god my knee hurts - well not too much since i went to a doctor and asked what i cando to reduce the pain. My knee has been a serious problem for me when doing any sort of exercise since I have what is called "Osgood-Schlatter disease" (look it up if you want to know what it exactly is).

I was talking to a frined of mine saying that we should call up bunch of frineds and have mini-party since we haven't met for quite long (in fact most of them i have not even once after the year of 2003 began).

Yesterday I got to know that my frined's mother passed away. SHe was probably not even into her 40's yet.

At 13:00 I met up with a friend of mine (who studies in the States and is currently back in Japan for the new year vacation) in Shibuya, probably the most crowded place you can find in ( Read more... )

I work almost everyday, either during the day time or at night depending on which days of the week it is. I really don't like it when I work during the daytime for some reasons. First, I wanted to do work in which I get to make contact with a lot of new people. Being a waiter was one such way, so I wanted to do that. But this place I work at is ( Read more... )
