As of October 17, 2011, this blog will be half-public, half-private. Posts done in public will be punctuated with the Japanese word ミツル ("mitsuru") and will mostly consist of my essays and concert reports. Posts done in private will be marked with ヒミツ ("himitsu" = secret) and will mostly consist of RL and private stuff.
Please do leave a comment if you want to be friends - don't worry I don't bite. :)

Hihi. I saw your post about the donation drive? I'm from Leyte, Tacloban to be exact. Haha :)

Date: Sunday, February 2nd, 2014 11:18 am (UTC)Oh, are you okay? It must be hard. Are you still in Leyte right now? Yeah, it was the only way I can help though, small as it was...

Date: Sunday, February 2nd, 2014 11:28 am (UTC)I'm fine,thank you! I wasn't there when it happened, but I went home last December. My family is safe. It was a terrifying and at the same time, a very humbling experience. Like, we were reminded what really matters? And after 3 long months, the electricity will be put back on next week. XD
OH. Thank you! Every act of kindness and support is not small at all. :)

Date: Sunday, February 2nd, 2014 11:48 am (UTC)Ahhh that's good! It was the same for me when we had that 7.2 magnitude earthquake. In a sense, I was also reminded how fandom, though seemingly trivial, was also one of the most important things to me. It was a heartwarming experience when my fandom friends pitched together small stuff so that they could help somehow.
It's great that electricity will be back in your place soon! I thought that it was supposed to come back sooner? Back then people said the estimated date was January.

Date: Sunday, February 2nd, 2014 12:10 pm (UTC)Aww, yes! It actually fuels the desire to get back up knowing that so many are wiling to lend a hand. Half of my tears were of joy.
Well, yea~ But they were not able to do as they promised. They only managed to light up 10% of the damaged region back in December. To be fair, they did their best. The damage was WOW. I couldn't recognize some parts of the town when I went home.
How are things in Cebu?

Date: Sunday, February 2nd, 2014 12:25 pm (UTC)Ahh I see. It's understood though; the damage was really severe. It can really take months for everyone to get back on their feet. But I'm sure that material loss is nothing compared to emotional loss. Recovering from such kind of loss can take a very long time. It's very fortunate that your family is safe. I cannot imagine how others had felt...
We're doing good, at least the aftershocks are not anymore as bad as they were. The first few weeks were utterly terrifying. We were all stressed - all it took was a sudden shudder and all of us would either duck under tables or run outside crying. We were very grateful the storm has spared mainly of the island. It would have immensely traumatized everyone beyond belief.

Date: Sunday, February 2nd, 2014 01:11 pm (UTC)The damage on our house was actually mild. We consider ourselves one of the lucky ones. The post across our street fell on our neighbor's roof. A lot of others don't have roofs. The water did not reached our block, but it was chest level outside our subdivision.
It was 3 days of not eating properly and staying in front of the computer for me. It was nothing compared to what my mother and my aunt felt. They had to walk from our house to find a hospital and there were none. My aunt was pregnant. She had to ride a motorcyle to the next town, only to walk the other two towns before she could reach my grandpa's place. My sister said that my mother could not eat for the couple of days, lost in thoughts, a bit traumatized of the things she witnessed outside.
It was all stories of survival and loss when I went home. They were all thin and dark too. Everyone lost someone.
And, too many people walking on the street talking to themselves. I couldn't bring myself to approach them, to talk to them. I couldn't even look them in the eye. I mean what can you probably say to someone who've lost everything?
The healing for our home will take a while huh.
Ah, this comment is painful. I do this to myself all the time.

Date: Monday, January 12th, 2015 06:09 am (UTC)My favorite music group of all time is NEWS and my favorite member is Koyama (the other three tie for the number 2 position), and I've been a fan since I got Pi-baited with Nobuta wo Produce in 2005. I'd say my second favorite Johnny's group is Hey!Say!JUMP, but KAT-TUN ranks pretty high on that list as well. I listen to Arashi and Kanjani8 occasionally, too. I also enjoy other bands like Radwimps, and I'm a huge fan of Ellegarden, who are sadly not around anymore.
I hope I sound like someone you could befriend, since you sure sound like someone I'd get along with! :D
Note: Currently my LJ is fairly empty and I'm working on an updated profile and layout, so I'll link you my Twitter and Tumblr if you want to see a bit of my personality. Nothing really intellectual happens there, though, which is why I'm trying to resurrect my LJ.
By the way, I've been self-teaching Japanese for about 9 years and I do speak both English and Mandarin as my native languages, since I grew up bilingual.
よろしくお願いします!
