sad thing was happened, i bought beautiful, big orange candle in thai. i loved it very much, but it had veryvery strong aroma, i left infront of door at outside, waited until it calm down a bit.

yesterday, when i came back my room after night shift, she was there. around 10:00 am, but she was gone at 8:00 pm when i tried to take out garbage. destroied it. i saw pieces of it around road.... who did it???????


i am not at angry she is gone, i hate to feel somebody did it and not even tell me. no appology. made me feel sooooo bad.


but today, nice. i think i like people. i got hair cut near my apartment, got cool skirts, $7 each, chatting with brad on face book. what elese? no rain, no work, nostalgic music, planty of candies.i feel adult when i pay bill, $10, to buy candies. not coins. makes me happy.

makes me soo happy to think of being Olalla again, in 2 days. one thing i worry about is can i pack everyghing in my bagpack???? i got planty of things to pack........... and i haven't even pick up any clothes... i 'll figure out.

i better try new skirts now! see you very very soon.

heeey, i made another trip!

i came back from Thai a couple days ago!

this time, i didn't much adventure, i wanted to my mom try some new experiance most , i guess.

it was very fun, was secound time for me to visit bangkok, but i had tried to stay cheapest way when i was there at first time, not this time. BBBUUUUTTTT, i really love Gay show and world heritage tour :) couldn't miss it. i repeated again! it was sooooooo fun, couldn't stop laughing!

And of course, we had a great thai food everyday, i wanted to try local food( padthai or some grilled vegis at booth) but we didn't because i was sick the day before i left japan..... i even came back 2 hours earlier from work..... i'm sure we can try next time!

What we have to try harder next time is TIPPPPP system, we don't have it in japan, and i don't know much about value in Thai. i'm sure i failed to tip some people ahhhhhhhhh.

i updated frickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/24870849@N04/?saved=1 they keep saying over free space, i should post other website from next time!

who come to thai next time with me???

let's gooooooo-----------------

2008 is over, 359 days left 2009!

i think i am getting older.... i know this is not something i can change, but last year was stayble... i guess there were not much new things or changing myfelf, but insted of myself, my friends and family(only my sister) had great year, made big change.

Seekign changes round me makes my body itchy!!!! i want to do something totally new, just forget whatever i have, go somewhere no body knows me, and realize that i am growing up or even getting older, because i am stainding reality what i have. oh well....

BUT, i know there is one thing i can't get rid of it, and thanks to my daily life, i can do this!!!

Yes, traveling!!!!

yay yay:) i am going to Thai next week! oh yeah, i am so glad that i am Japanese, good access to other Asian country, ironically we are still strong for even currency and visa things, this is good for us, but we have to think about this too.

anyway, i am trying to eat good food!, not expensive foodm but healthy one as much as i can.

here are some Avocado on rice, and tofu. I made both rice bowls:)

ボロ市 free market. big one!

i can't switch pictures in order, how can i do???? this is my new favorite plate i got today, 200 yen!

Coolest granma! she was taking photos! Even her back was bent while she was working, but not the secoud when she takes photos.

i had day off yesterday, went to free market in Setagaya. I saw the news 2 days ago there is big big free market in Setagaya, near shibuya area. so, i decided to go by myself, it was tuesday, and sunny day. there was no reason i shuold not go----, fun funfun.

Kamakura & Enoshima, Windy trippu!

My sister, mother and myself went to Enoshima where located south of Kamakura another day.

I worked before meeting up with them, and called my sister to pick me up at Ofuna station. BUBBBBUUUT, she was sleeping when i got Yokohama, she picked me up on time, so it was perfect. but i knew she will be late if i didn't call her..... oh well..... she is my sister.

Anyway, i slept only one hour after night shift, but i wasn't so tired some how. wonderful thing to feel. we planned to go some temples, like big butta etc.. but realized all the leaves has not turn the color this year yet. sooooo, can you guess what we did????

we cleaned her apartment!!!!!! as tyler knows, my sister cannot finish cleaning, same with me, but she has two cats, and it's always mess everywhere, covered with clothes, stuff, everywhere, i mean, everywhere....

we spend all most all day to clean up her living room, kitchen, storage??? bed room, bath room, closet, entrance! i didn't take any photo to compare, but we felt soo goood after cleaning up her room. hope she can keep it up!!!!

Next day, we stayed her apt., we went to Bakerly around 9:00 AM in Hayama, i forgot the name of restaurant but they serve just baked pastry only for 1200 for all you can eat for 90 mins! we had so many pastries, uhhhhhhmmmm. if you have any chance to come this area, I will take you over there! it's really really good, people always wait for having break fast, this time, we were secound group, but after we had seat, 5-6 group was waiting at outside!!!

After out stomache was filled with great food, we decided to go to Enoshima! I think i have been there when i was junior high school. but i don't remenber..... I'm sure Taylor went there when she was here, it's a tiny irand. we walked up and down about one hour, it was very nice. It 's kinda top of hill, so we saw mount fuji with beautiful sunshine above sky!

Check out the beautiful day in Enoshimsaaaaa,
