There's only TWO Takki pages in it (well, FOUR because they're double spreads, but only TWO pictures!), and one of 'em has Takki squished WITHIN the bindings!!!! I'm sooooooooooo maaaadddd!!!! Buuuuut... I guess the CONTENTS of the interview does kinda make up for it! I was just hanging out around the house today, waiting for the time to meet up with another friend... so I decided to open all the magazines I bought... and opened up Myojo Feb... in hopes for a lot of good Takki pics... but oh well *shrugs*... the second page is kinda cute though... Takki was holding up a fried chicken and Jin had his mouth on the chicken!!! takoyaki-chan, methinks you're gonna loooove that pic!!! Hahahahah... and it's just so cute reading them going on and on in a normal friendly conversation... especially that part where Takizawa says: "ZENZEN DAME JYAN!" when Kame and Jin states their sleeping habits! (Kame: Sleep early, wake up late! and Jin: Sleep LATE, wake up LATE! ) Jin, you lazy ass you!!! According to Takki, they must sleep at 11 PM and wake up at 7 AM! And Kame protested saying, "We're not primary school kids on summer vacation yo!" Hahahahahhaa... oh these three crack me up!!! And I dare to bet my ass on it that JIN DOES NOT EXERCISE EITHER! But he claims that he DOES exercise at home in which Takizawa immediately rebutts his statement with an "USO DA!" and Jin goes, "IYA! MAJI DE! MAJI DE!" and so Takizawa asked him to show his body and Jin immediately REFUSED!!! HuahuHAuhUAhuHUAhuHUAaa.... sooooooooooooooo cuuuuuteeee!!!! When takoyaki was copy pasting me the translation I was cracking up already, and now reading it for real....
TOO CUTE!!!

Okay... here's something that kinda tickles my amusement over shopping today...
THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY: DEFINING "USELESS CRAP" IN A MATERIALISTIC WORLD
What's up with the RIDICULOUSLY priced BAGS these days??? I saw a ridiculously looking bag at Gaultier today... and it looked like someone stole the circus lights (okay, more like robbed an entire Swarovski outlet ) and embedded them all in that one bag's GIANT handle... and it's priced at a whopping $10,000 and worse... that's already a SALE price! The original retail price is......... *drum roll please* (btw, are we on THE PRICE IS RIGHT ???)
$30,000!!!!!! <-- for once, this icon is NOT a joygasm faint, but a REAL faint!
And I was going at my SHOPAHOLIC MOTHER and practically pulling a leash on her when she was eyeing and drooling on a SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLAR BAG! that's probably gonna go out to date in about a few months!!! (And no, it's NOT Hermes too! Isn't it RIDICULOUS? Oh and please don't get me going on THAT other ridiculously priced brand!) Jeez, mother! And you COMPLAIN I spend too much $$$ on TAKKI STUFF? (Read in mother's language: Takki stuff = USELESS crap) Well, in nere's language: SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLAR BAG = USELESS CRAP too!!! Can you imagine walking around with that bag and then the RAIN started pouring, and you whip out your umbrella, but instead of sheltering yourself, you'd be sheltering your DUMB SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLAR BAG!!! Okay... maybe SEVEN THOUSAND is not extreme enough... let's talk in terms of BIRKINs! So we're talking around the value of... say... $100-200K??? (and that's in US DOLLARS, mind you!) and YEAH, YOU COULD BUY A CAR WITH THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY! In the US, I think that same amount of money could buy you an SL500 or a Ferrari, I think! Tsk tsk tsk tsk... (Or, in nere's terms of $$$, I'd be counting how many magazines, how many TRIPS TO JAPAN and how many T&T Concerts I could get with that amount!) And did you KNOW that Hermes actually has a line of RAINCOATS just for their bags??? Someone told me that and muhahahaha I'm sorrryyyyyyy... to some people it MIGHT sound very useful but to me ==> *ROFLOLLLLLLL* I wonder what kind of a pricetag they put on those so-called BAG RAINCOATS I'll bet its like 500+ to 1,000 And NO, Thank God my mother doesn't have one of those or else I'd probably be crying right now Muhahahaha... I mean, such luxury is nice to have once in awhile, I can't deny that sometimes I myself AM eyeing one of those ridiculously priced bags... (remember toro-chan when we had our paws and noses STUCK at the window where that pink Dior bag was displayed along with its fellow pinkie pretty shoe?) But I don't know... some people buy those things like they have no more common sense... (well, I guess they *DO* have the money ) But you know... that money could've been used for more useless stuff (like, buying Takki crap--just kidding! ) Like I said, RELATIVITY baby... RELATIVITY! Hey, come on, my magazines are JUST as mafioso as Hermes bags since KINOKUNIYA JAKARTA has this *WHACKED* system of distributing to their so-called SUBSCRIBERS anyway...!!!
Dark comedic dialogue at a *BEEP!* boutique:
(censored to abide by politically correctism despite that it's been numerously mentioned in above passages, based on a true story in years yonder, and $ value portrayed below are spoken in terms of USD)
nere: Excuse me, how much is that bag?
attendant: Oh, it's $4,000, miss.
nere: Can I buy that one then?
attendant: No, you can't miss, it's reserved.
nere: OOOKAY then, which ones are available in this store?
attendant: None of these nice ones displayed. Those ugly cheaper ones at the corner are immediately available. They start at $2,000.
nere: Okaaay... so how do I go about getting those NICE EXPENSIVE ONES?
attendant: Oh you can put yourself on the waiting list. But the waiting list is about..... two years long.
nere: NANI?! TWO YEARS? Okay, who knows I might get lucky. So I put down which model and color I want, right?
attendant: Yes, but just so you know, miss, you MIGHT not get that model and color you picked anyways...
nere: WHAT!? So if I ordered RED it might come in GREEN or PURPLE?????
attendant: Yes, miss. That's correct.
nere: But I don't want green and purple!!! I want RED! What happens if it comes in green and I don't want it!?
attendant: Well, then we give it to our next waiting list customer. If she doesn't want it then we go down the list.
nere: Oooookaaaay... let's get back to THIS PRETTY BAG thats UNAVAILABLE... if it's so-called RESERVED... how come it's on DISPLAY???
attendant: Well miss, it's reserved by someone but we haven't been able to reach her for a week.
nere: OKAY... you can't find her and it's been a week. I'm here NOW. I WANT that bag. I'm READY to pay right now.
attendant: I'm sorry, miss. We can't do that. We have a priority customers' list and we must abide by the holy list...
nere: OKAY! SO HOW DO I BECOME A CUSTOMER IF YOU WON'T LET ME BUY ANYTHING!!!! Please explain!
attendant:You can go on the two-year waiting list. I'm sorry, miss. But our customers who HAVE purchased are the utmost priority for us. We live up to that standards.
nere: Is there ANOTHER WAY to obtain that bag???
attendant: Yes, there is!
nere: EEE??? Hontou desu ka?
attendant: Yes.... but only IF you're willing to spend ANOTHER $3,000 on top of this $4,000 pretty bag..... it's yours.
nere:
attendant:
nere: But... but... didn't you just give me that whole UTMOST PRIORITY CUSTOMERS speech?
attendant: Well... by spending a total of $7,000 at once you'd become one of our UTMOST PRIORITY CUSTOMER.
nere: Excuse me, I think I need to go puke now............................
WELL, ISN'T THAT JUST BORDERLINE STUPID???
Dude, it's a BAG... not a CAR And I took that story to my dad the same night (that was an attempt to buy my mother the perfect birthday present)... and my dad said, "Well, we COULD just dump $7,000 there and your mother would be psyched. But wouldn't we end up feeling like complete MORONS for the rest of our lives if we did?" Indeed, dad! Muhahahahahhaa.... tsk tsk tsk.... really! A 10 grand bag doesn't exactly make me a better person. So why abide in that pride-ridden standards when we can be TRULY happy with a pretty $10 bag that we TRULY fell in love with at first sight? (And not to mention finding it at such a bargain--which to me, brings an indescribable feeling of SATISFACTION) And not buying a 10K bag that hardly matches our clothes or physique (like those little women carrying GIANT ORANGE BIRKINS that seem to look bigger than them--always, always a ridiculous sight ) Ah, indeed we live in this crazy crazy world of ridiculously priced bags... I'd much much rather live in a crazy crazy world of ridiculously priced OFFICIAL JOHNNY'S PHOTOS But like I said, everything is relative... so mind you, I might just MIGRATE to that other crazy world of bags across the normal world someday... SOMEDAY... and when I do, toro-chan, would you mind SLAPPING me hard 10000000x with this BLOG ENTRY??? (Unless you've migrated along with me, then SOMEBODY ELSE is gonna need to SLAP ME SILLY with this blog entry as a reminder, OKAY???)
