Hookah Lounge – Majed

This was taken in a Hookah Lounge called Habibi. It’s a middle eastern themed lounge, they play arabic music, serve hookah’s, tea and some Lebanese cuisine like hummus. You can go there by taking the B line and get off at Harvard Ave. The lounge is underground, so as soon as you get off the T head towards Mcdonalds you will see steps on the side and just go down. It looks kinda sketchy from the outside but it’s a really cool place from the inside. I go here with my friends when I feel a bit homesick, this place reminds me of home a lot since most of the costumers are middle eastern and even the workers.

Fogo De Chao – Majed

This is a Brazilian BBQ restaurant located in Copley Square. It costs $46.50 per person, but I tell you it’s worth it! You can eat as much as you want!! They have an open salad bar, and they give you this card that’s green on one side and red on the other. Whenever you flip the card to the green side, they will keep bringing slices of BBQ meats to your plate. If your plate is full of you want to take a break just flip the card to the red side. Also they have this Brazilian soda called Guarana, it was reallly good and sweet, I had 2 cans of this. I went there with 4 of my friends, just 5 men together eating meat.

 

 

Living in Boston

Moving from Japan to the United States is an interesting experience. It is not my first time in the states; however, it is my first time living in the states. I have to say everything is disorganized and that may just be Boston; but, everything seems to go slower then usual. For example the T takes forever, the people driving on the roads are crazy, and the lights are very slow on turning green or red. It is very inefficient. The people here, some, are kind and other are people I dont want to stay around. That goes with all cities though. Boston is a good city to visit but you have to know where everything is if you want to live here because its sort of confusing.

Roommate

My roommate sucks; there is nothing else to say he is a terrible roommate. Let me rephrase that, I can live with him but I cannot hang out with him. He is an awkward person. Every time we are hanging out in the common area he would say one thing and everyone would be silent and he would make an awkward atmosphere. He is also tries to fit in but it doesnt really work out. Such as when we are talking about games or some type of sports he tries to make himself look like he understands everything and how his country is the best. But it backfires because you can clearly tell he doesnt understand anything.

Auditions Galore – Elainy Mata

For this semester, I didn’t make the play I auditioned for:(

But!, I promised myself that it wouldn’t stop me from acting again.

This week is all about auditions for shows next semester. Shows like The Crucible, The Spring Showcase, and Avenue Q. I auditioned for both The Crucible and The Spring Showcase and I received callbacks for both! To some callbacks may sound like nothing, but it’s an extremely huge deal for me because I didn’t even make callbacks for the first play that I auditioned for, so I am extremely excited. Tonight marks the beginning of callbacks for me . I’m just glad I can get back into the groove of theater which I missed very very much.On Thursday are auditions of Avenue Q. I am still debating on whether I want to audition for that. It’s 50/50 at this point . What’s needed to audition is a 1-3 minute monologue and a song and we have to be prepared to dance. Whatever decision I make , i’m prepared either way.

May audition/callback week continue !

Black Ops II!!!

Black Ops 2 is amazing!!! The zombie mode is so much fun. Waiting for the game in the cold was worth it. It is an amazing game. The multiplayer on Black Ops is so fun. The new types of weapons and kill streak rewards are so much fun to use. The new tech the use is just so much fun to use. The Claw is so much fun to use. Its a walking tank with grenade launchers and a Gatling gun mounted on top of it. It is so much fun. Recommended for all gamers and if not that Halo 4 and MW3 is also fun.

Celtics

Celtics game!! It was amazing!! Celtics vs the Wizards was a great game went into overtime. I went with couple people on the floor; Dan, Jadeine, Tabitha, Chris, and Jordan. It was a great game. We where sitting really high up but still we saw the entire court so it was fine. We where all standing and screwing for every shot. All the 3 pointers made by the Celtics the entire crowed was just silent and what came next was YEAH or OHHH. It was an amazing game. 88-88 and going into overtime.

Panera

Yes another restaurant..so what i like to eat. Panera is a great place to go to especially in the winter. A hot bowl of soup and a sandwich or salad would do everyone good. I usually go there and just eat and I bring my laptop…they have free wifi. Its a great place to do work. It is a nice quiet environment with food, coffee, and pastries. Its not far from our dorm rooms either. Just walk down tremont towards emerson and it is at the corner of Tremont and Stuart Street. I recommend the broccoli cheddar bread bowl and the greek salad. nomnomnom

Veterans day weekend

After my sisters birthday party I came home feeling a bit sick. It turned out I had the stomach flue and for the rest of the weekend was in bed or the bathroom. It was not the most pleasant experience of college but it only lasted for 2-3 days so it was not so bad. I could not eat or sleep for a day but when I was able to. I ate so much food and slept for 12 hours or more. It was amazing. Even though having the flue sucked.

Boston Common Ice Skating

WINTER IS FINALLY HERE! and so is all the christmas activities that come along with it. Boston Common provides everyone with a chance to go ice skating on the frog pond. I went last week before Thanksgiving break and it was loads of fun! I was a tad rusty since I hadn’t skated for about a year but you get the hang of it after 10 minutes of just trying not to fall. It isn’t expensive at all and if you go with friends you’ll have a blast. I also found out that Tuesdays I believe are college nights so its $2 per person! everyone go and experience the fun and the adrenaline rush you get from it.
