$$$
I'm spending TOO much money...((crying))
Shame on me!!!

What a stupid woman I am...am I forgetting
why I'm working in here?!

We are going to Disney sea in 2 wks...so Im gonna spend even more money-----

It's sad...but I'm a little looking forward to
seeing Donald Duck actually...hehe

jazzy days
I'm now listening to Roy Haynes Trio. It's so cool.:)

My boss flew to Silicon Valley for business this morning. The rest of this week will be liberated! But I wish I could go too...mmm

I lit the aroma candle of Lemon Pie...it smells so sweet that makes me relaxed.. It doesn't really match the jazz music though.

I'm planning to buy a comfy little sofa for my room. I need something to sit on besides these cushions.
I'm looking for a ivory/camel/cream color sofa with smooth cotton fabric. Of course at a low price...with high quality. hehe

Last Saturday I went to Yurakucho with Akiko to see the stage of STOMP. After having lunch we headed to the Tokyo International Forum? and the show was really cool. The guys of about 7 including 3 women, had amazing senses of rhythm and motion. I originally like drum and bass music, so it was very interesting as STOMP was totally about drum and percussion performance. I've always wanted to learn tap dance in fact...since the day I saw the stage of Tap Dogs years ago. They were truly COOL as well.

After saying good-bye to Akiko, who went shopping with her friends, I bought a pair of pants at SHIPS nearby.
Know what? Wearing jeans is prohibited at my company! even though we have uniforms...it's not even allowed to wear them on the way to the office. It's rediculous that they even take photos who wear jeans and dye their hair bright brown. I think our president went crazy or something. (shhhh)

weekend
I can't help being surprised how fast every weekend flies. Gotta go to office again tomorrow!

On Friday I played ping-pong after work with Ume-chan, with whom I play a lot these days. After playing about 1.5hr, I went home and went out to drink with other friends at 10pm to 1:30. It was fun.
Saturday was the BIG day for me!
I went to Yokohama International stadium for...a concert of Southern All Stars! ((applause))
It was really really really fun. They played lots of old songs as well as their newest ones. I got crazy there. I had always wanted to go, at least once before I die, then my sis got the tickets and my little dream came true just like that!
I wanna go again...I think I'm being addicted.
I got home before 11pm and had some drinks in the room on the 1st floor. We have a common room, so-called a community room in our apartment. It's the room provided by our company, for gathering and drinking there. It's a very big room with a very big liquid crystal display TV with tall speakers and a woofer, a fridge, vending machines, tables and cushions. It's really comfy...so I drank until 4am last night...
and today, I went to Omote-sando to have my hair cut. After that I walked around there, then I saw Miyake-kun of V6 interviewing the pedestrians. He was kinda short but cute looking guy.:)

zansho
It got really hot here in Kanto area too. I don't know why, but I'm losing my apetite! I couldn't eat my obento all today...This is a chance to get skinny. :) But I had a big cup of Banana Moca Cooler from the cafeteria of company...

The guy living in the room just under mine, is making something with a hammer.kinda noisy!:I

On weekends I went to Yokohama studiam with my old friend in kindergarden! but it was toooo crowded. Even though we had tickets, they didn't let us in! The ticket we had was for any day of 3days and it was not accepted when crowded too much...and Tigers won that night!!! geez.
As we had nothing to do, we just had dinner and said good bye. I'm sure most of the audiences there were temporary Tigers fans...damnit.

Late at that night, I went to the movie with my friend and saw "Confession of the Dangerous mind". It was pretty good inspite of a poor reputation.
Sam Rockwell was cool.

I'm getting hungry...ggg

back in here
I came back! There was a terrible traffic jam on the highway and it took 1.5hr while it normally takes only 1hr from the airport to Atsugi. The worse thing was that the guy who seated just next to me smelled like alcohol...

It's much cooler here than Kansai. there's almost 10degrees difference!

2 days ago I saw the movie "HERO" with Hana. It was a really nice movie. The spirit itself was really cool. Each assasine was truly cool.
and the colors and sound are harmonized very well, especially the sound of raindrop was so nice.
The costumes looked great also.
I liked it a lot!

I gotta go to work tomorrow. My frige is empty so I gotta go to the grocers after work. Wait, isn't my wallet empty too...?

Animatrix
The show introducing Animatrix is on TV right now. Geez, it looks great..the animation is amazing..!
I'll definitely get it.

Today I met my friends in highschool and had lunch together at BIGOT in Nigawa. It was fun. :) It's always good to see them and talk about how the life of each is.

It looks like it's gonna rain soon...I heard there's gonna be a firework tonite at Inagawa. I hope I can see it from here...maybe not.

retro futuristic, nice word! It was just on TV. hehe

Well, I wanna go out somewhere! Wanna go shopping!..with few money...unfortunately.

Kyoto
It's a Obon season. We all went to our family's grave in Otani-reien in Kyoto. After that we had lunch at Hanamikoji-dori, which was really tasty, and my sis and I had a Japanese dessert at Komori in Gion. We had Shiaratama-pafe both. Of course it was extremely good...mmm

After we came back to Takarazuka, we all went to our dog, Tom's little grave up in middle of the hill. He passed away in late April, only 2 days before my birthday. We all loved him so much that we prayed and cleaned his small place. While doing that, a brown cat suddenly came over and greeted us. He was cute...it was as if he was greeting on behalf of Tom.

I have to go back to Kanagawa soon...damn...

Kobe
Yesterday I went out to Kobe with my mother. It was a lot of fun! I got a pair of shoes, a bag, and a summer knit, all of them were on bargain of course. We had tasty cakes at Daniel in Daimaru. The fig cakes we ate was really good, not too sweet.
As we got tired, we headed home and I made pasta for dinner. It was good. :)

I'm enjoying the tv programs in Kansai...totally different in many ways.
getting hungry...wonder if there's something to eat...

back home!!
I got back home yesterday! yaay.
But the typhoon was terrible...I managed to reach the airport thanks to my friend, but the plane I was going to get wasn't arrived yet, so I waited and waited...eating osushi for lunch...then one and a half hours later, finally passesengers were allowed to get on board. and 30minutes later, it took off. It was already past 9pm when I got home by my mother's car. 2 hrs later than the expected time! Aaaanyways I am lucky to at least get home. There's surely no place better than home. mmm

These days I enjoy myself watching DVDs in my room, sometimes inviting a coupld of friends.
I got "Jack", "Edward Scissorhands", "Bagdad Cafe"...all my favorite. but the one I got just for trial was awfully boring...so boring that I almost cried. It's "The magnificient seven". I expected it to be a good movie..the guys in it were all "magnificient" looking though!:)
and the movie, "Pirate of Carribean" was..also kinda boring for me. I think it's for kids. but Johnny Depp was great.

I can't wait to see "HERO"! I gotta call Hana...

angels
Charlies Angels 2 I saw yesterday was a lot of fun. It didn't make me feel the time o 2hrs at all. I think it's even better than the first one.

and I got a small DVD player finally. I bought 5 DVDs from few choices a couple of days ago. But all I got are very nice, my fav movies.:)
The image is far more beautiful and clear than VHS.
I looove it.
