Hello! I'm happy to find Japanese fans here smile.gif !
I'm not good at reading and writing something in English, though wink.gif

We couldn't download DC's tune on "iTunes" from Japan for a long time, but finally we're able to do it, even though there is "Time of my life" only.

I'm so appreciated this site has lots of information and audio and visual resouces!

Sure it does!!! I'm sad that AI is not really famous here in Japan and it's so hard to find someone
to talk about DC around me!!! I feel like I've been feeling/acting like teenagers when it comes to DC stuff....

Thanks God, Thanks Travis, we've got this site that gives us nearly on-time his appearance and
so many info..... I can never get enough of him!!!

Also, he is not only a great singer but also a wonderful English teacher!!!
He articulates so perfectly which really helps me to understand whatever he says and that is difinetery
one of main reasons I never get bored of him. Intelligence is sexiness!!!

Am I only Japanese thinking he is very sexy...? tongue.gif

This is my post I added to another thread
"Reasons Why He's The Sexiest..., ... Man Alive "
http://www.david-cook.org/David-Cook-Reaso...iest-t5180.html

and I just thought why not share my thoughts with all of you here...

-----------------
"Reasons Why I THINK He's The Sexiest..., ... Man Alive "
(Just my opinion... though)

1. He knows how to milk the camera. Like he is courting me fervently.
2 .His gaze is not just a gaze. It comes deep inner part of my heart
and I feel as if he knows everything about me.
(Actually I couldn't move and even forgot to breath at his last straight camera look
with "Always be my baby" performance on AI7...)
3. His seductive voice. Especially with a low tone. Like he rubs it slowly along my entire body.
4. His scruffy look. It's super sensual... Drives me crazy... arouse women's sexual instinct.
5. He articulates so perfectly. Women loves men with brain. Intelligence is sexiness.
6. He is a man of a high caliber. Always trying to find the constructive part from whatever people says.
7. He is so human. He is never afraid of showing us his emotion and moving to tears which is so beautiful.
8. He respects, cares, loves his family. I love watching him hugging his family so tightly... (I wish I were...)
9. His grin. (THAT smirk which makes him famous for!) His inner sexiness comes through clearly in it.
10.The way he sings. He looks just a little bit up provocatively/suggestively when he sings with a guitar.
I name it "F**k me face".
11.His brawny arms and hairy belly... OMG...
12.He's extremely hilarious, has great sense of humor, and always keeps it real!
13.He is down to earth guy. Matured indeed.
14.He's true to what he believes in. What he says is very logical and worth listen to.
15.The way he caress the microphone stand... *THUD*
16.The way he cares / talks about Kimberly Caldwell... so honest and affectionate.
17. His existence, itself is just sexy.

-----------------

I've been really enjoying watching all videos, especially interviews cuz he is hilarious!!!
He is a great singer, on top of that , seriously, "indubitably", really "well spoken".
That is probably why he striks a lot of women regardless of age as so cool, isn't it?

^ JUNKO, you made me smile on that post.. wub.gif

don't worry sooner or later DC japanese fan will crowd this thread..

David hit you so bad tongue.gif

i say, you should have made a new thread for this, many fangirls here will agree with you and love you for those 17 nicely put reasons you wrote.. wink.gif

I live in near border of Kanagawa/Tokyo.... Japan.
Apparently not many Japanese are in this thread, even in this site itself (maybe cuz of English?) ...
but nationality doesn't really matter to support him biggrin.gif

I definitely prefer this site to other some "Japanese" sites since it's much bigger, more lively,
MASSIVE info., international, and allows me to be more *fangirly* here!!!!!!!!

Sometimes it's hard for me to understand 100% what he says
but I know it's worth TRY hard and really good chance to improve my English while having so much fun of him!!!

Raven,

YES HE DOES HIT ME SOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!
I can't believe how much I'm obsessed... I KNOW I'm crazy or a kind of insane...
and I've found myself funny cuz I've been a really hard English learner since I crushed him!!!
I have never been like this before even when I was actually "studying" it... Good on me!!! Good on him!!!

Sometimes English is much better for me to explain how exactly I feel, especially when it comes to
sort of "sexy" topics... cuz... for me,,,, Japanese is too direct if I say it out loud in Japanese that makes
me totally blushing... wub.gif Thanks god I'm a bit familiar with English...

Thanks Vangie,

Yep, my name is Junko. Really typical Japanese female name....
Seems like no other Japanese are on this thread here... It looks like PM board for 2 of us,,, doesn't it?
There're many Japanese fans on other Japanese sites and they definitely are visiting this site as well
but I guess they just didn't pop on here or being happy for only viewing.
Never mind, Hope someone will get on soon...

Yeah it's so sad and irritating that everything is happening thousands miles away from us...
But I'm just trying to think it positively like that we're still lucky cuz we can catch up and see what's all
happening for them through the internet...
He's just the sweeeeetest thing in this entire world... we can't get enough of him....

Also, let's hope he's coming to Asia soon.... and I believe it'll happen!!!
I have honestly no idea how I would be if I practically met him though.... tongue.gif

Added you up too, Vangie:D

In Japan, the show was aired on TV with Japanese subtitles but 3weeks behind the US.
It SUCKS!!! TOOOOOOOO LATE!!! Impossible for me to wait soooo long!!!
So I had been watching them on the internet nearly on-time every single week.
(And, FOX is a satellite pay-channel here so not many of Japanese might have watched it, I presume...)
Anyway, we can never thank enough for the greatest invention "Internet", can't we?!

Yes, it's great he's got such a wonderful lovely numerous fans all over the grobe!!!
Not only his talent and hotness but also his personality is abusolutely undeniable for me to love!!!
He is so true to what he believes in and really emotional which "moves" my heart a lot...

Im not from Japan but i can talk Japanese.. Ive been learning it for 5 or so years.

I have a random question for the Japanese people on here.. Is it as hard to learn English as people say?

too bad, here in the pHils they aired it live.. wink.gif
it's not really from fox channel but on star world (that's a cable channel in here)
it's weird not many Japanese like AI..
yes, we will never get tired of admiring the man..
personally, he's my first AI favorite, i've been supporting him eversince i've seen him sing billy jean..
yeah, i was like WOW when i've heard his rendition..
is any of DC songs hitting your radio stations in Japan?..
here, always be my baby and time of my life were doing god on the airwaves,, tongue.gif

hello Stef!
Junko, we've got another lovely addition to are PM board tongue.gif
you're from NZ right, how come you're studying Japanese? wink.gif

Hmmm, as for the question, yeah, Junko why?..
is it because English lang is not part of your curiculum in school?

Hi Vangie,
Lucky you've got it LIVE! It's very critical especially for this kind of program. FOX-Japan should've realized it!!!
I think the reason why AI is not so famous in Japan is just because not many people got an oppotunity to watch it since it's been aired only on a cable channel here. If we can watch it on normal channels, I'm sure AI'll be a big smash popular program here, too.
I have honestly no idea how many fans are here in Japan at the moment and I don't even know when I'm going to be able to start using the word "many" for counting number of fans...
Number is just a number and it doesn't really change my support to him laugh.gif
I don't really know how the radio stations are going here in Japan... but obviously things going in Philippine sounds more like "surge" than in Japan... Seems like he is tremendously popular now in your counrty! Great!

After all, regardless of numbers and popularity, I'm just so happy and grateful that I could get to know him.
I haven't seen any musicians who has such a wonderful personality and talent like him before.
It's not an exaggeration that I've been learning a LOT from him.
One of the main reasons why I don't get bored with him is probably his maturity. (He denies it though.)
THe number of older fans are proving it! We don't usually get so in tune to immature men tongue.gif
....Honestly, I still can't believe that he is younger than me... So matured.

Hi Stef!
It's great to hear you've been studying Japanese!
Japanese is one of the most complecated languages in the world, I guess... so you're great.

Yes, it's hard to learn English for us,,,, maybe as hard for you to learn Japanese as you're feeling...
Grammar, letters, and pronunciation are sooooo different as you might have noticed.
But in my opinion, the biggest reason why we are not good at English is not those above.
It is probably because we don't have many oppotunities to use it for our daily life.
(I've heard that the percentage of non-Japanese in Japan is still 1.6%...)
Even if we study it hard with textbooks towards the desk, it's impossible to keep it up without
actually using it. Then, if you feel it "unnesesarry", it's hard to keep enthusiasm for it...
After all, many people give up and stop learning it after students life.... A vicious circle... so sad...

I think I'm lucky that I'm interested in foreign stuffs so at least I have "WILL" to keep up with it.
And English is ovbiously essential to catch up with all DC stuffs tongue.gif so I've been very much enjoying
learning it with HIM!!! There is nothing more interesting than learning language through someone I like a lot!!!
I'm so greatful and thankful to him giving me a great oppotunity to level up my English!

Hope you can come to Japan someday. I've traveled around NZ last year and LOVED it!
Although I didn't stop in Invercargill, enjoyed southern island such as Dunedin, Queenstown,
Milfordsound, Franz Joseph Glacier, Greymouth, and Christchurch very much!!! All were just beautiful!!!
Stef C
When you start High School in NZ you can choose from some 'option' subjects you want to do, so i choose Japanese. And ive keep doing it for the last four years. I dont know why but i just find it a awesome language. Plus i love the food so it cool to go into the Japanese restaurant (there's only one in the city that i live in) and order in japanese.

Its funny that you say you learn english from DC, because there is a japanese band i listen to and i think it helps with it.

I always find it weird when they say NZ is so beautiful. I think its because ive lived here my whole life and i probably dont appreciate it as much as i should. My school goes on a exchange trip to Kumagaya every couple of years, i missed out of going last year though sad.gif they are going next year but its my last year of school this year so i wont be able to go. I will one year though!
raven
JUNKO : i just visited your profile, i didn't realize you were older than David tongue.gif . Yes, indeed! DC is a big thing here in the Phils., specially for those who have been hooked up wiht AI *considering that AI is also aired here in FreeTv plus tha fact that Ramielle is a Filipino*. There had been no contest between him and Archuleta. I remember those days when i used to listen to the radio and the DJs would start discussing AI, uh! those polls about who should win DavidC or DavidA, DC always win and reasons are people always see him as somebody who is matured (DA is literally too young), smart, got the talents and the looks and yeah sexy. And besides, i presume that Filipino like rocker foreign singers, DA have been consistently singing ballads (many find it boring).. but to tell you honestly, during the finale i thought DA was gonna win, i was not losing hope that he would win but i then believed there is a very big possibilty he would lose given Simon's knokdown comments on the final performance night.. but all's well that ends well isn't it.. he won.. i'm so happy that day! i texted all my friends and shared to them my outburst of happiness..lol! *reminiscent mode*

STEF : here in ou school we call those subjects electives, they were taken on the last year in college..I think in our curiculum right now, subjects offered are European Languages, Asian culture and stuffs. tongue.gif

yes, it sucks not being able to travel and do other stuff, you kinda feel left out from all the happenings. I just hope aftr i graduated i'll be able to go see other places. given that chance, first stop : Greece.. i really want to visit that country,, wink.gif
Junko
Stef,
Before I got late 20's I used to have almost the same opinion as you in regards to "MY country"... I'd always found it a little bit weird when they say Japan is beautiful. After some experiences in abroad, however, my views have been pretty changed and now I love my country as well as all other countries I've ever visited.
A plenty of time and tons of chances are ahead of you, and I'm sure that someday you'll find how *wonderful* your country is... smile.gif OK, even if you won't, at least I LOVE it there! Also, I'm glad you find Japanese a awesome language. I, even myself-100% Japanese, find it very complicated though!
Yes, if we have something we love when we learn languages, it makes a huge difference!

Vangie,
For me, the moment of the winner was very exciting and actually a little bit bitter and cruel at the same time
as I thought they both deserved it. It's obvious that DA is amazing in a different way from DC and they are
even incomparable. So I can happily say they both are terrific winners. biggrin.gif
Maybe the reason why I prefer DC is a kind of my instinctive preference -which is really hard to explain- and
his versatlity. and it of course does NOT mean DA is unattractive. They both are incredible and I like watching them getting along very well on/off stage, especially when DA makes DC crack up! DA is very very funny
even though he's not trying to be. Seriously, DA sometimes makes me laugh so hard...
His purity is beyond comedians!

Although this is just my opinion, as so many speculations were brought, Simon might have been so harsh
to DC ON PURPOSE estimating a huge amount of reflectional supporting votes to DC. And I personally thought
it would make sense when I found Simon *winked* after DC's comment "Why do something I've already done?" and Simon actually looked so happy when the name of the winner was announced...
The truth has not come out (has it?) but if it was all on Simon's purpose, he was really a trier and it was
very brave thing to do because that attempt might have not worked.
(hope you get what I mean right... I'm not sure if this explanation is making sense to you...)
Also it is true that Simon's comments made the finale more special and gave people a lot to talk.
After all, it came off very well as BUSINESS and that's probably one of the reasons he gets paid a lot, I think.

Anyway, I was so happy with the result, too. and I'm glad the excitement is still *on going* amang all fans laugh.gif


BTW,,,, Have you read this thread?
http://www.david-cook.org/Seattle-Times-Interview-t9545.html
>Q: It probably helped that you looked so relaxed on camera.
>A: Well, things changed when I sang (Lionel Richie's) "Hello." I couldn't tell any other difference performance-wise from earlier weeks. I just began to engage the camera more. I learned a trick of not looking at the lens, but through it.

Oh Yes! you always DO through it and we always melt wub.gif
raven
JUNKO yeah, i understand what you mean.. whether simon did that on purpose or not it surely did helped DC. it was kinda reverse psychology, people ussualy symphatize with the underdog..Simon's comment that night was really harsh, many believe DC did not deserve it so they went voting for him like crazy.. tongue.gif backlash, as i would like to call it, until now i can't honestly judge if simon did that on purpose, he was mean and somehow harsh in his every comment ( but that is what his getting paid for, isn't it? ).. it'll definitely be boring if every single day judges would praise and commend the contestant.. back t the point, i do not believe that simon nor any of the judges has been totally biased regarding hte rivalry (not exactly the word for it), i remember simon saying in the crowning night that for the first time he doesnt care who will win.. DC may have accepted harsh reamrks during AI btu now time is making it up for him.. look at all the DC fans in here who totally adore him..at first then i was somehow mad at simon by saying this and that but later on i realize it was "just an opinion" ..haha tongue.gif

i haven't seen it yet. but sure i'll check it out. tongue.gif
Junko
Vangie,
Yeah, good programs always contain some profound & bitter parts and that makes it even better and more interesting to watch in some ways so Simon is essential for AI as a matter of course. "Backlash"... nice naming:)
I've been completely lack of sleep for some months because of DC (and all of them) and oddly enough I'm now getting used to this crazy life. It takes me so long time to read/listen/watch everything in English but I just can't stop! The funny thing is that I've got so many new vocabs through all AI&DC stuff but most of them are not very useful and appropriate for my daily work.... How could I use those words like "seductive""holy crap" or "caress" for work?! wacko.gif

This is still like our PM board... Not too bad for me though.
Hopefully someone else take part in our chat soon laugh.gif

BTW, I think you're rather smart for your age!
All your quotes sound pretty wise! A smart guy draws a smart girl. Fair enough biggrin.gif

JUNKO
so i see, you've been in front of the cmputer for weeks. Yes more and more new stuffs about DC and Ai are popping in the internet.. It's addictive, once you start reading or watching something you just get sucked up..It's honestly hard to stop. Personally i've also pick lots of stuff from doing what you've been doing for months. Vocabs especially, good things and bad things. True, lots of nice stuff but sometimes whenever i watch videos on youtubes and read the comments on the pages, sometimes i'd be like huh? words like sexy, seductive and the like are still a bit acceptable in nature (that's for me) but sometimes haven't you encountered really shocking comments, post or writings, i mean not just the f word ( i got used to it this past few months), but really horrible and disgusting things..haha! sometimes i just feel like DC is being sexually harrased by thousands of people through the internet..haha! (i'm laughing, id on't know how to put that in other words other that sexually harrased or raped) I hope you do not misunderstand, i'm not trying to be miss prim and proper, we all know the man is dreamy but smetimes those overly ridiculous stuff are really annoying.. Maybe it was just some kind of culture shock, most of this things that i've read are from westerns..Asians and westerns kinda have a big difference in culture..waha! i hope i can tag some lines for you so you'll know what i mean.. anyway, this may just prove to be another disadvantage of the internet access being so loose to everyone..

i love this PM board too tongue.gif
it's the only place in here where i get to have a decent and fruitful conversation..( there are too many members in this forum, they keep postin and postin and people are not able to reply, have a conversation and get t know each other..)
Don't worry, soon we'll have an addition in here. wink.gif

and yes, thank you for the compliment..
i love you for that junko wub.gif

you're also a really really smart girl and i love you're passion for DC,
it's my first time to ever have a conversation like these with a japanese, i love our exchange of opinions.
and honestly it's one of the reasons why i frequent this board tongue.gif

let's continue doing this,
i like meeting new friends..
hope to know more about you laugh.gif

you're virtual friend,
vangie wink.gif
Junko
Vangie,
Yeah,,, it's good to be able to keep on having sensible talk here... Some threads are moving soooo fast and nearly impossible for me to catch up what's going on there... Also, just an opinion but the number of threads are too many. Especially "Live tour" forum. I wish they were sorted out and organized in order of the cities&dates where lives are heled, for example.
I'm very grateful to moderators for their all amazing work here but it seems that the site itself has grown up incredibly fast and some parts are still beyond their control, I guess.... Hope everything will be more well organized soon.

By this point, I've given up to try to get "everything" cuz finally I learnt that it would be everlasting endless work and just drive me crazy. Now I feel like "I got myself back from bubbles.". so hopefully I'll be more down to earth (like him!), smarter (like him!) and cooler (like him!) but of course still HUGER fan of him.


Yes, he's been being sexually harrased publically on the internet. It can't be helped but certainly true.
Actually I don't know how I should comment on it because....................................
Although I think that few of them are utterly insane, rediculous, disgusting and just makes me speechless, it's also the fact that I've been very enjoying watching the rest of them that still keeps a common sense.
I know! I know! maybe I should NOT, but I don't want to be miss prim or proper as you don't. so I have to
admit my curiosity. I dare say "Yes,,,,,yes....yes." tongue.gif

I remember that one older woman answered to a kind of street interview by saying
"He's 25. That's old enough that we can openly ogle him, and we can drool over him, and it doesn't make
us feel like we could be his mother."
She literally cracked me up!

To sum up, it's obvious that I'm NOT the one who deserves to criticize them....
(and I totally understand that you don't mean you want to do it.)
The tricky point is probably this. Everything based on fan's wild fancy is always much more interesting and amusing than normal ordinary decent proper articles/opinions...

It's great to getting to know new people through HIM, and what made me feel "It's really cool!" is that
he hits lots of *SMART* woman regardless of age all over the world!!! (OK, Let's include US. tongue.gif )
raven
yes, too many threads in just a short period of time... i wonder how on earth he mods are getting this whole thing in order.., maybe, the fact that generally posers here observes tact helps..
i'm glad you're back on track.. getting yourself some sleep huh? trying to get everything from the net seriously means forever.. each day more and more things are being added..

and as for those insane remarks that we're talking about, i know what you mean.. they are drama.. gives color to montonous things don't they. I must admit, though i said they sometimes put me in shock, they're kinda amusing to read.. they make me realize how some people are so very open in sharing even their wildest and rather out of this world thoughts and opinions..haha! and yes, we are not to critisize them though, everything needs color and drama isn't it?..and surely it would be boring if all we have are normal ordinary decent proper articles/opinions.. i mean, we express ourselves differently, some may be reserve and others may be too open, haha! i like t believe that in this little chat about htis people, we do not mean to critisize them..and for the record, yeah! i also enjoy reading crazy comments.. wink.gif

as you've said, a smart guy draws a smart girl..
that's it, DC's smart and he didn't just draw a single smart girl.. he made a nation of one. tongue.gif
Junko
This time I'm not really confident if I could articulate what I wanted to mean very well...
But just give a dare posting! Sorry if it makes you confused!
---

Strange to say, the More I watch so many fans screaming at him, the more I get calmer... It's hard for me to explain this feeling very well though.
It's not joking but I was seriously concerned about myself being pretty "fangirly" for a couple of past months and it was just out of my control. But the thing is that I was really AWARE of it. I mean, I KNEW it. I was thinking myself like "AM I nuts?!". So it was maybe still curable.

Recognizing him as an "already-huge-star" makes me become more composed.
It might be a kind of feeling like "OK, there is no chance(what chance?! wacko.giftongue.gif ). Let's admit it, get me back on my own track and be down-to-earth." for myself .
(This is rather embarrasing for me to write it here! but I keep it real just following him. tongue.gif )

Of course I've been aware of his great-greatness since at the very beggining of the show, he now is, however, proving himself as a "certain rare gem" to the world. Too good to be interfered by my trifling cheap obsession.
So, now, I'm pretty happy that I'm able to think like "OK, I'm living my own life and still a huge fan of him." and hopefully it'll get me more capable of grasp a DC's meaning at the soul. (I'm pretty sure it will.)

As for those insane remarks, Glad that you understood what I meant right.
Yeah, we all have a different type of ways to show our feelings just as we are all different human-being.
It's not that which is better or worse, but just a difference.
So Right, we never critisize them. Nobody deserves it anyway. Far from critisize, we would enjoy most of them.
For instance, some of fanfics are so much fun and exciting to read, incredible page-turner! I can't believe myself reading it even with on-line dictionary... I wish I could understand them as if they're written in Japanese!

Don't you think we've been having fairly fruitful conversation so far? hahaha.
Maybe a bit too serious?! Should we do this with PM??? or is it OK keep on doing it here?
I have honestly no idea if someone else is reading this though.
Hope our long comments are not being obstacles for other people who wants to post here...

BTW, what are your top3 fav. songs of DC? In my case, as of 14July2008,
1.Always be my baby
2.Dream Big
3.The Truth

and my top3 fav. performances of DC as of 14July2008 are...
1.The world I know -Can't forget tears welled up in his eyes (AI top2 final).
2.I don't wanna miss a thing -Just looked DAMN HOT on tour stage! (AI tour).
3.Heaven w/top 6guys -I watched this over and over again... just so HOT (AI finale)


It's funny but fav. songs and performances for me are different
and actually the ranking is changing everyday depends on my feeling on each day.
raven
hahaha! i don't know but i kinda laugh at that.. but please don't misunderstand, i wasn't mocking or anything..
we all are fangirls in some ways.., i too have experience those things you've said (though not with DC), surfin the net and watching vids on youtube till my eyes really hurt..lol! There's some point when i miss doing some assignment..hahaha! i was laughing at myself, i feel a bit ridiculous on how persistent i've been on getting even tidbits of information abut someone whom i haven't personally met..haha. i guess you know what i mean! we're bound o get crazy sometimes and being crazy is fun..

a bit serious,haha! yeah right we are..but it doesn't matter, i'm enjoying doing this (i've never written long post before) i hope this seriousness dosn't mean boring to you..haha! BTW, it had just been days and i'm sure after some time the'll be excitement in here.. i'll kill myself if that don't happen..haha! you know, all threads starts like this and i don't think it will hinder other people from posting in here..

my top 3 are..
1. always be my baby
2. dare you to move
3. i don't wanna miss a thing

as for the performance, i haven't decided yet.. tongue.gif
Junko
I know! I laughed at myself, too!
Being crazy is very fun, indeed. It's funny that I've been simply amazed by my curiosity.
Not only I just listen/watch/read about him, but also try to read between the lines every time.
and especially when it comes to a touchy conversation, I even try to figure out "what is he honestly wanted to say but not actually said?" even though he articulates himself perfectly in smart way all the time.

If I was taken with only his "music", things wouldn't be so complicated but because I've been so in love
with his "personality" (and "looks" for sure tongue.gif ) along with his music, I've been so inquisitive....
If you could let me being crazy some more, I'd love to say "It's all your fault" to him.
He has no idea what he does to me. He never has and he never will.

Then, a couple of seconds later now, I feel like I'm extremely hopeless and desperate, thinking "What the hell
am I saying to someone whom I haven't even met before? I just decided to be down to earth girl, didn't I?!".

Personally, for me, being addicted to someone on TV is like "manic-depressive psychosis".
(See? thanks, word nerd, I got another new vocab. )
Manic and depression come one after another by turns....
I wish I could be just "crazy" without any concerns.... hahaha.

No, no way to me to be bored with writing/reading here, it's just fun for me
and hope it doesn't hinder anyone from posting.

Yes! Love "Dare you to move", too !!!
As we all know, he has really good sense of the song choice, doesn't he?
It's phenomenal that whatever he sings everything sounds like they were born to be sung by him!

Today's DC no1 power play on my ipod is.... "First time ever I saw your face".

OMFG!!!! THIS IS FREAKIN' DAMN HOT!!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
YOU HAVE GOT TO STOP TEASING ME LIKE THAT!!!
*THUD*


Oh No....
Whatever proper/decent faultless goody-goody comments I made above and before,,,,,

FORGET IT.

I just can't stop watching this video!

He's making it sooooo hard to me to behave at "myself"!!!



He undoubtedly knows what he does to us.
Hey, Mr. "I'm not sexy", my foot!!! You know you are!!!




Ahhh..... again,,, going "insane" mood... hahaha.
No, not really. Just excited with his masculinity again... No worries. I still keep "MYSELF" to be "MYSELF".

No... Keep it real. Now it's 50/50. It's not easy to keep the balance, hah?
raven
okay,,
yay! finally got time to post..haha! i have been busy the past week.. we had our preliminary exam and i've been cramming all throughout the test week.. *i hate myself for being to lazy and disorganized with my studies*

crazy is indeed fun isn't it..? to be completely honest with you, i was also first captivated with his music but then large
factor why i also like him is *yes!* because of his personality and looks.. i doubt it if he will have as many fans as he have if he is not himself i mean if he isn't that smart or good-looking) haha!

manic depressive psychosis, nice term that is..

yes! yes! yes! though all of the song he sung at AI have their own respective singers, he always manage to sing them like one of his own. Not just emulating how the original singer sung it, but he gives them his own magic.. It always sound different and very original..

i'll check the video since you seem to be completely in awe with it..haha!

anyway, last time i checked TMZ.com , they've got some juicy stuff about DC in there.. care to visit? but beware some are not really nice ( like DC's version of billie jean not being original *it's funny, i just mentined about his originality*, and some clips of him with KC ).. Don't take anything to seriously, TMZ is a gossip network, most featured their are hollywoods dirt and scandals.. haaha! i know! what's the sense of checking it if i is no good?!.., but we all want to know everything we can possibly gather about david isn't it.. youtube is full of nice stuff about him, so i've search other things.. though, i'm telling you whatever gossip they try to pull on david, we will still love him won't we,,..

haha!

by the way, i've already added you on myspace..
Junko
I remember how much I hated exam weeks!
but as long as you are bothered with them, it means you are young!

Yes,,,, yes, yes...(watchword tongue.gif) His personality and looks are definitely big factors making so many girls/ladies falling into him. and yes again, it would make a difference (at least to me) if he was not "himself"... I'd still be a big fan of him but not like this specially stood out by a mile.
Also, let me add his "voice" as well. It was the first point that caught my attention.
It's sensually husky when singing, but gently warm when speaking. (Swoooooooon)
It was like "First time ever I heard your voice" instead of "First time ever I saw your face" for me...

As I mentioned before, it's so hard for me to believe that he's younger than me. I honestly feel as if he's older or at least the same age as me.
I know very well that it doesn't make sense at all sticking on the number. The point I'd like to emphasize here is
not the age but his maturity which is one of my most favorite parts of him.
I have never ever seen anyone who is 25 going on with the same level of maturity as him in my life
so he's just beyond my theory.
It must have been pretty tough to be a public figure suddenly,I guess, but he's been managing himself so well
and standing on his truth all the time.
He's never lost himself and is well-balanced. That is exactly what I don't have and I want to have for myself.

Well,, yes, we come across some "not really nice" articles occasionally but some of them are
not worth serious consideration. Even if they are harsh criticism, let's say;
"Everybody got their opinion (-DC)" or "Just an opiniooooooon. (-SC)".

BTW,,, I feel so bad for them (not only DC but all 10 of them) coming across some crazy impolite fans...
Pushing, shoving, threatenng into autographs, and screaming at inappropriate places...
Completely lack of common sense... I have no idea why those fans can not care of how members would feel to their crazy behavior... (I admit sometimes I'm insane in my mind but will never act like that in real.)

On the ohter hand, this kind of story is sooooooooooooo sweet.... rolleyes.gif

im back!!!
haha! it's like being back from the dead..

i guess we've been pondering too much about our age.. haha!

u know what? i can't think of anything else right now,
except that he's coming over..

just seen it in news, he'll do a one night concert.. (next year??)
hope it does happen..

though, part of it, i'm sad..cause i doubt it if i can come..*cries*
(our place is far from where huge concerts ussually happens)

but don't lose hope!!! aja!!

yes, he's a big big thing here.. actually HUGE!
lot's of pioy fans will surely give him awarm warm welcome..

i hope in the future he'll visit your country too..!!!

oh junko what will i do?!
haha! it's like crazy!!
Junko
Hey, forgive me it's taken me a while to reply! I've been kinda sick of English thorough checking all DC stuff out...

Oh yes, all Piinoy's, incl.you, are counting on January 27th, aren't you?!
Save some money and GO!!! How can you miss it!!! It must be worth going!!!
Is it really gonna be only 1day? I'm concerned if it's enough to accommodate all fans that wish
to get tickets... (Obviously not, is it?)
Hope his management will soon learn more that his fanbase today is now spreading all over the world, much bigger than they're estimating, so that they'll make "world tour" come true soon as well...

As to the rest of above, I'll PM you soon!
