I want to write a new letter, but I kind of have a writer's block... Sucks to have it.

I was thinking.... Maybe I should give up MOCing for contests. At least for a while. I never seem to come up with anything good for the contests. õ.ô The ideas are good in my opinion, but it never works out as I plan.
I know which pieces I have in my possession and how many I have of most of them. But it never works out. I guess I'll quit MOCing for contests for the time bein
I might be gone for a few days in the beginning of August, because, if all goes well, I will go to Wacken Open Air in Germany with a friend.

I won! I won! I won!
Heh, I participated in a little contest on the Fields of Rock website. I had to answer a question about DragonForce and if I answered correctly, I could win one of 5 copies of DragonFoce's album Inhuman Rampage. And I won. I'm pretty excited now.

It has arrived. BoA Complete Clips 2004-2006 is finally here. 13 music videos.... The cover art is simple. Black background with pink lettering, which reminds me of the white/pink colour scheme o
As you can see, I've changed the title and subtitle of my Blog.
The title is basically a mix of two of my interests.
"Conversations from the..." hails from Halo 2. More specifically, it's derived from the title of a bonus booklet from the limited edition of Halo 2. The booklet is titled Conversations from the Universe.
"Galaxy" is a part of the title from one of BoA's newer songs. The title is Lady Galaxy and is featured on the album Made in Twenty (20).
The subtitle is a mix between
About the title.....don't ask.
So....yeah. One of my orders got split up, so it was shipped in 2 parts. Bummer. <.<
The first part has arrived, though. It consists of the singles Scream and Sweet Impact, both of which are sweet. The other part is the Complete Clips 2004-2006 DVD, which got shipped out today.
ETA: Sometime next week.
Also, the order got shipped in 2 parts, because of something that was out of my and YesAsia's control. Fomr the email:
Well, not everything
Grr.... I fracking HATE my uncle!
Yeah, he's out of the hospital and back in town and he knows I'm onto him about him stealing my money. So he paid me a visit. Started to threaten me that he'd kill me if I'd accuse him and his friend of stealing money again. Thing is, I never accused his friend, Jan. (Jan used to help me with computer problems.)
My uncle is one of those agressive persons. One of the 'hit first, ask questions later' kind of people.
And if he threatens someone, he is ser
I've removed my beard. I feel so naked without it. 'tis a good feeling though.
But that's not what I wanted to talk about.
I've been on a little ordering spree, although it wasn't my intention to do it. I'm such a lamer sometimes.
Over at Play Asia, I've ordered BoA's Japanese single Rock With You. That song is so addicting. I believe it also has the English version of the great song Double, which is very hard to find when I want to download it. Which means I can never find it for downl
Ayaya, the taste buds on my tongue feel numb. Just had a hot cup of curry soup, which nearly made those buds explode. Now I can't taste my hot chocolate.
Not all was bad, fortunately.
My weekend started off pretty good. About an hour or two after I posted my last entry, the other package (which I mentioned would arrive this week) arrived. So yay for me.
I already had the Love & Honesty album, but I bought a different version because of the DVD that was included. The DVD contains t
Yesterday marked the arrival of 2 new 'things' I ordered. And they're amazingly cool.
First I listened to the Everlasting single, which is still amazing. It has 3 versions of Everlasting and 2 versions of the song Soundscape.
Tracklist:
M1. Everlasting
M2. Soundscape
M3. Everlasting Classical Version
M4. Everlasting TV Mix
M5. Soundscape TV Mix
Amazing, ne?
As for Merveilles l'espace, it's a completely different story.
It's just so awesome. The setting, the music, the sho
Decided to post my sixth letter. I know it took me almost a month, but I had my reasons. Letter 7 has been sent as well.
[EDIT] I removed the letter.. [/EDIT]

A couple of weeks ago, something interesting could be read on my (...) page. A comment by the singer of the Spanish metal band Yosemite Sam Band. It went like this:
I nearly dropped out of my chair laughing, since they thought I was the lady (BoA) in my screen picture.
And I explained it. Ish.
Maybe
There's a new confirmed band for Fields of Rock 2007.
Dublin Death Patrol. Should be fun.
Oh, and the band Buckcherry had to cancel their FoR concert. Something about tour obligations in the US, I believe.
Bummers.
Alright everyone, Valenti needs a new music order which isn't related to BoA.
If you make a suggestion, be sure to make only one at a time. That way I can combine some of the choices. All albums and singles in the following list are available on the same website. ^^
The list:

Mika Nakashima - Yes (Album + DVD)
Lee Hyo Lee - Lee Hyo Ri's (Single)
Utada Hikaru - Passion (Single + DVD)

Sounds great to me already.
As ye can see, I did a little 'cleaning' in my Blog. Thought the previous setup was a bit too busy.
All the pictures have something to do with this year's Arena Tour of BoA.
I finally watched B0A the LIVE -Ura BoA...Kikase Kei yesterday and it's one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
It was also different from any of the older concerts. Most of the songs had different instruments than their album and single counterparts.
Like the song Soundscape, which was originally an RnB-styled song. For the concert, the song was turned into a beautiful and subtle ballad.
Over -Across the Time- was changed into a short interlude, which was a shame.
At first I didn't re
Didn't go to work today, took some time to go to take a stroll along the seashore and hike along one of the local docking peers. You know, to clear my mind of negative and traumatic stuff. And it worked, kinda. I always find it relaxing to take a walk along the shore. The sound of the waves breaking onto the beach... The seagulls who are looking for food (and who try to s-bomb you on occasion)...
It's also one of the best looking places in my hometown. We get a view of 3 out of the 5 islands
It was announced today that Velvet Revolver and Hinder will be playing on Fields of Rock this year.
Hinder will perform on Saturday (my day) and Velver Revolver will be performing on Sunday.
So wheeeee...!!! :D :D
I feel like crud right now. Throat hurts a lot and other stuff. I think I'll go to bed when I finish up this entry.

Went to see IXI/The Driver today for the first time in a month-ish. We had a bunch of fun. He showed me the prototype version of the game Infinity and it looks awesome. He then showed me the C&C3 demo. Grace Park looked goood in it.
We then played us some Burnout Revenge. Wherever we drove, there were explosions. 't Was fun. And last, but not least, we played s
As you can see, other artists think very highly of BoA and I don't blame them. She is a great entertainer. All the more reason to love her.
++-++
Finally, an update from the official BoA fanclub "Jumping BoA". It seems they'll be shipping out the fanclub merchandise very soon. It's about time, since most of the members applied in April and May last year. I don't know what the goods are exactly, but I'm sure they'll be intersting.

As you all might know, I've entered BBC #41. Yo
At 12 pm, the big air raid alarm siren pole thing went off. Scared the living crud out of me, even though it was just the monthly test. Thing is, the darned thing is standing right next to our house, so everytime it goes off, it scares our cat so much, she gets under one of the sofas.
I feel bad for the little witty kitty.

I have to leave for work in 20-ish minutes (at the time of writing). Gotta start on my cottage bench. Funky little thing, I think I'll buy it for myself
