the 9th days after...

I went out for do some errands today.
It's been 7days since I went outside last time.
I completely didn't go anywhere for 6days.
I stayed at home, watching news or dramas on TV with sitting a couch all day.

I didn't have any feelings to do something.
I was so tired to say "I'm OK. or I'm moving on to the future. or I'm carrying on".
I thought that I had to say.
Because there are so many people here who are suffering more than me.

In fact, I'm not OK. I told lie to my heart.

Now I stopped saying that as I would be going crazy.


My friend said
"You don't have to put up with my heart.
You hurt. Everybody hurts by this disaster.
Pain and Suffer can't be compared with others.
You should not consider that your suffer is lighter than others."

I feel better when I read this message.


I decided to move step by step for my own way.

the 8th day after the earthquake

It's Saturday.

Uhmmm...

I haven't been outside for 6days. completely!
Everything is jamed.
But the things seems to be better.

Some of the shops in the central area in Sendai open.
The morning market open.
However many of the people are standing in line in front of the shops to get food for hours.

I am lucky, because I have some potatoes, carrots, radishes, and other something to eat in my house. (But I don't have meat.)
Maybe my family and I will be able to live at least for 2 weeks in this stuffs.

It's 8th day after the disaster.

I hope that the things would be better soon.

3.18

Many of my foreign friends got out of Sendai by buses their Ambassy booked, because they are scared of radiation.

They have a family, and they have to protect their family from everything bad things.

I can understand this situation, but I miss them.
I miss them a LOT!

I know that it's not forever, but I don't know how long this situation is going on.

I'm scared of the leak of radiation.
I could get out of Sendai, but I have a job, and family.
My husband and my sons have also jobs and school.
(The university my son goes to will closed for a month at least)

We can't go anywhere else.


It's so sad, but I don't know even what is sad.

I am back.

I am back from my sick.

AND also my weight's back:(

However it is very important to keep good health, not loosing weight.


I had been sick for about two weeks, it's terrible!!!
I kept having to go to bathroom, and lost my weight about 2kg.
I was delighted to loose it, but it's hard.
I didn't have any enegy to do something, lost apppetite, and I didn't want to do anything!
But I am a wife and a mother at home.
I had to DO everything.
My family memebers tried to help me, but they didn't know how to do it.
As a result, there were stack of dishes beside the sink.
They didn't wash them.

sigh..


Anyway, I'm back and I realized that to keep healthy is very important!


What I want to do now is... to drink beer!!!

the last day of Golden Week In Japan

Today is the last day of Golden week.

Do you know that the "Golden week"?

Golden week is the continuity of the national holiday, which starts 29th in April to 5th in May.

It depends on the weekends, this year, we can take 5days holiday at least.

I think that the Golden week is the longest vacation for the Japanese workers, so many people go to their hometown or trip to somewhere with family.

As a result, there are crowded and traffic jam everywhere!!!

I hate it!!!

The only place I went to during G.W. was Shiogama.

I went to the Shiogama shrine with my husband.
It took about 30minute train from Sendai station.

Shiogama is famouse for seafood.

This is called "Kaisen Don".

Rice, raw fishes those are tuna, salmon roe, squid, crab, and fried egg.

It was very fresh, and great!!!

(on the other hand it was vary expensive:(

Many people came to the sushi restaurant.

After that, we walked around the town a little bit.

I enjoyed this short trip!

farewell party

I had a party at a reatraunt near Sendai station last night.

I got off work at 3:30, and the party started at 6:00.
Well, I had two hours and half extra time.
I could spend the time at a cafe or book store, but I didn't want to buy something, I went home at last.

I was at home about an hour, then went to Sendai station for the party.

The restraunt was in the AK building. It had the office of NOVA two years ago. I used to go to...
Anyway, the restraunt was pretty nice, which name is 酒楽, a Japanese restraunt or Izakaya.
I enjoyed eating! All food was great.

I have to tell you about the party.

The party was farewell party for one of my co-workers.
She was a minimum maneger.
She was not my boss, but she had a big power because of a long career in this company.
All staff members at our department had to follow her, and permitted before we did something.
She annoyed us.
Moreover she was sometime nasty to me.
I used to be a close friend, but recently I have a distance from her.

However she will move to another department next month.

YEAH!!!! I'm so happy.

I had to be nice at the party, I could have been...nice.
I didn't talk to her much.
Because I was more interested in eating than talking to her.

new teacher

I met new people yesterday.
I've already told you about it on My space.
They could be a new teacher for me next month.

Anisha is from Canada, lives in Japan for six years and runs an English school in Sendai.
Mike is from America, lives in Japan for six months, and works for her school as a teacher.

They are sooooooooooooooooooo nice.
She is very good at cooking, more over her chocolate cake is totally delicious!!!
I was so impressed with it. After I left their house, I send her a mail and asked for telling me the recipe. She was very kind to tell me.
Unfortunately I don't have some of the ingredients right now, I'll get them and cook it later.

Each students of Olympia are going to get in touch with them and negotiate everything about their private lesson.
Of course I will.
I'm considering now.
