土*日Tokyo


June 21-22
Weather: Rainy T_T =Super Frizzy Curly Hair T_T


土曜日
朝:Jiin様 and I went to Tokyo on the 土日切符!We left from 古川 (Furukawa) on the 10:06 Shinkansen and got there in time for LUNCH in TOKYO!!! If you know anything about mi area or Japan in general you can get sick of the food really quickly. Going to “the big city” was a real treat because you probably can find every variety of food and it will actually taste good. In the countryside, there are lots of Japanese food restaurants, but eventually you get really tired of the same old rice, fish, and miso. Even when you come for a week to visit Japan within a couple of days you could be longing for that yummy hamburger and greasy fries. In Tokyo, you can find that yummy hamburger and greasy fries if you look hard enough. Well lucky for Jiin様 and I we already knew where it was and went there for lunch. @ the restaurant we decided that Davey is a deprived little boy...deprived deprived of all the yummy food found in America he has yet to try, by then again Jiin様 and I are deprived of tea-time T_T!!! hee hee!!! Poor Davey T_T!!!


昼:We then headed to 浅草 because I was on a mission to get mi mommy something. I was able to accomplish the mission and also get mi yummy snack! ~yums~ Then we headed to 秋葉原 to go to mi ヨドバシカメラ to use mi points and BOOKOFF to look for Jiin様’s manga. We went to BOOKOFF first and Jiin様 wasn’t able to find her manga, but I did get a CD! I will have to burn some copies for a few people, so wait patiently. @ ヨドバシカメラ I ended up using some points on a game for mi wii. We also played the game “Guitar Hero III,” it was really funny because it was placed on EXPERT and there was no way I was. I am use to playing the guitar with only 3 buttons at the arcade, but this one had 5 buttons. Ahhhh, it was really funny though. After we were done embrassing ourselves (we even changed the level to intermediate), a dude took over, put the level to high, and just served it to us!!! We got SERVED T_T!!! @ 4:00 we had to meet some of Jiin様’s friends in 新橋. We ended up meeting them, decided that we were going to check in our hotel, and then meet them in 台場 for dinner and sticky pictures. We checked into our hotel and rested a little bit. While we were @ the hotel, we both got called by some of our friends. @ First, Jiin様 got called by her student talking about the concert she is going to attend on Friday once she hung up, I got a call from mi Asian and mi favorite cousin (which is mi Asian’s real cousin)!!! It was really funny!


夜:We left the hotel and headed to 台場 to meet up with the friends. We met up with them, did a little shopping, looked @ cars in the Toyota showcase, and had dinner at an Asian ethnic restaurant. We did sticky pictures twice and I believe everyone had a good time. After taking our last sticky pictures, we all decided to go our separate ways, so Jiin様 and I went back to our hotel and wasted electricity and water!!! Haaaa haaaa ~evil laugh~ Davey called me for a little bit it was really nice. I was kind of busy we trying to get to 7-11 in the rain, so I hardly was able to talk to him. T_T I felt bad, but on the good note...We learned Chinese on a TV show and We slept with the Air conditioning on!!! AMAZING!!!!! ^_^



日曜日
朝:We woke up at 9 and got ready to check out of the hotel by 10. We headed towards Tokyo to put our stuff in the lockers then go do other stuff we wanted to do before we had to head back to....the countryside...T_T!!! Our first mission was the Square Enix store and the second was the Johnny’s store. How can you describe a good day? Answer: Games and boys! Jiin様 had a wonderful super fantastic spectacular time (to describe it lightly) in the Square Enix store. I enjoyed watching the game adverts and Jiin様 explaining what everything is to me!!! Then after figuring out what Jiin様 wanted to buy, we had to decide what we wanted for lunch!!! We went to our Mexican Restaurant in Shinjuku because it was close by. We both ate tacos and burritos, but I had a half-sized mango margarita, while Jiin様 had a coke! I think that was the first time, I had a “drink” during lunchtime! It was okay. It needed more Mango!!!


昼:
We headed towards Harujuku to find the Johnny’s store. This store is the official Johnny’s entertainment store. Johnny’s entertainment is a music company that has a lot of cute boy bands under its label. For example, SMAP, Arashi, Tokio, Kinki Kids, News, etc. If you don’t understand what I am talking about it is okay...usually nobody does, but the store consisted of pictures of these cute boys!!! Afterwards, I got a banana chocolate banana crepe for dessert. It was very yummy. I think whenever I have a house of mi own I will have a crepe maker. ~yums~ homemade crepes. We could have crepe parties!!! Anyways, afterwards we headed towards Tokyo station to get our boba tea...Yeah, Taro Bubble Tea!! and get our stuff to wait in line for the Shinkansen, since we didn’t have reserved seats. We got the train @ 4:46 back to Furukawa.
夜:@ Furukawa, we went for dinner at Steakie One! It was really nice. I was sooo happy to eat mi Ebi (Shrimp) Fry, potato salad, and grapefruit jelly. I was dropped off @ mi apartment around 8:30. Then I talked to Davey! *hugs*

Overall, It was a nice little weekend getaway from the countryside. I can’t wait until the another adventure to the “big city”’ that is going to be in 2 weeks with the whole family (Annie, Alex, Jiin様, Matty, and ^_^ ) Until then...じゃあ!*hugs for everyone*

Happy Mommy’s Birthday Month


First of all, in my family this month is not considered or to be called “JUNE.” There is NO JUNE! It is referred to as “Mommy’s Birthday Month,” but ............

Happy Birthday to the other special people who were born in the month of Mommy’s Birthday....
*Hypertwin and Matty (June 8th)
*Davey’s Mum (June 20th)
*Rae Annie (June 30th)
and of course...Happy Birthday to Mi Mongolian Mommy (June 9th)!!!!
(I am sorry I can’t celebrate any of your birthdays (except Matty’s), but know I am thinking about you all!)

Matty’s Birthday Festivities:
*Annie wasn’t there! If anyone of her teachers ask just say that she was home whooping!!! ^_^
百日ぜき=10日間病休!!!ラッキー!T_T!!! ~whoop~ ~whoop~


Saturday Night Gathering (June 7th):
“Annie,” Harrison, Matty, and I went to Sushi Zen to eat some yummy sushi for a birthday celebration dinner before going out to drink @ Cannabis (a nice name for a Japanese-style bar). Alex had other dinner plans and met up with us later in the evening. When we were done with eating dinner, we went back to Annie’s and waited for Alex to meet up with us for drinks. By the time, she got there we decided to play a game of mahjong and if you know anything about mahjong you can’t leave in a middle of a game, so we decided that we were going to stay in. We then went to 7-11 and got us some drinks and snacks for our little party @ home. Matty wasn’t really in the mood to drink, so only Alex and I did! I was very classy...I meant cRassy, by drinking out of a bowl and not a cup. I was a real idiot that I forgot to buy ICE!! T_T!!! Anyways, I talked to Davey before he went out with his friends, while everyone else played Scrabble. Davey was able to wish Matty a Happy Birthday and say HI to everyone else. Plus, I am very bad @ Scrabble therefore I talked to Davey! and I like talking to Davey! ^_^ After Scrabble, we all decided to go to sleep, but before I went to bed I called Hypertwin to wish her a Happy Birthday. I calculated the time zone date wrong, but Annie and I were able to say Happy Birthday and hear about her future plans.



Sunday Beach Adventure (June 8th):
Woke up and got everyone donuts @ Mr. Donuts! mmmmmm...Mr. Donuts...~yummy~!!! Afterwards, we went to the Chinese restaurant and ate yummy food! Then headed towards to the beach, but stopped by Yamoto to get some drinks and snacks. Before heading towards the beach we went to the arcade and took sticky pictures! Then headed towards the beach for some fun in the sun! I went the long way to the beach because I forgot-ish the way, but actually IT was all good. Thanks to the COKE signs! We had lots of fun in the sun all of us! We stayed until the sun went down-ish, which was before 6. Ate dinner at the yakiniku place in Yamoto then went back to Ishinomaki. I got mi stuff and went back home! ^_^ Overall, it was really nice day. I think Matty had a good time. It was kind of funny thinking that a year ago exactly, we all went to the beach and ate @ a yakiniku place. Time flies when you are having fun, kana? It was really nice to be in the sun! I can’t wait until it gets a little bit warmer and the sun is shinning. I really don’t like when it is really hot and I am melting, but I am going home before that!!! Hee hee...maybe? It all depends on the weather!!! ~whoop~ ~whoop~


Mommy’s Birthday (June 9th)
I went to the elementary school in which the secretary of the school let me try on her kimono because I told her on Friday that I have never tried on a kimono before just a yukata (a summer kimono). It was really fun all the teachers were surprised and kept saying KAWAII, KAWAII = cute!!! After teaching classes, I forgot that I was suppose to get a bell from Matty during the weekend, so I had to run to Ishinomaki to retrieve it. I took Jiin様 with me and we ate dinner with “Annie” @ a restaurant I have never been to. It was really fun!!! We took “Annie” to the grocery store, so she could survive. When we left, “Annie” forgot her toilet paper. T_T It was funny!!! ^_^ “Annie” got stocked up on her soymilk and her toilet paper, so it was really nice. Plus, I got the bell for school from Matty!!! ^_^ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!


Other Events in Mommy’s Birthday Month:

Corn Soup (June 3rd):
I made corn soup. I used mi sakura (cherry blossom)-shaped cutters and cut mi carrots in to sakura!!


赤い糸 with 焼きチーズ春木くん (June 4th):
Jiin様 and I went to Red Thread (restaurant in Kogota) to get mi Birthday meal that was moved until June! It was decided that Haruki was going to buy us a meal. It was really fun. It is always so much fun to pick on Haruki. He is now called 焼きチーズ春木くん!!! Score: ALT = 4 Haruki = -1 I am going to miss the people @ Red Thread T_T!!! There are some things that I am going to miss in Japan, but I am happy to go home and then go see mi Bubba!!!




Cheers ^_^ Until Next Blog Entry!!
