happy halloween

How was everybodys halloween? For me i didn't do much. On the weekend i hung out with Joe and Frank and drank. The next day i went snorkeling again, so that was nice. During the week Ariana and i did halloween preporations, we made a jack o-lantern and halloween cupcakes. Check out my photo gallery for some pictures. That was fun - and alot of mess! On halloween night i was supposed to do something but i didn't end up doing anything much. Frank and i went out for tea at a place called tantan man (Chinese food). It was nice :)

My friend introduced me to an Okinawan girl who is learning English. The three of us went to an izakaya (Japanese pub) and ate a variety of foods. This was my second time at an Izakaya but first time to sit at a tatami mat. It was an enjoyable night and the food was great. I tried many new things including chicken skin on a stick (it was nice, but i didn't know what it was). We had some sake and talked in English and Japanese.

Also that week i went out and had tonkatsu with another friend. I had this vegetable and pork stuffed thing but it was really nice. When they bring you the food there is a motar and pestal with sesame seeds which you grind and pour on the tonkatsu. There is also a sauce you dip the peices in and miso soup comes with it (which you drink out of the bowl). I enjoyed it!

On the weekend Joe had to have the beeper which means he couldn't drink or do anything in case they called him in. It sucks that he couldn't have the thing when Felicia got back, oh well. This weekend was kinda boring, but Sunday was good. Well Sunday afternoon was good. Anyway i went on base with two Japanese people and an American person. I had met one of the girls before and we all went bowling. This was the first time i had done that so it was interesting (i suck!!) but we had fun. After that i went to american village (off base) and went shopping. I bought a few new things (like shoes) and then met up with another friend and we did more shopping. After a while we went for dinner at a jamaican resturant. I had a really good time there, we sat outside (even though it was raining it was nice) the atmosphere of the place and other customers was really good. The people sitting next to us were really friendly and spoke a little English. They were funny. But then, at the only part of the weekend i was enjoying, Joe gets called into work and i had to leave!

On Wednesday night i went out for a walk and it was so nice outside. I walked by the ocean and it was really refreshing. Today i am going to the dentist so i am a little worried. Hopefully it dosent end up costing me too much money!

This weekend i almost have a 4 day weekend! (with the exeption of friday morning until like 7:30) so hopefully i can do something fun. No beeper, Felicia will be back and plenty of time! Also i am organizing to go to Fukoka to see my friend Rina for around a week later this month and i am pretty excited :) Anywayz that's all for now

Weird sentance of the week: You are the only one. Heal your mind my singing voice.
