kickboxing, Hana Kimi

So, yesterday my last class was cancelled so I was able to head to kickboxing a little earlier than usual. When I got there, I thought no one was there but when I looked around the corner, there was the coach sitting there next to all the boxing stuff (apparently he leaves after 30 minutes if no one shows). I went over and sat down and made very basic small talk while we waited. After a few minutes he asked me if I wanted to train so I said sure. It was basically a private lesson *L* At one point he told me my fighting was "erai" (wonderful/praisworthy) which I had to look up in the dictionary *L* We trained for about forty minutes and he took my picture to put on his blog (his entry is basically the same as mine, sadly enough, only he seems to have memorized our entire conversation as well *L* I think he also was quoting poetry near the end there.) I learnt a lot and it was good exercise but not too exhausting. Near the end of the training, Shirtless Guy came in and although he didn't participate, he did wait around until I left then stood outside in the parking lot talking to me for an hour. Dating in Japan is really weird.

Today, I lazed about reading fic, then finally got around to tidying up and vacuuming my apartment since my dust allergies have been giving me trouble this week. I had a long chat with S. who came over, and then I headed to Kirara onsen to soak away my aches. The Kurokawa trip seems to have made me more tolerable of cooler onsens and I was able to stay in much longer. It helped that it was pretty warm today (at least for me). I then invited M. over for dinner since I had already made inari for lunch and I made us a lemon and soy sauce veggie stir fry (to which I added too much lemon) to go with the inari.

Then we watched the new live action Korean Hana Kimi which was so over the top. You can only partially blame it on the manga too though it did follow the plot points rather faithfully. I didn't really like the actress cause she seemed to have gone to the same acting school as Rupert Grint - all funny facial expressions and no actual acting. The boy playing her crush was rather cute and I did think that he and the soccer player guy both fit their characters really well. The director needs to be wacked up side the head a few times to get rid of some of his weird camera angles ("Hmm, what if I put the camera on this box - in a closet! Yes, I'm a genius!") Overall, it wasn't too bad, but I'm not sure how many episodes I can actually sit through.
