I got a new pencase♪

WORLD VISION JAPAN

http://www.worldvision.jp/

It's been 5 years since I joined World Vision.  A child I write to was only 5 years old and now he became a 10 year-old boy :-)  I didn't notice 5 years have already passed until I received this hand made pencase from an area which World Vision supports in Laos.
Actually, I was thinking about buying a new pencase for me :-)  This pencase is very nice with simple material and natural color.  I like this♪  I'm gonne use this :-)

It's been almost a year since I had that day

One of my close friends' birthday is same as mine.  We went out together last night and our friends celebrated our b-day... 10days ahead :-)  It was really fun and sweet to blow out candles together♪

Surprise!  Birthday gift from them.  Pretty flowers, a bottle of healthy liqour :-) and very elegant leather gloves.  Receiving flowers always make me happy♪  (Why not!)  I'm sure I'll bring these gloves to my winter vacation trip♪  They do match my new coat well ;-) 

I'm very happy and lucky.  I'm getting older and older surounded by nice people and beautiful friends!

COOKIES

Do you like cooking?  Me... not really. lol

I can cook, but for me it's like something you are supposed to do... like brushing teeth every day.

So I never say "cooking is my hobby" and I don't really feel it's... fun.

Plus, I never try to be good at cooking!  haha!  If I cook something healthy and good enough to eat,

I'll give an A to myself♪  haha!

But there's one thing I like making and feel fun about.  That's making chocolate chip cookies :-)

Because... my cookies are really good! lol  My friends and coworkers who have had my cookies, everybody says they like my cookies and "good job" to me♪

Tip:adding my favorite flavor... cinnamon, rum, brown sugar... a little bit more than ordinary ones :-)

Mix all the ingredients together and put it on a plate with spoons... very easy ;-)

Yeah, I know it looks like Japanese TSUMIRE stuff or something. lol

But,,, just put it in a oven and wait for a transformation... 

ta-dah♪

You'll see round shaped cookies in 15 minutes with nice smell :-)

Get your milk ready♪

shh.............

I've been enjoying my day off in the city today.  I left home in the morning like when I go to work, have finished some personal stuff.

Then I came to a library in the Peace Memorial Park as I sometimes do.
What I have been doing here is... my homework.  I'm writing a very short essay about self-improvement.  I gotta finish this by the class in the eveninig!

This is a public library for both Japanese and Foreigners.  We can check out English books and  see information about the city which is written in English.
I'm at a table now.  The Japanese man opposite is reading Haruki Murakami, a woman with blonde hair at the same table is reading a English book... she was speaking in English... and her boyfriend next to her is... sleeping.
I can hear 2 people from behind the bookshelf.  They are speaking in Chinese and Japanese, which seems like a Chinese lesson.
Another group of Japanese ladies is studying English with a native English speaking man with British accent :-)
...interesting♪  I like bing here sometimes :-)

OK, I gotta go back to my homework now!

Thank you for reading!

Can't wait!

Let me tell you about my happiness...
These are things that happened to me recently.


I received a very very very heartwarming letter from my friend.  She wrote to me a lot and shared her happiness with me.

One of my good friends is traveling all over the world.  She keeps telling us about her great experiences from a thousand miles away.  I really hope she keeps traveling safely!

Thanks to Facebook thing, I met my old friends there again and got plans to see them soon.  It's been more than 10 years since we had a great time in NYC♪

Miscommunication let me down, but I learned a lot from it.  I also learned good things will come up after being patient.

I feel my forever sweetheart, who really gave me the world, is always supporting me,,, no matter what.

I'm planning to my winter vacation trip to US in February,  yeah!

...and more♪


At the beginning of 2012,  I'm so excited about my future :-)

B-day gift for my mom

Well, it was a few days late for this but...

Happy Birthday, mom!

I knew I was gonna send her a picture or a painting in a frame but I was not sure what to buy.  I went to some shops to find one which suits her style.  It didn't take me too long to pick one because... she is my mom! lol  I know what she likes :-)

At the third shop, I met a nice lithograph with a tender image and I took it♪  I hope she will like it.  It also matches her room, I think.

I sent her a B-day card, too.  Orange, pink, yellow flowers with many petals...  This small flower shaped card is exactly her image to me♪

  All I bought today was only this gift for my mom, but it was a very nice shopping day.  I could choose a pretty picture and I also enjoyed art a lot :-)  I want to do this more often♪

Thank you for reading!

start blogging again♪

Last year, exactly one year ago...

I was having a day off on January 5th.
According to my post, what I did on that day was...  having my stomach checked with a camera,
and shopping after coming out from under the anesthetic.  lol 

http://www.rockinwasabi.blogspot.com/2011/01/ikamera-shopping.html

Since then, I had to take the same stomach check once again at a bigger hospital to see more details.
The result was,,, "nothing's wrong"  lol
A bump the doctor noticed was just because of a big vein under the surface of my stomach...

Age,,, is just a number, but I'm definitely getting older and older!
I want to enjoy everyday as much as possible and try to be nice to people...
and I'll love myself more this year♪  haha!
This is not New Year's resolutions but... these are things I wanna try.

Oh, and writing more often here, too ;-)

Thank you for reading!
