Always so much that a hole might open, I see your heart

Omoi uagi o nuide Woman

Take off your heavy coat, woman
Fill your lungs, breathe deeply in and out

(icon credit: saucymarmalade@lj)

YAHHHOOOOO.. haha went down to Bugis Kino today after work coz there was a 20% members sale.. Went to get like onli 2 mangas and also Oricon Style which had Kinki Kids on it. As i was paying for it, i saw right behind the cashier was the “Arashi is Alive” photobook… wow wow.. i asked for it too and its worth it coz i get 20% off.. Big savings.. haha…

A funny thing is that i got a manga which had like “Unsuitable for the young” sticker pasted on it. I usually NEVER get asked BUT this time the lady at Kino was like “Sorry but we can only sell this book to people over 18 years old.” I was still unaware of the situation when she was like “Are you over 18?” I was eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… I’m 23.. “oh okok sorry sorry”.. eeehhhhh….. I was even in my work clothes… ehhhhhhhh…. na de ya ne!!!!!!!!!
