05:42 pm: Midsummer update

I know I rarely update anymore. It's just that sometimes I lose interest in keeping a blog, LJ or whatever. I find the inspiration to start doing it from time to time though. I have commited myself into accumulating all the JE PVs I have in one post and I plan to do it nonetheless. Also about uploading the albums and the singles... I plan on continuing it when I have the time. 

Also:
It's still too early to be saying this but: I'm planning on applying for a scholarship to do post-graduate studies in Japan next year. If I get it, I'll be moving to Japan for at least 2-3 years.  This is a dream I'll chase and won't let go. Up until now, whatever I put my heart into I achieve. 
But first I need to graduate. So in August I'll be studying my butt off to finish by next year! Wish me luck!

09:19 pm: My j-drama list
Just for the fun of it, I'm posting the list of completed j-drama series and specials that I have. The star next to some titles means that either I haven't watched the series yet or I'm in the midst of watching it.

01:37 pm: Winter 2008 Drama Top 5

The 2008 Winter Drama Season drew to an end. Let's see... It had good dramas ne? My Top 5 for this season was...

10:54 am: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy new year everyone! Best wishes for this year to be a good one! For me, 2007 ended in tragedy but I'm picking up the pieces slowly (I still cry at night before I go to sleep cause dad's face pops up in my mind...). I'll be fine!

So let's see the plan for 2008 (for my Internet life):
- I'll continue with the uploads. More Jpop PV's coming your way! I'll try to upload at least 6 per day...
- Start fansubbing. I'm planning on entering a jdrama fansub group as the translator. And maybe do a solo translating project for older dramas and specials. I have set my eyes on doing the whole 2007 Spring special of Yonimo Kimyona Monogatari (the one with Sho) cause I really liked that.
-  Maybe... just maybe... finally get an LJ paid account and make my journal more decent! Hahaha!
-  Buy yet more stuff from the net. I wanna get some mangas too. 
- Start playing WoW. It is my favorite MMORPG and dad's last gift to us. He didn't manage to give it to us personally. I'll put the account to good use!
- Continue dad's legacy in Lineage 2. He was his clan's representative and his spirit lives on through his favorite character: AndroklisGR. But how the hell I am going to adapt to a lvl 55 character when I'm a noob I still don't know! :P

That's it for now! Have a nice day everyone!!!

06:02 pm: Autumn 2007 Drama Top5

I figured I'll do this every season. Now that the autumn season in J-dramas is almost over I'll list the 5 dramas I enjoyed the most and the reasons this happened.

01:22 pm: Party Report
I'm at work right now and I'm extremely bored. So I thought, what the hell, I'll update!
This Saturday was my sister's birthday and we threw a party at our house. Our parents are way for over a week now so it was something we did on our own. This is what happened...

11:20 pm: A dream with KAT-TUN Part 2
OK! Here is the 2nd part! (oh and btw Ueda was not in this dream as you may have noticed! I don't know why! And I did not ask the guys about it! Maybe he had other bussiness)


So there you have it! Actually I hadn't seen any JE related dreams for almost a year! But 3 days ago I dreamt of KAT-TUN doing a spaceship skit on TV. And it inspired me to write a fiction about it! So maybe I will!

09:42 pm: A dream with KAT-TUN Part 1
Around last year I saw a dream with KAT-TUN. It was a scary dream and it was quite big and I wrote it down so that I wouldn't forget it! Brace yourselves guys! This is BIG!

  
That's it for now guys! I'll post the rest later!　あはははははは！夢は不思議だねえ！

02:37 pm: Crack Post: When J-dramas meet Greece
I knew I had to make this post someday but I kept forgetting it until I came across the last photo... Anyway, you guys will be surprised at how many Greek random elements can be found in J-dramas. Especially dramas that star guys from JE! I have watched over 100 dramas and heres some of the things I found extremely funny when watching mostly cause they are Greek!

10:32 pm: Update finally!
Well, it's an update! How come you'll ask! Well, I became really busy lately and I am to become more busy soon cause I have a job! It's full time for 2 months and it's practical exersice. I'll be working at the Informatics department of a big, private hospital. Kinda like the ones you see in Jdramas. It's gonna be tough but I'll try not to fall behind on my fandoms. Jdramas, jpop and such... Oh! Yeah! Me and my friends are starting a greek blog soon! It's gonna be crazy with lots of stuff from movies to sports commenting. I'll be in charge of Asian pop culture and I'll try to make it widely know to Greeks who still think that Japan produces only anime! Hehe!
Oh and let me ask a question. Would you like me to upload JE mp3s and videos (other than PVs) here? I would like to be more active u know! ^^ How about other Jpop??

06:50 pm: Tekkon Kinkreet report
 Ok. Yesterday I went to watch Tekkon Kinkreet, the movie where Nino made his voice acting debut. I was mesmerized when I learned that they were screening it as part of the Premiere Nights festival in Athens. So here is my opinion on the movie and Nino's voiceacting as Kuro. Just click on the cut.

11:02 pm: Before I explode
I'm ready to explode... Seriously! Tomorrow I have two exams (one after the other) and my stress is catching up with me! I wish I could have studied more but as time goes by I find it harder and harder... Oh! well... For those of you who know how Greek universities are, you also know that failing an exam means nothing, cause you can always try it again without repeating a year... Other than that...

Today I watched one of the most recent Mago Mago episodes. Man, I need to catch up! I hadn't watched in ages! I got immersed into Jdramas way too much! I'm also starting to watch some anime again and read some manga. Currently I'm reading Yamada Taro Monogatari. When I was in Japan I bought the first three volumes. I read the first in one day. It's funny as hell and the Japanese version is better than English scanlations. I understand most of the story (yay for 3 years of Japanese), which is quite different from the drama version. I like both equally. Now I just need to order the rest of the manga from YesAsia or sth but FIRST and FOREMOST I need a credit card. Ugh! I hate money shortages... Arashi have a new DVD coming out, KJ8 a new single and Tackey & Tsubasa a Best of Album! I want them all. I should probalby get a job but I'm too lazy! ><  

Also, this year I'll be trying some acting classes with my friends. I always wanted to be an actor/scriptwriter. It would be perfect if I could write the script for a Jdrama. A Jdrama that stars Arashi!!! XDDD But first I need some training! Classes start in November! So besides Japanese I'll have another activity! Yay!

I also want to try photography. I 've been told I have the skills and I like having a camera in my hand. Not a videocamera though cause I'm not too stable with it. Check out this pic of my sis and Maira (my sis is the red-haired one). Do you like it? These girls love photoshoots and I'm thinking of photographing them like a professional would do. Don't they look nice with their matching clothes? They went on a double date like this! Ooops! Too much info! Sorry Taz!

01:04 am: What a night!
I just came back from my outing, Saturday night. Me and my sis met with our girl friends, in Bournazi, a trendy spot near where I live. And after we had fun there my sis had to give the girls a ride home. And that's where the real fun began!
After we got Maria home there were just 4 of us in the car (Me, Sis, Eleni and Maira). In a traffic light there was a car next to us. And in the car were 4 boys who started hitting on us! They wanted to know where we were going, our cell phone numbers and stuff. We played along of course! My sis turned suddenly at one point in order to lose them but lo and behold they did a U-turn! And they kept following us. In 2 traffic lights one of them came out of their car and approached ours. We poked our fun at him and Maira asked him to marry her and give her his cell phone. When, however he went back to get his cell phone, the light turned green and we sped off. They followed but soon we managed to lose them. But on our way home there were also others who tried to pick us up as well! It's like we sprayed ourselves with pheromones that night.
All in all it was a fun night! Night drives are the best after all! And some facts:
1. The whole time I had the Yorokobi no Uta single playing out loud. When my sis stepped on the gas we would begin to sing it loudly.
2. Sis is an amazing driver. Her sudden turns were really smooth and she did not lose her calm one bit! She was high in spirits constantly!
That's it! Going to sleep now although I feel quite energetic. I have to study for exams tomorrow!

02:53 pm: At the uni
Hey yo! I'm posting from the university's lab! I gotta go to class soon so I'm killing some time here. I should update more often... And make this journal populaer or sth. How am I gonna do that? Hmmm... I'll probably have to upload stuff... But my upload speed sucks big time! However we're gonna upgrade our connection this summer (we = dad and me) so after I'm back from Japan I may have a lot of stuff to put up here! Yay!
Heh heh. Today I'm wondering around the university with KAT-TUN's Yorokobi no Uta single and Kanjani8's KJ2 Album in my bag... My friends said some awfully funny comments about the Kanjani8 outfits (u know those RPG costumes). They have a creatinve way to make fun of Johnny's without getting me mad at all. Instead I LMAO all the time!
Now I'm off to class!

07:34 pm: Hana Yori Dango Promo
My sister made a fantastic promo/fan video for the series Hana Yori Dango! It's scenes from the first 5 episodes and the song Wish playing in the background... This is my second favorite song by Arashi (Kitto Daijoubu being no1) and it's a sweet and cute song that touches my heart. The series is wonderful as well and I recommend it to everyone! If you have yet to watch it then see this promo! Sis did an awesome job on this! She has talent in editing! Really! Btw this is my first upload ever!

12:48 pm: Project : Translation!
Wow! It's been ages! I haven't written anything here for a looooooong time! Blame my boredom! Hee hee! Anyways... I started a new project with my sister and this time I'm seriously working! We will be fansubbing! Not hardsubs! Softsubs of course since we are not professional or anything. Well... time to cut to the chase! We will be fansubbing the Worst date series starring some of our favorite Johnny's idols! Hee hee! Of course we'll post the subs online! Right now we are almost halfway through subbing Kame's date! (Yeah I picked Kame first...) The translation is almost 95% done. I'm doing it. Some lines are giving me trouble but I'm steering through! My sis is in charge of timing and she just started it. She's good! She can pull this trough just fine! We are excited! I never imagined doing Japanese to English translations. It may not be perfect but the meaning gets through! Maybe I should do them in greek and introduce Johnny's to more people!

Well! that was the first update! Stay tuned! (I always wanted to say this!)
