    Obaahan Part 2 & my own keitai

    On friday I received a doorbell awakening around 9am. I was still pretty tired so I fumbled for the phone that was next to my door (the phone acts as an intercom for whoever is in front of the door). “Yes.” “This is Nakamura, the teacher said I’d pick you up for the filming”. Oh crap that’s right…*still sleepy and out of it* “Is it okay if you can give me a few minutes?”. So I rushed to get ready, apologize a bunch of times and we headed over to do my second set of “Obaahan” scenes. George-sensei shouted 「おそい!」”You’re late!” and we got right to work on my make-up, which took just as long as before. These scenes were at the studio with the blue screen again. This time my scenes were pretty simple, I just had to do some actions. One scene, involved Obaahan coming out of a space ship, so I stood on some large wooden boxes, and sensei asked if I could hop off the boxes stairs one by one. They thought the hops were really cute. Another one I had to throw a colored ball (which is supposed to be a candy that I throw to the heroine, since she’s in giant form at that part of the story). One scene, I had to face the camera head on and make weird noises with weird facial expressions T_T I kept laughing every time I tried making sounds, and also felt like an idiot for not giving them a good take –; so sensei suggested I just silently make talking motions and make the random facial expressions, which actually worked much better. (cause they’ll dub in the sound in post anyway)

    my keitai 1

    I finally got my ケイタイ cellphone a few days after I got my gaijin card. First, Mr. Hisano picked me up and we drove to the cell phone company center. Mr. Hisano was watching his baby daughter, so I got to meet and sit with her ^_^ she’s only a few months old! The company I decided was AU since I talked with a few of my classmates and they recommended AU for international students (the other big cell phone companies are Docomo and Softbank). Hisano-san helped me out guiding me through the application process with the AU representative. (I would seriously have no idea if I’d do this by myself) I didn’t get the phone until a day or two days after since they have to confirm all the paperwork. I figure choose the most basic phone, as long as I can make calls and text. So Hisano-san recommended I sign up for a plan, thats about 4k a month which includes a cellphone for free and cancel the contract, which would be better out of the plans that they offer without a plan. Most people would think Japanese phones would be smaller, but actually most of them are pretty bulky compared to the sizes I see back home, and also almost all of them are the flip type with the simple rectangular shape, that size seems to be standardized probably for internet and software services. The phone I chose is the green and white model of the Sony Ericsson W62S. Not cause there was an ad of Oguri Shun holding it ^^;; but cause of the color and it was the slimmer looking model compared to the other ones.

    Then I found out later, that this happens to be the same cell phone as the one in Metal Gear Solid 4. Coincidence I swear!
