Mochi

By watching a scene where some stuffs for kagami mochi preparation has showed, at NHK ni Yokoso, a glimpse from past has come to my mind. Almost one year ago, I went to my uncle's beach house and we prepared some mochi for everyone. It's a japanese tradition where a rice cake is fried and then, a mix of shoyu with sugar is put over it. It's awesome!! I wish I could eat it right now! =)

To be on the horns of a dilemma

I've been thinking about my next year goals and I, again, also thinking over the time I spend just by staring, daydreaming and wainting something could happen while I keep logged at Gaim (client I use to log on MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo and ICQ account). I could do a lot of stuffs if I could gather all that time and apply for something produtive, like studying, programming or watching a film. "Damn, I have to stop with it and, by doing so, I also could test my will power.", I thought. But wouldn't it be too selfish, since I have this as the main contact way, due to the very large distance? Maybe I'm being too severe with them and myself. So, a better way would be to limit as much as I can do and avoid sparing too much on my involuntary IM thoughts digress, and I could still talk to my friends. =)
Concerning the title, I was looking for something related to dilemma word. So I found this phrasal verb, that means both choices of a dilemma are not as good as if I could choice both or none. As I want to keep it into my mind, I made it this post title, so It can be easier for me to remember. Maybe this can happen more often than it can appear. So, don't mind if a title doesn't seems to fit on a post content. =P

Densha Otoko


Everton brought, after three months of hard work on arubaito, this j-drama that has just finished to go on tv when he had to come back to Brazil.
It's about an otaku who saved a girl from a molester and, with some help, his wish to be with her. What makes Densha Otoko interesting is that the main character represents a stereotype which has become more present in Japan over the last years, specially over the last decade.

Writing

I've just felt on a urge for writing! Haha. I think I'm going to write in a natural way, as things comes into my mind.
This happened as I visited my friend's (now called as Aerith) blog. I think she started a blog almost at the same time as mine! I've just noticed about it. But she always wrote there and the time between her posts wasn't so big. She made me want to post too!!
There were some stuffs I wanted to post, actually. But I was very lazy of busy to do it, so yeah. u.u That's because I always want to write a long text to look cool, but it's not a good thing to do. At least to me because my memory doesn't allow me store stuffs for a long time. Maybe it's lack of training.
I need to post a list of stuffs I plan for next year and stuffs I've watched lately.
It's all for now.

What

Wishes

  • A motorcycle
  • A monocycle

Why

The theme was started by looking through some Maurits Cornelis Escher pictures, which are physically impossible to exist, but definately possible to be drawn, when the Horseman picture was found.
To fit this background, some arabic/islamic pictures were seen when I finally found the current header one, which fits perfectly into the arabic/islamic idea of the Escher picture and the idea of traveling as a need, for ponderings and reflections, and how one's decision makes part of other's life.
