Ice skating

行ってきた～。楽しかった～。went with the bf and another friend and we skating for practically 1.5 hours straight. もうみんな運動不足でしたね。笑っちゃうくらい。but yea, we had fun. after a while, there was just way too many people and we decided to leave.
そして、案の定筋肉痛です。（笑）plus, my ankles kinda hurt from the skates. does that mean i have to tighten them a little more?? oh well. i feel bad for the bf. he had もちつき with his family that day too so his arms are in pain too. おかわいそうに。早くまた行きたいな～。Currently listening to: Candyshop - Akon

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :)

皆様、この聖なる夜をどうお過ごしですか？私は午前中に彼と会い、夜は家族でキムチ鍋を突っつきました～。変ですか？クリスマスにキムチ鍋って？either way, i hope everyone was able to have a wonderful christmas. :)
so, now, i was bored and watching some videos. haha. kind of a sad christmas, isn't it?? well, i finished SCANDAL and 夢を叶えるゾウ。both were so-so. and omg!! 相棒で亀ちゃんがやめた．．．マジ泣いた。あの名コンビはいつしか復活するのでしょうか？

さようなら、亀山薫:(

also, i watched an episode of smapxsmap. 冬に聞きたい名曲歌謡際。it was actually pretty good. ゲストに石原さとみが出てた。the bf likes her. haha. i think she got a bit thinner, which makes her look better. 前はもっとぽっちゃりしてたような気が。。。
there were some pretty good songs. *spoiler alert* some of the singers were...

藤井フミヤ
広瀬香美
バブルガムブラザース
槇原敬之
今井美紀
etc, etc.

it's definitely worth watching if you like some old japanese songs~. for now, maybe i'll go to sleep. still kinda sick. my throat is killing me... -_-

Eff-ing tired and sick :(

i am soooo tired... =_=. it doesn't help that i'm sick like crazy. 鼻はたらたらで涙目で、my ears feel like they're constantly popping. is that weird?? i hope not.

こんな状況で San Diego まで、運転して戻ってきました。ことの発端はお母さんが免許を財布ごと家に忘れたこと。we figured that out when we got to a gas station and needed to pay. so, my mom says i should drive. i was like, 'no way! i'm so sick...' so, my mom compromises and decides to drive to newport, where we grabbed a bite to eat. その後は私が運転。レストランの駐車場を出て、お母さんの好きなコーヒー屋さんに向かう。after that, down to san diego we go.

san diego についてショッピングして、お母さんの知り合いに会って、帰る。and omg! the traffic was so bad. all the while, my mom is bitching at me about my driving, another reason why i didn't want to drive. 行きしなんてサイアク。she kept telling me to keep the speed at around 70 but あそこって浮き沈み激しいの。だから難しいの。i literally had tears rolling down my cheeks as i was driving. もうヤダ。

traffic was much worse than that -_-

now, i am so sick that i am going to drug myself and go to sleep. after i finish my laundry... -_-

oh yes, the heater broke so it's freezing. isn't it fun being sick??

Slumdog Millionaire

soo~~ the mom came home today. i know. -_- anyways, so i drove in the rain to pick her up and she complained like hell about my driving. うるさい！って感じ。イヤなら自分で運転しろ！！！
and then tonight, i went to watch "Slumdog Millionaire" with the bf. it was pretty good. i liked it :) ちょっと最初はついて行きにくかったけどね。it's a cute love story with lots of twists and turns. maybe, the reason why i found it so good was because it was the first foreign movie i had seen in American theaters. 日本の映画館では日本の映画みたことあるけど、他の foreign 映画はクラスとかでしか見たことないと思う。i really recommend this movie! :)

で、クリスマスプレゼントもらった～。彼から。2 cute shirts from charlotte russe. we might return one of them bc the bf doesn't like it too much. 個人的にはどっちもカワイイと思う。ま、初めて彼が選んでくれたっていうのもあるけど。
あ！！そういえば、土曜日は久しぶりに友達と会った。やっぱ女子同士だとしゃべる、しゃべる。あはは。the bf and his friend got tired of waiting for us and actually left. lol. 楽しかった～。初めて T.G.I. Fridays に行った。結構おいしかった。楽しい週末でした～♪

あいのり

みなさ～ん！あいのりって番組知ってますか？？it's been on air for quite a while. i remember watching it a bit when it first started. that was when they were still filming in japan. 今となっては国際的になってきたからね。最近また見始めて今はヨルダンにいるバスワゴン。

anyways, シュレックが失恋した～。こっちもちょー泣けた。かわいそう．．．桃も絶対シュレックの気持ち知ってるのに見せ付けるみたいにしたのがちょっとイヤ。i feel really bad for him. he had to watch all that lovey dovey-ness. めっちゃ泣いて凹んでいた。

恋愛ってやっぱ始めるのは難しいね。私は彼とは幼なじみなんですけど、一緒にガッコに行ってたときはまさか付き合うなんて思ってなかった。he used to be such an a-hole. seriously. one of the most annoying guys i have ever known. lol. 今となってはダイスキだけどね。

ただ、今でも罪悪感がある。彼の元カノは一緒のクラスにいたコ。when we were in class together, there was nothing going on. apparently, they got together after i graduated. (they're both younger than me) で、卒業したその年の冬にあったらもう付き合ってた、みたいな？全然知らなくて驚いたんだけどね。

で、元カノの父親が二人が付き合うことに反対してたみたい。それで、色々相談乗ってたら結構仲良くなって．．．but obviously, we both didn't have any feelings for each other at this point. で、二人が別れたすぐ後に告白されて付き合うことになった。but. it feels really bad. 元カノちゃんとはそこそこ仲良かったし、別れてすぐだったからなんかやっぱ罪悪感。だって、apparently, キライで別れたわけじゃないから。余計にね。あいのりで男は引きづるって言ってたけど、あれってやっぱ本当かな？彼は今だって元カノちゃんの写真大切に保管してるし。何か、そういうの知ると罪悪感倍増、みたいな？やっぱ悪いことしたかな？って思う。だって、向こうも同じ感じなのかな？って考える。マジで最低じゃん、私。ま、今後二人でいるときに会わないことを願うだけですな。

updates?

updates って言うほど大袈裟なモンでもないけど。ま、色々私の好きな音楽のビデオを足しました。i hope people can enjoy those music videos. i'm not a tech savvy person so until today, i did not know you can do that. lol. 悲しいでしょ？ちょー今時だとは思うんですが、できました！:)so, i was looking at the JUJU music video, 「素直になれたら」。very good song. anyways, 映像の最中にメール文みたいに文章が出てくる。i actually watched the video twice to make sure i read every single one of those. and i came to a conclusion. 女の子だったらほとんどがうなずける文章だった。女の子の気持ちをものすごい的確に捉えてる。some of my favorites:

「気づかれたくない。でもやっぱり、気づいてほしい。」

「好き。だから、傷つく。」

「言わないんじゃなくて。言えないんだよ。」

「私からばかりだと不安だよ。」

「素直になれるなら、すべてを君に」

全部良いけど厳選した５つだけ載せます。是非！PV見てください。本当なら全部載せたいくらいだもん。i really love this song and PV. the phrase i love most from this song is, 「君のすべてになりたくて、信じてたいの。」　分かる～って感じ？（笑）

男性諸君：女の子は素直になるのは難しいんです。矛盾でいっぱいです。それはスキだから。言わなくても分かって欲しい。全部共有したい。そう思うんです。どうか分かってください。

i hope you enjoy the other videos as well. they're all really good songs! :)

事故

事故っちゃいました。マジで。相手は．．．a garbage can. my neighborhood has trash pickup today so there are a couple of trash cans lining my street. i clipped one and ended up with a flat tire. 最悪だった。パニックで彼に電話したら直留守。gahhhhhh!!! so i call his 仕事先 and manage to get a hold of him. he tells me he'll come right away since he was just finishing his shift. (isn't he so nice?? :) )

the trash can was kinda like this one

so, the bf comes along to help me change the tire. it's raining, mind you, so it's freezing cold. いろいろやった結果、ほかの tools が必要だと判明し、友達を呼ぶことになった。in the end, it takes us until 2 a.m. to get the tire off. 寒かった。雨はちょー降るし。

でも、彼と友達に感謝ですね。本当にものすごい大変だった。ありがとうね！

YAY!

my mom left for japan today~. you know what that means??? lots and lots of free time with no restrictions~. やった～！！！！！！マジでちょーうれしい。

i drove mom to the airport today. she was so mean... :( 初心者だからもうちょっとやさしくしてよ～。she says i brake too late. she's like, 「そのうちつこっむよ」 lol それだけは避けたいね。and then there's the tailgating. it's not like i'm trying to tailgate, it just ends up like that. haha. i need to be more careful. i think i did a better job driving home. i still need to get used to lane changing on the freeway. あれ結構難しいね。my mom's like, 「これだけ色々言われたら運転上手になるでしょ？」。はい。ごもっともです。ありがとうございます。

というわけで、although i have another final tomorrow and should study, 寝ます。何でも好き勝手できるってシアワセねぇ。

And finally, we come to the stomach

生理痛マジ勘弁。つ～か～れ～る～。am i pmsing?? maybe. let's just hope i don't take it out on the bf. poor guy. has to always deal with me... でもさ、女の子は皆こんな面倒くさいモノと毎月ご対面せなアカンねん。マジでめっちゃダルイねん。オトコどもにコノ辛さが分かってたまるもんかっちゅうねん。ホンマ、大変なんやで？絶対分かってないやろ？その上出産！？何でやねん！？めちゃめちゃ不公平やんけ。if you ask some religious butt head, they'll be like it's the women's fault because Eve ate that stupid apple or whatever it was that she ate. こちとらに言わせてもらえば、ソレが何か？って感じ。ウチらと全然カンケーないんですけど？知るか！？そんなこと。神は皆平等ちゃうんけ？？話ちゃうやん。だから宗教ってうさんくさいねん。

so, i went on a bit of a rant there. whatever. i AM pmsing. too bad for the bf. hope he comes out of this week alive. on a brighter note, my mom is leaving soon. HOORAY!! :)

今度は心臓がヤバイ。

このネコちゃんよりヤバイです。

忙しい人でしょ？（笑）omg... i had the scariest experience driving today... マジでヤバイ。心臓バクバクいってる。怖かった。何があったといいますと．．．

so, i was trying to get on to the 10 freeway. it's a pretty tight curve and i guess i was taking it with too much speed. (i drive a pretty big car, keep in mind) so, i slammed the breaks and almost came to a stop. well, as you might know, that's not a good idea in california. i quickly checked behind me to see if there were any cars coming and thank goodness, there weren't. either way, i kinda rushed and pressed the gas too hard. 焦ってたの！テンパっちゃたの！so obviously, the car jerks forward and i accidentally go into the other lane!! obviously, the other lane is the lane for those exiting the freeway. i panicked and turned my car back into the right lane. 怖かった～。手の震えが止まらなかったもん。both times, i went over that small tiny island type thing they have in the middle so it also made this big THUMP noise. probably one of the most scariest moments in my life.

というわけで、運転は慎重にしましょう。教訓ですね。（笑）

頭がパンクしそう．．．

huh. i wish...

考えること多すぎ！my mom is going to japan next week (lucky bastard) but i have so much to think about, it's not even funny... =_= there's finals, for one. i can't afford to do bad since i was STD (Subject to Dismissal :0) and so, i really need to try. でも、多分あんまりマジメに勉強しないと思う．．．大体そうだし。悪い癖。

on top of that, my mom decides to go all the way down to SD on sunday to visit some peeps. -_-; 私関係ないのに。ついていくハメになってる．．．めんどくせぇ。i swear, i hate how everything revolves around my mom... it's not fair. this means i can't see the bf at all this weekend. マジサイアク。

then, there's christmas. i know it's supposed to be fun but i don't think i can enjoy it until finals are done. as of now, i'm depressed thinking about what presents to get for whom. 冬休みは絶対ちょー遊んでやる。じゃなきゃ死んじゃう。

uhhh... PORNO!?

every now and then, there are free screenings at UCLA in the Grand Ballroom. well, tonight, there was one and yes, it was a porno. "Pirates II". heard of it? maybe the guys mighta heard of the first one and are highly anticipating this one. ま、所詮オトコだしね。but yea, talk about awkward.... and after the screening, there's a Q&A session with the director and some of the cast. っていうか何質問すんだ？？？っていうか誰が見んだ！？i swear, it's probably gonna be all guys and like a mass masturbation fest or something like that. マジで。誰があんなもん上映しようなんて思ったんだ？？理解不能。

正直、見ないわけではない。どっちかって言うと好きかも？it depends. but yea. たまに見る。一人でするときで何もなしがイヤな時は見るね。but i would not want to watch it with a room full of other people. that is just way too awkward.... not my thing. haha. でも、trailer 見てちょっと見たいと思った。（笑）結構よくできてる。さすが一番お金がかかったAVなだけあるわ。あはは。

there was one guy in my class who was all psyched about going. i hope he was able to enjoy it. :) click here for the trailer and info.

yesterday & today

so, last night, before coming back to my apartment near school, the bf and i decided to make a pit stop at the griffith observatory. it was supposed to close at 10 and we left his house at around 8 something so we thought we should be fine. *WE THOUGHT* GPS 頼りに進んでみたら、家があるところを曲がって行けという。うちらは「！？」みたいな．．．（笑）it was impossible. so we used the address that i got online and went from there but it turned out we got to griffith national park. but hey, we got to see the light walk with all this christmas light stuff. めっちゃキレイだったね～。:)

from there, we decided we still might make it to the observatory and eventually find our way there. でも、後５分くらいでしまる時間になっちゃってた。もうホント大変。でも、少し景色と外観見れたからまるっきし時間の無駄ではなかったね。
and then today, went karaoke again~. やっぱ楽しいね～。めちゃめちゃ歌ったぞ～。結構懐かしい曲をいっぱい。スピッツの「チェリー」とか、花・花の「さよなら大好きな人」とか、Kiroro の「最後のキス」とか。歌いまくるのは快感ですな～。:)

later tonight, we also decided to do some driving so we decided to go to angeles crest highway. もうめっちゃぐにゃぐにゃ道で結構怖かった～。but the bf has really good driving skills and lots of experience so it was too bad. もうね！星がめちゃめちゃキレイなの～～～！！！！！！あんなキレイな星空 l.a. ではほとんど見れないよ。the 夜景 was really pretty too~. overall, it was a really nice experience. i feel bad for the bf tho, i made him drive so much and he has work at 8 tomorrow morning. -_- ごめんね？
