sat: vball, biohazard 2, dinner

woke up pretty early and went to the vball tournament at our school. we lost the first game but the girls played pretty well. the second game we won, but since we lost the first game, we were unable to advance to the next round. would have to give the mvp to chinami-chan. she had some great digs, passed nails and overall played really smart.

headed out to roppongi, bought the tix for biohazard 2 (resident evil 2: apocalypse) and then met up with tamawa. the movie was surprisingly good. i liked it better than the first one because it took place in a more urban area. my girl sandrine holt was in it, but, my has she aged! i didn't like her character that much either but all good, she got jacked by all the kids! the girl who played jill valentine was dead on. had the whole outfit down to da t. her character was koo too. the special effects were pretty good too in this film. not sure if i liked how it ended and how it sets up for another movie but oh well. another thing to note: i guess it's compulsory to have milla jovovich get naked at the end of each film....

afterwards, headed to ebisu to go try out this new tonkatsu restaurant called kimukatsu. the owner doesn't like regular tonkatsu, so experimented with different ways so that he could eat it and voila, a new kind of tonkatsu was born! unfortunately there was this huge line outside which the owner cut off @ the end. guess we're gonna have to go there another time.

so we went to plan b, sonamu, a korean restaurant, but that was also packed too. then we went to plan c, ninnikuya (not the chain that's all over japan) a garlic restaurant. we had to wait a little bit, so they have this waitin' area/bar/small dinin' area. had a drink there and then got seated. ordered up some: garlic eggplant, garlic baked prawns, avocado & tuna plate, grilled chicken and the famous garlic toast and drank it with a mondavi chardonnay. never had that much garlic in one sittin' before in my life. walked around a bit afterwards and then came back home. stopped off @ chacha to say what's up to some peeps.


sun: lunch in shinjuku, bball in hatagaya & drinks in omotesando

woke up, made some brunch, then headed out to shinjuku to meet up with megumi for a late lunch. was surprised that it was so packed everywhere but i guess it was because it was pourin' rain. finally decided on this pasta place which had a pretty big line. had some duck/mushroom/eggplant pasta and then we headed to a cafe to chill for a bit. megu went to her friend's bday party and i headed out to bball.

bball was koo cuz all the guyz came out: rick, sean and even scotty. scotty has been out for over a year, so it was good to finally see him on the court. there was also this one japanese guy, who must've been almost 2m (about 6'6"/6'7") but he wasn't that strong. had some good games; played good d and dropped alotta dimes.

after bball, headed out to omotesando for drinks with lisa, ryoko and ryoko's friend from high school who's visitin'. it was good to see lisa and ryoko, haven't seen them since jamie and burr were here back in april!!

came home and did tons of work of last minute changes to my roster for my fantasy fball league. finally got went to bed @ around 0130ish.


mon: last day of finals

man, it's been some terrible weather lately. ridin' a bike, with an umbrella while be sore from playin' bball really sucks. luckily it was a rather chill day. all i did was check each classroom durin' the listenin' part of the english final and then corrected 2 classes' tests. lots of the 8th graders didn't do that well...actually they did terrible.

went to teach w/utsumi sensei and we played a jeopardy like game. my questions however were way too tough.

had dinner @ ikko and mama fried up some grubbin' fresh fish from nigata. she also made some gyoza and her latest dish, fried natto gyoza. saiko umai naa!!!

there was this magic show on tv with this japanese magician named maric. he had all sorts of tv shows come to his show. i even saw natsumi-chan when they brought out the 鐚�span style="font-style:italic;">nen b gumi crew. some of the tricks he did was amazin'. but he did show how he did some of his "easier" tricks.


tues: it's still rainin'

ok, it's been rainin' for 3 days straight now. the funny, thing is that typhoon #22 hasn't even got to area yet. since i had elementary school today, i decided to take the train and walk to school. it was a lot farther than i expected but i finally got in but my pants were pretty soaked still.

the kids really loved the game i did. i was surprised to hear that all of them really enjoyed it. it was good to see the battle between the girls and boys from 3-3. they did great. it things like this that make teachin' great.

tabata sensei was kind enough to give me a ride to the station in her altezza!


wed: a beautiful day

wow, it stopped rainin'!!! it finally feels like autumn weather!

durin' vball practice, i miss-hit this one set and my index & middle finger got bent back. i think i strained something, cuz my hand was pretty swollen.

i also somehow pinched a slight nerve in my neck while reachin' for a cushion under a table. man...my body is in terrible shape right now.
