ホンダ屋City of Industry

went here last night with the bf, my bestie, and her bf. the bestie insisted she wanted honda-ya so we went to the city of industry one. 初めてです。小東京のは何回か行ったことあるけど、こっちのほうが新しいし、行く方向と逆だからか行った事が無い。

it really is similar to the one in little tokyo. we sat in the tatami section. not good. sooo uncomfortable.... で、私はもう事前にご飯食べてたから、少々つまむことに。山芋そうめんと豆腐サラダ。それに花泡かというお酒。it was sparkling sake. 結構飲みやすくておいしかった。drank the entire bottle by myself. lol.

since this was the first time meeting the bestie's bf, it was really fun. he seemed like a nice guy :) 今回はもうちょっと長続きしてほしいね。

The Hangover Part II

couldn't decide on whether to watch hangover 2 or super 8. ended up going for hangover 2 tho, since we thought super 8 would be crowded. なんか、1より良くないって聞いていたから、正直あんまり期待していなかった。でも、想像以上に面白かったし良かったと思う。

it was really funny. i mean, there were a lot more darker parts to it, like i heard, but it was still good. the whole patter was exactly the same as the first one. maybe, more of a twist would have helped. ま、でも、分かりやすくていいのかも？しかしまぁ、バンコクは衝撃的ですな。the place where the wedding was being held seemed like a really pretty place. maybe it was phuket? that's thailand, right??? でも、バンコクってすごいね。ちょっと汚らしいかも。but it seems like a really intersting place. it's a transvestite heaven so... lol. stu was great. :) i thought teddy was cute. mason lee. but his acting is a bit awkward. もうちょっとうまくやってほしいですね。

it was good. would definitely watch it again if i had the chance.

お仕事

so, i'm trying to put together a report for that UCLA Anderson Forecast thing i went to last week. man, it's hard... てか、めんどくさい。訳さなきゃいけないから尚のこと。この訳すのはホントいやになってきた。apparently, in this section, i'm the most adept at it. でもなぁ、別に専門に勉強した訳ではないから、あんまり頼らないでほしい。自分でやれぇぇぇぇ！！

on the other hand, i finally got my id card for work. after almost a week and a half.. -_- ホントなら、一日で出来上がるみたいだけど、全然届かなくて、昨日やっときた。apparently, the security people that make these cards were so unorganized that the guy in charge actually got fired... 怖い。ま、それを私のせいと言われたら、完全なる逆恨みだよねぇ。私悪くないもん。自分でちゃんとしなかったのが悪いんだよ!お願いだから復習しに来ないで。

no it's not....

HH @ Chaya

last night, i had HH (happy hour) with my coworkers for the first time. the venue was Chaya. 初めてです。会社から歩いていける距離だから楽でした。i think they validate for parking but i'm not sure. regardless, i could use my parking at my workplace for free so i just used that and walked.

結構高かったかも。一品一品はそうでもないけど、お酒とか頼むとね。i had one mango bellini (champagne and mango puree) and that was it. でも、他の皆さんが結構アルコール・飲み物頼んでたから、最終的にはみんなで$160チップ込みになった。割り勘だから、あんまり飲んでないと損だね。（笑）but i was driving so i really couldn't drink, even if i wanted to.

there was yakitori, and some other happy hour dishes. i think we got sweet potatoe fries (pretty good), kobe beef bbq melt (really good!!), king salmon salad (mmm... delicious), corn with feta cheese (eh), etc. we also got dessert, which was really good. ま、結構色々頼んだね。でも、色々お話とか出来て楽しかった。only thing was when the other three people were talking about the people at work and i had no clue what they were talking about. まだ全員覚えてないからね．．ま、次回が楽しみだね！

Happy Father's Day?

today is father's day. and what am i doing? chauffeuring my mom around... -___- 今日に限ってなんか、色々行くところが。we went to torrance and long beach. this is kinda how my day went:

first, we go bowling. left the house around 10. ボウリング場でたらもうすぐ12時ぐらいに。we head over to torrance cuz my mom wanted to go to omaha steaks for some sale they had. we eat lunch before going to the omaha steaks places since we were all pretty hungry. 久しぶりに近江ささやのうどんでした。絶品！and then, we go to omaha but they don't have what my mom wants. so she decides to go to their long beach store. -___- でも、その前にミツワとマルカイによってから行ったから、ロングビーチに着いたころにはもうすでに3時過ぎ。we did shopping some more and finally head home. by the time we get home, it's close to 5. 一日を無駄にした感たっぷり。*sigh*

i seriously need to move out...
