adventure started wednesday
i went to work but left like an hour later cause i was feeling nauseous and blah blah blah~
my boss and co-workers didn't believe me when i said i was sick hahaha
i called my mom to let her know i was goin home early (we work at the same job but at different locations) she was worried so she had our family doctor call me to find out what was wrong and when i told the doc my symptoms she said i should go to the ER right away but i didn't wanna go alone so i waited for my mom to get of work ^^

3 hours later
my papa drove me to the hospital where i met up with my mom and we waited to be seen it took foreeever~! when i was finally seen they drew some of my blood~ after that everything went really fast haha so i guess the average blood count for a 24 year old female like me is between 12 and 15 and MY blood count was only 4.5 whee~! the hospital staff started freaking out cause apparently if my blood count were to get any lower a coulda gone into a coma @_@!
i was admitted into the hospital and got an iv and a blood transfusion XD 4 pints~! i got my blood count up to 8.6 yayy~! rabble i had to have my blood pressure taken every freaking 5 minutes the whole time i was admitted >_ uncle angel, izzalette, james, mary, and rachel all came to visit me yay~!

thursday
at around 9:30 i had to have a D&C, totally didn't know what that was i looked it up on wiki just now haha

(dilation and curettage literally refers to the dilation (opening) of the cervix and surgical removal of the contents of the uterus. It is a therapeutic gynecological procedure. It is commonly referred to as a D&C. D&C normally refers to a procedure involving a curette, also called sharp curettage. However, some sources use the term D&C to refer more generally to any procedure that involves the processes of dilation and removal of uterine contents, which includes the more common suction curettage procedures of manual and electric vacuum aspiration.
Procedure
The first step in a D&C is to dilate the cervix, usually done a few hours before the surgery. The woman is usually put under general anesthesia before the procedure begins. A curette, a metal rod with a handle on one end and a sharp loop on the other, is inserted into the uterus through the dilated cervix. The curette is used to gently scrape the lining of the uterus and remove the tissue in the uterus. This tissue is examined for completeness (in the case of abortion or miscarriage treatment) or pathologically for abnormalities (in the case of treatment for abnormal bleeding). <((i had abnormal bleeding not a abortion or miscarriage!!))>
D&Cs are commonly performed to resolve abnormal uterine bleeding (too much, too often or too heavy a menstrual flow) to remove the excess uterine lining in women who have conditions such as PCOS (which cause a prolonged buildup of tissue with no natural period to remove it);[citation needed] to remove tissue in the uterus that may be causing abnormal vaginal bleeding).

HURTS LIKE HELL!!! OOWWW~! FYI STILL HURTS~! 'cry'

i got a bunch of awesome pain killers and stuff in my hand iv yayy~! i also had an ultrasound and more blood work boo~! i HATED having blood drawn~! i'm like you just pumped blood into me why are you taking it back!? i rested for a while then a whole buncha people started coming and visiting me :D aww yayy~! my mom and dad were with me since the surgery started my bro and sis came after school and stuff charlsey came next and helped me with stuff i was pretty pathetically weak for a while haha then steven with ashleigh came up followed shortly by jackie *gasp!* i i hadn't seen jackie in like 2 years or something~! mary and rachel came back up and my uncle bobby, aunt claire, cousins celina and sabrina stopped by also aww~! i got lotsa gifts tooo awesome~! haha

Dolphin-chick has hax0red Mika's journal!!!11!!!

If someone stood up in a crowd
And raised his voice up way out loud
And waved his arm
And shook his leg
You'd notice him

If someone in a movie show
Yelled "fired in the second row,
This whole place is a powder keg!"
You'd notice him

And even without clucking like a hen
Everyone gets noticed, now and then,
Unless, of course, that personage should
be
Invisisble, inconsequential me!

Cellophane
Mister cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there!

I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause you can look right through me
walk right by me
And never know I'm there. . .

A human being's made of more than air
With all that bulk , you're bound to see
him there

Unless that human bein' next to you
Is unimpressive...
undistinguished ...
You... know... who. . .

Cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there
I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there

Never even KNOOOOOOOOOOOW I'm there~

What Your Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Means

Your eating style is reserved. You are a bit of a fussy eater, and you have very specific ways you like your food prepared. You have a total sweet tooth. When you can get away with it, you like to have dessert before dinner! Your taste in food tends to be pretty flexible. You may crave sushi one night, and your favorite childhood recipe the next. Admit it, you're a little trashy and low class at times. You're definitely more comfortable at a tattoo parlor than the theater. You never really grew up. While your childlike innocence is charming, you often just come across as a big baby. Precise and controlled, you can be a bit anal retentive when it comes to how you like things. You're definitely a perfectionist.

You Are 23 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

Your Inner Gender is Male

You are rational, matter of fact, and quite dominant. You like to get things done, without any emotional messiness. You truly don't understand most women. And you definitely feel more comfortable around men. No doubt about it. You're a guy - at least on the inside.

What You Really Think Of Your Friends

Sarah is your soulmate. You truly love Jeremy. You consider Mika your true friend. You know that Jackie is always thinking of you. You'll remember Charly for the rest of your life. You secretly think Rachel is creative, charming, and a bit too dramatic at times. You secretly think that Alysia is colorful, impulsive, and a total risk taker. You secretly think that Dj is loyal and trustworthy to you. And that Dj changes lovers faster than underwear. You secretly think Mary is shy and nonconfrontational. And that Mary has a hidden internet romance.

Japanese Myth 2: The Kyoto Volks store is REALLY hard to find.

Alright, 5:50pm on a Friday night. Mary and i are letting out feet dry-out. Waterlogged toes. Sucky.

Remember how I said it was raining? It never stopped and it started to POUR for awhile there. It’s 9pm right now~ I woke up at 7am it’s been rainin the whole time I’ve been up~!

So, we took a train out of Kyoto in Sagano Arashiyama to find where the dollfie store is. Hmmmm. It’s a litter further than we were expecting but A LOT bigger. It seemed like it might be the largest THING in the area. Big TENSHI NO SATO (!!!!) signs EVERYWHERE. How do foreigners get so lost? “ZOMG, I am sooo lost! Why does Volks HIDE the Tenshi no Sato store?” Headin’ back there tomorrow. I should email ria_ria (the woman who is meeting us there on Sunday. Yeah, we are going to the store TWICE. That lame about the Dollfie.)

So, wandered around the area. I heard there was a Monkey Park that was across a river. Figured if we headed in a downward direction we’d find it. The river was really pretty. Lots of man-made damming and river shaping. Found a famous bridge (what is it with the world and their bridge-love?) Blah blah blah…

Two points of interest. Well, three. One: Our TINY umbrellas kinda kept the top of our heads dry. My pants were wet up to my knees. My socks were soaked. My sleeves were soaked. And somehow, yeah, my head was wet.

Two: There were like…5-10 schools there on school trips. All these little middle school kids running around in stereotypical uniforms. Saw a bunch of the sailor fuku that the kids on Sailor Moon wear. I resisted the urge to call all the girls “Usagi.” At one point mary and I were just standing around and one little middle school girl, with the pressure from her friends, came up to me and was all… “do you like Japanese?”

Japanese…language? Food? I dunno either. My answer was “yes.”

She was giggling and her friends were amused. A couple girls were into trying to throw out their English at mary. (Yeah, i was right there too. No one cares about the mika. I’m not blonde-hair’ed or blue eye’ed so I’m obviously Japanese ~.~ lol) One of the girls turned to her friend and asked for a word then, without warning, there were a billion of school kids surrounding us and teasing the other girl for not studying. One of the boys yelled at her saying “ study English! Your suppose ta study english~!” Very funny.

What was I talking about….hmmm…

Oh! The THIRD awesome thing was…. MONKIES. Across the bridge, we found Monkey Park. 520 yen to get in, you get to climb a hundred really steep stairs and hike up a mountain. Mika and I wanted to give up a couple times ‘cause, yeah, it did kinda suck, but then we saw a monkey. It was really far but we did see one! We were about half-way up and figured giving up would be stupid. Soooo… we climbed more…and…

WAH!!! MONKEYS!!! MONKEYS!!!! There was a hut on the top of the mountain which sold monkey food! And there were MILLIONS (well, like, 20) monkeys everywhere! And they take food from your hand! Monkeys! Monkeys! AHH~!

Hiked down the mountain. Left the park. La la la…

Ummm… point of interest. At the monkey park, at the monkey gate leaving the park, at the curry place we got lunch, on a random corner in the middle of no where, and on the station platform we kept running into the same group of Japanese guys. We were always someplace first so I think they were stalking us. Funny funny :D

Back on the platform a bunch of school kids apparently double-dog-dared one of their friends to say hi to us. He had that whole “tsk, not a big deal” strut going as he approached mary (blew off me cause ya know~ I’m obviously not American lol kinda sucks bein *ethnic* all’s I gets is the stupid tourist usin there broken Japanese on me ), said “hello” and walked away. lol! She’s such an attraction! Again, at the Kyoto station, some kids approached her, this time because of an assignment. (Unattended middle school students required to approach foreign strangers and ask them questions. Yeah~) “Where are you from? Do you enjoy Japanese something (couldn’t understand her)?” it was so random then she asked ta take a pic with the mary so I snapped one also lol

Anyhoo. Feet are less prunny now. You’d think having wet feet for seven hours would feel great. Kinda an incoherent ramble but… yeah.

Pics~!

Kyoto is sooo pretty XD

In front of the volks store ~*^v^*~

God awful stairs ~.~

Don’t get to close to da monkeys yo~! They’ll punch you in da face~!

Ahh~! Monkey~! Don’t punch me in da face~! Lol

Baby monkey!

Baby monkey and big monkey~!


We feed monkeys~!

For those who haven’t seen my new shorter hair look here it is~! XD I <3 my brat tails

And mary <3’s monkeys lol

This is the rest area you go into ta feed monkeys~! Dude you can’t even tell how many monkey are no the house itself~!

Lookit all da monkeys~!

Then walkin down da mountain we saw crabs and screamed AHH! ARE THERE CRAB’S ON THIS MOUNTAIN~! ;o; ones not so scary but then seein more made us all uneasy and full of cry so we booked it off that rock lol

<3

More to come~!

Greetings from The Future.


Myth 1 about Japan: "ZOMG! You're going to Japan in the SUMMER??? It's sooooo hot!" Sigh. As I look out my window into the 60 degree morning, I see people in pants, long sleeves, and sweaters.

Well, after 40 hours of cars, trams, buses, and planes, I am here in a Kyoto hotel room. i went out to forage for foor as mary slipped into her 10 hr coma i ran into some americans and helped them find there way cause ya know~ i'm soo a local lol Got to sleep laying down~ Life is sweet.

So, here is the run down if anyone is interested. Somehow, through a rip in the time-space fabric of the universe, our bags came in below the weight limit. Neat. The flight from LA to Tokyo was long and pretty draining. Most of the films on the plane were in Korean with Japanese subtitles. i keep doozing off most of the flight likea loser i can normally stay awake the whole time but since i haven't slept in like a week i crashed~ The dinner meal was shrimp noodles and salmon potatoes. *Sigh* So I had the ever nutritious meal of sky juice and bread. Yea!

We touched down in Tokyo were the next two hours were pretty hellish as we had to go through customs, pick up our bags, and get re-checked in. My bags were sorta broken and they didn't connect like they were supposeed to so i was struggleing and mary was too overloaded to do much. Well, we did it somehow. Got REALLY nasty in the process (sweat was a-pouring) but we found a seculuded bathroom where we employed the air-dryer in a manner it was never intended (dry my 'pits).

The flight from Tokyo to Osaka was wonderful. We flew over Toyko (ish, we could look to the right and see it), but what was REALLLY NEAT (besides the 777 being only 30% full. YESSSS!) was all the views of Mt. Fuji! XD We got to see it at a distance and then we flew RIGHT. NEXT. TO. IT. Wow! I didn't really know how big or beautiful it is! Wow!!!

Osaka airport doesn't actually HAVE services so i doesn't have any yen yet yo. mary had a bunch so i is gonna pay her back on..Monday...when we move down to Osaka. The bus from Osaka to Kyoto was quite uncomfortable since it was very crowded (mary and i had to sit in those aisle seat) and the biz. men on each side of me kept falling asleep on me. Sigh. Got dropped off only three blocks from the hotel so we dragged our stinky, nasty, tired butts and all our luggage to the hotel, couldn't help but laughing when the poor bellman had to act like it was no big deal to lift bags 3x's the weight of his girlfriend, and got our non-smoking room on the 8th floor, over looking the train station. I woke up this morning (on my stomach! I forgot how to sleep!) to the sounds of a heavy rain and opened the curtains just to see the bullet train pull in. You'd think it would be noisy next to a train station, but no! I heard the RAIN and not all the hundreds of trains constantly coming and going! (sniffle) love Japan.

So, there we go. It's about 8:30 Friday morning (so that's...4:30 Thursday afternoon to those in Vegas or 7:30pm on the East Coast). mary is in the bathroom doing girly hair stuff. I am in my PJs and just wanted to send a word out to any and all who may be interested. We live. We're well. I ate three food groups this morning and drank sooooooo much water when we got the room I got sick. Don't know what our agenda will be today. Probably just stumble around.

Peace out all!
