Seasonal Lighting

2007-02-28T22:11:00.000+09:00

On last Sunday, 25th Feb., I went to Gotenba to see the seasonal lighting.
It is called "Toki no Sumika".
It is said that the lighting in Gotenba is the most beautiful place in Japan.
My boyfriend told me about the lighting before, but we didn’t have a chance to go.
So I was really excited and looked forward to going there with him.
It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get there, it was not too far from our place.

The lighting was very very beautiful!

I’ve never seen such wonderful and beautiful lighting in my life.

Here is the pictures!

We walked through the tunnel decorated with many many lights.

The bells were on the roof.

Don’t you think it is really beautiful?

Today is the last day for this year’s seasonal lighting.
I really recommend that you go and see it next year!

Here is the website where I went. There are many beautiful pictures on this website.

Today I could see such a beautiful sky from the office window.
There were no clouds in the sky, and it was so clear because it's just after the rain.
I wished I could run away from work and take a walk somewhere.....

Of course, I couldn't do it.

It is getting cooler and cooler these days in Japan, the leaves are beginning to turn red and yellow, especially in the mountains.

Next week, my boyfriend and I are planning to go to a place where it is famous for the beautiful colored leaves.
I'm very excited!

Chilly night

2006-10-23T22:03:00.000+09:00

Rainy day and chilly night.

Today I started to use the electri carpet.
As soon as I turned the switch on, my cats, Chiro and Coo, came to my room and started to sleep on the carpet.

But Coo found the small box which seemed to be very good size for him.
He liked to go into the box and sleep.

Aren't they cute??

I'm back, again!

2006-09-08T22:10:00.000+09:00

Dear my friends,

I'm sorry I haven't update my blog for few months.
I've been thinking about this, but I didn't have enough time to write.....

Well, here is my latest news:

***7 months have passed since I went out with my "Mr. Right".***
On 4th Ocotober, 7 months have passed since I went out with him. We are really doing fine. Since we started to go out with, we talk on the phone or chat almost every day. I really enjoy spending time with him.
Our latest date was going to Disney Sea! This was the second time for me to go there. (First time, I went with my family...) It was very nice day, and we had a wonderful time! One of the most exciting attraction was "Tower of Terror". It was like a free fall attraction, so very scary....
But I really had a good time.

***May is going to be 7 months old.***
She is getting not only bigger, but heavier and more powerful.
Few weeks ago, her weight was 19.5kg.
Everytime we walk around with her, it is very hard to keep her walk besides us.
We always say "May, please walk slowly!".

Well, I'll promise that today is the restart day to keep writing my diary.

Thank you for reading, and please come and visit here again!

See you soon!!

After work

2006-06-28T20:35:00.000+09:00

On the way home yesterday, I felt I wanted to cut my hair because it got long and looked heavy. So I called the hair salon where I usually go to, then made a reservation.

I asked my hairdresser to keep the length but thin out my hair.

Hmmm, I think it looks better. But it makes me look young. :)

Everytime after setting my hair style at the salon, it looks really nice.
Everytime I set my hair by myself on next day, it doesn't look nice.

Why not??

Wisdom Tooth

2006-06-26T23:00:00.000+09:00

I went to the dentist today to pull out my wisdom tooth.

It really hurts...
It took so long to stop bleeding.
I couldn't eat and talk at all.

It just hurts.

I still have 2 more wisdom teeth, and doctor said to me that it's better to pull out all of them. No kidding! Do I need to have such hard experience again? NO!!

Home Cooking

2006-06-24T22:19:00.000+09:00

"Home Cooking"......
It is a little embarrassing to say "Home Cooking". :)

The Menu
********************************
Curry soup with potato and cod
Cold "tofu"
Sauteed cabbage and whitebait
********************************
I couldn't finsh to make dinner before he came home though, he said he was really happy to have dinner like that.
I was happy, too. :)
Next time, I'll try to finish making dinner in time!

Here is the photo of the first home cooking for him.

This is the curry soup with potato and cod.

He lives on his own, so he doesn't have enough dishes. It doesn't look nice, does it?
I should buy some nice dishes for him. :-)

Tomorrow

2006-06-23T22:00:00.000+09:00

I'm bit excited but nervous about tomorrow.

Because I'm going to make dinner for my boyfriend.
What am I going to make?

I've been thinking about this all day, so I bought the cooking book on the way home.... Hmmm does anyone have good idea?

Wish me good luck. I'll tell you later. :)

Anyways, have a nice weekend!

He's back!!

2006-06-16T20:42:00.000+09:00

Yeah, I'm really happy!! :-)

He's back to Japan!!

He said that he could really enjoy his holiday with his colleagues. I'm really happy to hear that. Relaxation was what he really needed.

Chiro & Coo

2006-06-14T23:47:00.000+09:00

Chiro & Coo are not good friends basically.

Normally, they don't sleep together. Because Cool always tries to make a snap at Chiro. There are slight distance between them, when they sleep on my bed.

But today, I could take a picture that was very unusual.
Look at this! Aren't they cute??

I hope they will become good friends in the future!!

Company trip

2006-06-13T23:30:00.000+09:00

Company trip to Saipan!

Not me, but my boyfriend.

He flew to Saipan this morning. He will stay three nights, then will back to Japan on Friday. It's not a long vacation though, but it's a break for him.

I wanted to go with him!!

FIFA World Cup 2006

2006-06-13T00:16:00.000+09:00

What was the problem??
Our Team Japan lost 1 - 3 to Australia.

3 points added at the last 6 minutes of the game!
What a pitty game it was!!

It's so hard to watch the sports news now.....

Anyways,

****************************************
Dear our Team Japan,
Get over this difficulty and looking forward to seeing your best plays in the next game!!

Go! Japan!!
****************************************

Bigger and bigger

2006-06-08T13:00:00.000+09:00

May, she is going to be 3 months old this Saturday.

She is getting bigger and bigger.

Today, her weight is 9.0 kg!!!

But she is still baby, I think. She is still in toilet training, she can't do by herself.

We may find that she is not smart girl......

Anyways, she's going to be a big girl!

It might be hard to tell that she gets bigger than before from this photo.....

Another Best Shot :)

2006-06-03T12:47:00.000+09:00

I took this picture from the building where we watched the fireworks on 2nd June.
On the right side, there is a Landmark Tower, and three buildings called Queens Square Yokohama on the left.

My boyfriend & I watched this such a beautiful night view.
It was just wonderful.

Yokohama Port Festival!

2006-06-02T23:00:00.000+09:00

Yokohama Port was opened in 1859, and every 1st - 2nd June, there are lots of events to celebrate the opening the Yokohama Port.
One main event was fireworks displays. Fireworks exploded with music and laser beams. That was fantastic!!
This is the best shot of mine which was taken by my mobile phone camera. Isn't it beautiful? :)

May's information.

2006-05-11T11:30:00.000+09:00

Almost 2 weeks will pass since May came to our house.
She is really good & smart (we think....) girl.

She can understand "sit", "wait", and "Good".
When she came to our house, her weight was 4.9 kg. But today, it was 6.6 kg!!
(How big is she going to be??)

She is growing too fast, isn't she?

First Trip to the Izu Peninsula

2006-05-05T13:02:00.000+09:00

I went on an overnight trip to the Izu Peninsula with my boyfriend.
It was the first trip for us. We were very excited.
Normally it may take few hours to get there from Yokohama by car, but it couldn't.
Because the trip was in the middle of the Golden Week Holiday.....
It took about 7 hours!!

First day, we just played tennis for 2 hours at Komuro-yama.
There were lots of beautiful azaleas at there, but we didn't have enough time to see them.
That's really pity.

Second day, we went to Mt. Omuro-yama.
(I found the website that describes about Mt. Omuro-yama & Komuro-yama. Please click it. )
http://www.infocreate.co.jp/hometown/ito/midoko-e.html

We took the lift to the top, and walked around, and played archery on a large volcanic crater.
It was the first experience for me to play archery, but I could hit the target on the first try.
And the scenery was so beautiful. I recommend you to visit this place when you come to Japan.
These are the pictures of Omuro-yama.

This is the lift which we took. I was little bit scared when we went down... But Azalea were so beautiful.

This is the picture of the scenery where I took from the top of Omuro-yama.

We really enjoyed this first trip!!

Have a nice holidays!

2006-05-03T00:03:00.000+09:00

I go to the Izu Peninsula with my boyfriend for holildays.
I'm so excited but there is one thing that I am worrying about.
It is an "Earthquake".

Few days ago, there was an earthquake at there, and today it occured again! I wish a big earthquake won't happen again. Wish us good luck.

I put the May's website link on the right side of this page, so please visit when you have time. (But that is all in Japanese....., I think you can enjoy the pictures.. :))

Anyways, have a nice holidays!!

May has come!!

2006-04-29T23:15:00.000+09:00

We have a new family today!

Her name is May.
She is about 50 days old.
She is a Labrador Retriever.
Her hair color is very dark brown, it looks like black.

This is our new family, May!!

Isn't she very cute??

I'm back!

2006-04-21T22:55:00.000+09:00

Hello, how have you been? Long time no see.
1 month has passed from the last post.

Today, it was a really good day in Tokyo. Can you see Mt. Fuji in this picture? I took this from the window where I work. It was very beautiful. Unfortunately, this picture is not clear, because this is taken by using my mobile phone camera. I should have brought my digital camera..... (it's impossible, though.)

WBC -World Baseball Classic-

2006-03-21T23:08:00.000+09:00

Congratulations Team JAPAN!!

You guys are so lucky, but today's game was absolutely wonderful!!
We all proud of you!!

After that...

2006-03-09T23:02:00.000+09:00

I'm really having a good time since last week.

As I wrote, I am feeling like an emotional yo-yo. But I didn't need to. He has been interested in me since we met. Wow!!
We had date, and talked a lot, and I go out with him now.

I'm very appreciate to everyone who gave me lots of advice.
Thank you!!!

Take it easy.

2006-03-01T20:41:00.000+09:00

I was looking up in a dictionary to find the exact word which describes my feeling, and I found these phrases.
*nervously
I react nervously to every single word of his.
*emotional Yo-Yo
(I don't know how to use this idiom. If you have to use this idiom, how do you use? )
*excited / happy
*Don't rush.
*afraid / worry

There is no progress today, I'm sorry that I might keep you in suspense.

To be continued later. :)
