Small World

So last night, I was subbing the anime. I got bit tired, so I was taking some break and check some e-mail. In all the junk mail and odd mails, I found one mail from my friend, who live in Japan (way far from there my family lives in Japan). She give me some info on what's going on in Jpop and entertainment stuff in Japan.

Anyways, she told me one artist make other single featuring other artist. So, I check it it out the Music Video! So I start watching that MV... And one part catch my eyes. Here's the pic

And I was like. "I know, I've seen that somewhere before..." Thinking, thinking, and did more thinking. I just couldn't figure out where I saw that.

While I was getting meltdown, my friend text me to see what's up.... And look what I found!

This thing is called チュラ玉 (Chura Dama), word "Chura" in Okinawan it means "Pretty" and word "Dama" is Japanese "Ball", so total "Pretty Ball" there are 12 different colors of ChuraDama and it goes by birth month. Also, word Chura have been used in anime before too. You can find the ChuraDama only in Okinawa, Japan. No other place in Japan has it! Mine is July and lucky enough to get my fav color RED!

Anyways, I thought that was pretty small world, so write a blog about it. LOL Anyone had those kind of thing before?

Ponyo?

Yeah~~~~! Weekend has come! Finally, finally! My car's front windshield got replace with new one and it looks nice now, but my wallet aren't looking nice. LOL

Anyways, recently my friend's friend (gotta love those connection) ask me to sub a anime for them..... Not only subbing 25 mins long anime.... BUT whole 1hr 40mins long anime!!! So they sent me the movie and look at the time "Gake no Ue no Ponyo". Hm.... I heard that some where. So just check in the Wiki (gotta love Wiki) and it's a another Ghibli Studio anime! I wanted to watch this anime, so it worked out for me.

BUT no subber's has sub this anime yet? That's really strange. Ghibli is one of the famous anime studio, so I would of expected to see some subbing ASAP... But I guess now.

It's kinda nice that I'll get paid to sub. I highly doubt that, it's ain't gonna be any big bones, but it'll be nice gas money. LOL

So far, I've finished subbing 30mins long. I still have 1hr 10mins and they ask me to finish it by next weekend. Man, they sure know how to work a lazy man. LOL

Anyways, wish me a luck!

Who da freak?

So, I was surfing around the web and I thought to check out friend's blog site..... And found this pic.....



















Honestly, who's this? LMAO!
Yes, most of you know him by LONG HAIR.
That's my lil bro Nozomu. He use to have long hair like this.














Pretty amazing how ppl look different just by hair style.

Fried Rice?

K, this one is bit high protein for lady's so when you make it, just be careful! For guys that work-out, it's natural protein and it's way cheaper than those powder proteins.

Lil background of this dinner is, I made this dinner while back when I was into weight lifting with my friends. I went to friend's house to hang out. We were hanging out til pretty late and we were getting hungry. So I desided to offer to cook something. When I check his frig, there were dried beacon (use in salad), eggs, ham, rice, and few other crazy stuff (I don't wanna remember). That time, we both needed high proteins..... So I made this!

It's pretty simple to make
Level of Hardness: Easy
Ingredient:
2 Eggs
1 bowl of cooked Rice
Dried Beacon
3 slice of Ham
Dried Onion powder
few salt, pepper, garlic

Pretty much it's same concept as making a fried rice. Make sure to put the rice first! From there, put other ingredients!!! After 15 mins....

The reason why I made this high protein dinner was today when I was thinking about what to make for dinner, I saw this dried beacon bag (which I bought few weeks ago) in there and remind me that dinner! So I made this.

K, here's the result!

Alright! As I have promised in last blog that, I'll show you how to clean your jewelries without expensive stuff! K, here are my few collections that I'll be cleaning.



Fossil Stainless Steel Watch
Guess Stainless Steel Watch
Giorgio Armani Stainless Steel & Silver Watch
SilverWolf Silver Ring
Hawaiian Design Silver Ring
Tungsten Carbide Ring
24K Gold Cat's Eye Ring
Silver Ring on Silver Necklace

K, these are stuff you need.



Regular Dish soap
Baking Soda
2 Cups
Tooth Brush
Paper Towel

Now, before start. Let me write the safety blah blah. If gets into your eyes, wash it off with cold water. If you eat the dish soap or baking soda lil bit. You ain't gonna die, but gonna have massive pain in your stomach so I wouldn't recommend eating them. And more blah blah.... So don't be dumb now, K. Other blah blah would be your items safety. Now, it's your own risk to do this.

K, done with all the blah blah, let's start.

Step 1: Prep 1
Put a 1~2 table spoon of Baking Soda in the one of the cup with mild hot water. Hot water doesn't need to be REALLY hot! Hot enough, but not to burn your hand. Put in your jewelries inside the cup. Keep it in there for about 30~45 sec (less than 1 min).

NOTE! If you're putting a watch in there, make sure watch is water proof. If not, just put it to the side like I did with Armani Watch.



Step 2: Prep 2
Put about 1 table spoon of Baking Soda and Dish Soap in your hand and mix it around with Tooth Brush.



When you finish mixing. It's become Goo-ish thing or like tooth paste looking. If you need to add more Baking Soda or Dish Soap, then do so. It should look as in below.



Step 3: Start Cleaning
After making that Goo, pull out one of the jewelry and start cleaning by using the Tooth Brush.





NOTE! That Goo should last you to clean 4~7 jewelries, but if it ran out, make it again. Also, Tooth Brush is extra fine can help clean out all the deep dirts inside.

Step 4: Clean Cup
After you've finish brushing & cleaning them, put it in the another cup that is full more warm water. Same thing, if the watch isn't water proof, put it next to it.



Note! You can see from the pic below, how dirty is the water got in the first cup. It's so gross~~!



....Oh Yeah! Step 5: Wash it off
K, wash your hands and start wash off all the jewelries using warm water. While washing it off, use Tooth Brush again to go more deeper inside.

Note! For watch that isn't water proof, I still wash it off with warm water. If you do it quickly, it should be okay. But that's just my watch anyways.

What step was it?... Step... 6!: Dry 'em off with Towel
After washing them off, you can put them on top of Paper Towel. I like to use Paper Towel cuz it can suck more water faster than regular towel, but it's your choice.



Note! Leave it there to air dry is okay, but make sure to change the Paper Towel to dry one. I like to air dry it for bit and start drying them off one by one with Paper Towel.

Final Step: Check!
Make sure all the jewelries are dry. If not, go back and do the last step. K, here's the my jeweleries look like after cleaning them.





Note! If you don't like cleaning jewelries, I would recommend buying Tungsten Carbide jewelries. Why? Cuz, Tungsten Carbide is one of Hardest Metal in the world. NASA use this metal, cuz it's high strength to Cold and Heat. It said that you can drop the Tungsten Ring from Space to Earth and the Ring will keep it's shape whole time. Also it doesn't have Cobolt in there to cause rashes or make your finger green. So if you have allergies to silver or gold don't need to worry, it's allergy free! But Price isn't cheap to give you heads up. Mine cost me $400. They run around $300~$1,200. Tungsten Carbide ring looks like...




Well, hope it help you guys out. This cleaning is for all crystal and metal cleaning. So Diamond, Sapphire, Rubies, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Stainless Steel, you name it! It won't hurt your precious crystals. I've already tried it with my step-father's wedding ring (which is 5 Diamonds, Platinum band with 24k White Gold). All those jewelries cleaning took me, less than 20 mins. So it's simple, cheap, and fast! I would highly recommend from doing one ring first as test and if it works for you, great! Do another jewelries.

Feed me back if you tried it and it worked! Also, if you tell someone about this, make sure to credit me (just lil bit). I learn this from one of old, old lady in Hawaii (I think she was around early 90's when I met her). It's her ancient secret trick. j/k. Joke on Ancient Secret Trick, but I did learn from old lady in Hawaii!

Hope all goes well on cleaning the jewelries.

Caramelldansen~~~!

I got so hooked into this Caramelldansen song!!!!
Curse you Alan~!
But at the same time, it's pretty nice song and I like it a lot. (T-T)

Anyways, as for my life.
We've started playing soccer every Friday 6:30ish @ Liberty park. Last Friday was our first meet up to play and thank you all the ppl that came and play. I hope everyone's body is doing good. Cuz, my body ain't going good... I have massive muscle-etch~~~! I had hard time walking yesterday! Even those thing, I'll sure, play every Friday!

Bit early ID4

I've been bit busy with a lot of things has happened around here. So, let's break it down into 2 topics shell we?

1. Tuning

In last post, I've talk about going into racing world. That progress is going somewhat good. Buying parts that I need to pass the safety and etc. By all means, parts aren't cheap at all. Look it this way. For one racing seat, I'm looking around $800~$1,500! Just saving some lunch money to buy parts I need. Sadly, grand total of money, I'll be expecting to spend to prep my car is $2,500~$5,000 just for basic stuff. That doesn't include entering fee, register fee, and etc that I'll be seeing around.....

It's bit head-etch thinking about, but at the same time I am excited about it.

2. Soccer

Every year, our work place has played soccer in summer. Now, it's starting again this year..... Well, it's going to start next friday. Yeah~! But at the same time... Nay~! Yeah cuz, I love playing any sports. Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, Football, Basketball, Golf, volleyball, you name it I can play it (I can play, but not the greatest). I love working my body. Now, I feel great playing sports..... But I don't feel great next day for sure! Last year, my whole body's muscle was in pain, I thought I rather die. LOL

Well, I'll try not to over do it this year.

Down the future.....

So, been age 25 didn't change my mental age (which is like 18). Which isn't not too bad, in my opinion. BUT for parents, wasn't a good thing. So received long, long, LONG lecture about what I want to do in future.

My biggest hobby is automotive (sorry, not anime). My father's side is all automotive-holic. Including my father, who use to race in Wangan Tokyo, Japan with his Skyline GT-R. Uncle use to be pro motorcycle rider in Japan. Sadly, I have all those ppl's blood in me. I, myself have urge to race in circuit with tuned cars. BUT automotive world have more risk than just sitting in the office. So, I have decide to go into graphic designing world..... and let go of racing world, but I guess, my parents gave, up and told me "If you want to go into this kind of world, why not try?"

By all means, I want to go into this automotive world... But I can't gun-start from begin, so try few auto races this year to see it this world fit my life more.

That's right~~~!

I finally got back my PC~~~! Yes, I didn't have my pc for about 3 weeks! Whatta nightmare! I couldn't watch porn.... I mean anime. j/k

But really, I had to use my parent's PC and that was slow! But now, my pc is fast that, it's just blink of an eye! ah...... I'm glad that warranty is still works

Deadly heat!

Summer is here~~~~! Finally, long waited summer is here! At the same time, this deadly heat is here too! Just recently, there aren't any cloud over the head, so sun is roasting my body is chicken!

BUT! This ain't stopping me from play soccer~! That's right! You heard it correct! Prob gonna start playing soccer again! By then hopefully cloud is over us and have good time.

Short Temper~~~!

I am usually a calm, easy going person..... BUT, just one sentence can change that to Short Temper guy! Why? Good Q? Not sure myself too. I'm just like that. (LOL)

So, this is how it went, last night I was play Metal Gear Solid 4 'til 4 in the morning (Yes, it's pretty awesome). Around 8 in the morning, my mom woke me up to ask me to help her find a father's day gift. Sadly, I didn't wake up 'til 10:30-ish, but after that, I got ready without complaining, and drove around to help find the gift. While I was getting out of parking lot there were little bit of dip that need to drive carefully. I thought, I stop before the dip, but I didn't and scratched under the car. All those time, it was fine, but when mom said this sentence it was over, I just snap!

"Are you stupid? See you just scratched the car."

This was the line, no body can cross! I know, more than anyone around (here) about my car! I know where it scratched and how painful to me to hear that sound, but it doesn't mean other person can insult me about it. Specially, they don't know jack crap about my car or car in general! Words like "Ouch" or "That's sucks" or "Hope it's okay" is fine by me, but telling me "Are you stupid" is way over the line!

Result was ASAP drop her home (sorry bacons I went over 15~20 over) and not even a word with in the time (well only took about 5 mins to get home).

So when you're riding with me, I wouldn't recommend saying some thing about my car or my driving.

New Update

So, some of you know that I was visiting my family in Japan, whole May. Thanks for all your comments about missing me.

Here's some update on what's going on with my life.

1 - My Laptop has die

Yes, you read it correctly. While I was watching a movie in my laptop..... All suddenly, it just shuts down on me. I thought, maybe I didn't plug my ac. So I check my cored to see if that was the case..... But sadly, my laptop didn't turn on again.

Good news is I still have warrenty, so they ask me to ship it back to them, and they'll try to fix it.

Bad news is, I ain't gonna have my laptop for 2 weeks or so.

2 - GT Live Tour

Last year, while I was walking from SLCC parking lot, I saw a poster with cool cars on it. It was event poster talking about car maniac shows that going to have at the Miller Track. So that day, I went to with few of my friends.... And that was really fun. Saw some cool drifting cars, track racing for beginner to pros, few cars on fire (LOL) and talk with Pro-Drivers. It was worth every penny I spent there (I really didn't spent much money).

So, my plan is to go this year too! I'm still debating to go both day or just one day. One day is $25, but both day is $40 (save myself $10). I hope it's gonna be fun like last year.

3 - Car Parts

Summer is right around the corner... Or is it already Summer?

Recently I have saving up some money to use to upgrade some parts for my car. Paying Loan, Auto Insurence, Bills, and etc. I was saving up little by little money for my car..... Finally, I got some decent amount of money saved up to use for my car!

So I start buying it online and when I realized it, my whole money was used up in matter of hour! By all means, I wasn't been dum and spending the money unwisely, but just parts are expensive! Ha..... I have sad feeling of spending huge amount of money in matter of hour, but at the same time, I am excited to see all those parts put it into my car.

Well, I'll do some more updates later~~~

Final Week

Due to Final Test, Final Papers are due this week. I'm really busy~~~! So I'll try to post more when I'm done with school!

Day of Carpenter~~

So, some of you know that my house got some extensions. As result is Less fun, more work T-T. By all means, I love doing carpenter works...... But Carrying around over 30 sheet-rocks isn't something I call "FUN".
From 10am~6pm, cutting, nailing, breaking, lifting, turning, bending, and screaming here and there. I'm dead beat! I still have papers I need to do for college. And 3 more tests I need to take before monday~~~! (Kill me).

Outline is done

So like I said while back on the blog. I was planning to draw my dream. K, I'm half way done with my story, so next plan is to start drawing charas. So far, there are 7 basic characters will be coming out. I'll prob gonna make another blog area to all the managa series pic and all other info! But as for now I gonna blog about it here! Wish me luck for good Manga

Next Haircut plan!

May is right around the corner~~~! That means I gonna cut my hair. Some friend say "Yeah, look better with short hair." But some say "Why you gonna cut your hair? You look good with long hair."This debate is going on for more than year now.....

But it doesn't matter who say short is better or long is better! Cuz it's MY HAIR and I gonna do what ever I want (to certain level). Now my plan for this summer is to have it short hair! Sadly, I had same short hairstyle for over 8 years! By all means I don't mind having same short hair again.... But I want something new short hairstyle! So far, I found one style I like.



So this is Gackt! Japanese Singer, and he's bit weird. But he has always had cool clothes and hairstyle. One of them is this. It's bit short IMO, but I think, it looks good. Specially I like the top part of the hair. It's spike up, but in casual way. Over all it's not short enough to be buzzed, but short enough to spike it up.

Well, this is one of the haircut I want to do..... Not 100% sure, I'm going to, but if there isn't any good ones come up by end of April, I'll be going with this haircut.

Cactus Battle!

FYI to all my friends. I'm not good at keeping the plant alive.... I've killed 3 cactuses before, but my good friend want me to kill another cactus. (LOL) BUT my plan is to keep this cactus alive til Jenny's Cactus is dried up like raisin !

Let's see who win this battle.....

New Manga!

So, recently I haven't drawn any manga. Due to work, school, and specially my laziness (LOL). But recently, I have this dream over and over again. Like last manga, it felt somewhat realistic and have strong impression, so I couldn't forget this dream. But sadly this manga gonna only be in Japanese..... Because this dream is always in Japanese. Sorry no Subbing or Dubbing. But maybe (just maybe) I'll make it into English after I'm done drawing it in Japanese.

As for the Storyline.... I can't say much yet. But title is "ここにいるよ" which means "I am here". Sadly, I only can see 3 people in this story... But if this dream goes on look like it's gonna have 3~4 more people gonna be in there.... But that's still in planning stage, so I can't say 100% sure.

Hopefully, I can finish this story before I go to vacation on May. Finals and Projects @ school is killing, but see what I can do. So, whish me luck....

Let's Work Out~~!

So, some know that, I've started weight lifting again. It's almost 3 weeks, I've weight lifting. Progress is somewhat good, cuz always working out with few friends of mine. BUT today was killer~~! we bump up 5lbs to our weights and that 5lbs is BIG difference! even doing 10 was nightmare. LOL

Spring is right around the corner! That means that summer is on the way. I kinda want to look decent for summer. I don't say "buf-guy" or anything, but good enough that I won't be shame. We'll see how this gonna weight lifting gonna go on (hopefully til end of summer).

Alan dying on the bench....

Me, ready to die....

Black Hair~~~!?!?

Only thing, I can say is "Wow!" and that's pretty much I'm hearing from my friends. LOL I think, last time I had black hair was almost 3 yrs ago! That's pretty long time. I had brown, blond, red, and all other colors. But for change I tried black.

Why did I do black? My hair gonna be cut short around end April, start of May. And my plan is to have my hair black for that. BUT sadly my haird wasn't growning fast enough! So I thought I color myself to make it black. LOL

Over all, I don't mind the black hair, but not too fan of this blue tint in this black. It kinda look like Gothic...

Jewelries~! Bling it!

So, like Sunglasses. Watch is important Bling! Also Buckles, Hat, Bracelet, and Pendent. So Let's start~~!

Watch

1st row (L~R) Elgin, Fossil

2nd row (L~R) Nixon, Lamborghini

And again, yes. You read it correctly. 2nd row right watch is made by Lamborghini. Lamborghini like the High Performace Sports Car company Lamborghini. I just love the simple yet exciting design on this watch. Also you can't for get the Nixon. Nixon is been booming around age of 18~30yrs old. You can tell why. It's pretty awesome!

Other Jewelries

1st row (L~R) Affliction, Armani

2nd row (L~R) BKE, BKE

3rd row (L~R) BKE, Element
Gotta love Armani... I just don't like their price. Because it's "Armani" Silver with Leather bracelet price goup 3 times more than other companies....Yet same time, it's Armani so people buy them.
