Sunday with the Hagio’s

Today was fantastic! It was a sunday with the Hagio family, they are so wonderful. We all slept in and then had a great Japanese breakfast and then went on a family outting to Yokohama (again), only today it was a different part of the city. It was raining pretty hard so we stayed inside [...]

Lost in Translation…

．．．has taken on a whole new meaning to me. The phrase rings with such TRUTH!! Today i was lost all day. ALL DAY. well, not all day because in the beginning Michi helped me get to Yokohama, and we walked around and she helped me get a cell phone (japan knows how to make cell [...]

First day in JAPAN

Ive been up for more than 24 hours stright, so i may have to make this a bit short. partly because im tired, and mostly because i think that i smell really bad and i just want to shower and go to bed! Also, please dont mind the poor punctuation, i cant find a lot [...]

Farewell my people

I almost just came on here to erase some things I said in earlier posts that may hurt some people. But, I decided not to since my goal with this blog is to write the truth. I think thats what writers are: seekers of truth.
So today is my last day in the USA! I went [...]

This is a girly post. You’ve been warned.

I’ve been sitting in my living room all day carefully narrowing down the very small amout of clothes and other essentials that I can take. I have to tell you, I thought I would’nt have a problem with packing since I’m a notoriously light packer but goddamn! I’m having a hard time. I think I [...]

Last day at the ‘Bucks!

It felt sooo good to walk out of there today knowing i wouldnt have to walk back in for quite a while. I love that job though, i really do. I love the people, both customers and coworkers. Going to work is, for the most part, like going to spend the day with your family [...]

Little sis is nuts-o.

It breaks my heart! I leave for Japan in 3 days and shes pushing me away so forcefully its almost difficult to comprehend. I don’t understand how someone that youre so close to can be so hurtful.
I feel like my family is broken and I’m the only one who is struggling to keep them tied [...]

Last night was my going away party at Adrian and Wes’s giant house in the city. It was awesome! Different than i expected, but awesome. A few people brought me presents, Rashell and Bryanne got me good luck charms, insense and bras. Wes and Adrian got me [...]

I wasn’t finished talking.

I know this is my second post today, but i’m totally new to this blogging thing and after spending some time reading other blogs i feel like, why have i not done this earlier?? Its awesome, totally my cuppa tea (no pun intended.) Anyway, my experience through Myspace, then Facebook has landed me here in [...]

Ain’t no party like my tea party.

I hosted a tea party at Starbucks today as a farewell to some friends and it was great. We ate little vanilla scones and cucumber sandwiches and sipped tea with sugar… those kinds of things are the best, the casual kind of social get-togethers. no agenda or dress code, just an afternoon of good conversation.
