New Job!

Lately, I have been going to beautiful weddings, meeting new born babies, seeing my best friends husbands, and also girls who are still single and perfectly happy ;).

While I was in Orlando, I was getting caught up with daily routines and felt like I was ready for something new. I decided to stay in Kagoshima instead of moving to Tokyo which I was little sad about cause Tokyo will definetely gives me a lot of opportunities.... :(

Moving somewhere is very expensive here also, and to just move in we have to pay at least $2000 to $4000 for landroad or management.

Buying new furnitues and everything will be too much if I may only looking at living there a year or two. So I decided to stay home and find a job I can go from there.

Someone finally hired me without a year contract!!!

So I will start working at a hotel close to my house, this week!!!

I cannot wait!

I am looking forward to learn Japanese customer services and meet wonderful people!!

New born baby....

One thing i was really sad about was while I was away from home forever, I missed one of my best friends wedding. She's got married two years ago.

Now Im back and going to lunch with her sometimes.

She always makes time for me. Best friend forever really does exist!

When I got back home in July, she told me she is expecting a baby. and firnally! She's got new baby boy two nights ago. I and some of my friends from high school basketball team went to see her baby tonight.

Some of my basketball teammates already has got babies so there knew how to hold him but for me was just first time ever and super nervous!!

He was so precious and tiny...

Trip to JAPAN

a little hot spring for feet. like foot bath.

You can rent a little house for like an hour which has hot srping.

It was so hot and felt good.

It is supposed to good for your skin.

Small town known as hot spring!

Since I was away from home almost four years....., I feel like I am still just visiting here.

Everything I see looks so amazing lol

I went to little trip with my family yesterday.

and took bunch of pictures.

Everyone must have thought I was funny cause I look Japanese but taking pictures of everythig.....

monchi-chi who I sleep with every night :)

movie theater. I forgot that going to see movie is super expensive back home. It's about $20/person. Luckly there is ladies night which is ONLY $10....., every thursday. I think it was around $7 to $10 in Orlando as regular price.... but anyway I and my sister went to see sex and the city 2! It was funcy movie theater.

There is bike parking lots in the building besides car parking lots lol.

It's usually connected to shopping center or train station

It's so interesting but most of the place you can get around by bike!

Crape and ice cream. yumyum :)

Home

After 17 hours(stop over Canada), I landed Tokyo, Japan.

It was super humit.... so felt hotter than it actually was!!!!

Stayed in Tokyo for a week, had some interviews and saw some old friends!

Customs of Japanese are coming back to me day by day like no one ever carry laptops...

Everything is done by cell-phone and computers are every where. Also most of the time,

ppl use subways or trains so its too heavy to carry them all the time.

morning trains were so packed... I waited for next train but it was packed again so I ended up

going in for the third time lol.

Train officers suggest us to go inside to push in more people lol.

There was no space between person to person. it was insane!!!!!!


Anyway, Tokyo had it all. it was amazing!


Came back to my hometown Kagoshima a couple days ago.

Enjoying slower life than Tokyo. It's a small town if I think about it.

I already saw some of my friends without planning.

I love it.. I really love this friendly and lovely town :)

I have been missing my boyfriend really bad.

We didnt have internet for a while or phone.

We finally got computers and internet so trying to do some webchat and super excited!!

First Blog from Japan Finally!!!

I dreamed of being back in Elementary school.


Everything came through in my eyes was so precious and fresh.

Fullest of hope, had no worries but warm heart.

Had great parents, grand parents, friends and teachers.

Teachers were always so supportive and led us to the best.

There was nothing impossible, and we could be anywhere we want.

We must have believed in ourselves and our future.


It was definitely one of my best six years of my life.

Since when I or we lost that precious memories and feeling that we always had when we were kids?


We just need some more courage and believe in ourselves, then we probably still can do

anything we want.

Orlando...

I have a little time left in Orlando.

I have been spending lots of time with my boyfriend, Ryan.

We went to st. petersburg beach, celebration, Disney, universal, and etc.


Ryan made my life in Orlando fullest and so much happier.



I can't really think that my home is so far away and I won't be able to come back

whenever I want.


4 years... I have so much memory in this town.

Marrige

Marriage

Young marriage is often criticized especially after decades of years high divorce rates in this country.

I usually agree to this opinion. I think it is appropriate to marry between ages 27 to 35.

I have to admit there are some exceptions.

This couple I know Kala and Michael. They started dating when they were in high school and married junior year in college.

Michael and Kala are both very smart. Michael graduated college in ophthalmology, continued to stay in graduate program to became a doctor. Kala started in biology which I used to love, too lol. She switched to nursing major and got into better school. Graduated year behind than normal students due to changing major and school. She started working in ER. Now she is back to school for master so she will be able to prescribe medication.

I think this couple is pretty amazing. Marriage is a commitment. Sometimes, it gives us impression of giving up of each other’s freedom.

The case of Michael and Kala is unique because they started dated so young. They have been through all the process to get into school to think about the future together, and always supported each other. Studying together, spending time separately don’t probably bother them. Plus they have quality of trust.

Girl like me or many girl friends of mine would think that separation of place mostly means that end of relationship. When we were younger, we thought love last forever, and long distance relationship could be romantic. As we became older, got experience to manage feelings and things turned out realistic.

Many of my best friends are already married. There is no reason for me to be rushed but I started wondering what best marrige really is.

My very First Blog

stimulated by Ashley and Ryan, I decided to start my blog.

so I can keep in touch with friends when I go back home/Japan!
