Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So... writing this journals is getting tiring.... lol

Anyway! Today I got to watch the editing of a break dance video for television, and I plan on buying the dvd because its sick. Isopp World: Perfect Combustion. Snag it if you can find it. It really inspired me to get more involved in the world of Hip Hop: Dance, DJ, Graff, Rap (music).

Anyway, I got to go watch these world class boxers train in a gym and then I had to translate my co-workers Japanese into English when interviewing this 6 time world champion coach and this Pacific champ Philippine boxer. After talking to the coach for a while he told me some very interesting stuff about boxing and Japanese culture, and it was very very inspiring (and off camera, thank god). I got his business card and everything.

Funny things: The Japanese famous boxer got naked in front of the camera to weigh himself, which I thought was funny. After looking at the tapes, he is JUST off the screen hahah. Also, the gym has a very rare dog from Africa which I never saw before, and Japan only has 60 of them. That was neat.

Holy crap, what an experience. Anyway, I got home really late, ate dinner, and crashed. I would type more, but im tired. I really need to start taking more pictures....

Anyway, Wednesday at work (oh! before I forget, I finally snagged Koda Kumi's Koi no Tsubomi, because it has been stuck in my head forever.... I am starting to love that girl's music and dance style....need more cdssss.....), and I listen to the radio show, eat lunch with new co-workers (including one fantastically beautiful girl that wants to go drinking with me. Score.), and then I have to translate the boxing tapes... which takes me about 4-5 hours and three pages of Japanese. After a 1 hour explanation, my job is complete and I....


....drumroll please....

Successfully translated a television broadcast fully from one language to another for the first time ever. I could even Simultaneously translate some of it for my co-worker.

NEAT.

Anway... I go home late again because of work, and I meet my homestay sister again for like the 3rd time ever, and her hair is phenominal! She must have gotten it cut recently, cuz it looks FANTASTIC. I said it looked great and she got kinda weirded out, but I hope she didnt think I was hitting on her or anything. I mean, she IS my homestay sister. That would be odd... lol

Finally the rain is slowing down and people are starting to return to their homes in outlying Ishikawa. School email has been down for a while but I am slowly getting communication back from people who I thought were swimming in the Japan Sea by now.

I watched some hilarous tv today, and learned of a new fashion designer in Harajuku called Malko Malka, and I can order clothes online if I want. I learned it from a comedy show because Hirayama Aya had to swap her clothes with this comedian every time she got an answer wrong, and her fav brand was Malko Malka. Also, Aya is very attractive. Just like to add that. hahah

Anyway, im caught up with the journal!!! Till next time!
