A few weeks ago, a guy contacted me via email about potential translation jobs. Said he was going to Japan in January and needed a couple of documents translated. The documents were related to FOREX (foreign exchange market) and I figured he was going there to give a seminar or something ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I was really bummed out about something that happened in RL, so today I decided to cheer myself up by going to a Japanese restaurant and treat myself to some sushi (I normally don't eat rice).
After that, Ms.A, my bestie, and I went to the mall, and I got myself a Cinnabon (I got two for the price of one since they were closing store ( Read more... )

So, I went to my very first Zumba class today.
I'd so underestimated it since my mother-in-law, who has a bad back, does Zumba.

Since the morning, I've been filming a CM today. Yesterday I was filming a PV all night until dawn.
From dawn to dawn...

It was a long day yesterday.
I was making music since the morning, and then headed straight to the filming for the drama, Akumu-chan.
Although, the filming was just for a single scene that didn't get filmed earlier.

If I absolutely had to pick one of your songs as my very very VEEERY favorite, I guess I have to go with Kimi Ni Aitakute, based on my emotional responses to this song.
