updates on koala

geez, its already September...and i realized that IM GONNA BE BACK IN PV SOON! (in 2 days to be exact!) its been a while since my last blog so i thought id catch up and update a bit.

Things been good. been busy in a way but just felt like time flew by in a blink of an eye.

The month of August was pretty good I'd say. Got to tackle some places I wanted to go check out, some stuff Ive had in mind, so let's just say i "kept busy"...which is always a good thing. =)

finished Becky's Bridal shower cards back in July..all set and ready. and I did the Bridal Tea cards, also....DONE. =)

Just the other day I heard this awesome song at the gym and found out that Sting sang with Sheryl Crow....love it. its amazing. ...so, okay... staying cool in air-conditioned malls and what not wasnt too shabby....haaa.

**EXCURSIONS**
i guess ive experienced the BIGGEST EVENT on my "to-do list": KABUKI!!!!!!!EBIZO-kun!
I got the ticket to see EBIZOU (guess he is known as the hottie of the Kabuki world, haa he is only 31, not bad!) starring as GOEMON, a japanese-style Robin Hood (as I would relate) who robbed from the rich and helped the poor back then in history. The story was great. I had NO CLUE whatsoever what they were saying, but i saw the whole show as an "art form" rather than understanding the script. this show was a blast.

*theres me with the ticket before the show. haha, i had asked the worker there to take this for me on my cell.
And there he is, the poster, Mr. EBIZOU. =)

*before the show - the stage already looks very asian. great. loved the design.

Walked by this huge CLOVER plant....the same one that Becky gave me before. this one was purple-ish. aww.

*went on thie TAIYAKI adventure, and went to look for this "Flat Taiyaki". Interesting.
(Kanda, Ogawamachi-station)

*Shibamata adventure- Tora-san:

a lil-down-home area in tokyo. very at-home district. Ive been wanting to check it out and it was just neat. had lil shops around.

the famous statue that stands proudly at the station, Mr. TORAJIRO-san.

He is somewhat a Japanese legend in the Japan's hollywood world.(?)

and thank goodness for the HIRAGANA and the English...!

funny how this depicted the actor the BEST more than any other illustrations and portraits of him. LOL.

*amazing carving job....amazing history of art.

the entire temple is made in the style where its using only 1 block of wood being carved in.

*these are lil gifts I got from Keiko-sama's sister, Hideko-san.
Tokyo Tower Cookies and 5-yen coin cookie...!
ありがとうございました！みてみて、５円といっしょにとりました。ご縁がありますように。

＊Other random events and shot:

*got to check out my oldest brother at his baseball league at one weekend. He used to play baseball in highschool, so it was a neat experience to catch him in this type of situation. bro-sis bonding. LOL but hot as heck that day.....

*found a cute Kyoto-based ice cream shop in SHINJYUKU station. gosh, this station is just INSANE, always feel like getting lost. but the green tea soft serve with black sesame paste....yummm

*found a shrine/temple as I was wondering around Tokyo for an Art critique. Never see this in LA...randomly passing by residential area and run into a shrine. LOL
