I've been out almost all through this weekend.
On Sat., I went to shopping to buy my clothes to prepare for the cold season. I spend lots of money...I have no idea how I'm gonna pay for them. haha..
I couldn't leave money for LANCOME mascara, so I compromised with a cheap mascara at a pharmacy...sob sob.

On Sunday, I met up with my friend and went to Akihabara! It was my first visit there!
I was quite impressed by those tons of electric stores. I followed my friend who is really into PCs and stuff, but I couldn't figure out what the products are used for...it was a very new world to me.
Of course, I saw lots of densha-otoko like men! They were all carrying backpacks and needless to say, their shirts were inside their trousers. :) They seemed very lively and happy to hang around there.

I pretty much enjoyed Akihabara too. Although I got almost sick of too many people, I enjoyed picking cute cos-pre costumes! I really wanna get one of those. :) Actually, I bought cat ears...lol I like them.
In the evening we had dinner in Shinjuku and tasty cocktails.

On Monday, I met up with another friend and went to Shinagawa. We ended up in watching the movie "Stealth" which was okay! The premier-seat I took for the first time in my life was gorgeous. The seat was so soft and big! and bright purple...lol
At night, we had such fantastic dinner at Shiodome. It was really really gorgeous. The nightview and dinner itself were very nice.

Today, I worked at the full speed. lol
I didn't notice it was noon until I heard the bell rang.
I still have to hurry up...otherwise I cannot finish all this work by the deadlines. *crying*

First of all....Tigers won the championship!!
Yaaaay. They were really really strong this year.
Last weekend, I went to Jingu stadium to see the game with my friends.
It was such a great game!! We got really excited, and of course Tigers won the game to Swallows.

All through this week, I've been soooo sleepy...even after a long night sleep, I could hardly open my eyes in the morning...they refuse to work these days...hah.

I listened to the new CD of Southern All Stars.
It's pretty good! :)
I wanna go to their live again...

It's gonna be rain this weekend. sigh

I went to omotesando to see my friend at college, but she didn't show up...she sent me an email 10 minutes after the decided time, saying she cannot come...so I asked another friend of mine to have some tea with me. It was fun. :)

Today I worked a lot...I need to go to bed earlier.
There was a monthly "zentai-meeting" today, at which the president speaks what's going on in the company and the relation with the outside world. It seems like our company is doing good, and trying to expand the fields.
Ah, and our "corporate song" was released!! I mean, it's not on sale of course, but yeah, famous composer and lyricist made it. The base lyric was made by one employee. Every employee had a right to make a lyric and apply. I didn't, though...
But if you're selected, you win a million yen!!! Actually, top ten employees who were selected for good lyrics won 300,000 yen each. Amazing, huh? Our president is that kind of man...
The song which was sung and recroded by the group "circus" was really really nice. :) I dunno how much money was spent on making this song but...it's okay cuz it's a nice song!

Hahh, Im tired...I changed the lighting on the ceiling so Im pretty much tired...zzz

BTW, the drawing on the right is drawn by me in Mie prefecture a few weeks ago. It's drawn on a coaster by a pencil. Sorry about the terrible resolution!

I went to Izu this weekend.
It was a fun trip, cuz the weather was very beautiful which is unusual to us.

On Saturday, we went to koibito-misaki but it was
too hot to walk a long way to the cape...
I sweated real a lot.
The inn I stayed was a small minshuku.
At night, I enjoyed tasty meal, nice hot spring, and walking along the quiet&beautiful beach.
On Sunday, we left the inn and visited Hagachi-zaki, where lots of monkeys live.
As I don't like monkeys much, I enjoyed seeing the spectacular view and very beautiful transparent sea. The ocean around Izu is really beautiful. The color of the sea is blue and you can see the bottom easily. There were lots of tiny blue fish down there.
After that, I went to Irozaki where I've wanted to go. The lighthouse I was expecting to be gorgeous was kind of a humble one. But it was a nice lighthouse. The view from the cape was really stunning.
After that we headed to Shimoda city. After having lunch, we went up to the mountain by cable car. The top of it gave us such gorgeous views of the city and the ocean. Shimoda city is famous for Perry who came from America by black ship. I could sense that it was a very nice city.
As we got tired, we headed back home. On the way we stopped by at Shuzenji and enjoyed a nice hot spring of Yugawara to get rid of the fatigue.

Today I had lunch with my old friend whom I used to teach English as a part-time job. She is always funny and outgoing. I enjoyed talking (mostly listening) with her over Italian and latte at Starbacks.
Ahh, we gotta start working real hard this week!
I've got lots of stuff to do and decide...

translation hell
Mood:  lazy
Today I took a day-off.
When I woke up in the morning, my eyes were dead...and I didn't feel like going to the company to type in front of PC for 8 hours.
Soooo I decided to sleep again, and sent an email to my boss and went back to bed...zzz

I woke up at noon and had branch, and then started cleaning my messy messy room.
I washed the sheets, pillow case, and even carpet!
I did vacuuming, wiping, etc etc...Im tired.

When I was cleaning, I found that my cactus is dead--!! I thought it might be shrinking these days, but I never thought it's dead... When I touched it today, it was soft like a sponge....sob sob...
I dunno what was wrong..sigh

Recently I'm looking for a car to buy!
I want to buy yellow VW Lupo, which ended its manufacture last July...so I definitely gotta get it.
But there are few yellow ones, so I'm having difficulties finding a good one.

cute huh??
It looks pretty, and runs quite fast! I'm not a "hashiri-ya" though...

I'm searching the "carsensor" sites everyday..hmm

On Saturday, I went to my friend's place to discuss the plan for the annaul? alumni. We talked about other stuff as well over Korean BBQ, which was quite tasty!
On Sunday, I went to Yokohama and saw the movie "Charlie and Chocolate...something". Listen, it's a strange movie!! You really shouldn't see it...it's just...weired, and not made to entertain the audience. I think Tim Burton did what he wanted to do too much, which is not interesting to other people at all.
I admit that the world he created looks great and has quite an atmosphere, but......it's boring and bizzare....very hard to give a comment...

cycling cycling
Mood:  special
On Sunday I went to Izu-Shuzenji Cycling Center.
We rode normal type bicycles and a bicycle for two people. It was fun, and we sweated quite a lot.
After that, we enjoyed a cycling boat in the pond.
There were tons of carp in the pond..as soon as they found our boat, they started rushing toward us and kept swimming in parallel with our boat..it was weird. They're not 5 or 6, but more than 30 I bet...

We went to the spa nearby and washed all the sweat and dusts from our body. After drinking a bottle of coffee-gyu-nyu-, we headed home.

On Saturday, we went to Yokohama and had tasty Chinese, enjoyed the beautiful night view from O-sanbashi, as usual... It was a humid but nice night.

Job started again...sigh. These days I dun wanna go to school...oops, company--.

resort!

Loooooong time no diary....I'm sorry. :(
I'd like to thank some of my friends for urging me to write again. :)

I've been struggling with lots of translations...and I still am. I'll be like this until mid. September. help me-----

Anyway, for the weekends, I went to Kashikojima in Mie prefecture with my friends in high school.
The hotel was so gorgeous and fascinating. The interior, exterior, pool, guest room, gardens...everything was beautiful and nicely decorated. We talked a lot about what has happened to our lives over lunch, and then headed to Daio-zaki toudai. The lighthouse was so beautiful and the view from the top of it was spectacular. The ocean was so wide and beautiful that the scene and wind up there washed my mind clean. We all were healed in mind... After that, we drew the picture of the lighthouse, as that lighthouse was famous as a painter's favorite.

In the evening, we had dinner and then talked talked talked...about my problem and other stuff. I really appreciate for their advice.
Next day, we checked out and headed to the aquarium nearby. We enjoyed wathing cute penguins and lots of fish. We even enjoyed touching a small shark...the skin of it was soft like a gummy bear.

It was a so much fun trip! although it took 5.5 hours to get home...sob sob.

I'm gonna take a shower and go to bed earlier to prepare my body and brain for tomorrow!

fireworks

The three-day holiday is going to finish...

On Sunday I went to Yokohama to see the fireworks.
As we suspected, there were tons of people(dunno if ppl are counted by tons though) there, and we got so tired...that we left there before watching 10 fireworks. After all, we had tasty Indonesian dinner and headed back with shirokuma-icecream.

Today I went to have my hair cut, (which ended up in a shorter style than I expected...) and went shopping.

Yawn...today I saw two DVDs I bought recently.
"Legally Blonde" and "Rain Man". These are among my favorites...hehe

long time...

Hi there. Sorry I didn't write here so long.
Lots of things have happened...happy ones and sad ones as well.

Anyways, at the beginning of this month, my parents and sister came to Tokyo to visit me. We all stayed at Marunouchi-hotel and enjoyed travelling Tokyo. We had tasty lunch at Taimei-ken in Nihonbashi. The restaurant is famous for its omu-raisu, which costs almost 2000yen!! Just a plate of omu-raisu for 2000yen...yeah unbelievable, but it's soooo good. You should go there and try omu-raisu, and salad (50yen but amazingly tasty!) definitely.
After that we enjoyed shopping at Coredo, and had wonderful Italian dinner in Aoyama. Since I had such a big lunch, I couldn't eat all the dinner. What a shame....
As it was only one-day trip, we couldn't have much time together, but I had a very good time with them. Only my sister stayed one more day, so we went to Yokohama and enjoyed shopping a lot. In the evening we had dinner with my bf. I was nervous at first, but it ended up in having a nice time. She stayed overnight at my place and went back home next day. I realized again that it's so nice to have a sister. I like talking with her and hanging out with her. :) cuz she listens to my stupid stories seriously and enjoys spending time with me (I hope?). I wish she lived near my place.

I also went to Eno-shima for the first time two weeks ago. It was such a nice place! There are lots of nice old stores and small restaurants, the cool lighthouse, and you can see Mt. Fuji and Eboshi-iwa together. There was a nice wind blowing, and we had tasty seafood. Enoshima is famous for "shirasu", so we had nama-shirasu-don and other stuff. It was yummy! We spent some time just sitting on the bench, feeling the wind from the ocean, thinking about nothing...it was such a relaxing time.
On the way to home, we dropped by at the onsen where we always go in Hakone, and washed off all the dusts and warmed up ourselves.

Well, despite these fun weekends, my weekdays are busy these days. I gotta finish the long specification now I'm working on, until Friday. After that, I'll be kinda free hopefully.
Damn, my English sucks...(excuse my language). I'm sorry if you cannot figure out what Im saying!

Hey there.

I took a day off yesterday.
I was going to wake up around noon but I woke up kinda early. So I did laundry and other chores and went out for shopping.

I bought a pair of sneakers and some clothes...then came back home and took a nap.

Yarn...I'm tired...
