ESP

mutton biryani(fried rice)
Originally uploaded by niki yokota.

there are some ppl who have ESP(extra sensory perception) or something, arent there??
one is my mother. she said her sis who died young might be saving her with this power.
like that naked man we saw last summer..lol she fixed the time to go there and found that moron!

the other ESP is my boss. hundreds of customers are calling him daily, but he can tell who is the next one almost 95%..(*o*) he also reads my mind like magic.

today i've got email from ms.K on the mobile phone. she was awfully upset with her new boss.

"damn! he forgot to put the balloonfish in the fridge! if he doesnt wanna eat, i could have eat it!! it will stink until monday coz we are not allowed to dump garbage during weekend".

"yakk! why did he get that balloonfish?" i asked.

"that was a ritual gift from Auction. ur company is also participating many automobile auctions. dont u get yummy food from them?" she said.

"not at all!"

"poor niki! maybe ur bosses are taking them home. they should treat u sometimes."

so i got embarrassed and sighed...
after several hours, my boss was back with a big dish of biryani(fried rice), yogurt and tea....(^o^;;;
as if he was reading our mails??
first lunch i've got from my boss in 3 years~!
it was tears of joy!! the mutton bones give good flavour to the rice.

i get shy and worried very much.

shortly her reply came.
"gero"(vomit)

totemo kowai kanjino hito de...
(the person looked very scary)
futsuu no kaiwa ga dekimasen deshita(>_<)
(couldnt have a normal conversation with her)
bosu wa ii to ittemasuga...
(my boss says shes okay tho)
ano hito to isshoni shigoto suru nara, shinda hooga mashi kamo...
(i would rather die if i have to work with her) lol

wish we can find someone like her: yoon sona, korean actress. she looks so polite and sincere. am i too demanding?? haha~

happy valentines day!

i dont remember how many ppl asked me these questions:
"Wat do u think abt Japanese Men?? They look rich and popular in foreign countries. Are they really sweet??"
(@_@)(*o*)(^o^);;;

i dont want to open old wounds but... come to think of valentine days with my japanese bf's, i have noooooo good memories.
my bf in univ days was very sweet tho.
i made pink valentine cake for him, which was totally failure and turned out to be weird texture like gum...lol
so he said, "it tastes good niki. but...lemme see if my dog can eat it!"
then he split it with his dog. awwww~!!
the dog was sniffing for a moment, but turned his face away.

"even my dog cant eat it! haha~"
he laughed his head off...lollllll

other valentines day was also crucial.
i gave chocolates to my colleagues.
but one japanese man took it sooo serious, and started saying i love u jokes and sexual harrassment words all the time. so i had to fight with him.

oh there was good valentines day!
it was an electronic company i worked for temporary.
the admi girl asked us to pay 10 bucks for valentine gifts to all male workers in the dept.
then the male workers gave us 'white day gifts' on march 14.
i couldnt believe my eyes... they gave each girl a big box of sweets & teddy bear.
(in japan only female give gifts to male on valentines day. and male give gifts to female on white day)
the way they handed gifts was very polite. even GM stood up and bowed many times.
it might have been waste of money tho. that was a great result of valentine day..(^o^;;

namaste! this deity was seen in japanese temple. looks like hes come from India. i seldom see many arms god in japan. sooo interesting! is this Shiva-ji?

it was windy and cold today.
(kyoo wa kaze ga tsuyoku samukatta)<
i went to my brother's apt.
(otooto no uchi e ikimashita)
i wanted to put some gifts in his mailbox.
(posuto no naka ni purezento o iretakatta)
becoz i bought some t-shirts for him in the USA.
(america de t-shatsu o katta node)

but the mailbox was locked and i couldnt insert anything.
so i called my brothers mobile.
"niki desu" (im niki)
i said 2 times, coz his voice was not clear.
then suddenly he said,
"im Working now. Can u say that shortly?" in very irritating voice..lollllll

so i put them next to the doorway and ran off.
i was awed and lost my way to the station. took abt an hour to get back home. (usually takes only 10 min tho) *tear*

labour labour..

we didnt hire that part-time woman.
she didnt show up becoz shes got INFLUENZA...lol
so i told her "we will cancel the offer." when she rang up.
"cant u juz wait till monday??" she cried out.
my boss says he can wait till she gets well.
but i really think that woman is not trustworthy, so pending her resume.

got another call from the labour office. they said one woman age 42 is interested in our job ad.
so i asked her to send her CV again.
the answer was same...."i dont have my CV today. will send it tomorrow."
lololol
wat happened to japanese women these days!????
when i looked for my job, i always carried 2-3 CVs with me, in case of urgent interview.
and the job was taken in one day or less than that, when there were many applicants!
the staff of labour office seem to be sooo indifferent abt this matter.
and they dont even know the background of person whom they are introducing.
im really scared of the next interview...(^o^;;;

my boss

i cant say which is my boss. but hes really genius and kind hearted.

tasted like mixture of milk pudding, orange jello, chocolate and vanilla ice cream(?) with plenty of nuts.
the milk pudding was a bit hard like annin-doofu in japan. love this dessert!

its been one year since i took this photo of tokyo tower.
i was sooo eager to dedicate these photos & blog to my friend, as mentioned in my profile. walked around in the coldest evening, shivering with a camphone in my hand.

But wat happened to that friend?? he never made comments in here...lol
i liked the way he loved japan. collecting samurai swords, studying kanji cards.
his dad went to vietnamese war and hated asians, that made him cry in despair sometimes. and yeah i thought he really had the samurai spirit, even tho he never visited japan...
now i feel soo embarrassed everytime i see my profile(^o^;;;
maybe i should change the concept of this blog, as i dont have energy to go out for shooting these days...
im really sorry abt it!!

todays dinner
Originally uploaded by niki yokota.

yesterdays semifinal of Maria Sharapova vs Maltina Hingis at Pan Pacific Open was fun!
here is the link: maria in tokyo http://maria-sharapova.org/
Hingis was unexpectedly strong and Maria commented later that she didn't have the fighting spirit like she usually does.
so i thought Hingis will win at final today. but other russian player won.
it was too cold to go out for photo shooting, so i juz took a snap of my dinner(canned clam chowder) sorry!!(^o^)//

so im getting only few light from tv and kitchen tonight.
it proves how lazy i am (^o^;;
the lamps had been blinking for abt a month tho. i enjoyed that blinky atmosphere like disco.
oh there was an earthquake at around 8:30pm. (max magnitude 5.1 in ibaraki.)
glad i came back earlier, coz the news reported that some train services were still suspended at 10pm.

i have 3 furby dolls in this room.
the black one talks sometimes, even tho the batteries were filled in 2-3 years ago.
he was saying "no light!" a couple days ago, when i hit his head accidentaly.
is this fortune telling furby lol
