Originally, I was suppose to blog about Metrocon but I never got around to it. I've just been lazy.
I posted this on Monday. It was actually a really good Monday despite the fact that it's the start of the week. I drove to school on my own~ Yes, I made it perfectly fine and found a lot of parking. I'm happy that I can drive on my own now. It's a powerful feeling.
But...the entire statement of Monday being the worst day of the week is true. I thought I was having a good day until I went on Livejournal and found a entry that I never thought I would see so early.
An Cafe Suspends Activities.
August 31, 2009 - To all the fans and everyone supporting An Cafe, We regretfully announce that after 6 years since the band was formed in 2003, An Cafe has decided to suspend their activities on January 4th, 2010 with a live show at Nippon Budokan.
Without your sincere support to the band till today, we would never have been able to be where we are now. We are so grateful to all your support.
In making this decision, there were numerous discussions made between the band members and the staff. In order for An Cafe to step up to the next level, we have come to the conclusion that it is important for each members to charge up by seeing themselves objectively. The decision is rather made with a forward-looking vision.
We apologize for conveying this important news to all of you this way, and hope to gain your kind understanding. After the Budokan show, each member will concentrate on their own activity to be prepared for the band to restart in the future.
Again, this is our deepest gratitude for everyone who has supported us.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
An Cafe & Red Cafe staff
Obviously, I cried. A lot. Even though it's just a break/hiatus/pause, however you want to call it, it's shocking. It's sudden. Unexpected. My heart aches and I still can't grasp that this is true. I keep thinking "This is just a bad dream I'll wake up from." but the truth is, they are taking a break right after the Budokan live in 2010 and us Cafekko have no idea when they'll come back.
I fell in love with this band. I fell for their music, the lyrics, the PV's, and their bassist (as embarrassing as that sounds). They were my first concert. I went all the way to California to see them and I'll never forget the rush of energy I got when they came out to greet everyone. Everything about them is amazing because they are so different from the crappy music we have in America. So yes, it's hard to accept this news. I don't even know what emotion to feel but I can say all I feel is sadness. This band will still remain with me no matter what and I'll still crank up the volume I play their songs in my car. What hurts the most is not only was this sudden but Miku promised to come back. I was there when he said it at the concert, but now that's going to be on hiatus as well.
Kanon was right about 2009 being an unlucky year. He wrote a little blog about it at the beginning of 2009 and it's true. There have been numerous events, unfortunate events, that have happened. The outbreak of the Swine Flu, the King of Pop formally known as Michael Jackson passing away, Farrah Fawcett passing, Billy Mays...The list continues. This small town went through a rough time as well. A boy that graduated not even three months from Bayshore was killed cold-heartedly. Jrock music-wise: Mitsuru, the drummer of SuG, separated from the band. The sudden passing of Jasmine You from Versailles is still a fresh wound for fans. And now, An Cafe is on hiatus without any news of when they will come back. Only that they will return in the future. I believe the only good things that came out of 2009 for me was seeing An Cafe performing live in California, graduating from high school, Metrocon, and so far college.
As of now, I lack hope. I'm always so optimistic about everything but after all this it's gone. All I'm doing is thinking logically that they won't come back for a year or so. I'm not expecting to hear from them until 2011 to be honest. Maybe more. I've heard of so many bands take a break and they don't come back after 3 or 4 or even 10 years. I want to hope An Cafe is different and they return soon but...it doesn't seem like it'll happen.
The final day of August just had to be a Monday. It turned into a bad day in the end. Tomorrow might be better? I don't know. I'll miss them tremendously though especially Kanon.
I just didn't think I would see the day that An Cafe would decide to take a break come by so suddenly.

It's been a while.
2 months.
It's been two months since I've updated my blog. So many things have happened in two months. I barely update. I'm lazy and I feel like I update to the air. Anyway here's a few things that's happened within the past two months.
April 12th, 2009 - An Cafe.
I went to see An Cafe in concert in Anaheim, California and it was the best experience I have ever had. Literally, seeing An Cafe perform right before my eyes was more than anything I could ever ask for. I met Sam as well for the first time in the six years we have known each other and had a killer time at the concert. But before we were at The House of Blues we actually had to rush to get ourselves ready. We got to the hotel room a bit late then previously planned. My mom was basically Sammy's make-up artist since she barely puts any of it on. She looked so cute though~ I wish I had gotten a picture of it but we were in such a hurry there wasn't time. I know it's kind of lame to get all dressed up to see An Cafe and have the chance that they don't see you but hey if they do, you want to look your best~ So anyway, we ran to the HOB singing Cherry Saku Yuuki at the top of our lungs. Best moment ever. I wish we recorded it, lol. The walk was sooo long I thought we got lost at first but we managed to see the back of the building. Now the fun part, we got in line but it was the wrong one. We were in the "Jump the line"...line and didn't have the pass. So I asked a girl that was there how to get the pass and we had to eat something at the restaurant. I swear we ran our asses in there because we only had 45 minutes and it takes a long time for them to serve. We ordered salads but we weren't that hungry since we ate about an hour before getting ready. Sam's next to me saying "I'm eating this salad just for An Cafe!" Well, we got our pass and stood in line for a while talking to fans, signing this really big poster for An Cafe (I signed next to Kanon's head!) and took a few pictures. Seriously, I wish we took more. Okay, I'm just running on here. We got to get in 15 minutes earlier with the pass and once we got in there, we shot for the pit...then upstairs...then to the pit again. Either way we got to stand in the third row where Kanon stands and yes, I was extremely excited. Everyone there was extremely nice too o_O
Concert starts, and they come out one by one. Teruki (We screamed), Yuuki (We screamed again), Kanon (omg I almost urinated myself), Takuya (Sam busted my eardrum..), and Miku (We all screamed like bloody murder). The concert was so much fun and since it was my very first concert, it was the best! It felt really short though (I felt short too. Everyone was taller and I couldn't see T_T). The show started around 8pm and ended almost at 10pm. I was kind of sad that we had to leave...Oh and we ended up in the back by the end of the concert -_- So no chance of touching their hands. We got water spit on us by Miku which I thought was awesome and I blew a kiss at Kanon which I believe he saw or I want to believe that he did. We got wicked merchandise as well. I bought a shirt and a huge poster but I regret not buying the towel. Actually before I forget, we even waited about an hour and a half behind the HOB to see if An Cafe would come out. We were going to ambush them to get pictures and autographs. We weren't alone though, two girls sat with us and we just had a blast. The guard ended up kicking us out though...Asshole. It didn't stop us from standing at the corner of the street under the Disney Train though. I felt like a prostitute standing on that corner to be honest >_> Anyway, we waited and waited...and then we just got tired of waiting. It was late and we all had to get going...but I did love the moment where we teased Sam about Takuya XD By the end of the night I had to say my final goodbye to Sam because the next day we were going our separate way. I miss her...
I won't lie, travelling from Florida to California by plane and waiting so long at the airport just to see An Cafe perform was worth it.
Prom 2009 -
It was absolutely amazing~! The best night of my life even though I got in a fight with my mom about my dress. Simply put, I wanted a short dress but she wanted a long dress. She pissed me off pretty bad too. What got to me was that in the end she said "Get whatever you want. You're going to be the one wearing it." No shit. That's why I wanted to pick my own. I ended up getting a long hot pink dress. It was cute and everyone liked it but I was still furious about the whole ordeal. I even gave the dress to mom since I might never wear it again. All in all, it was really fun. We were in our group and Fallyn actually danced her ass off. In previous dance functions, she would never move from her spot because of her boyfriend. He was literally latched onto her at all times and didn't let her roam. I hate that guy.
...They had jumbo shrimp wrapped in bacon and a chocolate fountain. That's heavens food.
Finale of Nyappy - (Not literally the end of them, just their long tour.)
I forgot to mention An Cafe did their Finale of Nyappy concert in May. They were doing a live blog about it and I thought it was going to be a video showing us the concert in the comfort of our computers. I was highly disappointed when it was just pictures. Small ones at that. I wanted live footage. The good news, a new single is coming out in the fall and they are going to Budokan. I hear it's like the biggest thing for any band to play there and it's been An Cafe's dream to play Budokan after promising Bou they would make it there. Maybe they'll be nice enough to broadcast it live through youtube or something so we can all watch it because I sure don't have money to go all the way to Japan and I know other fans don't either.
Bayshore High School Graduate. May 30th, 2009 - Class of '09.
After four long years, I finally graduated high school~! I was actually a bit sad at the ceremony. I felt like I was growing up too fast and I was going through a state where I thought I wouldn't be able to love the things I do right now that I started so late on. For example, obsessing over An Cafe. Now that I'm no longer in high school I feel like I'm too old to be a fangirl or dress up in colorful clothes. I have responsibilities now. It's depressing to think about it...but I'm now heading for college. I won't start until fall or until I figure out what else is left to turn in so I'm fully registered. Such a process...Well other than that, I had a really cool graduation party. It was decorated so nicely it looked like a Sweet 15. My mom basically said that the party made up for the Sweet 15 I never had. I didn't really want one anyway and I was never really a big fan of parties, which leads to this...
My party was going really good but I didn't stay downstairs for very long when the music started playing and everyone was dancing. Drinking was involved as well and sometimes I don't like being in that ambience. Well, so far this couple that my mom invited got uber drunk and the wife started talking to a friend of my uncle's but she was using fowl language in front of little kids. And she was leaning in pretty close to the guy which her husband did not like (not to mention he was drunk as well). So long story short, they ended up arguing and the husband pulled his wife into the bathroom. His arm was around her neck with a glass mug in his hand ready to bash her face. Marisol (mom's friend) stepped in to stop the guy and the coward bit her hand! The guys there broke up the mess, the kids were downstairs watching and I had to get them back up there as they cried. Ugh, it was horrible. Apparently jealousy set in with the husband thinking that his wife kissed my uncle's friend. I went outside and told that guy straight up that there was no kissing but his words were "I'm not going to lie to you. I know what my eyes saw." ...You're drunk, obviously you're going to lie. I got frustrated that I ended up crying because those two ruined my party. The husband even took a bit at another one of my mom's friends, and that fight got vicious. Not only that, the husband called the cops. What a great thing for my uncle and his friend to see who flew down all the way from New York to see me graduate and for my Godmother to see after finally talking to her after 7 years. Well, I had to translate everything which is how I know all this happened. Again, I cried and my mom told me to stop in an atittude. I think that was the first time I ever glared at her with so much rage. Oh and she left to go party at a club right after all this finished, leaving me alone in the house crying out of rage. Diego was my only comfort that night since no one else provided it. But you know what they say...
"It ain't a party until the cops show up."

Bring it Fool
Happy April Fool's Day!
Yeah, the day that someone tries to play a little trick on you. Though some have epically failed like putting on the announcement that the math teacher had a doctor's appointment and is expecting triplets! ...That would've worked if she wasn't a month pregnant and it would've worked if she actually missed a day of school for the doctor's appointment, which she didn't have because we had her all last week and this week too. So that prank was a fail, hahaha. But I have to admit the Guidance Secretary got me today with a really simple trick. She said I had something on my arm and I flipped out thinking I had a bug on me. I had no bug -_- I think that the simplest tricks are the best ones to do on April Fool's Day instead of those big ones that are so obvious.
So it's been a while since I've updated. I'm still trying to get use to the fact that I have a blog, and it's common that my laziness gets the best of me. I actually have a few things I should've mention about a week ago.
I have a D in math (it's college level, leave me alone...) because I keep failing the quizzes and tests. It's to the point that I think my math teacher felt really bad that she gave me 40 points of extra credit to boost my grade up just a bit. Now I feel like I bought something with a credit card and I'm in debt with the math teacher. She said that I have to repay the 40 points of extra credit with either doing extra work or participate in class by answering questions and getting points that way. Is there a way to cancel my account so I don't have to repay the debt? Ha...
Speaking about debts, my senior fees are due Friday -_- but I have to settle a debt first with marching band. I owe $85 from a trip to Vero Beach that I apparently didn't pay. I paid that short, midget band director the $100 for the trip. How else would I have been able to go to Vero Beach then? Not only that, I can't find the check copy that says we paid. My mom and I checked with the bank but they found nothing. It took the lady a few days too so we found it pointless to go back and check another year since it was going to take another 3 or 4 days and my fees are due this Friday. So my mom has to pay the $85 and I have to pay my senior fees. I have to waste $90 on fees that only cover our cap & gowns, senior breakfast (which I might not even attend), and prom. No, that doesn't include paying off the prom ticket. The ticket is separate from the fees. So pretty much, they are stealing money from all the seniors. It's ridiculous that seniors have to pay $90 and some aren't even going to the breakfast. They expect us to pull $90 out of our asses when in reality, no one has that type of money due to the economy being so bad. I hate my school...I swear the prom tickets better be free because I still maintain a 3.5 GPA.
Now that I finished that rant, I think this has been a pretty good April Fool's Day. Well...other than my sunglasses breaking >_< I finally got the new album by An Cafe. It's the "An Cafe Harajuku Dance Rock CD/DVD" It's so awesome ^_^ The DVD contains 3 music videos: Summer Dive, My Heart Leaps For C, and AROMA. The videos are so clear and in a better quality than youtube~ I am a happy Cafekko right now o(・∀・)o
Haha, here comes another rant. Well...it's not really a rant but more of questioning other people’s mentality. There's a contest Maru Music is doing called "How Nyappy Are You?" and out of all the videos I've watched I heard the same line:
"An Cafe's music saved my life"
"Before listening to An Cafe, I was going through depression"
"I'm a happier person ever since I've listened to An Cafe"
...Should I feel pity or just think this is ridiculous? I mean, I know An Cafe's music is really happy and positive, and I'm in a better mood when I listen to them but to the point it has saved my life? I'm not saying these people are stupid and to be honest, I've never really been through depression at the age of 16-18. It's just that other people would think this is asinine. Trust me, I even asked a few of my friends. One of them even said "What?! That's ridiculous! They are just saying that to get attention." First impression, I thought the same thing. This is why I'm not much of a people person...Oh yeah, I was making fun of one of the contestants because she said "An Cafe" and "Cafekko" really funny.
Let's see, what more did I have? ...The An Cafe concert is in 11 days~! I'm freakin' excited and I know I'm going to be even more excited when the countdown hits to one week. Sammy is at the point where she has too much energy that she can't sleep XD I find it weird that there is not much to say about the concert...I'll probably think of it later.
I've been listening to the GazettE lately. More than An Cafe o_O Shh, don't tell An Cafe I'm cheating on them with the GazettE. But seriously, their music is really good. The ambience of their music is dark (hard rock type) unlike An Cafe, who is known for being happy and often turning to a serious side. Not only that the GazettE are HOT! I never knew Japanese guys could look so attractive and this is the first band that I'm having trouble picking out who is my favorite. I can't even narrow it down...
Well I finally ran out of things to say...
I'm going to listen to my new CD now~
Yeah, the day that someone tries to play a little trick on you. Though some have epically failed like putting on the announcement that the math teacher had a doctor's appointment and is expecting triplets! ...That would've worked if she wasn't a month pregnant and it would've worked if she actually missed a day of school for the doctor's appointment, which she didn't have because we had her all last week and this week too.

This is why I'm not much of a people person...Oh yeah, I was making fun of one of the contestants because she said "An Cafe" and "Cafekko" really funny.
Let's see, what more did I have? ...The An Cafe concert is in 11 days~! I'm freakin' excited and I know I'm going to be even more excited when the countdown hits to one week. Sammy is at the point where she has too much energy that she can't sleep XD I find it weird that there is not much to say about the concert...I'll probably think of it later.
I've been listening to the GazettE lately. More than An Cafe o_O Shh, don't tell An Cafe I'm cheating on them with the GazettE. But seriously, their music is really good. The ambience of their music is dark (hard rock type) unlike An Cafe, who is known for being happy and often turning to a serious side. Not only that the GazettE are HOT! I never knew Japanese guys could look so attractive and this is the first band that I'm having trouble picking out who is my favorite. I can't even narrow it down...
Well I finally ran out of things to say...
I'm going to listen to my new CD now~

Ugh...
I seriously hate being sick...
So last week I was starting to feel a little 'bleh' because I was sneezing and coughing a lot, and I kept waking up with what felt like a sore throat. That's how it was all last week. Saturday was different. I finally got a fever after having symptoms for the past five days. It was not fun...
Oh and recently, I got sick...again! I got sick last Saturday and now I'm sick again from Tuesday. Apparently, whatever I ate on Monday did not sit well with my stomach on Tuesday morning and I personally don't feel like going into details about it. I had to stay home on Tuesday and I pretty much slept that entire day. I didn't even go on the computer which is rare even when I'm sick. Not only did I have stomach pain, I didn't even want to eat anything. I swear I barely ate yesterday and I only ate school lunch today. I just want to stop getting sick...especially since April is getting close.
On a lighter note from mentioning April, the An Cafe concert is less than a month away~! Which is why I want to stop getting sick because I really want to go to California healthy and have fun at the concert. Also, Sammy can finally go after circling around with the decision. I'm so excited~! We can finally go to the concert together and see An Cafe right in front of us! This is the best graduation gift ever, and I'm definitely going to be taking a ton of photos. I really hope I'll be able to take decent pictures of An Cafe...and I really, really hope that Sam and I get the chance to meet them after the concert. The concert in Anaheim is going to be a memorable one for the Cafekkos there and An Cafe themselves because we're planning a lot of stuff to go down. Donald Ducks and doing the little dances! We'll make it feel like they are at home and that the Americans know them just as well.
Anyway, I'll probably talk more about the concert whenever I feel better. I need to go rest now.

Last Minute?
Hi! This is my first time blogging...well actually first time having a blog account. And guess what? The first entry is a rant to relieve the tension I've been feeling at school. Seriously, you should read this.
I do not like anything that's at the last minute, and I know some people don't like it either because it's the most frustrating thing on Earth. This week was FCAT testing which if anyone would even like to know, it's the Florida state test that every student takes until their Junior year of high school. As a senior I could have skipped those three days but I used more than half my absents...so I couldn't risk the chance of probably going to court. Anyway, one of the administrators (I have no clue what she does...) called me up to her office on Thursday. I wasn't the only one in her office though, another friend of mine was in there and two other guys that I've seen before but never talked to. Apparently, this little meeting was about the Engineering Program. She wanted us to fill out papers and permission slips to go to Tropicana for a program called Career Shadowing. To make it simple and short, we go to Tropicana where recent college graduates work and ask them a bunch of questions about engineering.
She was explaining all the stuff in the little handbook that was given to us and she pretty much didn't give us the option if we really wanted to go or not. I need an option because sometimes there are things that I don't want to attend to. She kept pointing me out too which is embarrassing and really annoying. It went down like this:
Mrs. Roberts - "Is transportation going to be a problem Tatiana?" "Do you have the proper dress attire Tatiana?" "We're on page two Tatiana."
...Is it against the law to duck tape an administrator's mouth? She never pointed out the three other guys in the room, only me.
The Career Shadowing is March 17th and she gave us the paper work March 12th, and she also expected that we all turn it in by March 13th. Hmm...that's all last minute things which I could have easily done but I didn't feel like it. The real reason I'm not attending is because I have to provide my own transportation. My mother cannot take me to Tropicana at 7:30am or pick me up at 2:30pm and I don't drive because we only have one car. The other students that are going, I barely know them and I'm not going to ask them for a ride.
This administrator is basically forcing me to go to Tropicana and trust me, I told her I could not attend the trip. She had the look of wanting to blow up on me because I am not going. She said to me "You have to go. You are required to attend. They are expecting you to be there." Oh really? That's great and what? Did you really think that would make me feel guilty and somehow attend? I told her I can't go due to transportation but apparently that didn't go through her head. She insisted to call my mom and talk to her about it. That's fucking disrespectful. What will that change? All she's going to get is pure yelling from my mom saying that I can't go. She asked for my mom's cell number and mine. That's what seriously pissed me off the most. How can she have the audacity to do that when I told her myself that I can't freaking attend the stupid trip. She is trying to force me to go and give me no other option. Yeah, because I can pull my schedule out of my ass and make room for her last minute wishes. Sorry I am no pushover and if I can't go that means I can't go! And before she screws me over, I already emailed the guy that's arranging the trip that I am unable to attend.
I even told my mom that if she gets a call from the school, don't pick up. I love my mom because she doesn't pick up her phone to unknown numbers and she also said that if the administrator keeps bugging me about this, she will go down to her office and tell her to back off. My mom is the type that you don't want to mess because she has such a strong attitude especially if it involves her kids. But all in all, my mom told me to just calm down and don't let it bother me. If there is any more problems, she'll go and handle it. I told my American Sign Language teacher (because she's so cool) about this whole ordeal and she told me that what the administrator is doing is disrespectful, and that she cannot force me to do something I do not want to do. I am no longer interested in engineering as I use to be and I'm only in the class just to get a grade. Plus, Tropicana is Industrial Engineering! If I wanted to be interested in engineering, it would be in Architecture. Tropicana has nothing to do with Architecture and I am not interested in that field anymore.
So there's my rant on that...
I need sleep...
