Tiff Chang: jotto, jotto jotto.

I've been obsessing on the weirdest thing's lately.. example(s); my nails, the scratches on my macbook, and my new potato chip maker.

my new potato chip maker

its very strange.

thing's in tokyo have been relaxing and fun. it really really sucks that i have to go back to new york.. and once i'm back.. its no fun and games.. its back to work al la' mode. this is how it goes: i feel like thanksgiving is a little teaser for winterbreak because you only get what? four days? and spring break serves as a cliffhanger for summer.. just when your getting used to putting your toes high up in the air while you watch re-runs of cheesy japanese sitcoms.. parsons just hits you like a running school bus. out of no where. BAM!

ok. sorry.

my favorites

its not even summer yet
so... Will, Riko, Hatsumi and I have just basically been bouncing around the delirious tokyo streets and its been crazzzzy. i had my third bullet train experience yesterday when we made a little trip to yokohama (outskirts of tokyo) and we left late afternoon for my partttttyyyyy. I haven't thrown a party in a while, in fact, last time i thought i threw a party was probably summer in italy when my mom left.. as usual, tiffany drank one too much and turned into a glowing asian tomato. tiz' was lovely.

my lunch in yokohama

picture perfect sushi meal eh eh?
I've also taken into a realization that I only write on my blog when i travel and its been kept into a consistancy that i write most when i do travel and when i'm in new york, its usually either
a) dark and gloomy
b) two sentences
c) how much i dread parsons hw
or
d) a picture of a beautiful man that i will never have.

just an observation.

toe's with camels.

so. RIKO GOT A KITTY YESTERDAY and its probably the cutest thing ever.. just as cute as my adopted cat 2 years ago (if you don't remember, i bought a cat for my grandpapa.. its basically the housekeeper's cat now) Riko's kitty is named sutoroberi or, ichigo, which means strawberry in nihonponese. so cute. so cute. cute so.

strawberry

sutoroberri

before the happenings of my party, which was a good turnout (20-30ish ppl) hatsumi and i went to this weird rave/fashion party that was on Cho-Ku (just a walk from my place) and it was crazy.. i didn't realize how big drugs was (as in my generation) here. blah.

boogers.

another thing. two days ago, my grampappy brought me to the temple and it was so nicceeeee. i love spending time with him. le sigh*

temple.

oh yes. so here are the things to look forward to when i get back to ny (this makes me feel better when i think about these things)
1. my friends. (the best)
2. CRYSTAL CASTLE CONCERT

3. the UCC computer lab filled with hot beautiful boys (no joke)

so as promised, here are pictures. most of these pictures are all taken at random times and random moments.

this is where i grew up.

yokohama exploration

this was really awkward. the man is just sitting there with two fake dolls looking into the pond. there was no water or fish inside the tank. awwwkkwward.
