Kindle~~

Hi Everyone!!

It's cute and cuddly........................(wait for it).............................Cotton! : D : D

So, Min got himself a Kindle! : D

He was really wondering whether it would be worth it to buy one or not but he saw a deal on it so he ended up buying it.

So far, Min's pretty happy about his purchase!  He's already loaded all his computer programming related ebooks on it and he's been reading on his spare time.  He's also finished one of the 3 books that he's suppose to read for his history class!  He says he has a couple of chapters left each on the other two books and his final exam is this Friday so... he's gotta finish reading.  Don't worry, I'll make sure he finishes and studies.  : )

Well, I'm gonna ask Min to make me some tea and I'm gonna read Sherlock Holmes on the Kindle while Min studies for his final exam.  Hehe~

Until next time!!

Oh oh, here's a picture of Min reading his new Kindle!

uhmm.....Monday

Hi everyoneeeeee its Cotton!

I couldn't think of a title :P hehehehe

There's not much to say actually....Angela woke up unbelievably late and got school unbelievably late......stayed in the lab for the entire time she was there watching one of her senpai do an experiment and making some chemicals to grow her plants in.....

so thats about all! :D 

Angela also got Autumn limited sweets for her mother and brother. Like chestnut flavored stuff. But all the stores are already Christmas and New Year themed so she couldn't find much.....she still looked funny buying a lot of sweets though lol and then she forgot that she needed to change trains when going home so she had to go back and wait for the right train and such and that took a bit of time too

Walking back, Angela realized there's a lot of food places are open til pretty late at night. There's a cafe and curry place that's open til 1AM, a ramen place that's open til 5AM, and a Mc Donald's and a Japanese restaurant thats open 24 hours. Oh and there are three Family Marts that are also open 24 hours. And this is just on her way home, so there's probably a lot more on the other streets that she usually doesn't take. This would be a prettyyyy fun place to live while you're young! (without crazy neighbors :P)

Okay well, that's about all that happened to her today. Angela is going to sleep soon so she could wake up earlier and go to school earlier tomorrow :D


Oh, and Angela also started a tumblr :P 

Back to San Diego~

Hi Everyone!!

I am back with Min to San Diego!! We spent the thanksgiving break pretty busily and it was a fun filled full vacation!  I'm glad to have gone to El Centro and go camping!!  Desert camping! : D

So, Min re-read the letter that Angela wrote for him and instead of writing her a comment like he usually does, he ended up writing his own reply letter that silly Min.

So, here it is:

yayyy~~~ you wrote me a letter!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

that does deserve a lot of smilies!!! :D :D :D

Hehe yayy for increasing silliness!!

We're so silly aren't we? :) ;) :) ;)

I can't believe it's 6 months already toooooo

Haha it does feel like its speeding up! Haha you're my lovely lovely sweetie darling and you're my special one :)

Awwww it's okay darling :) We already knew this was to happen and we're gonna see each other soon so yayyyyy~ And yes, physically together makes perfect sense darling :)

I know!! Korea was crazy and fun and I loved spending time there with you!! Hahaha, off the top of my head I can think of... Cool, Radical, Awesome(maybe Adventurous), Zesty, You and me! hehehehe maybe I'll come up with something more clever later hahaha :P

Oh silly~ I know you're busy everyday darling :) and I know you like getting meaningful gifts for me and you know that I know that it's worth the wait! (a little confusing to read but it makes sense right? hehe) and I know it's been raining a lott silly so don't feel bad!! I love you and I'll wait for them silly because every single one of them no matter what it is, is wonderful! Just like you! :D

Awwwwww I'm so happy you like my chocolate chip cookies!! I remember when you told me you ate like a lot of them when I baked them for you to take back to your room, I was sooooooooooooo happy!! I think I knew what you felt like when I was really happy for receiving my birthday present from you! It was such a wonderful feeling that something I did for you was something you like sooooo much!! I shall bake more of my mellow, easy-going (I like those words that you chose to describe me and my cookies!! ahhh I love youuu!!) so you can have some!! Maybe I'll bake them like the night before I leave, maybe the morning before I leave (since my flight is early in the morning... and I can sleep on the plane hehe) and just wrap them in a plate with saran wrap and put them in a ziploc bag, no maybe TWO ziploc bags!! Which would better insulate the cookies AND my silliness that's contained inside!! hehe) I love your analysis on my cookies dear :) My cute little researcher you~ hehe

We should go on an adventure in the frogggiiieeeee!! Hehe I know you like going on drives sweetie~ You like going on drives with me when I hold you hand and kiss you with each cooper and sometimes just because and singing out loud and just looking at you and smiling and taking you to awesome places like our special spot! or that desert exit in the middle of the night were we saw all those stars or that random exit after Disneyland where we saw those squirrels and many more to come!! and sometimes being silly and making out while waiting for the lights to turn green! hehehe

Hahaha I was really really really worried that I might look too charai but I've decided the ultimate test! I'm gonna go visit my parents once more before I leave for Japan and I'll get an honest opinion out of my parents! If they think it's okay, I think I'll be fine, but if they think it's charai (especially my grandmother) I will dye it before I go to Japan or after I get there! (if that happens, should I dye it back black or just get a really dark brown color?)

If nott- I guess I'll be the silly KPop star~ maybe I'm actually starring in my own drama right now! :O and maybe your aunt and mother will watch it!! hahahahaha

Awwwww I'm so glad the flowers got there in good time!! And so many pictures from you!! I know you like them hehe :) And another teddy bearrr!!! What shall we name it darling? :D

The weather's getting colder so I'm staying warm inside my room with my computer and playstation and heater working hard to keep me warm hehehe!


I guess I'll try to read a bit for my class and maybe wait for you to wake up and skype a little maybe-- and then probably go to sleep early today.  


I love you darling!!


Your brown haired boyfriend who wants to be with you and snuggle in a blanket and drink hot cocoa and eat his mellow and easy-going chocolate chip cookies and watch korean dramas or interesting movies with his sweet lovely girlfriend


Min


Min also asked me to talk a little bit about what we did while we were down in El Centro... so here it is:


Min got down to El Centro and when he called Ashton, he found out they were still at the bar celebrating a friend's birthday.  Min headed there and stayed there for a long time (his friend didn't want to get drunk too fast and dragged the night out, which made Min and his friends unhappy but left them no choice but to stay even though they were tired)  He finally got out of the bar and went home and got ready to sleep and talked to Ashton and messaged with Angela and went to bed.

The next day was Thanksgiving!  and Min and Ashton slept in a little and got up and did early preparations for the camping trip they were going on the next day and then took a shower and got ready to go to Ashton's grandparent's house.  Thanksgiving dinner is actually a Thanksgiving lunch there and Min and Ashton and another one of their friend, went to Thanksgiving.  He greeted everyone in the family and they mingled while the food was put on the table.  After Thanksgiving, the three of them went out to the backyard to look for a grill and some bricks that they were going to take to the camping trip.  Then they had a birthday celebration (they roped in a bunch of family members and had a big celebration while everyone was there)  then they went out and bought a tent and a sleeping bag since one of the tents that they were suppose to have (one of their friends who said had a tent said he couldn't find it) wasn't found and one of the friends needed a sleeping bag.  As soon as they bought it, and went on a scouting trip to the place they were going to go the next day and  scouted a nice camping location and headed back.  They got home and called their friends to update them and found out his friend found the tent which meant they no longer needed it and his other friend managed to borrow a sleeping bag from another friend so the sleeping bag was also for naught.  Unfortunately, Ashton had managed to lose the receipt (which Min thought was totally Ashton's fault but he kept saying they should be able to return it without it since they had only bought it the day before using his debit card).  Afterwards, Min and Ashton played some video games until they were tired and then went to sleep.  The next day they woke up early and put their sleeping bags and supplies into the big truck (Ashton's dad's truck) and went in Ashton's truck to get the grill and brick and to cut up some wood at Ashton's grandparent's house.  They got a chainsaw and cut the wood into nice pieces to cook on and went back and put them into the big truck.  They tried to return the tent and sleeping bags but had a bit of trouble as expected.  They ended up waiting on a call from the store and they then went to a meat market and bought carne asada and tortillas and guacamole and salsa for the tacos they were going to cook and eat there and picked up their two friends Eddie and Ernie who had the tents and picked up their other two friends and off they went to camping.

Coincidently, the exit they got off on was the same exit that Min and Angie got off on that one night and stopped to see the stars!  They got to the camping site and found that there was someone else there just hanging out.  The previous day they had not gone in too far because there was a narrow passage way that seemed to narrow for their truck to get through but Min insisted that he can do it and so the rest of his friends got out and headed in by foot and Min carefully drove the truck through (I was in the truck with Min of course) which meant they were free to drive more inside to find a better spot.  Min drove the truck inside and they managed to find a good spot to camp.  They unloaded and Min started getting the ground where they were going to setup tents cleared of rocks and other debris using a rake they brought.  Ashton started digging a fire pit they were going to use to cook with the shovel they brought and some people setup the chairs and unloaded wood from the truck.  They switched off and some people started putting up the tents and Min and Ashton got the fire started.  Soon they were ready to cook and they set the grill up and started cooking the meat!!  They made tacos for dinner and had some leftover meat so they decided they were going to eat it again the next day morning.  They drank beer and Min had brought some of the rice wine that Ashton likes so much! (And so does Angela's aunt! I think... Min said they drank it once at a korean restaurant that they took Min and Angela to as a welcome to Japan dinner! : D btw Min says he was so thankful about summer and that he's very grateful that they welcomed him so welcomingly) Min got buzzed enough to fall asleep and went to bed early and has no idea what everyone else did but he woke up once at 2am and fell back asleep and in the end he slept the most out of all his friends who were complaining about how uncomfortable it is to sleep on the ground.  They got up and cooked more tacos and ate it and cleaned up the camping site they used and went on a hike up the rocky mountains for a little bit but hit a dead end in a canyon so they went back and headed back home.  They got back and showered and was feeling tired but they had a good time.  They rested a little watching TV and then Min and Ashton drove to Yuma!

Why Yuma?  Yuma is a border city in Arizona not too far from El Centro and Min went there because he wanted to buy Arizona Starbucks Mugs!!! One for mother and one for auntie. : )  They ate at a In n Out and came back and then watched a random movie on TV while talking and Ashton's mom (who's also Min's "mom") suggested that they plan a road trip for the family!  Ashton wasn't too happy about the idea but Min and Aaron (Ashton's younger brother) was down for it.  So, Min may go on a road trip in a motorhome (which they will rent) with his other family in the summer! : D  Ashton's mom also asked Min about his trip to Japan and said that if he needs money that she'll give him some for which Min was very grateful.

Min says he feels so loved by so many people.  His parents who are always there for him and his girlfriend who loves him so dearly and her family who made Min feel so welcome! and now his best friend's mom who's words and caring thoughts made Min happy!  Oh!  So they're converting the downstairs office into a room for Min! A place where he can stay anytime he wants and she ordered him a bed! (I think it's an air mattress) but it's a queen size she says! : D  Min's so happy!!

Now Min's hungry and he's wondering if he should make pasta or katsu curry.... hmm... I kinda want the katsu curry but that might take a long time huh... maybe I'll ask Min to make the pasta!

Oh oh! he also said that he volunteered to pick up Yutaka from the airport tomorrow!  He says he's so full of his helpful energy that he wants to do something nice for someone in his surrounding now! : D

Well, I'm gonna go nag Min to make me pasta~ hehe

Until next time~

-コットン

P.S.:  Oh oh I forgot to post pictures from the camping~  I took them before Min's phone battery was running low so I had to put it on airplane mode to conserve energy.

Here's Min and Ashton chopping the wood!

More wood!

The Firepit!  The grill needs to be cleaned and foil needs to get put on before they put it on the bricks

Tent!

Six Months???

hiiiiiiii eeeeeeveryonneeeeeeeeee :D

its cotton from japan! :D ひさしぶり〜 (why? Don't ask.)

wow wow wowwwwwww six months already?? 

of what? 

OF MINGELA OF COURSE!!!! :D 

:D :D :D :D :D

Yes, that deserves many smilies :D :D :D

hehe

well here's the letter from Angela

Dear silly silly Min, 

I think I'll copy you and I'll have Cotton italicize this too :P hehehehehe

Happy Six Months silly!! :D :D :D

Ah I think your silliness is increasing by the week! By the day! By the hour....? :P 

Wow six months already? It definitely does not feel like six months! I don't know....it kinda feels like it's passing by fast now. Or maybe I just live in a weird world where the time is all deformed and I just feel it pass by differently from other people. Yea I'm weird special like that. Right? :)

Ah it just makes me a bit sad that out of the sixth months that we've been together, we've physically been together (does that make sense? sounds weird? I'm losing my English!!) for only about maybe three months total. Not even maybe? We did do very crazy things for a couple that's only been going out for less than a year though hehehe :P Like Korea! That. Was. C.R.A.Z.Y. (the person with the most clever idea for what that acronym stands for will get a very special surprise from me! :D) 

Ah and no matter what you say....I still feel bad for falling way behind our monthly gift exchange! :( I'm sorry.....I don't want to be making excuses but I kinda really am busy....I'm pretty much at the lab all day during the weekdays and the weekends have been raining so much! Whyyyy so much rainnnnnn and I don't want to just send you anything so I've been looking for the right one........ :( ahhhhh I'm sorryyyyyyyy :( 

It's probably not a good thing to be saying sorry so much in a celebrating letter so I shall stop......

I miss your chocolate chip cookies! ahhhh the やさしい sweetness! Your cookies aren't like.....American Mrs. Field's sweet sweet cookies you know? (I like those too and I've made them since I have the recipe but they use SO MUCH sugar and butter it basically gives you a heart attack just by baking them. So maybe its a once a year thing.) Yours are.......kind. Like....mellow. Easy-going. They're kinda just like you! :P

Like my cookie analyzing paragraph up there? yea yea yea? :D 

I wanna ride in your froggie tooooooo I like going on drives, did you know? You probably did. You know lots about me. :P frrrroooogieeeeeee

Okay Cotton I think my brain is starting to work funny from the sugar from the soda that I haven't had in a long long time and the late time and coldness and the tiredness. Just tell Min that I love him please? :)

I love you sweetie!!! :D Silly silly KPop star! hahahaha  ahhhh my brown haired boyfriend :)

happy sixth monthsssssssss :)

Love, your girlfriend who wants to see her brown haired boyfriend in person and have him warm her up, 

Angela

So that's the letter from Angie!!

Okay she kinda just fell asleep with the fan and lights on and everything. Greaaaat now I need to get out of bed to turn them off! Oh well we have to save energy right? :)

I'm gonna sleep now too! Good nightttt~ :)

Cotton

Happy Half a Year!!

Ahh lovely~  Oh how I love you darling~   Hehe



I'm so looking  forward to being with you again in the winter!!  So I can hold you in my arms and hold your hand as we walk around and secretly kiss you when no one is looking hehehe. 


Just being with you makes me so happy dear : )


Hehe.


Writing these letters for you makes me happy, making silly songs makes me happy,  getting you silly gifts makes me happy, I'll bake you cookies too!!  : D


Going on silly adventures with you makes me happy too!!  We should go around and go on silly adventures when we have time!! 


That reminds me, we're gonna go on silly adventures in Japan right? Hehe.  Yayyyyy!


Oh!  I just realized, it's the 25th and I have 25 days left until I'm on that plane!!  I'll get my cousin's phone or wifi and text you right away as soon as I can!! : )


Honestly, I'm so happy right now that I could burst right into song! If only I can capture that moment and send it to you as a gift!!!  


Hahaha, I'm saying lots and lots of silly things aren't I?  Silly silly~


Since today was thanksgiving, I was eating lunch with my best friend's family and I realized how thankful I am that I met you!  


It is, almost midnight (I realized that I haven't made much progress in writing this because I was doing it discretely while talking to Ashton, who has no idea that I'm writing this right now while he's playing video games.) and I am sleeppyyy.  I hope, we can skype soon darling!!  Maybe I'll be able to skype with you for a little bit tomorrow (Your Saturday)?  I just checked the weather and it says it'll be clear this weekend, which means you won't have to worry about the rain!! : D  Yayyyy 


Okay, I have a rather busy morning tomorrow getting ready for the camping trip so, I will finish off here and go to sleep.


I know in dreamland, I'll be having dreams about you!  : ) (It would be really cool if I can remember it tomorrow so I can tell you about it hehehe)


Love,
Your boyfriend who loves you more and more with each moment that passes and is waiting for the day when he can see his lovely girlfriend again and go to Disneyland and go to Harajuku and eat delicious things with his sweet loving girlfriend!

Haha, sounds like Min misses Angie!  I miss Min too!!   I can't wait until I see Min this coming winter!!


*yawn

all that turkey from today is making me sleepy~

good night everyone~

28 more days to go!

Hello Everyone~

It's cute and cuddly Cotton!

Min's working on some programming project and while he's making lunch, I thought I'd quickly get on and tell everyone that in 28 days Min will be on an airplane to Japan!! : D

Min's very excited about this and he started counting down the days until he gets on the airplane to go to Japan since the 30 day mark!

Min's back!  I guess it's time for me to say bai bai~

-コットン

+1 Discovery!

Hi Everyone~~

It's cute and cuddly Cotton!!

Hehe I'm writing two posts in one day!!

Well, I guess technically, it's past midnight so it's a new day.

Min and I were looking through the blog post and Min noticed something:

Angela +1ed all of Min's posts!! : D : D

Min said he saw it and was so happy he just went full niyaniya mode and was rolling around in his bed happy!!

Hehe~

Now it's bedtime for us and we'll be going to sleep~

Good night~

*Yawn why am I always so sleepy?

Hi Everyone!

It's cute and cuddly and 最近 sleepy Cotton!

I don't know why but lately it seems like all I've been doing is sleeping.

Time to rummage through Min's backpack and eat an Altoid!

.......

Oh no!  Min's almost running out of them!  Lucky for me, he's got plenty more in his room.  Hehe

I know I haven't been writing in here lately but I've been sleeping all the time and Min's been really busy so I haven't done much writing.

I did hear Min writing his two new songs "November" and "One May Morning".  I like One May Morning.  It's a silly song!  Just how I like it!

Min says his work on Saturday wasn't as long as he was initially assigned because 2 of the classes got canceled.  This was good for Min since he was pretty tired from driving to LA and back on Thursday and Friday.  He got to talk to his sweet sweet Angie the WHOLE TIME he was at work!  They're so silly!

Min says he's been looking into presents for his Angie for Christmas already and he showed me some of the presents he had in mind and I gave him my thoughts on them.

Besides that, Min said that on Friday night / Saturday daytime for Angie his package for Angie arrived there (well, it actually got there on Wednesday or something but she couldn't get it until Saturday) and she waited until Min got home to open it!  She opened it and found lots of random silly things that Min put in for Angie including granola bars and pictures and a letter and and Min's new Single Album!!

He also put in a box of Altoids for Angie!  It's their silly Altoids that they took a picture and decided was a commercial photo for it!  Hehe~

Oh you guys you silly guys~ hehehe

You know, I was thinking, since this is my diary, I should have more pictures of myself!  Maybe I'll convince Min to take me out and take more pictures.

*yawn~

I'm getting sleepy again.  Maybe Angie will take a picture of me sleeping and put it up on a blog post soon...

Good night everyone~

-コットン

Going Home Thursday

Hi Everyone!!

It's cute and cuddly Cotton!

Weather's getting a bit chilly and the nights coming quicker!

Soon Min is going to leave work and drive up to LA to visit his family!

Min says he's gonna have a busy busy weekend this weekend but nevertheless he's going to visit family.  : )

Today,  Min went to a birthday luncheon for his coworkers and they went to this brewery and ate.

Min said he had a glass of beer and had this burger that was tasty.  I wish I could have some too but I was at home sleeping : P

After lunch Min came home and got his bag ready to go home and he woke me up and we went to work early.

He's going to leave soon so... I guess this is it for now.

Bai bai~

Meeting Tuesday

Hi Everyone!!

It's your favorite teddy bear, Cotton!

Min's had a pretty full day.  Well, to be fair, the first half of the day he relaxed and had a bit of a rest but after going to work and then meeting and then dinner with Tony, he's pretty tired and ready for bed.

*yawn~ so am I~

Maybe........maybe... I'll write another post some other time... *yawn

Good night~

もう一度あのまちへ～キミが待つ場所まで～

ヒヒ

おはよう！

コットンです！

今ミンと風見鶏聞いてます！　

Min just took a quiz for his history class in his discussion class today at 8AM and he is just sitting in PC waiting for his class at 10AM to start so he can walk over to Warren Lecture Hall.  Hehe he says that when he first talked to Angie, she didn't know that Price Center on campus was abbreviated to PC and she was really confused at first since PC also means Personal Computer.

Ahh~  It's getting a bit chilly even here in San Diego and Min is wearing a long sleeve collared shirt.  Lucky for me I have my warm fur so I don't get cold easily.  : D

I'm looking out from Min's backpack and there's not that many people in PC right now.  Probably because it's early morning and no one wants to come to school this early.  Right Min?  Hehe.

Oh oh!  Starting yesterday, Daylight Savings Time ended which means from now on, Min has to add 5 hours to his time and then flip the AM/PM .  Min says it's 12 more days until he starts the one month countdown for Japan for winter!  He's pretty excited for Japan already even though it's more than 40 days away.  Even though Thanksgiving hasn't passed yet.

Oh oh Min told me that he'll take me down to El Centro for thanksgiving when he goes down.
You see, since Min's parents don't do anything special for thanksgiving, Min always went to his best friend Ashton's house for their thanksgiving.  This year will be his 5th year going!  He says he'll take some pictures to show his Angie.  Maybe I'll use them for blog post photos later.  Hehe

Min says that hopefully his package for his sweet sweet Angela should get there sometime this week.  He hopes so.

I'm hungry.

"Min~~ I'm hungry~~"

Min says he'll get me something from Sunshine marketplace!

I'll take a picture to put up!

Hehe bai bai~

Locked out

Hello Everyone,

It's cute and cuddly Cotton again!

I'm with Min at his work and Min has managed to lock himself out of his office again!  He should really stop doing that.

He left his books that he needs to review for his midterm tomorrow inside so he can't even study...

Oh Min told me he finally shipped his sweet Angela's package! 

He says it'll take 6 to 10 business days to get there.  Min hopes it's 6 days.  : )

Well I'm gonna go play janken with Min-

Bai bai

Holiday for Angie~

Hi Everyone~~ It's cute and cuddly Cotton!! : D

Tomorrow (Thursday) for Angela is a holiday~~ : D yay~~

I'm at school with Min right now and he says he needs to use his laptop to look at this last problem for homework and to help his other friend in a math class he took before.  He says it's a really hard math class and that he needs to use his laptop to look up information.  So I guess, I have to get off for now...  I think Min says I can write another one at work so... I'll do that?

Hehe.

Bai bai~

Monday Monday~

Hi Everyone!!

It's cute and cuddly Cotton!

And today is................. Monday! : D

Reading the title, Min says he wants to watch Bloody Monday with Angela~  I think it's a drama?

Min went to class early in the morning today and then he came back and went to grocery shopping and then cleaned up his room! : D  He says he didn't get to clean all of the room but he got half of it done.  He also got reading done and says he'll finish up his homework tomorrow when he wakes up and cleans the other half of his room.  He says maybe he'll get quarters and wash his blanket and sheets and pillow covers too!

Oh, he says his Angela messaged him to make sure he goes to bed.  Min says he's really happy when he gets a message from his sweetie~

Well, until next time~
