Excellent Work on the Hot Swim Wear Show by Beautiful Ladies

Well, I could not sit still but to post a few photos that were shared with me from my friend, Dawn, of a recent fashion show, where she performed a remarkable work on the make up on the swim-wear models with her partner, Shannon. These swim-wears were designed by her friends, Britt and Michelle. and what do you say people? HOWT LOOKING SHIT!

It is always very very inspiring to see an image or experience a moment where people are manifesting their true passion. Say it is a fashion show, or a live house music performance. I can not get enough of witnessing these hot moments of other people's lives. I was very inspired by these photos and wanted to share what I was most positively influenced by in the past couple of days. :)

For those who are interested in purchasing their swim-wears, please visit: www.fascinodiva.com
Also, those individuals (living in west Canada) who are interested in getting a fabulous make up work, please email me so that I can forward you a contact after getting a permission of my friend :) (the name of their company is: Shadan Artists).

Thank you very much for the true inspiration and your great vibe, Dawn. You ROCK!! :)

Wanna see some Japanese hip hop dancing crew?

While staying up late last nite, there was this tv show where some Japanese dancer crews come on the tv studio for their performance. It is always SWEET watching some kick ass dancers do their thing, so I video recorded one of the most better crew shown on the show. Although it is a hip hop dancer crew (and not house), I am still going to give a high five to the boys. Good stuff.

Quick Tour to My Parent's Restaurant & Garden

As to meet this request from my friend, I am going to give you a quick tour of my parent's restaurant. On the second floor of this building that you are going to see, a sleeping beauty kumi sleeps forEVER. LOL

Enjoy!

Stillness of Beauty

Yesterday, I did a bit of gardening and cleaned the parking lot, which took over 3 hrs.
So today, I took things easy in the late morning after consulting a couple customers who came by to make a reservation for their daughter's engagement party. I like chilling by the garden, hearing the water sprashing from the little falls that lead to a pond. I took a small film recording the garden today, so I plan on uploading it later on.

I took a photo of me chilling laying down on the tatami-matt. I will surely miss my Japanese home, the garden, the Japanese moss, bonsai trees, ponds, carp fish, green tea...

I wished people who have never been to Japan experience what it is like to live here.
Very comforting. soothing. chilling. I like the art that I see in the stillness of our living here.



Peace

P.S.
My way to visit the moon light temple to burn some incents for my ancestor's gravestone.

Finally... My deepest condolence for my cousin and her family

I had such a surrealistic dream today. Of an angel like creature flying up to the sky with the gentle wind around him, up to wherever he now belongs to, the heaven. It felt as though he was thanking all the people who cared and loved him, and he was trying to spread the love and peace back to us. That was the sort of feelings that I gained. When I opened my eyes and woke up from the dream, I instinctly knew what had just happened. As I walked into the living room, my grandma's mobile rang, and the phone call meant the death of my cousin's baby, who struggled to live his life even for a little longer after the accident shakened his life like a sudden earth quake putting people's lives on its edge.

As I learned this news, I felt strange. I felt immense sadness for my cousin and her family. But I knew that he tried his best, and he was heading to where he belongs, on his own strongly, so I felt that we had to appreciate the life that he had, everything that he shared and taught us and cherish the memory we have of him.

Unfortunately, I have never met him, so the funeral that I will be attending (most likely after tomorrow) will be my first and last time I see him. I feel terribly sorry for my cousin, and do not know how to comfort her, but I am going to tell her the dream that I had, hoping that will make her feel better, even a little bit.

Life is so precious. But we are so lucky to have the ability to keep and cherish the memory in our life. I feel graceful that the human psychology and some memories trigger us to remember certain emotions that we experience in our life (of course, having a bad flashback is not nice, but you know what I mean here). It's kind of like having the gift of experience more than once (thanks to our memory)!!

Anyway, I hope and wish all my best for my cousin and her upcoming delivery of her baby, which she carries with her right now.

Being a gangster on the road ain't easy

Well, I washed my mom's car first thing in the morning after I had breakfast. I even waxed it, and turned out pretty nice and fresh. :)

Then later on, I made a simple sammich for my grandma and my lunch, and this sleepy-ness hacked me, so I took a nap like a big sloth forever sleeping on a tree.

Then it was time to water the plants, vegetables and flowers outside, so I decided to move the clean car to the side. Then I realized something was different about it. Shite. Seems as though the buttery is gone! :( I must have set the light on mistakenly while cleaning earlier today.
My grandma called a relative for a rescue, and he flew down here right away. He transfered the battery from his car and fixed the problem like a magic.

Phew.

So I am charging up some battery right now, and it's been about 45 minutes now, so I plan on driving to the gym soon.

Hopefully the car will not die down when I need to return home from the gym though. SO wish me good luck.

Okay, I must check everything when handling my power-tool on the road. Peace

My Goldfish....

I was determined to take my grandma to a street festival near the moon light temple, which was to start at 16:00pm, so I cooked my grandma a light mushroom pasta for her lunch and then went to the gym to work out early today.

I had a pretty good work out there, chatted a little with my friend who works there, came back home, took a bath and got ready to go to the festival with my grandma.

It was rather pretty quiet when we got there, but loads of kids enjoying themselves eating some candies, french fries, and deep fried chicken nuggets and what not.

Then I wanted to try kingyo (goldfish) sukui (scoop), where a player will be given a paper scoop to try scooping the goldfish from a tank. My grandma took a photo of me while playing this game, so here it is. Below sign explains a rule: a player will be given only 3 goldfish, when scooping more than 3. So I told myself that my mission was to scoop 3 goldfish and end the game, because if I scooped more, then the boss will selectively give me not so impressive goldfish, even I scooped good kinds. Yes, I know how things work. I am a pro after many years of playing this game. LOL

That's right. I scooped 3!! And check out how pretty goldfish I got too! So I brought home 3 goldsih with me, but on the way home, the plastic bag broke, and all the water leaked giving my goldfish a life threatening experience :( Most terribly, this happened while my grandma and I were at a neighborhood grocery store, so we did not notice this until we arrived home. By the time I put all my goldfish in a tank, one of them was.... dead :( I thought about giving a heart massage or an electronic shock to revive the life of my poor goldfish, but it seems its life has been taken away. It totally shrugged my joyfully-cheerful mood :(. Who knows it may come back to life again, so I am going to give it a nite and see what happens tomorrow morning. But at the same time, I imagined what my cousin maybe going through right now, having her own baby at a critical state right now. But no matter it is a goldfish or human baby, I hate seeing a life passing away. NOOOOO way!

I separated the poor one from the rest, and put the energetic ones in a goldfish tank that my grandma got me at a store. See, my goldfish look so cute right?

Yes, I got "goooood ones" :D Little kids around me were very impressed with my "skill", so I gave them a tip before leaving. This reminds me of my need to update my profile in this site. Yes, I have the "scooping goldfish with a paper scoop at a street festival" skill. Napoleon should better be proud of me by now :)

Well anyway, after that, my gradma and I enjoyed walking the street and looking at the the festival tents and what not. I also got three tops that were over 60 % off. I felt like I got such a great deal.Woo hoo.
