My occupation....
I'm a musician, but since I don't have too many gigs in LA, I've been working out a lot instead 🏋 and I'm buffed up now. I've got to find more gigs soon otherwise I'll have different job title on my business card!

12 hours of movie watching!!
Ever since I moved to LA, I have been trying to do whatever I have never done in my life. Today I'm going to the event to watch five Oscar-nominated movies back to back, that are Moonlight, Lion, Hacksaw Ridge, Arrival, and Hidden Figures.
I really want to get a piece of movie industry in Hollywood so I thought it's important for me to check out these famous movies. Well, it goes for 12 hours. I must say I am regretting a little bit before I'm going in....
Surprisingly the theater is packed up. Hey, everyone in the theater, it's a 12-hour event. What were you guys thinking! People are crazy as me!😆
(Post Script) Twelve & half hours. I concurred. Oh boy, all five were life-changing wonderful films! Since I have been reading lots of great books lately, I should start watching great movies!

"Bushido: The Soul of Japan" by Inazo Nitobe
Just finished reading "Bushido: The Soul of Japan" by Inazo Nitobe, which is written in 1900. This book explains the way of samurai to non-Japanese people. The author was a scholar in education and lived in the US for decades. Have you ever wondered why Japanese people's way of thinking is different or crooked from any other cultures? I understand the culture better after I read the history of it on this book. If you like Japanese literature or manga or anime, you'll enjoy this book.

"Kowai È (scary pictures)" by Kyoko Nakano
I so wanted to read these books!📚 Thanx to LA Library! They're Japanese books called "Kowai È (scary pictures)" by Kyoko Nakano. She is an European arts historian and she explains the scary stories on the controversial pictures which we totally missed to see.

La La Land!
It's stormy weather in LA today!😆 Ha-ha.☂️
I had to come to the town right next to where I live before the storm hits, and since I'm really close to a cheap movie theater in the town, what the heck, I decided to watch a movie to cheer myself up in this gloomy weather! 🎥 I'm finally watching La La Land!
