somebody broke my car window!

i dont really like comparing between japan and america because i dont wanna be a stereotype.

BUT i need to say that japan is a lot safer!

btw, in this few weeks, all bad things happened to me.
first, i met a scam in vivinavi.com when i tried to buy a panasonic camcorder. he was telling me "looks like brand new" but it was not. after researching i found out that the camcorder came in 2000. plus, it keeps tell me an error and doesnt take any dv cassette. i am still trying to return this item, but whoever names "sato" @nandemo-ya in torrance kept saying "i am very busy" and never reply my e-mail! i told my friend who is a lowyer, he said to take to a small claims court, but the case is not that big...shoot. what should i do now?

next thing happened : somebody broke my car window again!! aaah this is the third time already. seems like those kids like my old red car...

i am so pissed right now:-(

t-shirt store

i am trying to make an original t-shirt for my friend as a birthday present. i found cool t-shirts store on the web! you can make not only own design t-shirts but also "t-shirt store".

my own t-shirt store is : http://welcom.shirtcity.com/

what it says:
we are all on small boats, a one-man boat, too small to rescue a drowning man, but, i believe, by looking at the same stars, with comrades paddling the same oar, I can be stronger than one's self. Even if scattered, the feeling of closeness, as if they are next to me, paddling the same boat, I believe such phenomenon, under this sky,will happen.私たちは小さな船だ。誰かがおぼれていても、乗せてあげることさえできない、一人乗りの小さな船だ。でも、私は信じて いる。同じ星を見て、同じ ようにオール を漕ぐ仲間がいるだけで、一人では出せない力が出せたりするんじゃないか。たとえみんな離ればなれになっても、いつも誰かが、そばにいてくれるような、同 じ船を漕いでくれているような、そんな奇跡が、この空の下、起きたりするんじゃないか

added google custom search engine

just added the google search engine on my blog, the right hand side. what it does is that giving you search results from your favorite sites. since it's bate version, gave me a little time to figure out how to set up.

all my other sites are in japanese so that i needed to put character codes when input. otherwise, give you the results with unreadable characters.

resizing the width of result's window was little tricky. instead, i used "css".

and even posting, as a result's window, was taught too. with javascript, need to be careful if the character spacing is right. better to get rib of all
tags, but that story was under this "blogger" system. you may get other problems with other blog services.(as matter of fact i did)

now, i dont really like the result's window color is white! well, i am tired now.. let it go for a while...zzz
---------------------------------------------------

ok, afterwards, i noticed that there is a search box on the top of this blog lol. so, i put the search plug-in instead. this search results are much better.

how to make sushi

i've learned how to make california rolls (sushi) from my friend, a sushi chef. making california rolls is quite different from nomal sushi. very interesting to me.

• cucumber thinly sliced
• avocado thinly sliced
• imitation crab with mayonnaise
  
• tobiko
• sushi rice
• nori(seaweed)

cut cucumber, avocado and imitation crab into thin sliced sticks. lay seaweed sheet on a flat surface. gently spread a light layer of rice over entire sheet. turn the sheet over. at one inch from the edge of the seaweed sheet, add ingredients in layers to cover a one inch rectangle section of the sheet. starting from the edge closest to the filling, gently fold seaweed sheet over filling, lightly pressing to form a roll. continue rolling. afterwards, using makisu(3 and 8)pressing it a little tightly. slice roll into one inch pieces. put tobiko on the sushi rolls if you want.

serenity

October 4th, i went to watch movie"serenity" without knowing about "firefly". as soon as the movie started, i totally missed the story because, i guess, i was too sleepy to watch movie and one of actor's voice was little too low to understand for me. however, almost all audiences (except me) were laughing and craping their hands, seemed like they were having fun.

in the middle of story, after i understood what the story about little, it was kind a fun. there are laughing parts, brother and sister's love, and scary parts. i think the movie's balance is really good. i am thinking to watch the movie again when i am not sleepy and hope i can see in japanese.
