japan is dying

first, please read this article. http://abcnews.go.com/m/blogEntry?id=16724822&sid=7623874&cid=7623874&p=2 i still cannot believe what happened and is happening here. are these people are insane?! they are not even human. i am extremely furious about these teachers and school and the board of education and can't even explain how i feel. they are just trying to protect themselves. they are not even thinking how the boy felt and why he had to conduct suicide. they are meaningless in this world. as long as this kind of stupid people are alive here, i think japan is dying. i am utmost depressed.

Beastie Boys Forever

i love beastie boys. i know it's too late to mention his death but still can't believe one of the best MCs in this world has passed away. rest in peace MCA. hope he is still rapping in a peace place.

Daughters

i've been in love with this song ever since i heard it for the first time.

if my baby is a girl, i'll sure play this for my future-hubbie and her everyday.

"fathers be good to your daughters

daughters will love like you do

girls become lovers who turn into mothers

so mothers be good to your daughters"

Yuri Kochiyama

my BFF in america told me there was a Japanese American woman who fought for the rights with Malcolm X.

I never knew about her.

so i googled and read some her articles. i was inspired. she is the one who represented being Japanese outside of Japan.

thank you Domonique for sharing the video with me.
great to know. :)

and here's a music video by Seattle's Hip Hop group, Blue Scholars.
it's called Yuri Kochiyama. they made a song for this lady.
thanks again nique!

2005/2006

i was watching 2005 and 2006 Billboard Top 100.

every single song reminded me of memories in the year!

i was a high school student in 2005 and 2006. aww i miss the teenage days so much. every day was just fun.

you know music's power? music always reminds you of everything. what you were doing, who you were with, where you were... you remember when you listen to the song.

i guess that's one of the reasons why music never dies. people have memories with songs. good memories, bad memories, whatever. it just brings you back everything.

that's why i love music.

24th b'day filled with love

august 20th was my 24th b'day!
fortunately, it was saturday. LUCKY!! so i spent the whole weekend with my man<3

let me just say this it was definitely sweetest b'day ever!!!!! omg he's the best.
he treated me so so so sweetly...

he cooked a full-course meal for me!! he is sucha great cook and the meal was so damn delicious!!!

i've never felt this way. maybe he's the one.

i appreciate that i have him in my life as a special person. i'm in love. i love him and want make him happy.

WOW i'm not a really girlie girl and never ever thought i'd feel this way!

hmm i don't know. maybe i'm blind now. :P

but i wanna shout out!!! "I'M HAPPY!!!!" hahaha



the song from the weekend os of course.... ;) haha

1+1>2

omg these past a few weeks went soooooo fast and busy!!!!

party, bar drinking, club hopping, wine party, short trip to Hakone by myself, celebrating my bf's b'day, blind group date (lol), lunch with my ex-roommie, and spending a nite with bf!


i wanna talk about the conversation with my ex-roommie. (we shared a dorm room back in the states!)

we were having a lil coffee time and talking about relationships and guys and stuff. u know, it's pretty much girls talk.lol

and we found out we have the same idea that "1 plus 1 should be more than 2."

we don't want a type of relationships spoiling each other, or one depending on the other too much, or chaining each up.

getting in a relationship means, one having his/her own backgrounds, thoughts, and life and the other having completely different things share everything.
that is why, it should be more than 2. not 2, or not need to say -.

we want a relationship that encourages, inspires, and enhances both.



i hope this relationship with my bf is going to be like that.

since i'm in a mood of loving somebody, here are my fav sweet songs!

Lily

i've got a new goal. i want to be a lady who goes well with lilies. i wanna be like a lily.

a lily can stand without depending on others and absolutely beautiful by herself. i wanna be like that.


ok this is why i thought so.
the other day, i realized that i had been going to a wrong way as a woman.
guys don't see me as a girl and don't treat me well. i didn't why but i do now.

i can't love a man if he doesn't love me. i mean i can only love a man who loves me. because... i'm scared. scared of being hurt by loving somebody more than he does to me. i don't think i can change this.

however, i had NOT made effort to get loved. i realized that that is why guys don't see me as a girl. i was like "ok, this is me, myself, and i. i'm not gonna change myself. so accept and love me." how selfish is that.

i want my ppl how i'm gonna change. you'll see ;) and hopefully the one will find me soon!!

Summer Breeze

it's summer everyone!
summer is my season cuz i was born in August. so yes i love summer more than other seasons.

what i'm excited for in summer is BEACH!!!! we can be naked! haha no jk. :P we can wear biniki and jump into the sea!!! that's the best part of summer for me!

but sadly, i don't think i should do that this year cuz of the nuclear-ed water. it's so sad... but maybe i can go to the japan sea or Okinawa or pools.

i haven't got bikini for this year yet. i'm considering getting the black lacy one! but gotta lose weight....lol gotta be like jessica alba!!!

get ready for summer ladies!!!!


here are my summer anthems.

IKEA shopping

i really like IKEA's Swedish style. i think it's really cool and stylish.

we took a car so i could get big stuff! yay! so i got a cabinet for my closet and some fake flowers. aren't they beautiful? ;)

on the way from IKEA, we drove by Tokyo Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower! it was exciting!!!

i know it's short but i'm gonna stop here and go bed soon. cuz it's monday tmrw! gotta get back to real life.

have a good nite and sweet dreams for everyone!

Girls Nite Out to Sweet Memories

the last weekend was one of my bests ever!!!!
on Saturday, i had a reunion with my really good friends from college. first, we had dinner at a cute&nice mexican place in Roppongi. of course we had corona ;)
we three got together for the first time in 1 year. so we pretty much talked and caught up during dinner. now each of us has own life and work as it's own way. it was interesting to listen to their life stories and also to talk mine. we felt like we were the ladies in sex and the city.lol
then, we kicked out and club hopped in Roppongi.

we were so excited but it turned out boring... the clubs we went were WACK! so one of them and i took a taxi and came back to my place... it was still cool cuz i had a really good time with the girls.

on sunday, she and i went to Yokohama China Town! we ate A LOT and got literally stuffed. and then walked around the china town and took a walk to Yokohama Minato Mirai thru Yamashita park.

actually, Minato Mirai was one of my most fav places. because... u know, i'll keep that with me now.lol

anyways, i had a great great weekend thanks to my girls. i wanna get together with them and go nite out even after marriage regularly cuz i know that freshes me up!


here's the song from the weekend. nah, Sunday Minato Mirai.lol
