when you are constantly craving particular bento boxes (salmon+ rice + sweet potato + various pickled things mmm) and onigiri (rice balls) every day. AND you are now considering making your very own for lunch. AND AND you are considering buying one of those cute, tiny bento boxes with bright colors and a picture of a dancing panda on it to put your home made bento lunch in AND your very own cutesy-matchy chopsticks AND a matchy furoshiki (cloth to wrap the box in) AND, AND, AND... HM. But don't despair. I still don't walk around everywhere squeeling, "KAWAII!!!!!!" (cute) at everything I see. So therefore, I clearly have not fallen over to the dark side of super trendy obnoxious Japanese girls who put tease their hair into beehives and wear shorts in the snow to be fashionable... yet...
You know I am starting to wonder what my reverse culture shock will be like when I do finally return home...

And maybe I am a little late seeing this, but here is a completely unrelated, hilarious, inappropriate video for you to watch:

So....yeah...
Looks like I've got another little trip coming up in a month! My coworker was gifted generously by one of our students with this magical ticket that gives 4 people accommodation and a nice meal (I think, the ticket was in Japanese after all) to this little middle of no where mountain area in Oita at this nice ryokan (traditional Japanese hotel) and hot spring. This area is supposed to be pretty beautiful as my coworkers got very excited when told about it. Oita is located East of Fukuoka and is acclaimed for it's beautiful scenery and many many many hot springs. So yay for that. We were going to go over my bday weekend but one of our coworker's can't go then so we decided to go the following weekend--this all makes me somewhat relieved. I have been feeling a little down and ancy about my upcoming bday. I hate hate hate planning things for myself--for the past 4 years I have had a joint bday shin dig with one of my best best friend's ever who's bday is the day before mine-- so I was prepared to just sit this one out and let it *hopefully quickly* pass me by (24 is kinda a ho hum age anyway, right??). Yet, it still made me feel a little sad to spend my bday alone here in Jland. Therefore, even though it won't technically be over my bday anymore, it is nice to be doing something somewhat "birthday related" with good people. =)
Which brings me to my other point...the ticket is for 4 people and everyone at work is now invited which means it isn't free anymore, which means paying for part of it as well as the transport, etc etc. That totally isn't a big deal at all. But, I am starting to realize that perhaps I have been a little too ambitious with this idea of taking a big trip when I finish up here. Because with these new plans, my parents coming soon, other places I wanna go here......saving is just not really an option any time soon! Maybe it is better to just do little things like this every month and enjoy myself more by indulging in local opportunities, and not be broke all the time (it's really starting to get old). Or....maybe I should just tighten my budget belt and be skint in order to save for the greater good of going somewhere totally different in the end? Advice? Suggestions? Right now I am leaning towards the 1st choice, but going somewhere else that is foreign, exotic, and just not here is also tempting as I basically want to go EVERYWHERE now. Please tell me what you think.
Bottom line: Would I be forgoing opportunities or creating them by not planning an extra trip later?

Happy Valentine's Day!
OK, I'll actually be honest, but I really don't care much for the day (and that is not just because I am single haha). It's 95% commercial and sort of tacky. Japan makes it even WORSE because they over-commercialize EVERYTHING (yeah and you didn't think it was possible to top the US on such things) and...on Vday only GUYS get presents. The girls have to buy everything! True, on March 14 "White Day" comes around and the guys reciprocate but yeah I don't know about this...
My Vday was actually yesterday (thank you future time zone), and it wasn't too shabby for a commericialized random holiday I don't actually really care to celebrate haha. Even though I am a girl some of my students gave me chocolates. One of them is this really cute old lady and I was touched because she gave me some really expensive ones. It is NOT a custom here to hug or touch people so I asked her if it was OK to hug her (since that's what I am used to doing when touched by a gift) and she didn't really seem to understand what I meant so I made an action to hug her and she cringed away from me like I was going to hit her....then ran away! Haha! Oh well, I tried. =) My friend had a little get together so about 8 of us had some drinks and food and then went out downtown. *At one of the bars we were at there was a "kissing" contest and it was just....absolutely disgusting. Disgusting kissing and realllllly disgusting looking drunk people. But of course I took pictures and videos. In case you were wondering, "Team Ass Crack" wound up winning. We dubbed them that because the girl was this huge ghastly looking thing who was humping her boyfriend(?) all over the stage with her ass crack hanging out the entire time. Classy!
ANYWAY if I were to use the good 5% of Vday, I would use it to express my love to people I care about! So, if you are my family or close friends reading this just know I love and think about you all very much and am very grateful for the constant support you always give me over here!
*How bitchy did that part of the paragraph sound??? Haha! I promise I'm not usually so much of a mean girl =)

True Story
This week for one level's lesson we are covering reported speech using asked and told. I had a private lesson tonight, and to start it off I told him to stand up, put his hands on his face, etc etc and then after asked him to report back to me what I told him.
Me: What did I say?
Him: You told me to put my hands on my junk.
I am not really sure how he got to that from "face" but alright...
I am 98% sure it was an honest, yet conveniently awkward and hilarious, mistake.

Sapporo (Hokkaido)
Yeah, I'm way too tired to tell you about it. I'll let my pictures speak for themselves.
However 4 points to make:
1. I want to go back!
2. I got the best snowboarding package EVER! Round trip transportation to a great mountain/all day lift ticket/all day rental for 5,400 yen (around 60 dollars). You can't beat that! I was surprised since everything else in Japan seems to cost more than the States.
3. I am clearly not cut out to live in the snow. It was fun for a while, but after almost slipping and killing myself 9897987979 times just walking somewhere got old reeeeeallly fast (although I never actually did fall thank goodness). It was still pretty though =).
4. After eating the seafood/sushi there I may be ruined for life, as it was really THAT good. Usually when Japanese people go on and on about regional "famous" food I roll my eyes. Well they weren't bluffing about Hokkaido's seafood (as well as everything else that lovely region has to offer)!!
Email me if you want more details. 'Cuz I do have more believe it or not...

So I teach business now
Before I run away to Hokkaido for the Sapporo Snow Festival and some snowboarding (!!!), I feel compelled to procrastinate my packing and share this with you:
I was once again pimped out to a company to teach a private English lesson to employees. I was pretty excited about this, as it is from 10-12 every Saturday which means two things: 1. I lost my really low level lesson I taught at 11 (although I did lose a great class as well @12), and 2. Since I will be working starting at 10 instead of 11...I get to go home an hour earlier than everyone else!! Score!
I went to the company for the first time this morning. It's really close to my work so it's convenient. Someone from our head office met me at the train station and walked me over for introductions. I got a little scared when we arrived. The last company I did this for was SUPER casual. When we arrived, we had to call the receptionist on this random black phone sitting all by itself in this giant entry in order for them to open the door, and then we were led to this sterile white room with black leather couches with nothing else at all, to wait for my students. So I sat there starting to wonder if this would be so great as it seemed really formal and strict and super "Japanese business work ethic" mode. To my surprise, in walked three 30 something year old men. Two were in casual clothes. The head office lady left (is it bad I don't even know her name?), and left me with them. I thought this week's lesson would be kind of stupid, as our head office planned it out so we would spend one hour doing "introductions" and then the next hour doing the first unit. Sounds fine right? Um..the first unit was how to do introductions (in a business situation...but STILL). LUCKILY these guys are really chill and hilarious. Their English is so-so but I loved how they would randomly crack up at each other trying to speak. Usually when Japanese people don't know how to do something they just shut up and act like statues. So the two hours actually went by quite quickly.
However, I quickly realized something. Let's see...I am teaching 3 businessmen who work for a large real estate loan company, and I am teaching them how to conduct business practices in English. Like I know anything about this! I mean I know how to make a killer introduction, and how to shake hands appropriately...but when they started asking specific "business talk" questions I found the BS just starting to flyyyy out of my mouth. That is one huge habit I have. I am asked a question I don't know the answer to and before I can even think of some good ways to postpone the question, a BS answer (could be right, could be wrong) comes out. I seem to always leave the students satisfied...but sometimes I find myself after class furrowing my brows unsure of what I just did to their lives with my answer. Ohhh the power I actually have as an English teacher! This company's future of conducting all their business in English kind of rests on 23 (almost 24!)-inexperienced-with business and life-me. Oh well, at least I have taught them how to make a killer first impresion, right??
OK time to pack! I booked this trip soo long ago it still hasn't hit me I am flying out tomorrow...

Attempt #2
= FAIL.
I tried just natto mixed in with rice this morning, trying to have a well balanced Japanese diet. It took me about 3 minutes to chew down each spoonful. After about 4 spoonfuls I started gagging. Earlier, I thought the disgusting texture was because of the raw egg--guess not! The texture is hard to describe. It's like eating boogers mixed with beans and spider webs and then puking it into a bowl, and then eating it again. I am pretty sure I was accurate with my description. The funny thing is, the taste isn't bad at all...it's just that damn texture! Funny how much of an influence texture has on us! Therefore, I decided I clearly wasn't fit to eat this foul stuff, so in the rubbish it went!
My thoughts: What a waste of rice!
*I FINALLY found brown rice. Expensive but worth the find! You have noooo idea how hard it is to find whole grains here!
My student today pish poshed my use of raw egg previously and told me I must mix the natto with MAYONNAISE and eat it alone... no rice! I asked her, "JUST natto and mayonnaise?!" And she goes, "And soy sauce." Like, duhhhhh soy sauce makes everything delicious! DUH. I threw that suggestion away before her words finished leaving her mouth. My short relationship with natto is OVER. At least I gave it a fair go!
HOWEVER I had my friend Jenny over for dinner tonight (probably the influence to my British vocabulary usage in this blog, ha) and cooked a delicious dinner of Carolina shrimp and gravy over rice. It was delicious, Southern, and 100% non-Asian. I proved real food CAN be cooked in Japan! We ate it all. It took me all morning to de-vein the shrimp (for some reason I thought it would only take me like 15 minutes, ha!), but it was worth it! I was just so excited to find a good non-Asian recipe I could find all the ingredients for. It gets old seeing lots of delicious sounding recipes and reading the ingedient list going, nevermind, no chance in hell I will find half these ingredients here! And, she brought me my Christmas gift from her that I left at her house ages ago. She brought me fresh gingerbread from this famous British shop and this mint cake thing made from pure mint and sugar when she went home to England for the holidays. Miraculously the gingerbread was still good after all this time haha. I had been dreaming about it since she presented me with the gift a few weeks ago. =)
And that is my story about food today!

The grass is always greener on the other side
I am at the point of loathing the rain. The rain used to be a treat for me, as it never rains in Southern California. Well...that has all changed thanks to Japan! I am pretty sure since I have been here (April 4) there have been maybe *32 days of sunshine here, THAT is how much it rains! True, the country is gorgeous and green and lush due to all of this water, however it sure can be hard to appreciate when it is raining too hard to go anywhere!
I can understand the rumor that Seattle has a high suicide rate because it really does get depressing (and also just a pain to get anything done!). Give me dry dead hills and fires anytime!...well maybe not. I think there just needs to be more of a balance. =)

I miss my Ninnykins

This is my desktop background. Ninja looks so warm and cozy and happy, it makes me smile every time I turn on my computer. =)
I wish there was a way he could be mailed to Japan...he doesn't seem to respond to my attempted skype sessions very well =/

I'm about 15 years late I guess
I had some free time on my hands today so I decided to watch the newest Simpsons episode. The plot involved Lisa making this creepy friend who she invented an imaginary world with. I totally didn't get the reference so I looked it up online.
It was a parody of Heavenly Creatures-in case you are missing this old pop culture reference (like me up until today)- that is an apparently iconic cult (lesbian?) movie made by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) in 1994. I saw that one of my most favorite actresses, Kate Winslet, starred in it (maybe her first role?), and it sounded creepy. So, with my interest in creepy/scary films (I know, morbid right?) I decided to watch it. I will say it was incredibly disturbing. It is a true story about two over imaginative teenage girls in New Zealand who became friends and spent most of their time in la la land with an imaginary world they created thinking they were more special than anyone else, but the friendship was over the top intense, and it started becoming homosexual, and their parents became really concerned (especially since it was the 50s and homosexuality was a big no-no), and decided to send Kate Winslet's character to South Africa instead. The other girl's mother was a really sweet, humble housewife who was really concerned about the welfare of her daughter (a total outcast freak), and she was pro the separation as well. Anyway to make a long story short, the girls decide that the only way to be together is to kill her. So, they take her out for tea and act really sweet, the mother is rather chipper believing she is finally bonding with her daughter, they take a walk on a deserted path and start beating her with a brick. Watching the scene, knowing it was really realistic to the real story, of a girl bludgeoning her innocent, unsuspecting mother to death (according to Wikepedia it took 45 blows), and her friend willingly helping her, made me really sick to my stomach. Just knowing she was alive for most of it and aware her own daughter was killing her was really heartbreaking. The movie makes it kind of clear that the girls had romantisized the concept of the murder, not realizing how horrible it truly would be....but it was still incredibly disturbing. (The reason this movie is apparently so accurate to the true story is because the other girl kept diaries detailing every thought she had, and the movie actually quotes her exact words--so creepy!).
BUT the fact that has made me feel SO DISTURBED is after finishing the movie I was curious what happened to the girls, as the credits said they were released from prison in the 60s, and found out Kate Winslet's character actually went on to become a (still current!) best selling MURDER mystery novelist, going by Anne Perry. I don't know...it is just the fact this girl committed a cold-blooded murder, and is now making a living and being internationally praised for writing murder mysteries and not seeming to have much remorse (I watched an interview with her on youtube and she seems rather nonchalant about the whole thing) is just so unrepentant and creepy. (Oh yeah, and she is now Mormon?!)
I guess I am just really intrigued with the criminal mind! So that is my random, morbid two cents to get your Superbowl Sunday going! Haha! You're welcome! I don't know maybe you are all going, "Duh everyone knows this story!!"?? I guess this just happened a little before my time awareness wise (3rd grade). If not, I know I just spoiled the whole story for anyone who hasn't seen this, but actually knowing the story doesn't really affect the feeling the movie gives you. It is a brilliantly directed and acted film...and now I am just sitting here feeling uneasy. Haha. At least I didn't have creepy friendships like that growing up. =)
