It's nice to feel good once in a while

I've got nothing special up my sleeve, I'm just trying to be a chipper person. I got two cool books from my friend Yasuto, and they are really cool. Did I mention they are cool? I had never been able to find such a comprehensive Japanese cookbook - usually you can only find sushi and nothing else. And it's bilingual. I can practice my Japanese when reading it. Yasuto is cool. :P

My orchid is definately going to bloom, there is no doubt about that now. I can't wait to see what color it is going to be! Every day its getting just a little bit bigger and my anticipation just keeps building. I'll definately post a pic when it finally blooms so all can see what a pretty flower I have grown. ^_^

This Thursday I am going to be performing Japanese festival music on campus for the Hina Matsuri festival. Yes, we celebrate Girl's day here just like they do in Japan. We also celebrate Boys day too. :P Just one of those things we do here in Hawaii. I don't think that the majority of us, the new students, are ready to perform. We barely learned the pieces. Lastnight we did a runthrough and I still don't know everything. It's a little annoying that the sensei makes David the only one to play the odo (the really big drum). My other classmates and I think it is because David is the only male, and the sensei is 80 so he has a bias that was bred into him a long time ago. I get to play the kane alot.. the kane is an instrument that is like a big ashtray that makes a little clanky noise when you hit it with a thick piece of wood on a small stick. That damm thing is heavy and there's like, only three ways to play the damm thing. I'd rather play more drums. -_- Aside from that I feel in a good mood. David's Dad is going to take us out to dinner again tonite, we have no idea where we will go. Wherever our stomachs shall take us! Maybe Mexican food tonite? I can have me another Li-Hing-Mui Margarita if we go to Reuben's. Mmm that sounds good.
