Dog Days of summer!

How's everyone on this hot and humid day? It is certainly the "dog days of summer" in Japan. Its pretty hot--but that I don't mind so much--its the humidity! How do you keep cool during these dog days of summer. Have you ever heard of this term: "dog days of summer"? Well, it comes from the ancient Romans, for which they named the brightest star in the Canis Major (big dog) constellation, Sirius ("dog star"). They thought this "dog star" was the reason for the heat in July and August, so hence the phrase: dog days of summer.

Any plans for summer?
It's a busy week for me this week. I celebrated my birthday this past Tuesday, August 6th, with a few of my friends at Torikizoku--we did a nomi/tabehoudai party at one of the branches. It was a very eventful dinner--it was great. And this coming Sunday, August 11th, I will go to Summer Sonic. I am so excited to see Metallica and heaps of other bands that will be there (...but not ready for the heat). And then, next week, I will be going to Malyasia, Kuala Lumpur, for 3 days. All I have to say is: ROOFTOP POOL!!! The hotel I will be staying at has a rooftop pool--I can't wait! But I have no time to pack!!!!

Here are some pictures of from my birthday party.
