good morning from steamy humid hot japan. gosh, when i got off the airplane yesterday, i felt the heat. 30 seconds later, i was sweating!!! but it’s ok because the cold draft beers with sushi taste much better!! i’m on day 1 and i’m getting excited on what’s ahead! i’m going to 7/11 to look for oden. have a nice day!!
when i first came to japan, i couldn’t speak japanese. many people ask me how i learned. here is it:
when i first got to japan, i had no friends, there were no waves, there was no cel phones or computers, or no nothing. i had lots of free time so i use to walk to the video store down the street and rent japanese dramas. why? because i thought the chicks were hot! haha. just joking… watching dramas only in japanese forced me to learn japanese. i started from “moshi moshi” and learned lines such as, “doshite sonno koto shita no?” or “zutto anata no koto ga suki datta!” no those aren’t pick up lines, i rented love dramas on purpose to i could learn everyday japanese and at the same time, keep me entertained….
on my last trip to japan, i found a secret website that shows every single japanese drama ever made. so i started to watch my all time favorite “Hoshi no Kinka” drama and got hooked!!! i ended up watching the whole dam drama. haha..
meet aya, no this is not the famous actress sakai noriko that got arrested. this is aya and the only name i have for this girl. aya is deaf and probably had the worst luck with love in the world. i couldn’t help but feeling sorry for her the whole drama because everything that could go wrong, went wrong for her. she must have cried 100 x in the drama and smiled only a few. it was pretty dam sad….
here she is crying again. haha… the cool thing about this drama website is that there are subtitles!!! yeah, back in the days, i didn’t know what the heck they were talking about because it was only in japanese. now i know everything and finally understand what happened. you might think i have free time to watch a drama? no, i watched it because i’m still learning japanese and this is the best way. if you ever want to learn japanese, i highly recommend watching dramas. ummmm, which one should i watch next??? any recommendations?
as far as aya, i will always feel sorry for her. no matter in fake life or real life, she’s always the poor girl that just couldn’t find love… kawaiso….
