P I K A T I M E T O K Y O

Days like today are why I love this city.

So its about 5ish I head off to Shibuya to meet up with Marc, there's a camera crew and everything there - big stuff so I cross a bunch of time. Marc was running a lil late thanks to traffic but w/e - we eventually met up kicked it around Shibs looking for costumes, ran into this ice cream place and got some delcious flavors - SO GOOD. So shibs was a failure in the costume departmant but no worries.

We then ran up to Roppongi by bus - hit up Donqui, I got a pika pajama (COSTUME!!) so I'm set, Marcs waiting till tomorrow to do his but its all good. So we then headed to Tokyo Midtown, got some burgers - huge burgers at this old school styled place, very nice very good - kinda expensive (midtown...) We then hit up the park behind it, checked it out got stuck in the swings... uhhh the little tiny one for kids, I managed to get all the way in, glorious sight!

We then walked up to 57 which is this super high end place Marc used to work during its opening last year so he knew people and the manager who is this super chill dude who knows ppl all around tokyo and is a pretty high up DJ who gets invites to VIP's all the time so pretty big. After that I let Marc borrow the book for our econ exam tomorrow...

So I'm heading home - the train was....lets say, slightly impaired but amusing all the same. Now I'm walking back in Takanobaba and I get a call from Ovi who's like "I'm in a tree right now" I was like umm yeah! nice! He had a little to much popcorn or something but it was a very amusing call. I'm almost home and who do I run into! Rei!!! yeah no shazzle, it was crazy - kinda wonder what she was doing in BaBa but that's for her eyes only. So crazy time tonight and tomorrow I will be Pikachu and I will be loving it!

Womb to Ropps with the Sophia gals and Marc - can't wait

Aisha's Performance

So it's monday and Aisha had her show! Me and Meggy went in together, getting totally lost trying to find the place but somehow we ran into Hugo Lilly and Aish's bf along the way. (and her mom too) So we eventually got it sorted out and Aisha found us and brought her in. 3rd basement so realll low. Waited around for a bit before Aisha dished out an incrediable performance, extremely good - amazing voice!!!

So DAMN, after which she had to take care of stuff there so me meggy hugo and lilly all went to fridays got a little meal - hit up an Irish hubab - then hit up kareoke - Hugo is a very very livly/funny man to be around very interesting singer!

We then got the train with Aisha and all went home.

G O A I S H A ! ! ! ! ! !

Yuriy and I and Natsumi

Sooo we all hung out together for a bit having a jolly old time eating popcorn and whatnot then uhhoh they both missed their trains...and have no place to go...except for....Takadanobaba because my train rocks!

So thats what happened, we had a slumber party till 5 and it was full of videos and fun. Yay!

Adv101

Headed out after a no time constraint knock on my door by Josh Chaz and Teddy, we walk to big box where we meet up with this HUGE group organized by these two Waseda kids - one who I somehow met earlier..So we head down Waseda dori to this restaurant which is super cheap and really good - but at that time I've been getting messages from Natsuki and a call from Ov's so Ov came by but later peaced out when he saw the style - not his way. I then eventually left to Shinjuku running into Tatsuya bringing another person the other way (one of the waseda students) So I hit up the pubabab in Shinjuku, have a little drama but meet a cool guy named John who will make another appearance in the near future.. I then am about to leave and go home when this girl grabs me and brings me back in...I'm like ok sure - apparently her friend digg digg "maya" so I talk it up with her, Ovi soon arrives and joins the party and some Swiss guy comes along, I offer him a seat and we talk for a bit about some cold harded folk who arn't all the friendly in comparison to myself. Natsuki comes back...AHHHH, I head outside, drama, back in, Maya leaves (ughhh) Natsu leaves. So now I'm with Ovi and our new Swiss pal, so we hit up the train to Shib's goto Pure, where we were supposed to get a big discount but since Odell wasn't there, not so much luck. Hang out there for a bit before losing Swissy who apparently wants to go back to Saitama at an ungodly hour by taxi.....yeaaa. So Ovi offers a Taxi to ropps were we go, great ride - I love driving here/being driven. We go to this neat Romanian place which is piratically empty at the time, so the light, tons of people come including Tom and Chris and so on. Fun time

Does it always get better?!

hmm.
Lets see

hubba bubba with Yuri but it was closed for a school university event so we walked to the Taka park which had all these tents going on and whatnot.

Eventually walked back getting hypnotized met Ovi at KFC got some food

Hit the pubba for a bitta before taking a quick ride to Ikebukuro to meet up with a friend for a snap. Then back

Soon worked our way once the event had ended - met up with Natsumi for a little bit.

Ovi's friend came around - From China very nice guy

Lots of mixed feelings before heading to the train - do this do that. What to do? But we caught the last one as we darted up the stairs and into the compartment.

Shibs or Ebisu - we kept on and landed in Ebisu at Ovi's request.

Hit up Lawson real quick and then wendy's (excellent 99 menu, best yet in Japan!)

Taxi or walk...long way but walked it out. Came from a different way than two weeks prior. Past Muse and up the hill.

Tons and tons of handshakes as this was Ovi's home town and all.

Hit up an undergroud half host for free, curtosy of the knowledge and the friends.

Left after a bit before meeting up with Tomo and his friend at Donkihote! A long long discussion followed with the Redw in hand. Long time later we dropped into 911 real quick but it was crowded beyond belief so we left.

Then met up with Tomo again after looking at Ipex really quick - some drama going down in the hip hop circle, very very funny.

More Whitew this time - Tomo's a crazy man with his rollerblades and all. But a very good version.

So sat around for a bit - Tomo showed his free ride technique, lots more dicussions. Random friend in the suit.

Moved forward just a little before meeting with even more TUJ students! This time from Dubai..yeah. So they were looking to hang out a little later so we all went to this nice little place close by very nice inside, great vibe. Many Europeans...

So hung around for a bit and then back out where we met up with Mr. Suit who took us to another place up the street just a tad and got a round his curtasey. We then went to another place on the 7th floor where the day drew to a close. Yuri had a big smile on his face haha.

Anywho - thats the story of Tokyo's power

Publish T.i.Z and Job interviews!

Fun day today - met up with Ovi talked about history gold and pyramids. An Italian philosopher names and the universe. It was pretty deep.

Before that I had a job interview - or just a simple little talk at Wolfgang cafe thanks to my good friend Marc! We then hung out at regular Wolfgang where I got the best burger I have ever had - it was a mushroom one with this insane sauce and lots of free testing. Marc you are the man!

And I saw and talked to Emmanuel on the train which was awesome because I knew he was always along my path but its rare to time that so well. He was sitting in the reserved seats..haha

Another grand week of school - had an R&R exam but it was all writing so I was tremendously happy with how that turned out. Absolutely excellent! But my grade will tell more truth than words.

Anwho doing the Godfather restaurant scene with my good friend Adnan which is going to be amazing.

Typical time after that

DIESEL xXx

I couldn't even begin to describe how huge and amazing this was.

It was myself, Marc, Sam (from the forces), Negra, and Jared. Eventually we met up with John and Keita. But it was insane. Huge huge huge concerts - in the size of an airport hanger, 3 huge floors and nothing but style. Going on around the world without a cent of spare change. It was the event to set the 08 bar in the history books and it was amazing.

I've got a video!!

Ovidio - the truth

Thus it was finally my term to meet the man.

Typical night - Josh and I living it up in style. Tom and Chriss of course bringing the Irish New Z good feelings. So Ovi showed up in fair fashion and as always said things took off and was a fun time. Got some bowling in totally - fun time

1stys in T's

Once again, fun week of school - exams in global and hr&r which were a far cry from any sort of the term enjoyable.

So finished a long day of school - headed back home, met up with the gang before heading out to ol' Britian. From there we hung out with Natsuki and here friends - people left eventually until it was just Chaz and I - missed the last train so we all stayed in Taka got some food and had a grand time.

Shinjuky

Kinda an odd day, but with no school it was a perfect day.

So nothing to exciting in the morning - later on I got Yuriy and we headed to Shinjuku station where after quite a bit of time we met up with Natsuki her friends and Chaz. We then hung around Shinjuku doing our thing before heading home at around 10. Good time.

FC TOKYO Football!!!

Wake up call via Ted today.

Headed out with Josh, Ted, Chaz and Ajinomoto Stadium. FC Tokyo was our team as we bought up scarves and got prepped up for the game. The place was brilliant - a capacity of over 50,000 with an attendance of 30,000 for the day. The adversary Shimizu S-Pulse in the orange.

We got pretty rowdy as the game continued on. Sadly our team was down 0-3 at half which is a far cry chance for a comeback. But early in the second we made one up and by god we went crazy. Of course our opponents didn't let that last long scoring another goal and another during overtime. So it was upsetting that our team got beat up a bit but overall the experience was incredible. I really had no idea how amazing football games were especially with the crowd the chants and the vibe. Absolutely brilliant.

From there Atom atom with Marc - Yuri - Josh later along - and Kacey!

Pub in a Tub with a Bub

Thursday - first time with Josh Chaz Ted and Brian. Watched the soccer game and had a rowdy time! Meet up with some Waseda students and eventually joined 3 girls and their follower Jared. I didn't have to try

Friday - pub a tub. So I left Josh a nice little note under his door. First I hung out with Megan and Aisha going to a place near where her gig was that was alright but not in my element. They then proceeded to shop as I tagged alone - from there we took the train back to shibuya where they didn't hold true to their promise to hang out with me, but no matter. Headed back home in a slight annoyance and somehow I ran into Chaz going the opposite way! So he turned back with me and we all went and hit up Josh's room where Ted showed up soon afterward. We then hit the roads and I finally got to meet Ovi and Tod and their strong accented buddies. Jarad and Natsuki were there from the previous night along with some of his pals from Waseda. So after a little bit we - Jared his friends Chaz I and Natsuki decided to hit the train down to Roppongi but it decided to stop at Hiro-O permanently so luckily we were close so we walked. Found Muze and proceeded away. It was a good time with a lot of odd little events. Two of the guys left to grab some food Natsuki learned some lessons along the way and Jarad the bandanna boy did his thing. Finally we busted out leaving Jarad behind - Chaz myself Natsuki and Toby - amazingly we ran into his friends once again but we eventually split paths which worked out alright. We then made our way back to Taka and had a beef bowl which was excellent except for the rice..Chaz and I said our goodbyes to our new found friend and got some well deserved rest.

Another fun day school.

Theater: we did a "create an object" game which was pretty awesome. I did a bow and arrow. Then we made little skits using imaginary objects. I love that class and even though I'm somewhat held back its always a ton of fun.

Had our presentation in H&R thus I wore a suit the entire day. But the professor just kind of annoyed me because he was far more strict with our group than the others. We got an 80 but still we definitely deserved more.

H&R

Enjoyed my time doing nothing until 3 when I had to go to school to meet up with my H&R group for our presentation tomorrow.

Aki, Lena, Jesse and...Kishan who never showed.
We are by far the least organized group - 4th time we tried to get together and we still failed. Either way I did most of the powerpoint Lena added a ton from her own and it looks good. I'm just happy I have an excuse to bust out my suit tomorrow. It should be pretty fun. Thank god for Aki and his attempts at organizing this all. Can't wait for the weekend!

Tokyo Tower was PINK today!
