Cool Random Pic. :)

Hello, not gonna be a very long post today. I've just been exploring some places around the area. I also went shopping and stuff. There's nothing new to say really, that's why. Costco hasn't called and oh yeah! I forgot to mention. My friend, whom I went out with today, brought me to this part of the city called... er... i can't remember... something like Hachi-oga? I don't remember. But it was nice there. It's got a lot of shoe shops, which is actually what I was looking for. And so I got a pair of neat puma shoes. Wish I could post the pic of it, but my gramps borrowed the camera for a day. So, yeah, Hachi place was interesting. We ate together at this Thai restaurant. It was good. My friend is named Yuki. She's really nice. :) She's into anime like me. She'll take me around Akihabara for the anime/manga.

Homesick???

Well today I'm just sorta been lazing around a bit. Nothing much to do around here much. I'm going to see a friend I met at the party the other day. Costco hasn't called yet. Darn! Anyway, that's all I really have to say. Hehe. Sorry for the boring post. Can't help it. I have this feeling in me that I can't understand. It almost feels like loneliness. Maybe I'm getting homesick?? 

Drawing

Sigh... it's a beautiful day in Tokyo. The autumn here is just fantastic. So beautiful, serene, peaceful... I couldn't help it so I went over to the park nearby and started sketching things that I saw and drawing some Anime characters that I know. (I won't be posting them up, fyi!) I'm not much of an artist but i really like the relaxing feeling of drawing and interpreting what you see in real life onto a blank sheet of paper. It's quite soothing.

So I was drawing trees and people... took some photos. Oh yeah, i was trying to draw Ninjai as well. He seems pretty simple but, trust me, it's a lot harder. I kept getting his hat wrong and his body. Man, basically just the whole thing. At that moment, I knew I wasn't meant to be an artist. In fact, I decided that when I couldn't draw a fricking square. hahah.

YOyo ma!

So that outing with my granpa was awesome! We went out to his friends house for the weekend a little bit outta town. The house was an old japanese house but it was huge. His friend is a bit rich, I think. But that was good because there were so many people that came over. Young and Old. It was a lot of fun because I got to meet a lot of cool people and practice my conversational japanese. Most of them seemed somewhat impressed by my fluency. HAR HAR.

So the whole night was one big bash. Maybe that's over exaggerating. It was my first Japanese Paati. Most of them were drinking and smoking, but I'm still underage for that kinda stuff. But that didn't stop me from rocking out on the karaoke! Hahah. Luckily, they had some English songs avaliable so I was able to sing some U2 songs, and lame pop songs I knew. Hahaha. ANyway, it was lots of fun. I took some pictures with some of my new friends. In fact, next week I think I'm going to meet up with my granpa's niece of something. He's going to take me to this district in Tokyo. I forget what it's called. Maybe Harajuku or something to check out the artsy scene there. That'll be definitely fun.

So Costco hasn't called yet. But I'm sure it'll be soon. My granpa says that I'm being impatient. haha. Anyway, gotta go out to the groceries. Jaa!

 
I wish someday I will visit Fujisan. This is a picture my sister took when she went to Hakone. I heard its beautiful there. Maybe I should visit there this weekend? It's not so far from Tokyo! Don't you think the mountain looks so majestic? It does to me! It's been sitting there for who knows how long, watching over Japan like a demigod. Wow. I'd love to take snapshots of Mt. Fuji with my awesome camera. :) 

Holidays...

It's a long weekend here. I hope we get to go somewhere. I wouldn't mind going back to the beautiful Ueno park again. It was very beautiful there. If not, it's okay. My granpa is planning to take me out eating. He is so cool! I LOVE FOOD! I can't wait. Then we're going to go to a friend of his who's going to have a party. I'll get to meet other people which will also be a good time for me to practice my Japanese. 

I talked to my mom this morning. It brought back a few memories and made me miss the dry lands of california. She's doing well with her boyfriend and stuff and she hopes I'm doing alright. AND I AM, man. No need to worry, I told her. We talked about other things like the weather, the time difference, if I found a girl yet... haha... She's going to go to my family Thanksgiving gathering in Sac. I told her to greet my cousins. 

So... life continues for me...
