FINAL UPDATE of the bday poll results graphic / more TK b-day stuff/ TOMALICIOUS.COM!!!!

(with all this toma b-day stuff, i have been slacking off on posting toma-isms. they'll be back soon...)

atsui!!
it's hot again!! =(

ok, i've updated the bday poll results graphic for the last time. didn't expect there'd be ppl voting even on his birthday! 8 ppl! doumo! =) this is the last update. mmmm...it sounds so FINAL. it all started 2 months ago...and now it's finally finished! well, at least now the right side of both blogs have a lot more space freed up! not as cluttered w/stuff. still...even if toma never sees it, just the fact that so many fans took part in making something meaningful 4 toma, which all of us can see and like what it resulted in... that makes all the time i spent on making/updating it worthwhile!! =)
i hope next year i'll be able 2 think of something as great to make 4 toma's b-day!! of course, i'd love to make it a group effort of fans f/all over the world again, too. ~_~

ma, i dunno when toma will be able to see this b-day present we made him, so i'll leave up the bday graphic & other stuff 4 a long long time! =) maybe i'll just leave it up till i come up with something else for toma's b-day in 2009! lol. ummm...i don't think there'll be any kinda TL! xmas project, but we'll see...

so today's oct. 7 in my timezone. technically it's toma's b-day, but i know that in japan, his b-day has past, so i don't have that same happy feeling today ne. plus the extreme heat is sapping a lot of my energy. but if u want to, go ahead and celebrate TK's (toma-kun's) b-day today, too, if it's oct. 7 in your timezone. =) well, actually, u can celebrate all week or even all month if u want!! lol. WHO CAN STOP YOU?? hahaha~

yappari, lots of toma fans made things/posted stuff to celebrate toma's b-day!!

and saving the best for last: the lovely, brilliant, generous, amazing , ANGELIC staff of Tomalicious have just launched today/yesterday, the only toma fansite (that i know of) in eng.: TOMALICIOUS.COM!!!

EHHHHHHHH!!! =0 i knew there was a fansite coming, but i totally forgot about it and to suddenly see it up today!!! xD DOUBLE AWESOMENESS!! though not all the sections are up yet, but there's plenty of cool stuff there now. a lot of toma info for those OCD, tomaddicted ppl like me who MUST LEARN as much about him as possible. haha! it's even got toma's magazine & work schedules!! & i love how all his tomagoto entries R there too!! i hope the old ones i haven't seen are there too. and of course, lots of toma goodies-- videos, gallery, translations, etc. just have to register first. ahhhhhhhh~ check it out! and remember to link to it! =D

*_*

day 1~ yui's happy birthday to you you

IT'S~

ALMOST~

HERE~!

TOMA-CHAN'S 24TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!

LOOKING FORWARD TO IT~
GETTING VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT~

UPDATED THE BDAY POLL RESULTS GRAPHIC. FINALLY, more kisses than best wishes! they were close all along, but suddenly last week, lots more fans wanted to give toma a kiss. haha~ i changed the past results section at the bottom a little. the ANIMATION!! of the hearts/votes increasing each week. pretty cool, right? but sorry, it's kinda jumpy & i didn't have it "moving" from week 1-2.
whew, i'm glad it's really almost his bday & i'll only need 2 update it a couple more times! it looks pretty simple, but it takes me more time than u'd expect to update it each week. hahaha~

so, today's song~!
i found this song after i found NEWS' song, and i like this one a lot more!! =D
it's now my fav b-day song!! haha~ it's from 2007. i love the rock-y style, love the simple but sweet and touching lyrics, love yui's sweet voice and natural way of singing. and i love how i can actually sing a long with most of the song!! heehee~ i know, i know, the lyrics R quite repetitive, mostly happy b-day to you, but still, it's such a catchy & awesome song!! check out the eng. translation of the lyrics here: http://www.jpopasia.com/lyrics/6175/yui/happy-birthday-to-you.html

here R my fav parts of the song:

I want you to stay near me all the time
And tell me your special dreams
Hope things go well from now on
I’ve got you a present too, happy birthday!

...From now on I’ll be with you even on hard days
I want to grow old with you like this

and i'm sure all toma fans can relate to what she's saying, right? that's how i feel about toma!! ahhh~ if only i could see him on his birthday, i could sing this song to him!! ~_~ well, actually, i'll just play the song for him and sing along. i'm a terrible singer. hahaha!

ja ne!
