I realized I haven`t updated
my blog in a while.
It`s not that I haven`t been doing anything.
I have actually been pretty active:
going to a gym 4 days a week,
still doing the same job,
hanging out with friends,
kidnapping a cat from downstairs and playing with him
(only when he can’t go back inside his home
because he is a naughty cat which comes back
home after his master falls asleep, tsk tsk.)

I guess the problem about me not updating my blog
is that I haven’t been taking
many photos recently
and I don’t really like a blog entry
without photos…
but anyways, I feel like I should write about today
because I did something that is
very very JAPANESE…
Tada!!
Do you know this?
It’s called puri-kura (Print club)
and it has been popular since I was about 9 or something.
People used to wait in line for like 6 hours
to get one photo-sticker taken at the booth
but now, the machine isn’t as popular
as it was before.
Well, let me say it right:
it is popular still but there are
abundant of these machines all over the place.
Oh boy, the technology that is
involved in this machine has improved
like thousand-cookie-times more.
When I was little, there was only one shape of sticker
and you only got to pick one frame and that was it.
Now, you can decide the number of the frames
and you can draw on the sticker etc…

Trading the puri-kura stickers
with friends
was such a huge thing among us.
I still have the album with
all the stickers from back then.
(I get embarrassed seeing those. They all look pretty awful.)

Anyways, I took puri-kura for the first time
in the last 2.5 years or so.
The girl on my right is Mallory
who just arrived in Tokyo last night.
Oh man, I can’t believe how energetic
you were after being on a plane
for 13 hours and waking up at 7 AM this morning.
I guess the power of kawaii-ness
works as much as Redbull does.
｡.｡:+* ﾟ ﾟﾟ *+:｡.｡:+* ﾟ ﾟﾟ *+:｡.｡.｡:+* ﾟ ﾟﾟ
Hm, what else should I say?
I don’t want to conclude the entry of today
with a line
‘I had such a fun day’
even though had a so much fun
re-exploring Harajuku-Shibuya area with Mallory.
｡.｡:+* ﾟ ﾟﾟ *+:｡.｡:+* ﾟ ﾟﾟ *+:｡.｡.｡:+* ﾟ ﾟﾟ
I guess, instead, I will say
…my brain is now flooded with all the cheerful colors.
Oh, and also…
Mallory wants to be in Japan
and I want to be in NY.
I wonder if there is any good trick
we could use to fulfill both of our wish.
Hmm.
