Soccer Game!!

I'm joining 3 soccer team now, and one of my teams had a game on 15th of Feb. This team is co-team, which means gender-mixed. In the field, there must be 5 players including 3 females and 2 males and 1 goalkeeper either a male or a female. Don't get me wrong! I didn't play the game because my broken leg hasn't healed completed yet... Why I went to the game was my leg was broken by one of today's opponent!! When my leg was broken, I didn't see his face, who broke my leg, so I wanted to see his face and to know he talked to me about my leg. I'll tell you about him at the end of my blog!!

Anyway, the game started at 6:10 pm. At the beginning of the game, we were doing good, but after the half of the 1st half, our stamina dramatically decreased, so we lost 2 goals...

Those pictures were taken in the half-time. Everyone discussed what they felt in the 1st half game, and what we should do to win!



After the half-time, the 2nd half started! Within 1st 15 minutes, we lost 2 goals again... We had only 10 minutes left, and the score was 4 - 0... When all our players were looking down and lost our hope, Sam showed her never-give-up spirit!! She chased the ball all the time, got the ball, and shot it!! That was our 1st goal in the game!! We were so happy!! But, we lost 2 goals again in the end of the game... Actually, at the end of the game, one of our female players, Brenna, was tackled so hard. by a female player of our opponent... She almost got concussion!! The female player didn't apologize to Brenna!! How rude she was!! Everyone knew she didn't do that intentionally, but she should've apologized to Brenna as a sportsman. because she made Brenna suffer and hurt... Fortunately, Brenna was ok!

What's wrong with them!? One of them broke my leg, and Brenna almost got concussion! After the game, the guy, who broke my leg, didn't come and talk to me... Seriously, what's wrong with them!? They didn't know what sportsmanship was... I'm really sad people who don't know about sportsmanship play sports... That's why people such as me and Brenna have to suffer from unnecessary injuries...

Sam in da house!!!

Hello, everyone! How are you doing? It's a warm temperature in Winnipeg now!! It's close to a temperature in Japan!! Don't come back, winter, please!!

On 12th of Feb, one of my great friends, Sam, had a dance show, so she invited me there. I received a text message from her boyfriend, Nic, and he asked me I was going to her dance show. When he text-messaged me, I was preparing to leave my place. I told him I left my place right away. Then, he said he picked me. Within 10 min, he came to my place to pick me up. We arrived at Ellice Cafe Theater where Sam's show was held.

The show started at 7 pm, and a guy showed up on the stage. He held an acoustic guitar and sang several songs. Those songs were just amazing!! I don't know how to describe his songs, but they were awesome!!

After his performance, several girls showed up on the stage, and they danced w/ several songs. I didn't know anything about the show, so I didn't know when Sam's performance was... I was holding my iphone all the time!
Finally, Our star, Sam, was in the house!!


The right dancer was Sam!

She was absolutely amazing!! I was so surprised and impressed what she was capable of! I would love to see her other shows again, definitely!!

Wheelchair Rugby!!

Hello, everyone! Thanks for coming to my blog! Please, enjoy staying!

On 10th of Feb, I went to play Wheelchair Rugby!! The last week, one of my close friends, Mark, asked me to play it with him! In one of the classes he's taking, all students have to go volunteer for disabled people, and he picked to play Wheelchair rugby with them! He's been asking me to play together since the beginning of January, but I was so lazy and bum so have declined his offer through my excuses... But I used all my excuses so had to go with him finally the last week. Before playing it, I was so nervous... But after we started practicing, I was so into it!! I was chasing the ball intently!!




This picture was taken before the game. We were dividing 2 teams and checking rules of the game.




After the meeting, we started the game! When I took this picture, the game was started exactly!




This picture was taken in the middle of the game! Everyone was so excited and serious to play it! Everyone became so aggressive, and we hit each other!! One of my friends, Glen, almost flipped over when I tackled him!! Mark was in my opponent team, and he checked me so hard!! he was so annoying... But it meant he was one of the best players in the students!!

Every Thursday, the disabled people play wheelchair rugby, so I decided to join this team!! I wanna be a better player!!

Moses Mayes!!!

Hey, guys! How r u!? It's been snowing for 3 days here and driven me crazy...

I went to the concert of Moses Mayes, from Winnipeg and #1 band in Winnipeg. I got a call from my friend, and he told me Moses Mayes was coming on Jan 22nd, 2011. I was a huge fun of them, so I asked him to buy the tickets for me and my lady. But advance tickets were sold out... So I had 2 wait on the long line forthe tickets on the day of the concert... We went to the club called Pyramid in Winnipeg @ 845pm and had to wait for buying the tickets for 20 min... It was -20 degrees and freaking cool outside... I almost lost a sense of my hands and toes... My lady also complained to wait outside to buy the tickets... Finally, we could get in the club, but the tickets on the day of the concert were sold out within 30min. My friend and his friends were supposed to come to the concert, but when they arrived @ the club, the tickets were already sold out... So,they couldn't get in and went to other club.

The door was open at 9:05, and nothing happened until 10:30. After 10:30, one of the most famous papper crew in Winnipeg, called The Lytics, showed up!! Audiences were shouting and went crazy!!



They performed the first 5 songs by themselve, but Moses Mayes featured The Lytics after 5 songs!! That was so sick!! They sang 10 songs ish 'til 11:45pm.

At 12 am (midnight), finally Moses mayes showed up on the stage!! Everybody went nuts!! I was too excited so didn't remember what happened there... sorry... But, I recorded one of their songs, my favorite song! SO, I'll upload it on Youtube, and I"ll attach URL of the movie here!

Friday, Jan 14th, 2011

It's been snowing for 3 days in Winnipeg... It's very dangerous for me because it makes grounds slippy... Actually, I already slipped 15 min ago...

I went to the gym with nic and his girlfriend, Sam. We worked out our back, biceps, shoulders, and abs. We did eccentric training today. The eccentric training was a spotter helped concentric movements (lifting weights) but the spotter didn't help when weights was going down.

First of all, we started working out our back. We did 4 exercises for back. Sam was doing one of the back exercises, and Nic was helping when she lifted the weights.



Can you see her guns!? When she worked out, she became so dangerous!!

After that, we worked out our biceps and did 2 exercises for biceps. Sam was doing Biceps Curl. Nic was helping when she lifted the weights.



And then, we did shoudler exercises, especially shoulder extension & shoulder adduction.

After the shoulder exercises, Nic & Sam were very tired so went home. I did exercises for abs, 300 reps.

When I went home, it was snowing, and it made the ground slippy... I slipped at the first step from the gym. My body prevented from fell, so my injured leg supported my whole body weight... At thesame time, shooting pain showed up and traveled my whole body... I went back to inside and took a rest until the pain was gone... I safely went home, but my injured leg still hurt... Hope I didn't break my healing bone...

Gym time!!

What's up, you guys!? It's been snowing since yesterday here... That sucks for me because snow makes grounds uneven... When I walk down on the uneven ground, it hurts my injured leg so much... That's why I don't want to go outside... However, snowing isn't a bad thing!! Snowing means not very cold!! If temp was below -20℃, there wouldn't snow...

Anyways, I went to the gym (YMCA) with my best friend Nic. He is a half black & white canadian, and we've taken several classes. We have a common thing the gym!!! We are a gym freak!! Lol!! We took the gym class together 2 years ago, and he taught me how to work out in the gym. He make me the gymfreak!! Since 2 years ago, we've been going to the gym together. However, he's been super busy since last September, so we haven't gone to the gym together for 3 months. Finally, we went to the gym yeasterday!! We did lower leg exercises!! It's not too much saying that he is the Bakemono!!! In the leg press, he lifted 1350lb (612kg) 12 reps by his 2 legs!! We worked out for 2 hrs.



After work-out, I was invited my close friend's birthday party. There were 12 people in his party, and we went to Japanese restaurant called Meiji Sushi. Its restaurant was freaking expensive!!! My friend & I sharedour dishes, and we ordered 4 different kinds of sushi. They were $40!!! Taste was ok... But it wasn't worth $40!! I can make them at my place!! I will never go back there!!

Hope my leg gets better everyday!!

Dinner with Ballet Dancers

I caught a cold... I was quite busy recently, so my immune response became weak... I have a runny nose and soar throat... I don't know what to do...

Anyways, I had dinner with dancers from Royal Winnipeg Ballet. They asked me to cook Japanese foods, so I made "nikujaga", "Tatsuta age",& "stuffed cabbage". I love cooking, so I have several original recipes. Those foods come from my original recipes. They enjoyed my foods, so I was relieved. When they left my place, they promised me to come back to my place and to try my new recipes!! I have to think about my new recipes...

They will have the last show of Nutcracker tomorrow, and they invited me there. So, I'm so excited to watch it!! I know it's going to be fantastic!!
