Since I basically post the same thing on my other blog, I figure why continue this one? Blogger.com has been super good to me from the beginning, made so simple and easy for me to figure things out, and I totally fell in love with the concept of blogging through blogger.com. *kiss kiss* But since I pay for the other blog service provider, and it has become sort of hard for me to keep both of them

Went to the grocery shopping for Atkins Diet which.. Kevin is like so gung-ho about ... I was groggy and tired and just to think that .. for 2 weeks I won't be able to eat no fruits, no regular tea or coffee, no bread or pasta or rice.. started to piss me off. I was walking home a bit pissed off and saw this housewife with the baby in the baby trolly. She looked like an ordinary housewife, floral

Kev wants to start Atkins Diet with me. We were supposed to start today but with so much carb in our fridge, we decided to get rid of them today, and start tomorrow. I would always need instant energy boost so I used to heavily rely on carb, like pasta for lunch, energy drink, smoothie... I love carbo... can't use no caffeine either... I'd rather just eat less and exercise.. but oh well... we'll

We had some things to do at my parents' so we went to visit them, and shortly after we got there, my bro and his wife, kids came and we did a mini b-day thing for Go-chan. The yongest one of my bro's kids. He just turned 5 today. For Yuji(10 yr old), I gave him some cash because I didn't have any gift to give to him except for a card, and Go remembered it and he came up to me and goes, " Hey

This unbelievable thing happened to us tonight, but I will get to that later..so hold on to your pants... Today we went to see WWE Smackdown at Nippon Budokan. We had really good seats for a free ticket, it was probably the media section but it was a really good spot to view everything of what was going on. So many scalpers outside though! and the place was packed full of people. I was astonished

I totally forgot to blog on thursday, I was tired and needed sleep after being awake for 48 hrs. On thursday I went to see Natsuki's piped organ recital at Ikebukuro's Tokyo geijyutsu gekijo. She's due in September and for her to pull this recital with the big o' belly, that was something. She did a really beautiful performance. The piped organ at Geijyutsu gekijo was nice. It just sounded so

It's hot and I am busy. ARGH. We were planning to go to Izu this weekend but with so much stuff piled up.. plus we got free tickets to go see WWE match tomorrow night at Budokan, we decided to cancel the trip to Izu, well.. the ticket to stay at the hotel in Izu was free too.. so we just exchanged to a dinner plan at the hotel in Tokyo. A little escape would have been nice though. It's not a nice

I have friends from junior high school. and I still keep in touch with them on frequent occasion. Some people seem to find this amazing but hey, why not? We still exchange birthday gifts to each other, do girly stuff together. It gives me opportunities to go dine at nice restaurants and chat forever. My circle of friends from junior high school is made of 6 people. Me, Akiko, Yuki, Izumiko, Yoko

My friend Tomoko has signed up to participate in the San Francisco Race for the Cureｨ 5K Walk/Race (Sunday, September 26th) as a birthday present to herself and in honor of all the people in her life who have been touched by cancer: survivors, fighters, those who are no longer with us, and their friends and families. here is her website.

Woohoo! Tsuyu is over! Today's highest temperature in Tokyo is supposed to be 38 degree(Centigrade)... that's just crazy, I want to go to the pool!!!! Poor people in Nigata though, there is a storm and it's flooded everywhere... Sanjo city happens to be near where my mother's family is, so I am a bit concerened.. :( Anyway, Tsuyu is over.

My mind is pretty much occupied about contributing to this new fashion magazine called Glitter, I have a lot of mission already but I realize writing and doing stuff for magazine has always been my thing. I was a chief editor for the yearbook, both junior high school and high school, I worked so hard that I literally got sick after the yearbook came out. (My white blood cells and some other

My sleep problem is kicking back in again, it's so annoying. Anyway... Kev's having his "man" time alone with his buddy Yoshi tonight, I watched some DVDs and just been bored out of my mind. For lunch, we went to this place in our neighborhood called "otaru zushi". Take a closer look ..because this place don't have people working inside the shop. When we want specific kind of sushi other than

Women my age are starting to wear skimpy bright clothes ..not because it's hot (Well, that, too) but because of the Sex and the city boom finally hitting in Japan. The show is only broadcasted on WowWow so not many people have access to the show, and that's unfortunate. NHK BS2 used to air Beverely Hills 90210 and many other shows, but with a lot of sex scenes, Samantha's nudity, I suppose they

I registered another "pen name" with JASRAC. I am glad that I joined JASRAC as a member because they really do look out for you. I wrote this lyric for Kumi Koda's "Theme of Sister Jill", but at that point they weren't even sure if they were going to release this song as a CD. So the deal was that I got this as a shot payment. and I thought I was done with this. The previous work I did for her

Yet another hot and humid day. This weather gets so much out of you.. and it's just so suppai again everywhere I went, especially on the train.. and I just wanted to faint..I am so broke right now that I can't afford to take taxi everywhere I go, and it's even worse when you are stuck in a taxi when the taxi driver is suppai!

It was yet another hot and humid day. Today is so far the hottest, 35 degree (centigrade)...whew. On the train to work, I was lucky to find a seat, but these two men on both sides stunk like crazy sweat along with bunch of other sweaty "salarymen" in suits.. I truly feel sorry for them but I was starting to get sick... so I got off at one station and moved. For sweaty body odor, we say "suppai"(

Mebisa Yoshida. 13 yr old Thai girl came to the station after school for doing the interview with us. She was escorted by her attorney and her "obaachan", who is married to a Japanese man living in Tokyo who adopted her, (she's a mother of the father of Mebisa. Her dad passed away before she was even born by the traffic accident.). Mebisa was wearing the Japanese school uniform and looked

Went to visit my parents today to bring photos, brochures for a bunch of stuff for Hawaii and DVD that Kev worked really hard on with his iMovie. Actually turned out really neat, with the BGM right on the spot and all. My dad immediately started working on the driver's papertest sample that I brought back for him, and he was asking Kev questions about the road rules while watching the DVD of us

It's so hot and humid in Tokyo today!! This humidity is killing me.. we have an emergency with our water pipe under the sink, the pipe has a crack and the water shoots out from the crack, so we can't use one of our sink where we brush our teeth, gargle, and wash our hands. We made a trip out to Tokyu hands to see if we can find the same pipe, Kev thought he did, and turns out that it wasn't the

Tonight was the wedding party for Yuko and Masahiro at Verfarre in Roppongi. We had a party at Kyoka restaurant first, their steak was sooooooo good :) Anyway, 99.9% people there were industry people including some singers, and we had fun! We all had to write haiku with the theme "Verfarre", we also did this wild crazy cash game called janken game. This was a very popular game among salaryman

Today's guest was America Zarigani. Funny guys. I stayed at the station til late to do a phone interview with Jam boy, Craig Flatman ..15 yr old who has grown up on a diet of jam sandwiches. He was really a good kid. As a baby, he choked on solid food which is believed that it might have caused his eating condition.

I actually have a jetlag. I suppose I am a human after all. Anyway.. I made a trip to the doctor today and asked him about what to do about my regular prescription when I move to US because US health insurance system is really messed up compared to Japanese system.

Back to Japan and straight to work. We left at around 7 in the morning to leave for the airport, returned the car, and it wasn't crowded at all. The plane had enough empty seats that Kev used all 4 seats to sleep all the way through, I used 2 to enjoy the window seat and one more to chill. Got on the bus right away after we got back to Narita. It was raining a little when we were flying in, but

June 31 Mon 3 days gone by so fast.. It certainly was a busy day but a fun day :) I couldn't sleep after taking a nap for 4 hrs last night, so I stayed up, watched the sunrise, and I was so bored that I woke out to the beach, stopped by at ABC mart for some spam musubi and drinks and stuff, chilling on the bench..checked out Hyatt Regency and Studio Rim..Studio Rim is so tiny..

June 30 Sunday You can only do so much in such short limited days of stay. but since I have a lot to finish on Monday, Today was kind of a chill day. Though we did run around and did stuff on tokyo time. We woke up at noon. I woke up in the middle of the night due to jetlag, (just like now, I fell sleep at 10pm and woke up at 1:30am.. bummer) killing time looking at the sunset from the balcony..

Work as usual, but Mizuki invited us to come out to see The Beautiful Losers perform at Super Deluxe in Roppongi so Kev and I met up at Roppongi Hills after I was done with work and went to check them out. Their first set of the show was already finished so we caught the latter half. Here they are!We were drinking Long island iced tea and beer.. and just having a good time. and they had

I am too tired to blog tonight.. but here are some pics.. this is the guest we had on the show today. This man is from Private investigator agency called GAL and we talked about the behind the story about people who take steal shots of women's underwear from underneath the skirt or from the bath window or while you are on the long escalator and such.. following the news about Mr Uekusa, famous

I went to Sunrise studio today, famous for being the anime production company for Gundam. When I got to the station, the shopping street had this sign saying "Animetown" with Gundam logo on it. It's such a small town and didn't exacly look like there were a whole lot going on though as far as anime goes except for the fact that Sunrise is there. Anyhow, I couldn't sleep much last night with my

Typhoon is hitting hard. Windy and stormy outside.. I feel sorry for all the people who were either flying or taking shinkansen today because majority of them, are canceled or delayed. anyway.. This is my poor collar picture. i am going to be wearing this collar for a few days at least.. and in pain.. and daily visits to the doctor. I have places to go tomorrow and it sucks that I have to wear

Went to my parents house today for Father's day, but somehow it was turned into my bro's oldest son's b-day party. When I got there, they were digging a hole in the garden with my dad, picking potatoes and tomatoes, cucumbers that they grow, and the youngest 4 yr old one comes out and say " Hey, I am making a hole to bury you deep!" Not funny... my bro's kids, especially the youngest one is

It doesn't even feel like June. Is it really tsuyu? Today was another beautiful day..and its just so nice that it has been like this for a while. I went to get a new pair of glasses and contact lenses made. Glasses are so cheap nowadays. and they don't make you wait like in the old days. Very cool. Same thing with contact lenses, cheap and fast. saw eye doctor first and my eyes have weakened a

Father's day is coming up.. I wondered around Omotesando looking for a gift after I went to Keishicho to pick up some paperwork. and I just can't think of anything.. I have given him all I can pretty much think of in the past.. and I know what he really wants from me. He wants me to be happy. He wants me to show him that I am content, stable(mentally,financially)and happy and he wishes my husband

When I go into the studio, I spend a decent amount of time checking at least 10 different newspapers, sports shinbun, just to get a feel for what's happening. As we reported on the show, Toei Video has made an announcement stating that they will postpone the DVD/Video release of Battle Royale 2 eternally (pretty much sounds like "its canceled" to me..) after what happened in Nagasaki. 10 yr old

Nigari, the soy bittern is the hottest health food right now. Supposed to work for diet, hair growth, hair smoothness, pollen fever, constipation, and sooooo much more. Is Nigari that good to be true? That's what we talked about on the show today. I got nigari that we bought for the show home, not the liquid type that you mix with food or drinks, I got the one that you actually make your homemade

Kev's caught a really weird cold. It's not even like a cold and he keeps coughing and the problem is only with his throat. argh, I certinly hope he'll be better but it's rating week for me for the next two weeks... so pleeease don't give it to me!!!! Well, I am taking a written "test" next week. I am not saying what it is for ..because if I fail, it's pretty embarassing, hehe. but I haven't

Just got back from 3 day trip to Okinawa for a wedding. We had soooooooo much fun and the wedding was absolutely beautiful!!! Yuko was the funniest bride ever! We met so many of their friends there and had a great time drinking awamori and orion beer left and right... we were drunk the whole wkend :P Okinawa is such an amazing place. Everytime we go there, some kind of miracle happens, or we end

Rain, rain, rain... I cannot wait for tsuyu to be over. (but it has just started though) More I look at the dress I bought the other day for the wedding, I was starting to wonder..like.. this might not be appropriate for a wedding.. not classy enough. So I went ahead and bought another one today at roppongihills before work. I love it! I think I will finally settle for this... I suppose it may

Typical tsuyu's muggy day. Yucky. Today we covered the story about how a 10 yr old girl in Nagasaki prefecture killed her friend Satomi Mitarai by knife. They were really good friends, They were the blog buddies, they shared the passwords to get into the site, they shared a lot. Shortly before this girl killed her friend, her friend Satomi, was writing nasty stuff about this girl's weight and

All of us could use a little time away from bfs/gfs or husbands/wives to pamper yourself for a change once in a while. Today was my day off, (odd day for a day off, but that's how we freelancers live) so I ran around to do some errands, and went to Shinjuku to look for some clothes for a wedding this wkend in Okinawa. Being that the wedding is in Okinawa we shouldn't really overdress ourselves,

Uh-huh, check it out, Ouch. This is for 2 vaccinations.. for measles and rubella...expencive..immunisation cost me 14500 yen... (total amount today for the medical exam was 41,475 yen..) Realisticly, I didn't have to do these vaccinations. I had measles when I was 1 and a half, (almost died from it) and rubella when I was like 4-ish..got it from my bro. It's on the record.

Tsuyu(rainy season)has just started. Rain and mosquitos. Yikes! I do not enjoy carrying umbrellas.. humidity, all of that stuff. A month and a half worth of patience begins from today *sigh*. I came out to my parents house today so I could pick up my paperwork for my residency, and I wasn't sure where I belong for various reasons, so a few days ago, I called the city office, and the lady didn't

Went to get the massage by whom Kev calls "voodoo man" in Nishi Ogikubo. He performs wonders, he sees souls, he has done extensive training for years and years to get to where he is but greed is prohibited, so he leads a simple life probably stricter than a monk. He doesn't charge much for the massage either compared to some other massage places around. He does not advertise himself, unless it's

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the coffee... A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was

Check for more pictures of "cosplayers" and people at the anime convention on Fan's view, For a-kon, click the ongoing one.

When I was in junior high school,(yes in the 80's) me and my friends made a rap song with lyrics just rambling on comedian's names.

Kev took off to Texas today. I don't enjoy coming home to a house where I have to pull out the key out of my bag to get in :( (spoiled) Anyway, with so little sleep (and badly disturbed sleep,too) these past few weeks especially, it is totally killing me, so when I went to the dr today to get my regular dosages, he prescribed me some pills to help me sleep better temporarily.

Took off to American Embassy to be on time for our 9am appointment.. turns out that we ended up waiting in this loooong line for an hour just to get through the gate inside the embassy, and then more to get inside... the wait was driving us crazy.

I joined this social networking service today called Gree. My former co-worker, the producer for Club Beat Freak show, Yuko sent me an invitation. I guess it's more for Japanese people and the number of Japanese people who are registered on gree.jp is more than the number who are signed up with orkut.com.

Gekidan Hitori was the guest today. We had fun. I was able to do a phone interview with Pfc.Lynndie England's attorney's paralegal assistant today. Whew, a big load off my shoulder. Now I am going to have to translate the whole interview. I haven't really done this whole process for a long while so it's actually refreshing. As I worked into way past midnight, my producer gave me a ride home.

He's very "human" and a brilliant person who has been fighting this battle to bring back his family for long as he can remember, we all were so touched by his honesty, devotion and how he has learned to open up so much for us over the

Way past 3am. Kevin is making pork chops. That's how fxxked up our schedules are. Anyway. I read on today's news that according to Toyo university's survey, college students in Japan write the average of 20 emails by cell phones. That many?! When I was in college, I had a pager, cellphones were still rare back then. I got my first one shortly after I graduated, but of course it was a simple one

Well, 4th saturday night of each month.. it's Exile's night. I was exhausted and didn't even have the energy to go, but as usual, I ended up going with Kev and Yumi. When we got there, the live act was about to start, staring this month, they have just started the live gig during the exile's night and its first one was Jumpei Shiina, a brother of another artist, Ringo Shiina. The crowd was a bit

Typhoon is gone. It was still really windy early this morning, but in the afternoon it was all nice and blue sky. Well, Tetsu&Tomo known for their "Nandedaro" song was the guest on the show. I was a bit dissapointed that they didn't come in their red and blue regular outfit. but it was fun. I am out of energy to write tonight, so I am going to watch the film called Kundun(Dalai Lama movie) and

I got a package sent today from avex and it was from Tokuda-san. It was Kumi Koda's new single "Love&Honey". Ah that's right, I wrote an English lyric for "The theme of Sister Jill". It was listed as a track number 2 as Love &Honey version. Kumi added some Japanese lyrics and more music on what's been used in the movie Cutie Honey. Sounds good, I am happy. I like seeing my name on there :) (

The Japanese government has been discussing a revision to Article 113 of the Japanese Copyright Act. The proposed amendment to the current bill is in direct opposition to the interests of both consumers and artists. The revision would permit recording companies to place ﾒimport entitlementsﾓ, allowing them to restrict third parties from importing commercially available media (CDs, DVDs, etc.)

Ms Hazuki Kajiwara from a volunteer group called Pet Lovers Meeting was the guest on the show today. About 8 people from this group are operating the free hotline for people who are experiencing the loss of pets.

Despite its US release being blocked by Disney, we will get a chance to see Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore this summer! I got the email of announcement today from its distributor in Japan called Gaga, saying the film will start showing at Ebisu Garden Cinema and some other places.

A flower that grows in the desert? Isn't that nice? She's gotta be strong...! That's moonflower. Perhaps no other flower does more for the nighttime garden than the Moonflower. Blooming during the night, it's large white blooms seem to illuminate the garden... beckoning you to come closer. Planted near a deck or porch, its heavenly fragrance permeates the air, adding to it's appealing beauty.

Spent time with my mom today. I went over her way, had lunch together, did some shopping, we both got foot massages using the coupon from Queesway that I gave her for her b-day .. and headed for parents' house and worked on the translation for their warranty of the title for the house they bought in Hawaii. My mom was flipping through the photobook I made for them from the house hunting trip we

Whether it was a murder or suicide, it doesn't change the fact that Kurt Cobain is gone, but if you haven't seen this film Kurt and Cobain by Nick Broomfield, check out this site called Justice for Kurt Cobain, which is up and running by the private investigator named Tom Grant..who was hired by Courtney Love prior to the discovery of Cobain's body. It makes you wonder.

I don't know if it is a problem with my computer, but recently I write a post and just when I am about to hit publish post, my computer freezes up. I hate it. Since it erased what I wrote just now, I am going to make it short.. So I could not sleep til 6 or 7am. I just can't sleep at night. So I meant to go to the press conference, and woke up when my alarm went off, but I was thinking.. hmm

Yumi's friend Tomo-chan is a chef who has studied in Italy for many years and just got back to Japan like a year ago, she mostly does corporate parties or commercial shoot doing catering. She does a cooking event every once a month at this Spanish bar called Venencia in Nakameguro. She has been doing this for a half a year already, and it happened to be today so we went, Kana-sensei came out too

I haven't had any sleep in 2 days now. But somehow managed to catch a film called Big Fish by Tim Burton which just opened in theatre today in Japan. I was sleep deprived, in a bad mood, exhausted, and thought that I would probably end up falling asleep during the movie. Kevin is a huge Tim Burton fan, but I am not crazy about him like Kev is, so anyway.. we sat down with the bag of junkfood take

Had a meeting at Kodansha in the afternoon and took off to the studio as usual. Talked about illegal export of seeds to grow special branded vegetables or fruits that Japanese farmers developed spending so many years. Now those fruits and veggies have been imported back to Japan and it's been a huge issue. (such as expencive strawberries, beans etc) The guest on the show, a man from the Ministry

I had a dream about being bitten by mosquitos and sure enough, I woke up all itchy and found a mosquito bite on my arm. Mosquitos don't seem to like me much lately though, maybe my blood is not yummy any more compared to when I was little when I was always the one with countless mosquito bites when there wer plenty of other people. I have been having strange dreams lately. When I wake up and

I am bored with this template already though, but I've got other blog by typepad up and running, and I like that one there, so I am just keeping this blog just for the sake of it. Blogger.com got me into blogging in the first place anyway. I also moved my Japanese blog over to excite blog. It's free and really neat. The layout is much like the one of movable type.

We celebrated Mizuki's belated birthday at this turkish restaurant called The Marmara in Takadanobaba. Never had turkish food before other than those yummy pita sandwich from the vendors so we were all looking forward to this.

My bro's family wasn't there yet, my dad was trying to make us look decent, I suppose. as we are always late, and they are always there before us.

Today's guest on the show was the comedian, Yurioka Cho Tokkyu. A staff just casually asked me how I liked him, and I said I really liked him, because he was reeeeally nice and humble. He said that its unfortunate that he doesn't get the attention that he deserve. and I asked him why he doesn't. and he said "Oh that's because he's a nice person". ............ huh?
