Like We Were In College Together

[REMINDER: THIS IS A DREAM AND NOT REAL!]

College dorm ... A JOHNNYS ONLY UPLB style college dorm (with wooden floors and really narrow hallways).

I was in a middle of an argument with Sho-kun & Matsuoka-senpai (yes Matsu-nii!) about when does an idol group's fanbase really start to decline. Other members were there listening or getting bored. 

As I was finishing my statement, a junior came in bringing a new Battleship PC game. Excited, everyone left me, Matsu-nii, Oh-chan and Sho to our little debate. Yup, they left the old people behind. After Matsu-nii finished his response to my statement, which ended the debate, Sho got up to head for the their room. He was shirtless, and I noticed he looked like his 18 year-old-self. Curious about the PC game, I decided to head to the room too. I placed my hands on his shoulders (surprisingly not as sloping as the older Sho) and let him lead the way. Oh-chan followed closely.

We watched the three younger members play the game with their PCs and laptops, each one playing against a junior. Oh-chan lit a cigarette behind us, disinterested by the game. 

Then Matsu-nii yelled, "Aids' favorite is here!" It meant a professor was at the door. 

Arashi's room was too crowded already, but Sho-kun insisted to hide in there. Oh-chan then pulled me into the room next door. He sat behind the door so no one could get in. It was just the two of us in there. He offered me a smoke even though he knew I already quit. I thought I could do one stick, that it should be fine. So he handed me his smoke case, it was an old Gatsby (pink) Spiky Edge Moving Rubber. Inside were half-burnt weed instead of ordinary cigarettes. 

I didn't know how to react to it. Probably why I woke up. 

A CM Shoot in SEA

This was a dream that occured a couple of weeks ago. So most of the details have degraded because I was too lazy to keep my writing table clear enough for me to work on.

I remember having to go to Malaysia (or was it Indonesia) for a commercial shoot. That commercial shoot had Ninomiya Kazunari and Sakurai Sho as its main celebrity endorser.  

I remember begging and bribing a man with US$1500 just to get me in the project, this on top of the money I had to spend on the trip. Chelli did the same, but she got it cheaper since she came from the Philippines and I came from California.

I remember riding a boat around the river as we went sight-seeing, waiting for the man and waiting for our assignments in that commercial shoot.

I remember watching the chaos of the production in the shadows, and hearing people call me AD (Assistant Director) as they prep the actors.

I remember seeing Chelli pull Sho-kun inside a bedroom (doors open), and making him practice the choreography for the shoot in front of a large dresser mirror. I watched Chelli giggle and laugh, flirting to the max. She was taking advantage of the fact that Sho was flirting back.

I remember Chelli teaching one thing and Sho doing another. Chelli said he should raise his arms out in front of him, but Sho stepped behind her and raised it forward from behind her. They started dancing, not so much of the choreography. Chelli said he should put his ass out like how she's doing it, and Sho started dry-humping the girl.

I remember Nino coming out of his green room in a suit. He was embarrased by what was happening over at Sho's corner, and he started apologizing in the man's behalf, as Sho and Chelli continued dry-humping.

I remember one of the wardrobe people calling out "AD-san!" and I came out of the shadows to answer the call.

I remember Nino's face, vividly, at that moment he saw me, AD-san. His mouth agape and his eyes fixed on me. He was gawking. I found it highly amusing, since I was supposed to be gawking at him. But I had to play it cool, because, in all technicality, I wasn't supposed to be there at all. Especially not as AD.

I remember Nino started fumbling with his words and slightly stutter as he continually apologized for Sho-kun in embarassment.

Then, I woke up. And all that I could think of was that stunt that Chelli pulled with Sho-kun in my dream.

I remember, there wasn't any dancing in the commercial script at all.

Interviewing Arashi

I was accompanying an older woman, and she brought me to a studio of sorts. There, we waited at a circular table for the people she's meeting.

Then Aiba Masaki came out, followed by Sakurai Sho. When Aiba the woman, he crossed his arms and stopped right before her, she was standing up by now. They talked in Japanese, and I could barely get what they were saying to each other. It was heated up that I'm sure of, and Aiba was getting angry as the woman continued pleading. From what I summise, the woman had interviewed Aiba before and offended him by what she wrote in the end.

A staff interrupted, and with his paper, confirmed instructions with the two idols. The two guys used this opportunity to ignore the pleading woman.

Seeing as it is my only chance, I poked Sho on his muscular eyes as widarms, twice, to get his attention. He turned to me with wide questoning eyes. I thought that the only way for him to grant me this interview is to talk to him in my most perfect American english, accent and all.  

I told him without falter, "Hi! I'm here to interview you for a Japanese-American newsprint in San Francisco. If it's alright with you?" Of course, I really wasn't, but continued to introduce myself, "Hajimemashita, Dekya [surname] desu. Oh, but, it should be [surname] Dekya, isn't it?" putting some American infliction in the accent.

Taken by surprise, he nodded. I handed him documents of my credentials and he sat down looking at them. I continued building myself up, "I am also correspondent for newssites in North America, South America in Chile, France, Spain ..." he just kept on nodding, "oh, and of course some countries in South East Asia as I am from there." I seem to be enumerating places I want to go to. 

As I wasn't even there to interview him, wasn't even aware that I was gonna see him, my notebook was devoid of questions. He grabbed it from me to see which questions aren't allowed and not. He looked at me full of doubt again, so I said quickly, "My interview style is more conversational than sticking to a set of questions. I come up with questions from the answers you give."

Oddly enough, he was satisfied with the excuse. Aiba was still behind him, ignoring the other woman. I took out my mobile phone which I use to record reports.

As I settled to start the interview, Ohmiya, arms wrapped around each other, came skipping in, followed by, I pressumed, their manager. Ninomiya Kazunari looked at me, Ohno Satoshi continued being oblivious. Nino lead Ohno to our table and stood right beside me, moving Ohno to his right side. Nino's hips touching my arms, and I thought he was doing it deliberately.

They started talking in Japanese, but this time I understood.

NINO: What is this (grabbing my documented credentials)

SHO: Interview for an American tabloid.

ME: Would you mind if I interview you as well?

NINO: Ok, 15 seconds.

ME: That's not even enough for a quickie. (all my seduction tendrills in full force)

NINO: (looks at me, still holding my credentials but with eyes flirting forcefully back) 15minutes.

SHO: (to me) Do you have time tomorrow?

ME: I was hoping I could finish this today so I might beat my deadline.

SHO: I trust that you can do it.

ME: My deadline's on Wednesday, I have little time left.

Sho looked at Nino who was still staring at me, and back at me. With that, we understood each other and I said, "I can do what interview we can have right now and return tomorrow for more."

~oOo~

Sadly, I woke up here and didn't get to find out how it went the following day. 

I don't need to analyse this do I?  And no, I don't know where MatsuJun was. And I didn't notice what happened to Ohno and Aiba once the exchange between Nino, Sho and I started. By the way, Sho and Aiba were wearing the pink AAA 2008 costume, while Nino and Ohno were in sweatpants.

2PM Date

Chicken Isaw

As yesterday was the day that Wild at Heart PV came out, of course, I'd dream of them.  No Ohno Satoshi, though.  Only the younger four.


In this dream, Nino was as usual, my boyfriend. A strict kind of boyfriend. Restricts me from eating junk food. But, in the end he let me eat it anyway. Let me feed him, too. By the way, we were eating Isaw.  And we were in the Philippines speaking in Tagalog.

It was actually Aiba's idea. He heard the bell that the street vendor rang, he ran out of the house where we all were just hanging out, while I was contemplating on taking a bath, and called the street vendor's attention. He was jumping repeatedly waving at the vendor.

Pork Isaw

I ran after Aiba, equally excited over the prospect of eating Isaw. Nino, MatsuJun and Sho ran after me. Nino keeps on pulling me away from the vendor. But, I begged and pleaded with puppy dog eyes. Eventually he let me have a pork isaw (In real life, I don't eat pork isaw, just chicken). Beside me, Aiba was happily pigging out on a chicken isaw.


After eating on isaw and Philippine street style barbecue, the four of them told me they have to leave and that they'll all see me at 2pm for Myna's birthday party. 


I looked at the clock and it was only 12pm, I can still go to a geek meet up and get back home to get ready for 2pm.


So I went to the meet up, had coffee with the girls. At 1pm, I said my goodbyes to the geek girls; started my way home, hoping that I could get a cab immediately. But, a slight drizzle kept the traffic heavy, and I had to walk all the way to the corner of EDSA. I couldn't find a cab even in EDSA. 


Murphy's Law. Just when I was in a hurry to get back and be pretty for Nino.


I woke up and went back to sleep. In the next set of dreams, I did get to go home in time; I did get to take a bath with my lavander Palmolive soap; I did get to put on my make up and gorgeous dress.


When I went to the address where the party was going to be held, it was right beside the coffee shop where I met the geek girls. I told myself, I could have just stayed there and waited.


It all boils down to socializing. I need to get out, I need to meet up with people over a cup of coffee. I also need to have more guts and face my endeavor; ask for help (cab). 


I still don't get why Ohno wasn't in there when I was spazzing over him all night while watching Wild At Heart PV.  In the end, it was still Nino I'm involved with. Why is that?

Sakurai Otousan's Advice

I found Sakurai Otousan in front of the TV, having dinner, as our guest.  There were a lot of plates scattered around.

Excited, I tried to entertain Sakurai Otousan. I told him all about his own son, how he is in Arashi. And Sakurai Otousan quietly and patiently listened to me.

He stood up and started clearing up the messy plates. He said he'll wash the dishes (my most hated chore, btw). I said, "No, I'll wash the dishes."  However, he insisted.

While he was washing the dishes, he told me: that he's happy that I've come to appreciate his son and his friends, and that I support them with all loyalty; that I should have some time for myself and my own goals, to remain equal rather than stay beneath them forever.

Sakurai Otousan finished washing the dishes quietly, in his crumpled suit, in my unfamiliar house supposedly in Japan.

I have no idea what it all means. I do get the message. I just don't get where it came from. Is it something in my head all along? Whose message is this from, really?


Dishes/plates mean ideas. Dirty dishes mean my ideas are all over the place. Someone cleaning it up for me, means that I'm screwed. I've lost touch. I have too much ambition, but no courage to go through with it. Enough with the envy, get on with the work. 

[REVISIT] First Appearance of All 5 Arashi

THIS WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED IN AIBAKALAND

Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 6:34 pm

_________________________________________

i don't remember if i have posted my dreams here before ... but i do dream about them quite frequently ... most especially, Nino.

However, I'll just put in the latest one, a few nights ago. 6th dream of what started last April -- before April I had 0 Arashi related dreams.

All five of them and I were on a trip to see a family -- one of theirs. When we reached the house, they made me push the doorbell. When I looked back they were at a distance. Aiba-chan went to buy a bottle of local beer in the convenience store 2 house away from where I was standing. So did Sho. MatsuJun, Nino and Oh-chan bought non-alcoholic drinks. I went after them, leaving the lady who answered the door behind. There was a few minutes chat. Then Sho-kun pulled my hand and decided that it's time I meet this family -- but none of them would tell me whose was it. Nino pulled my other hand as MatsuJun pushed me by my shoulder. Then Nino put his arms around my shoulders, so I put mine around his waist while my other hand was still holding Sho's. I looked behind me and found MatsuJun closely behind me, his arms around Oh-chan and vice versa. Aiba was walking behind them with his bottle of beer.

I never really understood the dream. Then again, what's there to understand?

Crapping in Front of Them -- Not a Beautiful Thing

Nino was there again. He was my classmate. There was a school fair. Arashi -- my classmates -- where going to perform as a front act to upper-class men SMAP and popular kids in school Big Bang.

But, I was ill. My digestive system was throwing a fit again, as it always does. The classrooms have their own toilets. That was where the guys were changing their clothes. I had to use the toilet, and they let me. Problem was, they let me use it while they were changing. MatsuJun was actually surprised to see me doing my thing, but after looking at an indifferent Sho, he changed his clothes in front of me. He knew that I wasn't paying attention to him anyways, and that I was waiting for Nino.

After getting out of the toilet, the girls in the class were already making message boards for Arashi's performace in the school fair. They made me write something on it. I remember writing a long message for Nino with a silver pen. They were teasing me about my very obvious crush on Nino.

However, I missed the performance because of my illness. When I came out again, MatsuJun and Sho were gone and Nino was back in his school uniform and SMAP was performing while Big Bang was preparing.

My illness got worst. My stomach pain grew. The girls in the class were already getting worried. Leanne329 suggested that they bring me to the hospital. But the other girls couldn't carry me.

Nino volunteered to help me get to the hospital. I was so excited despite the pain. The thought of being in his arms filled my mind and is only disrupted by the sporadic bouts of cramps.

He went to the school's administration office to get permission to go out of the school grounds and bring me to the hospital. The other girls were there, too, as well as the teacher. When he came back, I couldn't take it any longer so I ran to the nearest toilet.

But, the toilet was so filthy. Each bowl was filled with feces. In fact, even the floor was littered with feces. So I stood above one bowl and let go there. At the same time, I started vomiting pinkish stuff. Old ladies, probably faculty, came in and ignored my condition.

I woke up after the vomiting stopped.

__________________________________________________________

Feces usually means money. My feet touched some of it. Would that mean I'm going to have some money? The abundance of it, does that mean I have multiple means of getting it. But since I didn't touch it, does that mean I'm the one refusing it?

Or was my mind affected by my real digestive system?

Vomiting means letting go. What do I have to let go?

Why is Nino always in my dreams?
