On & On


Hey Guys ...

Finally getting the hang of this blog thing... I think? I added little buttons on the bottom to like say your reactions to the blog so if not Ill spice it up or what not . Also I made it so you can leave comment even if your not logged in and such... So let me get to the "good stuff".

Ive only been a week here in Tokyo but it seems like longer ... To be exact I live in a Dormitory in the Ikebukuro ward of the city . I take the subway everyday which reminds me more and more of how I want to live in New York . New York is the Americans Tokyo . No Joke . But also in my days Ive realized something . Being a foreigner and not understanding the countries language is really hard on a person. Remember how back in High School there was always that ESOL student ( for those who don't know ,ESOL was a program for students who were learning English) and they where always behind. The class would go slow or you would have to wait for them to understand something. You would watch them and either feel real bad or annoyed . Me personally, I hated people back at home that didn't know English . Id say in my head , " Your in America Learn English !" , I know that I was being mean too . But i regret that and I take it back ...

I'm one of those people now . Today I went to the post office . I was trying to see how much it would cost to mail something . But I couldn't speak to the lady trying to help me .I got frustrated and said never mind and left .... I felt like an idiot ... Those are the type of things that make me miss the US .

Anyways ... Ive been listening to Erykah Badu ... "Baduizm" ....

OKOKOKOK Enough ...

So Like i said I journeyed into the mecca of all fashionistas ( well at least I think so ) HARAJUKU !! I went pretty late so there was not alot of crazy-ness like there usually is upose to be ... Passed by a few hot "sneakerhead" spots.... Bape , Surpreme , Ice Cream/BBC , etc. and Found this dope consignment shop called "Fools Judge" ... check out their blog here . Its in Japanese though-but they prices are madd cheap and you can read them . They are the numbers just imagine a dot where its suppose to be . And remember Our dollars weak .














ISNT THIS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORE DISPLAY EVER?!


DOPE CONSIGNMENT SHOP "FOOLS JUDGE"

I know these pictures aren't all that great . I shoulda , woulda, coulda , taken better pictures of the stores and clothing etc . But to be honest I wasn't buying anything and I didn't want to be one of those kids (usually Asian sneakerheads with cameras) taking pictures in the "cool" stores . So i kept it very private , if you cant tell lol.

I cooked today ! Very Simple cooking .. Noddles and hamburger meat . My mom said I needed protein in my diet . Here I go Mami !

As You see I dont have much room to work with. I found some of what i think was soy sause and I used packets from left over microwable noddle packets as seasoning. Im so ghetto lol.

Im going to try to study I have a Hiragana test tommarow . I am very care-free not stressin a thang !

Love Yalls ! And Plz Comment and "React " !
