If there was any day I had to be more ashamed of myself than ever, today would be the day. I spent the whole weekend preparing cover letters and my resume that I didn’t prepare for Japanese class. No doubt I studied a bit for the kanji quiz, but I totally didn’t do the stuff in the workbook. Not like…

jelly beans with underwear
SoftBank released a new series of handphones called “Jelly Beans” and the mascot for that are jelly beans. *DUH* But wait, they are jelly beans with UNDERWEAR and their rears resembles butt cheeks. Is it me or the jelly beans and logo resemble the Jelly Belly beans? I guess the Japanese live up to their name of being “perverted.” To…
the death of magazines?
We discussed in ADV483 about the death of print, tv, and radio. With the internet sticking around, these media are suffering. Anyway, someone in my class said that if anything at all, he thinks magazines would be the first to go. Prof. Clifton just laughed coz she said immediately after he said that, a few hands shot up in the…
in my world
In my world, we walk in coloured bubbles. Mine is pink of course. In my world, we listen to happy music on our cute little headphones. In my world, we only know happiness and the best things are smiles. In my world, we survive on hugs and happy air. How I wish I could live in my world forever. PS:…
miss antsy pantsy
Today, Elisia is Miss antsy-in-my-pantsy. Never felt so nervous, yet have that “I’m so raring to go” feeling in a long time. All because we changed textbooks for JAPN204. We started using the 中級日本語 textbook today and with that, we needed to memorize about 8 short lines of conversation text to do role play in class. I hate presentations so…
the sudden realisation
やっぱりね。 The feeling. The horror that creeps up to you and washes all over you. I knew it. I knew it all along that it was a mistake. Even as we sat in those meetings then, a small part of me knew that it was all a mistake and those who unknowingly came forward to pitch their ideas had no…
the bad and the not so bad
Stupid 拾って。You are the cause of my losing one mark for nothing. Of all things you had to be ひろって。Now, you are the cause of my misery. I want to bite and throw a hissy fit…because it’s my first JAPN204 exam and if it doesn’t go well in the beginning, it can only get worse. We are going to use…
watashi wa xx-san ni ijimeraremashita
We read a passage in Japanese class about bullying incidents in school. I came up with scenarios/reasons for bullying – mostly in the perspective of a girl. Elementary school: Bullying cases would probably be the I beat, pinch, pull your hair kinda nonsense. Usually kids go crying to the teacher saying so-and-so bullied me. Milder cases would probably just end…
pick a number from 1 to 9
We failed miserably. Everyone from the Spring 2010 ADV450 creative class. Our first little test of whether those creative juices flowed within us. The test was simple. We were told to pick a number from 1 to 9. Our lecturer then had us all put our hands up. Every time he called out a number and it corresponded to the…
onna ga medatte naze ikenai
Morning Musume is going to release a new single soon and the PV for it is already out. I gotta agree with most that this isn’t one of their best songs. The tune isn’t really catchy. However, their costumes are nice. (Bonus points for being pink.) Don’t quite like the puffy accessory in their hair though. Who’s missing? Koharu. I’m…
