Misako Rocks!

Back'n NYC!!!!!!! Our X'mas travel was pretty chase and fun this year. First on the way to midwest, one of our suitcases was left in Chicago and we didn't have enough clothes for four days! We received it right  before Christmas, so we could give presents on time.
This year Kuririn's parents give us amazing presents. They gave us new ipod and new zune!!! Yeahhhhhhhh!
Our return flight to NYC from Chicago was delayed an hour and half--GRRRRRR. Well at least we could use our christmas presents right away.

In Jan 2008 I am going to teach new manga classes in Manhattan and Brooklyn, so I'm going to go on a shopping for that today!

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope everybody will have a good winter vacation!

Before I went to Europe, I started working on a new project with ARCHIE comics! They are new characters. She is a Japanese girl, Kumi! She will meet Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jag head. Did I tell you about it? I'm not  the one who draws art this time! I am making new characters, making scripts and story boards! I have never worked like this way. So another artist draws with using my scripts. I can't wait to see that! I finished first episode, so I have to start working on second episode soon! I'll bring my work to Wisconsin during Christmas--! Awwwwwwww!

Today I visited my friend, Phillip at anime festival! It was so nice to see him---!!! I haven't seen him more than a year! He was calling my name from his table, but I didn't notice until he showed up right in front f my face.
The festival was very very crowded and crazy. I bought some nice toys and books!!
I don't have my booth this time, but I might do next year.
After he finished his work, we went to Christmas shopping together. But I think I need to do more Christmas shopping tomorrow---

I went to Manhattan today and it started snowing! I didn't bring my hat, so I covered my head with my skirf. When I looked at myself on a window, I realized my nose was running and my cheek was insanely red. I didn't look like a LADY at all today! Gwwwww... Well at least I didn't get sick thanks to my skirf..

Tomorrow I am going to see my friend YOPPI and Ben!!! Yeahhh!! I haven't seen them for a long time. I bet we will have a looooooooooong girl talk in Japanese.

These are some of my favorite TEA collections!! I used to drink coffee all of the time, but I didn't want my stomach to be weak anymore, so I changed to tea a year ago. Since then I started trying new taste---!
And they are my best 3 tea-companies selection! I can't say which is the number one though.

1 LUPICIA tea company(the rounded cute case)
They are Japanese tea company. My friend, Hi-chan brought some of Lupicia flaver tea from Tokyo. They have a lot of green tea, chinese tea, black tea, white tea etc. And I like Flaver-green tea. They blend with Japanese fluits! Oh my gosh-- so tasty! And I found out that there is Lupicia tea shop in CA!! If you live near, please check it out. You will find really good tea.
Also as you see, the case is cute. So they can be really good presents!

2 T-salon company(Purple and white cans)
They are from NYC. One of them is located in Chealse. They make tea depend on "how your body feels!" And yes... I have pretty weak stomach, so I need something gingery-tea you know? One of their collections, "Anti-cold" is actually fantastic! They prevent from sickness and stomachache. How nice! And I purchased "White Jasmine" tea. Mmmmm I can't wait to have it! Tea is nice and their service is nice too. It's worth to visit the store!

3 A.C.Perch's Thehandel company(Gold bags)
When I visited Copenhagen, I purchased their tea. They started a business in 1835!! Can you believe it? The store was so cute and tiny. They still use old fashion scale to measure! I went there in a morning but many people were in a line. They make a special blend tea only for you!! I bought Green tea Ginger and Green tea rubarb!! They told me that they can do International shipping! After I finish those tea, I'll definitelly order new flaver tea!!!!!!!

If you don't do any Christmas shopping yet, you might want to send those tea--?? It's useful and doesn't last forever, so anybody will appreciate, I believe!!
