Weird dream about London 2012

Earlier today I had the weirdest dream.

I guess I was a volunteer at the London Olympic Games. I was at the stadium, spectating the competitors from different countries during the opening ceremony. So it was the future. 

Then some person reminded me that I could go home for the day. 

"Alright," I think I said. So I tried to call my mom but realized that I only had an iPad. The iPad wasn't just an ordinary iPad. It was a shapeshifting iPad that disallowed me from even accesses it. It was brown. A brown iPad. For some reason, this whole shapeshifting iPad panicked me, as time flew by. I didn't go home. And then I woke up. 

___________

Wasn't I in London? How in the world was I to go home from there? I thought when I was having a sip of orange juice. And why have a dream about the games? Odd.

Now where is Freud?

Bubble Tea

今日スーパーバイザーがバブル茶を買ってくれた。なつかしぃ。。最後飲んだのはすごい子供のころだった。Disney World のEpcot Center ではじめてのんだんだ。だが、このバブル茶飲んだのは僕の２回目。すくね？（＾＾

Today my supervisor bought me some good ol' Bubble Tea. The last time I had this was years ago, when I was at Epcot Center in Disney World. It was good.

Spent yet another day at the campaign office, delivering stuff n all. Not so much things worth mentioning. There was rain, and it was pouring down all day.

But you know what really kind of frustrates me? And it's nobody's fault, but I'm just so damned about it. The time I usually leave is when most of the interns come in. And to be honest, it's more fun being with them than being one of the only interns at the office, staring at a wall. Don't get me wrong; there is nothing wrong working with my office supervisors, but it can be nice if there were some more interns my age.

Y'all gettin' my drift?

Anyway, I have to go to school early in the morning tomorrow for the seminar... boy am I excited. I am so done with school.

Prom

What's missing in this picture?

Modern Family

Yeah I don't think I am going to do any work this whole week, or month.

I cannot stop watching Modern Family.

The shows hilarious, and is perfect to watch on any given day. Every episode is packed with humor and wit, and I think that's what comedy is all about! My mom owns the first two seasons, and I plan to watch all of it eventually. Yeah, I know I am pretty behind but come on, I was busy the time the episodes aired on television!

Allergies

Today's pollen level is probably set to max high. I had watery eyes, a runny nose, and kept on sneezing every other second outside. Others also were sneezing a lot. I took some allergy medicines but it still didn't do any good. Was it because I was in the park most of the time? Yeah probably... that's where most of the trees are... damn.

Regardless, I spent the majority of my day today outside, even managing to run the Japan Run!

Take that allergies! (blows nose).

Senior PROMblems

A majority of high school seniors have heard of Senior Prom, a formal dance that takes place right before the end of their high school careers, which is right about... NOW. Some have already had their prom, and some still haven't. My school still hasn't had it yet, but it is approaching very, VERY soon; sooner than I had ever expected it to be. I just got my suit, my shirt, and my polished shoes. Everything looks pretty okay but is there anything that I'm missing? Hmm, lemme see...

A prom date.

Yep. That's it. All those words y'all have heard about me being a ladies man is slowly losing its meaning. I feel that everything is rushed. I haven't even been notified of the date until like some weeks ago. I literally just got my stuff, and I haven't a clue who I am taking.

But this is supposed to be the moment where seniors enjoy themselves one last time as high school students. I know I know. I can't let this major event just slip away from my memories. Proms should last forever, in a way, and should be one of the most memorable moments in high school. I've seen them all in movies, and lemme tell you they were all memorable. It's a heartwarming event... and I'm so close.

While I know that this may not be the main factor to my difficulties in settling with prom, I think part of it has to do with the fact that I go to a rather small school. I believe, still, that there are more advantages about my school rather than the disadvantages-- I've been to this school for all my life!-- but there are some flaws that I think I should mention by now.The disadvantage of going to a small school is the fact that everything is already predetermined, or, in more precise terms, has a higher tendency to become predetermined.This guy is friends with this person so obviously they'd go together. And this guy is best friends with this person so they'll go definitely. And nearly EVERYONE would know. And when I mean everyone, I mean the entire high school. Freshman, sophomore, junior, whatever. In my school, that doesn't matter. Everything is jumbled together. That's why a freshmen is friends with all the seniors on Facebook. Everyone has an idea of who each person is so well that it would be awkward if things go wrong or lead to an interesting path even the slightest bit. Everything is so cozy and scrunched together if you know what I mean. There's no openness, a place to change the way you are. Once you are that kind of person, you stay that kind of person, and you are thought to be that kind of person. It's hard to change yourself in that kind of environment. Sick of the bunch of people in school? You can't hang out with another bunch since everyone is connected and will somehow eventually revolve around the same people.

There's nothing completely wrong with that. I love the small little environment, and I think it's a great way to build lasting, personal friendships, but I feel that sometimes, in some circumstances, it can get a little off hand.

So, why don't you ask someone that doesn't go to your school? Y'all would say.

But it isn't that easy. The distance of where they live is too far away.

"Just ask already!" my grandmother said. "It's easy as renting a car."

But it's easier being said than done. But I am going no matter what, regardless if I don't go with any girl.

Japan Run

This morning I ran the Japan Run alongside thousands of runners! It was my first time participating in a major marathon.　4 miles, and I finished in around 34 minutes.While I was running I felt like one of those professional runners. There were water stands and mile markers, and announcers, and also, the people cheering on near the finish line. It was niceee. It felt great to be a part of the run. To run for Japan... and also my mom. Happy Mother's Day.

今朝ジャパンランに参加しました。４マイルズ。走る人がい〜っぱい、確実に８０００くらい。そして３４ぷんくらいにゴールした。最後にいっぱい応援してくれた人たちもすごい良かった。日本の為に、そして、お母さんの為にも。Happy Mother's Day.

Japanese melon pan vs. Chinese melon pan

The real deal-- Japanese melon pan vs. Chinese melon pan.

Judging from its appearance, the Chinese melon pan looks sunburned and the Japanese melon pan looks pale. In the Chinese one, there is a hint of coconut flavor. But based on what I have eaten, and although I have all the respect for the Chinese melon pan, I have to say that I like the Japanese one better just because I've been eating it for a long time. And again, it does depend on the bakery, but just focusing on these two, I like the Japanese melon pan.

こちらです、皆さん：日本メロンパンｖｓ。中国メロンパン。
まぁ、みるとなんか中国のほうがもっとひにやけてる感じがするが。。。
そしてこの中国の中にはちょっとココナッツの味が入ってます。でもね、

正直に言うと。。。

中国メロンパン、わるくはないけど、^^;

やっぱ日本のメロンパンのほうがいいかなぁ～作ってるところにもよるけどこのふたつ比較とやっぱ日本のほうがね、いつも食べてるからなんとなくいい。

おいしい食品

今日はストリートフェアでとてもおいしいメキシコ食品を食ったぜっ！！ナッチョとチキンとチーズ。
ローラのまねしよう。。。

と～ってもおいしかったよ～～んんんっ！！＾０＾ｖ

ok

Super Moon tonight?

Apparently there is a super moon tonight. The media said that it would be more brighter and slightly larger than normal, the exact calculations I forget. Right about the now, though, is the best time to spectate the sky, but I'm kind of lazy to do that. Unfortunately, I can't see it from my window. Bummer. Oh well.

数え方の疑問

バナナが「一本」か「ひとつ」あります。技術的にどっちなの？

Another day at the office

The title basically says it all. I've spent another day while watching the rain pour down and eating delicious snacks.

今日はまた一日選挙事務所で働いた。その間この中国のおやつをかなり食ってしまった。
