stop it. So what am I suppose to do? Do I just say well forget him and move on? I'm sure so many foreign Gackt fans have done that already due to his lack of interest in us. Do I hold on and hope that when Bunraku he will become more active over here (I praying with that one!)? I don't know. All I know is that I cannot watch so many of the videos that made me love Gackt in the first place anymore. They are all gone. Hopefully people will re-upload but I'm sure fear of account deletion lingers in people's mind. *sigh. I just had to say something. I know I rambled and the possibility of people actually reading all of this and commenting is slim to none but I don't care. I was just going to burst with anger if I didn't say SOMETHING! And to add, I really do love Gackt. And I know some will disagree with what I say but it's just what I think and feel.

Today is my dear friend's, Luna, birthday. Just wanted to say that you're a great Siam Shade friend. We were meant to meet on youtube. LOL. Anyway, I just wanted to wish her a happy birthday right here on livejournal. Hope she sees this but she hardly ever gets on here. ALSO, today is Hideki Imamura's birthday!!! He turns 37 today. In case you don't know, he was the lead singer of Siam Shade and current singer of Detrox. He's a year older but it doesn't show in his face. He still looks like a baby. What are the odds that he would share a birthday with his number 1 fan, Luna? Obviously pretty good since he does. LOL. Happy Birthday to you both! Love the 2 of you!





 

 

I just want to tell everyone to have a Happy New Year. It's not 12am yet here. Only 7:30pm but I know in other places the new year has already begun. To everyone, as much as this is a joyosh occasion, please think clearly and understand that there are some dangerous people out there tonight. Be safe. Have a safe and blessed New Year!!!

It's been so long since I posted anything. Well today seems like the best day to write something. I received a few gifts today. My hubby bought me a really cute halter shirt, with a cute diamond baby phat watch, a PSP game that I can't wait to play, and my favorite chocolate. My uncle bought me a brow/black/white dress with some cute shoes. My brother bought me a T-shirt and a watch. That's it. I told everyone who was going to buy me something to give the money to my hubby so he could go buy a HD TV, which he got and loves. I went ice skating today. Yes that's possible in Miami. LOL. It was at a small ice arena. It was my first time and it was pretty fun. Then we went bowling. I lost but I wasn't the worst player so I'm satisfied. My sister was the worst. All in all I pretty happy with everything. I had a good day. I wasn't expecting to do anything today. The best thing was spending the day with my entire family. We haven't done things together as a family in so long since both my brother and myself got married. It was great. I'm a little sleepy because I went to bed past 5:30am and woke up at 12pm. I don't know why I went to sleep so late. Oh well. I took a nap but it was only for a little bit. I'll watch a little TV before going to bed. Well I guess that's it. Oh by the way

Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!! Can somebody say Barack Obama? Barack Obama, Kersha! Thank you! Yes! He is America's new President. I hope he is prepared to fix this mess that George Bush made. A lot of people have confidence him. I know I do. And if you don't, then you need to start because he is AMERICA'S NEW PRESIDENT and if you are American then he is YOUR NEW PRESIDENT. Respect him, have faith in him, support him. Because during this time when things have become difficult we need to be supportive of each other and supportive of our president. Let's pray for a bright and secure future with our new President.

Since livejournal will be down tomorrow, I just felt like writing. LOL. I've been enjoying my time here. I've met some nice people. I've found a lot of interesting stuff, as well as read a lot of interesting stuff. Mostly dealing with stuff concerning Siam Shade. LOL. But I did meet another interesting Japanese person. Oguri Shun. Kind of cute. LOL. Thanks for introducing him to me Kari. He's a real hottie. It's cold where I am. 50 degrees. Even though I am in my house I still feel the cold. I need a heater. Didn't expect winter temperatures to come soon. Well I'm off to go searching through livejournal now.

In Japan it's October 16. But here in America it's October 15. And October 15 is Natchin's birthday!!!! YEAH!!! He's a fellow libra like myself! He's turned 37. Happy birthday Natchin. I may be late to you but on my calendar I'm right on time. LOL.
