back again ~~

ok so like i'm lazy to post lol. but i haven't done anything lately other than go to tokyo and nagoya last month. since pictures speak for themselves, you can go here: JESSROCKS

teehee :3 *runs*

ごめんね！BARBARA!

ok so..lack of silence = lazy to post. you already knew that barabara!! and because i read your heartbreaking comment i will now post m(_ _)m

so i'm done with semester 1 (yey) and it's summer break now. before summer break actually started i hung out a lot with bra and julia cos they were leaving super early. went to festivals, karaoked, FACIAL *ooh yeh* and zenna's dinner and whatnot lol. also had an overnight trip @ koyasan, where i slept in a temple and showered for the first time in PUBLIC O_O *blinks* i know, wow. it was an experience and it really wasn't all that bad, but never will i do it again if i had the choice *nodnod*

more recent events - i went to okinawa for 3 nights which was fan-bloody-tastic!! the beaches were beautiful, the atmosphere was great and i enjoyed just buying a whole bunch of useless, cute things lol. i spent more than i expected, but what the hell. also went to the aquarium there which kicks osaka's aquarium's ass ANY DAY! it was amazing. got to see a dolphin show too, where stupid me, accidentally deleted the photos that i took that day *CRIES* but that's ok, i got some photos from mengmeng <3

i also got to go to a highschool baseball match a few days ago @ koshien! *yey* i have always read about koshien in mangas and seen them in anime, so to be able to go to that stadium was just exciting lol. the enthusiasm and hype about highschool baseball was also far from my imagination too. they have a goods store that sells MERCHANDISE for these highschool baseball teams! hahahah i just couldn't believe it - like wow.

the tickets were all sold out too for the whole day when we went, but we were lucky to get some seats *for free * :D afterawhile. we kinda had to struggle our way through and find a spot to stand where we weren't in other people's way, but eventually some people left or something and then we scored some seats. it was really hot that day too so under the scorching sun was difficult, but thanks to that i am finally BROWN!! HOHOHO...and slightly burned >_> hahah but that's ok! i have never really cared whether i was fair/tanned but since coming here, i've become a lot more determined to tan mainly because i can't believe how fast i toast here lol. if i've already started to turn brown then why not go all the way ;D ~ the cheerleading teams for each school were also fantastic lol. they had their own bands and stuff and everyone were just really into it haha - that's japan for you!

anyways, i've posted most of my pictures up on photobucket, so u can go here http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t122/jesslynchan/

it's A LOT faster to upload in bulk *-* photobucket ftw!~! here are just a few, but this blogging site sucks. everytime i do something, the formatting of my post goes all crazy -_- pisses me off.

ok well i'm in the process of uploading videos, so if you can be bothered, check my photobucket later~~~ tenjin matsuri video is a must see! hanabi~~

久しぶりのポスト

i've been putting off posting mainly because i've been too lazy haha. but i figured i better update now after having such a long period of silence. the weather here is horrible. HUMID! it's disgusting. i feel grotty everyday :(

anyways, photo time~ this was a couple of days ago when i went with evelyn and babara to the boys' dorm (at 2am!) to watch the soccer match when netherlands was playing russia. sadly, netherlands lost *cries* but it was a fun night either way. i got to play table tennis! ended up getting home at like 730am and slept for two hours before i went out with evelyn again to go shopping x_x

i took these photos for you bryan! last time you said you wanted to see how my area looks like and this is pretty much it haha. and yes, i do live across the road from the cemetary.

i took this photo yesterday just cos i thought the clouds looked pretty haha. but that's pretty much how the weather has been like lately - overcast, rainy, HUMID *dies*

i went to eat indian food today with jennifer. just look at how big those nan bread are! *-* for the record, my meal (the one with two pieces of cheese nan) was 1000 yen~

evelyn cutting jurjen's hair haha. i decided to sit there and watch to see the finished product *points below* :D

the next set of photos are from a couple (?) of weeks ago when it was ken's birthday. zenna decided to throw him a surprise party (awww)

terasaki and self portraits...lovely isn't it haha.

look how cool those icy poles are! they are so cute! totally looks like you're eating an iced watermelon/honeydew. pity that it didn't taste anything like it though haha. the watermelon ones even had red beans in it to make it look like watermelon seeds XD

a couple of korean girls went too! chang and son. they are so cute haha ~ always smiley and so friendly <3>

zenna cooked that night. this was one of his dishes - meatballs! yum *-*

ken @ the ripe age of 25!

i couldn't resist. the boys' dorm is nice...but the kitchen is filthy haha. this is just an example of it haha.

viktor and tomaaaaa hahah...his name is really thomas but he's french, so i asked him how to pronounce it in the french way and well, i just call him that now. it's way off from the french pronunciation though ^^;;

samuel and evelyn~

SURPRISE! ken just came from playing table tennis by the way haha.

zenna doing dishes *thumbs up*

this was in math class - yes, "the joy of doing math" haha.

shiozaki~ i didn't end up going to the gospel concert at the church but i did go afterwards to eat ;D ~ it was a korean church and well, i have to say that the moment i walked in i felt like i was back in jeonju again lol. exactly the same as the churches in south korea ;o

a turtle named roger...

went to karaoke today with mengmeng, shiso and wendy <3 karaoked for about 4 hours and it ended up being about 400 yen each! and that's including a drink each too hahah. cheap *-*

but the funniest thing would have to be those 'home made' pvs hahaha. they are not really home made i guess, but it's more like a 'creative' take on things :x hahaha. for example, we were singing yuki no hana and guess where the bloody karaoke lyrics came up?? it was -the- most random things haha...the lyrics were coming up as part of a text message on a mobile phone LOL, on top of a birthday cake, written on mugs, in the snow or in the reflection of the pond or whatever hahaha. it was absolutely ridiculous hahahah.

shiso~~風のうた! hunter x hunter FTW *-*

mengmeng ~~ やっぱり、中島みかだねーXD *ヒューヒュー*

ok for some reason i can't type underneath the photo with wendy haha. but that's wendy below~~こ・ど・も（笑）

shiso singing XD~~

zenna, evelyn and the (now named, roger) turtle haha...this day was pretty eventful. was walking back to the dorms with zenna and evelyn cos i needed to change shoes and what do you know? we see a turtle...in the middle of no where hahaha. we were wondering how it got there in the first place. it was pretty far away from any form of water o_o

anyways, they decided to put it back into the pond...lake or whatever you want to call that thing near our dorms lol. the water is filthy...but anyways, that's besides the point haha. so zenna ended up carrying the turtle back lol. i filmed it. it's below - so enjoy :)

poor thing was so scared that it fully hid its head into his shell ;o

the birth of "roger"

i ended up going to see the gospel performance at toyonaka campus on monday, i think it was. only one of the singers came and she was from korea. the above (and below) clip is part of the romeo x juliet anime OP by lena park *-* ... i haven't heard that song in awhile so hearing it at this performance made me feel all nostalgic *sigh---*

i also got my hair cut too on the day roger was born haha. 4200 yen! i pretty much look the same; in fact exactly lol. but the staff were all really friendly. even if they were just doing their job to be polite and weren't genuine, it still made me feel happy lol. i think i will go back there cos i got this coupon card that gives me 50% discount off my next cut if i get a friend to go. that friend also gets 50% off too haha. i ended up giving it to mengmeng xD~ oh and the chick who cut my hair also said that i could go in to get my fringe cut for free....FREE! lol how awesome is that? *am thinking of abusing it*

common cafe

i haven't taken photos in awhile which is why i haven't posted lately haha. but i decided to blog now since i have new photos^^ there's not a lot but at least it's still something xD~~~

this is shiozaki~~ about two-three weeks ago when i was waiting for evelyn at the library, she approached me asking me if i wanted to go to a gospel concert lol. i was really confused because i was thinking "why me" haha so i thought they were trying to like promote some club activity or something. it didn't turn out to be anything like that haha, but anyways we ended up exchanging contact details and she was nice enough to email me twice on two different occasions asking me if i could make it for the gospel concert and twice i declined ><;;

so i felt bad! i didn't want her to think that i was making up excuses to not go so i asked if she'd like to meet at another time and so we met on thursday. at first i was a little hesitant cos i didn't know what i was going to talk to her about, but funnily enough i was able to talk to her just fine lol...i talked to her like for FIVE HOURS LOL. pretty good for a first meeting eh!

then she told me that there's going to be two performances at toyonaka campus next week so i think i'll check it out^^

evelyn is a dork haha ~ even though she said she wasn't going to go out cos she had to finish her thesis, i (the bad influence) made her go out twice already lol. thank you for coming out with me tonight!!

kumiko and her new hairstyle haha. kawaii desho! i ended up going to that bar thing that kumiko invited me to. it was actually quite fun. most of them could speak spanish so it was a pity that i couldn't understand! and everyone was so internationally inclined and nice XD

evelyn came with me haha. well i thought it would be nice for her too cos she can speak spanish. good practice!

this guy is a bartender but he also performs as well. this wasn't the first time that these people have gotten together, so i think it's always like this. you go to the bar, drink/eat/chat then listen to him play haha. he was actually pretty good. he had like a folk-like genre. his voice was nice~~

some of the other people who were there. susanna and norio (?) are both spanish, but yukiko can also speak spanish too ~~

other japanese people who were there. youhei and keiko i think it was. their english was pretty good T_T ...i hope my japanese can be like that one day lol *jealous*
