Traffic Stop?

driving in la today, i had a first time experience. i was on the 110, heading south and right about to pass downtown. all of a sudden, i see a cop car with its lights flashing. ま、普通に誰か捕まった～としか思ってなかったんだけど、急に私の前に入ってきた。一番右のレーンから私のいる一番左のレーンに。何がしたいのかまったく検討が付かなかった。its kinda scary driving behind a cop car with flashing lights so i slowed down. the cop car eventually got decently ahead of me so i thought maybe he was in a hurry? (abuse of power) but i caught sight of him again. ちょっと前で急に右へ、左へとクネクネし始めた。

my first thought was "oh shit". i mean, i've seen/heard about this before. traffic stop. もし本当に止まらされたら面倒だもん。時間も多少は掛かるだろうし。i was almost about to hit the carpool lane so all i was hoping for was to be able to get in so the traffic stop wouldn't affect me. ま、一応何とか乗れて、横を見ると、パトカーも止めてどっか行っちゃった。結局アレはなんだったんだろう？？

Cuz you had a bad day

like me. today was definitely not my day. 朝起きて雨降ってる時点でアウトだった気がする。not that i don't like rain. its fine and all. although its effing cold. but yea, its fine as long as i don't have to walk and take the bus to school. こういう時の雨はホント面倒。

i got going a bit late this morning because i had to run back to get my umbrella. as a result, i missed my bus. -__- i ran for it, but missed. で、寒い中突っ立ってると、車が来て、ピシャっ！it wasn't a lot of water, but it was still gross and cold. of course i don't have enough time to go home and change so i just went with that. で、さらに待ってますと、以上に気づく。雨で分かりにくかったけど、耳に伝わる音がやけに静か。so i listen real close and discover one of my earbuds isn't working. ugh. its only been about a year since i bought them. もう壊れたのかよ！but soon, that wasn't to matter anyways. my mp3 player died.... ホントツイてない。

i get to class, then work. and then the final hit blows. ugh... my period started. its fine cuz i had my pad on me. but still.... 来週だと思ってたからちょっと焦った。as a result, my stomachs been cramping all day. its times like these when i really hate being a girl....

Seal Beach Kite Festival

it was the japan america kite festival in seal beach today. wasn't really planning on going. until my mom practically forced me too. 何か、ずっと不機嫌なんですよね。いい加減ウザイし。ま、これ以上不機嫌になられてもいやなので、一応行くことに。

well, seal beach itself seemed decently interesting. the festival was at the pier and before that was like downtown seal beach or something. 色々面白そうなお店とかあったけど、結局見て回る時間無し。ホント、母と回るといいこと無いね。i think she really needs to get a life of her own...

the kite festival itself was a bit lame. i'd never flown a kite and the bf said he'd help me try but i didn't want to buy a kite so never got to fly it. でも、いつかはやってみたい気がする。ちょっと面白そう。大きな公園とかに行って。but yea, the festival itself was a bit bleh. nothing much to do. and it was cloudy. the highlight was getting some yakult. that stuff is awesome :)

Pool Cleaning & Boiling Crab

today was a decently productive day. spent most of my evening cleaning out the pool with my dad. も、藻とかが生えたい放題で手のつけようが無いくらいになっちゃって、しょうがなく水を全部抜くことに。my dad rented a pump from home depot and off we start. boy, was it hot. -__- 大変なのが、壁をキレイにするの。結構大変。水圧があるから。man, i think i'm gonna be sore tomorrow. but it was good exercise.

for dinner, we weren't too sure what to get, since my dad needed to get going soon. so i suggested getting boiling crab to go. 前々から食べてみたかったかし、お持ち帰りならそんなに時間かからないから、いいかなと。its pretty pricey. i mean, you pay by the pound and since most of those critters have heavy shells, you need to get a lot to get full. we got some crabs, shrimps, potatoes, and sausages. ま、期待してたほどでは無かったね。i think i like regularly steamed seafood better. haha. simple is best, no? regardless, it was fun eating in my garage, getting all messy. 石鹸とか何も無いのが残念でしたけど。食べた後が大変。the things you do for food...

Guppy's

late last night, after some playing at round 1, the bf, some friends and i decided to go to guppy's for some late night eating. one reason was because i've wanted to try it out since my bestie mentioned it a while back and another is because it was one of the few places open so late. みんな結構おなか空いてたから、（主に自分だけど。ホント、食いしん坊でゴメンナサイ）色々メニューがあるここが一番いいということに。
足を踏み入れて一発目、ウルサイ。all this "gangsta" (no offense to anyone that likes that kinda of music..) music was on pretty loud. this was the patio. once inside the store, man, it was really loud. で、お外に座ることに。we had heard the popcorn chicken was good so we decided to go with that. but we couldn't figure out what else to get. 一応カキ氷が有名みたいだったけど、量が多いし、みんなが食べないと余る。after a lengthy discussion on what to get, we finally decide to get the guppy's small combo. 1 popcorn chicken, 1 small shaved ice with strawberries, and 1 brick toast with chocolate. 全部美味しかったです。でも、彼が高すぎるとブーブー文句を垂れる。ちょっとくらいいいじゃん、ね？ケチ。but yea, it seems we're not gonna be back for a while. darn.
