Nothing better than a TOKIO song to get my spirits up.... I'm a bit depressed because some bad things happened two days ago, and I'm still quite angry and disappointed...

Anyway, Happy Easter to everyone, even though it's already come and gone.. XDD I spent the day with my family at Uncle's house, and I played the whole afternoon with my cousin with the Wii!!! *___* It's so cool that consolle!!!

I'm so freaking addicted to it, that last Friday I went with Moni and Gaia to Hachiko's house to play with it, and I begged my cousin to lend me her Wii this week since she's in Barcelona for her school trip!! XDD I found out I'm quite good at golf and tennis (now that I learned the tricks ^_-), but I'm and ace at bowling!! Yesterday I did 2 stikes running!! XDD

Thank goodness for the boxe game, because it helped a lot to relieve yesterday's stress, when I found out that the Italian Post lost me two of the books I ordered on Amzon!!! I can't believe that they could get lost items wrapped in parcel...

But the thing that really pissed me off was that the first time I went to the post office to ask for an explanation, I was told "oh, we remember this package, this morning it seemed fuller and heavier" = meaning that that morning all 3 books were inside the parcel. And yet, the second time I went there they told me "oh no, it's not possible that we lost the books here, they must have gotten lost at the post centre in Milan" ムカつく Part 1...

And whem my Mum pointed out that "it's absurd that people'd steal some books in English" the woman said "but there are people who read books in English" ... Yeah, but I'd really like to know who this arse is, because those were books on Japanese Politics, for which I spent nearly 70 euros and I need them for university!!! I don't know how many people in a 3000-habitants town besides me are interested in Japanese Politics.... >____< 超むかつく！！

They really tried to make fools out of my Mum and me, and this is the thing I really can't accept: the Post is a public service, paid with our taxes, and I pretend that people to their job seriously and treat the clients as they should be treated...

The only consolation is that when I wrote to Amazon to ask whether I could get a refund or anything, they replied within not even 2 hours, and they told me they'd ship another copy of the 2 books, with no expenses at all... *__* I love Amazon, because it isn't absolutely their fault, and yet they're willing to deliver me for free the lost items, so I can keep shopping with them.. This is what I call doing serious business!!!

Now I just hope that the new delivery will get safely...

..... and also the DVD I ordered on Amazon.de!! I bought "Godzilla Final Wars" the German edition!! XDDD I found the movie on internet, because Matsuoka stars in it, and buying the DVD on CDJapan costs nearly 30 euros... and then I find the German Limited edition for just 10 euros!!! XDDD I just couldn't not buy it!!! XDD It must be the trashiest movie in all history, it's in Japanese and German with no English subs at all, but I want to see it!!! XDD

Talking about Matsuoka there were really wonderful news about TOKIO recently: at their first show at Nippon Budokan on March 8th, Yamaguchi announced that he got married with his long-time girlfriend, and they're already expecting a baby!!!! *_____________* おめでとう～～～～～～！！！

And then two days later in an interview, Mabo reveals that he's living together with his girlfriend of 5 years... おめでとう！！(though I have to admit that I was a bit shocked at this, since Mabo is my ichiban... XDD)

I'm really happy for them, even if I know them only by name, because they're human beings (even if a lot more fortunate than us, because they're living their dream, which is something that many people can't achieve), and they deserve all the happiness!!! ^^

Now I have to get down and get some serious studying done since the exams are getting nearer and I really want to do well, especially in International Relations and Japanese Culture: we're talking about international relations btwn Japan and other countries, especially US, so I MUST get the maximum score!! I mean, it's the same topic as my thesis, this is my field, the one I want to specialize in to, and the job I'd like to do when I'm out of uni, so I can't help but do my best!! 頑張ろう樹利亜！！！

I miss my friends though: Fede and Alice are busy with work, Moni and Valeria with their thesis and they're not attending the graduate courses, so I can't meet them often; thank goodness I can regularly see Valentina and Gaia, and Laura, otherwise I'd go crazy!!! I just can't wait for some free-time weekend to meet with everyone at someone's home (mine is always free!! ^__-) and spend some good time altogether.... I miss you guys!!!

今お腹がすいてるから、食べに行きま～す！！XDDD

またね！！！

It's about a week that every time I come back to school I find something in the mail... last Friday were the results of the Noryoku Shiken: 366/400!!! YATTA!! I did 95/100 in kanjis, 91/100 in the listening comprehension and 180/200 in the grammar part!!! ^____________^ Chou ureshii!!

And yesterday when I got back home my Mum told me "today the postman brought a package for you" and I went "KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" My TOKIO's "sugar" album finally arrived!!!

I ordered the limited edition B, and the DVD is really wonderful!! I was really touched by all the efforts they put in the recording, you can clearly see how they care about making a prefect song....

Japan not-related things are the dinner I had last Friday with all the ex classmates (it went pretty well, but nothing special -___-) and the graduation party at Valentina's place!! Sugoku tanoshikatta!!!
And the pizzas Vale's Dad prepared for us were one of the best pizza I ever ate!!!! *______________*

And this Saturday we're going out and eat Japanese for Valeria's birthday&Womens' Day!!! ^____________^

But before I have to finish the presentation for Japanese Culture class, about..... yes, the relationship between Japan and US = the same things I put in my my graduation paper.. LUCKY!!! XDDD

久々だね！Well, I'm still with no internet connection at home and when I'm in uni I forget to check Vox... ^^"""

Anyway, many things happened in this month, some good and some bad...

Good news are tha Hachi graduated two days ago!!! 卒業おめでとう Vale!!! I'm really really happy for you!! And now it's party time!!! XDDDDD Now we'll wait until April and july for Moni, Valeria, Dani and Gaia's graduation!! ^^

Other good things are that tomorrow there'll be a 同窓会 with all my elementary classmates... I'll skip the happy hour because I'm coming back late from university, but I think it'll be at least interesting, to hear what the others are up to in their lives...

CDJapan has shipped my "Sugar" album!!! I can't wait to have it!!!! XDDDD What I don't want to get are the results of the Nouryoku shiken (JPLT, 3 級)... めっちゃ怖いな～～！！

Bad things instead are REALLY bad things... last Friday night my brother had a car accident... He was driving at night when a wild boar crossed the street, and he went off road to avoid hitting it.... I'm still thanking  God, Allah, Buddha and all the saints in heaven known to men, animals and aliens, because he hadn't even a single scratch, and seen that he fell down a small cliff, and the back of the car is completely destroyed, I think it's really a miracle!!!!

Now I just hope he'll be more careful when driving, cause I think if he were driveing a bit slower he wouldn't have gone off road... anyway now he'll have to pinch every penny to repair his car...

Let's hope everything'll be going well....

Ja ne!!

Le novità non sono molte a dire il vero...
Sabato sono andata a Milano a fare un giro con le altre, e ne sono molto felice, perchè era una vita che non le vedevo!!!
Per di più essendo senza ADSL, non potevo nemmeno sentirle molto per mail e forum, per cui le loro facce non si sono nemmeno trasformate negli avatar, no! me le ero quasi dimenticate!!! XDDD

Domenica invece ho dovuto fare una cosa che non avrei mai voluto fare: ho dovuto formattare Toshi!!! ç______ç
In realtà il portatile ne aveva bisogno, perchè era un caos unico di file, downloads bloccati, spam ecc solo che è stata una palla dover ri-impostare tutto!!!
Per di più facendo il formattone, ho perso Windows Media Player 11, Explorer 7 (che adoravo!!) e Real Player... per di più non posso nemmeno usare il Messenger perchè la versione vecchia non me la fa funzionare, e per scaricare quella nuova ci sta mettendo una vita senza ADSL!!! ç_______ç

Cmq tengo duro, spero di poter attivare presto Alice, e sistemare bene Toshi-kun...

Le news positive sono due invece: ieri ho comprato il cellulare nuovo!!! ^^ Il mio ormai è in lenta agonia da qualche mese, la batteria non tiene più e ultimamente non mi arrivano più nemmeno gli sms... Per cui ho approfittato dell'offerta dell'Ipercoop XDD e ho preso il Nokia 5200, che ha anche il lettore MP3, così posso rimettere le canzoni dei Tokio e degli Arashi come suonerie... XDD Per di più ho preso anche la MicroSD così ho ben 1Gb di spazio!!^^
Adesso devo solo aspettare che la TIM mi passi il mio numero vecchio....

L'altr news fantastica è fresca di giornata: E' ARRIVATO IL PACCO DI TETSUYA!!! ^____________________^
Dentro c'erano il calendario della Honda 2008 ^__________^, l'asciugamano e il porta cellulare della Kawasaki per mio fratello e una scatola piena di udon da cucinare!!! *__________________*
Per di più nella lettera allegata mi ha ringraziato dei cioccolatini e del torrone, per cui sono arrivati!!! Non si sono dispersi in Siberia!!! E' la mail di ringraziamento che invece non mi è mai arrivata, -____- ma fa nulla...

Vado a fare qualcosa di utile nella vita, ovvero ri-vedermi "Ai confini del mondo" (rigorosamente masterizzato XD) perchè ieri ho capito un po' poco di quel film... XDD

Ja ne!!

27 dell'esame di antropologia!!!!

Sono stra contenta perchè io quella materia non la sopporto.... a me piace la politica internazionale e di difesa, cosa vuoi che me ne freghi deli modelli culturali dei Bororo del Mato Grosso???

Per cui sono ancora più contenta che l'esame sia andato così bene... oddio, potevo forse prendere qualcosa di più se non mi impappinavo sulla prima domanda sul matrimonio, ma sono due settimane che studio le stesse cose, ho la febbre (aspetto solo di arrivare a casa per sapere quanta), per cui sono CHOU U-RE-SHI!!!!

Adesso sto sfruttando un po' la connessione internet super figa dell'uni per scaricare gli ultimi video uppati in questi giorni (per le cose più vecchie ci sono le fantatsiche Valeria e Moni, grazie mille!!! .... anche se mi sono dimenticata di chiedervi di masterizzarmi il Countdown, pazienza...); e dopo quando ho finito passo alle Messaggerie perchè il mio portamine, dopo 4 anni di fedele servizio, si è rotto, per cui lo ricompro uguale identico, e alle Messaggerie c'è...

Mi spiace di non poter scrivere in inglese, ma siccome non sto bene è già tanto se riesco a scrivere qualcosa di sensato in italiano...

Sul fronte arashico ci sono un sacco di novità, ma le sapete tutti meglio di me, per cui non dico nulla!!! XDD

Ja ne!!

AGAIN!!! I just bought "Sugar" the new Tokio's album...

I really didn't want to buy it, because it's only 7 seven songs, 5 of wich the latest singles -___-; but when I learned that in the special edition B there was a special footage of the 2006 GIGS with all the memebrs switchin instruments, I didn't resist!!! XDDDD

Now I still have time until CDJapan delivers it, maybe I can buy the Round III too.... ^_______^

About me: I'm studying like crazy!!! But I still feel I don't know anything about that subject... ç____ç And the exam is next week!!! ç___ç

Yesterday was Gussan's, ans today is Mabo's BIRTHDAY!!!

Mabo

Can you believe that this guy is already 31???

And THIS one already 36???!!!

Gussan

Anyway, happy birthday guys!!

Dunno why, but I have the feeling that they celebrated altogether with the other members, drinking and singing like bakas at karaoke.. I just hope they sang their own "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"!! XDD 

About myself: I haven't got an ADSL connection anymore (for the time being) so updates will be fewer.. But I'll be back don't worry!!! Ahahahahah!!

I wrote a wonderful post a couple of days ago but Vox didn't upload it!! ç__________ç

Anyway, even if I'm late, Happy New Year!! I hope 2008 will bring you, and me XD, many good things, especially in the name and skinny-but-handsome form of Arashi! ^^ And I won't object to some TOKIO goodies too... XDD

I have nothing in particular to say, just that I made a few "good intentions" for 2008 and I've already broken 'em.. kind of a record, isn't it?? XDD Main focus of this year should be studying and get very good grades... pity the first 2 exams are the most boring subjects I had to take... -________- Ganbare Giulia!!

Family's good, Aniki just started today his new job and he seems quite enthusiastic about it.. happy for him!!

My friends are the greatest in the world, and I can't wait to see them again on regular basis... I love holidays cause I don't have to get up early, but I miss meeting them!! Some of them have their hands full with their own thesis (ganbatte girls!! I now you can do it!! If I managed, you'll do a great job!!), others with work and love life, others with college and exams... I wish for them that everything'll go well!!

Now, on to the serious things... XDDD When my internet connection still worked quite well I managed to download a few doramas featuring TOKIO: YAOH and Psychometrer Eiji with Mabo, Juken no Kamisama with Gussan, and the SP dorama Hissatsu Shigotonin 2007 this too with Mabo, Higashiyama senpai and K8's Ohkura Tadayoshi... This one I think is really good: no way I could not like Mabo dressed up as a Japanese Jack Sparrow!!! XDDDD

Hissatsu Shigotonin 2007

(I wanted to put another picture, but Vox doesn't let me... DOH!! >___<) Demo, he's still kakkoii, deshou? ^^

This pic has become my new wall!! XDD

Anyway, this next season I think I won't be watching any doramas... it's really sad but there's nothing that strikes me as good... besides HachiKuro, but since I'm in love with the movie, I fear that the dorama won't live up to my expectations... (even if there are Touma and Nari-kun) Also this next season there's no Arashi nor Tokio dorama!! XDD

Sore ja, I think I'll try to study a bit now, even if I'm seriously worried about the latest announce Nino made at Baystorm: this new project, a thing that never happened before in JE, WHAT THE HELL IS GONNA BE????

Hayaku ie yo!! >___< I hate that evil little midget... XDD

やった～～～～～～～～～～～～～～！！！

As of December, 20th I am finally a graduate student!!!

And I'm so happy because I even got more than I thought!! The normal maximum score for the final paper is 6 points, but I got 7 points, because my Professor really liked my job and asked the commission for the whole 6 points, plus 1 point more as a special score... *____________*

Therefore I graduated with 105/110, which is not exactly good, but is high enough to apply for the internships at the Foreing Affairs Ministry...

Now I have to send a thank-you letter to my Professor, because I really didn't think my work was that good...　本当にありがとうございました！お世話になりました！

Anyway, I wasn't the only one to graduate in this session: Alice on Monday got 110 while Flavia 106; Laura and Laura ^^ on Tuesday with 109 and 107 rispectively, and on Thursday Diego (106), Fausto (110 lode) and Fede (110), and I...

みんな、卒業おめでとう！！！

As a present from our coursemates we all got the traditional cap... in a slightly updated version... shocking pink and purple and red and black&blue Inter FC!!! XDDD (sorry I can't post the pictures, but Vox is being and arse >__<)

I have to say that Thursday moring I was more worried about not getting in Milan on time than about the graduation itself.. XDD Well, we DID actually got a bit lost at one point, but after asking for direction we got to the uni with haours to spare!! XDD We were a lot of people, because even my aunt&uncle, little cousin and her friend wanted to come... My brother didn't come, cause he's stupid >__<, but it was a really great day!!

Now starts the Christmas tour-de-force: all the family will gather at my house this year, and we'll have to cook for about 20 people... O______O After that, back again on the books because exams are right around the corner...

よし、頑張ろう！！And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!!

May the new year bring you many happiness, good things, and many Arashi & TOKIO !!! XDD
