A 5.9 magnitude earthquake rocked the entire region as well as other connecting areas in Mindanao. It was almost 10pm when it happened. I was outside downstairs and I thought it was just slow one so at first I was just ignoring it. When I heard a neighbor scream I got scared and felt the ground was really shaking. I panicked and wanted to run upstairs but I ended up sitting on the doorstep. I find it scarier on the stairs. It should be better to remain calm, it was my neighbor who was screaming and scares me more. After it stopped, I then rush upstairs to check on my sis. Power was then shut down for 30 minutes in the entire city. I then called my parents, because the epicenter was actually 43 km from where they are and am so relieved that they are safe. The earthquake was said to be tectonic. But fortunately, everyone is safe and ok.
AKB48 continues to have many articles and picture features in UTB which has been a growing trend in these pages and (more ♥ for CK ne~!) they're really taking the idol group genre to chart topping heights in both position as well as sales~! Takusan~! AKB features in this issue!!! with both solo and group pictorials/articles on AKB48's Oshima Yuko & Maeda Atsuko, SKE48's Matsui Rena & Mukaida Manatsu as well as an AKB48 feature and a mini group named ”く~のね4”。。seifuku♥ so *kawaii*~!! ^ ^
H!P who's been a mainstay in UTB also has *cute* features on Maimai with additional off shots not included in her 1st solo shashinshuu~, an upcoming preview of Riichan's new shashinshuu always so *adorable* ne~! and Maimichan's♥ ongoing photo feature continues towards the back of this issue with what I think is possibly her most *kawaii* photo shoot to date for UTB~! \(^o^)/☆
While the format of UTB has seen so many changes over the years one of their staples has always been their high level of photography, engaging articles w/ idol games...news...interests..hobbies♥ as well as the occasional idol♥room invasion~! (・д・`*) With their glossy covers and flat spines back now for some time~ UTB has really returned to their original prestige in idol♥ publications setting the standard so much~.
The extras which in the past has included pull out posters, clear files and a most impressive DVD in each issue...now published every other month~ are randomly inserted photo trading cards and you'll receive with each issue a chance for one out of three possible sets~! This month I received set "A" and for the most part your favorite♥ idols are divided up pretty well within these card sets so for instance if you're a fan of either H!P or AKB48?SKE48 you'll receive at least one member in your set no matter if it's A, B or C~ ^ ^。
In addition...in the middle variety features section there's more on S/mileage with member profiles so you can learn their personalities much better, a solo shashinshuu article with Riichan♥ where she reflects on her previous pb releases~ and Nakki & Airiin preview C-ute's upcoming "best of" album which has a tentative release date of November 18th~!
Okay~! before I lull you into sleep ( 」´0`)」Zzzzzzz with any more of my talk~…(^q^) here are those aforementioned article's scans.....I'm beginning with Maimichan's♥ as I think it's the most *wonderful* pictorial in this issue and really she's just so so *adorable* here as she portrays daily activity *moments*~ from waking to playing to sleepy time here's Maimichan in "Days" vol.5 up first.....
What was your favorite class in high school? (And no, lunch doesn't count.)
Hmmm...., I do have many and these are the Top 3 ~ for me!
P.E.H.M [ Physical Ed.,Health & Music] ~ Here, I had learned Dancing, Singing & Gymnastics.
Cosmetology Classes ~ Hair & Make-up :)
Values Ed. ~ Good Manners.
Being in the Special Science Classes during my high school years, Research, Advance Bio & Chem subjects are really boring and complicated. Those Top 3 i find them really fun & interesting... ^_~
Christmas Time is fast approaching and for me it’s a *fairy god mommy* time!!! Yeah, I am a godmother of 9 kids/babies ~since I was 21 ^0^ ~ I really love being one, because I so love kids and babies, their presence really do make me so happy. And during this season, buying presents for them is really a must! Like I’m a Santa lol ~ not only for them but also for other kids who are so dear to my ♥heart♥..
Meet Baby Jian ~ He’s my first godson, way back 2006 and I was just 21 that time. He already turned 3 last April 14th. The 1st as they always say is lucky especially it’s a baby boy. I always believe in that! His dad is one of my staff and mom , too. I picked the name *jian* for them and joseph was derived from the dad’s name.
Aljon ~ the 2nd... Again, a boy! I seldom see him. Only when they visit me at work. He is a snub kid, really. He doesn’t talk much like others. Or maybe shy? He also turned 3 last January 29th. I was asked to be a godmother by his late Grandma ~ I already met his parents during one of the company’s year-end parties.
Albert ~ 3rd and I don’t have any photo of him as they live in other city, though am trying to asked from his mom if she could email it to me or mms maybe. He’ll be turning 3 this 26th next month [after xmas].. He mom was a friend and co-employee before when we used to work for Johnson & Johnsons. [ no photo available] ..
Xianjoe Matthew ~ the 4th and the most hyper kid among them. He’s really so talkative and I love it! He’s also turning 3 this 27th next month [next to baby albert]. His mom is a very close friend. [ i tried looking up on my other site for his photos if there's any]
Zeth Andrew ~ the 5th, and just turned 2 last June [2009]. I get to see him a lot because his mom is my boss’ niece and such a good friend. He’s really playful and has toured Asia a lot at a super young age!
~♥~
Jules Willis ~ the 6th , he just turned 2 last November 5 ~ I also get to see him a lot because he is my former Front Desk’s son.
Earl Justin Charles ~ the 7th, and will turn 2 this 11th of next month. His dad is really a good friend of mine and always teases me that as long as I don’t get a baby girl I will not get married anymore LOL! [which is really not true, I guess!] I don't have any photo of him as of now but a funny video was sent by his dad ^0^
Mishca Andrea ~ the 8th and a BABY GIRL!!!! , finally, as one of my closest friend gave birth to a baby girl on March 19 of 2008 ~ and asked me to be the baby’s godmother. I didn’t let that opportunity pass ~ u knw what I mean! Baby Mishca already turned 1 last March.
~♥~
Coleen ~ the 9th , was born January this year. So tiny she is. I was asked to be her godmother last September by his father who is my staff. Though I haven’t attended the christening day due to a conflict of schedules and the location was really far [ though I wanted to attend even just for few hours but really not possible cause by just going there took really hours].

May you all have a wonderful time this Christmas!
Earlier today I received some very exciting news from Anise & Cloves and this really involves one of J-Pops♥ most prestigious stars~☆!She debuted with such honors garnered through record breaking firsts in numerous sales and age categories~..and although I must shamefully (*´艸`) say that I've followed her music only through her early years from her debut with "Automatic" up till her third album (._.;)!....this is just such overwhelmingly exciting news for all Hawaii J-Pop♥ fans~! \(^o^)/☆ We truly haven't experienced an artist of this magnitude since Amuro♥Namie which seems so so long ago (;´□`)!
From Anise & Cloves I've heard the early details that Utada's concert will be held on January 15th, 2010 at 8 pm at our very own Pipeline Cafe....(which has hosted past H!P events) furthermore tickets will go on sale this coming Saturday and are only and I say only $30! ^ ^!I have a prior engagement at this time but I'm hoping to reshuffle something in my calendar to be able to attend too~.
