my goals

yeah i know its a bit early for new year resolutions but here it comes

1) the number one thing everyone puts on their list. ( its also mine now) _TO lOSE WEIGHT- i am seriously concerned of my health and appearance now. I gained about 4 kilograms from nov 22-til now. it is not normal to gain one kilogram a day ( one kilo = around 2 pounds)plus i have been unconsciously binging on food.ever since i stop dancing i have been gaining weight. I like to blame the fact i cannot perform at the big christmas dance competition and have been somewhat depressed at the though and have been unconsciously eating to make up for it. In the begining it was because I was in Okinawa and had the idea this is my only chance to be in Okinawa. So I ate every possible Okinawa food and dessert of course and more. Note it was a 5 day trip but I gained 2 kilograms during the five days. Thats like 4 pounds in 5 days. I have been trying to lose it by eating healthier and cuting back on sweets. It helped a bit but then it when I crave for desserts really bad I treat myself to one and end up eating two ice cream bars in one sitting.

so I am going to start saving all the money I use on my binging madness and save it for fashion. I am going to try to get a job and use that money to save it for classes at the fashion school and also to pursue fashion/art related stuff. I have been watching a lot of project runway episodes,going to the fashion school twice to see runway shows, hanging around with people interested in fashion,drawing more tooo. I find that with extra time I have been trying to use the time to pursue something I brushed under the rug a long time ago and repeatedly told myself it was an impossible dream. This may be something good for me since I am attacking my dream ( the whole thing... studying abroad in japan and fashion) This may be a bad thing to my parents since It means me wanting to go to fashion school after I graduate. I am going to try to save as much money as I can to find a way to get into fashion school.

2) save money for fashion
3) dance - something else I love but also repeatedly told myself I cannot possibly get into a dance team or even dance. I finally got a chance to be in a team and now I can somewhat dance. YAY

4) improve my japanese to the point I can master the interview for fashion school
5) try to make something with the sewing machine
6) finish knitting my scarf

Jessicaと一緒に浅草に行った

秋休み

沖縄で２キロを増えた！今から、やせるつもり。昨日私とLindseyとJosephとKatieとAllieは能を見に行った！全部は２時間半の発表けど、もっと長そう。本当にいい経験けど、一回だけを見るつもり。日本語の先生は能の切符をくれた。本当の値段は７，０００円。みんなはきれいドレスとスッツを着た。後で私たちは渋谷で居酒屋に晩ご飯を食べた。皆はビールを飲みながら食べた。ほとんどビールを飲んでしまた。私はソーセージを食べたとき、友達のドレス誤ってソーセージのジュースをかける。最近私は不器用なだ。晩御飯を食べた後で、アイスを食べたいので、Baskin robbins 31を食べたい。でも、店が閉まった。どこでも、店が閉まった。居酒屋だけが開いてる。その結果、私たちはうちに帰った。渋谷駅の前にFree Hugsの人を見た時、自分の考えはHugは楽しそうと思う。

I gained a total of about 4 pounds during my trip in okinawa. Note that it was a five day trip. So I am planning to lose weight. So yesterday, I went with Joseph, Lindsey, Katie, and aliie to watch Noh. Our teacher gave us tickets to the theater valued at 7000 yen which is about 70 bucks. it was a 2 hour and a half play but it seemed longer than it really was. It was a great experience but i dont think i will ever go to anothe noh production again. We al dressed up for the occasion and Joseph came in a suit and the girls wore nice dresses. After the noh, we went to an izakaya and had dinner with a beer. We wanted dessert but not at the izakaya so we decided to go to Baskin Robbins 31 for ice cream but they were closed. So we decided to go home instead. right infront of the shibuya station, we saw ppl with free hugs sign and i decided it will be fun to get a hug from them. So i did. I have pictures to prove it too.

下北沢

今日下北沢でイヨに待ち合わせ。下北沢は武蔵境から吉祥寺で井の頭線に乗って、渋谷に行く方。私は各停の電車に乗ったから、チョー遅い。下北沢でイヨを待ったけど、イヨは違う口に待った。２０分後で、私はイヨと会った。私たちは色々な古着屋と面白い店へ行った。下北沢はもっとにぎやかだし、古着屋さんは見つける安いし、下北沢は高円寺より好きだ。今日の目標は帽子と手袋を買うつもり。色々な店へ行ったけど、まだ好きな帽子と手袋を見つけた。帽子と手袋が必要と思う。いつも自転車に乗る時、手と頭が寒くになる。時々寒さでかじかんだ手と頭。帽子と手袋を買わなかったけど、色々なおいしい食べ物を食べた。例えば、Mister Donutsとアイスとラーメンを食べちゃた。

今日あたしの名前の店を見た

東京国立新美術館

今日はイヨとじいちゃん一緒に東京国立新美術館にフィルメールの絵を見に行く。フィルメールの一番有名な絵は｢牛乳を注ぐ女｣を見た。とても楽しかったけど、ちょっと疲れた。絵を見る前にわたしたちはVogueカフェにサンドイッチを食べた。１０００円だよ。ちょっと高いけど、Vogueカフェから高くないと思う。私はびんぽうだ。今日１０００円だけを持って行く。美術館の入場料は１２００円。日本の美術館とアメリカの美術館に比べて、日本より高い。１：３０から５：３０まで、美術館にいる。美術館のギフトショップはとても面白かった。面白いものがいっぱいある。美術館を見た後で、Miaを待ち会う。東京Midtowmで窓ショーピングをした。Plazaの中で、一番好きな店はVia Bus Stop.私にとしてPlazaで全部店の売り物は高すぎる。いつもこんな感じ所でいる時、お金持ちになりたい。いつも好きな店に入たいけど、入るにくい。おなかがすいたとき、Plazaの地下Food Courtがある。そんな高くない。１０００円ぐらい。晩御飯を食べた後で、私たちはデサートを食べた。私はMont Blanc Violetteを食べた。チョーおいしかった。７８０円。



I went to the Tokyo National Art center located in Roppongi with two of my dormmates, iyo and Jiichan(aka Marie). We went there to see the Verneer exhibition. Verneer is famous for his Milkmaid painting. We also ate at the Vogue cafe　inside the museum. It was quite pricey for a sandwich but cheap if u compare it to other cafes in museum . On top of that its Vogue cafe. So we saw a rack of clothes in the entrance are and thought maybe we can see some clothes from Vogue but to our disappointement. It was just the coats of the customers at the cafe. After our little lunch we looked at the exhibition for about 3 hours. The museum was quite crowded even for a weekday. Plus other students dont have today off because it is our finals week slask autumn break. There were a lot of old couples there and some really young kids(probably forced to go by their artsy mom and dad. the whole lining up to see each piece kind of made me tired and not as into the art. I enjoy looking at the art at my own pace and not having ppl shoving or pushing me. Well after finishing we shopped at the gift shop. I love museum gift shops. Then we met up with Mia, another dormmate and ate and window shopped in Tokyo midtown. The stores are soo high class that i feel weird to go in. But we did since it wasnt just me going into the shop. We went into chloe, marni,and a couple of other ones. I loved this one store called via bus stop. So we got hungry and ate at their fod court( nothing like america's food court) it almost looked like a small buffet kind of place. we had our 1000 yen dinner and our treat ( dessert) . we were about to order two cakes one from the food court and another one somewhere else. We never got to that though. haha . oh wells more for next time.

困っている

今、クリスマスとほかの恋人日を考えている。いつも私は一人で寂しいを祝う。いろいろな恋人日があるので、どうしょうと思う。２０年にまだボイフレードがいる。どして男は私に好きじゃない。私はこわいいいと思うかなぁ。本当にデートとか恋人日の経験がほしい。例えば、彼と一緒に映画館に映画を見ることがない。たぶん、私は彼が好き時、わたしもっとはずかしくになる。今、私はがんばってマフーラを作るけど、本当に自分のために作るじゃなくて、彼を上げたい。。自分に使うもほしいけど、彼を上げることがもっとほしい。友達も彼が好きだから、私はどうしようと思う。みんなはいい友達ので、彼のこと友達を分割したくない。彼がほしい。しかも、分からないどうやって始めて話す。私の場合、彼と話すが安い。でも、彼はいつも一人で一所懸命踊る。
