What a Weekend...

2006-12-19T13:26:00.000+09:00

One of my closest boys, Ivan (Iban) Kaulana Kenji Duldulao, came to the CHI this past weekend from good 'ol Tucson, Arizona. I was hoping to see what one Hawaiian looked like freezing his okole off in -6 degree weather but alas, it wasn't meant to be. You lucky, Kaulana! And eh, you left about 10 A&W Rootbeers in my fridge, one Hostess Pudding Cake, a whole package of Kings Hawaiian Sweet Bread and a 3/4 eaten tub of Rainbow Sherbert....not to mention the caramel mac nut popcorn (much mahalos, auntie!) your mom got me.....damn you! Always good to see you, brah. Hopefully I'll see you again soon!

Mr. Ian Ginoza was also in town and showed us a good time at a dope spot called Boutique. Partying w/ the Saint Alfred fam is always a good time. Much mahalos, Ian.

Enjoy...

First stop....Aloha Grill, of course.

My good friend Michelle and her 1.5yr old son, Tai, decided to stopped over in Chicago for a few hours on their way to the in-laws in Ohio to say hello. I hadn't seen Michelle since her wedding in '02 and it was my first time meeting the little one. Now, I know kids have a lot of energy, but man, I was sweating like I was working out trying to keep up with Tai! I don't know how she does it! It was really great seeing you and Tai, Michelle! Thanks so much for stopping by and hope to see you guys again soon.

Awwww....

Tai pretty much had this look on his face when he looked at me until he got used to Uncle Ross

So we had our company Christmas party last weekend. I was pretty impressed. Open bar and the food was awesome, especially the tenderloin. Everyone got pretty ripped. Kaku was taking shots the whole night with anyone that would take them with him and I found myself stumbling after numerous glasses of wine. Needless to say, the next morning was brutal...

Ann Arbor Road Trip

2006-09-15T07:49:00.000+09:00

Wow, it's been over a month since I've updated this so here's a big update for those of you that look at this....

So yeah, I'm STILL in frickin Chicago. I'm supposed to go back to Tokyo at the end of this month but I highly doubt that is going to happen. In a nutshell, we're having problems setting up an account w/ a clearing firm in Tokyo since the company we used to clear was absorbed by UBS. It's going on 5 months of living out of a motherfucking suitcase w/ the same goddamn clothes! And on top of that, it's starting to get a little chilly here in the Midwest and I have no warm clothes....FAK!

Anyway...So Claire invited Kaku and me up to Ann Arbor for a University of Michigan football game last weekend. Now, I thought U of A was white, but Ann Arbor is on another level. That place was the WASP-iest (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) place I have ever been to. I have no idea how my dad survived his undergrad there, especially back then.

It was a crazy weekend, though. I seriously wasn't prepared for the excessive amount of drinking that was going to take place, especially since I was under the assumption that Claire and her Michigan Law friends didn't party that hard.....I sorely underestimated them.....I think I'm still drunk and it's been about a week. It is a little disconcerting, though, that LAW students party that hard. Maybe that's why our judicial system is so fucked up.....what do you think, Claire? HAHAHAHA!!

So on the first night we downed 8 pitchers of Stella Artois while playing a game called Quarters til 3am. Then I was awoken at 6am by the blaring music of frat row. Then we stumbled out of bed and went to Claire's friends house to tailgate at 9am. More beer and games of flip cup and spinning flip cup ensued. Then we went to the Big House to watch the game. That place is unbelievable. It seats 107,501 people! But then it starts pouring down the coldest rain I have ever felt and the game is delayed due to weather for the 1st time in the stadiums 79yr history! WTF! Cold, wet, and hungover from the night before, we decided to get some sleep and rest up for our last night there. That night we crashed Claire's friends birthday party at this restaraunt, went to the most haole bar I've ever been to called Rick's, had a few beers, watched Claire touch her knee's to her elbow's and called it a night.

It was a whirlwind weekend and a lot of fun. Much mahalos for showing us such hospitality, Claire!

$2.50 Toll!

Needless to say, we didn't watch much TV at Claire's....

It's been a minute since my last post but here are some pics since I've been back in Chicago.

Being back in the States has been nice. Cruzin with all the Chicago boys and little things like American TV; Sportscenter, the new season of Rescue Me, MTV, etc. I have this channel right now called MTV Jams. It's just straight Hip Hop and RnB videos. No commercials what-so-ever. I guess it's only available if you get the most expensive cable package possible, but it's totally worth it.

I am looking forward to getting back to Tokyo, though. August 26th is my return date but I may have to stay in Chicago longer for work....hopefully not, though.

Anyways, this past weekend some friends and I went to the southside of Chicago for the PHLI block party. Rhymefest was set to be there and we got there right as the performance was going to start. I was getting my camera ready and I hear Kanye's song "Drive Slow" start playing. Then, I hear Kanye rappin....I looked up and Kanye was 20 feet in front of me! Kanye, GLC and Rhymefest performed a bunch of songs. Crazyness....

Well, this was my last weekend in Tokyo until I get back from Chicago in a little over a month. It'll be nice to get back to the good 'ole US of A for a minute.

Had a pretty full weekend as you can see from the pics. I'll keep posting from the CHI so stay tuned...

The two days I spent back in Kona was a much needed break from the hussle and bussle of the city. It has always been a very special and cathartic place for me. The coffee farm, our vegetable garden, mountain apple tree's, papaya tree's, our taro patch, the flower garden...you just can't beat it. It was disappointing, however, to see how developed Kailua Kona is becoming, though. The traffic is just ridiculous and the amount of housing developments in the Keahou area are insane. I was talking with a friends uncle from Ka'u about that who said it was because all the youth move to Oahu or the mainland and the "white man" has come in. As long as they keep the development limited to Kailua and South Kona stays country, I have no problem.....

there are still small shrines like this.

I forget what this boutique was called but it looked pretty cool

Prada. Amazing architecture. Won quite a few awards, I hear.

This place is just amazing. It's part of the popular "Hills" series here in Tokyo. All the high end stores you can think of you can find in here. There are also apartment rentals that range from $3000 to $20,000USD per month.

Ura-Harajuku Pt 2

2006-06-10T18:31:00.000+09:00

So I finally remembered to bring my map this weekend and hit up all the spots I couldn't find on my own in Ura Harajuku.

BOUNTY HUNTER

Great store, great toys, but they had a poor selection of clothing. I was kind of disappointed. They must sell out of all their good shit real quick because I see so many people wearing dope B x H shit. I guess that means I'll be stoppin by every weekend.....

TAB DEVICE

Carries Hiroshi Fujiwara's Fenom line and Fragment x Levis. Saw a few Fenom pieces. Didn't see any of the Fragment jeans, though. They also carried a full line of Staple products from tee's to a Staple x Gortex jacket.

TAB DEVICE

Had by far the most unique and interesting layout of any shop I've been to. Very sheek and classy. This huge metal horse was in one of the rooms. If you look at the mirror you'll see some shirts hanging and then a few Levi's to the right. Pretty cool, imo.

MADHECTIC

This store was a nice surprise. I was under the impression they were a sneaker shop, 1st and foremost. I was wrong. A ton of clothing from tee's to jeans to sweaters. They had some nice pieces. Will definately be going back there quite a bit.

FIBEROPS

Nice store all the way around. Some dope tee's. They had one with a picture of Adolf Hitler's face on the front and it said "Jesus" underneath it.....now that's one someone could only wear here in Japan. They also had all the new IN4MATION tee's. I would have bought everyone but they were all $60USD and I'm going back to Hawaii next week anyway, so hopefully they'll still have some back home.

BAPEXCLUSIVE

First you see all the kicks in the window. Then you walk in and the entire ceiling is green Bape camo. Walk upstairs and the walls are black with Bape starts going around the room, which also change color every few seconds. Then you see the sneaker wall, but before you get to that, there is a converyer belt encased in glass with Bapes going around in circles......SO DOPE.

Pick Ups

2006-06-10T18:08:00.000+09:00

So I have shown a lot of restraint since being here and not bought a damn thing....that changed today. My first official purchases in Tokyo. Good ones, too.....

See for youself:

The Stash P Rods aren't supposed to drop for a little while more in the U.S., so when I saw them in the window I was like, "Hmmmmmmmmm....."

I couldn't believe there was no line, let alone the only one in the store!

The tags on them are Nike Japan tags, too. Pretty dope. Nice surprise.

Bounty Hunter. So hot.

And another one

Yakiniku

2006-06-10T17:56:00.000+09:00

Mr. Artis and I had dinner in the Jyuban the other night. This has to be one of my favorite foods. We also saw Antonio Inoki, a famous former wrestler who is now a behind the scenes player in Pride and K-1. The place was full and loud, but when he and his party got up to leave, everyone shut the fuck up and didn't say a word. I thought that was pretty funny...

Tongue Shio aka Salted Tongue

Tongue, Kalbi, Jyou Kalbi (better cut of meat), Roast (pork), and Allens Kimchee

Allen cheesin'...

Club FOB

2006-06-08T17:32:00.000+09:00

No, I'm not joking or poking fun at the people at this party. It is an actual even that is thrown every month at a different club and it's called Club FOB......yes, laugh, because I was laughing my ass off too.

This month it was held at Club M and was actually a pretty solid party. Mostly international kids but yes, there were FOBs there. Two hiphop dance troupes performed, which I thought was pretty random, but they were alright. All in all, 'twas a kood night.

Urine shots

Hiro makes this face when he gets shut D....yes, he looks like this often....HAHAHA!

Drop it like it's FOB....I mean, hot...

The girls

Steve and his girl

FOBs getting down...

Sorry...

2006-06-08T17:21:00.000+09:00

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Between getting sick, work, trying to find an apartment and getting my visa situation in order, it's been a pain in the ass. Plus, who reads this? Hmmm...

So finding an apartment here has been such a fucking debacle. Not only are the places I looked at smaller than my bathroom back in Chicago, you could be making payments on a house back in the US for monthly rent. There's all these fee's and so by the time it's all said and done, you end up payin like 5 months rent up front.....WTF!? Now I understand why so many young people here live at home still.

My visa is a whole 'nother story. I was trying to get a long term resident visa and save my company the hassle of a shitload of paperwork and a shitload of money but I spent the first half of the day at the immigration office and was told I don't qualify. 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese Americans qualify, but if you're 4th generation, you have to be under 20 yrs old. I'm 4th generation and I'm 25, so the guy told me I'm shit outta luck......what a bunch of horseshit....

Anyway, I'm having trouble getting an apartment because I don't have a visa yet and so the real estate company is trying their best to get me one. The owner of the building I was looking at said it was fine but the insurance company is giving them a hard time.......this is supposed to be resolved by tonight so I'll know if I have to stay in a fucking serviced apt that costs an arm and a leg or will be able to get the apartment I was hoping for in Roppongi.....to be continued....

Fuggin Sick....

2006-05-31T17:46:00.000+09:00

Cold sweats + cough + headache + stuffiness + randomly selected Japanese medicine= Not good.....

Purple Curtains?!

2006-05-24T19:49:00.000+09:00

So Hiro and I went to grab a bite to eat one day in Shibuya. We found this Thai spot and when we were lead to our table, we noticed the purple curtains over all the booths....it was shmall kine intimate for just the two of us but we found it to be pretty damn hilarious nonetheless.....

Eh Jerrel, Kaulana, Gyle and Jojo;

I know you guys are feeling de furfle curtains but, unfortunately, they wouldn't tell me where they got 'em from but I'm sure you guys can find something similar.....in Waipahu....or Kalihi....HAHAHA!

Fuck, thats too frickin funny!!!

Asparagus wrapped in bacon....I don't know how this is considered Thai but it didn't matter...soh berry berry goo!

Ura-Harajuku Continued....

2006-05-24T18:34:00.000+09:00

A few more.....(this site doesn't let me post more than a certain amount of pictures per post or I would have put these all in one)

I forgot the name of this store but it had some nice stuff.....

No pics inside allowed what-so-ever so this is all I could get.

Again, nuff said.

Is this supposed to be a rhetorical question or just a question!?

A BAPE burger!?......Anyone!?

What would you pay for Supreme? Supas? Or Lebrons? Only the right shoe, tho....

Ura-Harajuku

2006-05-24T18:09:00.000+09:00

So I went for a walk this past Sunday and went to Ura-Harajuku or "the backstreets" of Harajuku.

This area is packed on Sundays. as you can see from the picture below, I mean PACKED!

It humid as fuck and people were steppin on my kicks and I was about it get PISSED!!!

I was able to get to the following:
1.Atmos 2.Bape 3.BBC/Ice Cream 4.Haze 5.Neighborhood 6.Headporter

Next on the list/map that I forgot at home and couldn't find:
1.BountyHunter 2.Fiberops 3.Stussy 4.RealMadHectic 5.Footsoldier 6.Supreme

I'm not one for cliches but, 'packed like a can of sardines' is pretty appropriate, don't you think?

By far the hottest store I've been to as far as product goes. Haze tee's, cut/sew, jeans, key chains, belts, hats, 'errythang you can think of.

Not the official BAPE store but had every single BAPE product that the actual store doesn't have anymore. All the BAPE addicts in NYC would die in there.

Atmos.....'nuff said

By far the dopest store when it came to the design/layout. As you can see, the theme is that of an Ice Cream shop with the cashier station having the Ice Cream shoes in its boxes inside the would-be ice cream freezer.....such a shame the product is WACK.

Japanese TV

2006-05-20T19:21:00.000+09:00

Japanese TV shows are frickin hilarious....here is a little clip I took of 6 guys sitting around a pot of boiling oil of tempura, splashing the hot oil and throwing the fried tempura pieces and burning themselves in the process.....and they're all in their underwear and one of them is wearing a mask.....frickin hilarious!

19 Minutes?!

2006-05-20T17:26:00.000+09:00

So after the club last night, we were approached by an African dude that wanted us to go to his club. We must have been approached 6 times and all we wanted to do was get a Doner Kebab.

I was ALLBUS so I thought dude said, "All you can drink for 19 minutes."

After reviewing the video, it's apparent he said 90 minutes.....makes sense, ya?

If you ever get a Doner Kebab, get it with original sauce, not the chilli sauce like I did...my stomach's been jacked all frickin day....

Cell Phone Pics

2006-05-18T17:51:00.000+09:00

Took some pics w/ the new cell phone:

Main lobby at work.....I thought people here got to work early.....

The "Refresh Room" at work AKA the smoking room

"We won't forgive Chikan" which are guys that grope women on the train AKA perverts

Roppongi w/ Tokyo Tower in the background

New Cell Phone

2006-05-18T17:13:00.000+09:00

So I finally got a cell phone.....I have to say, the phones themselves are dope as hell but the phone plans here fucking suck.

Here's how they broke down:
800min/month=$120USD
244min/month=$80USD
144min/month=$60USD
62min/month=$45USD
25min/month=$30USD

Isn't that fucking ridiculous?! I went with the $45 plan since I was told people don't really use their phones to actually talk on the phone and simple use their cellphone email or as it's called here, mail. Its free incoming calls here so for all of you that thought you could call me to try and waiste my precious 62min/month, too bad!

The phone I got is made by Casio and I went with the company AU by KDDI (couldn't go with a DoCoMo, Krabby. The plans were more expensive for even less minutes, if that's believable).
It has so many function I still don't know how to use. And I'm fuckin pissed that I went with a phone that had a bilingual option, so everything is in English, but the manual is as thick as a frickin novel and only ONE fucking page is in English......ONE! WTF!?

Anwyas, 2.1 megapixel cameral, 2.6 inch screen, color, movies, real Internet surfing, and I can pay for shit at the convenient store with it by waving it over a magnetic pad, which is probably the coolest thing even though I have yet to try it.

Although it's a little late to get into the brog game....I mean, blog game, I thought it'd be a good way for me to archive and share certain parts of my life, especially since I'm here in Tokyo now. This will probably be more of a picture blog for friends and family but I'm sure, from time to time, I will jot down and share some thoughts, knowledge, rants, raves, and of course, wisdom....

A few pics of the last weekend in the CHI
