ところてん

きようははじめてところてんかってきてたべました。

それでたべてみたらびっくり！！　

ふしぎなあじがして、ぜんぶたべれなかった。　

しかもふたっもかってきちゃったから、すてずにルームメイトにあげました。 

　

So I bought Tokoroten for the first time hearing it is good for you especially since it low in calories. It's basically gelatin like substance made from algae from the sea. I took one bite of it and immediately did not like the taste or texture because it was extremely slimy and gooey. Instead of just throwing away the rest of the packets I bought, I just ended giving it to my room mates. Hopefully they'll enjoy it a lot more then I did.

Billabong Tsurigasaki Pro 2010

This past week I went to go watch the Billabong Pro at Shida Shita to cheer on my friend's Hajime and Akira. The first day of the contest the waves were small but the weather was extremely nice but typhoon 12 changed all of that the next day and it turned super cold, windy, and rainy. Overall I had a blast. The video below I filmed myself on my crappy camera. lol :)

Hajimekun と Jet Boy お疲れさまです！！！　ふたりともしあいがんばったね　：）

PARIYA

このまえ友達と青山のPARIYAでランチしました。

おいしくてヘルシーでやすかったよ。

ランチセットのいっぱいあるなかで３しゅるいえらんでごはんとスープとドリンクはおかわりじゆうだった！ それでせんえんだけだった！！！　

　

The other day my friend Masako took me to a nice little restaurant called PARIYA in Aoyama. 

It wasn't like a regular restaurant where you have waiters and waitresses serving you but more like a cafeteria. You stand in a line and tell the person behind the counter what 3 types of dishes you would like to go with your bowl of rice (they have regular white rice, brown rice, and rice with steamed vegetables in it). What took me by surprise was that the rice, soup, and drink was all you can eat and drink for only ¥1,000!!! which is extremely cheap price especially for being a restaurant in Tokyo. The food was delicious and very healthy and I didn't feel guilty once for eating as much as I did.  Most of the customers there were women who were either on their lunch break from work or having a lunch date with their friends. Check it out if you are ever in the area :)

HIIIIIII KAZZZZZZZZZ

So I promised my really good friend Kaz Sano that I'd throw a shout out to him on blogspot! 

I have to say Kaz has made my living situation in Japan alot easier even though he's all the way in Hawaii. Whenever I feel lonely or if I have some kind of drama in my life, he's always ready to go on skype and listen to me and give advice. I have no clue how many hours i've spent so far on skype with him but I would have to estimate around 100 hours so far this past year. That's why we call each other skype buddies ☺ His family lives over here in Japan and they have taken me in as if I was there own. Thank you so much Kaz for everything you have done for me (especially for introducing me to you know who ;) )   

Kaz works very hard every day taking pictures of up and coming surfer groms and making videos for his website until wee hours of the night. It's gotta be the Japanese work ethic in him.

I LOVE CIARA

This girl is my hero. She has a body to kill for and such a sexy voice. I am always mesmerized when i watch her videos. She is without doubt one of the most talented artist out there today.

スタイルがよくて、歌もうまい。ちょうセクシー！！ Ciara みたいな体が欲しいな〜

トリートメントとカラー

Today I went to get my hair colored and treated at a hair salon I always go to called afloat in Omote-sando. My hair gets easily damaged from the sun and the ocean and I have to get a haircut at least once a month to have manageable hair. Autumn is here and so I decided to color my hair a dark brown. The picture below is my hairstylist Akiyamasan. He always does an incredible job. Without him my hair would be in major crises. Thanks Akiyamasan!!!! ☺☺☺  

今日はヘアートリートメントトカラーしにヘアサロンにいってきました。表参道にあるafloat というヘアサロンです。かみのけがまえとくらべてさらさらになりました。秋山さんありがとう！！！☺☺☺　　　

I wanna go surfing!!!!!!!! サーフィンしたいいいいいい！！！！！！

I'm really itching to get in the water! i haven't been in the best of mood lately and think I can blame that on not surfing. It's already September so I really need to surf as much as possible before it gets too cold and I have to start wearing a wetsuit! >.< I HATE WETSUITS!!!!!!!!! I can't stand them. I have such a hard time moving around in them and I always feel like my body is being constricted. There's so many great surf spots in Japan but the only problem is they're all so far away. I don't have a car and don't really have any connections. BUMMER☹☹☹☹☹☹ I went to Sendai last week with my friends but the waves were small. I haven't had a super sick session yet in Japan. argghhhhh

I would love to go places such as Miyazaki, Shikoku, Nijima, Wakayama, and Fukushima.  

Hopefully one day...  

せんしゅう、仙台にいきました。波がちさくてちょとびみょうだたけど友達がいてたのしかたです。もっと日本のサーフスポトいってみたい〜！ つれていってくれる人がいるかな？？？

☹☹☹ My sad panda bear face. I need to go surf soon ☹☹☹
