interesting tidbits i pick up at work: New Half Day

Today is 4/4

one of my students told me this interesting thing

3/3 is girls' day

5/5 is boys' day

and 4/4 is "new half day" ... a recently declared gay holiday... well it isn't official.

but who cares?!

... the coincidence doesn't stop there, but if you know me, you know the next thing I'm going to say

...

...

and then, after that

i just randomly say:

ISHIYOSHI IS FO' REALZ

What I really miss...

I really miss the time when the most important thing in my life was IshiYoshi-ing

cuz i do have to admit that right now, there's just so much happening in my life and that i barely have the time to even check JPH!P for anything on either Rika or Yossy or both. whatever happened to 2ch or hatena or those uploaders??? OR OUR OWN FORUM!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?!

I feel like I've lost the anticipation for anything and instead of waiting for things to drop and i'll catch it before it hits the ground, now i just wait for it to drop to the ground, roll on the floor and find its way to my feet.

i'm not the same hopeful as i was two or three years back. and i kinda miss being that person.

i would get into arguments with my girlfriend because the ishiyoshi-fake-kiss-incident was more important than anything that's happening in our own actual lives.

at that time, i didn't really care so much about other people's time and attention and acceptance

i didn't care that they didn't understand the stuff that i did.

I was always so excited and jumpy about IshiYoshi...

but it's like that person got buried in real life drama, politics and shit...

*sigh*

i am kinda sick of this "real life" thing

must be a coincidence...

so yesterday, we saw this blog post pic from Ishikawa-san:

It's very easy to say that it is a coincidence.

In fact, I would say it IS a coincidence.Pretty much how everything about us and around us is a coincidence.

Maybe you guys don't think about it this way... but because i am a crazy person i think like:

"isn't is amazing how you were born as who you are and everything that has happened in your life has led you to this point of reading this crazy blog post by a crazy person that you probably wouldn't be reading had you done ONE thing or a some things that would have led to a totally different result?

that's how i see this whole thing... the amazing thing isn't simply that coincidences happen... it's that from an infinitely variable set of possibilities, brought upon us by infinitely variable causes, such a coincidence can happen.

The Pink String of Fate

this is really something of interest to crazy people like me: fate and destiny

to me, fate is everything i have been set to do by things that are precedent of me. so, in a manner of speaking, i am bound to be, do and experience things simply because i am me.

destiny is everything i end up being, doing and experiencing because of or resulting from decisions i make off my fate.

i can go on and on in this topic but i won't

i'm just glad they were born as they have been, they did what they have done, and they experienced what they have experienced that made them fated to meet and destined to be IshiYoshi

a little bird showed me this:

Hello～
おととい、梨華ちゃんがサプライズで登場！

アングリ～LOVE。

byよっすぃ～＆ハングリー

Something like:

Hello

Chin LOVE!

by Yossy and Hangry

thanks to cazza for the translation:

Rika's manager's twitter:

She previously stated there was a surprise in store for Yoshizawa Night and she revealed it after it was over~~~~

Quote

今日はLIVEで「愛すクリームとMyプリン」を歌いました。ちょっとしたサプライズとは、バニーの耳の登場。リハが終わってから、急いでスタッフが買い出しへ。 http://yfrog.com/mwegtij At today's live, they sang "Ice-cream to My Purin". The little surprise was they appeared in bunny ears. After the rehearsals, the staff had to quickly go buy them.

THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL

thanks to youjok for posting this pic in The Official ~IshiYoshi is Love~ Thread in DA CHUUCH OF CHARMY~ of JPH!P

Q&A

"how did you two get together and decide to form this group?"

"... Unmei kashira."

---

somebody prolly posted that already... so... yeah, just wanted to put that up here, for posterity

I'm looking forward to this~

a bit of rage

a couple of days ago, a good friend of mine and i were talking about the recent NYAF and Rika's involvement in it and obviously, we were talking about how awesome rika's reaction was to the fans

also, that friend and I also talked about how it seemed that yossy isn't as into the touring stuff as rika is...

...

and yes, anything contrary to that belief makes me rage

lols of casual ishiyoshiing now

i recently just remembered that i've always been the only ones to take rules (and other imaginary things) seriously

anyway, i think it's great that some people are reposting information on public places now... cuz a lot of those things, i have never seen ... or i've just forgotten... XD

i dunno, i think i just got to that point of not being curious enough to look things up myself, direct sources or otherwise, except on JPH!P

maybe i burned out... meh... whatever... that's not too important, ne?

so... yeah... for those who still haven't heard (even though i pretty much say it everywhere), i'm an english tutor to japanese people and it's very interesting... the things i learn from them

japanese culture straight from japanese people... in simple english

and then i realize that a lot of the assumptions i've made and were imposed upon me aren't necessarily true for many or most japanese

like how 'un' is more commonly used than 'hai' to say 'yes' to your peers. usually 'hai' is for responding to people senior to you (agewise or else) or to strangers

... hmmmm....

hi! i'm a new ishiyoshi fan..can i ask what's happening lately about them now? and what did you wrote to them?just a summary maybe?ekekeke.. thank you

hi!

i don't closely follow what's going on now but generally, outside their activities as musicians, they work apart appearing in dramas and talk shows. yossy also appears to be going into athletics, training for marathons. I can't say much other than that since that's all i know... if you want to follow them a little closer, http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?board=21.0 < is a good place to go

...hmmm... what i wrote to them? ... if you mean that card i gave them through daniel merlot in nagoya, my message was kinda short... i just told them that i admire them and want to emulate their sincerity (i really believe they are genuine and sincere people)... also, in behalf of my friends who also are fans, i told them that we will support them whatever path they choose to take.

Ask me anything

2 people, 1 love!

i had some chuckles today reading what some people had to say about something i'm truly guilty of, talking about our favorite coupling too much

but believe me, at that time in my life, that compulsion was the only thing that drove me to do anything

it's funny how to read now

but when i boarded the boards and the ships, they were saying too much too

and they were saying too much against IshiYoshi.

i won't blame my "youth". i was old enough to use the internet, i should be old enough to handle all those things. i should've been old enough to stay away from those boards, but i didn't.

if i had been shallow enough to take it out there to an annoying degree, apologies.

that is why i decided to make the forum, yes?

but indeed, i have seen no one has anything to say about ishiyoshi.

is there anymore to say?

we've all gone to that 'whether it's true or not, i believe they have that special bond' stuff. we won't talk about them like that anymore.

the forums are there, if no one talks, no one will talk.

ISHIYOSHI LIVES

i'm a little less busy than recently starting today... do i decided to get back on to ishiyoshiing

i've uploaded some stuff on the forum, i'm still uploading more ^_^

so if you got the time, y'all can check that out

i saw some blogs today!!

they look very interesting, i think they might be as delusional as us! (that's a good thing, btw)

check 'em out!
