In all my unforgiving lateness

YES I’M FINALLY HEREEEEEEEEEE. Seriously, my lateness for properly acknowledging various occasions recently is just unforgivable! I blame work for everything. Everything! I’ve already lost track of my usual daily routine pre-employed days (AKA being a lazy bum with an excuse of being a secondary school student) and I hardly have time to even fangirl anymore, it’s sad. I feel my life being robbed away… T_T

Anyways!

Firstly, I’m going to have to regain my dignity as a Sakurai wifey… and wish Sho-chan a VERY BELATED お誕生日おめでとう~!!!!!!!!!! Happy turning 27 years old, my beloved bakawaii hubby~ ♥ With this, I have come up with a list of Birthday Wishes:

I hope that you would never stop:
♥ being such a dork
♥ being the sexy one-half of Sakuraiba love
♥ grinning with that usual baka-ness
♥ improving your already amazing English
♥ loving children
♥ mothering over dearest Ohchan
♥ your sexy heart-stopping rap
♥ being such a scaredy cat
♥ being such a sports baka (or a failure in VS嵐)
♥ showing off your muscles
♥ your god-awful drawing
♥ being an unintentional hentai (always an influence from Aiba)
♥ visiting all sorts of places (like New York!)
♥ being bullied constantly by your groupmates
♥ your unwavering dedication to Arashi
♥ being just Sakurai Sho we all love

Last year I did 26 icons to celebrate Sho’s 26th birthday, but sadly this year I don’t have time to come up with 27 icons T_T At least I did a few… hope you enjoy them!

Also! Malaysian fangirls are holding a birthday bash to celebrate Sho-chan’s birthday tomorrow! Here are the details:
WHERE: KLCC park, Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur
WHEN: 31st January (Saturday), 11:30am onwards
WHO: All Arashi fangirls (or even non-fangirls who’re interested to join us <3)
WHAT: Picnic! XD And also lots of flailing and socialising and maybe even Arashi goodie-sharing~

Sadly… I can’t make it. Because as usual I’m working… at such an untimely moment. Seriously. I CAN’T EVEN MAKE IT FOR MY OWN HUBBY’S BIRTHDAY BASH. I so fail OTZ (and I already got a scolding from Salwa-neechan!) But I still hope you guys will have fun neeee~

And also… I wish everyone a VERY BELATED Happy Chinese New Year~! Anyone aside from me who celebrate it? XD Lots of cookies and sugared packet drinks and soda pop and red packets… fun times. Here’s my collection of this year’s red packets:

Sakurai Month is drawing to an end ne~ I wanna step into February with a strong resolution to better myself as a Sakurai wifey. *nods*

Uta no Oniisan opening song

If listening to this song makes you bop your head to it while grinning like an idiot the entire time… well join the club! XD Yeah I’m awfully weird, blame the impossibly amount of caffeine I’ve consumed. This song is soooo filled with kawaii-ness… and it’s sung by Ohno! Am I the only one who wants to watch Ohno dance to this song…? I can’t help but imagine him doing some silly kindergarten sort of dance XDDDD Bah, I don’t care, I sense an incoming addiction to this song already <33333 Apparently he’s only the 3rd Johnny’s Boy to sing a solo song for a drama? Can’t really remember the exact details. I WANNA WATCH UTAONI SO MUCH MORE BADLY NOOOOOOW. Must… wait… for… subs… *dies of impatience*

I need to go to work now.  So I shall leave you with this icon to brighten up your day~ (credits to ArashiPerfection):

Have a great day, minna-san! XD

Day 19 of Sakurai Month

REASON #17
why Tashii just can’t get enough of Sho-chan:

Because he has a secret panchira fetish… and his groupmates never fail to remind him of his infamous title, the Panchira Ouji. XDDDDD

Day 16, 17 and 18 of Sakurai Month!

REASON #14
Why I adore Sho-chan to death:

He’s one half of the Yama Pair/Ojiisan Team, and he’s so unashamedly affectionate of his beloved Riida. Remember Reason #12 where I gushed over Sho-chan babysitting Ohchan who fell asleep babysitting himself? You get what I mean ♥

REASON #15
Why I can’t help but be unwaveringly affectionate towards Sho-chan:

(icon doesn’t belong to me)

He can get so embarrassed by his own baka/childish antics (thinking he can get away with being kawaii) that even Takki thinks he’s beyond help XD

REASON #14
Why I just simply love him:

In one second he’s sooo kawaii that you want to squish him, and then in the next second he’s soooo sexy you want to rape him. Who else can fit easily into this sort of transition? Simple as that~ ♥

Ohchan goes “EHHHHHHHHHH~?!”

I looooooooooove it when he does that with such emphasis XD

From Uta no Oniisan preview:

I wanna watch Uta no Oniisan soooo badly now T_T The first episode aired on Friday, right? *was out having a drink with other work colleagues at that time*…*cue heavy bricking from fangirls* XDDDDD I’ve decided to wait the subs to be released, and I vow THIS TIME I’m going to catch up with each week’s episode! I don’t want to add any moreeeee to my List of Arashi Shows/Dramas/News I Missed While I Was Busy Sitting For My Exams and Can Hardly Catch Up Because I’m Now Busy Working Euuuurgh, which includes Maou and Ryusei no Kizuna.

I’m seriously ridiculously excited to watch Ohno in this drama. As in – Ohchan in a comedy drama! Aren’t we all excited? :D

[ taken from Uta no Oniisan LJ Comm because I'm too lazy to edit any pictures XD ]

Day 12, 13 (kyaaaah~), 14 and 15 of Sakurai Month!

Why do I love Sho-chan to absolute death?

REASON #10

Because you have such beautiful hands worthy of a pianist ♥

REASON #11

Because you are always wearing your sexy little red undies, the Sakuraiba undies which you and Aiba wore in a Mago Mago Arashi episode… and guess what?! I have the exact same pair of red undies! ♥

REASON #12

Because you are ridiculously and unashamedly embarrassing at times on NATIONAL TELEVISION, but it’s so hilarious and endearing that I just love you for being a dork~ ♥

REASON #13

Because you are the perfect definition of FAILUUUUUURE at drawing anything relative to… well, drawing. Like the supposed panda that appears to be an almost-featherless bird… oh, you failure. ♥

Happy Birthday… to me! XD

Minna-chaaaaaaaan~

I turned 18 years old 2 days ago!

TASHII IS NOW A LEGAL ADULT.

w0000000000000000t~

As beloved Aki-chan put it bluntly and rather nonchalantly, IT’S NO LONGER ILLEGAL FOR ME TO ENJOY SHOSEXXXXXX!!!!!!
(not like underage restriction has ever stopped me from raping Sho-chan in my ridiculous fangirl imagination XDDDDDDDD)

I enjoyed my one day of absolute happiness by working. LOL! XD I got loads of birthday messages from my school friends whom I haven’t seen since we graduated last November, and I received many purezento from my colleagues – including a enormous stuffed monkey doll from two girls (which made me cry because I was so touched… baka Tashii >_<), a MAXIMUM OISHII piece of designer cheesecake from a senior colleague and her boyfriend (they’re awfully cute together), a pink turtle keychain (don’t ask), and a Garfield keychain which flails like the Onion-kun icons above when you pull a string (my best friend thinks it should come with a fangirl screaming voice THEN its like a mini me around Arashi LOOOOL XD).

I applied for a Visa Debit-cum-ATM card as a purezento for myself! XDDDDDD You have noooooooooo idea how excited I was to receive my card (I was practically blabbering to the bank clerk behind the desk about how I turned 18 and have been wanting an ATM card for aaaaaaages… she must have thought I was absolutely nuts), and I withdrew cash from my account for the first time! I’D CHRISTENED MYSELF AN ADULT! HOORAH! XDDDDDDDDDD

Aaaaaaand…

I DYED MY HAIR!

Courtesy of my parents more like they paid… XD and I absolutely adoooooooooore it ♥ Initially I wanted just a haircut, but my mom suggested I dyed and highlighted my hair, as I always wanted to (…I failed to mention I always wanted pink highlights… *whistles*). My siblings got the shock of their lives when I came home XDDDDDDDDD At first I was kinda doubtful about dyeing my hair – the hairdresser suggested that I should dye my whole head of beloved sleek black hair brown and get light blonde highlights to achieve a Japanese hairstyle (my mom fed her the idea that I’m obsessed with everything Japanese… which I do not deny… XDDDDDD). After the painstaking 3-hour process, I studied the result in the mirror and I immediately went, “OHSHIT I LOOK LIKE AN ILLEGAL DVD PEDDLER.” in my head, loooooooooool. But the more I stared at myself, the more I love the hair (y’know the way you keep touching your finger and looking in the mirror after a haircut?) <3

And when I came home I realised that my hair is (almost) in the same shade of colour as Sho-chan’s a few years ago!

IT’S FAAAAAAAAAAAATE~

I’d like to thank everyone who wished me happy birthday (I’m really touched… I never believed that anyone would remember crazy inconscpicious little Tashii’s tanjoubi… XDDDD). Seriously, you guys are the best! Where would I be without you lovely Arashi fangirls out there to share all the love & rainbows & candies with~ ♥

Also:
1 - YAYYYYYYY TO Maiba-neechan for finally receiving my package filled with Arashi/Aiba rabuuuu! Those sekushii photos have traveled a long way from Malaysia to your lil’ Canadian doorstep to Arashify your house XD Again, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY~!
2 – Didn’t have the chance to say ARIGATOUUUUUUUUU Vero-chan for the Christmas card and the kawaiiiiiiiii Sho-chan piccie! ♥

New ABLE CM

Just saw it today XD

I think this is the 3rd version of Able CM featuring Sho… and the whole point (read: WHOLE XDDDD) of the CM is Sho-chan’s kawaiiiiii smile at the end that just melts your heart~ ♥

Day 8, 9, 10, and 11 of Sakurai Month

Gosh, why do I absolutely love you no matter how embarrassing you can get, Sho-chan?

REASON #6

You’re smart, you’re intelligent, you went to university and graduated with a degree, despite all the odds and the heat of being an idol, because you want to make your parents/family proud ♥

-

REASON #7

Because you play the piano, and you have noooo idea how much of a sucker I am for pianist guys (I prefer pianists over guitarists anyday!). And despite playing a simple song – like the Blue performance in the video below -  you play it and sing to it with all your heart that it just melts any poor girl’s heart ♥

-

REASON #8

Despite being the most ‘manly’ of Arashi, it’s so evident you’re the most gentle and caring towards children. It’s so obvious, from the soft expression and the sincere smile of joy you have around kids, that you just love children. Heck, you even played the drama role of a kindergarten teacher! You’ll make such a great daddy T_T

In fact, you even do great babysitting our beloved Riida…

-

REASON #9

You do NOT tell a girl to click your heart when you’re proposing to her…
but yet because you’re so unbelievably baka&kawaii that anyone would say yes no matter how embarrassing you are~ ♥

Japanese Engrish vs. Portuguese Engrish… and +act 2009 issue. *cue nosebleeding*

Remember the NEWS ZERO particularly on the 22nd Dec when Sho-chan interviewed Cristiano Ronaldo… and I was absolutely taken aback by the teeny weeny fact that my hubby met my ex? XDDDDDDD

FINALLY FOUND THE VIDEO!

Watch the video [ HERE ]~!

“Cristiano, just one more question, please, ” Sho asks.

…and he proceeds to ask the question in Japanese XDDDDD But his English sounds almost fluent! In the sense that he has improved from the last time (read: the Beijing Olympics back in August), seems like he’s working really hard neeee~ ♥ And it’s so kawaii how he murmured, “Yatta yo!” and clutched his chest. Poor thing was sooo nervous.

As for the cocky, annoyed glare Crissy gave when Sho approached him… c’mon, guys, be reasonable. He had to do endless interviews throughout the ENTIRE stretch of journalists before reaching Sho. He was probably tired and naturally was pissed off when another journalist wanted another interview with him. Don’t bash him just because he glared at Sho, but yes you may bash him for being an all-round cocky narcissist XD

Thank you Tanya for the link~

ALSO.

I bet everyone has seen the +act magazine scans of half-nekkid Sho?

I didn’t know about the magazine scans till Lynn-chan posted the link. It was last Saturday morning and I was all groggy having just woken up when I clicked the link and saw the scans… and literally, my eyes widened and my jaw dropped, and I went, “Oh… my… gaaaawd.” ESPECIALLY THE PICCIE OF SHO HALF-NAKED AND UNBUCKLING HIS BELT. LDKSGN489TDHKGNSDKLHNSFH ♥♥♥ That was when I spurted an impossibly amount of nosebleeding and died happily and went to heaven~

And then I came back to life and immediately called up Kinokuniya and ordered a copy of the magazine XDDDDDD The phone rang for a full minute before someone picked up, you’d think they were trying to ignore me (a madwoman with a hoarse voice due to a sore throat who calls the bookstore at 8am), and they said they might order a shipment so they will contact me within 2 weeks to a month. I don’t careeee I just wanna get my hands on my own copy of shosexxxxxx!

If there’s no Kinokuniya outlet around your area… you can order it online HERE at Amazon Japan!

The magazine scans page is now gone… Anyone happened to have saved those scans?

Day 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Sakurai Month XD

To make up for the lack of any celebratory Month of Mr Keio Boy pictures (or any post updates, for that matter) for Day 4, Day 5 and Day 6… I’m compiling them all into one post with Day 7’s piccie contribution. You’re in luck! Because all these piccies are going to make you positively hot, sweat and bothered over all the Sakurai smexiness. This is where I leave a virtual tissue box with a bottomless pit right beside this post XDDDDDDDDD

Now, WHY DOES TASHII GOES ABSOLUTELY CRAZY OVER SHO-CHAN?

REASON #2

His MUSCLES. Oh my gawd. Is there more to say?!?!?!

-

REASON #3

The sight of him… lying pliant but expectant ON THE BED… makes Tashii want to ravish him. Now. Like, RIGHT NOW.

-

REASON #4

two words.

SEXY.
BACK.

Screw Justin, SHO brought sexy back with his, erm, sexy back.
XDDDDDDDDD

-

REASON #5

He’s got muscled abs worthy of fangirl-rape… don’t you think?

seriously, if you did not:
1) nosebleed to death;
2) drown in a puddle of your drool;
3) squealsquealsqueal; or basically,
4) feel the temptation to rape these pictures;
you’re positively lacking in the raging female hormones department. XD

(I know I’m cheating by posting 2 pictures for Day 7~ And I have a feeling my daily List of Reasons  is starting to sound… awfully shallow and hentai XDDDDDD I swear I’ll go on a more serious note. Starting tomorrow *nods happily*)

January is SAKURAI MONTH (and mine too~)

It’s purely fated that my hubby and I are both January babies! <333333

I’m like 2 days late in officiating Sakurai Month on this blog because internet was down (*throws a string of colourful words at Streamyx*) and I was busy with work (I’m working the 12:30pm to 10pm shift today… ON A SATURDAY T_T). Demo daijoubu! It’ll be 22 days of 22 Sho-chan piccies and 22 Reasons Why I Absolutely Go Crazy Over Sakurai Sho XD

So finallyyyy
VanillaCherryIce formally and officially launches 25 days of Sakurai loveeeee~!

As for Day 3 it’s…

REASON #1
TASHII GOES ABSOLUTELY CRAZY OVER SHO-CHAN’S SEKUSHII CHIKUBI
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
(i’m serious here. XDDDDDD)
