Japanese gals are really kawaii eh..?? yes.. i have friends like that.. so they really make me feel like a fat slob at times.  I sometimes wonder if they have mixed heritage.. since Japan was filled with American soldiers during the WWII.  For woman like myself.. with no mix heritage..i keep slim by reading up orovo detox reviews to find the right stuff to use to keep slim and beautiful.  Of course, i envy my kawaii friends.. who wouldn’t right.. ?? but they are not those unhealthy envy .. but moreso, the type.. where i try to better myself.

My japanese friend Tsuchiyama loves TVB shows like Gem of Life Episode 8 but since she can’t watch it regularly.. i downloaded it on Y.O.U. tube for her.  I knows she really like these Cantonese shows.. and I understand.. that there are some Japanese like her.. who loves Chinese shows.. from Hong Kong . .because they are actually from Hong Kong originally.  When i was in Japan many years ago.. i did see lots of Hong Kong ppl.. and Malaysians.. who migrated there.. and now another blogging friend of mine from Philippines is also there.  Well.. anyhow.. if you want to watch Gem of Life Episode 8 .. just hop over to this blog.

When it comes to fashion and trends no one beats the Japanese. If you have been to Japan or have Japanese friends you will understand the above statement and will never dispute that with me.  When you bring your Japanese friend for shopping in the United States they are able to tell you what is the real bargain and that you cannot trade quality when it come to dressing up.

Whenever most of my male friends from Japan go shopping with me, they would tell me that they would never buy anything less than the best when it comes to wool coats.   Mens wool coats are very important not only because it keeps them warm but also because you will never find a Japanese in our American office dressed shabbily. The Japanese believe that its a form of respect to dress well. A good overcoat not only carries one thru’ a casual event but a formal one as well, and with the new breath thermo technology incorporated into their wool coats you know that they also keep you warm during the long winter days we have here. This advanced technology works in such a way that when the weather gets colder, it keeps you warmer.  As expensive as they are, I remember my grandmother saying that you get what you pay for.

Japanese girls are naughty too eh.. and not just the western gals..!  Kyoko Sasaki, the popular tv announcer for Fuji .. Japan tv station .. is 4 months pregnant.. and getting married next month.  But the difference between Kyoko and the western gals here.. she is 35 while they are 15 .. *nod*. The father of her child is also 35 and not 15 as well but if you all do not remember.. Kyoko Sasaki was divorced in 2006.  I met Kyoko Sasaki.. very briefly ..during a cocktail. .where i was a long staying guest in one of the hotels in Tokyo.  Very briefly .. like i said.. and at that time.. i didn’t know who she was.. till we left.  But she was nice.. and kinda.. shy and didn’t really speak very much  english.  However.. i wish her the best.. and congratulations.. about the baby.

Yes..! they are japanese girls.. with emo trend they called it.  I kid you not.. you get to see a lot of them. .on Sundays.. they come out in flocks..!!  I do admire their bravery.. but i often wonder what are they trying to proof….?? Silk ties and pink hair and white boots..  i think they wanna emulate those manga characters.  Are all Japanese teens this way..?? no .. not all.. but for such a conservative country and culture.. i was kinda shocked at first.. but not anymore now.

Adult Manga is a popular thing in Japan.. and all parts of Japan and btw .. whenever i go to Japan for work, i get requests from my engineers back home to bring some back.  These magazines ain’t cheap at all.. and truth be told.. you wonder why anyone .. besides the japs wants to read an adult manga  right..?? afterall, they are written in Japanese only..! no translation ok..!!   This one is at $14 .. and it’s actually like a magazine.

My friend Chiko- San has just gotten a job in the USA and she and her whole family is moving there together.  We all know that moving or relocating is no fun and needs a lot of work and planning.  She is very excited but was getting stressful too because she didn’t know who can help her or how she can move everything from Japan to the US.

A good place to start for someone like Chiko-San is Relocation.com.  They have the resources and information you need for your move.  On this site you can find all the information you need, from buying a new house, moving, renting an apartment or even get some mortgage info.  Need a shipping quote? No problem!  They have all the info for folks like Chiko-san who is moving internationally.

Gem of Life Episode 5 is my friend from Japan favorite.  Tsuichiyama cannot seems to watch it on Megavideo .. so I download it on Y.O.U. Tube for him to watch.  I know he is crazy about this tvb series. .and he would write very nicely to ask for the link.. and if i could get him the Y.O.U.  Tube version.  Tsuchiyama is of mixed blood i think.. but no matter what.. i know that the crazy chinese woman will take care of you.

Signs are everywhere, not only in the west but also in Japan, almost any part of Japan as a matter of fact. But do I see more here in the west? Of course! We own a business and we know how much a good and attractive sign can do for our business.

When we were looking to buy a new house, we did use a real estate agent but the yard signs on the houses for sale, well, they were more enticing than those that we found online and yes we really did buy our house from the yard sign “House for Sale”. It’s amusing when one thinks about it, these signs really impact our lives in some way. Take for example our town council election recently, when we saw the current mayor not having as many signs up as the new mayoral candidate, we did feel that the new guy was out to get the job while the current one slacked off and just assumed he’d keep his seat. But guess who won the election? Yup! The new guy. So yes, I said, the signs did play a part in that town council election.
