FAMILY AFFAIR

the last time shuuhei and i went to tsukiji market s probably 19 years ago. and we didn't really wanna go because we had to wake up at 4 in the morning.

this time, i wasn't really up for it either. i reached home far too late the night before and only managed to sleep for an hour before shuuhei woke me up. i don't really remember what happened at the auction. shuuhei swore i was shut down while standing beside him during it. i don't remember dad bidding for 2 tunas and i sure don't remember taking photos during auction. even the stench didn't bother me. i should not have partied so much with shin the night before.

VENGEFUL SISTER

it's a revenge. not only the skinny shin and i had to haul the unconscious 76kg you home last night, you wouldn't wake up when i smacked you a few times in the afternoon to meet mom for lunch. i even called you a couple of times while i was on my way to meet mom and you wouldn't pick them up. then i had to lie to mom saying you had an emergency back the hospital so you gonna take a raincheck. i texted you the excuse but somehow you called mom and said something else.

thank you 鎌田周平.

新年あけましておめでとうございます.

it's been so long since i typed in japanese and also pretty much useless to write in japanese since all of you CAN read in english! anyway, that's a standard new year greeting for you non-japanese speakers.

those first 8 words pretty much tell you how our house warming/new year's party was like. to be honest, it was more of a new year's party. not that i'm complaining, we even did mochi ourselves an played fukuwarai. and food was so good that there was no leftover. LOL shuuhei and i were hoping for leftovers! we no longer have mom to cook for us, y'know!

lastly, thank you shin.
