Hi.
I'm feeling better these days.
I think it's gonna be okay...I'm getting accustomed to my weird hair as well..haha.. I hope people around me will also get used to seeing this hair soon.

Last night I drank with a friend of mine (who is also a translator) and her Swedish friend who is now staying in her place. It was a lot of fun, and the friend whose name is Eric was such a nice person. :) He had beautiful eyes just like crystals....
My friend spoke English fluently and the other friend who also joined last night spoke Swedish so good! That was really amazing...
It was a good opportunity to speak English for me too cuz I have no chance to speak it in here...:(
We exchanged our webside URLs and email addies, so I hope we could keep in touch!

Today I was given an urgent specification to be translated. I'll be busy until next Wednesday.
I can't wait to travel with my bf on weekends.

hi guys...
I'm feeling blue these days. Don't ask me why please..

I took a day off today and went to a beauty salon to have my hair permed...and again, I failed. *crying*
Now I look like a fool again.
I want to make it straight as soon as possible.
It's hard to tell exactly how you want your hair to be cut and permed, don't you think??
I hate my hair..I dun wanna go to the office tomorrow.

Aaaanyway let's go to bed and hopefully have a good dream to forget all bad things...nighty nite!

flu...?
Mood:  down

I've got a cold...very bad cold..my sore throat is killing me---. (crying)
I hope I won't have a fever. sigh...

Today I visited my friend's apartment as she invited me and another friend to lunch at her place where she moved in a month ago. It was an old apartment but very nice. Her room had a porch, what is called "engawa". :) It must be comfy having a hot cup of tea, reading books, taking a nap..etc etc..

She cooked tasty pasta and salad for us. Yum!
For dessert we had sweet puddings...yum yum yum...
On the way back home, I couldn't help taking a cab since I felt so sick.

I came back home, cooked simple dinner, and now I'm studying real hard. (crying again...) I've got tons of reports to do for the correspondence course...they're due Feb. 1st but I only have done 2/3 of them! hahaha...
I wonder if I could go to bed tonight..

Already 10 years have passed.
Time really flies...we have to learn a lesson and prepare so we suffer less from the next disaster.

These days I spend too much money on clothes and other stuff...I gotta be more thrift!!

I gotta stop eating too...sigh.
I'm getting back to a piggy girl again..sob sob.

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...
Mood:  not sure

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
