フリーター、家を買う

I had to make a separate post for this! Like Grace, I still watch dramas sometimes. And this is a really great one. (not to mention i like the singer that sang the opening)

Freeter, buying a home

It's about a freeter (someone that has a temp job) , he quit his old formal job cuz he's not satisfied and don't know what he wants etc. They also mix in family elements, marriage/cheating, bullying even in adulthood (more like....fitting in?). Anyways i like the topics it touches on and it's very much life-like..... messy, all over the place but we have to get thru it. And it re-affirmed for me how sad a life it'd be to be a japanese housewife O_o

Apparently it has really high ratings too 17% (for comparison usually ~12% is good for a japanese drama these days)

And the most important part is that it finally features engineers!!! I mean how many shows, American or otherwise have engineers as one of the main characters/ professions? Of course they sorta dumb it down and call it 'designing bridges' and show lots of blueprint pics, but they started talking about computing/physics and 'FEM' (finite element method) LOL

Ahhhh I stray from my path so easily!! Too easily!! rawr

Anyways I saw this pic and thought the girl was very pretty


Then i realized it was Naga-something Masami O_O wow.....but she looks good with short hair..... Or that i just majorly prefer bangs look with non bangs look? Even on guys??

Speaking of which.....i really want to cut my hair again.....i know i wanted to grow it longer but it's always the middle where it looks terrible and i don't know if I can even look good with long hair since it's so thin D:

Also I've been craving pasta..... T_T

my roommate that's chinese-ish was showing me some pics on facebook. A girl's before and after makeup (japanese-gyaru style). She was soooo amazed. But yeah the girl's eyes became like 5 x bigger.

I was just like......really?? That was what I was going for but I guess it never really worked out with my face T_T

So yeah..... even tho i'm super jealous of those japanese girls faces that walk on the streets of Tokyo..... I know that beneath all that makeup is an average face like mine (for most of them at least) xD

Ahhh well....I'm totally over that phase anyways.....I still prefer to look Asian :)

yesterday i got this plaid shirt (finally!!) that i really really love. So much so that i wore it today! xDDD I even paired it with a cardigan and my yellow pants and some chucks. I was thinking....HA beat that mr. hipster boy! But when I arrived in class..... i realized I could never be as hipster as him. His whole presence just screams hipster!! His movements.... his randomly thrown on clothes! Everything!! I dun get it. I could wear the exact same thing as him and still not be as hipster. (tho he is skinnier....and i believe skinniness is a requirement of hipster-hood) So yeah Hipster-classmate +1, Z -39248024 :(

Tho yesterday when i got the shirt....i was also playing with those glasses that hipsters/ other artsy ppl wear. You know the ones. I've been thinking about getting one xP But then when I showed the girl she was like "those glasses remind me of Kame". orzzz I mean....yeah he wears it.... but so does the rest of the fashion conscious world T_T. And then everytime she passed by a turtle she was freaking out.... it's funny.... Actually i should tell Grace something..... but yeah.... this must've been what i was like before orzzz It's kind of funny on the other side looking in now. I was even finding turtles for her.

AND I resisted the temptation to screw my homework and other responsibilities and go to that concert. So Z +1, Japan -239848932

It's a good day :)

I met some asian graduate students today.....was soooo surprised when they told me they were from Canada too. I was like.....omg..... really? wouldn't have guessed! I felt so different yet similar to them. Must be cuz i got transplanted into the US earlier than them xP

Also at the same conference....i was looking thru the posters and one guy magically appeared and started talking to me. Cuz I was looking at his poster. And I was kinda scared he was a prof or something cuz he looked kinda old. OK.....not OLD old.... but not a young just out of college look. He turned out to be a post-doc. And we chatted for a bit. He seemed interesting....(and interested) I totally wanted to ask for his number or something T_T..... but i dunno is it unprofessional? HAHA. And somehow I'm more into Latino/African-american men these days..... must be my roommate's influence T_T

anyways.....back to focusing on how to make my life not so screwed up.....orz

worried about my work stuff......sigh.....hopefully it'll work out if i work harder....

in other news.... I'm so surprised at all the random rap songs i have in my ipod. I think it's cuz i downloaded a whole batch of them but wasn't really into it back then. But now it's like.....omg i have soooo many classics and whatever's playing on the radio.....hahaha

my fav line is "you got mirrors in yo pants cuz i see me in 'em" rofl

Quite excited about this weekend. First is the trip to mitsuwa/kinokuniya. I even made a playlist JUST FOR IT. Lots of kpop for the korean girl xD she seems to only like girl groups too....good :)

the 'cute guy' wanted to watch japanese movies......but eh.....i'm not really feeling japanese media/entertainment these days. It's like all the same slow boring storyline..... tho i dun like watching american movies either..... or most tv shows.

And later tonight.... going out for first time in SF! My roommate's like.....you been here 3 years and you never went out in SF? hahaha.....oops. She's really hilarious..... last night she was telling me a 'dumb survey class' she took in undergrad. Apparently the prof was splitting some line of sight into horizontal and vertical components. And he was all "Is it sine? cosine? no.... don't work it out yourself..... you'll get it wrong. I've seen many students get it wrong. Just remember.....it's ALWAYS sine" rofl

and on Sunday is visiting Daiso.....hopefully. I REALLY need to restock my fake lashes..... haven't been wearing any at all..... but yeah I totally can't do the japanese gyaru look. I just think my face is structured completely different.....even if they're also 'technically' asian.

Another one?

Maybe I should just make this my dream blog.....(esp since there's nothing much going on in RL anyways)

Had another crazy dream. Basically I was hanging out with the other girl and she was gushing how cute/good-looking that dude was. And then I was just all "i dun wanna hear it.... refuse to waste any more thought process on him" etc. And later when i was in the bathroom, I saw a pant leg of somebody by the door and was calling to her to watch out for the intruder. The intruder realizing he was noticed came in and opened fire on me :( I got shot in the head?

And then somehow 'I' turned into a big buff guy seeking revenge. Cuz I found out my 'friend' planned the incident. She lives in a huge castle somewhere and she magically turned into kuroki meisa, like how i magically turned into a guy.... Anyways so I trained super hard and got huge ripped muscles..... but i still thought she'd recognize me. And it happened while I was in the army, a big fiery cannon? hit someone and burnt his face. So while he was getting treated, I switched faces with him.....somehow I had a big long face cuz my face was too big on his..... and they had to pin the middle...... and his face on mine was too small so my neck was up on my face a bit...... and i had a scarred face...... and he was older too..... so i made more wrinkles and then worked in the stable at kuroki meisa's castle.... looking for a chance.....

orz..... maybe my imagination is a bit too overactive.....how do i turn it off? or channel it towards something useful??
