お買い物に行ってきました。。。

I did a bit of shopping today.... I went out with my Dad to a new shopping centre, and I bought new earphones for my MP3 player because the last set I bought just 6 months ago is already broken!! >___<

I also bought a headset for my laptop, so now I can finally use Skype... it was complete with a web cam, so if you want to see my ugly face just contact me on MSN!! XDDD

The item I'm happiest for though is THE BOOK: finally yesterday the postman brought me my "Securing Japan"!!!

I simply love Amazon.UK : I ordered the book last Thursday, on Friday they had already shipped it, and in a week I had it.... *_____* and I even spent less than I thought, because with the first site where I ordered it (and didn't get it >__<) I'd have spent about €34 (shipping expenses included), with Amazon I only paid €27 shipping included.... Ureshii!!

Anyway, the book is really interesting: I'm only at Chapter 1 (thanks to my Dad who drags me shopping) but it's very easy to understand even it the topic is quite intricated (Japanese Defense policy from Meiji era until today... ESPECIALLY about the current debate on Defense) I really like Prof. Samuels' writing style...

Since I love Defense-related matters, and Internatinal Relations topics, and I chose this topic as thesis, I'm not frightened by the complexity of the debate, nor about the amount of information.... It's just that maybe I should have started reading and writing this summer (when I had loads of time)...

I know said book got out on sale only a month ago, and that the 3 years-degree is not really THAT important (it's the biennale degree, the additional two years of university, that counts), but I really want to do a good job.... I can always write now a "simpler" thesis, and in two years write another thesis on the same topic, comparing the actual situation with the changes that will happen in the future... XDD

I'm still quite stuck with writing though.... I mean, I know what I want to write, it's just that I think I need a bit more material to read to make my ideas clearer... I hope this book helps me...

頑張りましょう～～～～

On the happier side of things... Monday I finally saw AAA + in Dome (not the original dvd, because I was too broke to buy it.... XDD)

It's really good!!! I thought it'd be a replay of the Taipei concert with only a few different song, instead they put on a really good show...

I mean, Nino was so high tension.. I've never seen him so exited!! ^__^

Sho-chan really surprised me with his hip-rollling movement in Cool&Soul... Sho-chan, I thought you were the shy one of the group?? XDD Anyway it was really セクシ, so I won't complain!! ^^

Aiba-chan crying during Kansha really moved me... 超かわいい！！And Ohno's "Rain" dance never fails to amaze me.. he SO good!!!

The only thing I'd have scratched form the dvd was Hime-sama's solo.... BLUE bathrobe and PINK capris???

Where the f*** did you find those clothes Jun?? They're HORRIBLE!!! I mean, even the Yabai x3 outfit was (slightly XD) "lookable"..... And to think that you're a fashion whore...

How about you perform with NO clothes on?? At least you wouldn't be dressed as a girl... and we fans would be REAAAAALLY happy... XDDD

(please, just kill me now for this H thought... ^^)

Now I just want the Time dvd... and I WILL buy it for sure... I want to see them on my TV screen with Dolby-surround... (that will make my parents really happy... ^________^)

Speaking of parents.... I was driving with my Dad this morning, and I put on the Time cd in the car... When "Frienship" was playing my Dad was whistling it!!! すげえ！

My Mom already knows they're called "Arashi", now I just need to "indoctrinate" my Dad..... XDDD

Now I just need to focus myself, and finish writing the thesis, graduate and I can sleep for a week.. before going back to study for the exams!!! International Economy, Compared Social Systems and Antropology (which I absolutely HATE!!)

頑張れ樹利亜。。。I HAVE to make it!! ALL!!^^
