A Little Excitement

Had some excitement at my working place yesterday! Apparently, over the weekend someone tried to break into a bunch of offices on the 2nd & 3rd floor of my office building. The guy hit most of the rooms that have no deadbolt on the door. Someone down the hall from us happened to catch a glimpse of the guy when he came out of his office to check on a pounding noise that he was hearing in the hallway. When he came out he saw a guy running down the hall towards the fire exit stairwell.

A couple of policemen came to take reports from the guy and the tenants of the rooms that got damaged. Unfortunately for me (like I already told Bonita!), neither of the policemen were good looking! :P Oh well!

I hope the owner's of the building improve the security here. It's actually a pretty dangerous place at night. Our building tends to attract a lot of homeless people and drug users because of the parking basement. They all tend to hide out over there at night if they can get in. It's really easy to get into the building once you climb over the parking gate to get into the basement, plus the security people only stay until about 10:00 at night and there isn't any security at all on the weekends. Pretty scary, especially since I'll be starting to work late soon since income tax season is starting up again!

Finally finished watching Kurokawa No Techou and Mystery Minzoku Gakusha Yakumo Itsuki over the last couple of weekends. I thought Kurokawa No Techou was a pretty good show, but I kinda hoped for a better ending, although, I guess the ending is the "RIGHT" ending (nobody understood that did they? :P). Also started watching Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger. Hayashi Tsuyoshi who plays Hoji/Dekablue is pretty cute! The show is pretty good and the cast seems to be pretty good too. I even like one of the girls. Not too silly or irritating and she's supposed to be psychic!

Can't wait for the new dramas to start coming in. Looking forward to checking out Fukigenna Gene, H2, Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji, Tokumei Kakarichou Todano Hitoshi, and Gokusen 2! I might try watching Fugou Keiji which stars Fukada Kyoko. I'm not a real big fan of hers, but she did a good job in Remote and I'm a sucker for Keiji dramas! I'm hoping the video rental store will also bring in Shibuya 15. It looks really good, but I'm thinking they might not bring it in since this drama airs in Japan really late at night.

Well, better get back to work before my boss catches me! XD Ja, mata aoune! ^_^

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

It's been so busy at work and it still is! I think the government is trying to thin out the population by making us all have strokes and heart attacks from all the stress they're giving us! For some stupid reason all quarterly payroll reports are due at the end of this month. Also, all unemployment taxes and general excise taxes are due at the end of this month. And last, but not least, all W-2's need to be distributed to the employer's so that they can give them out to their employees by the end of the month! I'm going nuts! I've been working until 8:00 pm for the past week to make sure I finish everything!

I just had to take a break already! I'm so tired! Thank goodness I finished most of the forms. I'm still waiting for some forms to come in, but I'm pretty much done and I'm hoping I'll be able to get the checks in before the end of this week so that I won't have to run around getting them at the last minute. That would be a definite pain in the you-know-where!

Anyway, to calm down I decided to do a few more quizzes! :P

Here's one that someone put up at JDorama:

This is my name if I type my name in Last Name first:

My japanese name is 中村 Nakamura (center of the village) 歩 Ayumi (walk, deeper meaning: walk your own way).

Here's a couple from Purple's blog (again! ^^;):





Your Dominant Intelligence is Musical Intelligence



Every part of your life has a beat, and you're often tapping your fingers or toes.
You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time.
You are probably a gifted musician of some sort - even if you haven't realized it.
Also a music lover, you tend to appreciate artists of all kinds.

You would make a great musician, disc jockey, singer, or composer.

New Layout!

Yay! Finally got a new layout! Thank you so much Bonita! I love it! Half-naked Nari....Mmmmmm....Nice!

I screwed up the other layout so bad that Bonita had to make me a whole new one! How sad is that! I'm lucky Bonita didn't try to send laser beams at me through the computer! ^^; I'm gonna try to study the template she made for me so that I might be able to make a layout by myself eventually. Right now though I really need to study! I'm slowly getting the hang of all this HTML stuff, but I obviously still have a long way to go. That being said, I'm gonna go do a little studying now! Mata ne! ^_^

Officially CI!

Anybody visiting my blog yesterday or today can see that I tried to change my layout. TRY being the important word here. Bonita gave me the HTML template, and it was supposed to be easy to do, but TADAAAAA! Of course I screwed it up! (Gomen Bonita! :P) I am officially COMPUTER ILLITERATE! X(

I guess the few good things I can say are that I didn't blow my computer up, my blog didn't totally disappear, and I came kinda close to what it was SUPPOSED to look like (at least I think I came close!XD).

I'm so hopeless! Bonita has to help me fix it now since I made such a mess of it (Gomeiwaku kakete gomenasai ne Bonita) ! Hopefully, she'll remember to send me what the template was supposed to look like so that I can look at it and see all the things I did wrong! That way I can learn more about how the layout is supposed to work. ^_^;

Well, the blog is still readable anyway so just bear with me for a little while longer! Ja ne! v^_^v

Starting of A New YearI

Whoa, it's been almost a week since I last posted anything! It's been pretty busy here at work. My boss is STILL doing 2003 tax returns (*sigh* >.<) and I have to close up all of the payrolls and get them ready to print out all the W-2's and complete all the tax reports that are due at the end of the month.

Not much time for me to get on the internet, and the fact that my brother & sister have been using the computer quite a lot didn't help any either. I finally got to use the computer last night and had a nice chat with Bonita! Ohisashiburi! Tanoshikatta!

She changed the layout on her blog again. Looks really good! I really admire her. She's so good at so many things! I gotta learn how to change the layout on my blog here too. I'm so afraid I'll make this disappear that I haven't been able to get up enough courage to change anything yet. This year I'll definitely study up and change it...eventually...sometime...maybe later....he he.

Started out the New Year at home and ate soba & ozoni! My brother makes some ONO ozoni! He'll be a great firefighter (that is, if he ever passes the exam!)! He's turning out to be a pretty good cook! We went to my Aunty's house in Mililani again for New Year's and I broke even at Mah Jong again (futsuu ne!), and I ate much more than was good for me. Guess I'm gonna have to exercise a little more to work of the extra food I ate!

Well, it's been a good year so far (it's only been 6 days!) hopefully the rest of the year will be good too. Hopefully, if I can manage to save enough money (which just seems to be impossible!) my sister and I will be going to Japan in May again. This time we might go to Hiroshima for a few days, but we're still kicking around ideas. If we do go though we're definitely going to either Osaka or Tokyo since those are our 2 favorite cities!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's and I hope the rest of the year will be just as great! Minna isshouni ganbarimashou ne! ^_^
