Some updates.
I've been a xanga addict for couple of days, so こっちで書く気あんましないんやけど、まーいいや。笑I won't post pics on this site anymore cuz it's so much easier on Xanga...多分、ザンガの移転すると思う。楽天さん今までありがとう♪ｗｗOn a sad note, my beloved doggie is dying in a day or two, but since she hasn't passed away yet and i don't wanna talk like she's dead, so i'll fully write about it on xanga once she passes away.チェルちゃん、今までありがとぅ。

Hong Kong '05
This was my fourth or fifth time going to Hong Kong, a lovely city full of excitement (from shopping), joy (from shopping) and amusement (from shopping).No, but seriously, shopping is definitely fun in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong was just really fun overall. This time, I spent half of my days swimming and tanning. I'm already starting to peal around my nose... bleh :(Well well, enough said. I'll start off by showing (off) you some of my accomplishments (a.k.a. extacy... fufufu tomoko yea baby). Yes... pure extacy of shopping... Marvelous eh? The filling of the suitcase with shopping bags, the fulfilling heart with satisfaction, and the vanishing money from my wallet... ah... i'm lovin' it.Also, my pure addiction of perfumes/cologne has done it again.And here are some other highlights of the trip. Soy Sauce on Parade! Neon~ Neon~ Who knows how long~... wait I kinda forgot the lyric. Big Dior objet d'art.Look what a single man can do when he is dead hungry from walking all day. All gone! Me in my favorite dim sum restraurant, Happy Garden. Nice little Asian-roof Tree in the middle of an office buildings.A! Fuyu-no-Sonata in Chinese!!Humongous Louis Vuitton Cherry Monogram Suitcase!! Nice pic of my mom and I... hey I look a little macho in here. Oh man, I was swimming all day every day during Hong Kong. With a salesgirl from a shop called TOUGH. Oh man, the TOUGH salespeople are sooooo damn aggressive... they come to you holding 500 trillion T-shirts in their hand and suggesting you to wear every single one... Japanese version of Engrish.I'll miss traveling with my mom since this is most likely going to be the last vacation trip with my mom.Well, that's all for now. About a month left before school starts eh!

Hmmm...
The London Terrorist attack is just terrible... :( I don't wanna get too political on my homepage about it, but it's quite sad (i mean sad by "sympathy-for-the-victims sad" and "the-bombers-are-pathetic" sad) to break the London's happiness (from being selected as the city for Olympic) and the London's people's happiness... even some lives.Just when we thought that the world was gonna be peaceful once again... it's just wrong.I hope everyone from CA is alright...R.I.P. to the victims and my sincere condolences to the London citizens.

Tanabata Party~~
Yo~ Today is TANABATA, not that I care.Well, Tanabata is (according to my handy-dandy electronic dictionary) the Star Festival, and it is on July 7th. It is one of the five seasonal festivals in Japan which includes 1/7 the Jinjitsu (we eat seven-leaf rice porridge), 3/3 the Girls Day, 5/5 the Boys Day, 7/7 the Tanabata and 9/9 the Gold Flower day (i dun't have any idea what that is though). There is a story about this couple in the sky who can only meet each other on the Tanabata Day when the milky way becomes the bridge for them and blah blah blah, i dunno the exact story.Well anyways, our party last night had nothing got to do with any of this. We just met up and ate dinner and went to Karaoke and had a blast time!Well, the people at dinner place gave us this little piece of paper to write a wish on it and hang them on a Sasa leaves, this is a custom we do on Tanabata day. So we did have a little enjoyment of Tanabata.Unfortunately, my mom's being a bitch and I'm somehow grounded for the rest of July (or maybe even August)... I've been doing my homework and stuff pretty hard... oh well, she thinks it's for the better so... heck.Plus Hong Kong is coming up in 4 days!! Ahh I'm so excited...!

Chad Michael Murray...
Hmmmm.....I don't get it.I just don't get it.What part of this sexy-eyed,Clean-cut,Super-rich hunk Chad Michael Murray is considered hot..!He's just a fucking tard with bigass nipples...Gah, Ew.I'm sorry Chad fans, but I really hate him for some odd reason. It's just his trying-to-be-or-not-sexy-mysterious look that he's doing and his nasty big nipples that supposed to turn everyone off. "Oh My God. Becky look at his nipples, it is sooooooo big! They look like one of those, lil-kim nipples!" Oh, um, I guess no one can beat Lil' Kim, but surely Chad got them big... ugg disgusting.And yea, Amy is damn right... he DOES look old huh...Hokay, sorry for a very pointless entry. I'm sorry i got bored of trying to come up with ideas for English comparative essay... gosh I didn't get "Crossing The River"... that book was so boring to me...Well, gotta keep working, adios!The True YouYou want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed.With respect to money, you are a bit stingy.You think good luck might come your way, but if it does you'll be so surprised you'll burst out laughing.The hidden side of your personality tends to be methodical in your ways - with trouble adapting to the rules of society.You are tend to think about others' feelings a lot, perhaps because you are so eager to be liked.When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you don't have any particular type in mind, but you are inclined to look for someone who will say yes when you ask him / her out.Who's the True You?

An ordinary entry on an ordinary day.
Mmm... I haven't got much to write about, but guess what, I'm going to HONG KONG in a week! :)Finally freedom (just for about 5-6 days though...) from summer break homeworks, almost-senior pressure and university decisions coming up.Yet it scares me when I find myself thinking about what summer break homework books I should bring on the way to read... such corruption.I heard that the hotel i'm staying has a really nice outdoor pool, so I'm gonna tan myself to the max... hehe I'm so looking forward!Oh the weather in Hong Kong is craaazy... it's much much hotter than Japan of course, but the inside is air-conditioned to the max... so I even gotta bring some jacket or something to prevent myself from freezing inside any building... i'm not joking!!Plus, the city is raining. By "raining", i don't mean that the weather is bad in the city. It's the water dripping from the air conditioning of the buildings!! It's so constantly dripping everywhere sometimes you'd think maybe it's raining or something!! Well, that's an exaggeration.Anyways, this will probably be the last vacation trip with my mother, so i'm gonna miss this.Well, anyhoo, I dunno what else to write about, so I'll start listing my favorite movies that you should all watch!I usually like horror movies but not necessarily slaughtering ones. I love unique movies with beautiful sceneries. Romance and comedy is also my favorites. What kind of movies do you like?The CellMy #1 favorite movie. It's too beautiful for me to even explain.Final Destination (both 1 & 2)Ahhh gives me shivers whenever I watch this movie. Some say this's bad, but I certainly don't think so.The Ring (both 1 & 2)The Japanese "RINGU" is much scarier, but I like these better because it's more dramatic and beautiful.The OthersBeautiful movie with beautiful Nicole Kidman. Surprise ending.S1M0NEFinally some non-horror movie eh? I just love the story and the acting of Al Pacino (is that how you spell his name?)The HoursB-E-A-U-tiful movie. I haven't read Mrs.Dalloway yet. love actuallyThis is such a sweet movie...sigh Makes me feel so alone everytime I watch it.The PleasantvilleA really nice storyline with nice color effects. Cute movie!!Far From Heaven Serious and moving movie... I think Julianne Moore's acting is fabulous in this movie.Hmmm, can't think anymore.-------------edit--------------My Best Friend's WeddingAh, I love how Julia Roberts is so desperate and silly in this movie! Sweet one.-------------edit--------------Oh yea, thanx (the-other... haha ほんまどっちやねん、分かってるけど) Gen and couple of others for commenting on my entries. Nice to hear from u guys!Well, gotta take a bath, so bugger off! Adios~

ROCKAPELLA @ Blue Note Osaka
Yesterday was the Rockapella Concert at Blue Note Osaka.Oh. My. Gah.Tomoko, Sonal, Hiro, Chie and I were just stunned.That was like the very first time I truly understood how one group of performers were tight. Their performance was so much more than just amazing... I would probably degrade them by trying to explain it in words so I won't. I'll just say that it was one of the VERY best concert i've ever attended!!So Tomoko, Sonal, Hiro, Chie and I had approximately 4-5 hours of free time before the concert started so we started cruising the building. So the building that Blue Note Osaka was in (not exactly "in" because Blue Note was underground, and this building was just above it) was really really sophisticated and chic.Sexxxxxxxy shoes from Gucci... oh man that's dandy...Paparazing Ms.Hirotani at dinner. Group photo: no comment.I found this cute snoopy in the Snoopy store @ Hep5.aaaawww...???????!?Sekiguchi!?!?!?!?!?! Gekiteki! Before-After! I was desperately trying to teach how to make HENGAO (wierd face) to Sonal + Tomoko (since I'm the master of Hengao...haha). So as you can see above, while I was trying my ass off to come up with different Hengao through the photoshoot, Ms.Malkani decided to slack off and just give up trying to learn Hengao.Well, actually she wasn't slacking off. She failed to sustain Hengao until my stupid camera took the picture.So anyhow, time passed and it was time for Rockapella. Tight voices, blend, harmony, dances... ah i'm melting!The Surround-Sounded girl, Midori, in the middle... this lucky girl was pulled out from the audience to sit in the middle of the stage with five guys surrounding her singing a song about a shopper girl called Midori! How lucky!Ahhh my gosh, everybody was soooo good... especially the Bass!! Such a sexy voice...!Well, as I said before, I'll stop explaining how wonderful the concert was. They come every year, so I strongly advice you to come next year because I'm going next year too for sure! I'm pretty happy with how my summer break is going because I got a chance to meet up with my two best martian friends Maria and Teresa once again (plus my piercing friend Yuri, hehehe)! Teresa's in Canada, Maria's in Tokyo and I'm still stuck in Kobe so meeting up with everybody was really tough. Since they've been gone I really really missed them so it was wonderful spending time with them. Oh my Martian Comrades, we are not alone.I'm also happy because I got to shop on the Rockapella day (tomoko, mmm extacy)! I got a cool sandal from the Juicy Mens (yes, they do have men's clothing from Juicy Couture too) and a really really cool skull necklace with a black zirconias on its eyeholes for an amazingly cheap deal! The product looks like it could worth \3000, and it was only \300! Well well, thanx for reading my entry full of blabbing and...Enjoy your last 53 DAYS of your summer break!

Go shorty...
Bonjour~My birthday's coming up in 3 days!!Isn't that pretty crazy... i'm finally turning 17.I'm not a kid anymore ne, i'm, like, in the very middle of my teenage era! Holy cow, that's something.I usually don't celebrate my birthday. Well, I usually don't get to celebrate it because CA people fly off to their home country from Summer Break Day 1. I mean, last year was pathetic; I had my birthday in a fucking SAT Prep Course. At school. I mean, I don't celebrate my birthday and that's fine, but that was kinda sad.So anyhoo, today is my beeeest friend Maria Soh's birthday!! She's (probably) in Europe right now, so I don7t get to go for a Birthday Karaoke with u, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!It's also my doggie's birthday.Isn't she lovely?Her name is Chel, she just turned 15 today.Unfortunately, she's dying very soon. :(She can't do much now, she's not eating well either.Wish her a good luck everybody :)So my summer break has been pretty good, except for the fact that my mom made a whole schedule of what to accomplish (SAT, College essays...etc.) for the summer break.I've been working on my Math Internal Assessment and they are quite addictive!! Seriously, i haven't been slacking off or surfing the net for the past 2 days. All i'm doing is this assessment.It's quite challenging, but it's almost fun, i like it.But it's craaazy though... well this might be because i'm not that smart, but it took literally a whole day, from about 9am to 7pm, to solve 1 question. It was driving me insane!Well, i'm on #4 now, so 3 more to go!I hope everybody's having a wonderful summer break. Enjoy wherever you're going and adios!

Who is that.
School's finally over and officially today is the 4th day of the summer break. Unofficially, today is like the 7th day because my finals were over a week ago. I've been pretty lazy, but I've already finished my first summer reading book, The Curious Incidentof the Dog in the Night-time. It was such an interesting book and it was also very easy to read... that's probably why i finished it in 1 day... hahaha.Last week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was mucho fun (pictures posted HERE). Hanging out with different kind of people is always exciting, thrilling and sensational... or in other words, fun.Saturday and Sunday was tiring... Saturday was definitely tiring because of Friday... mou no more all-nighters for a while. Sunday was... just personally stressing. Not much to say.Monday was fun, both in the morning and at night;Lake Moore mini-party in Mikage with the owner of the lake Sarah, Akane, Yu Miz, Masaki, AlexO, Erina and Ken. It was sooooo chill and nice, thank u so much Sarah for the wonderful idea. - - - - - - - - - - I wanna take a time here to thank people for a wonderful Junior year 2004-2005... well, almost wonderful I guess. Like for every junior IB candidate, this year was absolutely hectic and dreadful. Too much work, not enough sleep, friendship, relationship, family issues... it seems like everybody had their own problems to handle, yet still many of them were genuine enough to care about others. In a world full of self-consciousness and lack of love and care, that's something that we should not take for granted.Chris Roche: Thank you, thank you and thank you. We had our ups and downs, lots of downs I guess. Things have changed and it's never gonna be the same, but let's enjoy our last high school year 2005-06.Sarah Moore: it is an honor getting to know such a wonderful person like you, and my junior year wouldn't have been this marvelous without you. I hope we can cherish our friendship next year and beyond. Oh yea, please thank your Padre + Madre (lol) for letting me come over to your house in various occasions.Akane: もぅ友達になって５年やってさ！ I think that's quite unbelievable. Muchos Gracias for supporting me many times throughout this year. Next year's our last year... i hope i don't 泣き崩れる at Grad 06.Prom Organizing Crew: this includes Riiki, Stephanie, Emilie, Erina, Marykate, Nana and Yu-chan. You guys contributed so much in organizing prom, and little things that you did helped us a lot. Thank you so much for (1) cutting out stars, (2) cutting out prom tickets, (3) cutting out letters for prom ...etc. Special thanx to Riiki since you're my Chem-partner and you've distracted me so much in class! heheMs.Ota: I'm sure you're not reading this (読んでたら怖いわ） but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Prom was definitely a failure without you. Thank you so much for sacrificing your time and effort for us.Mona Sobhani: Thank you for being my wonderful prom date although I couldn't be with you at all. I'm so sorry I was such a bad date :( I hope our lockers are adjacent next year cuz we were so far away this year!! Muchos gracias for the stupid laughs you brought.Chris B. and Kenji H.: this doesn't apply to Kenji, but we're through with Music Theory!!! Thanx for making that class better than nothing. Also, let's have fun once again with paper-recycling next year!---------------------------------- edit ----------------------------------Mitchan & Gen: nanka somehow I always see you together doing work (or "work"). Thanx for helping me out with school work cuz you guys are amazingly skilled academically... basically you're smart!Yumi: special thanx to you cuz you're just too funny!! Mou Japanese class toka we're cracking up too much. I'm sure you're not reading this, but thank you for the great laugh throughout the year.All the rest of the junior class: thanx for keep baking goods for Prom. Also thanx for being such a wonderful class.Tomoko: U don't understand how much i'm gonna miss you next year and beyond. You've been such an amazing upperclassman to me... Thank you for all the laughs, thank you for all the encouragements and I really really hope to see you some day when you come back to visit CA (I hope i'm still at school).Sonal: You're another upperclassman I'm gonna miss the most. You are just fabulous in many ways. All those drunken moments were hilarious with you, so thanx for that too :) Good luck in uni., and come visit CA!Seniors from Interlude: includes JonJon, Ellie, Susan, Rika, Amy, Hiro and Tomo. Mou everyoneee I'm gonna miss you so so mucho. From Fall Gala to Spring Concert, tanoshikattane. Thank you for a wonderful time.Underclassmen from Interlude: includes Maana, Maya and Mitsuki (sukunai!) Maana, you're such a great underclassmen; Maya, thanx for making the Berlin trip memorable; Mitsuki, I'm gonna miss your amazing talent and you're tamani omoroi comments. heheAll the seniors: We'll all miss you, good luck in wherever you're going and we hope to see you soon!!!Michael & Co.: oops, that's supposed to be Maiko & Co., which includes Ami, Maana, 2B, Anita, Maika and so on. Hilarious group, keep making me laugh next year too!Freshmen: special thanx to Serena and Chris Nev. Mou you guys are saiko (psycho?) fremanz. NExt year mo yoroshiku!!My Martian Comrades: Martian bonds are definitely stronger than ionic bonds. I missed guys so much this year, and many times I thought I would break down because you weren't with me, but I still feel the strong bonds between us.

Feelin shitty, so I do surveys.
Today's officially the first day of Summer break and i've never felt this shitty in my life due to number of reasons that is affecting me, both physically and mentally.Physical 1. I got a major crick in my neck while sleeping... when i move my neck it hurts like a fucking bitch, i can't even eat properly. 2. I shouldn't have teased Mitsuhiro's face with a mosquito bite on his right eyelid... I got one too and my right eye is fucked up. 3. Just plain tired from Friday... I like taking care of drunkards, but I'm kinda worn out...Mental 1a. Related to 3a; all-nighters are crap. I don't feel like going all-nighters for a while because it kills me and in the end i'm not having as much fun as i would/could/should. 1b. THing about all-nighters is that I always feel guilty of doing something bad. I've realized how stupid I was when I thought smoking is cool. It isn't cool at all, and afterall I guess i do have this wrong self-assurance that when i'm smoking i look cool. I mean, of course i don't smoke regularly, but when i go partyings... i somehow do, and it pisses me off cuz i know i shouldn't. 1c. I wasted my 1000yen on this stupid thing... it probably gave such a wrong impression of me to ppl who saw me do this... 1d. I've realized that this person is yappari too good for me. nn, no comment on that. 1e. aahh... yumiz... sigh. 2. Family issue... my parents are meeting up TODAY, but haven't seen each other in like 4-5 years... i'm so nervous... 3. I'm a senior... noooo... applications... sat... ahhh... shit...SOOOOOOOO I decided to take a survey (stolen from alison's xanga... once again) to make myself feel better... it's not working but whatever, i like surveys.Also, i'm distracting myself from my issues by reading the summer reading books. The Dog Book is amazingly interesting. I've been reading this, like, all day.////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////5 S0NGS THAT MAKE Y0U DANCE[ x ] Lose My Breath -- Destiny's Child[ x ] 1 Thing -- Amerie[ x ] Crazy In Love -- Beyonce[ x ] La Gasolina -- Daddy Yankee[ x ] Dragostea Din Tei -- O-Zone5 S0NGS THAT MAKE Y0U SMiLE[ x ] Smile -- Westlife[ x ] Beautiful -- Christina Aguilera[ x ] Complicated -- Avril Lavigne[ x ] Don't Call Me Baby -- Madison Avenue[ x ] Gigolo -- Nick Cannon5 S0NGS THAT MAKE Y0U CRY[ x ] More To Life -- Stacie Orrico[ x ] True -- Ryan Cabrera[ x ] Emotion -- Destiny's Child[ x ] 17 -- Shiina Ringo[ x ] Beautiful -- Christina Aguilera5 0THER S0NGS THAT Y0U JUST HAPPEN T0 LiKE[ x ] Sugar, We're Going Down -- Fall Out Boy[ x ] Send In The Clown[ x ] Baby, It's You -- JoJo[ x ] Contigo En La Distancia -- Christina Aguilera[ x ] No Rain -- Blind Melon

-- Visit to URASENKE --
Today, our Tea Ceremony class visited Urasenke Foundation in Konnichi-An, Kyoto.

Oh my gah, we were dead tired after finishing like gazillion steps while the others took pictures and made fun of us walking like a zombie.My honors choir friends... remember him on the left!? Sarah and I were walking and we saw this guy, and we were both thinking, "hmmm i've seen him before..." and I just thought that he was on TV or something. I looked at Sarah and she turned around to look at him again and we were all looking at each other and I suddenly realized that he was from Honors Choir/Band!!!!!!!!!!!! He was from the Japanese school in Sweden and he was doing the purcussion section in Honors Band!! It was such a coincidence we didn't know what to say...! It was soooooo crazy but amazing to see such a random person in like such an unexpected place...!Dinner with our new crew (unfeaturing Mona and Takuma)I call this picture, Multi-Titanicing.So after Kyoto, we all went to Sannomiya to watch the soccer game between Japan and N.Korea. We said good-bye to Mitchan, Mona and Erina. Nana joined and we went to Sallys.

Rdnoam Ertny form socohl...
Arrrr this is one of those freakin randome entry that only bored people do, so if you're busy with final exams and so on, you shouldn't read it cuz it's wasting your time! =)shiiieet... i'm feeling so crappy these days... like Yu Miz said, I think everybody's really really really OUT OF GAS. (Kris, don't even think about it. LOL)Like, since the week of IB Tests and the Prom, I seriously have a problem concentrating, motivating myself... basically I have 0 productivity in school work.Like... hommani I'm acting like the worst procrastinater on Earth right now. I did my World Lit. on the day it was due, I handed my Chem Titration Lab four days later, and I ended up not revising my TOK Essay so I have 20/40, no Bonus points at all...Maybe it's because Im just mentally tired or maybe i'm just getting ready for summer, but seriously, I GOTTA CHANGE HOW I'M WORKING... Finals are coming up, and there's no excuse as to why i shouldn't be working from now on. Hmmm. Fuck.My mom got soooooooo pissed off at me the day before yesterday... i told her that my grades are pretty much going down and she was fcuking pissed. Mou, I worked so hard (til prom week), and i dunno why my grades are so low. Anyways--- What do i gotta do now. I have to study for HL JAP exam for tomorrow. We have to write a fucking essay and shit... mou Teacher Nakahara!!!!! Teka Teacher Nakahara is so pissed off these days. I think it's because of our attitudes towards that class. Seriously, almost nobody is paying attention to her. chotto i feel bad for her so i listen, occasionally.i have to study for SATII too. I was planning to take Math Lv.1 and Lv.2 but I went to collegeboard.com and they said that you can change which subject u wanna take on the spot, so im kinda planning to take Chem instead of Math Lv.1. But the thing is, there're gonna be materials that we haven't studied, so I gotta study for that in two days... today and tomorrow. Fuck.Anyways, it's almost 10AM, i gotta go. Adios!

Parfum
Look at my collection of perfumes! This is one of the few things i'm proud of. Well, not really but kind of.I looooove perfumes or colons or whatever I have to call because of my sex. I just love the fragrance, the layer of scent notes from top to bottom, the beauty of the bottles, the one moment when you feel the saturation of the odorous fragrance surrounding you... and of course the simple joy of collecting tons of them... most of them unused.So I felt bad for those beautiful perfumes not getting any spotlight, so I decided to take a picture of them and post them on my HP. I have total of 18 or 19, but I can't introduce them all so i'm gonna tell you my favorites. Dolce & Gabbana Light BlueMY ULTIMATE NO.1. I'm gonna buy this before Emilie this summer so I can dominate this fragrance. The citrous fragrances are always my favorite... wink*mybdayscomingup*wink Gucci RushMaria gave this to me cuz she didn't like it. I absolutely loved it. I don't usually like sweet ones, but this's good... mostly because it's Gucci. I Love DiorMy No.2. I don't put it on anymore, but I really like the bottle. Totally for girls but I don't mind. Kenzo pour hommeI only have the sample bottle, but it was in this package called VOODOOLOVE, and there was a pile-material doll inside it. I'm supposed to put this colon on the doll and sneak it in somebody's bag so that the person will fall in love with me or something. Neat! I also like the citrous/orangy scent. Paul Smith MenNice cube bottle. I also have Paul Smith Women, and my mom uses it. I don't usually put Woody musk fragrances, but this's my favorite. MitsukoThis used to be my favorite when I was really young... it's reeeeeeeaaaaally bad but somehow i liked it before. Yup, that's about it. I gotta do my World Lit. so adios amigos!---Edit---Shiiit, It's 8:30PM and i have to do my World Lit, Titration Lab Report and study for Chem Test on Monday!!

Dreaming, I was dreaming...
My dreams are ominous. Most of them are gruesome, scary and sad. Usually they're associated with somebody's death. It's either everyone (group of people in my dream), my mom, or myself. These dreams are not necessary true, but sometimes it scares me because my dream tells me things that I didn't know. Weak example, but I didn't know Drew had a brother until I saw a dream of Drew's brother... dead.Haha, but not really.Anyways, lately, lots of things were on my mind and I haven't had a proper sleep for a while. Finally, I had a good night sleep yesterday and I saw a dream. I saw a dream of myself sleeping on a hammock with a person... a person from CA. We live in a cottage by the beach, and we seem to have lived in that place for a quite a long time... maybe a year or so. We seem to be together, but we're not married. We love each other, and this anonymous person holds me tight as we watch the sun disappear down the horizon of the sea. We kiss each other tenderly. I wake up. Still in my dream. My significant other was gone. Somehow I sense that my significant other is not coming back anymore. I wake up. Still in my dream. My significant other lies beside me, dead.I finally woke up from my wierd dream sweating my ass off.Daaamn... for once I thought I would have a nice lovely dream... I guess I was dreaming.

grrrr...
so tired these days... i'm also frustrated about a lot of things... mainly about me actually...my productivity level for the past week is close to zero. last weekend was like "THE WEEKEND" that i had to study my ass off, but i couldn't... or more precisely, I didn't. My mind wonder off somewhere else, but my body's still in front of Econ stuff so i end up not getting done anything. U know, zettai subconsciously, I'm thinking to myself "Oh it's just Econ, i can handle it"... that's why I can't concentrate. Anyhoo, these two weeks were so hidious and hectic it wasn't even funny. Mainly about getting things done for Prom...etc. Long way we've come, and we've still got "ISSSSSShUUUUUUUUES" (the IB way of saying issues) i gotta deal with, but will i make it? I wanna do my bestest work all the time. and to be honest, I think i have given a considerable amount of effor into this whole thing. but there's the dark side of me saying that I'm no superman so just chillax and go with the flow. i don't wanna do that. i don't wanna take granted the fact that i'm no superman. everybody isn't. we're all on the same level. it's just the matter of putting effort in it. so i try.hmm, sorry my thoughts aren't ready to speak it out yet. gotta organize my head sometime and write a loooooong journal about all this.

m-u-s-i-c
thanx to Kris' Blog, lately i've been thinking about music. Well, to tell the truth, i'm not thinking... i'm concerning...This might be one of those teenage self-esteem problems that everybody faces, or it might be something more than that. I don't know. But all i know is that i know myself more than any of you do, so don't leave a BS comment saying "no but you're good!"Grown up as Japanese, my self-esteem has been pretty low. I think it's a good thing actually because you're not snobbish and arrogant. Anyways, it was just last year when i finally had enough confidence in me to sing a song in front of crowds, and i was quite happy about it.Then i started noticing a decline in my voice quality around last September~October. The musical "Once Upon A Mattress" made me realize how i was faaaar away from what i wanted my performance would be.Since then, listening or watching myself perform hurts. All I hear is crap. My voice color, my volume, my prescence on stage... everything sucks. Who the fuck am i? Why am I so bad? Why am i singing like that?K, please don't tell me "nooooo but you're fine~~." If you tell me that, i'm gonna smack your mouth with a pair of scissors. You know what, I may sound fine to whoever thinks i'm fine, but i'm not fine with that. I definitely have kind of like a pride in me as a musician (even though I'm not), and one big rule that i have for me is that i'm not singing unless i'm almost completely confident / satisfied / assurance with my performance. If i'm not satisfied or confident or assured with my performance, i'm certainly not gonna enjoy it, and that will show in my performance so the audience won't enjoy it. In the end my performance will suck because I'm not confident, and i'll lose more self-esteem.Going off topic, but another rule that I have for me is that I don't sing songs that i don't want to sing. (This doesn't apply for Interlude performances) I just don't wanna sing a song just because it's pretty, or just because it's popular, or just because my duet partner decided to... etc. I need to sing a song which fits my emotional status basically. If i'm heartbroken, I don't wanna sing a ballad. Or if im depressed, i don't wanna sing most songs. u get the idea.Going back to my concern, if I don't feel like I'm doing a good job, if I don't feel like I'm confident in what I perform, if I feel like my performance is not worth showing, or simply if i don't feel like singing anymore, I Just Don't Want To Sing.I'm stuck, and I'm sorry but you cannot pull me out of this because i'm stuck in a complicated trap that I have to deal with. So people, stop telling me that i should perform something for whatever the occasion there are.

Reading 「ホンモノの日本語を話していますか？」
In our Bil. Japanese class, we're currently reading this book called 「ホンモノの日本語を話していますか？」, "Are you speaking real Japanese?". I usually don't like reading books, but man, this book is REALLY interesting! It talks about how the language of Japanese is the way it is right now; like the special qualities (both good and bad) that makes what our language so complicated and beautiful. It's a little biased, but it really makes me think how I use Japanese and how other non-Japanese use their own language. Special characteristics of my language like the vague expressions, polite wordings, expressions that avoids appreciation ...etc. It kinda makes me glad that I'm Japanese and that I know Japanese well enough to understand the subtle but crucial differences between Japanese and other languages. The only non-Japanese language I know is English, and being in a English-based environment, I feel so many things that the speakers (English) won't even notice. Like little things that English people say... absolutely unbelievable as a Japanese. Especially 恩に着せるような言い方 (expressions that makes the opponent appreciate)... and also special polite expressions common in Japanese but unecessary in English. Those litte things that non-Japanese people say hurt me, but that's only understood by people who understand Japanese as well as English. Of course, the speakers cannot be blamed for what they say cuz what they say is considered acceptable in their culture. Anyhoo, enough talking about books.How's everybody's golden week? Gosh, yesterday was boiling hot and today's kinda cold because of the rainy season. By the way, LOOK!I finally got my keyboard modified so that I can press the "back" button alright. I was missing the "space" key and the "back" key, so i replaced it with other buttons.Well, i hope you're all having a great Golden Week~!

* Sunset Bathing *
Ahhh it felt good*Hey, no time no diary, my friend.These two couple of days have been hectic,but the same time, chill and laid-back.Today, afterschool, after Tea Ceremony class,Sonal, Maiko and I went to the open field space across the streetacross the Rokko I. Highschool field,to enjoy the Sunset Bathing.It felt so good*Like, the grass beneath us was a little hard, but comfy,the air was brushing against my nasty hair as if it wanted to cleanse it.the sun warmed up my cold broken heart like it was nothing.the sky was just too beautiful for my tilted eyes to watch,so I just shut my eyes and felt the nature*It felt sooo good.We also had a little screaming session going on.We were screaming random things like,"FUCK SCHOOOOOL" (not so random)or"YUUUUUUHEEEEEEEEIIIIIII" (cuz we saw yuhei).We ran around like we were 5,took pictures like crazy,danced (or just plain spinned) like it was nothing.That Sunset Bathing was exactly what I needed.It's not gonna last,Nature, Love, Life, You.Why not enjoy it, just carelessly, like it's nothing?

Ayu Revival...
For the past couple of days, I've been listening to old Ayumi Hamasaki Songs. Ayumi Hamasaki, or more known as Ayu, is one of the most famous female singer in Japan, and although her fame has disappeared for the past year or so, she is still known as the biggest singer in Japan. Her songs and her fashion has influenced many Japanese people (including me), and she has won many MANY music awards straight in a row for many years. I was, if not the biggest, a HUGE fan of her... without her I wouldn't have became good friend with Akane too. I was in love with her since 1999 when she released her second album LOVEppears. The album cover was just stunning. It was even better than Christina Aguilera's Stripped (actually Xtina stole this idea of covering her breast with her hair from Ayu!!). Her photos were always charismatic, her songs were heart-moving, and she was... just perfect Japanese idol.I dunno why I started listening to her older songs NOW... but Damn, I used to think her songs were good when I was a kid, and now as a teenager facing problems, her songs REALLY hits me hard. I guess her songs were little mature for me to listen to (when I was a fan). You know what I'm saying? It's kinda like listening to "Lucy In A Sky With Diamonds" or "Puff The Magic Dragon" as a kid and thinking that it's a song about random stuff, and later when you grow up and listening to it and realizing that it's about something else. Well, it's not that silly though.I really used to think I knew what Ayu was saying when she sang her songs. I thought I knew it. But now that I listen to it now, it's like "No Takuma, you didn't have a clue what she was singing!"Learnings from life experiences finally made me understand her songs. I'm really happy about it :)

YO YO YO
What's up everyone? I'm doing pretty shitty right now cuz right now, my mom's friend and her kids are coming over and i can hardly study.I gave my HL Math textnotes and they're writing stuff ALL OVER the notes. This is just great.They pretty much ripped some of my books apart, shuffled handouts to most of my papers from all the classes...etc. Now this one girl is about to rip my Chem Lab book apart... AARRGGG!!!And this one boy... man he's sexually harrasing me right now. He's like pulling my underwear down and screaming "OSHIRI OSHIRI!!" to my ass.In this hectic time, kids are the very last things I want in my room >:(

Beautiful.
Hahah, this's my second entry in one day... this is like HIMAJIN-LEVEL TO THE MAX!! It's like jacking off twice in one day, this is how bored I am.No, I won't call myself bored because I actually had a lot to do today.I think this weekend, especially today was the most NOHOHON-CHILLAX DAY in my hectic Junior life.Two entries ago, I wrote about how Junior year is busy and stuff, and today, it all paied off.The interesting and the good thing is that I wasn't being a couch potato. Usually when you think of CHILLAX DAY, you stay in your house and surf the net or watch TV or sleep all day.I didn't do that. I opened my windows, let the sunshine in, walked around my house, found out that actually there are lot of flowers planted, and happy that Spring was coming.Because of the inside joke between my mom, my dear doggie PAN and I, I had to take my dog to HANAMI. Since my mom was out during the day, I took my dog to a walk around Sumiyoshi River.It was truly amazing. I take my comment back about how my UOZAKI-hood's cherry blossoms are crappy. They were BEAUTIFUL. It was so full, so pink and so perfectly nice that I regreted for not taking my camera with me.I felt so healthy, so relaxed, so chill... I felt beautiful. I thought about this phrase "I felt beautiful" and i even talked about it with Sonal over MSN, but I really found out that it was a perfect phrase for my beautiful day.Despite my dirty body that hasn't had a chance to take a shower in two days (lots of reasons to explain why)... despite the workload that I had (and still has... amount hasn't changed)... despite the ongoing suffering within me and around me... and despite the tears (also lots of reasons, some are comical)... I felt so beautiful.

ACT + Food Fair + Hanaming!!
WOW WOW WOW!!!The coolest Saturday ever!!!!!ACT...Food Fair...HANAMI !!!!!!!!Hokay, so...ACT was alright... it was definitely easier than SAT but the time was so short that i just had to guess the last 5~10 problems... but it's definitely better than SAT where you have to know all these vocabs that you'll never hear in your life. I'm gonna concentrate on ACT and try to get better at it.Food Fair!!! Hectic time, hectic time... that was my first time seeing what soda floats are, and they looked pretty disgusting... they sold alot so it was good. We couldn't sell the Some Enchanted Evening tickets well... someone's gotta come up with an idea to sell those 90+ tickets. And the tattoo booth!! THAT BOOTH WAS FUN!!! I got these little kids so excited about cute paper tattoos... they're so adorable!! Since I was familiar with those tattoos, i did them really well! I brought my own paper tattoos so i put the kanji YUME (夢), dream, on my cheek! HANAMIIIIIIIIIII!!! OH MY GAH, Hanami was FUN!!! Actually, that was my very first time going to Hanami... i'm so not Japanese!!! Yea, i never did hanami in my life, so it was already cool watching these YOZAKURA Cherry Blossoms everywhere. It was truly beautiful; sakuras around my UOZAKI-HOOD is so shoboi, so just watching trees full of pink was amazing.What's more amazing was the... FUFUFU... the PARRRRRRTAYYY! It was crazzzy... I talked to sooo many people that I never talked to, so that was cool. I wasn't even done with my own drinks that I bought when i was getting tipsy!! Somehow i was speaking in British Accent, and i was soooooo freaked out cuz i couldn't fix it!Practically EVERYONE from CA highschool was there... it was like a CA paradise! And I tell you... Everyone was drunk. Crazy people everywhere... including me i guess. I didn't go too far so that was cool. I stayed tipsy, and didn't get too pissed. Unfortunately I had to go home (couldn't do all-nighter) so I said goodbye to everybody and went home with Kenji.SONAL!!! You broke my friggin cellphone!! When you spilled your drink all over my jeans, my phone got fucked up!! Phone itself is working, but the buttons don't work so i can't call, i can't pick up a call, i can't do anything!!!! But you know, it's ok cuz i wanted to change my phone so bad! HEHEHEWell Well Well, it's all good right! Now I'm gonna work my ass off to finish whatever I have over the weekend. C u guys on monday! I love you all~

心を亡くす ― 忙。
The Japanese kanji meaning "busy" is 忙.It consists of two kanjis - heart and loss (usually associated with death).I've been constantly busy for the longest time.Throughout this year, thanx to the IB,school has been THE CENTER of my life.It always had been, but this year,it's like totally center. u know what i mean?Other things shared the center of my life before.Hanging out, shopping, traveling...now, i hang out to talk about college,i shop for textbooks and university books,i even travel to go visit colleges!This year, I kept losing my mind(for people who has been reading this diary probably knows).I lost it so many times that,many times, I thought I was going insane.like, seriously mentally sick.What's my point? I dunno.I really don't know.I guess I just wanted to let this MOYAMOYA in my lungs out.Tomorrow's the Senior Talent Show!Day after tomorrow's the ACT and the Food Fair!Damn ACT, i couldn't study at all. i did one practice test, that's all.gosh, i really hate being unprepared. makes me feel so insecure.Akane, thanx for listening to my problems today.It ended up just talking about me... i'm really sorry about that!Oh well, doesn't even matter.I should go to sleep now.K, bye~

Lately...
lately, i'm thinking about so many big stuff.bigger than life, actually, literally.i'm thinking about death.bigger than life, right?anyways, i dunno why, but i'm seeing dreams of people dying.it's either my mom, my dogs, some of my friends or me.i had a period of time last year when all i saw in my was death.but it's maybe coming back again.freaky...my mom tells me that she doesn't need funeral or tombstone, or anything.i agree with her. i don't need any.i don't need some random bousan who doesn't even know meto perform that buddhism show for money.no offence to buddhists, but many bousan do that for money.i don't think they're any good.it's too much of a show for me, i think.where will i go when i die?why am i me? why am i here as Takuma Tanaka, male, Japanese, sixteen...?there must be a meaning, i say to myself.some will say that there's no meaning.they might be wrong, who knows.when will i die?what will i be after death?so many questions that nobody will ever answer.all these news about suicides in japan...it's making me sad... they think death will solve problemsit never does.it leaves problems for the rest of us,and they're not gonna be relieved from their pain and agony.people, please don't commit suicide.it hurts, not only yourself, but others you love.please, don't say such things like,"i wanna commit suicide..."or"i wanna die."it hurts, not only others you love, but yourself too.death... life... so vague yet so clear.

+ Learning +
Sorry this is gonna be a semi-serious journal to myself.If I bore you, I apologize.Skip the little font section if you want.+ -- + -- + -- +I'm learning so many things lately.It's amazing how little things force me to use my little brain to learn little things that are actually BIG.One thing I learned was "looking ahead".It's a long story, but to make it short,I'll just say that because i wasn't looking ahead,I wasted so much time doing nothing.Nothing serious. It's just what I felt.Another thing... I've been trying so hard,So hard to punch this in my brain.But I just don't quite seem to understand it.It's about "hoping". It's about "delusion".I delude myself by hoping something will happen.Usually love stuff. Always one-way crush.Stop hoping, I say to myself,but I can't, because I'm hallucinated.Being true to myself, and to others.This seems to be the problem lately.Why am I acting so wierd?This automatic mask that I wear, it's killing me inside.I feel like i'm watching a short films of my life,but i'm not the actor, somebody else is.And I'm screaming from the audience,"That's not what I would do!! WTF is this movie!?"You see what I mean?Probably not. haha+ -- + -- + -- +I hung out with the non-CA Gen today.Soooo nice to be with him. He's funny, super-nice, and AMAZING at singing!Oh My Gah, he is damn good at singing! His voice was marvelous.I had tons of fun today, I hope you did too, Gen =)I hope you didn't feel bad about going to Karaoke... hehe just kidding ;)School's starting in... 2 days!!Darn... I have to finish my musical investigation,I have to study for ACT too! Lots of stuff to do huh...Quarter 4... I need to raise my grade like hell.My gosh, I'm so worried about my future.Feels like everything is rolling downhill lately.I dunno which SAT II I can take...I dunno which universities I should apply...I dunno whether I should even take SAT I...I dunno... these little craps build up. This sucks.Mariah Carey was just on MUSIC STATION right now!Maan... lots of spotlight on her when she was talking to TAMORI-san.I reaaaaally like her, and I love her songs,but I disrespect how she's so made up head to toe.I'm not talking about how pop is made up.I'm talking about her looks.She has this pose that she always strikes during interviews,She does her hair and fiddles with it all the time,There's always a spotlight on her...She was lip-syncing too! That's not cool.Maa it's ok, I still like her.People are going clubbing tonight right?Enjoy the night~! Hope you all have fun.Me? I'll just stay at home, dreaming about clubbing.Ciao, and have a wonderful break =)P.S. - Did u know that today was the April Fool's Day?

Crazy night out!!
OH MY GOD Becky, look at her butt. It is sooo big,Janakute,OH MY GAH, yesterday was sooooooo fun!!Juniors+Seniors went out to Sam & Dave @ Osaka-ish place (four of us don't know), and it was daaaamn crazy.Em, Masaki, Yu and I headed to Osaka at around 11:30, met up with Sonal, Chie and Ellie at Osaka, and then we first went to Isn't It. Unfortunately, we got there and found that the other peeps weren't there. We called bunch of people and Kris said that they were at Sam & Dave. So we got in the cab, and we all wondered, "which Sam & Dave"? Kris kept saying, "It's near the American Embassy~."DOKOYANEN, to omoinagara, we told the cab driver the American Embassy, and we found out that we didn't even need to ride the cab... the Embassy was right in front of us. But now we still didn't know where Sam & Dave was, so Em asked this security guy and surprisingly he knew, so he told us where it is and FINALLY we were there. It was jampacked and friggin hot!! I finally met up with Kris, Kenji and the surprise guest, GEN!! Well, 2 Gens actually. Seeing CA-Gen was a heart-attacking news!! And the other Gen that I met was a friend of the seniors, and mecha nice guy yatta!! We were talking random shit... That was sooo fun!Anyways, I ended up drinking about... 6 or 7 shots, not too many, but I got sick for the very first time. Thanx to Kenji and Gen for the support to/from FamilyMart. Special thanx to Kenji when I had to go outside to you-know-what. I still remember the 合言葉：へびは100円じゃあ買えないよ、何とか何とか飲料。 K, i guess i kinda forgot the 合言葉, but it's alright, at least i remember the first part.Man, everybody was gone, I was gone and now my memory is gone. I dunno how I got home!! I really dunno. I remember getting on the JR and I know that Robin was sitting in front of me. Then all I remember is this lady screaming at me for dropping my bag in Rokko Liner. That's literally ALL I remember on the way home! Oh Shit.Maa in any ways, I safely got back home somehow, and my tipsiness is gone now. I'm finally sober, finally. AH! Just now, part of my memory came back. I remember eating my chupa-chups and people, especially Yu, kept stealing it from my mouth. And whenever he tried to give it back to me, he misses my mouth and sticks the wet chupa-chups around my chin and cheeks! Shikamo he ended up eating the rest of it in the end. * - * - * - * - *Oh yea this is for the Soccer Game crew: I got my jeans exchanged!! I have a brand-new one despite the cig smell that clinged to the old one. Yay! I feel like I did some good shopping!K, from now on, i'm gonna be in SUPER-STUDY MODE. This spring break, I'm gonna work like hell, and I'm gonna raise my GPA like hell. I'm gonna study for SAT and ACT like hell, and also the Final Exam for Music and Econ. I'm gonna work hard on organizing the Prom and Some Enchanted Evening like hell too. To hell with parties; I'm gonna be a nerd.

hahaha lay～♪
So... I forgot to write some hilarious stuff on the last diary, so I'm gonna write it.K, so at the Honors Choir, there were these group of Koreans looking at our CA group right? It was freaking Rika and I out cuz they were seriously staring at us and laughing at(?) us. After the concert, they asked us to take pictures with us so we did, and we were like chotto relieved that they weren't stalking or anything.However, on the last day, at the airport, we saw them again and they were, again, checking us out and laughing. Then couple of them comes up to me and asks ME to be in their picture. I was like, "oh just ME or with everyone?", hoping they would say "everyone".I was wrong, they wanted ME. So I was like "haha, this's kinda fun, I'll play with them for a while." So i went up to them, put my arms around their shoulders and they were excited as hell. Anyways, they took a photo of me and i was like "thanxxx, byyeeeee." Then finally, those guys said with a smile on his face, "You look like a TV Star.I was about to laugh my ass off, but i was like "oh that's so sweet, you want my autograph?" and they were just giggling and ran away.Those gay Koreans were so funny. Anyways, tomorrow's the last day of school before Spring Break! Yay!!I'm a little stressed with school stuff since I was gone, and Some Enchanted Evening a.k.a Tsunami Relief Dinner and The Prom is giving me a headache, but I think I can manage to survive it through.I'm sleepy to the max, so i'm gonna take a nap. Ciao*

I'm back!!
International Honors Choir @ BerlinGuys!! I'm back!! Did you miss me? Oh you don't have to answer that question cuz I already know the answer... I know you guys missed me very much.The AMIS International Honors Choir was AWESOME!!! It was definitely one of those lifetime experiences that I will never encounter. I can honestly say that I had a great time there, although many crappy things happened to all of us. Here, I will share some of our Berlin days with you all because I'm kind.Day 1 -- flight from Osaka to Berlin7:30 in front of the Sheraton Hotel. That was harsh, but many people, such as MK, were there to say good-bye. I think this was the day when Ms.Hurd told me that I look like Michael Jackson... WTF right!? Well, I didn't realize that she was saying that to ME (I thought she said it to ChrisB), so that didn't ruin my day.This was actually one of the most entertaining times I had during the trip, right my girrrrlz!? (haha) I intended to stay awake the whole 14-hour flight, and it was a success. I actually brought lots of my homeworks from Music Theory, Enlgish, Econ and Math. I finished most of my homeworks that I brought, and I was talkin with my girlz... that was like FUN.We get to Amsterdam for transfer, and we finally get to Berlin. The mini-Interlude concert in the customs was fun! And all these Euro-gals and Euro-twinks!!! My gah, Euro peeps are all soooo hot and tall!!Anyways, we get to the Hotel Berlin and I don't quite remember what we did from there... I think I went straight to bed.I already made a new friend by this time: Danny. Everyone had told me how sweet he is, but man, he's a real nice guy!Day 2 -- first rehearsalMan... the beginning of the hectic days. We were introduced to the JFK School, conductors, pianists, AMIS directors and so on. Then we went to this church to rehearse our music.HOLY MOLY. Everyone was sooooooooooo good!! Like, I'm NOT joking and I am NOT exaggrating... I felt so inferior being there. Why did I get picked as a Honor Choir!? tte. Plus, we were seated so that each sections were apart from each other, so I was like, "oh shit i'm screwed."I found these Japanese Japanesey-looking guys, so I thought I'd be ok (i just have a image of japanese people not good at opera-ish singing), but I was wrong. They were pretty good too, so I was kinda down. Just for your information, we had sandwiches for lunch.That day, we went to this shopping center called IMAX / Sony Center. It was a stupid misunderstanding of each other, but I thought I was completely ditched, so I was looking for my friends all the time. Yes, I didn't get to shop. Doesn't that suck!? That shopping center had my dearest wish shop, H&M!! I was just so stressed and panicked that I couldn't find my friends, no shopping was done that day for me. It was all good anywayz cuz we got to see the Berlin Wall!K, I'm gonna write the other days later. I'm just so tired I gotta go sleep. )))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((I'm back. I'm gonna write the rest.Day 3 -- 2nd day of rehearsalSo it was almost the same as the day before. We sang and sang and sang and sang. The only difference was that the sandwiches were soggier. This girl who was sitting on the right side looked soooooo like Gwen (not Gwen Stefani... the French Gwen who used to be in CA). Also this guy to the left side was pretty hot, but he was getting bald so that was funny. I later finds out that he was an complete asshole.One thing was really frustrating me, and that was everybody going flat. The first day I was ok cuz I really didn't know my part. But the second day, I was starting to get my part, so for me, it was a pain in the ass (and ear) to sing on pitch when everybody's a little off. My face was always screwed up because I was trying to hear everybody.That day, we went to this second biggest shopping center in Europe... actually it wasn't that big but it was cool. They had Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel and Gucci shops, and one random shop had D&G!! I wanted to buy this double-waisted jeans so bad, but I didn't have enough money. It really sucked not owning a credit card. Oh yea, Gucci was selling the mini-ipod case for 140Euro (\21000)... i thought that was expensive, but when I came back to Japan to check the price in Japan, it was about \28000... damn. We at last ate our team dinner in this fancy restraunt with GREAT food... it was reaaaaaally good!! This was the first day i drank actual water without any gas. OH MAN, those sparkling water was nasty!! First day it was like "oh well", but day after day the sparkling water was killing me!That was it for the day, me and mah girls were talking about "stuff" again... it was all halarious.Day 4 -- the concert dayWe basically sang, sang, sang and sang. The only two differences was that the sandwiches were even MORE soggier and it tasted like shit. Another difference was that it was our conert day. Our concert hall was sooooooo cool...!! It was built by Hitler, and it was were all these historically important speeches were made!! Isn't that soooooooo COOL!?!?!?! We got to sing in there...!!Anyways, we practiced our entrances, exit, standing position, standing pose and all that jazz. This was the day when I was assigned to sing this one note after this movement (notice I'm not saying "solo performance" here). Maa I gotta say that I was proud of myself for that.And the real performance went GREAT. It was one of the most awesome experiments I've ever had. Goosepumps every second (except for the time we were all going flat... I got goosepumps for different reason). It was successful, and the Dubula encore was hilarious. We had this little movement for this african song called Dubula, and it was kind of embarassing, but it's all good.After the concert, some people from other schools went to a bar, but we kinda stayed at the hotel and talked about stuff again. Cool and restful night it was.Day 5 -- Berlin to Japan...Most hectic and stressful day of the trip. We woke up a little late, went to the airport, said goodbye to Sarah (went to Austria) and finally had a little shopping time! Good things happened (rih,kris?) and bad things happened. My god, I went to this perfume shop and they had my favorite perfume, LIGHT BLUE. I was just looking at them and it said 26EURO for 200ml! Usually 50ml costs about 50EUROS so I was like "OMG I GOTTA BUY THIS." But u know, i was kinda worried so i asked the shop lady if this was a perfume, then she says "parfume" so i assumed that it's ok, then when I opened the box in the plane, it was a fuckin shower gel. EHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? tte omotta. I was freakin pissed off. Plus, I bought stupid little things that costs so much, and i ended up spending colse to 100EURO in the airport. That was just plain stupid.One more thing that pissed everyone off. There was a technical problem on the plane, so we were about 2 hours delayed. It was really crappy cuz they finally found a new plane but it was half-sized, so only half of the passenger could go on board. Luckily, we got in but we barely made it. If Ellie didn't ask about the flight manager people about them giving out the new seating arrangements, we wouldn't have been back til 11:30 today.On the plane, I fell asleep, i found myself grinding my teeth really badly, and for the rest of the plane, I was working on my homework seriously. We finally got back to CA at around 2:00ish, dead tired. We had to actually attend school on that day, so I went to Econ, Mr.Livingston was being an ass as usual, but hey, it's not my fault that I missed things. Maa anyways, we made it back safely with lots of good memories. That's what counts, right?
