I follow a lot of blogs, and AkihabaraNews.com is definitely one of my favorite tech blogs. They have a lot of super hot info on new electronics that are out in Japan. Yes, drooling over things I might never have is one of my favorite pastimes.

Anyhow, it looks like Akihabara News’ mother company, Yep HIC, is looking for two bright eyed and bushy tailed interns for their office in Japan! The description states that they want FRESH GRADUATES that have either a sales/marketing or journalism/reporter backgrounds.

How awesome is that? And the best part? It’s a PAID INTERNSHIP! Well the best part is that you’d be in Japan. If I was a recent graduate, I’d DEFINITELY 100% apply for this. Sadly, I am not, so I’m passing this information to all my brilliant readers.

Check out the description below, taken directly from akihabaranews.com:

More Cute Toof Stories – Summertime

July 28, 2009 by cindy  
Filed under Random Cuteness

It’s summer for Inhae’s Milk Teef, and it looks like they are just having a blast, looking cute as ever.  I found this one week of daily posts quite endearing because it really brought back memories of my own childhood.  I absolutely loved hopscotch, playing “house” and spaceship in oversized cardboard boxes, eating tons of watermelon and watching old movies with friends.  These darling Milk Teef really reminded me of how much I enjoyed all the simple, innocent and creative times spent during all my summer breaks.  I wonder if kids these days still do all this.  I really hope so because these seven little adorable images really capture what being a child during summer is truly about.  Thanks, Inhae, for the continued sweetness :)   Enjoy!

Bao and I often discuss things via g-chat. Gossip, relationship issues, work crap and of course, she provides me with the latest fashion tips. Today while discussing Father’s Day for two seconds, she introduced me to childhood flames, a blog she follows religiously.

Take a look at our convo:

Bao: Cin?
me: Ya?
Bao: I got off at 12pm today : ) Bought my daddy somethin’
me: Oh crap, I gotta do that too
Bao: I got him a dirt cheap (but cute) 5×7 frame to put our picture in
me: Hahaha, maybe I’ll do that.
Bao: YEAHHH
Bao: By the way, look up childhood flames on Google. I really like her stuff!
me: Oh cool!
Bao: I LOVE what she picks and she’s fun. She makes her own clothes too and sometimes puts good recipes :)
me: OOOO
Bao: She likes COOL people too
Bao: That dress, COOL.
me: Awesome, thanks for the tip! Imma post it :D
Bao: YAY!

I randomly stumbled upon a hilariously cute blog called My Milk Toof, and no exaggeration, it is one of the cutest things I have EVER seen in my entire life.  It’s such a sweet little story, and it reads like a comic book.  The author Inhae is a genius.  I’ll let the story speak for itself, it’s one of my favorites!
