After a week and a half of not touching any textbooks or readings for uni ... reading is HARD.

Brain hurts.

And, oh, so behind.

Why oh why did I waste my mid-sem break. I had so many plans ... but I just slept. Mostly. XDDD

Only 2 months to go ...

Rough translation of the post --> http://arashi-on.livejournal.com/4363084.html

So it seems like the agency themselves paid for the pandas. The donations will be used for rebuilding.

I wonder how aware they were of how the panda thing was being received. I don't know how wide spread in Japan that information was. I suppose they should have clarified how the donated/collected money was being used and from where the money for the pandas was actually coming from.

I wasn't against the panda thing but I'm much happier knowing that money is going to the children of the affected area.

I understand how those who donated may feel like this is not the best use of the money.

But this might not be all the money. It might be only be some.

And I understand the need for rebuilding and providing for those in the affected areas but it's not Johnny's (as in the company) job. There's the government, charities, etc.

They should have disclosed at the beginning what they intended to use the money for. That it was for something other than rebuilding. Because people donating would have thought that's what they were giving money for and to not use the money for that seems, I don't know, a bit of a misrepresentation.

But I don't dislike the idea of the pandas though.

ETA: 1432 people surveyed. Should have surveyed more people too. Not that I'm saying that the percentage is not valid but would be more credible with more people. anyhoo ...

... begins tomorrow. I'm not the most devout Catholic but I do like to observe Easter and Christmas traditions. Probably because of habit. 13 years of Catholic school etc.

So, this year I'm giving up tumblr, chocolate, swearing.

Yeah ... the typical things.

Last year I gave up twitter. That was very hard. I felt so out of touch with people. I suppose that's what an actual sacrifice is.

I was thinking of giving up alcohol but uh, no.

Maybe coffee? I should give up coffee? I have it everyday.

oh, good. that's on my list.

Tumblr, chocolate, swearing, coffee.

( More ramblings about Lent. )

Yays! I didn't pick him as a university type. Still waiting for news of Chinen getting into uni. Hope he does since he's smart and all that.

So, apparently Keito finished high school a year before Yamada, Chinen and Yuto because he went to an international school or something. Rumours of his entry into Sophia University appeared in October 2010. --> http://hey-say.livejournal.com/2246410.html

So, how come it's only now that he got in? Did he defer a year? Did he fail the first time then did the exam again? Or did he take the exam way in advance?

Anyhoo, Keito's English is really good then. Would love to hear him speak it more!

Because I read that ONTD post about Young Adult books.

- DIVERGENT - by Veronica Roth
- THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER - by Stephen Chbosky

after I finish reading 1Q84 XD

I finished Tantei Gakuen Q with a young Yamada Ryosuke and Kamiki Ryunosuke. I think it's cute that they went to high school together. Can't believe these guys and Shida Mirai are ONLY 18 now.

It's a few years old but it's a pretty good mystery/detective JDrama. Watch the special first!

That arama post about it has amazing comments.

It was unexpected but I think it's pretty awesome if true. I suspect if true they'll be having press conference. Perhaps after they actually get married or registered.

2 months is early to be announcing?

Just yesterday Meisa's official FB had a preview of her new single.

If stunt, seemingly unlikely every second, it's a big stunt. Remember rumours that the whole Nino/Masami was leaked to cover for some other Johnny's scandal? Think it may have been Hey! Say! JUMP related? IDK. So, was this leaked to cover something else?

OR - was that Disneysea picture leaked so that it would soften the ground for the pregnancy/marriage announcement?

Theories theories. rumours rumours.

Back to cramming. Last summer school exam tomorrow!

ETA: tweeps on twitter seem to think that they registered their marriage already. hmm. that's probably how the news came out then? idk really know how it works. how would they know if they were engaged or otherwise?

The news tomorrow shall be interesting.

ETA2: speak of the devil

Apparently they registered on Feb 2. you guys. XD

When and why and how did I end up wanting to watch Shounen Club? Clearly it's because of Ikemen Desu Ne and related groups ... but then how did I get from there to watching Hey! Say! JUMP variety shows as well. Hmm. Shall have to check past tweets I suspect ...

Everyone reading, if there's anyone. Ignore. Losing my mind while trying to write up study notes for summer school.
