Dude, his name is Kyohei....

Sept. 3 Thursday

So I had a failed game with the 1st year high school students called the Meishi game and the students were so lazy and kinda unwilling to play the game but I still kept the spirit of the game going. However, the boys got a kick out of it when I exchanged my meishi with theirs. They would exclaim "やった！もらったぜ！”when they received mine. lol haha. Hopefully that's a good thing. After the game, Mr. Gorgeous told me not to worry about it because the 1st years are still like little kids and are childish so I shouldn't worry about the game not going as planned. He's so sweet and reassuring....DOES HE HAVE A GF!??? lol And then after that I went to the elementary.

Again, I had nothing to do today at the elementary so I ended up wandering around. I went into the 2nd grade class and was very surprised to see not the cute pregnant teacher but a handsome male teacher in the class instead. He saw me come in and was wondering if I needed anything. He's never seen me before because it was his first day teaching today. He's replacing the cute pregnant teacher because she's taking a maternity leave. Aww...I loved that woman too. But it's okay if the guy replacing her is handsome too you know. haha. The kids were excited to see me as usual and I'm always weirdly excited when I see my lil kiddies. But other than that I'm just going to pass the time until my girl's night out with my fav middle school teachers.

At 7pm Hayashi-san came to pick me up in her wonderfully smelling car. It was comfortable too. =P Masutani-san was already in the car and then we went to go pick up cute Iwata-san. And off we went to Shibetsu city. We went to this hole in the wall Izakaya which turned out to be the best izakaya I've been to so far. Their food was ridiculously good. Like I can have that everyday and I'd be happy. We had fried squid rings, beef tataki with wasabi-butter sauce (AMAZING!!!!), soft cabbage with butter and salt (it sounds so simple but tastes like heaven), raw ham salad, and pork fried rice, and thick Taiwan style pork/bacon thingy. It's hard to describe what it is. It' just really fatty with thick meat. lol Just trust me, it's good. AMAZING! *O* And it was all you can drink. So we loaded up on alcohol galore. lol We ended up gossiping like crazy and I found out so many different things about the teachers. We even started giving nicknames to all the teachers with one of them being called "baldy" the other one called "balding". lol

We've also labeled each other. Hayashi-san is the funky teacher, Masutani-san is the abnormal one, Iwata-san is the one who spaces out all the time, and I'm the shiny sparkly one cuz apparently to them I'm super genki all the time and they feel like my aura is always shiny....lol キラキラな感じ。。。haha. I laughed so hard and so much this night I almost cried. Everyone was kinda tipsy especially Hayashi-san. And i dont' know why either, but when I'm with these ladies my Japanese becomes pretty good. =P Hmm..I need to be around them more. Iwata-san said that if I ever have time I can always look her up to go hang out and stuff. YAY! Oh...and then we started talking about penises and how Hayashi-san likes long and hard ones.....XD I love these women. We're so weird when we're all together. haha. Anyways we finished talking eating and stuff at 12am. Yeah from 7:30 until then. We had too much fun. Anyways, since Hayashi-san was kinda tipsy, Masutani-san's husband came to pick us up in his Prius. And damn was he a good looking man. Perfect body, nice deep voice, and is super caring. All the women in the car were telling me about him during dinner. lol Man, Masutani-san's a lucky woman. Her little son who is at the nursery is very smart and active too. Good family. JEALOUS! =P But it was a wonderful wonderful night.

Sept. 4 Friday

Today was another fun day at the middle school. Actually starting thursday the days have become shorter because of the middle school festival. All the students are really busy preparing for this festival. And I'm so crazy excited to be able to be a part of it. I have been asked by the head teacher to come up with a routine to teach 10 of the middle school students which I think will be all girls because the boys are loathe to do anything besides sports it seems, as ikemen as they are. On top of that the elementary festival is next month and I've been asked to come up with a routine for them too....so I've been really busy lately coming up with routines. And to add to that I also have to come up with lesson plans for the elementary school and high school...I haven't had much sleep lately. I'm still trying my best to keep this blog updated, but as you can tell it's been about 3 days since I've updated and that's a long while away from when I usually update. So I apologize for that and any other time this will occur in advance. It's because when I get home I usually just want to pass out I'm so tired. I didn't think I was going to do this much as a JET, but I don't regret it. I love my job. Actually, all my jobs I've had I love now that I think about it. hehe. <3

Anyways, during school time I was allowed to practice my routines and stuff in the second floor music room. While I was practicing I faced the windows so you could imagine the shock I had when I turned around and saw a couple of my students peering in and watching me from the two doors in the room. I was a little surprised to see them and it was during a turn in my routine that I had noticed them and so I lost balance and fell backwards causing some of the boys who were watching me to laugh. But they all gave me thumbs up and clapped in approval. Or I hope it was approval. lol Then when I was sitting in my office and some of the kids came in busy doing stuff for the festival one of the boys who had watched me dance and didn't usually talk to me started talking to me...I was like "YAY!! TALK TO ME MORE!!" lol I love it when my students talk to me in English or Japanese though sometimes I don't know what they're talking about and will just cock my to the side and make a sound like "eh?" lol

After classes were over I decided to call up Su so that we could go to Shibetsu for foods. We went to the fancy restaurant on top of the hill. The restaurant looked like a large modern cottage with lights shining from within on top of a dark hill with no light around it whatsoever. Su said it looked like the saving light of a cottage in the dark woods. haha. The inside was so modern looking and looked like it would be a super expensive place, but it wasn't. It was normal food but with higher quality and a fair price. And lamb with everything. In fact there's sheep grazing outside but it was too dark to see anything. But I know that we're eating the meat very fresh. Su kept saying "little lamb, we're going to eat you now. I know there's alot of you out there waiting to be eaten by us. ^^" lol She's sooo funny and cute. Everytime after that when we see any sheep stuffed animals or etc. she would say "oh we just ate you." =P Then we went back to Kenbuchi.

Ayako (the shrine priestess's daughter who is quite the drinker) wanted to go drinking with us in Kenbuchi so Su and I headed to Sawarabi. At Sawarabi we called up Tama-chan (the 5-6 year old class's teacher at the nursery) to come drink with us. There was more gossip and stuffs and then I was invited to go to the 30 years old and under camping party in Nayoro the weekend after next. It's for all the people who are younger than 30 who work in the town hall. And the youngest is Yuki-kun who's only 20!!! I was shocked! I was like "WHA!? There's someone younger than me there?" He's like a cute little brother then. haha. I started falling asleep halfway in and so decided to return back home. I felt rude, but they said it was okay because I was super tired looking. Thank you girls! Two drinking nights in a row I can take, but it was because I had school and classes those days so needless to say I was pooped.

Sept. 5 Saturday

Asahikawa goodness today! Su decided to show me the way to Asahikawa via my car today. We left at 12 and got to Asahikawa at 1pm. Now I know how to get there. Yay! But it really does take an hour. If I could drive like my normal speed in the states it would only take me 1/2 an hour. But I don't mind. The scenery is beautiful from Kenbuchi-Asahikawa. We went to Aeon/Jusco. The large-ass one. Like we spent 5 hours in there it was so huge. lol We went to a variety of shops, looked at shoes and clothes and ate wonderous foods. We had amazing ramen for lunch, then had chestnut and green tea ice cream crepes, takoyaki and then individual parfaits. Man...I'm going on a diet after this day. I need to be good to my body if I want to look sexy in those heels that I will be buying after payday. Yeah, I swear I'm going to buy like 3-4 pairs of shoes. They're ridiculously cute and unique. Lately, all I've been wearing are heels unless I'm practicing my dance or working out of some sort. So i'm getting used to wearing them again. And those clothes too! Losing weight now. lol

So I went to Tower Records and found the sexy limited edition DBSK book of hot love!!! It's their photo album from when they were in Saipan. The book is Korean with Japanese and English translations. Yay for that! But the English translation is adorable, it's not really proper English. You can totally understand what it's aying, but it has the Asian feel of cuteness to it's translation. haha. I don't know how to describe it, but that's how it is. =P I didn't care that it was 4560yen. I just wanted it. lol So then I went up to the register to check out. The guy at the register looked like Mizushima Hiro! He's the guy who was Nanba in the Hana Kimi drama and was also in Mei-chan no Shitsuji as the butler. The guy at the register was pretty hot I have to say. So my eyes were wandering around and I saw his name tag. And get this, EAP buddies, his name is Kyohei!!!! It was written in romanji! He had it in Kanji and below it romanji so I was able to read it! DUDE! Kyohei!!! I was like, "seriously?" You're the first guy I thought was hot all day (even though there were alot of ikemen at AEON) and your name tag happened to have Romanji on it and I happened to look at it and I happened to have done the drama where the bad boy type's name was Kyohei and you are Kyohei!!! LOL I just couldn't help but keep smiling after that. I thought it was funny. So that is what a real life Kyohei looks like. If I have a son, I want to name him that. haha. It's a hot name I think and if he'll grow up to look hot and be a bad boy type than I'm down for that name. haha. *sigh* I feel shallow...lol But I think it's funny.

Anyways, after AEON we decided to go back to Kenbuchi...and then wanted soft ice cream. So we searched around town and then decided to go over to Shibetsu to see if anything was opened and found the cafe that sold these beautifully delicious parfaits until 9pm! We were like YES!!! I had a matcha zenzai parfait and Su had Chocobanana. I LOVE MATCHA! Anyways, today was a superfun but tiring day of alot of driving. Oh, and speaking of driving, the gas for me for a full tank from empty was only 2780yen! I was surprised and super happy! Yay for a cheap car! lol Just don't break down on me now...

Anyways, good days. Now I'm heading off to sleep and will post more about monday the 7th tomorrow. G'night and otsukare-sama!
