Pictures from New Years @ Club V20

w/ Me, Keren, Chad, and Fernando

Hollywood

Went to the Griffith Observatory with Chad, Keren, and Fernando. If it weren't for the foggy weather, the pictures would have turned out a lot better.

Cosplay

Bought this cosplay in Akihabara. The uniform is from a visual novel called (俺たちに翼はない)Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai - Under the Innocent Sky.

Since I have long hair I'll be cosplaying as Asuka Watarai. I just need to get the boots and hair ties.

もちつき

12/20/08

I did もちつき (traditional Japanese pounding of rice) at my aunts house in Monterey Park. 

も ちつき-mochitsuki is performed during the end of December in preperation for the new year. You buy the special sweet rice min of 5 pounds and soak in water the night before so the rice get plumpy.

I invited Sean and Kevin cause they never did it before. We were each supposed to make 5 pounds worth of mochi for our families but my mom bought the 10 pounds of rice by mistake. I knew from the night before when I was soaking it that the portion was a little big from last year but I never checked the bag. I think we made over a 100 mochi all together. Most of my relatives made plain or red bean filled mochi. For the past two years I made peanut butter mochi and my relatives thinks it's weird. It actually tastes good. We started at 9am and ended around 1:30pm. When we got home, we all divided up the mochi. Fun memories.
