Gaki Comes Home...

... to Ham's house that is *grins*

Risa's ~Mahalo~ PB taken in Hawaii gets!! This was released on 14 July 2010. But I only brought it home yesterday on 27 July 2010.

Usually I get my PBs either online or directly from the bookstore depending on if I have the extra cash to make a pre-order. This time I didn't hence I had to wait some time before bringing my beloved Gaki-san home :)

I wasn't expecting to buy it yesterday though since I was out with my sis and she has this grudge against MM and Risa in general. She never misses the opportunity to diss her :( Anyway, we happened to go to the mall where a branch of my fave bookstore was located. Heading over to the rather small PB section (the store in town has a bigger selection) I was surprised to see Mahalo smiling at me from the top shelf. It's almost as if she was waiting for me to take her home :P

Sadly, I put her back since I didn't wanna buy it there and get into a quarrel with sis. What was unexpected was that she actually told me to buy it! Her exact words were, "you are gonna buy it anyway so just get it now. " I was really happy when I went to pay. Having her call me 'carrot' for the rest of the day was a small price to pay. If you understand the local lingo you'll get why I'm a carrot to her *sigh*

The Cover


I have not seen a pic of the back cover yet so I'll most probably take a shot of it when I can and post it up along with the pages in the PB that I like ^_^

Now for some screen caps of the making of DVD that comes with the PB.


She was moving a lot here so I couldn't take more caps. I can feel her excitement overflowing and I wonder why she is so hyped this time as compared to the previous times where she had a PB shooting. Ah I know, because Ai-chan is waiting for her in their room after she's done for the day. It could be possible, as the husband and wife pair came a few days earlier than the rest of the members.


I like this outfit. Gives her a sunshine girl feel (the yellow bikini is a plus). Are those her pockets which are peeking out from under her jumper? Strange design ne~



Gaki: This ham tastes yummy!

Me: Awww shucks, you don't have to say that out loud *shuffles feet* <--- XD Yeah, apparently I'm in my nut mode again


A girl in deep concentration is always so good to look at. The great view of her tummy is awesome too :P


Gaki sitting atop the washing machine. I guess this means she ain't that heavy after all? Otherwise the machine would have broken down XD


The way she looks into the screen here is too adorable. I wanna pinch her cheeks and give her a good cuddle :)


Blowing bubbles? Or practicing how to pucker her lips in anticipation of meeting Ai tonight? :D


This shot is too sexy and I don't even know why ^^; My jaw just slacked when I saw it.


Gaki by the pool and in it. I LOVE her hair in the 2nd pic.


The black bikini doesn't flatter her that much but she still looks good. I mean, she does look better than a lot of people doesn't she?


Oooh, braided hair. It's amazing how the stylists do it? Makes Risa look pretty + cute. The perfect combination :)


Holy...look at those legs....


Sleeping Risa. She looks so blissful and serene. How nice would it be if I was a student sitting at the next table. I'll spend the whole day just staring at her.


Side view shot. Still pretty as can be. She even looks cute from the top! I think it's not exaggerating to say Gaki is a real cutie.


I just went wow at this point. It's almost as if an angel was descending the stairs. I love the way she walked down and her little smile.


The bicycle she was with look pretty big. It just goes to show how tiny Risa is in real life.


What would I give to get to eat shaved ice prepared by the bean. Though I felt scared for her when I saw how unsure she was handling the machine. If she was really a worker at the ice shop, the queue would be super long going by how 'fast' she makes them :P


Damn! Her clothes really isn't safe for this action. I could almost see down her top! @@


Risa deep in concentration again. Why is she so darn sexy!?!? XD I like the white shirt. Is this what the people who work in the shop wears? Can I buy that? :D


Back shot of Gaki-san in the cute white tee and faded denim shorts. I laughed when I saw this scene not because there was anything wrong with this picture. I just happened to remember what took place when I was out with my parents and sis one day some time back.

Dad: Why are there 2 white patches on your butt?

Me: Eeek!??! Nani nani uso!!! <-- This went off in my mind at about 90 miles a minute. Then I realized he was referring to the pattern on the shorts. They were similar to the above.

In the end, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It's a design? -_-; I should really remind myself to not wear anything "funny" when out with parents next time.


No reason for taking this cap. I just liked how she looked in it :)


Am I weird cuz my dream car is a Volkswagen Kombi? I've always liked the design of it and now that Risa is sitting in one, my goal in life is to buy this exact one that she has sat in!!! Lol, yesh, I guess I am still crazy to think of something like this. I've told this to my mom and sis before. And their reactions were, "why do you want such a big vehicle" and "I doubt you can park the thing." Any idea who said what? XD


Wow weeeee~~ Just one word...hawt :D


I wanna be the sand!! XD Or the person gazing at her while she points that finger at me :D If I can't be either of that, then I don't mind Ai being the one XD


Sexy...


... and even more so...


Tee hee, isn't this angle of her cute? I like her hair to be wet like this :)


Cute mouth spotted! Her duck lips are cute, so is this. Yes, cute cute CUTE!! 6 times of the word cute still isn't enough to describe adorable Gaki.


I'M OFFICIALLY IN LOVE WITH RISA!!! I say this like I wasn't before XD But I was, I am still and I will always be...in love with her :) Can she keep her hair tied like this more often? I not only wanna pinch her cheeks and hug her when she looks like this, I wanna kidnap her and keep her in my pocket! I also wanna steal that jacket :P


Ending bit with another cute expression. Gaki says she has never been to a beautiful place like this. Ah huh, neither have I. I'm guessing this jetty leads out from the house she took the PB photos in? It would be nice to live in a wonderful home like this. Especially if the mistress of the house is this particular Niigaki :)

Say Cheese! ~ Bijo Gaku #15

I think I rarely blog about TV shows? But this time it was too cute not to. 'Bijo Gaku' is a series where the H!P girls appear in random groups and do even more random things XD I remember Gaki, Lin Lin, Momoko and Maasa were involved in some sushi thing while Ai, Reina, X and X (I lost the files before I had the chance to watch them so I don't know who the rest of the girls were) had fun with mega calligraphy brushes.

Sayumi, Aika, Maimi and Mai had their stint in the kitchen cooking. But they also had the chance to try working in an aquarium. I was surprised that this group got to do 2 rather different jobs but I guess it could be because UFA wanted to expose Sayu more since they seem quite happy with her as a variety idol. Unfortunately I didn't watch the underwater bits properly as I have a phobia about the sea and anything that lives beneath it ^^;

The latest episodes has Eri, Jun Jun, Captain and Yurina playing with cameras. I like the photography theme since I enjoy looking at cameras myself. Pity I don't understand Japanese well or I could pick up some tips from the sensei. He is the guy behind all those adorable big-head doggy merchandise that was hugely popular some time back.

Anyway, onto the show. I was a little bummed that Kame didn't get to go on with any of the K4. I'm sure it would have been crazy :D

Lesson #1:

How to handle the camera


Hmmm, judging by how Eri holds the camera, I suggest they start her off with the cheapest model :P


Here she is adjusting the strap around her neck. But somehow it makes me think that this is how she would look removing her top. XD

Lesson #2:

Creating the illusion of shapes in the model's eyes


I was really fascinated by this since I always wanted to know how this effect was created. I don't know if Eri did it on purpose? But picking the '?' sign out of all those available made me crack up. Even captain couldn't resist tsukkomi-ing her, lol.


Here they are observing the end product. I even find the way she bites her nails cute. It's really obvious I think Eri is pretty huh?

Lesson #3:

Taking moving shots


I must be crazy. Because to me, the back of her head looks adorable as well ^^;


Another cute pose. Why is she so good at making kawaii poses? It's not fair!! XD And it definitely breaks the rules. Cuz it makes me fall in love with the turtle even more *blushes*


Are? Why is she going all squirmy and embarrassed? The reason is, she couldn't take a good shot even after trying numerous times. Aho Kame is at her best again :D


Oooh, nice legs.


Ehhh?


EHHH?


EHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!?

Don't spread your legs like that Eri! It gives people bad, bad images XD

Next Week!


The girls try taking big-head shots of real puppies :)


And they get to be the model too. A blur looking Eri?


Closer shot. How can the sensei concentrate on taking that picture? If it were me, I get that camera out of the way and lean in :P What?! Don't tell me you don't wanna know what it feels like to kiss XD
