Ooooooooh. I think my life style has been screwed up because I don't have to wake up in the morning... Although I didn't have a job in this summer, I woke up around 7am and went to the gym to work out. I think I really need to join in the gym to fix my lazy life style. By the way, I still think 22 hours drive is crazy!!!

I have been having a dream about going back to Japan. It is sooooo weird that I have such a dream. In the dream, I am always fighting with my parents about me living here. I think 2 years are long enough to miss my family!! I hope I can go back to see my kitty next summer. Also, I really need to buy video games in Japan too!

It's Friday! Yeppieeeeeee!! Well, since I haven't got a job yet, everyday is Friday for me! Yeppieeee!! Anyway, today, I didn't do anything at all! I was just watching TV. That is it! I could study GRE, I could add more contents for this site, or I could finish making my another website. I gotta work out because I am getting weaker and weaker!! Noooooooooooooo!!!

I had a awesome sleep last night. When I woke up in this morning, I felt great. I think that's because I consumed lots of alcohol last night. It took a second to fall asleep, and I didn't wake up in the middle of the night! Oooooh awesome awesome! I felt really good, so I studied GRE all day today. I think GRE isn't that bad after all. But, problem is I have to write personal statement... Yucky Vicky!

I was editing the video all day today. Well, actually, I was making picture and video sections for this site. Then, I started editing the video.. Mmmm, I am really really bad at video editing. I am also bad at encoding the finished video. I think encoding the video for web is really really reaaaaaally difficult! I wanted to encode all videos as quicktime format, so everyone can see it, but since Premiere has very lousy quicktime encoder, I just used WindowsMedia 9 encoder. So, if you are PC user and have installed WMP9 beta and have broadband connection, you can check this video out.

More video editing. It was really fun to watch all videos I took when I was still living in Bloomington. I am still having hard time to encode file to other format. Since I don't wanna buy new software to do that, I have to figure out by myself! By the way, watching old video tapes made me think I should start video taping Chicago stuffs!

I think I am getting fat. Although I only eat once a day, I am getting fat! How come I am getting fat?? I think jogging is not enough excise to lose fat... Damnit!

I felt soooooo ill last night after I ate dinner. I am 100% sure I got a food poison!! NOOOOOOOOOO!! But, all better now. I was trying to sleep, but couldn't because I felt so dizzy, and my stomach was really grumpy. So, I just kept watching movies on Sundance channel. I like this channel because this channel plays lots of movies I have never heard of. Anyway, I was watching TV until 4am in the morning and I felt much better. However, for some reasons, I couldn't sleep at all until 7am. I woke up 2pm in the afternoon....my life is so screwed!! Before I decided to move in to Chicago, I applied couple jobs in IN. One of the jobs I applied was Japanese interpreter. They did call me back, but they just told me they will call me back for interview, and they didn't call me back. I haven't heard from them since then, but now they want me!! I got email from them saying they are interested in me, so email them back. Damnit! Oh well, I will find something here...... By the way, I updated picture page, so check it out!

Oh yeah, it's Friday baby! Well, it really doesn't matter to me though! I was talking to my dad couple days ago and asked him to send me money because I don't have cash in my bank account. My dad seemed to be little bit mad because I haven't found a job, I am just spending money, and I am saying I wanna go back to school. He even told me he might cut me off within next couple months!! this is really not good. Now, I really have to look for a job....maaan! I guess I cannot shop until I find a job....suuuuuuck!! In the evening, Priyada called me if I wanna get together and have some drinks with her "ex" boyfriend Joshua. He is visiting her over this weekend, and she seemed to be very excited about his visit. I was kinda drunk after 3 beers and one shot because I only had salad for dinner...(I am getting fat!) But, unfortunately, I ended up with eating cake. Why! Damn me! Why I get hungry when I get drunk?? By the way, I cannot wait to go back to Bloomington to see my friends in next weekend. Well, actually, I cannot wait to go back to Bloomington to get milkshake at JiffyTreat!

I was supposed to call Priyada before the lunch, so we can go to Wolfgang Puck restaurant together. But, when I woke up in this morning, it was almost noon... I did call her, but they were already on the way to the lunch! Maan! Since I didn't get a lunch, I took train and went to downtown. I had to go to Barney's New York because I needed to buy face cleanser there. I also got tons of samples because the sales lady was really nice and agreed with me that men need skin care! I really really like Barney's New York alot because they carry wonderful items. I was checking men's clothes and found awesome jacket, but since I am not allowed to shop right now, I didn't buy anything!! How strong I am!!! Before I went to Barney's, I stopped by at Bloomingdale's and found awesome jacket from Fred Perry and other goodies, but I didn't buy anything either!! I was really proud of myself because I only bought thing I needed to buy today. However, being unable to buy things I want to buy is very stressful. I also went to Ralph Lauren to check things out and found cool argil sweater, but I didn't buy it! I have wanted to buy argil sweater so bad, but I guess I was really rational today! One of my dream is to shop at Barney's without worrying about money. By the way, I wonder if I am getting free dinner at Wolfgang Puck restaurant...

Mmmm, it was really cold today. I might be getting cold because I don't feel good. But, I cannot get sick right now because my health insurance will be expired soon... Stupid thing. I was watching Japanese animation movie called "Kiki's Delivery Service" on Disney channel. I watched this movie million times, but I still love watching it again and again and again! I didn't know Kirsten Dunst is playing Kiki's voice in English version. By the way, I am getting free dinner at Wolfgang Puck restaurant! Yepppieeeee!

I like cold weather because I get to wear more clothes. I was trying to withdraw money from ATM machine at CityBank, but I couldn't. My dad was supposed to deposit some money from Japan, so I can withdraw here. But, I realized that today is holiday in Japan, and actually here too!! So, I couldn't get money at all and my heart was broken! After I recovered from this unfortunate incident, I started writing the personal statements. I need to write 6 or 7 different personal statements for applying grad schools, and it sucks!! I don't see the difference between "statement of purpose" and "statement of goal." Applying NorthWestern isn't fun. Priyada called me when I was watching "Call for Help" on TechTv and told me that she got me 20% discount at Urban Outfitters! Sweeet! I will love her forever without actually loving her!

Maaaan, writing personal statements is much harder than I thought!! I know I wanna study psychology so bad, and I think I am good at studying psychology and working with children. However, it is really hard to describe why I am good at, why I am interested in working with children, and why I want to study psychology!! I just wanna write down "why not!!" I had little chat with Matt today at coffee shop he works at. I asked him how Melissa is doing because I haven't seen her for a while. It is really weird for me to not see her everyday. I used to see her almost everyday until she moved to Chicago because she was working at the coffee house and I went there almost every morning. I miss the tea with ginger, honey, and lemon!! I gotta find somewhere I can get that tea.

I am having very hard time to sleep past couple days. Last night, I went to the bed around midnight, and I actually fell asleep at 6am in the morning!! I know why I cannot sleep because I cannot stop thinking about clothes I saw at Barney's and Bloomingdale's. These clothes and shoes had my name tags on!! I am thinking maybe I can buy one of them to save my life. I really really really need to own them. If I don't, I could be killed from serious depression. Again, I really really really have to buy them!!!!!! Since there is no way my dad is gonna let me buy them, I guess I am gonna just use his card to buy before he removes my name from his account. I was watching Animal Planet tonight. I like the show called "Jeff Corwin Experience," because he doesn't abuse animals like Steve from Crocodile Hunter does!! I really hate Crocodile Hunter because I don't understand why he has to make crocodiles or other animals mad to attack him! I also like Dog Days because that show is so funny......am I watching too much TV or what!!

I don't feel well today. Although it was soooooooo cold outside today, my room was sooooooooooo hot! I even had to leave window open last night! And now, I got a cold because I left window open!! Very stupid. I thought if I get a coffee, I would feel better. So, I went to the coffee shop to get a cup of coffee. Actually, going outside was very very bad idea because now I feel awful! Of course, my window is closed. I do learn!! I didn't feel good, but I was writing personal statement all day and I forgot to watch Friends tonight!!!!! It's just horrible! I have no idea what happened to Chandler! Is he in Tulsa or what!! I cannot believe that I missed the show.... But, I did watch Scrub and Will & Grace even though I don't like both shows..... I really wish I could go back to 7pm tonight!!

It's Friday!! Yeepppieeee!! No!!! Actually, I couldn't sleep last night!! It's fucking 7:30am in the morning right now and I haven't had any sleep!! I was trying to sleep because I didn't feel good. But, I couldn't fall asleep! Since it's pretty early for unemployee man, I thought it might be good idea to insert current time. So, I can get some sympathy. I am inserting time right now!!.... Poor me.

Six years ago today, I came to America for the first time. Today is my 6th anniversary living in America, yaaaaaay!! And I need a hair cut. By the way, I am in Bloomington now with Ryan, Doug, and Pat. Last night, Ryan and Doug were punching each other to prove they control chi well. But, I don't think they control chi that so well because they seemed to be in pain. I went to see the professors today to talk about my choice of graduate schools. I think I am applying master degree in counseling psychology because I am very interested in doing it right now. It was really nice to talk with professors because they know what I should write about in personal statement and gave me pretty good advice. I also could meet other my friends too!! Yeepppieee!!

I finally got back from Bloomington. I had a great time staying at Ryan's (and Doug's and Pat's) house. We ate tons of donuts, thanks to Martha Stuart. We watched the movie "The Ring", and Doug and Ryan cannot stop talking about this movie. We went to the They Might Be Giants concert, and it was pretty good. Ryan impressed people with organizing his little space in the dining room. Doug cut my hair, and it looks pretty good. I learned Doug's daily routine: sleep, checking refrigerator, work out. Ryan was trying to convince me to come back to Bloomington and almost made me want to come back, but I just cannot give up living in Chicago because I like living in Chicago. I was trying to convince him to move to Chicago, but it seemed to be impossible thing to do because he has no desire to live in big city. Damnit! It was really hard to come back here because they are my favorite pals and I love them! But, I am sure I will see you them soon because I left my eye cream at their house..... Damnit!

I slept alot today. After I got back from Bloomington last night, I was soooo tired and just passed out after I wrote a log! When I woke up, I was pretty hungry, but I had no food, so I had to go to the grocery store to get something to eat. Since I am poor now, I wanted to save money, so I went to Sam's Club. I think Sam's Club is a good way to save up some money on foods. I bought lots of stuffs included alcohol! Yaaaay!! Now, my refrigerator is full of beer and diet coke. I was supposed to buy foods, but I spend most of money on beer. I am one step closer to be an alcoholic! My dad is gonna be so proud.

I was gonna go to the mall to look for a job, but I didn't do anything today! I called and scheduled GRE and TOFEL tests on next month. I didn't know now both tests have writing section!! And also they cost me alot! I don't know why they charge so much for computer test. Oh well, everyone has to pay to take GRE, so I guess it's alright. I heard there will be Final Fantasy X-2 in the early next year. I was checking the game site, and it looks pretty good. Since Tidus was gone in FFX, Yuna will be kicking monsters ass....and I am not sure about that!

Fuck Chicago. Priyada asked me to get concert ticket for David Matthews band for her birthday present. The ticket was on sale at noon today. Soooooo, I woke up 10am, and logged on ticketmaster.com and waited until noon. Of course, I couldn't get ticket!! The server was busy and I just got error message every time I tried to order ticket, so I called ticketmaster, but all lines were busy. Then, I realized I gotta buy it in person, so I went to the CD store which is one of ticketmaster outlet. I was pretty sure I can get pair of tickets because it was only 20 mins after tickets were on sale. However, all tickets were sold out!! God damnit! I just couldn't believe all tickets were sold out within 20 mins! It's just David Matthews Band! Since I am not fan of them at all, I didn't get this at all!! I learned a lesson today......don't buy ticket from online ever again!

Fuck Chicago II. Today, tickets for David Matthews Band's concert at Champaign was on sale from noon. I couldn't get their tickets at United Center here, it was my last change to get tickets! So, I woke 10am in the morning and got to the CD store around 11:40am. Surprisingly, there were already people standing the line! But, I managed to buy tickets, but but, when I checked my tickets, they were fucking Korn tickets!! People were standing line for Korn tickets, not David!! God damnit!! I was pretty upset because I thought I was not getting tickets since it was already 10 mins after tickets were on sale. Also, couple girls (I think they were tourists) were asking some kinda stupid theater tickets!! I wanted to tell them "buy the fucking tickets somewhere else!! I have no time to waste!!" Anyway, fortunately, I could buy two tickets even though the seats are pretty bad. Oh well, I don't care because I am not David Matthews Band fan!! I hope Priyada appreciates my great effort to buy their tickets! Too much work for girl.....

Mmmm. I really like blog powered by MovableType. I have been working on to implement movabletype to my log, but I think I need a little more time because I am horrible at hand coding! I think I am depending on dreamweaver too much. I just remembered that Matt was saying he did make his website with hand coding. Mmmm, I think I should ask his help if I cannot really do it by myself. But but, actually I am kinda enjoying re-reading HTML book. I was shocked to realize how much HTML tags I have forgotten!! Well, I was supposed to study for GRE and writing personal statement, but I was just working on the blog stuff all day!! By the way, I was reading the book called "rasen." Rasen means spiral in Japanese. Rasen is the second book of "the ring" trilogy. I read this book six years ago, but I didn't remember the story at all, so I started reading after I got back from Bloomington. I think rasen is more like scientific fiction because in the book, it explains how video tape was made and why people die after they watch the video tape in the scientific way. Mmmmm. I need to read the loop.

I had a job interview at urban outfitters today. I think the interview went well, but I am not sure if I did okay with survey part. After the interview, I had to fill out the survey asking about ethical issues. All questions seemed to be very unreasonable, and I was a little bit confused because there were lots of questions about stealing from the store, saw 25 years-loyal worker stealing, etc etc.. Since I have never stole anything in my life (really!), I just put answered "No" for all me stealing things. However, if they are checking my honesty, never stole anything in my life seems to be very not true! Oh well, I don't know. I wanted to put little memo saying "I don't steal because I am spoiled! my mummy and daddy buy me everything I want!" I was little bit stressed out from this weird survey, but the manger was kinda cute, so I was all happy. But but, I am so sure I won't get hired because I am unemployable. I have an ability to not able to get hired. For some reasons, I really needed to eat cookies, so I bought Chips Ahoy! Chewy cookies because I like chewy cookies. But, the cookies were kinda gross. I was so depressed by these cookies because I had high expectation that these cookies would be good! I should buy cake on the way back to my room!

I figured out having tons of beer in my refrigerator is not a good idea. I feel like I am an alcoholic or something. Also, having other hard liquors in my room isn't good idea either. But keeping diet coke in my refrigerator is a good idea. But, I think getting drunk is kinda good because you never know what you are going to do. But but, eating cookies because I get drunk is not good. Mmmmmm, I think alcohol will kill me someday.

I don't know why, but I woke up 8am in this morning. Ugh. But, I could do stuffs I had to do, so I felt kinda nice. I am getting nervous because GRE is 2 weeks away! I am not ready to take GRE at all. God damnit!! I finally bought Foo Fighters new album and it's pretty goooooood. It also comes with DVD toooooooo. Niiiiiice.
