In 2 days parcel arrived to Poland, then got stuck here for a week!! $#%#@%&....
And after all, I had to pay more than expected. I thought they will take customs from a value of DVD only. But last night my friend told me, cutoms are also taken from shipping cost! Why?!! I checked the invoice and saw she was right. In the end, when delivery arrived, I had to pay $19 of customs (x_x)
So in total, I payed for this DVD $90. YesAsia is selling it for $79.99 (free shipping)... nevermind. Oh by the way, I just checked for price and see they re-stocked Limited Edition!! Grab it! :D

NEWS Concert Tour pacific 2007 2008 -The First Tokyo Dome Concert- (First Press Limited Edition)(Japan Version)

They also have soudtrack from Code Blue in Pre-Order :D
TV Drama "Code Blue Doctor Heli Kinkyu Kyumei" Original Soundtrack (Japan Version)

Too bad I can't scan booklet, it's too fragile (T_T) I'm afraid to destroy it. But here's are pics of the LE (^^)





Concert itself is AWSOME!! There's so many dorky moments with Pi, I feel like making a fanvid out of them *laughs* Or Shige raping Tegoshi! Love it!! *laughs!*
What I like more from previous DVD, are solo songs. Few of them are performed with other members around. Like Kiss Kaerimichi no Love Song. Tegomassu is singing when others are sitting just watching are fooling around. Feels like, even through it's Tegomassu it is NEWS as well (^^)

I thought I should upload something, and choosed not so new video, but it very good quality 1440 x 810px. Usukushisugite Beautiful Eyes from Shounen Club 2008.03.11
It's quite big and I won't make it in time before work to upload it on other server, so at the moment MU only.

Mediafire [.001] [.002] [.003]
[Sendspace]
[Megaupload]

Soon I think I'll be able to carry on with uploading. Recetly I got new hard drive just for my NEWS/J-pop files (^^) Space on my notebook was constantly shrinking, and I had to search for videos thought all these CDs, so I though hard drive will be better idea (^^) This one have 500GB! (*__*) But I think it's still too small for dramas XD
I still didn't finish putting there all the files from CDs, and later have to rename them and segregate...
But it's cute! Here's a pic :)



Talking about dramas, recently I felt like watching something online and I found Pride with Kimura Takuya on aznv.tv. I finished it off in 2 days!! I LOVE IT!! KimuTaku is so HOT there, and so good in acting! I totally understand why he's No.1 in Japan!~ Theme is awsome and have nice adult humour as well. I highly recommend it (^^)



about Pride in DramaWiki

OK, I think that's all I had in mind recently lol~

When ordering from Japan

Just a little adventure that in the end made my day XD

Till now 90% of my orders were going through YesAsia and I was (still am) happy about it. I have to wait for parcel over a week sometimes, but because they write "gift" on envelop and don't give prices on invoices I was never worried about customs fees. But I was too late and NEWS LE DVD was sold out on YesAsia. So I had to get it from amazon.jp (my first shopping there, before I was using HMV).
I was so shocked when I heard they send out my parcel on 11th August, and it will arrive around 13th!! On the day of official release in Japan!! (*__*) But in all this happiness I forgot about very important thing... And a phone call woke me up this morning: "We're expecting a parcel coming to you and because value is over €22, due to procedures you'll have to pay customs: 22% tax + 3% *something*." That's another $10!! (X_____X);;; Nice wake up...
Worst matter. When someone says "customs", the main thing coming to my mind is my friend who had to wait 2 weeks for all the receiving/sending documents with customs office when she did order on cd-japan. I was so mad!!
All the time I though that the lady calling and asking for my e-mail was from customs office (I didn't hear clearly when she was introducing herself ^^;;). But about an hour later I received email from FedEx! And this seriously made my day!! They asked me to fill 2 forms for customs and send it back by email. Which means: THEY will take care for everything! And my parcel will be on time anyway!
All these information means a lot to me, because I'm thinking of opening in Poland internet shop selling j-goods. As far as I know, there's none at the moment. And working in the field I love was my dream for years already (^^)
I know how to start, because a girl from my work just opened own internet shop as well. But I was always worried about all the procedures with customs when ordering goods from Japan. Now I know FedEx can save me with this matter~ Somehow I feel huge relief and as if my dream is becoming more realistic *laughs*

OK, next toPic (^^)
I did it!! I watched Code Blue! Yay! *laughs* Finally I'm going back to normal self (^^) I decided to see it finally thanks to watchful ♥ After I saw on her journal a screencap of crying Yamapi. Poor Aizawa~ His last family member don't recognize him, that just must hurts! (T_T)
One thing since first episode didn't change: awesome music! I think I'll get a soundtrack from this drama. I just love every single track (*O*) And also watching every bloody scene with hands covering my mouth. On the giving birth in ambulance I thought I'll pass out ... I'll never have babies (X_X);;;;

Just a note about my latest subbing. I did with watchful making of Summer Time pv, it was too cute to resist (^^)



Download it from [info]pikorabo

That's it for now, have to get ready for work~

Proposal Daisakusen SP DVD

Finally got it!! (*O*) My first drama DVD. It's sooooo~ cute!! I love the cover and inside and everything *laughs* I'm so glad I bought it~! It have this sweet aura around it. It's totally charming!!

It has 2 CDs: one with drama and one with special clips like makings, interviews and cutted scenes.








I'm sure a lot of you have seen clips from it already, but I just had to put caps from my favourite scene in making @ Hawaii, when Pi is changing (*___*)



And 3rd item it's booklet with pics from drama~
Forgive quality, but it was printed on such kind of paper.



I'm bad with long posts recently, sorry~
Honestly I didn't saw Code Blue yet x_x (except for 1st espisode) I don't think I like it... I'm not really into this kind of stuff... I know I'll have to see it for the sake of Pi, but really don't feel like doing it XP
