On Sunday, March 30, 2008, I attended a Toronto Raptors basketball game and was nearly moved to tears. What could have happened at a basketball that moved me so? Read on to find out… This 2007-2008 basketball season marks the first year since I’ve become a serious Toronto Raptors fan (that started sometime in 2000 or 2001) where my favourite player isn’t wearing the Raptors jersey. Morris Peterson (aka “Mo [ Read More ]
I don’t usually cover news pieces in my blog, but I thought that this piece of news deserved a mention. Today, Some Boys! Blog reported that Goto Maki’s official blog has re-opened and that she is currently in Los Angeles California. Now, I personally cannot read Japanese, but I went searching and found someone had already translated Maki’s blog entry to help out Maki fans. This information is courtesy of [ Read More ]
The tracklist to C-ute’s 5th single ‘Namida no Iro’ was announced a few days ago, and I must say that I was very surprised to see that their b-side will have the same title as the b-side on Berryz Koubou’s most recent release, ‘Dschinghis Khan’. I guess I shouldn’t have been, what with the b-side on ‘Dschinghis Khan’ labeled as ‘Berryz Koubou ver.’, but seeing as the a-side was a [ Read More ]
I have 1.5 hours until Cake Day ends in my timezone, and I’ve been debating on whether or not I should do a follow up HAPPY CAKE DAY post. But hey, how often do you get to celebrate the first birthday of International Wota? … That’s right! Only ONCE! So the follow-up post wins! After reading some people’s International Wota stories, I thought this would probably be the best time [ Read More ]
I started this H!P blog this past November. My first mention on International Wota came on December 8, 2007. Since then I’ve done 24 posts (this is post #25! Yay me!), moved domains (yay intlwota.com) and joined the International Wota team as a contributer. That’s a lot of activity in the 4 months since this blog began. And now it’s birthday time! This 25th (quarter way to 100) post is [ Read More ]
First off, I don’t think I explicitly said this in my previous post, so: A big shoutout to Ray for hosting me on intlwota! Thank you so much for your help and generosity! I am ridiculously appreciative! So, C-ute’s 3rd album came out earlier this week, and of course that meant that I had to review it. I was so excited for this album. You would not believe how much [ Read More ]
Welcome to my new home. I found that the ground in which my crops were growing was not fertile enough, so I had to uproot and re-plant in a more nurturing environment… LOL XD I originally moved over to wordpress.com, but after notifying Ray from International Wota and American Wota of my move, he offered me a space on intlwota.com if I found wordpress too limiting. If you couldn’t guess, [ Read More ]
Today, the package I’ve been waiting for from YesAsia finally arrived! The estimated date of arrival was originally given as this past Friday, but alas, I was not lucky enough to receive it in time for the weekend…. But it’s here now! That’s Buono!’s Café Buono! (LE) and A&R’s Shouri no Big Wave (Photobook LE). 2 weeks ago, I also got another shipment in, which I hadn’t posted here, so [ Read More ]
