Libra

last friday, went out to dinner with the old boss. he's actually a family friend so this is probably gonna happen every now and then. ugh, i really don't like the guy too much... ま、でもおいしいもの食べれるからいいっか。

so, last friday, went to Libra in Culver City. it's a brazilian churrasco place. ああいうところって基本バイキングなのかな？よく分からないけど、ココもバイキングでした。i'm only comparing it to the place in farmer's market since that's the only one i know. but yea, OMG DELISH!!!!!!! めっちゃ食べまくっちゃった。食べ過ぎて、ちょっともどしちゃったもん。（すみません、汚いですね）they have 15 different cuts of meat and a salad bar that you can eat from. the salad bar isn't just salad but has some cold and warm appetizers as well. マジ最高!

what was also great was the omiyage from japan that i finally got and my compensation for working. as compensation for working, i got a $375 AE gift card! woot!! 色々買っちゃうぞ！as for my omiyage, got the game i've been wanting for a while, Catherine on PS3. :) it's looks interesting but apparently, it's pretty hard.... we'll see. i just need to have a working remote... すぐ遊べないのが残念。遊びたいです！

おデート

this weekend was pretty fun! my mom had work most of the time so it was nice and relaxing. lol.

on saturday, went to the hokkaido fair in torrance with a co-worker. いや～、珍味とか見ると興奮するね。思わずしおから買っちゃったよ。deeelish! i also got the mochi cream again. this time around, it was the apple pie flavor. リンゴとクリームに加えてさくさくしたパイ生地っぽいものも入ってて超おいしい!また食べたいね。

sunday was bf day! 久しぶりのゆっくりしたおデート。we ended up eating lunch in torrance and spent the rest of the day just kinda kickin' it. watched some videos, washed the car, played a bit of badminton, and got some ice cream. 何かを特にやった訳ではなく、のんびりすごしましたね。それはそれで楽しかった。only thing is i forgot to take pictures. darn. and i got a new camera for my birthday too. ugh. ま、また今度いっぱい撮りたいね。

July 4th, etc.

wow, it's been a while since i last posted. there's been a bunch of crap going on. july 4th weekend was heaven and hell. i guess i'll just go in order and kinda recap what's been going on in my life since last weekend. 長くなるぞ．．．

Friday (7/1) : it was kewl. got to go to dinner with my coworkers. 一人、誕生日だったので、そのお祝い。キヨスズに行ってきました。Nagasu Miraiちゃんのお店。彼女はいなかったけどね。this place is kinda in my neighborhood and i've been to a couple of times. however, it's only decent so until friday, i hadn't really gone recently. 結構混んでました。15分から待って、やっと8人全員座れました。for the price, they give you A LOT. i don't think no one was able to finish their food. except for this one guy. he finished his food and got even more food. everyone was like ・＿・ lol 量がハンパなく多かったね。i had to be home by 10 so that sucked, but at least i got to go.

Saturday (7/2) : actually, i don't remember what i did.... oh! i remember. お昼を友達と食べに行けましたぁ。with two of my friends from high school. we just did some catching up and that was fun. afterwards, i had to go shopping with my mom. あんまりショッピングって好きじゃないんだけどね。we ended up going to the century city mall. 水着とドレスとティーシャツを買いました。and then we had yakiniku dinner at Manpuku. これマジうまかった。after that, off to another more local mall. there, i bought a handbag. お金使いまくりですね。

Sunday (7/3) : spend most of this day with the bf. 幸せ～。4年目突入で未だラブラブでっす！えへ。i believe we went to watch the fireworks show in south el monte this night. we went 超ギリギリ but were able to find parking and watch the show. it was a lot shorter than expected but it was fun nonetheless. ま、あのウザイ家からもちょっとの間ながら開放されるしね。楽しいひと時でした♪

Monday (7/4) : mom was in a pissy mood since morning and around lunch, she exploded. got yelled at and whatnot for a while. うざかった。怒られてる理由も今一わかんなかったしね。馬鹿みたい。we were having a bbq but that obviously didn't turn out so well. whatever. i'm really starting to hate her. she does not know how annoying and controlling she is. so, that ended up a nightmare.

Tuesday (7/5) : mom still pissy, so the entire day kinda just sucked... not much really happened.

Wednesday (7/6) : made plans to hang out with my friends again. ま、帰りたくなかったし、ちょうどよかったかもね。残業だって嘘ついて遊びに行きました。tried Golden Deli for the first time. the pho was really good. でも、スープがあまりにも熱すぎて舌をヤケド．．．残念。and then played wii for a bit. i played something like second opinion? it was a medical game. you become a surgeon or something. my friends were laughing at me while i was trying to save my patients. -__- そのせいで、なかなかうまく行かなかった。ブレちゃ駄目なのに、つられて笑っているせいでもうめちゃくちゃ。but it was an interesting game. all played wii play? bunch of games. it was fun. there was a billiards one in it. i did pretty good :) 日ごろからやったことのある私の方が有利だった見たい。lol. fun night!

Thursday (7/7) : mom isn't so pissy anymore. so, decided to start doing some jogging with her. 久しぶりに結構体動かした。もっとしたかったけど、ついてきた姉が全然駄目だから、断念。これからはもっと走りたいけどね。運動にもなるし、少しはカロリーが消費されるといいな．．．

so, that's kinda my life for the past week-ish. ups and downs. it was nice cuz i got to spend mucho time with my bf. but, my mom made it hell. 大変でしたね。これでもかってくらいウザくて。well, hopefully, it'll get better....

お誕生日

apparently, today was the birthday of a friend of my bf's. i'm not that close to him so it's kinda iffy as to whether i consider him a friend or not. anyways, so we decided to go over to his house to celebrate. で、それがなぜか家で料理して、飲んで、ゲームする事だったみたい。ま、別に他は男4人だから、何しようがいいけどさ。

so, apparently they decided to make spaghetti. 殆ど料理経験が無い男どもが3人集うとエライことになりますね。（笑）ま、それをただただ見ていたわたしですが。手伝い気にもなりません。えへへ。

it was just pasta, nothing you can mess up on, so it came out okay. bought way more food then necessary. 馬鹿よね。だから言ったのに。ま、後はそこの家族で味わって下さいみたいな感じになったけど。

we also bought some alcohol. i had one beer. the jamaican one in a funky looking bottle. 何か、いまいち。i really don't like beer too much. especially if its really bitter. 今までで一番よかったのは生のキリンだね。so i had one of that and a cup of uv vodka lemonade with 7up. the vodka wasn't that great but it went pretty well with the 7up. lol.

一応それなりに楽しんでいたのに、母からの電話で家路につくことに。何か、ぜんそくと気管支炎がどうやらとかで。ugh. i swear, she really hates it when i go out... so we had to leave early. sorry guys..

キャサリン

今、彼が欲しいと言っているゲームです。it's for ps3, i think. it's a new japanese horror game. i just watched the trailer. man, it's AMAZING! 実際私もやってみたいと思ったもん。ちなみに、私はゲーマーでは有りません。極たまにちょこちょこっと遊ぶ程度です。but yea, the plot looks really interesting. it's geared more towards an adult audience so that also might make it more interesting.

ただ、全然ゲームの内容が分からない。彼曰く、ホラーパズルらしい。パズルは好きです。but i don't see how that would connect to the whole plot line. i guess we'll just have to wait and see when it comes out. hehe. ゲームとかは余り得意ではないので、ちょっぴり不安ですが、彼と一緒に遊べるものがあると嬉しいです。:) あとは意地っ張りで負けず嫌いの私の性格が邪魔しなければいいけど、、、

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

it's 2011!! 明けましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いいたします。

today was spent leisurely. was able to spend the day with the bf. he actually took a day off of work for me!! :) ありがとうございます！at night, the bf and i were able to go out so we decided to go to golf n' stuff. it's in downey. どこ行こうか散々迷った挙句、彼の妹がそこを進めてたのを思い出し、行くことに。especially since its new years and there are are few places open, we decided to give it a shot.
it was actually a really interesting place. it had an arcade, mini golf, and some rides. そこそこ充実した品揃え。しかも、値段は結構お手ごろ。で、寒いけど、そんな寒空の下でミニゴルフをすることに。楽しかったよ♪ they have like four different courses you can choose from but towards the end, we were just going every which way, ignoring the courses. lol. あんまり時間はなかったけど、楽しめたね。また機会があったらいってみたいかな。

Veteran's Day 2010

today was kinda hectic, kinda not. really weird day...

obviously, because of veteran's day, i had not school. hooray! hehe. でも、母のお仕事のお手伝いで、朝から大忙し。それも、お昼までには落ち着き、彼とお出かけすることに。we went to the Los Angeles Air Force Base near LAX. the bf works there sometimes and needed to do something. it was my first time there but it was interesting. a lot cleaner and nicer than expected. lol. でも、あまりやることは無さそう。

after that, we grabbed lunch at Umemiya in Torrance. the bf loves the umani yakisoba there. haha. 私は焼肉定食を取ったけど、まぁまぁでしたね。最近焼肉が食べたくて、、、でも、韓国焼肉が食べたい私は、和風の焼肉では満足できないみたいです。i really really want to go...

after lunch, we headed over to santa monica. i still had to do stuff for my mom's work so we killed some time browsing at the santa monica place and 3rd street. man, the new mall is niiiiice. でも、高いものばかりで、何も買えない。残念。

after i finished with work, i just sat around with the bf and a friend and watched the sun set in santa monica. it was really pretty. and it was nice, since it felt like we were really spending some nice quality time. 楽しかった。

since i'm staying over at the bf's house today, we decided to hang out at round 1. 色々遊んだし、プリクラも取った～。でも、最後は母からの電話にイライラしちゃって、彼と喧嘩。ゴメンナサイ。でも、もう仲直りしたから大丈夫！ではでは、おやすみなさい。

Round 1 Bowling

昨日の夜は Round 1 でボウリングしましたぁ。5ゲームも。大変でしたね。結構。it was a deal so obviously, we went for it. haha. but man, 5 games is a lot. i think i did decent. there were some times were i sucked a lot but for the most part, i think i'm getting better.

not as nice but similar to this

the place is brand new so all the equipment is really nice. and at night, they make is so the pins glow and there are lots of strobes of lights and things like that. 面白かった。ただ、ボールの指の穴のサイズには困りました。Mだとちょっと大きい。でも、Sが無い。that kinda sucked. but other than that, everything was really nice. i hadn't been bowling in a while so it was really fun! その反面で帰りはかなり遅くなっちゃったけどね。（笑）

Round 1

finally got the chance to go to round 1 tonight. i've been wanting to go ever since my friend mentioned it on facebook. 日本のゲーセンみたいなところで、CMで見て、行きたいなぁって思ってたの。but yea, that place was huge!! so much to do, so little money. haha.

they have a pretty big arcade/crane game section as well as bowling, karaoke, darts, and ping pong. あれだけいろいろひとつの場所にまとめられるのってすごい。あ、あとプリクラもあったし！しかも、CUE より安い。いいね～。and of course, everything was brand-spanking-new. :) always good.

we ended up playing a bunch of games and won a lot of tickets along the way too. haha. i got like 200 tickets out of one game on two different occasions. seems i had a lot of luck. プリクラも久しぶりに撮れた。楽しかった。思い出はいっぱい作ったほうがいいよね～。あ、後卓球も始めてやった。もう、グダグダ。改めて自分の運動音痴加減を知らされました。so sad. haha. but after a while, i was able to hit decently well.

ま、そんなこんなで遊びまくりました。で、その後は何故かDenny's でご飯。で、今帰って来ました。眠い。寝ます。おやすみなさい。

Labor Day お遊び

labor day. you get a day off but so do a lot of other places. meaning a lot of places are closed. so what do you do?? yea, we had the same question too.

the bf and i ended up finding this miniature golf place on yelp called putting edge and we decided to give it a try. 何か、暗闇の中で、glow するパット、ボール、などは使ってやるゴルフ。everythng was glow in the dark. lol. it was really interesting. in additon to the mini golf, the place also has a couple arcade games and 2 air hockey tables. ま、時間をつぶすにはちょうどいいかも。でも、ちょっぴり高め。一人$10.50. 出来ればもうちょっと安くして欲しいですな。but it was fun. for experience. they had some pretty interesting holes. too bad there's only one course so that once you're done, you're done. took us about an hour to get through the entire thing. and thats with us shooting at the same hole a couple of times.

after that, we decided to watch a movie. the other guys. 結構面白いって聞いたから。it was either that or scott pilgrim. 感想: 思ったほど面白くなかった。it gave you some food for thought. but not so much the laugh factor. もうちょっと面白いのかと思った。overall, the film was just decent. i did stick around for the very end tho. a lot of people left before that last bit after the credits. でも、知ってたから見れた。えへへ。

Pizza & Pool

bored as heck last night so we decided to play pool in the club house that my new apartment has. で、お腹もすいたから、ピザを買うことに。i think they make a good match, right?? haha. ついでにビール・おやつなども買って、結構お金使っちゃったね。especially because we ended up buying the pool balls too, since we wouldn't have made it in time to rent out the balls at the managers office.


we bought the pizza at this one place that advertised new york style pizza. we got a large with pepperoni, sausge, green peppers, and onions. 結構おいしかった。everything seemed pretty fresh, which is always a plus. 一応パスタも注文したけど、こちらはまぁまぁ。ピザの方が絶対おいしい。

while waiting for the pizza to be ready, we went to bevmo's to get drinks. the guys seemed to be having a blast. it took them nearly 20 minutes to decide what to get. 女かよ！バシッと決めろよ！ちんたらちんたら悩んでないでさ！i think they ended up getting a pack of beer, chips, i got proscuitto, some cokes, and one of those small bottles of hard liquor. 結構高くついたみたい。バカみたいに買うから．．．


we ate and played a couple rounds of pool. finished around 10 and the bf and i were pretty tired so we called it a night. but it was fun. talking, eating, and playing pool. we should do it more often.

Jamba Juice and Hamakaze

yesterday, after cleaning the kitchen cabinets for a while, i went out to Jamba Juice with some friends. my friend was back from norcal for a couple days and i really wanted to hang out with her. 私含め計3人で近くにあるjamba juice まで。久しぶりに飲んだ。なにが好きだったか覚えてなかったから、注文するのに時間かかっちゃった。it was located inside a pavilions and we had $1 off coupons. but sadly, they said we couldn't use it there... darn. i ended up getting a mega mango. bit sour. decent. in the mean time, another one of my friends, who also happens to be my ex, showed up and we just sat around drinking, eating, and talking.

ひさしぶりな感じ。高校に戻ったみたいな？it was fun :) sadly, i couldn't stick around too long so we split after about a little less than an hour. i miss them.

で、夜は彼とゴルフの打ちっぱなしに行った。i think i did decent. had my bad times and good times. 何か、一回座ったら下手になり、また座ったらうまくなる。i need to have more steadiness. but i think i'm getting there. lol. で、めっちゃ遅い夜ご飯に。色々迷った挙句、Venice Beach にある、「はまかぜ」って言う居酒屋へ。居酒屋大好きだから。えへへ。dude, this place was sooooo good. didn't drink since it was really late, but yea, their food was gooooood. i had the dynamite, which was excellent, and so were their kick ass japanese fries. too bad they were more like wedges. i like skinny fries better. haha. ロールを一つ頼んだんだけど、今ひとつ？maybe a different roll would be better... で、竜田揚げ注文したけど、ちょっと揚げすぎ感が否めなかった。overall, loved the ambience, the waiter was pretty chill and nice, and the food was pretty good. この店、結構好きカモ。although i wish they'd have a bigger menu...

PSP

最近何年か前に彼に買ってもらったPSPにハマってます。maybe its because i have some time on my hands right now despite having school. but yea, its fun. and the bf gave me some fun games :)

中でも一番好きなのが「初音ミク Project DIVA」です。its a music game that pretty much tests your sense of rhythm. simple yet addicting. the songs are good too, which is a plus. and there are a lot of them. so i don't think i'll be finishing the game anytime soon. especially since i'm not good. ま、元々ゲームは得意分野ではないので、、、でも、今は楽しいでっす。♪

あと、「ぷよぷよ」ももらいましたぁ！前々から好きなゲームです。i'd play it a lot in japan when i visited my cousins because they had it on their computer. めっちゃ懐かしいです。あはは。子供の頃の思い出のゲームですね。あと、「Super Mario World」も！ゲームに熱中しそうです．．．

BBQ and 花火

今日はまたまたBBQ. haha. we had two in a row. it's bc my dad couldn't make it to yesterdays and we had food left over. so why not, right? お昼にやる予定だったんだけど、お父さんが遅くなったから、結局夕方からになっちゃった。朝からボウリングを4ゲームやって、夕方にバーベキューして、夜は花火。今日は忙しかった！

man, we had lots of food for the bbq. i just wish we had a bit more veggies. o well. オクラが超うまかった！オクラ大好きだから、超幸せ。えへへ。we had so much food that we had leftovers. but it'll all be gone by tomorrow :)

で、また夜は花火！we decided to go to the one at cerritos college. we got there a bit after 8:30 and sat down but man, this priest like guy kept droning on and on about Christianity. (no offense to the religious) 9時半になっても終わらないから、帰ることに。when we left the stadium, the way we came was closed off so we had to take a different route. bit confusing but we got it. and we stopped at one place that had a clear view of the stadium to see if the fireworks started. it didn't...

で、立ってたら、カートに乗った女の人が来て、ココはダメって言われた。something about liability issues with the fireworks. she tells us the way to our parking lot and off we start walking. then this security guy on a bicycle stops us and tells us we can't walk that way. by this time, a whole bunch of people have started coming out way. で、全員止められた。everyone was all pissy. lol. the security was like, "calm down. you don't have to do this." 馬鹿だよね？もう駐車場すぐソコなんだよ？通せば良いじゃん。but no. he ends up calling for backup. -__- so a police car comes and eventually, they let us through. 最初っからそうすればいいじゃん！ボケェェェェ！so, by the time we leave, it's 10. and right as we leave the parking lot, the fireworks start... lol. so we stop and watch. 結構色々なのがあって、キレイだった。ただ残念なのが、フィナーレはどうやら低かったようで、何も見えなかった．．．ドーーンって大きい音がしただけ。気になる～。

after, we went to the bfs house to do fireworks at his house. we were only able to do a little bit but it was fun! :)

Translating

昨日は色々と忙しい一日となった。i was supposed to work but got the day off since a friend of my bfs' needed a japanese translator for interviews that he was conducting at AX (Anime Expo). 元々は彼がやるはずだったんだけど、彼の仕事の都合もあり、急遽私がやることに。でも、通訳って結構難しいからキライなんだよね～。

anyways, so i met the writers and photographers at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown, because that was where the interviews were being held. we had a couple preliminary questions for some of the interviewees ready but due to some kind of mix up, we weren't assigned any interview times. ということで、キャンセルか no show 待ちに。結局午前中はBeni と Danny Chung のインタビューに成功。both these people knew english so i wasn't of any use. there was supposed to be an opening to interview RSP but delays emerged and we ended up not getting it...

for lunch, we walked across the street, where they had a couple of different options and i ended up getting greek food. 初体験です。食べてみようとは思ってたんだけど、中々食べる機会が無くて、、、i really wanted mexican food, but everyone else wanted greek so i just went with that. i got the gyro sandwich, which was beef and lamb with pita and a bit of veggies. まぁまぁだった。食べたことの無い味。アレがラムだったのかな？わかんない．．．but yea, i wouldn't mind trying it again.

午後からは結構忙しくなった。歌手のMay'n と漫画家で「Black Lagoon」の作者のヒロエ・レイさんと日本のDJの方を何人かインタビューした。緊張した～。but it wasn't as bad as i thought. it was only 15 minutes so yea. but it was kinda nerve wracking when the interviewer asked questions that i wasn't prepared for. ま、そんなにはなかったけど。overall it was fun. i got to know some of the guys i worked with and i did meet semi-famous people. haha. oh! and i got an autograph! so that was nice :)

夜は彼と合流して早めの夕食を「本多屋」で。we ordered a couple of different dishes and the bill came out to about $40 including tip. a bit expensive, considering what we ordered. oh well...

after, we went back to my apartment and we ended up playing a bit of scrabble. i kicked his buttt. ♥ i've gotten significantly better. or maybe i had really good luck with my letters. whatever, i won!

で、久しぶりに映画を見に行った。ended up watching a late showing of "Get him to the Greek". it was quite funny, except that you really need to know the references. i'm sure i didn't even get half of them... and the bf complained about the british accent, whih i think is sexay~. hehe. 終わった頃はもう夜中。で今日は6時45分起き。疲れた～。（笑）

D&B Part 2

last night, i went to Dave & Busters again with the bf and some friends. we were planning on shooting some pool but turned out, there was a waiting list. it was like 10-ish. and they close off the waiting at 11. 4 other groups in front of us. 無理っしょ。どう考えたって。ということで、あきらめました。で、食べることに。（笑）

the bf and i ended up splitting an appetizer and i got a cosmo. おいしかった! the mini burgers and fries that we got were pretty good. but the wings were kinda eh. 酸味がキツくて、辛い。あんまりいい組み合わせではないですね。the total bill came out to about a little under $40 without tip. not bad.

afterwards, we decided to play the games, since there wasn't much else to do. ended up playing a couple ticket games and shooting games. i think i'm starting to like arcade games, especially shooting ones. どんくさいからすぐ死じゃうけどね。でも、楽しい～。

Din Tai Fung & Golf

今日はものすご～く疲れました。朝6時半に起きて、母の仕事の手伝いで70miles 以上運転した。そんで、その後も小東京に行ったり、姉をBBQに落っことしたりと、運転三昧の一日。久しぶりにいっぱい運転した。i think the last time was when i drove back from san diego. but then, thats a lot more.

で、姉がいないので、母と二人で晩御飯を食べに行きました。we went to din tai fung. 6時前に行ったのに相変わらず混んでました。but we didn't need to wait too long. thank goodness. i haven't eaten here in such a long time, i'd forgotten how deeelicious it was. haha. my mom and i ended up with a bill a bit over $40. :O メッチャ食べてるし．．．while we did have some togo stuff, it wasn't a lot. 太るわけでわね。

小龍包うまし！

so, in order to work off some of those calories, we decide to go to a golf range. こちらもまた久しぶり。i ended up doing really really well. i am now able to hit a ball without the tee, using a #7 iron and make it fly up. i'm even starting to hit it about 100yards. hehe. 一応結構な上達振りなのです。カコーンとキレイに打てたときは気持ちいいですね～。でも、うまい時と下手な時の差がヒドイ。there were about 2 times where i ended up hitting the wall in front of me... なぜぇぇぇぇぇぇ。

Dave & Busters

since i'm completely done with school, (including work) i decided to hang out with the bf and his friends. since he recently became 21, his friends are seizing every opportunity to take him out to drink. 私だって独占したいのに。ばぁか。

ま、そんなこんなで地元に一番近いDave & Busters に行くことに。私も始めて。i've heard lots of good rumors about the place but i've never been. dude, the place is really fun :D my sister had her senior banquet here. lucky.... mine was at a boring restaurant in burbank. haha. 結局、ビリアードとゲームを少々した。we went like 1.5 hours before closing so we didn't have too much time. we all got one alcoholic drink and that was it. i got a white peach sangria. おいしかった。へへ。
で、その後は男子共が腹が減ったからIHOPに。結局自分も食べちゃったけどね。got home around 1:30 so it wasn't too bad. haha. definitely want to go back to D&B so i can play around some more. :)

生Ice Hockey & 風来坊

yesterday was the last day of finals for me. so naturally, i went out last night with the bf. while cruising around town, we found an ice skating rink. we thought we might be able to skate (cuz i've been wanting to for a while now) but it was closed to the public. すると、そこで働いてるおじいちゃんが見学する？って中に入れてくれた。そこで練習試合してたのがホッケー。

i'm not an ice hockey person but it was kinda exciting to see it live. i watched 「PRIDE」with 木村拓哉 and it looked really interesting but never had much incentive to watch an actual game. でも、迫力あってすごかった!! 特に印象に残ったのが、目の前をパックが壁伝えに通った時。ドキドキしたぁ～。one of the players was right behind his own goal and had no one to pass it to to get to the other side. so he faces the wall, and before you know it, he slams the puck into the wall. the puck slides accross the surface of the wall and towards the middle of the rink. it was crazy!!! ホントびっくり。

afterwards, we went to eat a bit and drink at furaibo. the bf just turned 21 so this was kinda his pre-birthday dinner. haha. 生二つと主に揚げ物系を何品か頼んだ。やっぱりビールは今一好きじゃないけど、他のお酒は高いから、ビールにした。i'm saving up for vegas. haha. 楽しかった～。お腹は超いっぱいになったけど。
