First of all, since i'm back in France, i'm always listening to....................Kato Miliyah...........
I used to think "her lyrics are so stupid, wtf!!!" but now it's more like "wakaruuuuuuuu~!!!!!!" hahaha that stupid girl... she's like always depressed in her songs, because of boys, & because nobody understands her...
things like "even if its a lie, tell me that u love me more than her", or "its sad but im glad i met u" or "i pretended i didnt notice but u always block ur cellfone" or "i'll be sad when u'll find someone more important than me" or "why am i here, baby ? why am i living ? painfuuuuuuu~l !!!!!!!!" or "some teachers hated me....they cannot understand me, they dont know anything about me...." things like that...
great.


but i guess i still listen to her because we used to listen to her new album all the time during the mokusho workshop thing...ahhhhh nostalgic....

july 2009





wednesday, departure to Kyoto.

I'm still in Japan, but I'm thinking about who's going to live with me when I come back to France. Because I don't want to live alone.
Anyway, I already fixed the price of the rent, and yesterday I was wondering how much my future share-mate would pay if they are going to live at my place...
So I checked ikea.fr. Because it's the cheapest place, of course. (I mean, with a little bit of design. Because Conforama may be cheaper sometimes but...you know....Conforama !!!)



So, a bed, a mattress, some sheets, pillow, blanket. And, a lamp, a table, a chair and something to store some...things. There's a little closet in the room already so I guess it's no need to buy a closet (unless the person who's going to live with me has TOOONS of clothes)
These would cost 239€, but I guess you can manage to pay less than 200€ with a more simple table and cheaper chair or sheets...



And actually, looking for stuffs on ikea.fr was so much fun, I had to find some things for me too ! Because this is so cheap...


...and you know, when you go to Ikea you always buy things you will not use. Or you buy lots of small things and at the end you pay an O-M-G!-price.
So for me...the things I chose.... I would have to pay something like 330€.....









...i need a job.

pour Manorak : bon, tu donnes pas de nouvelles, j'en conclus que tu viens pas. Au fait, je suis pas loin du Ammara-ventre-plat, WOUHOUHOUHOUHOUUUUUU !!!!



Bonjour mina-san, how are you desu ka ?
I lost something like 3kg recently, and in 5~6months i lost almost 8kg, ARE YOU PROUD OF ME ??????
There's that Tracy Anderson girl on every magazines here in Japan, so I typed her name on Youtube & now i'm doing her exercises every night. My stomach hurts so much but I feel like it's working. well, at least, i want to believe it's working.

Anyway, it's already June now, yesterday was my father's birthday, next week i will do the last ceremony for him, and after that i will really start thinking of something else.

I have only 3months left in Japan, here are the things I (am supposed to) do :
_research
_nishichiba campus project
_learning Japanese
_travel around Japan



2weeks ago, i've been to Kanazawa with Machi & Jo-san. 2days. 30000yen. ouch. but it was fun, i admit it.






So now, i'd like to go to some other cities like Kyoto-Osaka-Nara, Sendai, Aomori, or even Sapporo I don't know, but I...don't have enough money ! hihihi !
And some friends want to climb the Fuji-san, yeah ok it sounds fun but....do you know how much it costs ???? but i guess it's worth it but still, i'm....how do you say in English ? "touching myself" ? in French I would say "j'me tate", right ? in English it's "i'm touching myself" right ???
...ok i just checked on wordreference.com, so i would just say "i'm thinking about it"..... ah...so boring....."i'm touching myself" was much more interesting....


Anyway, the plans for July-August-September :
_Okinawa for 4~5days I guess. Yeah I'm going to Okinawa. Maybe.
_Bob coming ~July15th, few days in Tokyo
_we go to climb MtFuji I guess,
_then go to Kansai area,
_then see that Himeji castle (just take a picture would be enough)(no ? ok we will go inside...),
_go to Hiroshima,
_where's that "floating torii" ? we have to see that. to take a picture.
_then we....i don't know, can we go to Naoshima ? I'd like to see it.
_then go to Kyushu, Fukuoka.
_and finally, ride a boat to BUSAN ! And from Busan to Seoul, I don't know, Bob knows better than me.
_And then visiting Seoul in August, and going back to Tokyo hum...i don't know how, but I guess it will be by plane. So, if everything's going well, i will be back in Tokyo around Aug.15th.
_And mokushojuku.
_And back to France.

Ahhhh I don't know what to do in France...

um...i'm doing nothing special during golden week.
i have to work on that ausmip pamphlet. ok, only 2pages that i have to make, but i cannot work at wome, i always play at that katamari damacy game...
oh, but tomorrow i'm supposed to go to a picnic.
and, on the 6th, i'm going to ando sensei's place.

i developed some films the other day.



sensei, can you buy my teiki for me ?

well, i cannot write in this blog everyday because....i have nothing to say.
So, now that I have things to say (and time to kill), i'm gonna write, again.


random things :
_yesterday that Tomoki guy (someone who walked with me from Ooimachi to Nishiooi at 2am) told me "it's not pink, it's "sakura iro". magenta10. because you put 10% of magenta into white color. or maybe 5...".
something like this.

_yesterday Akira organized some photoshooting session with Sophie Kaoru & me. It was the 1st time for me, and fortunately I got a very big red spot on the face. Wonderful. And he used color films. Brilliant.
But anyway, the pictures were cool actually. Kaoru&Sophie are very photogenic.
And we were at the river. I thought it was really Japanese. The river, some industrial sites around, the collective housings, and the train.
Well, it's not THAT Japanese, but I already saw that kind of scenery somewhere, in some Japanese movies or dramas.
When you're a tourist, I guess this is not the kind of place you would visit. I'm happy to be able to see that side of Japan.

_yesterday I ate agesoba. My father used to eat that all the time. I felt kinda nostalgic & I asked some agesoba.
It wasnt good. It wasnt as good as in France. Well, even in France it's not good. I never liked that dish anyway.
The eggplants yesterday were really the best.

_and yesterday I was able to talk a little bit. I was happy.
Even that stupid Tomoki, he made me feel happy.
"happy" sounds a little bit stupid. ... well, it's not like i'm talking seriously anyway.

_oh damn, i have some films to develop.
...........6pm now ? too late. i'll do it tomorrow.
