複雑な心境

this was already news last night, but it was also on the top page of today's L.A. Times. it's about the marine who risked his own life to save his comrades and got the highest honor medal for it last night. 昨日のうちにちょっぴりラジオで話を聞いたんだけど、あんまり詳しく知らなかったから今日に新聞で読みました。

it was really sad, yet it made me smile. the guy is really a good guy. when you read his story, it makes you want to cry but at the same time, it makes you smile that there are people like him out there. でも、やっぱり悲しいね。あんま人事じゃないしね。一応友達が空軍に入ってるから。i mean, he's not in a dangerous place right now, but you never know.

anyways, the full story from L.A. Times is available here.

Mochi Cream & ドジっこ

so the new dessert place in the Mitsuwa in Torrance finally opened. upon checking it out, the first thing i notice are the mochi creams. it's like mochi ice cream, but more variety and not frozen. とにかく種類がめちゃめちゃあるの。一個$1.80とまぁまぁなお値段。これは買ってみなくてはということで購入。i got the darjeeling, my mom got the red potato, and my sister got the caramel pudding. mine was the best, imo. my mom's was okay. i don't like caramel, so yea... でも、ホントおいしかった。ダージリンの香りが猛烈。サイズもちょうどイイ感じ。また違うのを試したなぁ。

oh, and i also fell yesterday. もう、それは豪快にすでーーーーんと。滑ったんですね。in my hallway. i was kinda running in my slippers and i guess there wasn't as much grip as i'd like it to have and bam, i'm on the floor. で、その拍子に部屋のドアに穴を開けちゃったみたい。馬鹿ですね。ひじもちょっぴりすりむいたし。but it's okay, it's a cheap door anyways. i still need to figure out how i'm gonna fix it tho...

Event & 本多屋

so the event last night was kinda ぐだぐだ。it seems like a lot of people weren't aware of their parts in the event until really last minute. so everything was kinda rushed. でも、一応何とか無事終わりましたね。思ったより人は来なかったけど。。。でも、イベント自体が長かった。it seemed to take forever. i'm just glad it's done.

so, afterwards, a few co-workers and i decided to go to honda-ya for dinner. 一応食べ物はイベントで出たけど、お菓子類が多かったからね。で結局本多屋で軽くつまめる焼き鳥やら色々頼むことに。なんか、気のせいかメニューが変わってたり、焼き鳥の種類が増えてたと思う。ぼんぢりが最高にウマかったでっす! but man, it was a loooooong day.

あげぽよ

最近良く耳にします。but in my mind, i'm like ??? で、調べたら、最近JK（女子コーセー）の間での流行語だとか。要するには、アゲアゲ↑って意味らしい。ugh, stupid japanese people and there knack of coming up with new funky words... なんか、それ以外でも、「～ぽよ」ってのが流行ってるみたいね。語尾に使ったり、他の言葉の後に付け足したりと色々。アメリカにいながら日本の流行語についていくのは難しいなぁ。

こういう娘たちに流行ってるのか？
