Happy New Year! Yappiee!! Last night, I cerebrated new year at Melissa's house. I was pretty drunk when I got there because I was drinking all day yesterday. I didn't have to drink, but, I couldn't let her down, so I drank more! Melissa took me her friend's house and showed me diabetic cat! He was the biggest cat I have ever met! I wondered how he got so fat! I think this year is going to be significant year for me because I may have to go back to Japan if I don't get accepted from any schools. Oh well, I hope I don't have to go back to Japan!

Happy second day of new year! I was gonna go out and look for the gym I can join, but it was really cold today. So, I just stayed my lovely room and did nothing. Oooooh. But, that's okay because I am japanese. In Japan, we are supposed to do nothing in the first three days of January. Well, maybe I will do something tomorrow.

Ooooooooooooh! I finally joined in the gym!! Yapppieee!! When I was in Bloomington, I went to the gym every single day, but after I moved to Chicago, I haven't worked out at all which was very very very bad! I did check all gyms near my apartment. I was gonna join in the gym where Melissa works at, but that gym doesn't have pool. Since I love swimming (well, one of few sports I can do), I was looking for the gym which has pool. I actually don't like Bally Total Fitness club for some reasons, but the Bally is the only gym which has pool. So, I decided to join in Bally! Actually, Bally isn't that bad after all. My membership includes 6 sessions with personal trainer per month, so I am pretty excited about that! I think I can finally be a big boy like Doug!

Last night, I went to see the Lord of the Ring: Two Towers with my friends. The movie was great. I think I like Two Towers better than Fellowship of the Ring. But but, it was kinda long movie. After the movie was finished, we all exhausted because movie started from 9:30pm and finished 12:30am.....ouch. I think "nice" is out, and "my precious" is in! Although I was so tired in this morning, I went to the gym to work out. I went there around 11am, but the gym was already packed!! Mmmmmmm. It was saturday and 11am, who wants to work out??

Tired. I am tired like a mug. I think I worked out too much past couple days because my entire body hurts pretty bad. I wanted to go to the gym today, but I decided to not go. I hope this pain goes away when I wake up tomorrow!!!!

According to AmIAnnoying.com, Martha Stewart was the most annoying person in 2002. I guess it kinda makes sense! But, for me, I gotta go with Christopher Lowell because I hate him so much. He is the most typical portrait of gay man!! By the way, I finally bought comforter at IKEA yesterday and I am very happy with it. Melissa and I stopped by Japanese grocery store to get something to eat before we headed to the mall. We were very excited to check all junk food section at the store because Japanese junk food is the best junk food in the world! Of course, I did work out like a mug today to burn all calories I consumed yesterday!!

New Apple Powerbook G4 is sooooooo cute. 17inch monitor is just awesome. But, as anti Apple geek, I will not fall to Apple even though OSX looks very good, even though how great Final Cut Pro is!! No, I won't fall to Apple!! Say no to Apple!! I wasn't anti Apple until I took computer art class. That class was fun class, but I hated to work on G4 so much because G4 just kept crushing like a mug every time I opened or working on large file!! Oh oh, I was kinda surprised that Apple brought new web browser. But, I guess it kinda makes sense because Apple always wants to establish its own "Apple" brand. I wonder if Microsoft will still develop software for Mac. By the way, I am really thinking to buy Adobe Photoshop Album. I have so many pictures in my PC and they are all unorganized.....aaaaahh!! But if I buy Photoshop Album, I will be able to organize them!!

La la~. I finally finished making archive section for my logs!! Ooooooh, I am so happy. So, now you can go back to my old logs!! Well, you don't have to read back, but, I think you should read all my logs!! I was reading old logs while I was working on archiving and I noticed that I am lousy English writer!! Well, that's okay, because I am, indeed, japanese!!

Today, I had very first session with my personal trainer at the gym. I was pretty excited because I have never had one before. I think working out with trainer is a great idea because I cannot cheat!! After we did about 30 ~ 40 mins work out, my body was hurting like a mug!! Then, he helped me to stretch my body, and I realized that how inflexible my body is, especially my shoulders!!! Working with personal trainer is awesome!

Mmmm. I just cannot make thing work. I am making photo album with FlashMX, but I cannot make photo album what I want to be. Mmmmmm. It is really interesting that FlashMX can show jpeg files without importing to flash file. I still have so many things to learn about FlashMX and DreamweaverMX. Mmmmmm, interesting. By the way, my body is awfully hurting!! I didn't wanna go to the gym today, but since I ate too much last night, I had to go. Of course, the gym was packed with people!! I think I was there only an hour because I felt dizzy and my butt was hurting like a mug! Oh well.

I though I was gonna die when I was working out today! Working out with trainer is good, but also deadly too! I was working on the photo album over the weekend, but couldn't really make work. Matt showed me how he did it on his site, but I need to really look at the code. By the way Matt's hard drive kinda crashed yesterday, and we went to Bestbuy to get new one. I really hope he can recover his data in his old hard drive! I re-learned importance of backing up!!

Traveling, traveeeeling!! Yaaaay!! As I expected, I thought I was gonna die at the gym today, but I didn't die, soI guess that's good. I felt really bad after I had a bottle of wine, a big bowl of pasta, and many scoops of ice creams!! What the hell am I doing??? I am supposed to eat healthy, so I can get 6-packs!! I will be good in this weekend even though I am going to Bloomington. I am not going to have milk shake at jiffy treat!!!

Dear Matt, sorry I didn't recognize your voice!!

Over the tooooop!! Yaaaaay, I am back to Chicago!! I was in Bloomington over the weekend and came back last night. It was really really great to see Ryan, Andrew, Doug, and others, but I was so ready to come back here because every night in Bloomington, I was freezed!! Also, I was staying at the house which is supposed to be 2 bed room house, but 4 people are living!! Aaaaaaaaaaah!! I just hate their house!! there was a party on sat night for Pat because he is leaving to turkey for a month. I was trying to get drunk, but I wasn't really drunk. But, other drunk people were trying to get me drunk, so I was pretending to be drunk!! How saaaad!! I realized that I am too old for house "keg" party!! After I got back to Chicago, I was soooooo happy because I finally got to sleep in my bed!!While I was in Bloomington, I even though about getting a room at local hotel, so I can sleep! But, of course, I didn't do it because I knew Ryan was taking good care of me and did the best he could do!! He even went shoping with me!! We got pair of jeans for him!! Yeah!

It was so cold today. I had an appointment with my trainer in this afternoon, so I had to go outside!! Noooooooo!! I was trying to find my knit cap, but I think I lost it! Nooooooooooo!!! I thought my ears will fall off when I was walking on the street! Noooooooooo!!! I haven't been to the gym for a week, so it was very very hard to keep up with trainer! Noooooooooo!! My "no"ish day.

It's Friday! It's Super bowl weekend! It's beer time!! Yaaaaaay!! Mmmm. Last night, I went to Urban at Evanston to pick Priyada up. I also wanted to buy knit cap because I lost my old cap. She told me people at the store thought I am her boyfriend! Aaaaaaah!! I guess I still have it!! Since it was too cold to go outside, we just stayed inside and got drunk. I wasn't really thinking about an appointment with my trainer from 11am in this morning, so I just kept drinking! It was sooooooo hard for me to get up and work out in this morning because I went to the bed around 4am last night! Oh well, life is hard. After I got back from the gym, we went for the lunch and ended up with going shopping in downtown! I wanted to buy some clothes, but I couldn't really find stuff I wanted to buy. It was kinda sucks that I was really tired from shopping, but I really couldn't buy. It was cold, I was in pain from working out, and we walked alot, but I couldn't find anything!! Poor me.

I tried. But, I went shopping today! Since I didn't want to feel guilty to shop by myself, I took Priyada with me! We went to Woodfield mall, and I bought pair of pants and sweater (again!). I am pretty sure my dad won't be happy with it, but oh well, who cares. We stopped by at Sam's club because I wanted to get beer for tomorrow. When we were loading beer and other stuff, I noticed that someone left 48-pack of water in the cart! I think someone forgot to load them. Sicne they were left alone, we thought it would be nice thing to do to take them with us! Sooooo, I took half pack and Priyada took half pack! Free water....yaaay! Anyway, I think I am not gonna drink today because I wanna drink tomorrow!! Yaay!

Super Bowl Sunday! Yaay! I went to Melissa&Matt's house to watch the game. Matt helped me to transport beer to their house because I had a case of beer and some snacks for the game. I was excited to see the game, but I was disappointed by the game because Tampa Bay dominated the game! I wanted to see some drama, but there was no such a thing! I liked the half show though (Sting and No Doubt part). I was also disappointed by the super bowl ads too! I thought the pepsi ad was pretty bad to compare to last year's ad. I was trying to get drunk, but I just couldn't let myself to get drunk. Oh well, Melissa was all drunk, so it was fun.

I was so mad when I got mail from Banana Republic today. They send me two $15 reward cards since I spend more than $350 on my BR card. Damnit! I just shopped at Banana Republic over the weekend! I really really wish they got here before I shopped at Banana Republic on Saturday! Since I got total $30 reward, I went to Banana Republic website and tried to buy some stuff. But, but, since I pretty much have everything I need right now, I couldn't find anything I want to buy! The life is soooo hard!! Matt emailed me some pictures and avi clips from last night and they are so funny. Now I know the feeling being taken pictures without any notices! It SUCKS!

Let's make lembas!! My precious!!

I couldn't sleep well last night. Snow plow truck was removing snow in the back of building 3am in the morning, and it was sooooooo noisy! I was so pissed and didn't understand at all why they have to start removing snow in the 3am in the morning! I do appreciate all hard working people, but not 3am!! By the way, I decided to pay extra money to continue working with trainer at the gym. I know I don't need personal trainer to work out, but I really really reaaaallllly change my body, and I don't think I can do that by myself. I feel awful about paying more money, but I am also sooooo excited! By April 29th, I will be new confusedgeek!! Yaay!

I feel like a pig! My trainer advised me I should eat 3000 calories a day in order to gain weight because I have very high metabolism. Well, it's not easy especially because I don't eat meat! Soooo, I bought huge jar of nuts for snack. Well, nuts are not good because I don't like nuts! Also, nuts made me really full and I couldn't eat anything for dinner because I was soooooo full!! I gotta buy protein shake!
