Summer 2006 Part 2

Swimming in the sea!

My family (minus my brother who was away with his football group) and I went to IZU this weekend, and had a beautiful time. It's kind of strange because we left our house on uber early Friday morning, and came back late on Saturday night. The two days spent there was HOT, like 36 or so degrees hot, but it was LOVELY. Now, as I write this, there are three typhoons heading to Japan, one is already here and thus it is raining and very windy outside. And the place we went to over the weekend was actually on the news cause the train stations are flooded and what not... so we were really lucky!

Anyway, I spent hours and hours in the sea. My bikini (the blue one) was so old that the elastics were loose but that didn't stop me at all from just swimming and floating away! I can't even begin to describe my happiness at being on the beach, near the sea again. Those of you who know me well recall that I went to Phuket every single year since the age of 2... Since coming to Japan however I haven't been there! and so... you can imagine how happy I felt.


This is the second beach we went to. A rocky beach. Kawana Beach, Izu

Our way back to the car.
A new experience. Going in a hotspring. Not just a hotspring, but our very own private one! What an amazing sight!

Summer 2006 Part 1

On 3rd August 2006, Mar, Mummy, Rika-chan (my aunt) and I went to Disneysea. It was fantastically hot that day, and it was so much fun! We took quite a handful of pics and you can see most of 'em on my photo website! Anyway, we managed to ride on....

• Journey to the Centre of the Earth three times
• Indiana Jones Ride twice
• Raging Spirit twice
• Aquatopia once
• Railway thingy once
• 20000 leagues under the sea once

That's quite incredible! Anyway, I had an absolute blast, and I'm super glad I got to ride on my fave ride three times!

Me and mummy in the place where we ate our second or third snack of the day! hehe, Yum yum!
Me, with the Indiana Jones temple thingy in the background!

Rika-chan and me with Aquatopia showing in the background! An excellent ride on a hot summer day! This is us getting dry by the way!

Me with Centre of the Earth Volcano in the background! It's an awesome ride which involves a huge drop at the end in which you come out of the volcano! It's fantastic!

Me, Mar and mummy on Mickey Mouse train!

Mar and I with some of the Disneysea river in the background. My hair blown by the wind looks a bit odd! hehe

Me and Mar outside a shop at Disneysea - I love the way the whole themepark is modeled on old European towns!

Pics I promised...

But first!

Risa came to Japan not long ago, and we got to have dinner at mi casa, and go karaoke the next day! It was soooooooooo good seeing u again, and I can't wait till the next time! Love ya loads little sis!

Holy Moly, it's been AGES!

and I apologize for having not blogged in so long...

Since that time in June, I have been running around like a mad woman trying to fit work, school, and playtime all in one! hehe.

But now here I am, with no work, no school and just playtime for one whole week! YAY!

I went to Disneysea on Thursday the 3rd of Aug.
Then went to IZU, and swam swam swam, swam like I'll never swim again in the SEA. I didn't realize how much I'd missed that. Came back from Izu on Sat (my dad could only take a few days off) and am burnt and tanned all in one! Feels so gooood though, and I took loads of pics so I shall be posting them shortly.

But before that, I will go to dance and take dance classes from JOSHUA, who is here with the broadway show Moving Out, and I am EXCITED about that! If all goes well (if I can follow that is....) I will go again next week!

Greetings!

Helllo! Sorry long time no post! Been super busy with schoolio, work, and flea marketing and catching up with 'old' friends! (SACHI!)

Anyway, hope all is well, and everyone has caught the World Cup fever like I have! hehe. I try to watch as many matches as possible BUT i have to wake up early so it's been tough tough tough. And in any case, Japan has seen themselves out very early! as have all our Asian couterparts! boooo! Oh well, I am still cheering for a whole wad of other countries! haha including England, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Ghana! haha. So many teams (and hotties) to choose from, what to do! hehe. Anyway, just enjoying the high class football (well, save the England games which have so far been fairly uneventful, "no flair and imagination" - says Time Magazine!)

Anyhooooo, other than the World Cup, I have been going to school and work the usual usual, and that has been going great, but also I have met up with Sachi who had left us for a year! and also, we did a FLEA MARKET and sold our old stuff so we have space in our cupboards to buy a bunch of new stuff come this summer sale! hahaha!

So here are some pics!
Last Wednesday outside Ciao Chiang Mai, my faithful Thai restaurant in Kichijouji. (From left: Yuko, Miho, Me, Yuka, Sachi and Chris)



Yuka and I at our flea market spot at Yoyogi! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO hot - and we were worried that it was gonna rain! hah! From 9am - 4pm, selling our stuff was like a full time job! (Sat. 24th June 2006)

Me, Chris, Aya and Yuka under the bridge with all our stuff, overflowing our designated 2m by 2m sales spot! haha and the bicycle which belonged to some unknown person! (honto ni, omake de dareka ni agereba yokatta ne! hehe!)
Chris, Me, Aya and Sachi (?! - doko miteruno?! haha) It's so goooooood seeing u again Sachi!

The flea market began at 9am and we all ended up packing at around 4pm. It was so nice of Aya, Sachi, Mitsuho, Leslie-Ann, Lena, Jen to come stop by and it was a blast chatting with you all in the heat!

The best part about the day? When we used our earned coins to buy ice cream from Baskin and Robbins. I had a Small Triple Icecream with Waffle Cone with Rocky Road (YUM!), Nuts to yoU! (hehe), and Kick Off Crunch (what can i say? a world cup special!) and it was absolutely delish and to-die-for!

ORANGE (not green....!)

Your true color is Orange! You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.
