| f-list, I miss youuuuuuuuu *clinghugs*
This morning, I magically discovered EXILE's "Last Christmas" on my ipod after I set it to shuffle. Yes, it is a cover, but it's a wonderful cover with a nice twist to the melody and beautiful vocals. Thus, the singing hasn't stopped since looking up the lyrics on uta-net.
Oh, right, I haven't blogged for almost a week. I need to stop doing that. :'D Nothing noteworthy happened yesterday, or over the weekend. I've just been really lazy and surprisingly, too lazy to keep up with fandom. Haha, I got burned out after two months.
Last Wednesday still holds the place of best day of my entire life! I think I have flailed to a good lot of people about it since then, and have either gotten a look of amusement or the "holy-crap-trisha-you're-insaaaaaaane" face that I am used to. I'll probably save the whole thing for that Ryohei meme I still have to do-- what? I never finish anything.
Riana and I went to New York that same Wednesday afternoon, hanging out and things like that. At asahiya, we sat down at the back of the store, in the kid's section, and read "mata ashita," some really adorable children's book. Then, at B&N, we found the college prep + language section and enjoyed ourselves a little bit too much. Our Korean pronounciation was really bad, but not as bad as my tagalog. Goodness gracious, I sounded like a foreigner. Give me my dialect ):
Thanksgiving was a quiet little affair with the family. Woke up, did AP European homework, helped mom cook dinner, had dinner with tenants, and chilled for the rest of the night. it was nice to hear Mark's current adventures in mini house-parties.
Black Friday shopping accomplished! Paid a long, long trip to SoHo first. UNIQLO still holds a special place in my heart; I got two pairs of jeans for $40 altogether, usually $50 each! Got free alteration along with that, ha~ I finally have non-skinny jeans that fit me! That and a warm, purple merino wool sweater for $20 and a white "boyfriend style" button-up shirt for $20 from $40 (goodness gracious, $40)-- it dwarfs my teeny self. I swear my mom and I spent a good four hours in there. Failure.
I have a new pair of kiiiiiiiiiiicks-- really, really cute pink, orange, brown, and white nike dunks from the kids' section at foot locker :3 It's weird how 5Y = ladies 8. My foot is 6.5 - 7. WAS TRYING TO AVOID BIG SHOES, but they did not have my size. I kind of don't want to wear them because creases would look ugly, but at the same time, I want to break them in at a dance class. The puma store had a scarf-hood that my mom and I thought was pretty damned awesome; been thinking about getting one of those for a while, but never did until now! It really keeps my neck warm.
Er, it took 10 minutes of searching to find the Broadway SoHo starbucks. Starbucks, you have disappointed me. Why were you four blocks away ): My mom and I had the spinach feta wrap and I had a mocha frap. Or something. So good, we hadn't eaten since 8 that morning. Dean & Deluca was a choice, but goodness gracious, the prices. No.
After picking up my jeans from UNIQLO (and watching my mom talk to really cute salesmen asjasf) and getting a vest that I have been sorely needing from F21, we took the subway to kinokuniya! Thank goodness the Everyday/CAN'T GET BACK singles were there! When I went with Riana, they weren't there, I was so disappointed. Junon ended up being the only thing I bought-- oh, the lady at the register had the most beautiful Japanese I have ever heard. It was, er, melodic? And then she thought I was Japanese, so it was all going fine until she asked me if I wanted a bag. Now, last week, I did not know bag (when dealing with shops) in Japanese; now I do. And I could have sworn, really, that she said arimasu (have), not irimasu (need). Because when I asked her in Japanese to repeat what she had said, she said "Oh, do you want a bag?" Sure.
Um, anyway, the singles. I stopped in front of the shelf where the new releases are always placed, cover facing forwards for convenience, and found the limited editions A and B on top of each other. I grabbed A (Everyday) first, died of disappointment, found B under it, and then panicked because I couldn't find the CD-only version. Turns out, it was sitting on the next shelf down, with a bunch of the other new releases. My mom mistook it for the tour DVD set (which is beauuuuuutiful, by the way. That's what the sexy pictures of the boys are for. BOX SET, BABY), hahaha. When I went to pay, there was this ridiculously adorable Japanese guy at the register talking in Japanese to who seemed to be a tourist? He was cute when he noticed me standing there: "Ah! Sorry, hello~" So he went on talking to the other guy, who at one point, asked how to get to SoHo! Now, I really should have said something; I was just standing there watching them talk back and forth and understanding every single word in their conversation. It's nice that the courage to say something came up when the tourist guy reached the door and I said, "...uh, I could have told you how to get to SoHo?" "...ah, really?" *facedesk* And then, to make it worse, I gave him the wrong amount to pay for the singles, which by the way, was ridiculously expensive, argh. Out of habit and want to try out my Japanese, I said, "ah, sumimasen," and he looked at me with an expression that said, 'you know Japanese?' So after that, it was really cute, and he just kept talking to me in Japanese the whole time asdhasjfhajskf. It made me really happy! He also had the cutest smile. When he handed me the bag, I said "arigatou gozaimasu~" back to him, and he laughed. asjajahsfjakf! I probably scared my mom when we got out and I went, "asjhdajsfhajksf chouuuuuuuuuu kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiii DDDDDD:! nihongo tsukatta \:D/"
Yeah, so, on Monday, I went around telling everyone about this past Wednesday! It got to the point where, in club, I got the video streaming from the y!j live talk site to show sensei. She was so surprised. "...torisha-san? anta?" Hahaha, and everyone else was just going, "ahhhhhhh it's so cool!" Connie got it up on the projector, and I think I died a bit, playing the "arigatou gozaimassu~" from ryohei. And then, as I expected, sensei said, "Y'know, they got confused by your question?" YES SENSEI I KNOW. Please don't rub my Japanese fail in.
At the same time, I chilled in there for two periods today, mostly talking to her in Japanese. I get it most of the time and can answer. We've also concluded that I'm officially a Japanese first grader. Good lord, I was doing those cute little puzzle books, and the only one I got was "what's the thing at the end of igirisu?" I don't remember the exact question. But it was risu, a squirrel. SO MUCH WIN. She also complained at me a lot, saying, "...what the heck are you doing here? You're bored? Don't you have another teacher?" oh sensei, you know you love me, lolololololllllllllll. I bother her way too much, but hey, she tells me to go practice with her, anyway!
So I want to go see BoA tomorrow. ): And I should do my homework~ lol college. - Tags:black friday 2008, cute japanese boys, japanese is my life, kinokuniya, life so hard, new york, ryohei i love you ♥, school sucks, shopping, soho, thanksgiving 2008, wtf
