lol

the labour office called me today.
"there is one lady interested in ur job ad."
woow!(^o^)/
"wat is she doing??"
"donno. shes 51 years old. age doesnt matter, does it?"
"no. does she have enough experiences?"
"i..i..i think sooo. maybe u'd better talk with her now."
lololol

i thought labour office introduces the applicant's background first.
but it was 5 mins before their closing time(5pm).
no time for anything. so they made us talk in a hurry.

"hello! im yokota.", i said to the lady.
"........" no answer.
"hellooo. im yokota."
"........"

wat is this applicant??? lol

"may i know ur name?"
"im Sugaya."
"where do u live?"
"im living in xxxxx, very close to ur office."
"thats great! could u please fax ur CV??"
"i dont have my CV today."

lololol <--- then why is she in the labour office(?!)
i hesitated..

"oookay. could u please post it or email me??"
"no. im coming to ur office tomorrow"
"sorry, my boss is not here. we will set an interview later."

"But i want to bring my CV tomorrow!!!! my house is very close to u!!"

wat an aggressive applicant-chan. we set the interview at 11am tho.
i dont know if she acts normal tomorrow...(^o^;;;

Turning Japanese

heard this song in 'Beverly Hills Ninja'.
very funny movie of clumsy fat Ninja.
sad to hear that actor Chris Farley died after this movie.


Turning Japanese
- by the vapors

I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you all round my cell
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
That's why I'm turning Japanese

I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

hope he would not mind. haha~

it was sunny but very windy today.
i bought chinese zasai pickles, bamboo shoots and miso soup.
these are yummy with steamed rice!
i should sprinkle dried seaweed on the top(*^o^*)
becoz i've been going to Mcdonald everyday, i need to eat japanese food.
juz seen an article abt health, it said rice will reduce the risk of breast cancer. lol
but it seems theres no rice in my apartment. thought i put some in the shelves?? (Desperately Looking for Rice Now) lol
who wants to eat chinese pickles with pasta/bread??
and who wants to go out again on such a windy day? *tear*

To change your mind
I'm so in love with you
You're too deep in
You can't get out
You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house
Yeah, baby, I'm crying over you

Don't you know promises were never made to keep?
Just like the night, dissolve in sleep
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue

Yeah, the other night, crying
Crying baby, yeah I'm crying
I'm like a child baby
I'm like a child baby
Child yeah, I'm like a child, like a child
Like a child

You think you're one of a special breed
You think that you're his pet Pekinese
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue

Last night I was dreaming
How you'd be mine, but I was crying
Like a child, yeah, I was crying
Crying like a child
You will be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, all mine
You could be mine, could be mine
Be mine, all mine

trip to Atlanta
Originally uploaded by niki yokota.

some frens pointed out that 'sweet tea' is southern english. im sorry if i made u confused!
as i mentioned before, we japanese have problem of R & L sounds. coz theres no particular sound like "L" in our language, we pronounce it like "R" or vice versa...lol
so, as i expected, there were some embarrassing moments during trip.
like when i said "where is bathloom??"
american ppl goes "huhhhh????"
"bathloom"
"????"
"bath..LOOOM, toilet"
(roll their eye balls) *tear*

"do u have a pet, niki?"
"yeah i had labbits before."
"labi...???"
"LABBITS." (repeat 7 times)
"???????"
"bunny!"
ROFL

gaijins(foreigners) in japan know this fact well, so i can manage smoothly tho. it was tough at the airport, when the security guard asked me, "Did u lock ur suitcase??" or something quickly.
"rock rock rock????" <-- niki in confuse (^o^;;;;
"locked"
"!?"
so he flipped a warning board and asked,
"Do u have a gun in there??"
"noooo!"
as i laughed like an idiot, he shouted, "come! stay there!!"
geeeee... i had to stand up near that x-ray(?) for a while. wat a shame lol

these are southern US meals (fried okra, black eye peas and corn bread were yummy!!)
the flight to Tokyo from Atlanta was 14 hours today. they took northern route, near Alaska and Siberia.
america was soooo gigantic!! Delta Air Line has cute lil compass which show the location of the plane. i think it took abt 5 hours or so to fly across the mainland today.
(it seemed like an endless continent until we got to the ocean).
after this trip, tokyo looked soo crowded and ugly. no trees!)
i was soooo tired and collaped in the bed as soon as i got back home...(^o^;; then woke up in a few hours, edited my photos in flickr tho. i still have more film to be developed tomorrow.
hope they will turn out well. thanks million for these frens who gave me sweet comments!!!! i will see ur blogs very soon!!
