looked at 7 apartments during this weekend.
one was beautiful. can overlook mt. fuji from window when the sky is clear.
but someone took it before me.
i have to wait for cancellation.

<> total real estate agents i visited.....6
<> total apartments i saw.....11
(5 more apts are scheduled for next weekend) *SIGH*

there was another apt i really liked,
and signed the application form last week.
i called my mother, and asked for her opinion.
the realtor said the room is not vacated yet.
so we juz looked there from stairways.

"mama, thats the room where i want to move in!
how do u like it??" i said.

then, suddenly an elephant-like-creature appeared.
then it turned back, showed a horse-like-ass......??????
after several moments, we realized that was a Naked Man stambling on the porch...(^o^);;

i know some ppl like to be naked and relax at home.
but Not on the Porch!!!!!!!

so we jumped up and canceled the application.
probably he is causing a lota probs.
cuz there are many vacancy in that bldg.
and even ppl under his room were moving.
i hope he will be gone straight to mental institution soon!! (>__<)

i came to know that taxi driver is a totally LIAR~~!!
my bro said he called the taxi company several times and asked abt his mobile.
(he had a receipt, in which their ph no. and driver's name were written)
but driver was sooo dishonest, kept saying that there was no mobile...lol
so my bro insisted that "im quite sure that i left it in your car!!!!"
then he asked him to find and bring it to his office.
the driver has my bro's name and ph no.
...........................
then wat was that drama????
(^o^)(^o^)(^o^)(^o^)(^o^)(^o^)
wow! typhoon is coming to tokyo soon.
outside is like the wizard of oz!!
feel like im in the aquarium now.

got a strange call in the afternoon.
first he said, "im looking for yokota-san." on the mobile.
so, i was like.. "huh? speaking. where did u get my phone no.??"
his voice was not familiar. age abt 50-60. ????????
then he explained that he is a taxi driver. looking for someone who dropped a mobile phone in his car.....lol
he said that was saturday night. he flipped address book in the mobile later, and found a lota yokota's name. so he chose my name and called.
it was Hard to figure out who the hell dropped that mobile!?
he said they were a couple, man & woman.
(my parent? bro? sis? uncle? cousins?)
we sighed. (>_<)
then he said he picked them up at Roppongi, and drove off to XXXXX. (that was a name of town where my bro lives. haha~!!)
"oh great!! wud u please give me his house phone no. or address??"
"i dont know."
"then give me his office phone no."
"i dont know...." how embarrassing! (^o^);;
so i called my mother. she was not at home!!!!
called my father. he also didnt know Anything except mobile no. lololol

&%$#"$ Wat a beautiful family tie!!!! ~%"#%&'

the driver insisted that he wants to send the mobile by courier today.
so i juz gave him my father's address.
heard that my mother could call his office later. my bro was not there, but his coworker said thank u.
but we dont receive any call from my bro till now.
i wish he wud at least send me thank u mail...lol

Expo 2005 Aichi (Nagoya)

Nagoya Expo
Originally uploaded by niki yokota.

was sooo hot and tiring(^o^);; i never thought of going there, cuz admission fee is 4300 yen (abt USD $39). but my inlaw & his fren drove me up there and treated very well, so i just followed them for 3-4 hrs.

*worsest things happened:

1. the security guards asked us to dump plastic bottles at gate. we had abt 3 liters of drinks. so we had to fight with them. finally negotiated, kept them behind the gate.

2. forgot sun screen lotion!!(>_<)

3. my inlaw's son(1 y.o.) refused baby carrier. so i had to drag it all the way up.

4. there was indian dance show at indian pavilion. but damn security guard said baby carrier was blocking the crowds. so i was forced to move outa there.

5. my inlaw's daughter cried. she wanted my ring and arm-watch.

6. had curry at bangladesh pavilion. cuz other curry shops were crowded. a small cup & one piece of nan for 1000 yen.

i never sweated sooo much before. this Expo will be held till mid-sept. does anyone want to go there????

today i went to haircut. the stylist was not as bad as the previous one, who complained abt my wavy hair. this one cost me abt USD$45 for shampoo & cut.
i said "can i have a magazine?", when she started. cuz i hate doing nothing but looking at mirror.
then she goes,
"No. i cant look at u straight if u look down." in mean tone...(*o*)
S*#% the F*&% UP~~~!!!!
i wanted to scream, but other stylist was standing behind her. (he was pretty cute and innocent.) so i shut my mouth and looked at mirror for a looong time. ;;tear;;
donno when i can find a normal hair salon!!

A-bomb

Originally uploaded by niki yokota.

its been 60 yrs since atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima, august 6, 1945.
so there was a documentary tv, which showed 3D image of that day. oh A-bomb was soooo powerful(*o*) 50,000 ppl were killed at once, and the total death toll reached 300,000 after that. i couldnt stop watching it.
wat was weird, one ex-pilot who dropped the A-bomb paid a visit to Hiroshima recently, and discussed with 2 victims thru an interpreter.
i thought that was brave of him to do that face to face. the victims were of course asking him questions like "didnt u feel sorry at least??" "no apologies??" etc.
then he said "no way!", pointed finger at the one victim and yanked, "u started that. u should apologize!"
but the man whom was pointed was 11 yrs old at that time, playing in the class room and survived.
it was a relief they shook hands at the end. but i doubt if it was a good documentary???

wow2

thanx poison for the quizilla. my result was pretty good~(*^o^*)


Your soul is happy.
You live life like its all a fun game. You
don't like to take things seriously which is
both good and bad. Due to your fun loving
nature you don't like steady boyfriends that
much. They come and go, and you simply aren't
ready for your true love to come just yet.
Generally you are a good friend who can cheer
up those in need of it and are fun to hang out
with. You hate feeling sad yourself and avoid
it the best you can. Parties and social
gatherings are your things, whether it be in
small or large groups of people. It is no
surprise that you are well-liked among your
peers.


How is your soul?(pics)
