I'm still in disbelief... I am still in shock.  I cannot work right now but I have to keep a straight face even if I want to cry.

Imagine my shock yesterday when I visited the FC site out of the blue to check the balloting and their video was shown.  Since I cannot understand Japanese, tried reading the Google translated posts below the vid.  I thought Google made a mistake.  But upon checking Twitter and all my social media groups, my fear was confirmed.  Tears just poured.

Im speechless.  My 14 year old fangirl heart is broken.  I want to blame someone but I cannot.  I have to respect Riida.  If I get angry with him, I am not a true fan.  The other members didnt blame him, why will I?

I dont want to put my hopes up.  It is indefinite.  What if Riida liked what he experienced outside show business knowing that even during their initial years, he was not up to it.  He is such a gentle soul, his artistic side wants to explore.  So I should tune myself not to expect.

But until then, up to December 31, 2020, I will treasure those remaining days with my boys.  Support their group activities, keep them in my heart and memory.  I will keep on smiling till the end (and cry in the corner).  Arashi, you all did well.  Thank you for being my daily happy pills and I will forever be one of your greatest fan.

So I watched both Peach Girl and Daytime Shooting Star in the same day. For the movie synopsis, I will be getting them from Asianwiki. Warning that for my thoughts, they may contain spoilers.

PEACH GIRL

Momo Adachi (Mizuki Yamamoto) is a female high school student. She appears to be a wild girl due to her tan skin and dyed hair, but she is a actually naive and sweet student. Since her days in middle school, Momo Adachi has secretly held feelings for classmate Toji (Mackenyu). Meanwhile, the most popular male student, Kairi Okayasu (Kei Inoo), becomes interested in her. Her friend Sae (Mei Nagano) is jealous of her and tries to block Toji from Momo. Momo is conflicted with Toji and Kairi, but she has to make a decision.

 My first thought, the girl totally looks like Yaotome Hiraku of Hey! Say! Jump!  Haha!

And for me, Yaotome might be really funny but he is not exactly the best looking among the group.  So a girl version being pursued  by Inoo and Mackenyu’s characters?  She is sooo damn lucky!  I mean up to the end, wow girl, these 2 guys really like you.  Up to the end, I was thinking if I was in her shoes, who would I choose among those 2 guys?

 Inoo is one of my biases in JUMP but boy… his acting is like his normal self.  Being cute and child like.  Not much on the acting though.  You can tell that he is really new in the acting scene.  Mackenyu on the other hand is really good plus SUPER GOOD LOOKING.  They are complete opposites but I like them both!  Argh!  Up to the end I don’t know who I am shipping for Momo.

 I have to give credit to Mei Nagano who played the antagonist Sae.  She was really convincing in being evil.  My only comment to her character and to the plot is that these are not the works of a high school student.  The plot went from cutesy to R18 to melodramatic cute.  I mean, the scheming and plots where the likes of an afternoon TV dramas that moms and grannies watch.

 Still, this movie was feel good movie for me J

DAYTIME SHOOTING STAR

Suzume Yosano (Mei Nagano) is a first grade high school student. She lived in the countryside, but, due to her parents transferring overseas for work, Suzume now lives in Tokyo with her uncle (Ryuta Sato). Suzume has never had a boyfriend before, but she has feelings for her homeroom teacher Satsuki Shishio (Shohei Miura). Meanwhile, her classmate, Daiki Mamura (Aran Shirahama), becomes attracted to Suzume.

 Firstly my initial thoughts à wow, the lead girl is Sae from Peach Girl?!  What a complete transformation!  From a scheming chic like girl to a naïve girl.  Good one!  And her acting was really good.  So im kinda happy that she gets to star in her own movie and stuck in supporting roles.

 2^nd thought, the male leads… Shishio sensei is suuuuper cute!  I wouldn’t mind having a cute teacher like him.  However, a HS student and teacher romance is kinda off like eeewww… As for Aran playing Daiki the classmate who is attracted to Suzume, I thought he looks a little mature for a HS student.  Generations fans please don’t kill me.  Haha

 This movie is also feel good.  It gave me the feeling of if I can only go back to HS or college and be more like Suzume, simple but also straight forward in a way.  Though its eeewww, you also get the feels for sensei.  I was rooting for him.  Maybe they can be a couple once Suzume gets into college.  LOL

 That’s it for now first.  Need to pay off my credit cards and mobile plan then watch more Kahogo no Kahoko (whose downloading is taking toooo long thus the free time to write this blog).  Maybe, I can start with Because This is My First Life which has good reviews also…

So...during our company's Annual Physical Examination last September, the doctor felt something in my tummy and advised me to have it checked via ultrasound.  It was discovered that I have a myoma which has to be surgically removed.  I didnt prolong it any further afraid it will grow bigger, I had my operation within the month.  It was really painful and my first to have a major surgery.  I was immobile for the first few weeks but good thing, as per our country's law, we are allowed 60 days of medical leave with pay.

Yes, 2 months of rest and recovery.  I am living the life of a bum but gets paid.  So yes, I sleep, eat and did watch a lot of movies, dramas and variety shows both in English, Tagalog, but mostly Korean and Japanese.  I watched a lot of old episodes of VS Arashi, Arashi Ni Shiyagare, Himitsu no Arashi, Mago Mago Arashi, Concerts and all other variety shows plus music show performaces.  I also discovered my love for Hey Say Jump with Itadaki High Jump!

I am now on my 1.5 month leave.  I can now move freely and drive.  But still not allowed to workout.  My doctor said I can do dancing by December and cross fit after 1 year.  So, here I am fatter than ever.  argh!  Still I will not force myself and will go back to dancing by January.  Maybe do some slow walking in the treadmill by December and start dieting by next week (really during Christmas time?!)

Anyway, in a span of 1.5 months, I have watched so much Korean and Japanese dramas, shows and movies that I cannot remember them all.  However, when I was watching them, I have so much to say to… NO ONE (except on some Korean shows wherein I was them with my sisters).  Which leads me to wanting to write all my thoughts here at my blog.  FYI, these are just my random thoughts and may contain spoilers.  They are all my opinions, and some may not agree with them or may but everybody is welcome to their own opinions.

If you wish to know them, you may read through my next postings.  These are not in particular order of when I saw them.  also, these are not complete.  I cannot even remember all those Ive seen… But first, I will watch Kahogo no Kahoko. LOL
