だいそにいこうか! Daiso/Staying up late/ and other mysteries of life






PIC 1&2: DAISO duh.
PIC 3: My BABY. Kawasaki ZX-7 Ninja, 日本から!
PIC 4: What happens when the local chinese food store doesnt fix their sign bulbs,
yea you da FOO!

I went to Daiso today in Mtn View and bought various useful cups, bowls, tea straining teapot (love that) and spent a nice long time browsing stuff taht to my surprise was in general made in Japan! Cool! Dai-san, haha, is my friends name, didnt think about how coincidental that is..Dai-san, Daiso ni ikou ka? Wahhaaaha:) Last night I went/tried to go clubbing in SF, didnt go so well so i'm skipping that, haha. Today Dai-san and I made various foods, rice w/furikake, tamago omuretto, ご飯とわさびのりそしてふりかけ。おいしかった! だいさんの家でプチプチToyありました。My friend has this puchi puchi toy which simulates popping small air bubbles as used for insulating packages, haha. Basically you keep pressing it and it makes random noises like "eyunng!" or "boing" or (nara). Supposedly there's some non PG-13 noises but I wasn't able to extract them.

Try Daiso out! You'll like it, theres tons of useful stuff that's actually made in Japan and most of it is only $1.5, 安いよ!

Open minds + coffins = Nuclear fission ;)

Life is journey, duh. What I need to grow as a person,
well I'm not getting it here. I realized partially why
I'm not satisfied with my life, its because I haven't
foudn the bright open-minded people who've traveled and
stretched themselves, because it really is a one-way trip.
That itch I can't seem to scratch, the part of me that
refuses that cant be satisfied by my current lifestyle
is what I WILL KEEP ALIVE until I reach the next step in
my life. Stagnancy=death so moving forward is the only option
right now. I'm not satisfied with my life thus I study abroad.
I will feed this craving until I'm satisfied, until I reach
the next plateau or something drastic happens,etc. I
know I think really differently and most people don't give
a damn and are content with living a so-so life in relatively
the same area, or whatever. I'm really disappointed with SJSU,
I wish I would have known it to be so unstimulating and as
dead of an atmosphere BEFORE I went there... I just
wanted college to be a place where I meet stimulating
and vibrant people that inspire me to grow to new heights
and into whose lives I can breath some fresh air as well...
What can I do?
I want to stretch myself/grow, but don't feel I can do that
here in SJ...what do I do??? Damn... This is what I really feel
and think deep inside, call it depression, I call it
questioning myself and trying to find out what makes up
a substantial life. Until next time...I keep searching and
moving forward...

Joys of Downtown SJ

This one goes out to all the intelligent ppl living in downtown, wait...where the **** are they???

Since living downtown, the following have occurred...
Today: So I'm making pancakes right? I look up out the window
desiring to see a beautiful sunrise or something, lo and behold
a guy is pissing right on his backdoor...lovely..
- Getting hit on by a ~40ish asian guy right in front of MLK Library...lovely.
- Watched a guy peeing in my parking lot against the fence...I said "Pee somewhere else!" I dont remember what he said back but it was probably something stupid in a half-drugged daze...
- Been asked for money in multiple locations, bus fares.
- Heard/Watched hi-speed car chases blitz by my window.
- Watched 6 or 7 cops line up down my street, searching for
who knows what with a flashlight outside a house near me.
- Just this morning I looked outside my bedroom window, what do ya know
some idiot had left his car "parked" halfway on the curb and half off...dumbass...

Seriously everyone knows Downtown SJ doesnt attract a bright crowd. I count myself as a rare breath of fresh air to the area. I dont know where people my age live, Im guessing its at home with mommy and daddy. IMHO people dont grow up and mature well
living at home, up to age 18 or 20 sure but after that get out on ur own! I enjoy living on my own, its been a growing experience, but its also boring and lonely sometimes. I wanna live with people my own age or college, theres some ahem really weird ppl where I live....yada sore...何でここに住んでいますか。。。 Everyone needs to travel..hmmm.brain is playing games with me now..its late...1:31..class tomorrow at 9...lovely.

I had fun this weekend, played pingpong with JiEun shi :) Also watched movies with my friend D_kun hahah....D_kunnnnnn.

I'm happy studying languages, if I didnt hvae those I'd be really.....I'm glad I have those! hanguko and nihongo iiiiiiiiiiiiiii! OK i'm gonna sleep. If you read all the way to the end...mad props! Sorry for the incoherent flow...haha. Leave a comment please!
