Ugggggh

Hot... it's really hot today...
30 degrees high 15 degrees low.
It's still April! Not even May yet...
Oh well, tomorrow would be end of April.
2 more weeks to go till my vacation.



Bought new pair of shoes today. Finally I got girlie shoes?!



No, not really. Got a comfy shoes as usual.

Lunch

Today's lunch. Yum.

GW is coming though I will be working. Well, I will have a week vacation in a few weeks. Can't complain.

...

Terrible thing happened today. People are still caught in those cars...
Fatalities numbered more than fifty now...

Finally

I started to use this phone...



And I got another one!



Well, I got the orange one for very very cheap... a deal I've gotten FIRST time from work...
Now I'm trying those out. And see which one is easier to use or I become to like it better.
I can use either one when I'm in TO! yay!

I'm...

Taking it easy. I haven't written many posts lately.
Not much happening here other than me planning my trip.
About a week ago I found an exciting news ... Yes, it's very exciting for me.

Less Than A Month

Less than a month, I will be in Toronto. :)
Getting excited of course though this time, I try not to make my schedule tight. Just go there and relax. Get away from work. Oh and to shop!
My friend G went back to his hometown today for a couple of weeks or so. Have fun!
I got an email from someone who I haven't talked or seen for long time... just waiting for him to say something funny/weird now. haha

Lunch Time

I was having a lunch with some of my co-workers today. One of the girls there, she's going to England for a year from July. (means she can get away from that job) Very nice.
Oh well, I will go back to TO next month... for a week though. :p

All Set

I booked my tickets. Well, I already booked my tickets from Tokyo to Toronto though something came up, so I needed to change the date. And I needed to book the domestic flights. Domestic flights, I could cover with my air mileage. :)
I am going to Toronto from May 13 to 19!
I hope to see you, you and you when I'm there!

Massage

I will get a massage tomorrow... would be good. Though the appointment is first thing in the afternoon... so gotta go to gym in the morning.
Means must get up early...

Sunny

Shopping Day

I went to the gym in the afternoon and talked to one of the trainers. She gave me some advises.
After that I went to look for shoes. I couldn't find a pair of shoes I like, so didn't buy shoes. But I did some other shopping.
Then I did some online shopping... can't wait to get them.
I feel fine now. hehe

Hot!

First day that I thought it's HOT in this year. Last week in Kyoto was pretty warm though wasn't hot. T-shirt weather even at night.
It's gonna be rain here tonight/tomorrow. Sakura will be gone I guess...

So

I've decided to go back to Canada. Yeah, again. In May.
Just making some basic plans.

Bye For Now

I went to the Takamatsu airport today... to say good-bye to my friend Kayoko and Momo.



They will move to Malaysia. Will be back in two years...
Have a good trip you guys. I already miss you!!!


More cherry blossom I saw.

Cherry Blossom

Yesterday (7th) was rainy/cloudy day in Kyoto.
At least rain stopped by the time we got to Kiyomizu-dera.


Still a day or two early for the full bloom.


Ninen-zaka.


Maruyama-koen.


My friend G trying to fool the pigeons. Soon they knew both of us didn't have any food.


Real pigeon handler. He was sooo cute. Looked he's so used to play with them.




We ended up going to Kiyomizu-dera and walked around to Maruyama-koen. Then Nijo-jo.

Hanagumori

花曇り (hanagumori) … a hazy sky in the cherry blossom season.
It would be like that tomorrow in Kyoto.
Yes, I am going to Kyoto for お花見. (ohanami = go to see the cherry blossom)
I'm thinking to take popular route. Ginkaku-ji to Tetsugaku-no-michi.
Will take some pics!

Ugh

Someone sent me this link.

Je suis fatiguee

I went to French lesson then my teacher and I went to see our friends after that.
I met my friend Kayoko's English teacher D first time. She's very nice and since D and my French teacher K talk in French. It was a good exercise for me to listen. (and try to understand what's going on!) I think I should listen someone speak French more often. Maybe I should get more DVD from Canada. Then I can watch movies in both English and French. :)

Who Doesn't Sleep?

Friends say I don't sleep much.
Sometime I can sleep very well and sometime I can't. It comes and goes.
But I have some friends who doesn't sleep much as well. And they are worse.
So we end up chatting or talking at weird hours.
Now it's about 9:30pm here. My friend is in Halifax, so it's 9:30am there. We were just chatting and we both said "I should go to bed..." Well, I won't be going to bed for another few hours but he should be IN bed right now.
Anyways, tomorrow is day off. I will see some of my friends. Oh before that I will go to the gym of course...

Vacation

I am thinking to take a week or so vacation in May.
I really wanna see one of my friends in Western Canada. I haven't seen her for... long time.
But I've never been to Australia... would be nice to go since the summer is over there. haha
I'd like to go to Melbourne but I don't know anyone there... (hey Nicole! If I go to Australia then I definitely go to Sydney!) well, I have one friend though I don't know if he'd be in town in May.
Hmmm...
Oh well, this is the great part. Thinking and planning to go places. :)

I Haven't Listened

This song...

ヒラリヒラリと舞い遊ぶように姿見せたアゲハ蝶
夏の夜の真ん中 月の下
喜びとしてのイエロー 憂いを帯びたブルーに
世の果てに似ている漆黒の羽

旅人に尋ねてみた どこまで行くのかといつになれば終えるのかと
旅人は答えた 終わりなどはないさ 終わらせることはできるけど
そう…じゃあ お気をつけてと見送ったのはずっと前で
ここに未だ還らない彼が僕自身だと気付いたのは今更になってだった

あなたに逢えた それだけでよかった世界に光が満ちた
夢で逢えるだけでよかったのに
愛されたいと願ってしまった世界が表情を変えた
世の果てでは空と海が交じる

詩人がたったひとひらの言の葉に込めた意味をついに知ることはない
そう それは友に できるならあなたに届けばいいと思う
もしこれが戯曲なら なんてひどいストーリーだろう
進むことも戻ることもできずにただひとり舞台に立っているだけなのだから

あなたが望むのなら この身などいつでも差し出していい
降り注ぐ火の粉の盾になろう
ただそこに一握り残った僕の想いをすくい上げて心の隅において

あなたに逢えた それだけでよかった世界に光が満ちた
夢で逢えるだけでよかったのに
愛されたいと願ってしまった世界が表情を変えた
世の果てでは空と海が交じる

荒野に咲いたアゲハ蝶
揺らぐその景色の向こう
近づくことはできないオアシス
冷たい水をくださいできたら愛してください僕の肩で羽を休めておくれ

At one point, I was feeling/thinking like this song...
Now I don't feel this way though I just listened this song tonight and remembered all the feelings I've had.

Power Down

Because of some constructions, we had power down this morning for few hours.
So I decided to go to the gym early.

And now I'm just surfing the net and checking out some music.
I bought those CD.

Don't know what I'm gonna do in the afternoon... maybe read or sleep...
