okada, i knew i loved you for some reason. :) now, i remember why :P [oshareism 1/27/08]

i'm back from my taiwan escapade! :P freakin' freakin' cold out there. for someone who's used to a 25°-30° weather, the sometimes single-digit temperature was a bit of a shock. my friend, grace, was kind enough to put up with me during my 5-day visit. *thanks, thanks gracie!* i really had fun and was glad that i went (cold weather, below freezing temp tour, rainy/windy mountain trips and all). :D

i have to say that ximenting is my most favorite place in taipei :P it's definitely the perfect place for a JE fangirl (whose country doesn't sell any JE goods). it wasn't until my last night though that we found that little store that carried all the stuff i wanted. got myself a copy of ryo's boao feb issue! and kanjani8's photobook! and takuya kimura's % photobook (2006)! bought some magazines too. i wanted to buy a lot but my back's been bothering me lately again. :( i missed my parents though. it was my first solo trip abroad and there were some experiences i wanted to share with them. plus i missed all the bickering and small fights we always have :P

now that LIPS is out, i'm sure my f-list is flooded with LIPS entries once again. :P i'm a week behind my f-list that it scares me. it was funny how when the PV first came out, there were so many icons/caps all over that i think almost every frame of that video was covered :P (i'm not complaining!) i'll stop here and brave my f-list :)

notes:
mag freak store - ximen station gate 6. find TGIF.
1st branch: facing TGIF, go to the opposite direction on the intersecting street.
2nd branch: facing TGIF, go left til you reach the KTV bldg. go up to the 4th flr of the bldg across it (same side as TGIF and KTV).
