ウイズ・ザ・フグ達 :: ぷかぷか日記&自然の縦社会


ごらんの通り、河豚でございます。みどりふぐ。

今ウチには5匹のみどりふぐ共が引っ越しまして・・・これにはエピソードがあるので少しだけ聞いて下さい。

元々はMさんが飼ってたフグが2匹いて、今週旅行に行きやがったので世話をしてくれと。毎日餌をあたえなきゃ駄目だからと。家に誰もいないんかい、と思いますよね普通。でもみどりふぐ達、会社で飼ってやがるんです。でウチのが会社に近いから運ぶとき寒さでやられる心配ないし、後から会社に運ぶのも便利との事でウチへ引っ越した訳です。そのうちの1匹は残念にも寒さにやられたのか、しばらく着いて☆になりました。ウチの水槽に入れて救助を試みたんですが時すでに遅し。普通の30cmぐらいのガラス水槽でフィルターやヒーターも何も無かったので・・悪環境かもしれません。みどりふぐの飼育やすさ(っていうかムズさ)は中の下って聞いてたのでこのままではいけないと、翌日水槽セット買いに行こうと思ったら親父がもう買っとる!!しかも全部セットされててフグも数匹ぷかぷか泳いでいるではありませんか。

やる事はえーなと関心していたその晩なんと全滅。ヒーターの数字と水温が違ってたらしい。25度って印してあったんですが小さい水槽だったので実際は30度越えてたかもしれない。Mさんの1匹はさっき言ってた30cmのガラス水槽にいて別室だったのでセーフ。ニュー水槽に入ってた数匹は残念にも☆に・・・さすがにこれは腹が立ったので翌日水温計とみどりふぐをあと4匹買ってきました。ヒーターを21度ぐらいに設定して水温計で計ったら見事26~27度に!これでしばらく様子を見てたらここ数日間かなり元気にぷかぷかしてます。掃除機並みの吸引力でおなかボッコーンになるまで赤虫を吸って食べます。面白いのでずっと観てたら気づいたんです。ふぐ達の縦社会を!餌を捕り争ってる時にふぐ達のレベルが決定するみたいで、1匹がどんどんほかの数匹を追い回して餌を独り占めしようとしやがるのです。さすがに全部食えないので他の数匹も食えてるんですが、ドンがあの一瞬で決まったみたいです。縦社会って言うとちょっとキレイごとですね。ヤッさんだよありゃー。

色々あったのでちょっと情が移ってしまってます。もうすぐ手放すのかと思うとちょっとヘコんでいる最近の琉港人でした。

(M野郎も今はまだ別室ですが元気そうでなにより。ドンが誕生してからはあの水槽に入れようとは思ってないので・・・それはもうMさんに任せる予定w)

伊呂波焼肉 :: IROHA

伊呂波焼肉IROHA
★★★★★(5/5)


Went to 焼肉IROHA last week and I have to say it was one of the best 焼肉 I had in a while. It's suppose to be Korean BBQ but they're categorized in Japanese food because of the 和牛(Wagyuu:Japanese Beef) and sashimi. I'm a bit blur on this one but most of the appetizers seems to be Japanese food but there were some Korean dishes as well, like stone rice and kimchi noodles, so, I guess it's basically a Japanese restaurant that does Korean. Or...a Korean BBQ done in Japanese style. I'm not sure what type of restaurant it is but DAMN THE BEEF WAS GOOD. It's a bit pricey, really, but the quality exceeds it all so whichever of you in HK can give it a try on a special occasion. Or if you're feeling rich this month.

ボン7 :: まだまだいきまっせ

今月で7ヶ月目を迎えるArBon又はボン。

すくすく育っとる!!先月計ったときは7.5センチ越えだったので・・・
今なら8センチぐらいかな?7ヶ月前は3.8センチだったので+4.0センチぐらい。ツノも順調に伸びてきてかなりいい感じのボン。まだまだでかくなるでしょう。



こんな肥満なのにジャンプ力は健在。ボン邸を掃除しようと思い12センチ深いタルの中においたら不覚にも軽くピョン!っと飛び出て危うくテーブルから落ちるシマツ。

心臓バクバクしながら「おまっ!こんな飛べるようになったんかああぁ」と心の底から感心してしまった。いつも土に潜って餌を待ち構えるデブツノガエルには結構ない事でかなり奇襲くらった最近の夜でした。「イッ!」

Mole Mapping :: ホクロ検討

Most of you probably know I have a perfect circle stamped right above the right side of my upper lip. That extra gap between your nose and lips. The reason why I can't try boxing. The booger illusion.
Anyways today I was sitting around thinking about the mole (I don't know why). If I was to remove it, when and how will it be done. What effects it will have in my upcoming life if it was removed. You know, the destiny stuff. How parts of your body symbolize your future. So I did a quick research on Chinese mole mapping and here's what I stumbled on.


Click to enlarge a bit...
The red marks are good(吉), and the blacks are bad(凶)(I mean the marks).
Ah, apparently that booger turns out to be a good sign!
It says 龍珠....wait a minute...Dragon Ball? I grew up with Dragon Ball as a kid and now my mole turns out to be Dragon Ball. Coincidence. And it's red. Kind of a mix emotion. Here's what it means:
-----
A mole around the mouth region of any person (man or woman) indicates that the person is full of passion or curiously attracted to beauty and passion.

Generally, such people work in (either) arts, craft, entertainment, dress designing (I think garment and tailors, etc.), beauty (I think they mean beauty salon, etc.), and sex industry(ies).

If the mole is above the upper lip, the person (herself or himself) indulges in self-gratification via beautiful objects. These people will (most definitely) work in one of the above mentioned industries.

Positive Influences: (All categorization above) will be very energetic and enthusiastic in life (or attitudes towards life). Will be able to manage the lower region (of the body) with grace/gait. Happy disposition.

Negative Influences: (All categorization above) will have a tendency of over indulgence. Will lack or will have poor organizational skills. Easily fatigued.

I can say that is almost 85% accurate. Impressive.

So....should it be removed?......

A Moment of Stillness :: Mui Wo


Nov.09 - 2008 :: Mui Wo
The weather's been great these past few weeks in Hong Kong so there's been a lot of outdooring going on. Went to Mui Wo this time, a rural town on the eastern coast of Lantau Island. A lot of people go overnight to hang out on the beach and BBQ, but this time was a half day trip only, to chill. The wind was REALLY strong so there were a lot of cloud art to see.


Most of the people in Mui Wo ride bikes. The main attractions to go to aren't so far away so bicycles is smart transportation. Most of the visitors will rent a bike to ride around to the other side where the beach and market is but this time a good chill on the other side of the shore was the way to go.

Dragon's Back :: Round 02


Nov.02 - 2008, Round 02 : The Dam.
Like I said on the previous post, the day wasn't over. After going down a few hundred steps we arrived at the Dam.The path is like what you see above. The same pavement 3/4's of the journey.


After taking turns left and right the path is still the same. It was quite tough Psychologically. Like this.


Things get brighter as we hit the edge.


The view was actually quite rewarding. Stood here a good 10 minutes before we finished off. See the mountain on the left of the pic? That's where we started.


Get's "foresty" towards the end of the long crawl. I can't stand snakes and I was constantly looking around.

Got to the end finally. Grand total of 6~7 hours of hiking in the end. Legs were soaring for 2 days. Overall it was a refreshing experience and the weather in this season now is perfect so I'm looking forward to go climb another mountain before winter.

Dragon's Back :: Round 01


Nov.02-2008, Round 01: Dragon's Back
Went hiking with a group of Veterans last Sunday at the so called Dragon's Back. Heard from "S" that it was a easy ride with a nice view. Right about the view. Ride? Smooth until the Pro's decided to cut some corners. ↓


Paths to overcome.
Left: Stairway to Heaven (Official)
Center: Rocky Mountain (Semi-Official)
Right: Brazilian Rain Forest (Unofficial). Forget the concrete pavement. The veterans have their own route. Honestly this was more interesting but that was one helluva climb. Had to push away / grab onto branches and plants in the forest to get through my way.


Saw a lot of groups bring their dogs along. This one's a fatass, I hope he got through.


On the way to the top.


The peak. Now we go for the dragon's back ride. It does feel like the dragon's back. Perfect naming.


Valley of the Wind


Rollin. The scenery was amazing, although it was a bit cloudy this day. The mist gave a lot of mood though so I guess that's also a choice. Would like to come back again on a sunny day.


No racks 'n fences. Could've slipped and rolled 10 minutes all the way down. It's also what made the scenery so impressive though. Natural.


One friggin long dragon. Walked around 3.5~4 hours.
At the end we started walking down. When we were done, one of the leaders asked us if we wanted to walk more since it was a nice day. Said there was a nice route just below to the Dam and it'll only take 1.5 hours. Thought heck why not so we went to cool off.

Turned out to be a 3 hour walk. That's Round 02.

A Day in Stanley :: 赤柱 Nov.01.2008


Our friend Shirley's birthday party was gonna be held at Stanley so we decided to take off earlier to walk around.


Don't know why but felt a sudden urge to open it.......and found a frog? toad? Don't know how the hell it got in.


Hyper Ordinary. Looks better than the flowers.


The whuchumacallits.


A..place. How do you read the damn thing I've never seen a word like that. Anyways it's a popular place but.....just stick with the toast and nothing else.


The Naoto Fukasawa Theory! People just naturally position themselves in a balanced distance. Like when the blokes are looking for a spot in the toilet to take a leak.


Finishing off the evening with God Is An Astronaut.


Sunset. Taking off to meet Shirley and friends! Happy Birthday Shirley!

Detroit Metal City :: 爆粗BAND友

★★★★☆ (4/5)



Finally out in HK. Overall it was funny but it's a bit hard to understand if you don't know Japanese. The subtitle is a bit off, translated more into HK style slurs. (First time i saw FXXK so big in subtitles). 松山 was great in both opposing roles, differentiating the dick-head faget and Krauser II very well. The acting is a bit exaggerated but that's typical Japanese style in these type of comedies so if you accept that the whole movie is a good ride.

MTvM :: Music To Your Eyes


Mtv Music just made every possible music video available. Not only are the official music videos available but also other performances including MTV unplugged, etc. I think most videos can be embedded and shared also.

Mtv FINALLY a few years too late but the content is pretty impressive. Not amazing (yet) but impressive. Still a new site (0 views on Deftones? WTF?) so I'm sure the library is going to expand.

iPod Touch 2G :: 09-14-08 Unboxing

Thought I'd finally let my Shuffle go and try one of these. Had to think a while coz I hate Steve Jobs I don't trust Apple products much. After playing around with it for a month, I have to say the shuffle is much more convenient in controlling your playlist on the go. But the media you can stuff into the iPod Touch is quite amazing and that alone covers up for the messy music controls. Especially the new 2.1 software update.



The clear hard plastic packaging. The first generation use to come in a elegant paper box but Apple got bashed for it so they changed it to a way smaller plastic packaging. It's still a smart construction. Don't know how to explain you'll have to see for yourself.


Earphones. USB Connector. Dock part. Silk cloth. Manual. and the iPod mounted on a plastic holder.



Instead of a plain transparent sheet, the 2G comes with graphics. Which means I must peel off the sheet to use it before I buy any film protection for it. Honestly the glass is scratch proof and hard enough so protection is not necessary. It's just the chrome part. You can put a scratch on the surface by just glaring at it.

And yea it's insanely thin.
