Happy Birthday, Natsuko Sensei!

&This is for my mama!

this week

this week was a long week... did a lot of studying, a lot of eating, &a lot of clubbin! i made a new youtube account for those who want to see videos of me and my adventures in japan. my youtube name is wheremybabymamaat. :D im working on a new "project," having japanese people say, "where my baby mama at?!" it hilarious! it all started when the owner of my school's daughter was pushing a toy stroller around with 2black babies in it. hitomi and i were like, "wtf?! why does she have black babies?" then juno (the baby) gave us a stare and i was like, "look! she's walkin around like 'where my baby daddy at?" and we thought it was hilarious... so now im asking my new friends to say "where my baby mama at?!" :) well here's the pics from this weeks events...
