Posted in: Letter handed to emperor still causing ruckus See in context
I got an old Japanese military medallion from WWII. How do I present it to His Imperial Majesty? I understand I cannot even write a letter to any of the Princes or Princesses unless I have "a special relationship with them". Even His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand can receive a shirt I sent him and his Private Principal Secretary gave an acknowledgment letter on his behalf. I truly do not understand the Japanese.

I have had my brush with depression. A good doctor and medication helps. One must mourn a dear departed definitely, but after that go to a Shinto temple and cleanse with prayer. This would be a good time for Hiki san to pour her heart and soul out with a new album. Bring in the hubby to help. Soul 'de la soul.

I just bought UHT milk (room temperature) although I am lactose-intolerent. I just cannot stand missing its creamy goodness, heated up with a large dash of tumeric pwder.

I read somewhere these "machines" gives the player about only 10 to 20 per cent chances of winning evertime they play. This is plain daylight robbery!

We Chinese have always had the T-shirt sweatshops before anybody else. A Japanses would not be able able to withstand a minute in a Chinese assembly line.

I prefer Lethal Injections instead. The full flow of overloaded pain-killers are comfortable and leave no pain. If you hang wrongly, there still might be a chance the neck won't snap. Bloody painfull.
