We both did the superman punch!
Current mood:

happy

Today was so awesome. XD

I went to morning training but no one was there! O_o! Then Khoa (pronounced Kwa) came in 5 mins late, and we warmed up, did uchikaeshi take downs (exchange punch into take downs and defense) for a while. Then Abe-san, Shichi-san, and H-san came in like 40 mins late. We did more uchikaeshi, blocks, returns, and then MMA sparring with MMA gloves! We never spar with those gloves, so I was really surprised. But for me, that's the funnest part of MMA! :D So I had a blast!!!

Shichi-san was really going hard ^^:;; At one point, I got poked in the eye, but I got a sweet hook straight combo, so I was happy.

At one point, when I was sparring Khoa, we BOTH went for the super-man punch at the same time. XD lol they both hit, too! It was so funny.

I enjoyed Khoa's company for lunch, and then I went to the gym and lifted weights. PUMP IT UP, BABY!!! Then I got one of the nice Gold's Gym staff guys to explain how I should be lifting weights, and make me a plan. He explained really well, and I could understand. He taught me how to do everything properly.

He was really nice. XD I want him to explain it to me all over again. (LOL) My bad memory wouldn't be a good excuse, though. hah So then I ate anago (eel) and a carrot and piriamakonyaku, and a snack called 'ROXY' as a post-workout snack. XD

donkey cuff raise? (weight training)
Current mood:

amused

So I lifted weights last night. Blah. But NECESSARY.
So I had asked Kunioku-san to make a program for me. He asked me what I did last night. I barely know what that stuff is called in English, let alone Japanese. I knew he'd ask me, though, so I tried to make a mental note when I was using the machines.

But still...so I googled "weight lifting" in Japanese, to get a list of the most common activities, so I could search for what I did and tell him "That one!"

It's written in Katakana, which means it's an English word written in phonetics. So I have to sound it all out.

シットアップ= shee-to appu = sit up
スタンディング・カール = su-ta-n-dei-n-gu ka-ru = standing curl..
Tバー・ロウイング = T baa ro-u-ingu = what do you guys think? ^_^

THEN
I saw ドンキー・カーフ・レイズ...

Do-n-ki kah-fu re-i-zu

uh... okay

donkey. ka...kaf? cuff? raise?
Donkey cuff raise? What's that? *google*

This is the page I got.

LOL

the Hanafuda card game!!
Current mood:

happy

So my Japanese friend taught me how to play this game called "Koi Koi" with Hanafuda cards! He said that it's a really old fashioned traditional game...and the cards from the 100 yen shop were SO cheap. lol But it's a fun game. You have to make certain picture combinations that make no sense, so you just have to frigg'n memorize them all. Like three red banners, okay I got it. But then there's the pig, the crane, the flower on the dock, and a dangly willow branch. Etc. We were constantly referring to his print out.

I'm going to Disney Land with Joanne and Gabriel tomorrow!

Weee tanoshimi!

Who am I? We are people of 'layers'
Current mood:

thoughtful

I just came back from the A City Christmas party.

Now I work in Shiny-City. But I always say, "My heart is in A City." Why? Because I love A CIty, and I still feel connected to the place, the people.
Now, I'm a freelance fighter. But I say, "Deep inside, I'm always Keishukai." Why? Because I love Keishukai, and still feel connected to the place, the people.

What is this, "I am? I am?"

Then I realized that it's all like that. And you- it's like that with you, too.

We label ourselves and put ourselves into categories in order to fit in. In order to make sense and order of the world around us.

But actually, we are a people of many layers. We start our lives a bear rock of land. As we grow, we pour layer after layer of earth on our rock. They build that which is "us." The first layer is always there, but the next ones build up and build up until we form a little hill. We carry with us our mistakes, but as long as we cover them with another layer, the past can be forgotten and buried. But it remains there always, a part of us. Our experiences form little bumps and peaks in our land. We can plant flowers with roots that grow and flourish throughout our lives, and are never buried. We can chose to forget, but never erase.

I lived and worked in A City for four long, wonderful years. It will always be apart of me, no matter how many layers I pour upon that experience, no matter how much time passes. I will always "be A City." This is the same as when our loved ones pass on- their influence has been built into our lives, into our layers, so they are immortalized in us. I make decisions based on what my mom and dad taught me. Based on what my old coaches told me, and on what my new ones expect of me. I will always have Neveen, one of my best friends from Egypt, and Caitlin and Erin and my high school friends, my parents, and everyone I ever met. They are all built into my hill, which is becoming taller and taller.

If we pour land upon one spot too much, it will peak but too early. Don't only slave away at your job. Don't only play tennis your entire life for a hobby. Only old people should be mountains. We must build evenly, become a mighty range, flat with a variety of experiences and chances. So if we stand at the top of our land, we can chose one path or another more easily, rather than scrambling up and down uneven peaks and valleys, lost and uncertain.

Where are you from?
- I don't know. I'm from here, my apartment in Kawasaki.
What dojo are you from?
-I just now came back from the AACC. Abe-san taught me how to adjust my stance. Last the day before, I was in Kamata.
What office are you from?
-This morning I worked in Shiny. Tomorrow I work in A City.
Will you stay in Japan forever?
-Tomorrow I will be in Japan. I'm meeting a friend after work.
What do you love?
-I love to live. What do you love?
Who are you?
-I am me; I have many names. I am the sum of my past choices and the equation of my future ones. The equation has not been set yet...for the variables are always changing.

Who are you?
