Travel Journal

Thu, 17 Feb 2005 22:59:17 GMT

If I haven't told you already just to remind you guys that I won't be posting in my journal these comming months. If you want to find out what's going on in my life without making outrageous long distance phone calls check out my travel journal! I'll try to update as often as possible and post pictures, sometimes I'll be out of Tokyo on short trips to Hokkaido and other places. I'll still update what happened on those days but it may take a little longer to put up.

So if you want to check it out I have it set up already, it's still on livejournal but it's under letsjapan2005, I'm leaving on the 25 at like 6 something in the morning. Maybe we can get together this monday or something.

What I wouldn't give for some fucking cake.

Plateau??

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 21:10:50 GMT

My weight loss has plateau'd at like 117!! I bought some pills that are supposed to help the weightloss process along though so hopefully that will help. I also notice that my butt is disapearing!? It's all good though, by the time I get to Japan I will be slim enough to look good in kimono which I have been told I will be wearing.

Anyways I can finally fit into my skinny jeans and my plane tickets should be arriving this week! I totally can not wait to go and see Junichi!

Now all I need to do is start polishing up my Japanese which I keep putting off.. Well, from tonight on I'm putting in two hours of studying because if not I will not be ready for the classes I will be taking there.

Another thing is that Jun told his mom I can cook!! Zomg!! I have trouble just boiling eggs, just ask Mosy who I tried boiling eggs for just a couple of nights ago! Anyways Jun says she wants to cook with me and will be teaching me how to cook, at least i have the excuse that I don't know how to cook Japanese food. ^_-

Still going!

Today I lost another pound (currently 120) so hope fully this rate will keep up and I will lose at least a pound a day. If that happens I will definately reach my goal before I leave in fact I may even surpass it!

Ha! Chris yesterday tried giving my a couple of M&M's, and mother weak as she is actually ate them!! Yesterday she s=cheated too!! I'm about to eat breakfast and then go out for a walk with felina and do so jump rope. I figure that Miso soup even though it has 3grams of carbs (because of the seaweed I'm assuming)is great for breakfast because of the low calories as well. What I do is take out the seaweed, I figure I can eat plenty of that when I get to Japan.

Is it carb free??

Slim and sekushi

Mon, 31 Jan 2005 22:13:09 GMT

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, Mosy was all like why aren't you updating your journal??

I've been doing this Atkins diet (natiest diet ever btw) and I'm already losing weight. Today I'm at 121 which is pretty nice but my goal is 100 lbs!! In addition to Atkins I have been jumping rope, which I'm actually getting pretty good at thank you very much. There is also this crazy Chinese weight loss tea called ballerina tea. There is like all these warnings on the box and stuff.

I've also been pretty good at using my willpower versus sweets. For those of you who don't know me well I am a sweets holic and I don't mean the J-pop band. I love chocolate, cakes, ice cream, you name it. My family has been binging on sweets all week!! Home made ice cream sandwiches, chocolate, cakes, pastelitos, and all kinds of stuff!! But whatever because I am becoming slimmer!!

Oh yeah I got a hair cut too.

So I find out today I might be going to Okinawa and Hokkaido this time. Very cool because Okinawa has Miami type weather and I'll be able to wear a nice swimsuit with my sexy slim self, lol. I would also like to pet a Hokkaido cow, they look so gentle and cute. I'm very excited to say the least.

Uh oh!

Mon, 24 Jan 2005 13:17:45 GMT

Lol, sorry I haven't posted these past few days. Anyways went out to Sushi Ko for a belated birthday dinner and had a great time with some friends. I'm driving up to the parking lot and saw everyone outside (Abby, Mosy, Gene, and Maynel) and hear someone say "Oh no!" I was like wtf?? Then after I park I notice Juan behind my car and was like double Oh NOES!1

To make a long story short that guy is such an insecure jerk! Anyways Maynel wanted to vent afterwards and after everyone left we (Mosy, Maynel, I) met up in a a parking lot near the house. But who should be in the parking lot but Abby herself!! She walks up to the car and you should have seen Mosy's face!! Lol, Mosy that was freakin awesome!! Meanwhile Maynel is talking to Gene on her cell phone about the Juan situation and hangs up on him, lol!

We came up with some story and met up at another placed vented over the evening and hopefully Maynel is going to confront Abby over the Juan thing. Will this change anything, who knows. All I know is that I miss the old Abby who was a trip and a half.

In the news today is is the coldest day of the year! I feel bad for the people up north who are trapped in their homes but as for FL bring it on! It's been so warm a few days before we need winter too!

Oh yeah I never wrote about the Inaugeration! It was so lovely! The people who complain about their children dying in the war on television are retarded drama whores! Uh duh? You son SIGNED UP of his own free will for the military not the tea party club!1

Oh yeah it is the anniversary of the liberation of the German death camps, it is good people remember this. I feel bad for the other people that died that no one gives a shit about though!! What about all the other ethnic minorities that were killed!??!! ZOMG!1

Not only that but everyone is like those bad Japanese they attacked Pearl Harbor! Bad Japanese! Uh yeah, but they did much freaking worse than that yo!! They killed hundreds of thousands of Chinese and other Asians and enslaved tried to wipe out several languages and cultures!! But no one cares about them only the Jews!!?? WTF??

Today's message of the day:
Let's think about the other people that died in WWII that no one cares about!!
oh yeah, and furries have to be stopped.

Hello Hello!

Wed, 19 Jan 2005 01:20:34 GMT

Today I had shipment and Mikey was there! Also I found out what happened regarding the confusion on Monday. Apparently in their shift cutting madness they cut everyone!! There was no one there to receive the truck, dumbasses!

Yesterday mom came back from Disney and brought back tons of cool souvinirs in cluding Stitch hot chocolate that turns red, or pink if you use milk like me. I also went to Cary's house to watch Full Metal Alchemist which was really fun! Oh yeah! What is up with this awesome weather?? Last week was so muggy and gross and all of a sudden its crisp and cool, very nice! I was walking to my car thinking this is the best!!

Lately I'm totally addicted to Onsen e Ikkou: Let's go Onsen, which is turning out to be a really great show! It must have been a NHK drama I'm guessing because it's longer than your average 10 or 11 episodes but well worth it! It makes me want to go to an onsen soon too. ^_^

I really want to find a day to go out with everyone before I leave to Japan and was thinking that maybe we could finally go to Strike or something fun like that. So for those of you that read this let me know what you think, I might be leaving around the 20th of february after all.

To Mosy congrats on the new car!!! You must be super ecstatic! I'm going to try to go to Eugene's thing, let's see if it actually happens.. Did you know tommorow is Utada Hikaru's birthday?

I've been wanting to do a furry rant for a while, I might do it later tonight..

Where in the world is Eugene??

Sun, 16 Jan 2005 19:48:44 GMT

So like Eugen had this whole drinking party with sushi Kill Bill night planned for over a month right? Then he disapears of to Ft. Lauderdale? Wtf?? (^。^?) エッ

Yeasterday we were supposed to do that then we decided you know what it's Maynels birthday anyways so we'll go out with her to dinner or something right? Wrong she disapeared off the face of the map. In the mean time I had called George to invite him (Cary and Luis had previous engagements) and Mosy was getting ready.

Then George tells me he cant go! Mosy too!! What?? I'm thinking nooooo I have to go out or I'll go nuts! So I tell George look I'm going to Mosy's house then yours, find your cell phone!!

I get to Mosy's house (I locked myself out of the house and didn't feel like looking for my keys in my purse so I didn't call him before comming over sorry Mo-z!) and he said that if I had called him that he was going to tell me he was sick and couldn't go, which he was btw. Poor Mosy, you have such a pushy friend. I was like not you too!!!!

I told him fuck it! We have to do something I'm going to George's now and I'll pick you up on the way back! So I get to George's house and he says he can't go. (((p(>o<)q)))いやぁぁぁ!!!

This is after I almost have a heartattack because I didn't turn when I was supposed to and was stuck on Chrome which is scary as hell!! Luckily or unluckily Cary's party was cancelled and her and Luis came home early?? Saving the day and George was convinced to go!! Yay!! We hung at at an IHOP and had fun talking. I hope George wasn't too at me for being pushy but it's my personality after all so whatever!

Not what had been planned like a month ago but it was still fun so it was good!(^。-)-☆

Today is Maynels actual birthday so let's see what happens, I think she may have plans, but if not let's have fun! I have to get her a present still so I might do that now. Bye ((ヾ( ^-^)ゞ Byeー♪

What you thought I wasn't going to post any pictures today?? Here is the picture I was telling you guys about yesterday.

Zomg!1 So bored!

Thu, 13 Jan 2005 23:07:26 GMT

So like, Mosy let's go out somewhere!! I'm so bored!! All I've been doing is going to work and watching my little brother play Resident Evil 4. Freakin Salazar! What's up with that??? Anyways he beat the game and it was pretty sweet, so sweet I might brave Animate to buy the little figures. Lol, look it's a big fat loser gaijin!!

For real though Mosy you have to play this game!! The Spanish they use is pretty funny! At one point they are like "I'm going to make you picadillo!!." WTF??!

I've also become a 4chan whore, thanks Mosy! (and Tino??) For real thought we have to make those shirts! I want to go to Maynels thing on Saturday but odds are I'm working.

I almost have the money for my ticket!! Now if only we didn't get paid every other week.. Damn you Children's Place!!

Anyways laters.

Lovely Pretty

Sun, 09 Jan 2005 22:08:48 GMT

Had a blast with Maynel and Mo-z last night! Laughing and talking and just hanging out, also trying Cary's cake batter ice cream recipe yum! (Thanks Cary!!!)

It was really nice, all that was missing was Abby and it would have been just like old times. I wish things could be like they used to but I'm not going to dwell on it. We've talked about this situation in every way imaginable and now it's time to just wait and see what happens.

Earlier this week I also had a great time visiting George and Cary's family and it was very fun! Their baby brother is so adorable!!! Love ya CT!

Today I got to spend time with my own nieces and nephew! Man Deka they are nuts when they get together!! Talk about SPD! Not Cassandra of course, she is always an angel but the other two are crazy!!

They canceled my shift today but I guess a day off is nice every so often, I guess..

Thank you Mosy for the Photoshop program!! I already made an inspiring Valentines message with it:

I'm going to try to update this journal more often, Mosy don't give yours up it would brighten my day to see all your crazy pics!

Laters

oh noes!!

Thu, 16 Dec 2004 22:49:01 GMT

I never update my live journal anymore! Ok, you know what this entry is for all you cast members out there. What is up with all the drama at the Disney store?? Some people have said it's a holiday thing but I don't remember it being this crazy. People are nutz!!

In other news Jun had another mouth surgery, I hope he is ok! Finals are over too!! So is Hannukah ;_;

Turkey Day!

Fri, 26 Nov 2004 03:10:09 GMT

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Especially to George, Ingrid, Alex, Desiree and the rest of the Disney crew because I couldn't find your numbers, sorry for not calling!

Yum the food was so good today!! Also I'll post a pic of Jun post surgery soon!!

Black friday tomorow..so I'm going to rest some more, lol.

Oh yeah I took an online quiz, though the result is weird...Hisoka?? Oh well, I don't see any resemblance..

My #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Which Yami no Matsuei Character are You Most like?, is Hisoka Kurosaki

The Incredibles!

Wed, 17 Nov 2004 07:05:01 GMT

Saw it a few days ago and it totally rocked the socks! Did anyone else notice the creepy resemblance between Violet and Sadako from the ring though??

Hmmm, maybe it's just me..

Nuts! They didn't use my call in for tomorow morning, I'm so sad. :_:

Viva Bush!

Wed, 03 Nov 2004 18:15:08 GMT

We won! Viva Bush!!

The perfect begining to this week along with seeing President Bush talk last sunday which was amazing. ^_-

I have a test today but after that it's party!!!

(^O^)ウホホ

Why I have "a grudge"..

Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:25:03 GMT

Recap on this past week: Last weekend was awesome!!! Great party at Gene's place..(or should I say Johnny Matos??) and crazy adventures in Kerry land with Deka. (See annonymous_zee's journal for detail's..) Some studying a midterm and Abby's going away party was yesterday mixed with some amateur ghost hunting. All in all a pretty good week.

Then the movie that has continued terrorizing me just by thinking about it was finallly released to US audiences. Man, the website was scarier than this movie!! You know it wasn't that the actor's did a bad job, because you know what they were great. (well, you know, by horror movie standards at least..) The director did a decent seeing as he's the original director..but what screws up the movie is the sound. Any ounce of a possiblity that there could have been any suspence was ruined by loud noise to make you jump and say "ok! be scared now!!!" but it had the totally opposite affect.

What made the original so creepy besides the story was catching something out of the corner of your eye (did I see that??) or seeing something and not knowing whether or not the character was screwed by the music totally being obvious and giving everything away (right after that ok! be scared now sound effect.). Another unfortunate side affect is that I don't think Juon scares me anymore..(hopefully this can be remedied..)

If you've seen the original, don't waste your money, if you haven't wait until Ju-on come out on DVD in November. It's worth the wait. I feel especially bad for telling all my co-workers to see it. I tried calling the Disney store today to tell Wanda not to go but she wasn't there..sigh.

So Deka is comming over now to watch the sequel since he never saw (not as scary as the original but at least it was scary!!)

This was how I felt after watching The Grudge..

Here are somes scenes from the original movies and why I wasn't able to sleep nights:

Update!

Wed, 13 Oct 2004 06:33:51 GMT

Omg! A journal update, I know it's been a while...
Lately a cute kitten visitor is staying for a while until she can eat on her own. (She's too cute!)

Umm, gotta find a job! Yes so I will start looking this week. ^_^
Yes, I became temporarily addicted to PGSM live action, sad but true...

I want to see my friends from work!! Also I need to return some stuff to George and Carrie!!! (I haven't forgotten you guys!)
Lastly I turned 24!! I'm so old!

Almost forgot, Utada was on CNN last night! It was nice seeing her in an interview in the US, did everyone out there pick up the CD?? If you haven't already what are you waiting for???

Yeah yeah yeah, about politics. You won't believe this but I'm a volunteer. Weird I know!

Yo!

Fri, 17 Sep 2004 22:49:43 GMT

Ok, I haven't posted in a while because I've had like classes and stuff. So, I'm posting today! Hmmm, wonder what will happen this weekend...? After all this drama of the past week I honestly don't know but I'm almost hoping for a confrontation. However we all know that's not gonna happen!!! (Cause it's lame drama..)

Anyways..Resident Evil: Apocalypse was pretty cool! I'm suprised that i liked it so much since it was closer to the game but I think it made the movie really fun! It wasn't too scary though...but the fun factor made up for it!

Lately we've been having bar-b-que every night! Chicken, beef, sausage, hamburgers, hotdogs..when will it end!!! We need cocktails(or some kind of alchohol..)!!

Heh, well I'm talking to Jun now so I'll get back to the bar-b-que rant later..

Francis!!

Wed, 01 Sep 2004 01:49:36 GMT

Ok so today was pretty chill, I went to school and what not. Then mother asked me to go buy some butter at Milam's because we had run out of it.

OMFG!!! I get to the store and all the water is gone!! I didn't even go to get water but felt a sudden panic and the need to go find some before it was all gone!

The reason for this is of course the fast approaching Hurricane Francis, will it even hit us? At that moment when I was standing in Milam's I realized it didn't matter. All that mattered was that I needed to find water.

So I drive to Publix which was way more full for a Tuesday night than it should ever be. At last, I found that which I was searching for! Mind you I was under strict orders not to buy anything not on the list, but we NEEDED water!! So I bought 2 gallon containers and and 24 pack of bottled water. I realized we would need even more but felt if I bought at least some now i could convince her of buying more later..

So yeah, that was my neurotic day.

Ja ne!

Fri, 27 Aug 2004 19:42:45 GMT

That's it! I'm finally giving my two weeks notice at Disney! No more I say.

Kelly today says that Pat was looking at my productive records and that "I had missed many Sundays..". The horror, my evaluation is comming up and they might take 5 cents off my crappy 20 cent raise..omg!!

First off all the company has been sold, second it's not like we get into Disney free anymore, third the quality of the Disney Store has gone way down and with the changes the were just enacted the guest might as well be shopping at Walmart.

Anyways I need a better paying job anyways! (^_^)

Ne, Manato..

Tue, 24 Aug 2004 23:21:57 GMT

I love Strawberry on the Shortcake!! I actually want to buy the DVD set for it. Last night I sat up teary eyed watching the last episodes. I can't say how I feel about it so as not to give the ending away to Mosy and Gearge, and hopefully Carrie will check it too!!

Also I to make my room look like Yui's! Red is my new lucky color!! (Along with pink of course!) Mosy brought me the music for Strawberry on the Shortcake and I've been listening to it so much! Thank you Mosy!

Also I need to give George a big thank you for driving me to work tommorow, sometimes our store manager can be unreasonable! Tommorow as a thank you I will introduce you and Carrie to Strawberry on the shortcake!

Also, I was very happy because I could talk with Junichi yesterday! I hope he can come for christmas, if not maybe in the spring? I'm doing a diet to be pretty! Are strawberries included??

S.O.S.

Sun, 22 Aug 2004 21:27:40 GMT

I finally have DSL and hven't posted for various reasons including the fact that my computer went mental.. For the pas few days the MoZ and I have been up till like three in the morning installing and removing programs as well as talking to Besllsouth and Dell representatives...

Then a bright light of hope came shinning through..that light was called Strawberry on the Shortcake!! The best drama ever!!

How did I not find out about this sooner??

Anyways tonight needless to say there will be a private screening at my house with a cute serving of what else but..strawberry shortcake yum!!

As an interesting sidenote one of the places two of the characters go to on a date is Comme Ca where Junichi and I alos went on a date, and had some strawberry on the shortcake! Yum!

nanka ikanji..majide nice body..

Fri, 13 Aug 2004 22:22:05 GMT

Today I had work!! Yeah shipment! Whatever.. I actually got to use the car, I can drive it to work (so I can pay for it! heh heh), also I can drive it to school, thank god!!!! (^_^)

So I went to work and then watched the news trying to will some rain or strong winds or something.. The stupid hurricane has completely missed us !! What the hell !? I mean it's super hot and it looks like it won't even rain! bah!

So tonight we have the olympic ceremonies, will you watch it Jun?? Did you watch it? When did they actually happen?

kawaii gone horribly awry...

WTF!?!

Thu, 12 Aug 2004 18:42:03 GMT

This morning I was woken up by a surly Henry!!! He asked me when I damaged the car!! (Mother didn't tell him yesterday..) I think he found out because of the piece of it I hid on the side of the house...

But that is not why I am pissed. I knew yesterday I would not be able to drive the car any longer but I didn't imagine I would have to brave the heat and ruffians on the bus musicless!!

The culprit above claims to have misplaced my headphones..Not only this but claims perhaps she lent them too her father?? WTF!? They are see through pink?! On top of that I lent them to her in the trust that she would be the only one using it! Headphones are like underwear!! You don't want everyone and their mother (or father??..) wearing it!!

Then my little friend Seiri has come to visit.. I am not a happy camper, except.. There does seem to be some excitment on the horizon thanks to my two friends Bonnie and Charlie. I don't know why but when there is a hurricane on the way, my heart lifts, maybe because I don't live in a trailer, lol.

Also, today is the Minnie's birthday. Since it is mothers dog, I'm sure the cake will be spectacular..

Update! I'm in a much better mood now. Chris is on a chocolate errand since Para and I can not drive! Specifically, Fran with dark chocolate on chocolate! Yes! Hurricane chocolate one packet for now and the rest to be stored! Also Ramune! What flavor will it be? Peach? Lychee? Strawberry?

What will happen when Henry gets home? Plus flood warnings?? Stay tuned!

What to do??

Wed, 11 Aug 2004 21:45:17 GMT

A car hit me and even though it wasn't my fault, I ended up getting the blame. At least there was not ticket... I will not be able to drive the car any longer for sure..but I thank Mosy for teaching me to use the bus that day. It will be very useful now.

On the bright side if there is one, I registered for two classes..but can I pay for them??
