Tanaka Kikinzoku unveils golden Xmas tree in Osaka

What do you think about a golden Christmas Tree?? Well here is it :

Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry K.K. on Friday unveiled before the media a 150 million yen Christmas tree made entirely of pure gold and decorated with diamond, platinum and pearl accessories at its store in Osaka's Shinsaibashi shopping district.

Four filigree artists spent three months to fashion the tree, which looks like a golden fir, stands 1.5 meters tall and weighs 21 kilograms. Its five tiers of branches resemble lampshades.

"The holiday season this year may be less festive around the world (due to the economic downturn)," said store manager Mamoru Mashiko. "Still, we want people to brighten up at Christmastime by looking at this golden tree."

The tree will be on display on the first floor of the shop from 29th Nov through Christmas day.

Natsumi Step

This is a pretty old stuff. Some of you might have seen it before. For the ladies pls do not click on the explanation if you think you are not up to the creepy stuff .... ( I've already got scolded when I showed this 2 some of my friends) I put up the video version instead of the original flash file since it loads faster. What does Natsumi step means? Most ppl will think that Natsumi-chan got dump by her bf. Somehow she went through a mysterious journey and met with some new friends and finally let go of her past relationships and started to move forward. Well if you think this way, you are wrong .... So what does it means? You may refer to this site for the explanation (I'm a bit lazy to write the whole thing ... :p) and make sure you try out the omake (おまけ). Natsumi step means that she took a step and jump down from the platform and ended her life.

Bad Day

By just looking at the directions printed by David, I began my journey. May be I really do not have any directional sense.. it ended up that I spent more than 2 hours to get to my destination. The second bad thing, as I was walking into then church, there was this Indian fella approached me on a motorcycle. He said that his father's car was broke down and he is looking for foreman. He also mentioned that his h/p was out of battery and hope that I could give him a hand. Being too kind or you may say too dumb ass, I lent him mine. And the next thing you may guess it , he drove away with my h/p. I was a bit shocked and at the same time blaming myself for being too stupid. I should have seen it coming. I could have just walk away w/o even looking at him. Why am I so stupid? Anyway .. there is no
