I often have this nightmare where I lose all my teeth at once. It’s a very scary feeling. Sometimes, it happens while I brush my teeth in the dream. As I brush my teeth, my teeth fall out just like when I lost my baby teeth, except for all of them come out within 5 seconds. I can even feel the holes with my tongue in the dream. Then I realize that these are my adult teeth and I have to wear false teeth for the rest of my life. It makes me feel desperate..

I saw gray pigs that are considered to produce meat equivalent to Matsuzaka beef. Though their fat quality is considered to be the best of its kinds, they didn’t look too attractive… They looked very much like the ladies on Yumcax’s bulging beauty cards.

I cooked these huge huge shrimps a couple days ago. They were so big that they made me feel guilty for breaking their heads off and ripping their shells.. quite tasty though.

Peopel here hit giant bells at temples 108 times on New Year’s Eve in order to get rid of 108 evil spirits that exist in every human. I didn’t hit the bell this year and heard only one ring, so I’ve got 107 evil spirits in me to begin the new year..

Among all the vegetables, I think yams are the most “verbal” veggie. When I peel their skin, they quickly turn pink and green as if they were screaming from the pain. It makes me feel guilty..

I like soaking my feet in hot bath when they are cold. Today, I was wondering why they feel ice cold right after I soak them in hot water.. I’d think that the feet would feel super warm since the temperature difference between my feet and water are bigger than normal. Weird…

I saw a news reportor with huge ear lobes today. They were so big that he looked as if he was wearing some pink ear rings. People here believe that a person with big ear lobes earn lots of money.. it must be quite strange to get attention from ladies just because of the ear lobes though. They aren’t exactly the sexiest part of a body.

I got a cold. I need a pizza scraper for my throat.. something is stuck there and I can’t cough it out.

I went to see a movie and spent three hours sitting on a seat that is just like a seat in an airplane. I’m spending ten more hours on a real airplane seat tomorrow.. not very happy.

Last week, I ate tons of blueberries. I had lots of blueberries skins between my teeth and Yumcax was laughing at me. So, I asked him if he had any “floth”. He laughed, so I said, “fine. do you have any fRoth?” He didn’t tease me any more, so I was like “HA! I win.”

But the fact was that I went one step away from the actual word. I wonder if Yumcax was grinning like a clown in his mind when I said froth..

If I ever become super famous, I don’t want the Japanese government to put my face on bills. I don’t want people to describe me as somebody who’s related to money. Plus, you can make funny faces with anybody’s faces on bills. Here’s how you do it:
1. You draw a line that connects the center of one eye and the end of lips on the same side as that eye. You do it for both eyes and fold along the lines.
2. Look at the person from either one of the longer sides of the bill.

See?

I had a durian milk shake last night. It was pretty tasty except the aftertaste wasn’t so good.. especially when I burped.

I’m a pretty competitive person.

Here in the US, people say “bless you” when somebody sneezes. For some unknown reason, this doesn’t happen to me too often. It makes me feel bad NOT because I want to be blessed every time I sneeze but rather because I feel like I’m losing in a ‘who gets more blessings’ game. In my biochem class, I got 0 blessing.. I don’t understand why I’m so bad at this game. Maybe I sneeze too manly..

I went to a glassware store. Everthing in that store was very expensive and very fragile. I can’t stay in that kind of store for more than 5 minutes because I get so agitated for some reason that I would start smashing everything around me. In fact, my hands started shaking after I spent 5 mins in that store..

I don’t like diamond commercials. They usually show how guys are supposed to express the intensity of their love by giving big diamond rings and such and I don’t like that. That’s what guys do to ho ho hos, not to lovers.

When I was little, I thought that the batman sign was the inside of somebody’s mouth (the batman’s head being the uvula etc…)

I’m not too attracted to batman, superman, spiderman or X men kinds of men. I just think about how they change in and out of their costumes.. not cool at all.

I had a test on Baroque music. I had NO idea how to answer any of the questions. I’m not going to listen to any music by Haydn ever again! Or at least until I graduate..

I heard that there is a new kind of sake that doesn’t have any alcohol in it.. I’m not sure how it works but the news reporter said that it still tasted like sake. So, I guess this doesn’t really appeal to me… I suppose it’s good for the Japanese toddlers who have to drink sake on New Year’s day.
