Merry Christmas!
Hello everyone! Merry Christmas to you, you, you, and you. I hope you all were able to get everything you wanted for Christmas. Just remember that Christmas is more about family than it is about gifts. While good things come and go, family will always be there in your heart forever.
I know it's been awhile since I've posted. I missed a couple of Sunday Hot picks for the music. To be honest. No time. My work has me busy Mon-Fri. On the weekend, I just want to go out. I don't want to be near a computer on the weekend because I'm on one for 60-80hours a week. It's all good though, I'll try my best to keep up with this blog.
Well, it's Christmas so we need some Christmas jingles. We are going to Japan for this one. Here's a couple of tracks that will get you in the holiday spirit.
Crystal Kay-Shining
Mika Nakashima-Yuki no Hana
Foxxi Misq-Last Christmas
Perfume-Twinkle Snow Powdery Snow
Lastly we have a non-Christmas track. Introducing the somewhat new vid from Tenjo Chiki.

What's Hot and What's good-French Edition
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. Even if you don't celebrate this holiday, I hope you at least spent time with friends and family. Thanksgiving is really the time to sit back and relax and thank those for such a fortunate life. My mom has a plate that is older than me, but it carries a special message-"Thank god for dirty dishes. While others may go hungry, we are eating well." Sounds good right. Coolness.
Sheryfa Luna-Si tu n'etais plus la.
Well, it's that time again. It's the Sunday's what's hot and what's good segment. This time we are going to viva la France! I have been out of touch with the French side of this blog so let's catch up on what's hot in French Music. Today we have a female triple threat.
First off, we have the very beautiful Lea Castel in her video "Presse de Vivre." This girl has mad talent. Lea can bless the ivory keys and she can hit those high notes like Mariah Carey. Check it!
Lea Castel-Presse de vivre
Love it! She kinda reminds me of Alicia Keys. Lea Castel can rock a mean a cappella too.
Next up we have Sheryfa Luna with her new track "Si tu n'etais plus la."
At first, this girl look like Winona Rider. I think it's because of her hair. Yeh, it kinda tripped me out. Even so, this is a great song.
Lastly, we have the very soulful Mayrina Chebel with her awesome track "Tant d'amour a donner." There is something about this song that is beautiful. When I find that out I'll let you know. In the mean time please enjoy her video.
Mayrina Chebel-Tat d'amour a donner
If you like these artists please pick up their albums via online, your friends, or your local international music provider. Share what's hot and what's good in French music with your friends. They will think you're cool...or a fool. No matter, it's all good music. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

What a morning...
I checked my email this morning and Bank of America sent me a notification of some fraudulent charges/irregular activity shit going on my credit card. I called about the issue and some bastard tried using my card to open up an account with Match.com. WTF!!! Talk about desperate. Now, if the criminal used the card for food, gas, or a high purchase I would be like ok that's normal. But Match.com? Come on man. What a loser. Anyways, I got the whole situation under control. Thank you for BofA for their fast and immediate response. Your customer greatly appreciates your business.
The Girl Next Door-Jyounetsu no Daishou
Moving on...
It's sunday. You know what that means? WRONG!!! It's the Sunday-What's hot and what's good segment. Today, we have some killer tracks I'm sure you will love.
First off we have an awesome punk girl group named "Hangry and Angry." These girls have style. I didn't notice it at first, but the girls are from Morning Musume!!! Yoshizawa Hitomi and Rika Ishikawa is rocking the mic y'all! Their song Kill Me Kiss Me is nothing like their personalities from Morning Musume. They are more aggressive in this track. I have to be honest, I like it! If you haven't copped it, watch it!
Hangry and Angry-Kill Me Kiss Mee
Next up we have "The Girl Next Door" with her song "Jyounetsu no Daishou." It's a nice dance track. It makes me want to break out some glow sticks...
The Girl Next Door-Jyounetsu no Daishou
btw, what's up with Japanese and their attraction to England/Britain? I mean there's nothing wrong it. I'm just curious on why Japanese love England/Britain so much. If y'all know, holler at your boy. Break down the knowledge for me.
Alright its time to go. It's breakfast time so I have to get my eat on. Everyone have a wonderful weekend. Peace.

Sunday-What's hot and what's good Edition
Ohayou Gozaimasu! Good morning everyone. It's that time again to bring you what's hot and what's good in Japanese music. Lately, there's been a lot of good music coming out in Japan. You're going to need a filter to bring you what's hot and what's good. So let's get this thang rollin'!
Yuki Koyanagi-We can go anywhere
First off, we have the beautiful half Japanese/Trinidadian chick, Aoyama Thelma with her new track "Mamoritai."
Aoyama Thelma-Mamoritai
Next up we have Yuki Koyanagi with her new single "We can go anywhere."
I'm a new to this girl. Looks like she's been around for a bit. I have to do some research on her. Ya know, see what she's all about.
Lastly, we have the very lovely, very busty DJ Kaori featuring Jay'ed with "You're the only one."
Man, DJ Kaori is cute. She dj's, sings, and she got a big rack. Man what more can you ask for!?Don't think she gotta a big rack? Check this:

Jay'ed is an interesting figure. He's half New Zealand/Japanese. This boy got mad skills on the mic. I know he has an album out, but I can't find it anywhere. If y'all know where to get it, holla at yo boy.
I hope you enjoyed these tunes. Do me a favor and treat yourself to something good this Sunday. You deserve it! Take care everyone.
Peace!

HAPPY POCKY DAY!!!
According to my fiance, November 11th is Pocky day! Why? 11-11 looks like Pocky sticks? Maybe. Nevertheless, it's a great day to buy some Pocky and celebrate the joys of this delicious treat.Never heard of Pocky? No problem. Get familiar with them on their website:
www.pocky.jp
Not much to say today so I leave you with the newest of Pocky commercials. This one is featuring the pretty Shiori Kutsuna.

G'morning everyone. It's Sunday here in gloomy weather California. It's been a crazy week so let's relax with some good music. This is what's hot and what's good.
Wonder Girls-Nobody but you
Perfume-Dream Fighter
I love these girls! They are so cute. Their is something about their music and style that keeps pulling me in. Props out to 1337Rice for hooking this up. BTW, my fiance bought me Perfume's Game Tour DVD. That DVD is so awesome! I'll post pics of the dvd as soon as I get a chance.
On the korean side we got the lovely ladies of "Wonder Girls" with their highly infections hook "I want nobody but you." Enjoy!
I can relate to the guy taking a shit. My brother and I call it the "Shitanics." Shit so bad that it makes you late for any occasion.
I hope you all enjoyed these new tracks. This is what's hot and what's good. Keep checking back in for more good music here at BentoBeatBoxing.
Peace

Now is the time for real change and unite a broken America. Let's move toward a better future with Barack Obama as our leader. God speed everyone.
To end this post I will leave you with the hot, soulful, yet young Japanese group BRIGHT with their new song "I'll be there."
BRIGHT-I'll Be There
These girls are really beautiful. I really wish they appeared more in the video. Anyways, this is what's hot right now in Japanese music. Catch y'all laterz! Peace!
11/02/2008

Michi-Promise
Aira Mitsuki-Robot Honey
First up we have the Half Brit Japanese chick MiChi with her song "Promise." The song definitely has that UK dance feel. All in all it's good music.
Michi-Promise
Next up we have the sweet Aira Mitsuki with her Perfumish sounding track "Robot Honey." I love this track. The beat makes me feel like I'm in video game. I just need a controller. Well, I have my joystick...
Aira Mitsuki-Robot Honey

Add these tracks to your playlist!
Hayai bentobeatbloxin' readers! Karate chop to the jugular. Just kidding. It's been awhile since I posted. Seems like I post once a month eh? I'll try to post more. I promise. My friend called me up and said "you haven't been updating your blog, huh? Ya know, I'm tired of seeing the same people." He was referring to the post with the picture of the cast from Last Friends. Haha! So, to Kenjiboy, here's a post that will send the last post down south.
Let's get to it. I have two videos for you that I'm sure you'll love.
First we have DJ Komori featuring the very fine Chie of Foxxi Misq and blackanese artist Emi Maria. The song is called "Flash" and this track is bangin'! Check yo' urban dictionaries if you don't know what I'm sayin'! Check it!
Chie is too damn fine. I wouldn't mind shagging her and the other members of Foxxi Misq. Ok, I'm going to get in trouble if I keep talking like that soooooo Moving on.
Next we have a year old track. This ones a little different. It's a Japanese emcee with a rhyme that is worth speaking about because he's close to home. Residing in Oakland, CA...or was it Berkeley? I think he's from Berkeley. Anyways, its all Bay Area. We have local emcee, SHING02. This dude has skills! Not to mention the beat he's rapping over...mad hot! Check it!
That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed the music. Keep checking back for more of what's good and what's hot in the Japanese/Korean/European scene. I'll catch y'all laterz. Peace!

Last Friends
I'm a little late on this one. You know the saying though, "it's better late than never."
This Jdrama is called "Last Friends." While I was in Japan, I watched this show with my fiance. This drama really touches home with the reality of the rising numbers of domestic violence among the many women in Japan. Who would've known eh? I didn't think such a thing was so prominent in Japan. Well, that's just me being ignorant. Knowledge is power people. Keep yourself educated.
Anyways, this drama is a tale of a beautiful young woman named Aida Michiru who is down on her luck. She is bullied at the Beauty Parlor where she works at. Eventually she finds support with a man she befriends, Oikawa Sosuke, a child welfare division worker. Michiru falls in love with this person only to find the relationship gets a little sour and becomes a victim of domestic violence. Alas, Michiru is not a loner. She has friends who support her through trying times only they too get caught in the middle of Michiru and Sosuke's quarrels.
Last Friends is a drama that will have you feeling angry with a clenched fist. It makes you want to beat the shit out of Sosuke for beating his girl. Tackling what happens under Domestic Violence is no easy subject, but Last Friends covers it from head to toe. This is a drama that you definitely don't want to miss.
If you haven't seen the drama yet here's a video to get you started.
To learn more about this drama here's a link to the official website
Like the theme song? Me too, here's Utada Hikaru with "Prisoner of Love." Enjoy
G'nite everyone. Peace

After hours. Bored. Need a hobby or something...
Man, it's true when my professor said "after a month or so of working at your design job, its going to kick in, yah know, panic... because after work their is no homework. Suddenly you realize you have a lot of time on your hands. Now what?"
My professor was right on the money. I come home and do my normal routine. Eat dinner, turn on the tube and watch some cnn. Check some emails. Check my blog. Hit up youTube and watch a little SNSD and some jpop vids. Finally, sleep. My routine is getting a little boring. I need a new hobby or something.
I did pick up a "Learn Japanese while you drive" audio cd. So far it has been very helpful. I listen to it while on my morning commute to work. So far my favorite phrases are " Ima jya nai." This means "not now." Another phrase is "Kono kanji dakedo motto okii desu." This means "It's like this only bigger." haha! nam sayin'? I love this cd because it gives me something to do while driving. I definitely recommend this cd for the people who commute. It's convenient and worth giving a try.
I'm slowly moving back towards music only because I'm concerned for my older bro. He is unemployed and all he does is play his god forsaken Call of Duty game in the dead of night with the volume on blast. I'm tired of hearing "Our UAV is online" as well as my brothers constant cursing. I love my bro, but man please learn some respect for the people that live with you. Turn the volume down please.
The reason I'm moving towards music again is because my brother needs an income. I suggested selling beats $25-$100. You know, at a price people can afford. Say if you sold 10 beats for $100. There goes a $1000 in your pocket. I mean we have a vast library of beats we can sell. Easy right? Well, my brother needs a little push.
It hurts me when he says he hasn't touch the music or at least tell me he's working on the music, but doesn't. I'm doing my part in trying to get him some customers, but I'm not sure if he's doing his part to complete the transaction. I want him to succeed, but in his eyes I see that he is not fully confident in himself.
Granted my bro can be annoying most of the times, but that's what many brothers do. The thing I don't want to see is my older brother fail. He is smart and intelligent, but he doesn't have the confidence to push himself to his highest potential. Is it age? Is it low self esteem? Is he ashamed of his life? He shouldn't be because he has people around him who loves him for himself. Me, I show my love in a stern 'a-hole and sarcastic sort of way, but that's how I am. Underneath that sarcastic bullcrap is nothing but a lot of love for my bro. If he ever reads this, I just want to let him know that I got his back. He has to promise me though, no bullshit and no slacking, and no getting side tracked. If music is his passion, then he should put his heart and soul into it. Godspeed brother.
Speaking of god, I started going back to church on Sundays. Lately, I've been blessed with a lot of things. A new job, a new car, and a beautiful fiance. I can't thank the man above enough for blessing me. That is why I'm going to try to make it my weekend routine to go to church on Sundays. God has been good to me. I just wanted to show my appreciation. Keep in mind you don't have to go to church all the time. As long as you have faith in your god then nothing can go wrong. I'm Catholic and my fiance is Buddhist. Nothing wrong with that. I was raised to never look down on anybodies religion. It is what it is. If you got a problem with someone's religion then you have mad problems buddy. Anyways...
I think I've written too much so I shall leave you with the very soulful Fuyumi Abe.
Fuyumi Abe-青春と路地
One more video...
From CSJH! They finally came out with a new video named "Here." I posted this track on an earlier post, but there was no actual video attached so here it is.
CSJH-Here feat. Cliff
Personally, I love their japanese lyrics, but they sing much better in korean. All in all, they are still one of koreas best all female group vocalists.
Alright everyone. Time to start my day so I say peace. Peace. jya ne!

Had Overtime Today. Tsukaretayo!
Hello everyone. Today was a crazy day at work. We had a tight deadline for our companies website and that thang was just overwhelming. I had overtime for 3 days straight and finally finished. It felt like school all over again. Good thing we have an awesome crew to get the website done for our head boss to see. I have to say that even though this project was overwhelming it was exciting and fun. I was like a little kid holding in my giggles. When I was driving home I had the urge to just burst out into laughter. It was funny because the laughter came out quite psychotic. Almost like a mad scientist laugh. In words, it looked like this: MMUUHUWAHAHA!
Pretty crazy eh?
Well, I'm glad to be finally home. My fiance sent me a link of the new video from SPONTANIA featuring JUJU. The song is called "君のすべてに" (Kimi no subete ni). I believe that translates to "You're my everything." I love this song! It sounds great. Check it out!
Spontania- Kimi no subete ni
What yah think? After hearing this, I want to hear more from this guy. JuJu is already awesome singer. She got that jazz and that soul that makes you wanna mmmm. You know what I mean?
This next song is actually a late 90's classic from the Korean group As One. This song is called "Day by Day." These girls do well on ballads, I'm not too fond of their fast music. It doesn't suit their voices well. Even so, these girls got talent. Check it!
As One-Day by Day
Well, to end this post I'm going to leave you with one of my favorite ending songs from the 2003 Japanese drama Orange Days. Enjoy and god bless everyone.
Mr. Children-Sign

Perfume still got it!
I found this video of Perfume's live performance of their song "Love the World." Check it out!
Nocchi is so hot. She has nice legs. I want to touch her legs. Those shorts. Oh lawd, those short shorts! Sigh...Legs...
I can't wait for Perfume's next music video. Hayaku Perfume! Atarashi no video ga mitai desu! Next post, I'll be talking about my new routine for my commute to work. It's going to be good stuff. Be sure to keep checking back. Leave a comment or something. This blog is chirping crickets...Time to get this blog out there! Gambarimasu!

Happy Sunday.
Ohayo gozaimasu! It's Sunday. It's hot. The air condition was on all night. Electricity bill will be up. Damn this economic down surge. Times like these can be stressful. As long as you budget your money and spend it wisely then you will have no problem. In other words, don't buy more than what you make. Although I admit that would be nice...
Lately, I've been looking around blogs and seeing some of the predictions I have made when I had my old blog "Dont Touch My Jpop" come into fruition. It was kinda like I had an "I told you so" moment but reality checked in and well, nobody really visits my blog. Haha! I'm such a loser. Anyways, popularity is not a goal of mine for this blog. If you stop by you stop by. Moving on.


Here's a group I've been praising since they came out. AKB48.

I knew from the beginning these girls were going to be something great. It's been two years now and the fame that these girls are receiving is never ending. These girls are everywhere and are always growing in numbers. The old school girls that have been there from the jump are looking super kawaii than ever. Ever since "Skirt, Hirari" these girls were cute and had the potential to be something great. I'm proud of these girls for getting this far in their music career. I hope they will have more successes to come. Check out their new video
BABY BABY BABY
I have to say the beginning cut scenes did not make sense, but was pretty revealing. Well, sexual and suicidal at most... It was almost like Maeda was about to have sex for the first time and it didn't go too well. Man these Japanese people are crazy, but you gotta love it. English subtitles during that scene should be "Please be gentle." Man that is so wrong of me...Anyways, enjoy this video. Unlike their other videos the girls are showing more skin. Maybe sales are down(or up) so they went the Tanimura Nana route and showed more skin. Hey, I'm not complaining. That's the music biz for yah. Check these girls out and I'm sure you'll learn to love them...In a mutual friend way...You sick bastard.
Oh, if you're new to this group here is their debut video
Skirt, Hirari
Another prediction I made was about Morning Musume's member Koharu Kusumi.

I predicted that she would be hot and the "it" girl of Morning Musume. Man...this girl has blown up! From sexy and revealing magazine covers/photo shoots to day time shows to jdramas. There is no stopping this chick and for good reason. She's cute, ambitious, and doesn't give up. A lot of people had many expectations and doubts about Koharu in the past, but she surpassed any obstacle that was given to her. Omedetto gozaimasu Koharu chan!
That's all for my predictions lets move to something nice. What's nice? Yoona of SNSD of course! This Korean chick is so cute. There is something about her that reminds me of my fiance. Both are cute, adorable, and lovable. Here's a video cut of her just being her. Yoona!
I love this group. All of the girls are pretty but Yoona always stands out from the rest. Go Yoona!
Alright folks, its time for me to go. Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are. Peace

R.I.P. Matt Garcia
Today is a sad day. A good man I knew who put his heart out for the city I live in has passed away. Read the story here SFGATE
There are no words to describe how I feel about this. This was a man who wanted to make my city better. He wanted to give back to the youth because many of them end up in gangs, jail, or in a body bag. He was our hope for bringing peace to this city. My question is why? WHY? How does this type of thing happen to such a great person? Damn...I'm tired of these thugs and gangsters and the lifestyle the mainstream seems to glorify. This is not the way to teach our kids. That lifestyle does not teach respect in a civilized manner. It only teaches kids, "You cross my path, I'll kill you." We should be showing kids that their is more to life than being "gangsta" or "thugged out." Kids don't know they have options. I'm going off tangent...I better stop before I get too personal.
City Councilman Matt Garcia you will be missed. This video is for you homie
Ps. Matt, I never got the chance to take you up on that offer for lunch...

Did you catch Obama?
Ladies and gentlemen,

I've been inspired by a great man whose vision has brought me back home to America. Barrack Obama. This man is the vision of a new America. His vision of an America that is unified, equal, and, most importantly, about the people is something right out of a Martin Luther King dream. Obama is that person to make those dreams come true for us Americans. Let's face it, our economy and our well being is as flacid as old mans penis(sans the viagra). Hell, we are so broke we are borrowing money from China to help us bring our economy back.

We need someone who is strong and willing to thrust his mighty staff at the government, lobbyists, and dirty corporate phucs and tell them "enough is enough." Stop phucking with the American people. You're own people and give back to them. Don't send jobs overseas just to save a buck. You do that and what happens? Americans lose jobs. BTW 8 years is enough! If you watched Obama speak or if you've been keeping up with the Democratic National Convention (DNC) you know what I mean.
It's time to take this country back! This is the year of the Democrats. (I should say its the year of the American people) I've been a proud Democrat since 1993 when Clinton was president. Clinton did a wonderful job before his little incident. Aside from that, he was one of the best damn presidents this country could ever have. Obama will be the continuation where the Clinton Administration left off. I truly believe he will lead us to a better and brighter future and under his presidency will help move forward in building a better America.
BTW, did you see that one emotional chick at the DNC two days ago who said she is a "hardcore Democrat" and said because Hillary is no longer in the race she may have to stay home and not vote. FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! To me, that is not a true Democrat. She really pissed me off. This lady is missing the point. I think she wants another 4 more years of Bush's failed policies. Policies that will be proceeded by McCain if he does get elected. To that biotch, listen to yourself. Are you willing to put America through 4more years of war? Are you willing to put America in the hands of a person who would like to see your money fund this war in Iraq instead of using it for furthering the American education system? Are you willing to put your families financial future at risk all because Hillary didn't win? Lady, you are full of shit and a freaking coward. Didn't you hear Hillary Clinton say "No way, no how, no McCain?" I guess she was taking a shit while she made that speech.
Anyways, VOTE OBAMA. This coming November get out of your house and vote. If you are ready for a change vote Obama. If you are ready to take our country back and give it back to the people vote for Obama. If you are tired having to struggle to hold down the fort at home and at work vote for Obama and he will do his best to help you. Be inspired. Be ready for change. Dream big. Pray for a better America. Vote Obama!

Woop! It's the weekend (^_^)
Well, it looks like I survived the first week at my new job. So far I have to say the work itself is easy. The only thing I have to get used to is the process of how things work at the Print shop. Overall, I think I'm going to like this job. It keeps me busy plus the time goes by really quick because I'm having a fun time designing. Soon, I'll be interacting with customers. I have to memorize the pricing and procedures. There's a lot to take in and consume but I'm not worried though. I feel confident that I can do it. Gambarimasu! So the next step for me is to try to become knowledgeable about the companies graphic services so I can verse it well to the clients. It's going to be one hell of a ride but damn its fun! Speaking of rides, my 2009 Mazda3 is off the heezee beezee! I finally have a cd player to play my music. My old car had a tape deck which sucked bcoz I wanted to listen to my jpop which were on cd's. Now that I have a cd player it's been nothing but Crystal Kay, CSJH, Mflo, and Monkey Majik. Life is great.

Monkey Majik-"Tada Arigato"
Oh, a couple days ago I stopped by the mac online wesbite to look for new widgets and I came across this page for a music widget...

...and what do yah know. Monkey Majik's lyrics for "Around the World" are displayed on this page! Cool desune? Got to love dem Japanese speakin' white boys from Canada. I love hearing Blaise Planets voice. He has this vibe to his voice that makes me want to break out and sing. I had their song "Together" on repeat and I think in one commute drive I have memorized the song. Crazy. Great music.
Alright it's time to start the weekend. I have to figure out what to do. I don't have to worry about homework or anything this weekend....oh wait...it's pay my bills weekend. damn....
To close this post, here's the new music video from Monkey Majik called "Tada Arigato."
Have a great weekend everyone. Peace

Good Day Bad Day.
Hello folks! Today was my first day for work with the company I applied for. For privacy issues, I will call my job the Print Place. So far it has been a bit overwhelming, but that's a given for the first day on the job. I have to learn a new system on how to handle files. I'm sure in time I will be comfortable with the process so I'm not worried at all. I finally got my own plans for Medical, Dental, and Vision. I'm definitely excited about that. Overall, it was a good day until I hit lunch time. As I was buying some Taco Bell I couldn't find my ATM card. I was like "Sh!t!" I ended up using my toll money to buy lunch. That reminds me, I have to sign up for FastTrack. That way I don't have to go the bank every weekend to scurry for toll money. After I found that I couldn't find my ATM I became a little antsy because I usually don't lose stuff. When I got home, I looked around my house. Nothing. Looked on my account online to make sure nobody tried to use my card. No activity. Then I went to the last place I was at when I last used my card. Drove to Kinko's. Nothing. Came back home, look around my room and YAY!!! I found my ATM card! It was camouflaged in the mess of my room. I didn't see it the first time. I'm glad I checked twice. Errr four times. I have to clean it again. Anyways, my bday becomes good again. Happy happy desu!
Well, tomorrow is going to be another interesting day. I hope I get to do some actual work. I'm excited to do some graphics and fixes. Just to let you know, "fixes" are jobs that some designers hate doing, but it has to be done. Remember if your printing with a printing press remember to read the directions carefully about cuts, bleeds, and safe zones. Make sure to get it right otherwise your file will get kicked back and you would have to submit it again the right way.
Well, its almost bed time. Before I go here's a vid of SNSD calling for SM global auditions for Girl's Generation. I'm just amazed at how intelligent and cultured these girls are. Each has their own trait and strengths. I like how some members speak different languages. Check out this vid.
Man, just lovely. Alright time for bed. Oyasumi

I got a new car!
Wassup folks! Genki? Me? I'm super genki! Why? I just bought a new car! Check it out y'all!

This is a 2009 Mazda3. This baby is off the hook. We got a damn good deal on this car. When I say "we" I'm talking about my dad and I. I have to give it up for my pops. He is a great negotiator. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to get the car at the price I got it. I'm so happy. My old car was a 1999 Ford Escort. We had some good times. I definitely will miss my old car. To tell you the truth, it was hard to make the transition because I really liked my Ford. Thus, with this new car I will make sure to treat it like I did with my old car. I'm gon' ride it till the wheels fall off. Time to ride!
So for the time being, I won't be able to go out for a month or two. I want to build up my funds again because I have another important event coming soon. My fiance will be coming soon so I want to make sure I'm good with my money to support her. Like I always say, it's going to be a journey, but I'm up for the challenge. Like my fiance says "gambarimasuyo!" Take care everyone.
