Kowaii!

Tuesday, April 27, 2004 Posted by Mary , , No comments
I swear, I think the islands of Japan are the most abused by Mother Nature among all the places on Earth. Why? Because there are earthquakes almost everyday. And, they have the worst typhoons ever! Today, the wind was blowing like crazy, and it was raining, too. I come from an archipelago in the Pacific...

Partey!

Sunday, April 25, 2004 Posted by Mary , , , No comments
Last night we went to Hard Rock Cafe for April's, Annie's, and our friend Natsuki's birthday. The place totally rocked! The food was very good, too. I really wanna go there again, soon! ^^; Anyway, when I came here to Japan, I thought I wouldn't get into anything Japanese. But guess what? I'm...

Oops!

Friday, April 23, 2004 Posted by Mary , No comments
I am now famous! Of course, because of something embarrassing I did! Yesterday morning, as usual, I turned on the radio and listened to AFN (Air Force Network). A while after that though, I had to turn it off because I had to take a shower and get ready for school. About thirty minutes later,...

Hmmm...

Something fishy happened yesterday at Starbucks. April, , and I went to one of their shops, and both Annie and I ordered and paid for Tall Chai Tea lattes. But, we both got served short ones. Hmmmm. That was really erm, fishy. It just seems more than a mistake when both of us got the wrong ones. In...

Easter

Last Easter Sunday, Annie, April, Ate Smile and I went to church. It was a Protestant Church and was erm... very nice. The people were very friendly, and during the service a Chinese woman who was a professional erhu player performed on-stage--she was very good! The service was in Japanese, but...

The Da Vinci Code rocks!

Wednesday, April 07, 2004 Posted by Mary , , No comments
I just finished reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and I must say, it is one helluva book. Normally, I don't read thrillers/suspense books, but I love history, and The Da Vinci Code was the #1 book on Amazon for a really long time, so I was really happy when I found a copy of it. Despite its...

Yoga

Tuesday, April 06, 2004 Posted by Mary No comments
Yay, I've started doing yoga. I found this great website that has illustrated yoga moves and all the essential things you need to know. It's really cool though, coz it's very easy to do, and you don't go around huffing and puffing, but at the same time it's still really rejuvenating. It's supposed...

*Cry cry cry*

I am so so disappointed. =( Today was the scheduled Cherry Blossom Festival at Yokosuka Naval Base, right? Well, the weather was bad so it got canceled. The sad thing is, my partner in crime (--thanks for putting up with my lunacies, gurl) and I only knew it got canceled when we got there. So in short,...

Grocery Shopping

Saturday, April 03, 2004 Posted by Mary , , No comments
A supermarket near Seya station, one of the places we frequent. I went to the supaa today (Japanese for supermarket) and everything was just so expensive as usual. I wanted to buy mangoes which were imported from the Philippines but they were almost US$2! Gah. Back home they're only maybe 20...

Welcome Party

Friday, April 02, 2004 Posted by Mary , , No comments
We just finished having the welcome party for the new students here at the dorm. As expected, the food served was the same with the food we had in parties here before. Mind you, I'm not complaining though. I'm just stating an observation. ^^; In fairness, they're always really good, though. I...

New Semester

Friday, April 02, 2004 Posted by Mary , No comments
I'm in school today because it's that time of the school year where everyone has to be in long lines and do all these stuff that thankfully, you only have to do once a semester. Yep, I guess you call it enrollment. For us this time however, since we're just exchange students, we're kinda like the students...

David Beckham

Thursday, April 01, 2004 Posted by Mary No comments
Why am I even writing this entry? To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure. I just have a few guesses, that's all. 1) I recently saw the new Pepsi commercial here in Japan. Who is in it? David Beckham. 2) Back home, my room is full of posters. Here, it only has one--with Posh and Becks in it....

The Return of Aragorn the Hottie (If he gets to be a king, then he should have some description!)

Thursday, April 01, 2004 Posted by Mary , No comments
Oi, Aragorn has returned! I finally saw The Return of the King! Yah, I know, I'm 3 months late, but spare me, since here in Japan, movies come late coz of the subtitling and all. But, yesterday when we saw it, it was POSH--in the true sense of the word! OK lemme explain. We arrived at the movie...
