Nothing better than a TOKIO song to get my spirits up.... I'm a bit depressed because some bad things happened two days ago, and I'm still quite angry and disappointed...
Anyway, Happy Easter to everyone, even though it's already come and gone.. XDD I spent the day with my family at Uncle's house, and I played the whole afternoon with my cousin with the Wii!!! *___* It's so cool that consolle!!!
I'm so freaking addicted to it, that last Friday I went with Moni and Gaia to Hachiko's house to play with it, and I begged my cousin to lend me her Wii this week since she's in Barcelona for her school trip!! XDD I found out I'm quite good at golf and tennis (now that I learned the tricks ^_-), but I'm and ace at bowling!! Yesterday I did 2 stikes running!! XDD
Thank goodness for the boxe game, because it helped a lot to relieve yesterday's stress, when I found out that the Italian Post lost me two of the books I ordered on Amzon!!! I can't believe that they could get lost items wrapped in parcel...
But the thing that really pissed me off was that the first time I went to the post office to ask for an explanation, I was told "oh, we remember this package, this morning it seemed fuller and heavier" = meaning that that morning all 3 books were inside the parcel. And yet, the second time I went there they told me "oh no, it's not possible that we lost the books here, they must have gotten lost at the post centre in Milan" ムカつく Part 1...
And whem my Mum pointed out that "it's absurd that people'd steal some books in English" the woman said "but there are people who read books in English" ... Yeah, but I'd really like to know who this arse is, because those were books on Japanese Politics, for which I spent nearly 70 euros and I need them for university!!! I don't know how many people in a 3000-habitants town besides me are interested in Japanese Politics.... >____< 超むかつく！！
They really tried to make fools out of my Mum and me, and this is the thing I really can't accept: the Post is a public service, paid with our taxes, and I pretend that people to their job seriously and treat the clients as they should be treated...
The only consolation is that when I wrote to Amazon to ask whether I could get a refund or anything, they replied within not even 2 hours, and they told me they'd ship another copy of the 2 books, with no expenses at all... *__* I love Amazon, because it isn't absolutely their fault, and yet they're willing to deliver me for free the lost items, so I can keep shopping with them.. This is what I call doing serious business!!!
Now I just hope that the new delivery will get safely...
..... and also the DVD I ordered on Amazon.de!! I bought "Godzilla Final Wars" the German edition!! XDDD I found the movie on internet, because Matsuoka stars in it, and buying the DVD on CDJapan costs nearly 30 euros... and then I find the German Limited edition for just 10 euros!!! XDDD I just couldn't not buy it!!! XDD It must be the trashiest movie in all history, it's in Japanese and German with no English subs at all, but I want to see it!!! XDD
Talking about Matsuoka there were really wonderful news about TOKIO recently: at their first show at Nippon Budokan on March 8th, Yamaguchi announced that he got married with his long-time girlfriend, and they're already expecting a baby!!!! *_____________* おめでとう～～～～～～！！！
And then two days later in an interview, Mabo reveals that he's living together with his girlfriend of 5 years... おめでとう！！(though I have to admit that I was a bit shocked at this, since Mabo is my ichiban... XDD)
I'm really happy for them, even if I know them only by name, because they're human beings (even if a lot more fortunate than us, because they're living their dream, which is something that many people can't achieve), and they deserve all the happiness!!! ^^
Now I have to get down and get some serious studying done since the exams are getting nearer and I really want to do well, especially in International Relations and Japanese Culture: we're talking about international relations btwn Japan and other countries, especially US, so I MUST get the maximum score!! I mean, it's the same topic as my thesis, this is my field, the one I want to specialize in to, and the job I'd like to do when I'm out of uni, so I can't help but do my best!! 頑張ろう樹利亜！！！
I miss my friends though: Fede and Alice are busy with work, Moni and Valeria with their thesis and they're not attending the graduate courses, so I can't meet them often; thank goodness I can regularly see Valentina and Gaia, and Laura, otherwise I'd go crazy!!! I just can't wait for some free-time weekend to meet with everyone at someone's home (mine is always free!! ^__-) and spend some good time altogether.... I miss you guys!!!
今お腹がすいてるから、食べに行きま～す！！XDDD
またね！！！
It's about a week that every time I come back to school I find something in the mail... last Friday were the results of the Noryoku Shiken: 366/400!!! YATTA!! I did 95/100 in kanjis, 91/100 in the listening comprehension and 180/200 in the grammar part!!! ^____________^ Chou ureshii!!
And yesterday when I got back home my Mum told me "today the postman brought a package for you" and I went "KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" My TOKIO's "sugar" album finally arrived!!!
I ordered the limited edition B, and the DVD is really wonderful!! I was really touched by all the efforts they put in the recording, you can clearly see how they care about making a prefect song....
Japan not-related things are the dinner I had last Friday with all the ex classmates (it went pretty well, but nothing special -___-) and the graduation party at Valentina's place!! Sugoku tanoshikatta!!!
And the pizzas Vale's Dad prepared for us were one of the best pizza I ever ate!!!! *______________*
And this Saturday we're going out and eat Japanese for Valeria's birthday&Womens' Day!!! ^____________^
But before I have to finish the presentation for Japanese Culture class, about..... yes, the relationship between Japan and US = the same things I put in my my graduation paper.. LUCKY!!! XDDD
