Glassblowing

I can’t sleep again. The only night that I don’t want to sleep until 5 in the morning and I can’t! Darn.

Just the other day, I got the glass from the glassblowing activity that we did a while back. 

Isn’t it pretty?

I think that I’m about to change my favorite color to something else.

Purple, wanna be my new favorite color?

And BTW! Eyobe’s back from Canada! I went to welcome him home and give him back his keys. You know what that means right? I got my peanut butter!!!! (And maple syrup.) I asked him to help me buy maple syrup so I can give Kenji some. Thanks Eyobe!

Maple candy is weird. It tastes kinda like sugar. Liquified sugar that got hardened. But in a weird way. It’s not really unpleasant — it’s just weird. 

Which reminds me, I need to hit a bookstore some time before Sunday (I don’t know how that reminded me of hitting the bookstore). I’m going to be teaching this guy business English twice a week and he wants me to buy him a textbook. I wonder how that’ll go. 

Like water

So I had dinner with the other exchange students at the lounge. Lin cooked and everything. I’m not exactly sure what the stuff are called but then right before eating, I nagged Lin about cooking faster. Well, not so much as being able to eat at once but more the fact that I wanted to use what little Japanese I know. Guess I better trying to be cute.

The food was okay. I ate ketchup rice and everything. I even bought people ice candy bars and orange juice. Btw, did you know that a prawn — a piece of prawn — costs ¥98? Ouch. 

Lesson learned: don’t hang out with people you don’t really want to hang out with. But that’s gonna be weird cause lately — I don’t want to hang out with anyone. Everything just annoys me silly. And as much as I shouldn’t mind, I just can’t will the bitter taste in my mouth away. 

Bring you back

So I’ve only read around 20 odd books when I was aiming for 50! And more than half of the year has passed. I’m currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird right now. I’m just so glad that I finally started appreciating how much time I have in my hands. I’ve nearly rewatched all the Gilmore Girls episode. 

P.S. At least one part of my room looks decent.

Normally, fireworks look like this:

But sometimes, they let boom something like this:

Awesome, isn’t it?

I forgot to bring my N82 to take pictures of the fireworks, so you guys will have to make do with my Samsung 2.0MP phone :c

Happy Birthday, Dustin!
