With today realising i had 37 days left of Japan-ness i felt a growing sadness leaving these great peoples xD... sure i have been pissed off and stuff but it was all worth while and the friends i have made are like why arent you staying - which felt good.... really good :p;

Also since i havent updated recently

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Life in a UFO CATCHER
-----------------------------------------------------------------

So i had a day out on the sunday I was supposed to be studying ;D yay xD I went to Tenjin and i had planned to go looking for gifts while looking at bags since i have as of recently wanted a shoulder bag type for when im in Uni, since backpacks ehh thats preschools ;D though during High school times xD i backpacked it biaches ....

anyway i went to Loft, a store which has everything its more like an IKEA with stationary and toys and clothes store inside and beauty products and stuffs xD its like everything store... everyday they have some lottery and its free to enter xD i won a chocolate.. the dud prize of course xD

THEN I WENT TO Animate a japanese animation store - selling everything from manga to collector goods to cosplay goods xD hence the title ;p i entered the store and there were otakus everywhere, there were more girls then guys ironically, so many dam fangirls in one place.... at the moment REBORN seems to be selling alot while i was there... i also saw like 30 year old wives club saying that a final fantasy Moogle was cute and they wanted it XD and stuff i was like calm down xD ... i also saw some older men but it was usually around 15-25 year old surplus xD........ i bought expensive gifts (KINGDOM HEARTS Related) for friends *cough* Asian Amy and Kaley xD *cough* they shall get no birthday present because of it ;D

all the staff members where assholes - otakus xD and the shelves were all retarded and everything not much left over... everything seemed like a scavenger hunt for the good collector goods xD and i left once since i couldnt decide whether to buy a cheaper present but i knew that they would love the one i bought so i spurlged on my friends... i ate subway along the way and the staff were laughing oddly prob because half the time i was like uhhh *not knowing i was a foreigner* they laughed and stuff kind of rude... even if it wasnt directed at me.

anyway xD i bought 2 gifts, like 3 more friend presents to go xD....

On Friday afternoon, I went home from school earlier because I had a fever and yep..... It was influenza, dont you just love having high fevers with coughing and runny nose and all that crapola of crapness..

I am now in the final recovery stage though. joy to me i guess.

Day 1: Infection

So by the time i got home i had like a temperature of 36.9 which is abit elevated then i fell asleep like instantly since i thought maybe some sleep will make this fever go away... it didnt ;D anyway, when i woke up it was around 6pmish and dinner was being prepared i still had my fever ..... of course... i think around this time my fever slightly went up... to around 37...

Day 2: Deaths Door ;D

Day 2 was the worst day out of all my time in Japan evar..... in the morning i ate breakfast with my biach of a fever and then went to the doctors and paid 12000 yen for medicine and diagnosis ;D joy .... and having some sort of pipe cleaner shoved into your nasal cavity is not fun indeed ;D - the test for influenza is that.. xD then i drank the medicine and then i slept for like 1 hour ish then vomitted ;D twice ;D then my fever rose to like 39.0 degrees the highest it has ever gone D: and then the whole day you feel a beating pain in your forehead and i noticed that my heart beat was beating quite faster then usual. and that beating pain was a serious bitch and it kept me up at night and tears keep coming out of my eyes since they felt  really dry or some sort of retarded moisture build up crap.. xD

Day 3: The Prison :D

day 3 its the longest time i have been in the same room for this much time dam quarantine stuff xD and i just practically much slept all the time and eat when food was given and then suffered from fever which went back to like 37 ish... zzzz the whole day was watching anime on TV till around 10am then from 10-12pm was like game show then pretty much sleep then TV then DS then TV then Sleep ohh and times everything by toilet lollers....

Day 4 & 5 : Salvation & Ressurection? - To be continued lawls?

Anyway yesterday was the last day i spent in my room prison and it was the same with day 3 but this time i had well a tiny slight fever.. but otherwise (cracking head open feeling - thought about it .. XD stops the pain right?) pain free and today i was allowed to use the computer so that was pretty much the difference but also i was allowed to come among the normal people ;D

During my whole influenza experience i havent ever experienced delusions of any kind...

HOWEVER my host brother and sister who had influenza had delusions >...> why cant i have delusions the only part of influenza i was looking forward too in a way ;p...

Host brothers delusions

1. At first he was in the quarantine room and he called out for host mum and he really really wanted to drink tea or something but he was all panicky about it and then after awhile he started calling out for host dad and asked him to give him his eye or something because he really needed it haha... xD then he randomly walked around the house while the family was trying to stop him *verbally saying stop* not like physical  or anything then i went to sleep laughing ;D

2. I didnt see it but he thought he was some sort of prince or king or somethign and he couldnt do it properly and was really worried about it so host mum told me Xd

Host sisters delusions

She thought ultraman was trying to get her and take her away.. at first she came storming into the living room and then fell splat on teh floor and was like dont let ultraman get me xD everyone was pretty much wtf. ;D

Teh end of influenza?


OR  IS IT ?!?!?!

So today was club but yesterday i was just dying there... because it so fudgen cold and i dont have any clothes for that kind of weather so i went shopping, how rare for me, of course it was all planned out and being a lazy bastard before going out. but anyway

The things i had to do today:

• Find Clothes to wear under the kyudo uniforms
• renew train ticket
• buy new gloves - lost my ones on the first day i took them out again... for winter wtf... xD

The first thing that i did was renew my train ticket. stopping at a book store to check for VOL 7 of my manga i needzors!! xD haha.... it wasnt there and it was pretty much bread and butter buy ticket go home after that i went to ask my host parentals for ideas and they were like go to GU some super discount store and i was like yeah sure ;D since what asian doesnt like discount stores xD... seriously... and the path to go to GU was straight forward but i somehow got lost ;D since im pro like that.... It was just supposed to go straight all the way but i was on the wrong side of the road and went into some inlet in the road xD and ended up going to a further away clothes store- Uniqlo which is like Japan equivalent to JayJays WITHOUT THE BOGANS xD thank god-

then from there i went south since i found my way back again, and went on a detour to a Right On- the Cooler more Bogan version of UNIQLO- *i bought something not on my todo list haha.... i bought a beanie hat ;D i have always wanted one and seriously hats dont suit me my head is like retarded and can only be covered with beanie type hats - e.g. elastic ;D- otherwise its more like OH GOD WHY * eyes explode if i wear a hat of normalness...- then i went to a simple book/video store which i then looked for a 3 year planner for my Mum - christmas present- but yardy the ones i found were only HUUUGGEEE or like retarded set up and just fails.. xD...

then i finally made it to my destination, - GU and i bought the long sleeve shirt for kyudo and yay get back to homes to eatzors...

short post for all you unactive bastards ;D - like i have been -

So yesterday was the end of my second last test in Japan, I super studied this time for writing test.. Jap-Eng translation, and i know i got one wrong so that sucks since i was aiming to get 100%. But anyhow ill just have to settle for 99% haha....everyones like asif lawls.... as of teh late i have grown closer to my jap friends.. well more so accepted me but its kinda late haha... alot of them thought that i would be there till they graduate but i come home during Christmas season ish

The Train Regulars

The weird bald guy in the train, that rushes for the middle and if theres a seat he might not sit down and if someone does he kind of talks to himself.

the big angry highschool girl- she kind of loss some weight i think xD lawls...

I havent seen Red soxs everyday guy - *wears red soxs clothing everyday* seriously.. at least when i see him..

then theres.... adventurous oji-chan - adventurous old man dude xD - he always gets on the train and is kind of rich imo i think. he has some money from what clothes he wears...

Newspaper kaisha - newspaper company man - he sometimes sleeps and wears a suit normally board the same train.

Haha thats all i can remember for now...

Hahaha.... Since there was Golden week then there was Sliver week only this year and Then woot!! Bronze Week due to ninensei being infested with influenza haha, its not swine flu anymore its just influenza ;D there was like 20 people with influenza in the second years = ninenseitachi anyway...

That was from this week tuesday. October 6th and we got a another week off and the tests were pushed back for another week. which is teh god send if you ask me. As of teh late i have been feeling really down and out of it recently. and just cbb seriously.. and on that day i was like.... Bah i might just take a week off and BANG influenza ;D lawls...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mychelles Spear Tackle Dream ;D
------------------------------------------------------------------------

So today i had a dream that i was in School and been wanting to see my friends and crap *probably dreams are intrepreted* and then i went to the office for some reason and then outside I suddenly saw my friends in the school ground during lunch time.. but oddly enough no one in jap goes outside for lunch i mean like in the grounds... anyhoots.. since they havent noticed me yet i thought id sneak up on them, James Mychelle and forgotten person through waking up, but somehow James was like THERE HE IS xD

then suddenly Mychelle ultra speed ran up to me and spear tackled me down onto some grass xD and then james came after.. we talked the 4 of us but yeah it was just catching up..

Hansel: Where is Gretel?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I was helping some old OLD lady on the train coming home from school because she was 90+ and kind of senial to say the least. This was awhile back but yeah.... anyway there was some delay in the trains *unusual for japan* and then the express train turned into a local train so she thought she was going to get off straight away due the the next express stop was her home. She invited me to come to her house because she said something about her family being busy and all grown up, half the time i was just nodding because seriously old people are harder to understand and you have to be all graceful to elders and crap.

But all in all she was a nice lady, she didnt give me any candy but i thought the title of this post was cool ;D haha

Next times Prob from the past host families house.

Recently i have gotten tanned as ;p...

yay to a non cancerous sun, also besides the fact that i was a white computer asian for one thing....


Yay! tan woo ........... wow gay lol................. just nothing really to post..

till next time readers... population

4ish people?
 

The title means, The best sports festival.

Anyhooo i had my undoukai on sunday September 13th It rained on the 12th so that obviously got canceled ;p and seriously it was my best day ever in Japan. It was so much fun, it was so pumped with energy if we tried half as hard as these japs everyone would be OMGWTFBBQ?

All the grueling practice was made well worth the 1 day of kndaksndkasd ness i think... sure i hated it at first and thought it would probably be easier to die then to do it. but In the end it came down to a moral question for me. whether or not i would quit and regret it or do it and if i fail die trying as the saying goes....sure i had my breakdowns, not to the point of crying but like maybe shooting everyone breakdown ..... sigh no weapon so i gave up lol... nah but it was just like feeling of just giving up is all im not that crazy or am i *tehhe? lame XD*

So pretty much waking up at 5:30am everyday going to morning practice at like 7:30 and then there might be classes or whole day practices at a time.. and seriously it was gahhhhh xD and getting home at like 8pm eatting then sleeping, because i cannot survive without at least 6hours i think is my max haha...

So finally the day had come when it would all end. closing in on the end i had a change of heart i was like i want to take pictures and was all hunky dory? FIRST TIME EVER USED THAT WORD ;p and i got some so that was cool... im lazy so ill upload them later. The first thing that i was doing, was creation, it wasnt full perfected like 100% since people were absent and crap like that and it was full of MEN doing MANLY STUFF ? the first part was me being lifted into the air like standing on someones knees while the person i was standing on was in a sitting in chair position. i was supposed to be the bottom but i dont have enough strength for that crapola ;D xD so the poor jap person was dying in my fat BODY the next part of the act was doing matrix pose, one hand on the ground and one in the air. The last part of the routine was the pyramid, i am not seen as i was in the back row haha and i only held like 2 people up wasnt that hard and i completed one of my life goals. *yes one of them was to make a human pyramid xD*  but i have to say its a real pain in the knees. they burn ;p

After that event, I had to run to the club room and get changed for the club introduction *just a walk around the oval in army 1, 2 stepness lifting knees and waving arms. It was fun wearing the kyudo uniform for the first time... i want to buy one but its quite the expensive bugger... and once i get it and bring it to aus what do i do with it... nothing much haha...

WOOT lunch break....

After Lunch it was Ouendan and Human Language performances. Ouendan = cheer group? and by  human languages i mean 300+ people holding panels that when seen from far away make a picture.... i.e. a emoticon is made by some people showing white, others in the area show yellow and etc.. its not that hard to imagine...

The final event i participated in is the TUG OF WAR *mortal combat music* we won both times... go us xD BLUE OWNS ALL... First time i participated in a real tug of war... shhhhuuurrrre i experienced fake ones but real ones are just fudgen tiring.. xD

Soon after... The results of what was No.1 in the events such as creation, human language and ouendan and stuff.... Super gayness was that we came 3rd in creation, marching and human language... and seriously it was like wtfork... because not to be bias but Blues routine for creation was harder then all the other groups but yellow had this cool swing thing xD anyway!! marching i expected second ;p lol i was rooting for Red that time... and Human language we came third as well.. and yellow had like no practice at all and we lost to them seriously wtf.... sure red was pro but still it was like wtfork... everyone was like wtfuck is with these results and slightly dying inside for trying to hard.... we came first in Dance... the girls section haha and ON 8030 points i think XD WE WON THE WHOLE THING FUCK YEAH! xD

i was so like jumping punching everyone falling down stairs etc ;p red was like 79XX something.. so it was close... My prediction early was wrong. Yellow came last...hahaha But gooooo us.. it was the best first and last Undoukai i ever had.

I must buy the dvd even if it costs like 1000 billion dollars... zzzz

So this is just a sum of weird and different things i have noticed during the course of my stay lawl i plan to add more later maybe in a different post.

1. Calendars and Clocks are everywhere in the families i have stayed with even in the bathroom
2. Alot of japanese people have dogs and not that many cats
3.  Japanese people dont really pick up on sarcasm is it only english?
4. Japanese people girls are super self concious imo
5. Japanese beach sand is better then australian sand imo its less annoying not that grainy
6. They recycle heaps they seperate the paper from the plastic xD im serious!
7.  Japanese driving thank yous are different they can use the hazard lights or a beep lol..
8. Japanese tv shows are the best XD so much more interesting
9. Japanese people go to such a huge extent to tease and trick comedians xD They had a trick show were these gang teams enter the road with the comedian in the street and they pretend to fight but they run at the comedian grabbing them and saying what the hell Oi and then afterwards its like READ THIS xD and its like *this is a joke* and there like Omg again xD lawls..... But they did really mean ones too where they try to make them cry and stuff but its still funny.
10. Japanese comedians are treated more famous then actors sometimes on the all tv shows theres always an comedian present.
11. Biking uphill is so fudgen hard..... i cant believe they dont get tired... gay healthy and fit jap people... Saw high heel skirt lady full dash up a mountainy hill i was dying at xD.
12. There main power box is in there bathroom? thats random maybe a place with less moisture would be better perhaps lol...
13. Everyone has mobile internet i mean everyone... maybe 10 and up lol...
14. Japs can sleep anywhere.... seriously... trains, buses, upsidedown...
15. Japanese students spend around 14+ hours of the day at school(including waking up prep lol) maybe abit less if they have no club.... I am currently doing 13 hours... lol
16. A lot of the families i have been do, do laundry fudgen often... maybe everyday ... at like 5 times a week imo
17. a lot of stores are open 24 hours i mean like dvd rental places 24 hours xD
18. Sometimes Japanese people think that they only have certain things... i mean i did too till i went out of the country i mean like... have you ever thought that something such as insects only came from Australia for example.. or everyone dreams in english ;D THEY DONT lawls...
     
19. The Phrase Ganbatte is seriously evil... its meant to encourage you to continue but i mean if you dont want too... there is nothing you can say to be like nooo in japanese at least.
20. Even Asians cant tell other asians apart its true..
21. When eating ramen\udon you arent supposed to drink the soup - all of it unless you really love the cook if you finish the soup it means you love both the noodles and the soup made by the chef xD
22. Japs can be pretty *less get naked(changed anywhere) type people* xD taking off clothes and crap xD not in like the train or anything but in classrooms and houses ;D
23. Added 2 bwhaha
    
     

SO i have recently been off the computer for ages and i think thats just a personal yay for me haha...

though i could do with somemore if you ask me haha....

BUT

NO Computer and No Anime make inkn go...
something something....

Go CRAZY!?!?!

Dont mind if i do

*arms phailing* *ahh damn it just youtube the dam video ;D*

So the Undoukai is really such a biach xD in how tiring it is. Its just everyday training, from 1;45pm till 5pm pretty much then after that i go to club till like 7 but then i get home at 8 lol...

So pretty much all the students are just pushing themselves til they are so tired as usual should i say. and its just like seriously wtf for me, because in all honesty i was having a bit of a bitch about this undoukai, but to make a long story short. It was pretty much i gave up and accepted it. stupid slow grief cycle.

Just for remember-ed purposes - the whole issue started because i was going to be in creation - human pyramids and crap like that, so i thought it was a class decision of what the class was going to do but in the end it turned out to be whatever you liked you could choose, it was due to lack of information due toooooo... japaneseness... and with that its was just seriously what chucked all the fudging oil in teh world on this stupid undoukai thing xD

So im doing some fake chair stances in which someone stands on my knees xD and i hold them still pretty much, then after that i do some matrix bullet dodge thing and im on the bottom level of a pyramid... holding up 2 people. i.e. 1 persons right half of there body and another persons left half  im not sure maybe something else lol.... its always been something i wanted to try i guess... a human pyramid. i might fail and hurt thousands (lots of asians joke)

In the undoukai im in team Blue, pro colour lol... theres yellow and red. yellow always seems to be the randomly hyped people and its like calm down, it seems like they might win though but GO blue anyway.

They are also doing some cardboard signs, the one that when you flip the board it turns into a picture far away.... type of cheering... and one of the colours is black, if i wasnt asian they would have problems with my hair haha... white blonde aussie or some crap... then i show my hair during the yellow parts lawls. Oooo another asian joke... yellow ;p be creative hahaa.... lame

Getting up at 5:30ish on monday till friday maybe saturday when the stupid event is actually on. so i will be on the computer even less...which is both good and bad.

anyway heres to: my inevitable.......

Undoukai related , death ;D




 

so my first time living in an apartment ever. Its not so bad in Japan i think but i do miss my pro room in the last family, they let me use the computer all the time but then i also had the time.... stupid school starting again xD.... lol but seriously i think the last family kinda hated that and didnt even want to keep me for abit longer then in the middle of the week they wanted me gone. i doubt it was a good reason in my opinion, then again Japs never say there true intentions kinda my style if you ask me though.

So with the new family it is a family of 2 daughters and mum and dad. the 2 daughters go to university like schools i think or actually is an actual university. The dad works for a supermarket and is an office worker i think. He likes to drink alot and smoke.... mychelles kind of friend haha.... and the mum works in a kindergarden as an english teacher. she has odd working hours i think xD.

Anyway i dont have much time for computer anymore ;D i get home at 8pm during school days now and starting from next week is my jikoku.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daladan dan da da data dan *final fantasy battle finish*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

I leveled up today.

I shot 4 or 5 times ;D all misses, with a 7kg bow *the bow doesnt weight 7kgs its it pull weight. They were like a heavier bow makes the arrow shoot straighter but yeah obviously im not used to the weight so its kind of a strain. but its good for teh MUSCLES! lawls *muscles pose* anyway i moved to maybe an 11kg one but the shots seem to aim much higher then usual so i just have to practice... but I dont think its a good idea to start on a new bow when ill get so tired from stupid practice everyday.

Rawr thats all for now.

I went out today, To Book Off, at Ohashi station and Kasugabaru stores. XD looking for books to buy but there were none at the stores how so freaken gay. im looking for Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. its a pro anime and manga so like i was like searching for it. i bought the first 2 manga books at 350 yen the normal price is 540yen i guess...  and it got recently released too into manga, so i think they might not come into book off for awhile. i saw book 4 but i didnt want to buy the 4th book without the 3rd book.

At Ohashi station, i saw the 1st year baseball members, and they were like all konnichiwa to a sempai * o 3 o bwahaha sempai* even though im not there direct sempai they still treat me as one since i know all the other sempai peoples thats why. i passed them 3 times but they didnt notice me till the 2nd time and then i was like dashing because i was pissed at some gay directions i was given and then after the visit to book off i went to Mcdonalds were i saw them again and they just talked to me for like 5mins then did there own thing xD

SUPER FAIL Was..... i tried talking to them like why are you here at ohashi station and then i was like Nande..................................... drifting off voice, but they didnt notice........., this happened before like tons of time since i have little stage presence in real life. xD

Going home i stopped at a mall, I WENT INTO FULL JAP GIRL STORES and was like im looking for some presents for my friends i.e. mychelle and rachel. and hello kitty stores, i was the only male who was alone it was like ehhh................... w/e i got the presents. it was a fun day of going out ness then my feet hurt afterwards (^_^o)

If i ever buy broad shorts like super white trash ones ill seriously die ;D

thats something i have decided in my life.

So just kill me then and there if i have boardshorts like the ones for actual surfing the ones bogans wear!

Also as warning if you want to buy me boardshorts for my birthday ill just be

GET OUT!!

or

Spontaneously combustion may insinuate ;D

So on Thursday I had lunch with the grandparents, some of my host brothers friends came over too, to be honest the meal was HUGE XD it was your own 12 piece sushi platter, with miso soup, vegetable side and these other things which seemed to be like chinese food, anyhoots, after that we had dessert, watermelon and cake? i sort of forgot　lawls.

The main point of the day was just talking about Australia, and other normal social topics, like what have you been up too. Obviously not all the questions were directed at me but yeah THE TALK LASTED like 3 hours, it was just sitting there and talking for awhile a long dam while.

Then it was like yeah we have to leave now, *the friends of the host brother* and that was our escape as well.

Though it was entertaining talking that long is not my cup of tea indeeds ;D

sorry to make you people wait so long for this irrelevant ness bwahah

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day with the Coordinator
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So on the day that, that faithful day,  august 7th the coordinator came and picked me at 2pm i remember as if it where the first leaf that falls from an autumn tree *why so dramatic you ask* because i can anyway he came to pick me up and i said good bye to the family, BUT BEFORE THAT EVEN COULD HAPPEN, there was a meeting talking about how my host brother wants to travel abroad maybe next year. and that lasted like almost like 1 hour oh god that was painful and with my impression of the coordinator not so great from the start things were just going down hill from here.

So I left the house with everyone smiling and saying good bye wait is that a good thing hahaha and then in the car the coordinator, Murakami-san tells me that ohh your not going to our new host family, your spending the day with my family and moving tomorrow, So inside i was like WTFORK YOU *things i dont normally think* haha but i was all smiles, i guess i am that type of person, so i got there and he lives in some small apartment near the city, like 1 bedroom and a living room, the hall is the kitchen, 1 bathroom, All i did when i got to his sit down for like 1 or 2 hours, while the coordinator was explaining something meanless while i tried to play DS *final fantasy Tactics A2 (got back into it after like 8months break haha)* Back to the story, what we pretty much did was just talk till his daughter came home like 9 years old, she wasnt at the same level as the past host family but she can be a complaining child and an attention seeker if you look at her in the worst light, but pretty much she was just a kid so you cant blame her. but i can i guess so we just ate ramen but i really liked the coordinators wife she is a nice person and then went to some mall to waste some time then pretty much sleep was all that was left.

Slept quite early, the next day waking up early as well, I was leaving around 2pm again like before i.e. yesterday. if i actually posted when i should have haha SO half of the day was playing with a hamster that she had it was called Choco, kinda cute haha but it didnt really like being touched i think haha at least it wasnt used to it. anyway the other half of the day we pretty much did calligraphy seeing how the wife (host mother) is a calligraphy teacher, and i have never tried calligraphy before well i actually did in my past trip just write my name, but anyway i wrote cooler stuff this time, like soul, and spirit, zeal and KASUGA! - my schools name haha and I wrote Soul, the Kanji on a Fan, and drew on the back which i coloured in one of my drawings for the first time ever :D and it looked kinda pro if i do say myself. ill post pictures later, i know i always say that but yeah im lazy :D i need me some water colour pencils haha.

I did that till around 1pm then i had to leave, when leaving i gave them some small koala doll thingies, and they said come back again which i guess i might. After leaving, i gained respect for the coordinator while i was there if i do say so myself. And spending my time there wasnt a complete waste as which i thought it was. 

The place we were headed was a train station to pick up my new host brother, Ryosuke 19 years old, and we had some long ass drive ahead of us. I went to sleep ;D

TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER *the post below* its already late d:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onwards to Newer host family!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So today we went on to pick up my host brother from Hakata Station, which was a hell away, so it was a long way and it was awkwardly quite for awhile then the coordinator started to talk about the trip, that my host brother went on to England, I pretty much sleep half way of the journey i was just sleepy and cramped up in the coordinators small car lol. We got to the house and it was pretty much just hello how are j00 and stuff like that i.e. jikoshokai. self introduction. From first impressions, the mum can be kind of in your face sometimes, but its sort of good giving attention haha. Dads quite but a good person, the host sister is quite as well can be kind of selfish too i think, but she tries her best at everything imo, she also does judo and is pretty tank haha, host brother doesnt do anything along the lines of sport but he does do part time work and goes to some college studying chemistry.

new host family told me to call them, oba chan and oji chan lol, that kind of pissed me as well thats like dont call me okaa san or otou san because we dont want to get connected to you is what i thought they were saying but things have gotten better so far imo i feel kind of getting close to them but yeah this family is only temporary so its kinda teh gays.

Next i brought my stuff to my room, well they carried my stuff haha since there just like that. and it was like my dream room ;D xD inroom, aircon, computer a good one haha, but gay vista haha anyway its pro. Now the hidden problem that i had to lie about is that my exchange program camp got cancelled and officlaly i have no residence till next month from the 23rd or 24th or something, and since the coordinator told this family to only host me till the 22nd since i was supposed to go to the camp but it was cancelled soo yeah i.e. no place. for a week. and the coordinator planned to surprised them and ask them to hold me for week, but the coordinator like all japs avoid this confrontation, so i doubt he will actually do it and do something stupid like get me a new family for that one week.

So during the day i watched tv and played ds and talked to the host family, what we talked about was places i want go and places i want to see, but seriously i decide very slowly and it could be after hours of planning for no real reason xD then after that i just went to sleep thats all ;p i was good and didnt use the computer for 1 day haha.

The Festival that never was
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Sunday the day after, i arrived they asked me what i wanted to do and there was a festival on near my school or go to some historical place, in Saga a really country area. We decided to go to the fesitval, and then my host brother set up to meet someone he saw in england 1 year ago so it was like there huge get together. That day was pretty hot and crap so we just ended up going to a franchised family restaurant XD FOR THE WHOLE TIME and we didnt even get to go to the festival, i didnt mind all that much since what they were talking about was quite interesting and they wanted to talk to me in english but that failed since they just gave up pretty much. but! yes for liek 3 hours they just talked. maybe even 4 hours xD the first few hours was just sitting there talking and not ordering anything to eat haha then we got kind of hungry again and then we ordered a small pizza and fries. Anyway what they were talking about was pretty much about how they have been for 1 year and what there goals are and what they want to do in the future, i kind of joined in everynow and then, though mind you there wasnt many openings for me to talk lol. but they seemed like a boyfriend girlfriend type to me, like they liked each other haha. then they talked about other things like philosophy the day ended but it was pretty fun, though i had some regret in not going to the festival it was ok.

it was the story of the festival that never was. ;D

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inkn`s big day out
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So on like a monday or something haha I was left alone during the families usual busyness which was expected seeing how they seem kinda rich to me haha so i was on the computer in the morning planning what to do, initially, i just planned to be on being hobo as usual in australia i.e. on computer haha, so i talked to some friends online what to do, since i cant decide haha, anyway after like 1 hour of arguing
what to do, i decided to go school for some stamp to get a monthly ticket from here to my school, then id abuse my other left over ticket, to go to the city and planned to watch a movie, Narutard shippuden movie 3 xD in the cinemas but yeah it didnt work out well.

So heading to school took awhile so i played Ds on the way ;D lol and then i finally got to school and what happened was there was a baseball game going on, though i just got there i went to the office so i didnt see how the game ended. the office was over quite quickly, so i asked how the game ended one of my friends in the baseball club, and they won, i started eating my lunchbox ;D while i was there i didnt really do anything. i soon left to go to the city.

After i got on the train, i got to Tenjin, the name of the city in Fukuoka, and when i got there i had a grave miscalculation which is unusual for me ;p haha the cinema i planned to go to was like maybe 7kms away?maybe less but yeah it was fudgen far xD i walked maybe like 1 km and then gave up on the cinema, since i wouldnt　make it in time either, and i planned to leave around 4 pm to be in time to come home, so i only entered one shop on my way walking back to tenjin station * and i bought some t shirts that were the same price as my cinema ticket should of been, there for my brother who doesnt read my blog haha. So anyway, In the end i was walking, then kept walking for awhile.......................... for more then i should have and by the time i saw some map, i was closer to Hakata Station where i just went before but that sort of worked out since Hakata Station is a directly line to my station. On the way i bought some drinks and ate some of my lunch box, and visited a close by historical shrine. Then i just went home. *tired of typing*
 

So today was Host sisters and grandmothers combined birthday party.

Just for fun facts there birthday lies on the hiroshima and nagasaki bombing >...< haha hiroshima is grandmother and nagasaki is younger sister.

So we had a formal dinner, what we eat was: pesto bread, then an asparagus salad, then we had some roast beef, not really cooked :D yes semi rawr, with mustard it tastes good dont smash it till you try it. xD Then we had some eggplant lasagna. which was good but i burnt my tongue :(

haha..... For dessert we had a chocolate shaped piano cake, *thats a mouthful.* with pudding. OMG THE CAKE WAS LIKE SO CHOCOLATEY soo good xD i havent had chocolate in a while.

For there presents i bought small cakes, a raspberry chocolate cake slice for grandmother and a white bear face cake with a little ribbon in its head xD it looked cute for a 10 year old. and the grandmother turns 80 tomorrow.

I FINALLY GOT PICTURES OF MY HOST FAMILY! 2 days before i change family haha..... but ill be back in October.

Anyhoots, The other fun part.

FIREWORKS, it was like a B204 but it was like kiddie fireworks, but in Austra-gay you only get  sparklers seriously wtfork are those xD fails.

Though in the future i want missle type ones ;D hahaha. In all reality they are all sparklers but they are just shaped differently and shoot out of an coned end which is cool ;D Ill post pictures soon maybe tomorrow on facebook. I took so much pictures and they were like its ghosts pictures haha.... since all you can really see if half your face due to my cameras recent in ability to flash which i found out today wtfork. gay.

Anyway must smuggle some back.

So Awake again, On a semi school night. Only club activities tomorrow. still waking up at 6;30am anyway.

I have slight insomnia it seems, i am thinking to much about my problems, not know who to talk too i decided to talk to Livejournal since everyone normal should be asleep already besides some asians on the internet and white people who watch tv for shopping channel...

ANYWAY my insomnia. Here are my problems, 1. Host family change + luggage, 2. Friends Outing 3. Presents

So i havent really told anyone yet but I am changing families this friday ;P partly due to my lazyness and it was all my lazyness really So id definately say my next family is definately more stable in terms of family situation. 18yr old host brother, goes to some college, 17yr old sister that does judo = own me. dad is some government offical, and mum is a nurse xD they seem like the type to be busy with life for a host student imo. They are only keeping me till the 22nd anyway i think. Even though this family is messed up and has its bruises I still enjoy being here sometimes ;p haha...... they tlak to me and the mum is really nice iunno its homey in a way that its so dysfunctional but my real family is quite steady haha different new pace that makes me both angry and happy? yes i know im weird.

So the problem is combined pretty much the host change happens this friday and my friends want to go out on saturday, obviously just moving to the new family that doesnt look very good, Yes i care about image here. My friends from the kyuudou  club want to go to a amusement pool park place. since its summer and yeah why not, My problem is that i have no swim suit to wear lol... i forgot it in australia, obviously not the swimming type it was slightly unconciously intentional?. And i dont really see a point in my buying one, seeing how summer vacation will be over soon enough. Then i could borrow one but from which family haha.... the one i am at now trusts me more, and its not like i wont be coming back *in October i come back to this family*(back to that point later) so yeah there possible but its just giving them problems they dont need. While borrowing from the new family will seem like i am really selfish in a way and always does my own thing which in reality i am the opposite haha..

So I figure that ill borrow one off the current host family and come back next week *since theres no club activities either* and return it. But it still causes an same image for the new host family for short purposes host family 5 = HF5 they will think i want to go back to this fmaily or something so its only kinda settled.

Anyway, Next problem is if i actually want to go to the pool park thing. Its the day after i get to the new family and then the train is going to be like 1 hour 30mins or so maybe a bus somewhere near the end, the transporting fee is going to be expensive, + entry into the park which is like 20 dollars, + going home ticket i expect to be like 20 dollars as well.... Soo its just plain expensive but the reward is friend out and JAPS are fudgen busy they dont have time to have fun and crap so being invited by them is like finding a hurcules beetle *some random botany info* And i guess the reason im up is whether i would regret not going on ANY outings with my friends, though if i dont go i could invite them to do something next week when club isnt on as well. I guess i wont know these things till i sleep but that does seem like its going to happen either.

My last few problems is my luggage, If i take the day off on thursday to pack my bag and crap, thats also the birthday of the grandmother that lives with us, also the bombing of hiroshima people, and the younger sisters birthday is on saturday but they always have a joint birthday... the younger sister is on the Nagasaki Bombing, 2 bombings in the one family <,,,< lawls... so i just thought id buy some cake for them or something, or some toy for the girl since grandmother is harder to please lol.... shiny coin could amuse the girl imo.

Anyway if i rest on thursday to do that, ill get the baggage done but id be missing club and next week theres none, and then i think school starts again and im not sure if club is on the week after either. then on the 3rd week from now i go to a camp in chiba, near tokyo but all thats there is houses and ruralness... So i practically wont be doing kyuudo for like 3 weeks, and i kinda like it ok... leave me alone.. lol. ALSO AGAIN, sleeping and asking questions can fix these things but i am still far from tired haha.... waking up at 4am for like 2 mins to plug in my phone to charge it lawls...

Also the next host family, is taking me till 22nd like i said before, tomorrow i mean today i am going to ask host mum if they can take me again after they said they can take me again in October so yeah i still have mixed feelings about this move, its both good and bad. haha.. but the fact is i have already gotten used to this place with all its bugs and bruises. *related the house and family to spoilt fruit if you didnt catch the allusion.

So yardy iunno i can probably sleep now but ill stay up till 1am again just to be safe haha....

I have taken up long bow archery. - in jap Kyuudou its spelt in romaji, but for whites its Kyudo since whites dont like to  YOU'S ( U ) anyway I started on Monday last week but i just didnt post about it for ages. Its been a week now and my arms have gained muscle... THAT IN ITSELF IS FUNNY isnt it? ian with muscle? dosesnt fit my image :D.

FRIENDs your goal is to find a kyudo dojo in Sydney, your mission which you have been made to accept will detonate in 5 4 3 *yes that is smoke coming out of your computer* 2 1 *boom? If your computer resetted or exploded I am just that good.

But anyhoots XD Kyuudou yeah... its quite fun but its has alot of rules and archery is something i have always wanted to try.... And like everyone says it isnt as easy as it looks. i think im still on the lightest bow, 7kgs haha or something. thats the string weight when pulled, if you thought it was the actual bow you fail D: ....

Anyway just to fill this post, Ill try writing the stances.

Thinks to remember:

Right hand Grip:
bring thumb  to middle on palm, and keep it bent place your index and middle finger only on your thumb. Pinky and ring finger should just be clenched.

Left Hand Grip:
the bow handle is placed at the first line in your palm near your fingers (pinky, ring and middle when clenched that line there.) keep those 3 fingers clenched leaving the index finger pointing and resting your thumb over the 3 clenched fingers.*do not point until the 3rd or 4th step.*

Face:

obviously when shooting you turn your head to the left or right where ever your target is. thus a person in front of you can see your ear. pretty much.

1st. Stand with feet together then widen stance horizontally  by moving your feet further apart. more then shoulders and not so much you will fall over, and angle your feet diagonally. at like a 60*degree angle.
2. make a wide circle using your arms in front of your belly, IF YOU CAN GET THAT FAR bwahah, jokes...  and with closed fists completing the circle, (close but not touching each other). and bend your wrists in(towards yourself).
3. Keeping the circle in tact. lift arms above head and in the middle of your body.
4. moving your left hand left so that you are pointing to the leftabove your head.. \ <-- left hand | <--- right hand. Keep your right hand above your head slightly bent at the elbow. while the left hand is straight as if holding a bow, *its not that hand to imagine...
5. bring arms down till about your shoulders as this is done, i.e.  bringing down left hand making it straight. while the right hand is bent at the elbow and wrist. your hands should be around about the same height as your mouth. Your right hand should look like as if someone is tensing there bicep but remembering your right hand grip.
6. Firing, You open right hand and in a swift motion you straight out your right hand to a obtuse (an angle over 90* degrees angle stop about at 160*degrees = almost straight but slightly bent.and in turn your left hand should move abit to the left as in releasing the arrow duh...

Haha... things to practice:

• Shoulders should be tense at all. only arms should be moved.
• Keeping back straight.and not to lean forward or anything.
• Remembering to keep right hand wrist bent throughout the process
• Be sure to keep face turned as a bow can hit your ear and it can be teh painzors.
• *if i think of other things while i am learning kyuudou ;D.

And that is the Art of Kyuudou,

Try it for yourself, or not. either way ill show you guys when i get back, and then you have to buy me the clothing and the bow and the arrows plox. they cost like 1k ;D or more australian haha....

happy kyuudou'ing
