Hello VietNam by Pham Quynh Anh
i heard this song long before, but i think Paris By Night just featured her. For some reasons, i feel connected when i hear this song.

after long long… wait…. i save up enough money for a new knife. After long search i finally decided to get get a Takeda. At first i was going to order straight from japan, but that will take forever. Lucky, i found a (only)site in US sell Takeda. . I was so happy, i ordered it right away (last night)
The Banno-funayukibocho is traditionally used for cutting vegetables, fish or meat. The blade is Aogami Super Steel (AS) which is a high-carbon steel alloy with vanadium. As with all of Takeda’s knives, it has a strong sharp edge. The octagon shaped wood handle is easy to hold. 152 mm cutting edge.
Banno-Funayukibocho AS - 15.2 cm
Blade material: Aogami Super Steel
Blade size: 6″ (15.2 cm) cutting edge
Case: Original Takeda Storage Box
Handle: Wood - Octagon
Overall: 10 3/4″
Price: $205 + shipping

OHH YEAHH !!!! it a beauty i tell ya. I know i am going love it!! it’s arrive tomorow. yesssssssssss
Actualy, i also wanted Takeda Yanagi, but i am going to wait to test out the Banno-Funayukibocho first. I really need a Yanagi (my current Yanagi is worn out). I want a ao-ko Honyaki (hightest grade sushi knife). i probably have to settle for ao-ko Hongasumi Yanagi (second to Honyaki)… **sigh** Right now, i have my eye on Aritsugu Ao-ko Layered Steel Hongasumi Yanagi.
Ohh yeah, check out my ebony wooden handle moribashi(titanium serving chop stick). i bought last week for $90. I love it

I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for awhile now,but i couldn’t decide which one to get. At first, I wanted a Japanese demon mask (hanya) wrapped around by a snake, something like this. However, it’s hard to find good tattoo artist doing good japanese, so now, i have another thought, and get something simple.
i have mix thought, a crane or a girl?. I like the crane idea, but it’s so much details, it probably wont come out very nice.

or this asian style cartoonist girl. It’s very simple, i am sure the tattoo going to come out nice. However, i am asian, i don’t have white skin so her face gonna look not very nice.

what do you think i should get?? BTW, i am gonna put it on my forearm.
omg, i watch this movie yesterday, and it cracks me up so bad. I laught so much my tear come out. However, If you are serious kind of person, and can’t get pass the stupid jokes, this movie is not for you, but if you are like me, like stupid stuff go watch Ball of Fury. Maggie Q is in this movie. She is like my idol, but my god, she looks ugly in this movie. She is so skiny, just skin and bone… arrggg it just ruin it.
