I sing this song often at KARAOKE place!
I also sing a lot of Linkin Park songs too haha.

Heh. My choice of response for that question would be "Not if I'm the only one in the bed, and you're sleeping somewhere else like a gentleman should do after helping a co-worker out in a time of need."

naruhodo.

Actually I forgot what I said to him.

He was one of the populer guys among girls.
I guess he thought I liked him too.

I basically don't like boys think they are cute themselves
and too proud about how they look.

I remember another story about this guy.
(mmm. I am not sure if it was this guy or another guy who looked alike.)

After a drinking party, sometimes people go to another place to drink again.We call it "NI JI KAI" (means like...a second party).

I told him that I was going home and not going to the NIJIKAI.
And he said "Why? I AM going and why don't you? All the girls are coming.Why don't you? You don't think I am cute enough?"

I WAS drunk and I was sick of his attitude so I went like

"You are right. Look over there, yes, that guy, wearing a duggy T-shirts with a guiter? I think that guy is cute, but I never thought you were cute and I don't think you are cute and I am pretty sure that I won't think you are cute when I see you next time.
Why are you so obsessed ? Do you think every girls have to think you are cute?

I said things like that in fluent Japanese!

He was lost and couldn't say anything back to me for a while.
And other people started laughing and one of guys wispered to my ear saying "you did a good job!"

My response: Pour the beer over his head and say "Yes, it's all you."

I wish! haha.

You mean it's all yours?

Now *that* is short.

I am sorry, I didn't get it.
what is *that*?

It works for her. Personally, I would just watch her embarass herself and laugh in my head.

I have more stories about this girl.

She once told me that she wanted to show&tell me how to get picked up by boys at bars.
We 3 girls and 1 boy went to a bar (cool music there), and I said to her
"OK, show me how to do it".
The girl walked slowly towerd to the wall and leaned against it so that she looked like she was alone. And she started suking her drink and looked up (I mean head down but eyes up... I don't know how to explain! in Japanese うわめづかい) and waited a guy try to talk to her.
My friends and me were having a drink at a table and watching how the girl goes. We were looking at her more than 20 mins but nothing happened.
She finished her drink and came up to us and said "Something wrong with the boys in this bar. Maybe it's too late and they don't have money to buy me drink or something." She wasn't joking, she was serious.

She once told me how populer she was.
"There are 3 boys love me very much but I can't choose!
I don't want to hurt any of them so I am going to pretend
that I don't know that they have feelings for me."

At that time, I was pretty sure that one of the boys liked ME not her.
He was my boyfriend but she didn't know that.
I asked him if he ever loved her, but he said
"No way! It must be a big joke, who said that?"
and I said "She did"
and he couldn't stop laughing.

Well that boy is now my husband

You have some very considerate co-workers!

Yes, I was lucky.

Expecting certain behaviours is a cornerstone of cultural norms. Demanding immediate obedience to those behaviours from someone because they think you forgot yourself after travelling to another country is plain rude.

I think I understand...50%.
I will write it down and try to translate it into Japanese
when I have more time!

We'll be here for your future stories. They are very educational and give insight to how everyday society works in Japan.

educational? oh it's now too much pressure for me (haha).

I should tell you more stories about lovely Japanese people right?

And surrounding yourself with friends who are considerate, thoughtful, and protective is a very smart thing to do.

Yes!

I remember a very good friend of mine when I was in Melbourne.

One weekend we went to a bar,
some guy was trying to offer me some drug
(but actually I didn't know what he was trying to say, cos my English wasn't good and also the music was too loud)
my friend said to him something like this
"You picked a wrong girl,mate." and scared the guy away.

He was the one told me about "Chandie" (I don't know the spelling!)
It's a cocktale beer and lemonade.
He said it looks like a reguler beer so
I won't get bothered by someone who believes that everyone have to
drink beer a lot.

He smokes a lot, drinks a lot, do some drugs too(he said they were not heavy ones), but he never let me do any of these. I was happy cos he really knew me.

Not at all. It was enjoyable.

Checking this forum is becoming something you do on a regular basis, which in itself is not a bad thing.

Koir? Can you tell me what "in itself" means?

If you are doing so instead of other things that need to be done or you feel anxiety when you aren't checking these forums more often, that is what I would call "addicted".

I see.
I am then a half addicted!

I knew it was too late (it's after 2am and now it's 3:30!) and
I knew it's time for me to go to bed, but
I didn't want to!
A silly man upset me about 5 hours ago just after work.
I didn't want to go to bed soon, cos I was sure
that I would see him again in my dream!
This is what happened.
I was holding my mobile phone in my right hand and my arm was bended
and was about to cross the street (zebra crossing no traffice light there),
but a car came and it was very slow but she didn't stop, so
I stopped and waited and didn't cross it,
then suddenly behind my back, this silly man
yelled "Hey stop using the stupid mobile phone while you are walking idiot!"
I wasn't using it and I knew what I was doing, so I could have explained it, but it was just after work I was tired from the streess, I had not power to say stuff back at that man, so all I did was stearing back. I was just stearing at him,kept stearing. I wasn't afraid.
I didn't mind if I made him angry enough to yell louder or hit me or whatever.
I was so crossed so stearing hard.
I am sure my face was really scary. I finally scared him away!

I have never done that, I mean made my face so scary!
I wish someone recorded my face and put it on YOUTUBE!

So this is the reason why I came here tonight and taking more than 1.5 hours to type this.

Sleep well, and thank you!

I will try!
It's boiling hot in Japan right now.It's really muggy.
It's hard to sleep well.

How is your area?

I think I am calm down now.
Thank you for your message.

You saved me
