Are you crazy?

when i was on standby yesterday waiting for my ticket, i was nervous. but when i seen seat 1J, all the nerves went away. i knew i was going to have a comfortable flight to japan. it’s the first time i drank champagne at 10 o’clock in the morning…. ended up watching 4 movies, ate good food and ice cream, took a nap, and next thing you know, i was at narita…

why do i come to japan every typhoon season? because of this! i tell my friends everywhere in the world that no place has better waves than japan. when it’s good, it’s good. but when it’s not good, it’s not good. so the wait makes it all better. i’m ready, my boards are ready, my spearguns are ready, and my camera is ready. so come next typhoon, i’m moving around. so to all my friends in japan, please keep me posted. and see you really soon!!! by the way, this photo was taken by kinsan at a really secret spot on an outer island somewhere in japan. if i tell you where, i’d have to kill you afterwards…
have a great evening!!!!

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….
