greek
Yesterday I went to the movie "My big fat Greek wedding". It was good. The actors and actresses were fabulous. Joey from 'NSYNC was there too, but he wasn't that noticable.
Anyway it was such a fun movie. You won' regret paying money for it. It's worth 1700 yen, I guess.

I'm really interested in the upcoming movie "Confession" directed by George Crooney. I love the actor featuring in it, whose name is Sam...something. He was the bad guy in Charlie's Angels 1. Also the movie "Down with Love" featuring Lennie Selviger and Euan Mcleager? seems so nice. can't wait.

Tonite I played tabletennis after work again, like more than an hour. I sweated real a lot! Now it's become one of my routines. :)

On Friday my mom came to my place and stayed overnight here, cuz there was an open-house at my company. On Saturday we met my dad and we headed to our company. My parents looked around our company and saw lots of my colleagues. There were really a lot of ppl there, almost 600 I heard.
After that we went to Ohte-machi and stayed at Palace Hotel. We shopped at Maru-biru and had dinner at a German restaurant around there. On the next day we went to the furniture store where foreign ppl living in Tokyo come and buy the things for their houses. There were very nice pieces of furniture, which were kinda cheap! I bought a photoframe for 1200yen. I love it.
Then we went to see what Roppongi-hills is like. well....it was like a hell, not the hill. How could so many ppl gather there?! I don't wanna go there anymore...just got exhausted. We escaped from there by taxi to Ote-machi again. I love the Ohte-machi region a lot.
There was a "Dean and Deluka" coffee shop near the hotel. Its interior was quite good, and the pastry we had was incredibly tasty!!! it's one of the best pastry I ever ate. Coffee was just normal though. The food there, just unbelievable! I suppose Felicity is working part-time at Dean and Deluka, N.Y. in the drama "Felicity". I used to love the uniform and a cute cap there.
On Sunday morning, when we went to have breakfast there, there were beautiful models and camera men shooting photoes for the magazines or something. The model woman was too thin but cute, and the model men were really handsome! I couldn't help taking picture in secret. I will upload it in here some time soon. You will like him too!:)

AIR TALK

It's sad that the air is the only
thing we share.
No matter how close we get to each other,
there is always air between us.

It's also nice that we share the air.
No matter how far apart we are,
the air links us.

gum
I bought a new toothbrush tonite. It's a brush of GUM with a tiny brush head. It's too tiny...actually... It takes quite a long time to brush all my teeth. Might be good though.

I had a real hot ra-men for dinner tonite. It was so hot that I sweated a lot, then my throat got better! Chillies work!

brrr
It's kinda chilly today. My throat has been feeling sore for a couple of days...and I feel cold too. I think I caught a cold! I took lots of vitamin C tablets even at office. Hope it gets better soon.:(

Geez, I dun have much to write today. I didn't cook much, didn't read much, didn't work much. ...oops.
I did work, I think. hehe

Yesterday I got up at like 10:30 and was staying at home cleaning the rooms, listening to music, washing sheets. When I saw the clock it was late evening, and I realized I hadn't gone out even a step, so I decided to go to the movie, which is not too popular. I chose Blue Crush and used the free ticket the Asahi-shimbun employee gave me. I got a coffee at Starbucks and went into the big theatre, where...not a single people was seated! My seat was just right in the middle of the row and straight front of the screen! I felt like I was the king. Some ppl came in before the movie started, but I guess there were no more than 15 ppl seated.
The movie itself was quite good. The surf scenes were specutaclar! Its story was nothing new, but I enjoyed it pretty much.:)
Good for cooling down the heat of summer.

damn hot
It was hot like a hell this morning. I rode bicycle to the office for about 15minutes stopping by at 7-11 and also Lawson. I sweated real a lot but it dried up in the air-conditioned office, then after work I played table tennis in the storage of the company with one of my colleagues and again I sweated A LOT...
I'm a person who sweats a lot more than normal ppl do, so I feel uncomfy.:(
As soon as I got home I took a shower and felt even like reborn! and then I went out to Nomikai and got soaked in the smoke of tobacco...cough cough

still gaining weight
My mom sent me a box full of food she cooked. I really appreciate it...I look almost like a pig...

It's a happy happy Friday tomorrow. It's weird that a week really flies, while an hour at office seems forever!

These days I drink coffee after lunch. I choose whatever I wanna drink such as Russian coffee, Vienna coffee, frozen something etc. etc. from lots of menu. (btw, I can't tell the difference between Russian and Vienna ones besides the chocolate sprinkles on top of Russian)
Sounds nice huh? but every coffee I order is extreeeeemely sweet! I think especially the bottom liquid is actually burning my throat...I can't even drink it up. The cream on top is really good though...
see, this is making me fat too.

mondays and rainy days always make me...
blue, or dull?

I wonder why on rainy days it's so hard to get up my mind. I was really really sleepy all day today. gosh.
My boss is sitting just next to me!

So I sneaked out of work and took a nap in the restroom...couldn't help doing it.

For dinner 4translators gathered and had Rei-men together. One brought a bottle of wine, the other cookies, I some eclair?? dunno how to spell though. anyway it was all tasty and fun!! They are all such good ppl. :)

Tomorrow is Tuesday! It's gonna be a loong day..

the bronze doggy
I went to Shibuya for the first time today! I met Aki-chin, who used to study at the same language school in Boston. We have been very good&close friends since. She just finished the master course at the college in Boston and came back to Japan a few weeks ago.
The way to Shibuya from Isehara was quite long but I managed to reach the famous statue of the dog, Hachi-ko! There were tons of ppl, some are dancing, others waiting, talking, walking,...
I met her and we walked around Shibuya, such as Center street, Spain street, etc etc. As we both like Korean food, we had jim-dak together, which was pretty hot but tasty. She showed me lots of pictures of her graduation ceremony. In them she was actually shining in a beautiful black robe and a hat, surrounded by many friends. I even felt envious. She also adviced me about my future plans and it helped me a lot.
After that we looked into some clothes stores and bought a shirt for each. It was a bargain!

I'm now listening to the CD of jazz saxophone I borrowed from my friend. It's a very soft and slow music, makes me relaxed...and leads to sleep..:) I like this a lot.

entertainment
Who could name the movie "Mini-mini daisakusen"?
It's one of the worst names for movies ever...nobody would wanna see it.
However, I did, last night!! and it was hilarious.
First, the actors in it were all splendid! They are chosen almost perfectly. They are not as popular and famous as Tom Cruise or Leonard di Caprio, but they are truly good.
The story is quite simple, lots of fun, no romatic scenes. It's very very entertaining for me! I even wanna get a DVD or something. It's better than Matrix Reloaded with respect of the simplicity and entertainability.(dunno such a word exists or not..)
The original name for the movie is "The Italian Job", which is much cooler, don't you think?

Tonite I went out with two of my colleagues to play the pool. It was my first time and I had much difficulty in figuring out how to lead the white ball, but it was pretty much fun!! And the balls are shiny, hard and kinda cute in lots of colors. :)

I wanna be better!
