Don't Drink More Than You Can Handle!!!

You know I'm a cheap date. But actually, I don't know how much my boyfriend can drink. Whenever we go out drinking, he is temperate in drinking. He never gets drunk. However, if he gets a drink after work with his co-workers he gets tanked up and misses the last train too often!!! And what is worse, he did it again yesterday and came home at dawn! What the heck is he doing?!?!

I couldn't sleep well at night for worry since his phone was out the service area, so I woke up late! In addition, I forgot my iPod at home... At work, there was a call from a customer who needs a help for about half an hour! Damn! It's not my day!!!

We have a lot of alcohol at home. I received some wines, liqueurs, shochus, and sakes! Also those beers have arrived. He can drink at home, you know!!! I understand drinking out is something different, though...

Anyway, I won't forgive him yet!

Tonight I have hula class.
I hope my mood gets better by this evening X(

Good luck!!!

Chocolate?

Hi there!
What do you think the image is?! I bought it because it was on sale at 70% off!!!

The image file name is the answer ;)


It has been raining since yesterday. The rain will last till Friday. We have lower tempreture, which is good! Also, I can wear my new rain boots that I purchased in NY. Yay! Actually, I bought another pair at COACH without hesitation since I liked the design ;) I regret that I bought the other pair before I found them...

Take it easy!!!

Candy Game Machine

The temp these days is around F90 (32C), with high humidity!!! It's like a sauna outside. Too tired to take a walk. The weather in NY was really moderate and dry. I wish we have a weather like there...

Anyway, on Sunday, my boyfriend and I passed in front of the game parlor and I found a candy game machine with a pile of chocolate bars almost dropping in. I asked my boyfriend to try once (not spending my money, he-he!) but he scooped only one candy, so it didn't help. Then I tried once, but I couldn't scoop any... We tried for about 5 times and then the pile leaned on the glass... We just thought it was hopeless, so we stopped playing.

I didn't really want the chocolate bars but why the game so attracting!!!

K-1 WORLD MAX 2009 World Championship Tournament

Do you like K-1?

K-1 is a martial arts fighting sport which fuses centuries of tradition from martial arts such as karate, kung fu, tae kwon do and kickboxing (the "K") into a thoroughly modern and electrifying spectator sport, to determine the single best stand-up fighter in the world (the "1").

Until I quote this, I didn't know what K-1 actually is. Very interesting.

Anyway, today, my new hula CD arrived, so I was looking forward to practicing hula. But unfortunately, there is K-1 WORLD MAX 2009 broadcast from 9PM (30min later)... My boyfriend is looking forward to watching it, so I ended up giving up practicing tonight. I believe Super Fight (Masato VS Tatsuya Kawajiri) gonna be exciting but none of the others X( Why boys like such a fighting sport. I wish we have more rooms at our home... (jo's bathroom is super fine!!!)

I will listen to the hula music in the tab. Thanks for the juke tower, I still have hope to enjoy! Ha-ha!!!

Worst Captchas of All Time

I don't think I can pass this...


Hmm...

We expect rainy and cloudy weather for the next couple of days.
I hope the rainy season ends soon...

Bye for now :)

OLYMPUS PEN E-P1: Micro Four Thirds Camera

Don't you think it's interesting?! It's a pocket-sized SLR (single-lens reflex) that takes pictures as well as an SLR!

This article was very informative.
Olympus Pen E-P1 Preview, June 2009, Simon Joinson

However, it is way too expensive!!!
Olympus offered the special price (including the lens and the memory card) to the first 100 club members, but it was at about $1000...
Plus, you need to get viewfinder and flash if needed, since they are left out to keep it as small as possible X(


Anyway, it is scheduled to go on sale on 7/3, so I will check it out at the electronics retail stores ;)

Fuckin' Train Delay!!!

I think today isn't my day...

Once in a long while, there is a huge train delay at Odakyu line. This morning at around 6:30, someone caused a fatal accident. Consequently, our train delayed for about one hour and a half. At the time I arrived at the station at 7:40, the train platform was still packed with passengers all the way to the edge. Most people were waiting for an express train, so I decided to take the local one, which seemed better... but that turned out to be a wrong decision... The local train was so slow that 3 express trains got ahead of it X( I will never ever take the local! Sucks!!!

Anyway, I got to the office on time... but I am tired now.

Peace!!!

Gym Workout and Hula Report

I go to gym for about an hour almost every day after work since I became a member last year. Everyday, I do more than 20 minutes of aerobic exercise (mainly using step machine) and do muscle training every alternate day to get optimal results within a limited amount of time.

After 4 months, I gained muscle (gained weight) but my fat didn't burn at all, so I was kind of shocked. However, after another 4 months, I lost 2kg (4.4lbs) for sure! I gained 3kg (6.6lbs) of muscle and lost 4kg (8.8lbs) of fat, which is an ideal result. By the way, to build lean muscle tissue, I take MUSASHI K'UN (image on the left) immediately after exercise. I started to take this recently and realized it helps a lot! By the way, I don't follow a restrictive diet because I want to eat whatever I want to! Maybe this is why I am getting this result this slow... Now, I need to train my core muscles, which is my weakest part. Plus, I have lot other tasks, but I think I can do it at my own pace :)

My hula class is going to end this month. The class is held every Thursday night, but I practice once a day at home. Practice makes perfect! Now I can dance one song ;) I think I will take this class again the next term!

Yesterday, I found a pair of cute rain boots at the local shoe store. It was raining hard this morning, so I readily wore it. How amazing!!! You can walk in a puddle ;) Ha-ha!!!

Oops. The rain stopped and we have a clear sky now in the afternoon... Don't I look funny wearing rain boots?!

Never mind! See you!!!

Jessie Steele: Bib Josephine - Sweethearts Apron

On Sunday, while I was window-shopping in Ginza with my boyfriend, I found this cute apron (Jessie Steele: Bib Josephine - Sweethearts Apron) at a department store. The lady at the store said Jessie Steele aprons have been featured on Desperate Housewives. Also, Brown & Pink Polka Dot Apron was worn by a Japanese fashion model. How attractive!!! However, the price was 6300yen (almost $63), so I didn't get it on that day. When I got home, I searched online and found it was sold at 3600yen (almost $36), including shipping fee! I will definitely get it at this price!!! But not now... I'll first ask my boyfriend to get it for me. Ha-ha ;)

It is cloudy here today. The rainy season has begun X)
I think I'd better get rain boots beforehand, before the apron!

Nobuyuki Tsujii: Cliburn Competition 2009 Winner

Yesterday, I saw on the news that the blind Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii shared first prize with Chinese pianist Zhang Haochen at the 13th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition on 6/7.


I'm not a pianist, so I can't comment on his talent, but I think his work touches the hearts of people. I always think that the true artist has the sense to convey a message and create some kind of impression on people. How amazing. His performance was impressive. Too beautiful for words.

I learned a lot from him!

I found his video at YouTube! I hope the page is accessible...
Also, I found one when he was 12 years old, playing Chopin! Amazing!

Does the Voice Age?!

This is something interesting.

Sometimes, I feel I'm old when I bubble over or talk with young people and realize my tone of voice is low... Haven't you ever experienced this?

I just searched the internet and found that our voice also age!!!

Atrophy of vocal muscles causes aging!
To keep your voice young, we need to talk a lot with different people, using the voice properly by avoiding apneic voice production. Which means we need to excersize our vocal cords like we exercise our body! Also, stretching around the neck will prevent the atrophy of vocal muscles.

I knew that we can excercise muscles of facial expression to keep our face young, but not the voice!!!

We're expecting rain here until Sunday morning... I hope it really clears up by then, since we are going out for a dinner to celebrate our anniversary. I will write about it later ;)

See you next week!!!
