I think it's really a great segment that they decided to add on Zubari ne... the one where they just kinda teach women the way they should behave or how to do this and that properly as a good wife. Like, they've done: folding laundry, making tea, polishing shoes, drinking soup, what else ne? Anyway, for once this time, I was actually watching how they do things (like seriously listening to Hosoki instead of keeping my lookout for every Takki movement in the show) Because I do need some etiquette lessons because for some reason in this past few years I seem to find myself being deteriorated completely to this barbaric girl creature with no table manners! LOL... my mom had given up on me... she was like, OMG what happened to everything I taught you!

Iyaaaa~n Dark chocolate-chan is dressed in black iyaaaaaaa~~~nnnn Ohhh I'm kinda glad tsuba 2 totally *WHACKED* me up good with this clip coz the whole day I was just going Christian Bale Christian Bale Christian Bale Christian Bale Christian Bale Christian Bale non-stop that she had to start making 1000 nekkie Takki plushies to whack me back into TxT planet!!!!! (Actually this Christian Bale thingy was just a long lost demon inside me that fell asleep 7-8 years ago just because I couldn't dig up much on him during Little Women and again when American Psycho came up--but anyway! Back to our main squeeze...) DARK CHOCOLATE CHOU DAICHUKI YOOO~

It's just sooo funny how throughout the whole lesson, everytime she said, OK let's start... then 5 seconds later she'd go, OK STOP! CUT! Onee-chan you're doing this and this wrong! Onee-chan you're too sloppy! This is wrong! That is wrong! LOLLLL~~~~ I feel like I'm seeing a complete deterioration of refinement in the younger generation, really. Sometimes it feels like we just don't pay much attention to being demure and refined... LOL... or maybe it's just me! Until this very day I still can't hold a chopstick the right way! LOL!!! (but I survived) There was this one time I was eating with a very close friend of mine (he's a guy--heck, most of my closest friends are guys anyway--maybe that explains why I'm so barbaric? LOL) And he asked me if I could pass him this huge meatball onto his bowl and instead of picking it up with a spoon or chopstick properly, I took a shortcut and JABBED the chopstick into the meatball and picked it up and dropped it on his bowl And he was just like... *speechless*... then he said that he needs to sign me up to John Robert Powers!

If I was sitting in that segment of Zubari... I'd probably get yelled at the most by Hosoki-sensei ne... (partly because of my bad bad table manners, but mostly probably because I'll be constantly clawing Takki?) Anyway... LOL!!! Hosoki-sensei reprimanded the girls that when they pick up their chopsticks, they should be very delicate and doing so instead of like waving it around in a kawaii-kawaii-genki kind of way yelling "I-ta-da-ki-maaaa-su!" XDDDDDDD LOL~ it kinda never really occurred to me nowadays, the fact that I should be minding my table manners a little more, until I watched this today... like the way I cut my fish into pieces with my chopsticks... sheesh I don't know how Hosoki-san does it... she just kinda cracks open the fish gently with he chopsticks and then kinda tugged a little and then out comes the entire SPINE!!! OMG HOW DOES SHE DO IT??? LOL!!! I have to rewatch and practice THUD... Now that takes...... extreme skill! LOL

But i think even Takki had better table manners than some of the girls there LOL... I guess it's not really bad table manners, but probably more like ignorance because there was this girl sitting next to Takki... I think it was the last dish they're supposed to taste and while everyone was listening to Hosoki-san's instructions, this girl already had a piece picked up in her chopstick but LOL... worse, she was just like staring at it, examining~~~ I don't even know what it was... I think it was just slices of fish? LOL... dunno why she looked so fascinated at it! Girl.. it's just FISH yo!

And so funny!!! Hosoki-san was like ehhhh you're not supposed to touch the food yet! And the girl sheepishly put everything down, and...



*BANG BANG BANG*

OMG Takki started jokingly banging his hand on the table as if gesturing a scold towards her!!!! IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~~~ OMG I'd totally just curl up and die if I was that girl! CHOU HAZUKASHIII~~~ LOL... whacks that girl! You have Takizawa Hideaki sitting right next to you yo! *whack* LOL~ that was funny and uncalled for though, that banging table reaction! OYAJI!!!!

Ahhh but I think it's sooo tiring to be so properly-mannered all the time! (Maybe not for those who are totally used to it~ but ahhh for me it's a chore!) Hmmmm... my mom is always so proper and demure though, how come the apple falls so far away from the tree!!! Thud! What went wrong? Ahh... the mysteries of life! But perhaps it's not so bad to start to..... learn how to hold chopsticks properly, desho?

Btw FYI, Christian Bale is voicing for HOWL in the english-dubbed version of Howl's Ugoku-shiro! I'm actually an extreme ANTI-anything-dubbed (which includes english/chinese-dubbed dorama or anime; AND ALSO japanese-dubbed english movies or TV series yo! Yeah it applies BOTH WAYS! x___X) HOWEVER... I am making an exception for Mr. Bale's case, and I will buy the U.S. version DVD when it comes out and theeeen I can switch back and forth back and forth between Kimura Takuya and Christian Bale! LOL... double jackpot whammy! THUD~~~~ argh how did we return to Christian Bale??? aki!!! NEKKIE TAKKI PLUSHIES!!!!!!!

Weird weird selection of programs LOL~~~~~ then again maybe it's just me who never heard of ANY of it except Hey Hey Hey LOLLLLL~~~~ I wonder who's Olympus' agency XD BWAHHHHHHHH I wonder if MindShare will take me back and transfer me to Japan LOL (what an ingrate I am, I resigned, I beg them to take me back, then I request a transfer to Japan--which is very much possible according to my former manager) LOL... XD

Supposedly in the TV ad, he's already wearing his new dark chocolate hair Iyaaaa~~~~n In the newspaper ad today he was in white with his dark hair... have yet to look for the CM~ Ganbarimasu!

And I think the CM is for this new Olympus μ-800 Hmmmmm Even so... the zoom is still too weak for me!!! BWAH!!!!!! Why can't they make a teeny camera with a 20x optical zoom eh?!

Btw... been bored and browsing around lately... and found that the J-BATON actually comes in JAPANESE LANGUAGE VERSION! LOL... this baton has really been PASSED AROUND ne!!! Did it originate from Japanese language? I really thought only overseas fans who just have nothing to do but make up this sort of batons... and pass it around... (including me *LOL*) Hehe... amusing!

Oh and this week's Zubari actually proved to be quite USEFUL to me... EATING ETIQUETTE CLASS!!!! LOL... how to hold my chopsticks properly and all... how to cut open my fish with chopsticks! OMG THANK YOU HOSOKI-SAN!!! Damn, she's one refined woman... but the rest of her crew (including Takki)... LOL Hahahah~~~~! Anyhoo... talk about it later! Oh is there a new Takiren too? *dies*

*plops*

OK aside that, two things about this Takiren... ONE:
WHERE WAS TSUBASA!?
...or Koutan/Kontan for that matter!
Iyaaaaadaaaaa~ *quickly packs bags and swim and paddle to Japan* I'M COMING BABYYYYY~~~~ YOU ARE NOT ALONEEEEE~~~~ (Erm... I'm still paddling despite I know all this happened yesterday a.k.a. I'm way too late already LMAO~) Gaaaaaa.... whacks whacks tsuba 1 and tsuba 2!!! YOU wa didn't accompany MEEEEEE bwahhhh you don't love meeeee LOL *runs* heheee... both aki and I wondering why Tsuba wasn't with him... hmmm perhaps Tsuba already zzzzzzz when Takki's plea came beeping on the J-web LOL... but shouldn't Takki just call Tsuba? XD But you know at least he's not with Koutan Maybe he's trying to tell Tsubasa something fufu... Look honey I'm NOT with Koutan/Kontan yo~ aren't you proud of me? *LOL* haha Nah... I think he just wanted to be alone... sometimes one just needs some alone time. Actually I just spent my entire weekend alone too due to attack of the killer PMS I figured I'd rather stay home than trash damage to the world because seriously, everything just totally annoyed me this weekend!!!!!!! Ah poor world... I trash it once a month when I'm on PMS! I wonder if there's such a thing like MALE PMS? Dammit... why do we girls have to go through the crappiest stuff?

Or... you think he's being a big liar liar pants on fire on his Takiren? He could be typing his Takiren with Tsuba or Koutan or __________ (fill in the blanks) giggling right behind him!!!! Ahhhh I wish I knew!

Anyway, that was ONE. Now TWO:

Eto... Hehe... FOUR TIMES???? Watching self on TV... FOUR TIMES??? And what was the word he said...? KANARI KACCHOII YO~ (in which I'm pretty sure is Takigo for "kakkoii") (suddenly images of Takki checking himself out on the back of his SPOON flashes in my head)

Btw... what episode was today? Episode 25 I believe... (coz I just changed my recording tape for today's episode LOL--I change tape every 4 episodes) Wah... he gets advance screening ne zuruiiiii (Then again, he *IS* the TAIGA DORAMA LEAD ACTOR) OMG... almost forgotten how HOT that title sounds... taiga dorama lead actor... taiga dorama lead actor... taiga dorama lead actor... gyaaaaaaa I better stop now LOL

Tee-hee... when I read his first sentence I almost giggled myself to death... so cute the way he seemed so excited over the fact that he got a day off yesterday (Saturday) In which btw Takki... in PLANET NORMAL (a.k.a. outside Johnny planet and/or workaholic planet) we are supposed to not work on Saturdays LOL.... actually... I kinda remembered that last time Indonesian kids still have to go to school on Saturdays. When I was younger I was always so jealous of my cousins who went to school in Singapore because they get holiday on Saturdays, how come I have to go to school on Saturdays NO FAIR! (Ah... because you are in third world country my dear--that's why LOL) But anyway... just wondering why out of the many many places on earth Tokyo... Takki chose to go play alone in a furniture store? Thud... don't tell me he go buy another baka thing... like maybe this time... COTTON CANDY MAKER??? I was just reading Wink Up 07/2005 earlier today and Takki said that the stuff he most recently just bought is probably his POP CORN MAKER, and the reason he bought it is because he likes pop corn a lot!!! *thud*... And when he first got his popcorn maker, he was popping corn everyday and munching every single day!!! Until...

...but lately I haven't been using it anymore though. (the pop corn maker) E, the reason I stopped? If I eat too much pop corn I'll get reeeeally FAT! (laughs)
~from Wink Up 07/2005

ROFLLLL~~~~ I didn't know Takizawa Hideaki could be afraid of GAINING WEIGHT!!!! Actually I think lately he didn't seem so skinny anymore ne... or is it just my eyes have adjusted to the "dark" accordingly? *sigh*... I guess if you compare him to that broad-wide-macho-Dream Boy Takki he is thin in comparison... but I think he's gone better from that sickly hadaka shot in the 2005~2006 calendar that almost made me wanna cry looking at how his pants are just about ready to drop! (Not that it's a bad thing though)... LOL... I guess we owe it to... TAKKI'S POP CORN MAKER???

Hmmm just a thought... I wonder if his dark chocolate hair will already be in August Wink Up, Duet or Potato kanaaaaa..
