Well done!

It's bee such a long time sice I made my personal best score "96" in golf.

For first time in two years, I broke my best score, and it is now "90". Am I happy? In deed!! Yeah!

I met new people last weekend. You can see the pictures of them. They are so-called Kapalua fans. Kapalua is in the Maui island, Hawaii. It is well known as a lovely place to go for playing golf, or speding your holidays. Although I have never been to Kapalua before, stories they told me a lot about Kapalua made me really want to go there. I can't wait!

Thank you so much for having me in your Kapalua mania Tour, locomoco-san! I appreciate it very much!
See you in Kapalua sometime soon. I will catch up with you about "Hula Girl".

Watermelon Fish in Toyokawa

This is a watermelon fish I discovered in the river in Toyokawa. They told me that it can be seen only in there once in a beautiful day. You can catch it if you are lucky..

Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to catch it, but I got to eat a lot of food at the BBQ by the river with my favorite friends, Lacey and Chi-chan. Chi-chan joined us this morning and made our day!
Poor Chris had to stay at home because he was too sick to come. We missed him there. They play basketball with Chris in Japan. Everyone was so nice. We had a great time.


Lacey and Chris took me to the bowling last night. Believe it or not. ATTENTION! Ladies and gentlemen, especially people in Australia, I hereby declare that I had beaten Chris in the bowling game (^^). I think he was already not feeling well then though.. Lacey won the basketball game, Chris came second. I really think that Chris was already sick then. Chris won the air hooky.

I don't know what to say to express my feeling now. This weekend was so unusual and lovely that I will never forget. I can't believe Chris and Lacey are leaving Japan in 10 days for good.

It is hard to thank them enough for being special.

LUV U A LOT!!

Go G-class!

(MOMO, my friends dog)

In April, I named my blog "Go G" because I am a crazy Giants fan. However, my blog name sounds more like rooting for our G-class. Everyone in G-class is great to be with. We are sharing a lot of memorable time together.

Let's plan something for fun before the summer break! We deserve it!!

By the way, I made a presentation with my favorite friend A-shi.

Our presentaion was about "Bulgaria". Look at her! Doesn't she look like a Bulgarian dall? So cute! Thank you for preparing the power point for the presentation, A-shi. It meant a lot to me.

A sunny day in Omote-sando

June 1st is our holiday! I is the anniversary of the school founding. Yeah!

This year, it was sunny Friday, therefore, it was a perfect day to go to Omotesando. (Omote-sando Hiyori)

Gosh, I can't remember the last time I went out on weekdays except for school or work.

My lovely friend E-chan who lives 10 min. from Omote-sando joined me for lunch at Omote-sando Hills. We went to a Japanese restaurant called "Yasai-ya, Mei"

Doesn't it look healthy? Yes, the lunch was delicious!

I went to a hair salon just across the road from the Hills, back to the Hills and bought a Theory Suits then went to an esthetic salonPark Tower in Shiba-Koen afterwards.

It was a day of relaxing and spending(^^;

Life is beautiful!

Motoya Pancake

It was a great sunny Saturday afternoon.

I went to take a late lunch with my friend L to Motoya Pancake http://www.motoya.net/pancake-ristorante/index.html. L is an undiscovered genius of taking photos of food. Look at the picture above!

Their pancakes are so good that you can have them all! We ordered so-called "meal sets". L had spicy omelet with pancakes and I had Portuguese sausages with pancakes. Both of the sets were ￥1000　They were very filling. Thank you for being my company, L!

Ai-chan had nothing but water. Sorry././

It is just across the river from Motomachi shopping street. Why don't you stop by for pancakes when you go to Yamate Campus next time.

My brother joined us liitle after and we went to a wine place that Ls friends have. It was a good place, too. Ai-chan seemed happy and very hot to be out. She stayed over night with my brothers place.. She's not back yet....

I already miss you so much, Ai-chan.

ABE-Chan

This was the moment I had been waiting for.

Friday night, with your good friends, good food, long chatting to catch up... Could I ever want more?


ABE-chan Bekkan is the place you want to go for fresh Yakiton (grilled pork) and all kinds of Yakitori in Azabu-Juban.

I met my fabulous friends C-chan and T-chan first time in looooong time. I had so much fun with them tonight. I talked a lot, ate a lot and laughed a lot!


We worked for Miss International Pageant together three years ago. C-chan is a native English speaker while T-chan speaks perfect French. We shared a suite in the hotel in Tokyo for more than 10 days then. They are great to be with! I am sooo lucky to be their friends.


C-chan, I am always crossing my fingers for you and for me that your husband not to be transferred far from us.

T-chan, am looking forward to playing golf with you sometime very soon.




Have a great weekend,

Futsal Championship Japan 2007...regretted!

AFC Futsal Championship was held in Osaka, Hyogo, Japan from May 13th to 19th.

This competition begun in 1999. The 9th championship was held in Osaka and Hyogo, Japan.

This competition consisted of 2 stages.
16 teams were divided into 4 groups.
At the group stage, each team played each other once, the top two teams per group proceeded to the quarterfinal stage transitioning to a Knock-out format. The remaining 4 teams were based in Osaka to compete in the semifinals stage, 3rd place play-off, and the Final match.

I went to Osaka on May 17th to do English MC at the venue as the competition proceeded to the knock out stage.

Japan had won the last championship, so that it was expected for them to win the competition 2times in a row..

The result was cruel.. The champions were IR Iran. They played far better than Japan I would have to admit.

Oh well, there is always another opportunity. The championship will be held in Thailand next year and it will be FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. We should keep rooting for them.

By the way, the last picture is my fabulous co-workers. They do the operations for major soccer matches held in Japan. Being enthusiastic, they work so hard for not only players but also supporters and everyone who involves in soccer. It is always my honor and pleasure to work with them. They never get tired to have fun as well..
