QP's 80yrs anniversary mayonese jar.


samui...It's really hard to wake up in the morning these days...It's so comfy to be wrapped by warm futons...don't u think?

Anyway I came back here two days ago. The work started and I have been very busy until tonight. It'll be a little better tomorrow...phew.
Yes, I have to work tomorrow. sobsob. Our company does not give us many holidays.

These are the cakes we ate at comme ca cafe in Osaka. They looked so good but the taste was so-so...

A new year has started! How is your new year so far? Mine is so-so...just tired of eating food...This is the cake I ate at Daniel A-table in Mikage today. White-chocolate moose inside...yummy. It was quite tasty. :)
Tomorrow I am going to rest my body and stomach.

On new year's eve, we went to Kyoto as usual to visit my grandpa's grave. Since it snowed heavily there, the trees were covered with snow and showed a beautiful picture just like a "sumi-e". It was really beautiful, but it was too cold to stop our feet long to enjoy the scene...
After we had tasty lunch, we headed home. My sister and I bought cute handkerchiefs for each other. I love it!
In the night we didn't do anything special but watching TV and eating light meal. However, at really late at night, my friend called me and we met up in Nishinomiya to have a first drink of this year...it was okay.
On Jan. 1st, we went to Kanno-ji at kabuto-yama as usual. I tried omikuji but the result was not so good. I got Chu-kichi. mmm. I bought some taiyakis at the temple. yumyum.

The skin of my face got a pimple after coming back home...sob sob. It's maybe because of the change of environment. sigh.

I cleaned up the office, went to Noukai, went back home, and cleaned up my room. tired...
and the food served at Noukai was not as good as last year's. I could hardly eat dinner tonight. :(
The president of our company talked to me and Jun-chan when we were chatting over oo-long tea.
Since he approached behind us, we couldn't sense him in advance and couldn't escape...(our president is feared by his employees...)
However, he talked nicely though kinda selfishly. but I liked what he talked. It's because he was a little drank that he talked happily though... hmm, anyway he gave plus-alpha to the translators in addition to the bonus of this year, so anyway we said thank you for that courtesy.
When we finished talking, there was no people around us in a diameter of 2-meter...

Hah, anyways, I'll be leaving for my favorite home town the day after tomorrow by car which my bf will drive all the way...Although I can't get home tomorrow, Im happy about the fact that I dun have to pay the ticket for the airplane, and perhaps we can eat tasty misonikomi-udon at Nagoya...hopefully.
Thank you for accessing my website this year. I will keep updating my diary and hopefully the gallery and so on. Please come visit here when you are bored and have nothing to do! bye now and see you next year .
nami xoxo

Last one day!
Mood:  bright
Tomorrow is the last day at office in this year!
This month was really tough...I've got some work to do still now though...
Anyway, I will be leaving my room the day after tomorrow. :D
There's going to be a noukai in the evening.

Christmas was okay. Nothin special...we only had Mos-chickens and beer...watching TV..oh, but we celebrated my bf's birthday. I was happy that he liked the present after all. ...though the jacket was too small for him to fit in. *crying*

Anyways. we gotta wear nice suits tomorrow.

This is a picture of Nippon-maru which was at anchor in Yokohama port. It was very beautiful. :)
In the evening we grabbed a big cup of latte and maple cookies and saw the movie "Mr. Incredible" at 109 movies. It was hilarious!!!! For us, it's much better than Haul's... There's no "??" left in my mind after the movie. We could simply "enjoy" the movie. :) This is how the movie should be. right?
It was very simple, cute, fun, kinda realistic, and also fantastic.
There's a short movie about a pretty sheep before the story itself starts. Listen, it's ammaaaazingly cute!!! It's a few-minute movie about a sheep and his fur, but geez, I LOVE it! He bounces and bounces...I want a DVD of that sheep movie... Of course the "mr..." movie itself was really really good as well!
Anyway, we (again) had tasty Chinese at China town and headed home.

tired...

Too much work...huh it's sort of killing meeeee.
I want to get on a roller coaster and scream as loud as I want!!! to explode the accumulated stress...

Tonite I cooked "karei" as I said last night. It was okay. I think it's a good season to eat karei now...cuz its meat was really soft and tasty.
It's still Thursday tomorrow! This week feels so long to me.
Two more weeks to the holidays.
The picture is my bed...to sleep tonight. zzz

Geez, Kiss-iya is different..shinsuke is missing. I like this program a lot though. hehe.

Tonight I had my wisdom tooth taken out. It was really quick!! This is my third one to be taken out...there's a tough one left ...sigh.
I won't do anything about it until it starts hurting me. I gotta see the dentist regularly until the tooth decays are treated. :(

It's becoming really cold these days! We went to onsen in Hakone last night. It was sooooooo nice. The onsen we took is named Furusato. It was the most beautiful and comfortable onsen I have ever taken..
On Saturday I went to Yokohama by myself to buy prezzies. The department stores were full of couples. I bought what I had to buy and headed home. On the way I bought four sweet potatoes. yum.:)

As I re-designed? my room yesterday, all the muscles of my body aches...

short of grocery
Mood:  hug me
My fridge is empty...I gotta go to the supermarket but I couldn't ...cuz I had to work late. sob sob.
Now I'm translating the papers for the meeting tomorrow. It's fun to do something other than patent specifications. :)

I was back in home in Hyogo on weekends. I went to see my grandpa and other relatives, and had a good time with my family as well. I missed my doggy though...
In Kobe my parents took me to a nice old restaurant named Ju-ji-ya. It had a very nice atmosphere of the good old time...and the food was really tasty. It's so-called a Yo-shoku ya. Mmm, I'm lovin' it. :)

Anyway I came back to this lonely apartment last night. My skin is so rough...hah...
One more month to the long holidays. hehe

I started going to a tennis lesson at a gym today. As my friend asked me to go with her, I decided to do so cuz I thought I needed some exercise.
There were only three students tonight. But...it was really tough! I mean, the lesson did not need that hard work, but it requires a skill...which is missing in me. We got really tired after the 1.5hrs lesson. I think it's good for health though...I think it's unlikely that I can keep learning it...cuz I didn't think it so fun!

On weekends I went to Tokyo with my bf as he had to do some stuff there. It was a chilly day! In the evening we headed to Yokohama and spent some time at Ohsanbashi as we always do. It gives us such a stunning view everytime we go... and the city had such a warm atmosphere of Christmas already. The twinkling and shining Christmas trees and decorations were so cute, although we went to China city to have tasty Chinese and went back home with no romantics.

Hah...a new week started...this week I have to work a lot. *sigh*
