I just wanted to leave a quick note about my recent absence. You can say that I’ve been doing a bit of self searching. I’ll be back soon once I’ve gathered my thoughts and can finally sit down to blog…. Be back soon, I promise 🙂Read More →

Ellie turns 3 today. She’s been trying to hold up 3 fingers on her own but it seems this is the easiest way to do it. It’s really amazing how it’s been 3 years since she’s been born. Everyday is interesting with her in our lives. She talks so much these days and she can be so clever with the way she words things. She still speaks mostly Japanese but we know that she understands English perfectly fine. Sometimes we think she is way too smart for her age, especially since she can remember certain things so well that she will bring it up whenRead More →

A blog post! Hurray! I’m slowly working my way back into the whole blog thing. It’s a little weird visiting blogs I haven’t been to in a long while and commenting on things that go waaaay back to December so I’m just going to stick to commenting on more recent posts.  I think I may have to go through my Google Reader one day and purge blogs/websites that I no longer read or those that are no longer active. But it’s nice to see 3 digits of unread items instead of the 1000+. First off… Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the year of the dragonRead More →

I really had intended on writing several posts this week. I even had the post started and thought out. But then I realized something…. Next Monday is Halloween. Which means that all Halloween parades and celebration are going to take place this weekend. Having missed all of them last year because of rain and getting sick, I am determined to take E to one this year. I only had one problem. E did not have a costume yet. Well, to be more accurate, I had not started on making one for her yet since I was still debating on what to make this year. InRead More →

I have such big, happy news to share with all of you! Our bloggy friend, P got married to B on October 14th! Since this is not my happy news, I’m keeping their identity a secret, so if you know who I am talking about send them a congratulations via email! I was going to wait to see if she will announce it herself but she hasn’t blogged in ages and I just couldn’t hold all the giggles and happy smiles to myself 🙂 I just found out about it on Facebook from the photos posted so I am just as surprised as everyone! SinceRead More →

I’m taking a few days off from blogging this week. My brain feels a little fried from all the poetry I have to write and think about for my class (yes, I am taking poetry writing…). It’s making me have writer’s block when I’m in front of my computer even though I’ve got stories to share. I’ll be back next week with stories about a circus, field trips and something else that I cannot for the life of me remember what it was that I wanted to write about….but it’s suppose to be good, I think. Have a good week and I’ll see you guysRead More →

I wish I could give everyone something…hmm, maybe I can do something for Christmas this year… I’ll think about it 🙂 Have a good weekend everyone!Read More →

Still here! Just wanted to drop a quick note in case anyone was wondering how things are.  Currently in California but I’ll be leaving for Tokyo tomorrow.  It’s been quite an interesting week seeing my family, cleaning out my childhood room and missing Jason and E since they didn’t come with me.  So many discoveries made and so many stories shared with my sister but it’s time to head back to Tokyo now. I’ve got my 2 favorite people waiting for me at home.  More stories later…Read More →
