this week ruth (music teacher) and her husband went to mainland to go to the ice festival, so i watched her dogs for her. it was fun taking a break from the little apartment and hanging out in a two-story house for the week. i'm not good with dog breeds, but i'm pretty sure they were black labs.. two girls, gorda and flaca. there is a park right across the street from the house, so they would play there, which was nice. they would get super hyper and start wrestling each other and then flaca would get so excited, she would start running at full speed around the park. reminded me of cali haha. then when the dogs were tired, they would sit on the park bench with me. but one would jealous of the other sitting next to me, and the wrestling would start all over again haha. and of course all the cute little japanese kids playing at the park would want to come over and pet them. it was cute :)the school week was good. we all had fun talking to aunt beth, aunt ruth, and richard :) they were visiting mom and dad.. i'm glad i got to skype with them since i couldn't be home! one funny thing that happened this week was on monday when i came to school with my hair dyed.. i colored it a soft black. the kids were saying that my hair looked darker and i was playing dumb pretending like i didn't know.. i said that maybe it was something i ate haha. well, once school started, i completely forgot to tell them that i was joking and that i dyed it. during japanese class is apparently when my kids talk about me, because they can speak in japanese so it's easier for them to thoroughly explain their thoughts (they were explaining this to me at lunch one day). after japanese class, i walked in and the teacher told me that the kids were telling her that my hair magically changed overnight and i didn't know how it happened haha. that is when i realized i forgot to say i was joking, so i explained to them that i dyed it haha. one of my girls told me that now i have japanese hair :) this week a lot of students and teachers have been getting sick.. i had two absent on friday, and then another went home early because he had a 102 temperature! hopefully they relaxed and got re-energized over the weekend!
friday night laura and i went to the officer's club at kadena (the air base) to hang out. lots of laughs :) eric and his squadron came later in the evening after their little celebration. they beat another squadron in the turkey shoot. it's an annual flying competition.. the winners get their picture in the hall.
saturday, i went with laura and her english students to karaoke.. so much fun!! we went to goo (don't you just love the name haha), and had unlimited food and drinks for a very reasonable price! the karaoke room was a lot nicer than the last karaoke party i went to with them. there was only five of us this time, but we made sure to keep the party crazy! :) laura and i tried to pick new songs this time.. we even tried eminem haha.. that was interesting! :) my favorite was singing barbie girl with toru (he was ken) haha.. priceless.dried noodles.. reminded me of pretzels.
