日本！！

so i was browsing through Google Maps the other day and i decided to take a look at the places in Japan that i visited this past June


that's a picture of Musashi-Koyama, the area where my hotel was at. if you notice the red circle in the picture, that is the hotel where i stayed!

ｳｨ-ｸﾘ-ﾎﾃﾙ･ｱ-ﾊﾞﾝｽﾃｲ!
it's actually a very nice hotel located in Shinagawa! for one person, one bedroom, it costs about $60.00USD.

also, the best part of my trip was when i visited here..
東京タワー!!!

hello everyone! sorry i haven't posted in a few days. i've been under the weather.

so anyways, i went to see the Nuclear Cowboys freestyle motocross team at the LA Sports Arena. unfortunately, i didn't get any good pictures because my camera phone suuuucks! i'll see if i can find pictures online and post them.

so today, i didn't go to work. the night of the FMX event, i caught a bad cold. yesterday i was feeling like crap, but i went to work anyways. it wasn't bad enough to keep me home, so it was alright. but today, i could barely get out of bed. i couldn't even talk without coughing like crazy! ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ

i just ended up calling in sick. management was ok with it, so i just stayed home and watched movies for pretty much the whole day. the only "active" thing i did was wash my car, but that's about it. in all honesty, it felt really nice being able to finally rest without anyone bugging me!

i got a call from Jun, my new boss, asking me how i was feeling. i told him i felt good, but he said i'm more than welcome to take tomorrow off if i'm not feeling good yet. that's super nice of him! (＝⌒▽⌒＝) i should be ok to go to work, though. i can only stay inside this house for so long before i start going crazy of boredom!

i don't think it'll be too busy at work tomorrow because of the holiday season. we were super busy in 十一月、but 十二月 is pretty damn slow!

after work, on the other hand, i'll be going to Jun's house to help him setup his new home audio system. he just moved into a very high-class apartment in the Los Angeles area, so it'll be nice to just chill there after work.

we still need to get our trip to Canada figured out, though! we were supposed to go this weekend, but that has to be postponed AGAIN. The weather isn't looking too good from Vancouver, Canada down to Portland, Oregon. definitely not a good idea to drive a $120,000 car through the snow

you're probably asking, "wait...what?" haha. i'll explain the Canada trip in tomorrow's post!

また明日！！

FMX!

going to a Freestyle Motocross event tomorrow with Kaneshiro-san & his family! He was able to get some free passes, so he insisted i join. also note, Kaneshiro-san's daughter Sayaka is an amateur MX rider. she's competes regularly, so i'm assuming she's good =)anyways, this should be fun! i'll post plenty of pics tomorrow after the event!
