Taking

A break.

I will be back in a week or so.
Have a great, safe and successful new year in 2007!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone.
Hope you are having a great time with your loved ones.

I have 4 more days of work. End of Thursday I'm done for this year.
In my opinion, most of my 2006 sucked. Just recently things started going upward. (phew!)
Maybe that's because 3 years of my bad luck days are ending soon. 2007 looks brighter than ever. I'm getting a huge Christmas/Birthday present for myself and someone I really care about. I will probably be telling all about it here next year... I think everyone likes surprises.

Jumping Off

"清水の舞台から飛び降りる" (kiyomizu no butai kara tobioriru) ... "to jump off the stage at Kiyomizu." means, "to take the plunge."
That's how I've been feeling last two days.



Sunset. It was beautiful out earlier today though the time I was going home from Ke-ko san's. It was freezing cold.
But somehow, I've been happy.

2007

My schedule note for 2007.

I found this today. Another clover!
Oh and... I think I'm in love.

Bright!

When I got home this evening.



Still bright! Can't believe I can be home this early...
I know what I want for Christmas...
dear Santa, I want to have a new BICYCLE. My current bike might fall a part someday... well, sometime soon maybe...

First Weekend

Oh well, weekend is over. Today, I was gonna go out to get a massage though in the afternoon dark clouds covered the sky. Thunderstorm... Hail... Sleet...
So stayed in as usual. I felt like I've never started to work. Well, that's understandable right? I've only worked for 3 days after longer than 3 months break. Monday would be very busy at work. So they probably would give me a lot more errands to do. Means I wouldn't be able to even touch my project till afternoon.
Anyways I had a good weekend. Someone has made me smile, excited and happy.


I didn't have many stuffed animals when I was a kid. I think my parents never really got me one. And also I preferred having games and books more.

Depression & Suicide

I typed what I saw on the news. (CNN, so you probably find an article there...)
I am not depressed or suicidal.

Anyways, day 1 at work.
It went okay. I don't think I will extend my contract though. I don't think there's anything to do after I finish my project. Though! I don't think I can finish my project before end of March. So I dunno what's gonna happen. We'll see eh?

I call them

Scones, you might call them biscuits.
















I usually just make them with raisins, but today I also made with reserved apple. That was great idea. I should make more reserved apple tomorrow... I only used half apple today.

Oh and I went to have a job interview this morning. I got a call tonight. Now I am not unemployed. I will start working on Wed 13th. Though I only will sign for 3 months (+ rest of this month) I don't know what would happen after April. If I like it there and if they like me there, I might stay longer. We'll see. Also 40 mins bike ride 5 days a week wouldn't hurt.

Cookies

I was getting ready for bath, but somehow ended up baking.
Didn't take that long. Smells sweet downstairs tonight.
Mom took my camera, so those are from my cell phone...

Lucky Charm

I bought that necklace the other day. I like clovers.
My mom left to Malaysia this morning. Her first oversea trip ever.
加代子さん、母に電話番号渡したので何かあったときはよろしくお願いします。

This morning before I left to French lesson, I was watching a news and they were talking about Dating violence. (Dating DV, they were calling it) I don't really know anybody who's in abusive relationship. But if the abuse is not physical but psycological? It's way more harder to tell. That made me scared. Not like I'm likely to be in that kind of relationship. (friends think that I would be least likely to be in abusive relationship and I agree.) But the big possibility that I wouldn't notice if someone close to me is in that kind of relationship... the idea scared me.

Webcast

I've been home for a while now.
My weekday schedule...
At 8, I eat my breakfast. (yes, exactly at 8. Every single day)
Around 9, I come back to my room.
Read some papers online.
Watch some news online.
Monday, I do listen some radio online.
Today, George called my name on his show. I love his shows. Especially Mon - Thu news show, "The Hour". Next time I'm in TO I will go to see the show.

I went out for dinner with my friends. Ate too much and I don't feel well... but I had so much fun.
