last party

I've done the last party of this year tonight.

It was for my private teacher!
Her other students and I celebrated her effort and express to her out gratitude with her teaching at this party.

She had been studying Japanese very hard for 4 years, and finished to take a Japanese exam 3 weeks ago. Her student visa expired this month, she will go back to Canada next year.
It is sad, but the party was great!We talked a lot, and ate nice food and drink.
It was pretty good day for me.

After the party, I got a mail from her.

She said, I was quiet and distracted during the party. She worried me.
My teacher Olympia is so sweat!
I responced her soon, I'm OK.
Yes, I could have been seemed like quiet. In fact I am not so familiar with other students.
And they are so passionate that I could not speak at all.
They kept speaking, speaking, speaking!
I didn't know when was a good timing to interrupted their conversation.

I am also shy, I haven't spoken to them much before, so I didn't speak a lot, then I was just listening to them and being quiet.

I enjoed the party, but sometime my attitude like tonight could become a trouble.
Because it seems like that I wasn't happy... I should be more careful at a party.

I'm back.

I'm back from my hometown.

Unfortunately, going back there was for a fuenel with my granma.

My granma had five children.
My father is the elderest, so he managed the celemony and very busy.

I talked to many relatives, uncles and an aunt.
While I talked to them, I heard an unexpected story.
My father wasn't the elderest!
My granma had a private child before her marrige.

It was over 70 years ago, so it was soooooooooooooooo hard to raise the child by her hand.
My granma gave up to do it...

I didn't know that.

The aunt came to see my granma sometime, but I haven't seen her before.
However she has same image with my granma, so I can reconize easily, my mother said to me.

I hope to see her next time.

granma

I got a call from my mom right now.

My granma has been in a houspital (kind of nursing home), and she is unconcious now.
A doctor said to her that my mother won't live so long.

My mother said that I have to be ready for going to my hometown, Morioka, when she died.

I felt sad when I heard of that.

beautiful moon

:)

busy!

I have been so busy recently that I couldn't continue to tell you about the story.

Please wait for it...

the research 2

According the time schedule, we were going to Hachinohe (it is about 300km far from Sendai), and back to Sendai, then we would have lunch in the bullet train at Sendai station, after lunch we would go to Hachinohe again, back to Sendai, we would have some rest, then go to Hachinohe, back to Sendai. We would go to Hachinohe three times in a day! WOW

However, we had some things "must not do" and "must do" during the research.
1. we must not get off the train if the train stop at a station.
2. we must not open the curtain with a window.
3. we must sit the seat which is as same as each number, mine is 15, down anytime.
4. we must not talk to anyone during the testing.
5. we must follow the staff members. we can't go bathroom whenever we want because the test time schedule was set perfectlly.

Anyway we started the studying.

the research

So I went to Sendai station, got there at 7:30 in the morning.

Some staff members got already there, and they were preparing for the research and waiting for us.

Oh, I didn't tell you what the research was for.
They said, it was for that how we feel when we get on a new model type of bullet train which they had been making.

Back to the story, I met the staff member, they checked my name, and gave me a number "yellow 15". That was My number at the research.

Around eight, almost fourty entries came to Sendai station. We didn't know yet where we were going to.
The company staff members explained us about the research, and time schedule.
We handed in the agreement for the research, and we had to keep secret about the research.

We got on the new bullet train, and started the research....

to be continued...

it's secret!

It is secret, and I have to keep it, but I'll tell you both.
This is a special blog, because I won't write about it on My space.

I got a paper at a plat home in Sendai station three weeks ago.
The announcement said,
"We need the people who can help us with our research."

It sounded interesting, so I applied for it.

The company which is named "Railway techenical research institute" said
Sometime we turn you down when too many people come to apply for it.

But I was chosen!

So I went to take it today.

(To be contined)

rain

It is raining today.

It's been for almost two weeks since it rained last time.
Anyway, I stay at home today because of nothing special.

My husband stayed up late on his duty last night, so he started going to bed as sonn as he got home. He's been sleeping for four hours without lunch.

I need to be careful not awaking him, well, as a result, I can't do anything.
I should not make a noise.
I can't do dishes, and vacuum.

Is it too much for him?

I don't know, but I wish I give him a peaceful sleep.

Breakfas at Tiffany's

I'm watching a movie, "Breackfast at Tiffany's".

I've never watched it before, though it was very famous.
I know the title, but I didn't know about the story.
So I was very surprised that the movie had a scenery which was kind of Japanese.

Do you know that there was a Japanese man in the movie?
He might be not a Japanese, played a Japanese part?, but interesting!
His name was Yunioshi?
Hillarious!!
I've never heard of the name in Japan.

Almost of the Americans image Japanese like that.

I see

moon set again!

I got up at five this morning, because I wanted to see the scenery,
moon set, again.

The weather was nice, no clouds, and perfect clear sky!
Nothing interrupted it!

But I couldn't see it.

Because the time of moon set was later than yesterday.
The moon was still in the sky, and the sky was getting lighter.
As a result, the day broke, the moon was still in the sky and
the color of moon was getting lighter.

The scene wasn't as same as yesterday.

Yes, there is nothing which is the same one that used to be.

moon set

I got up at five this morning, because I had an appointment for a doctor before I went to work.
In fact, I didn't have to get up so early morning, but I had to do many things for my family.
I cooked for breakfast and lunch, organized some stuffs, made my face up, and got dressed.
I didn't have time to do Yoga:(

sad...

But I got something.
It was a moon set.
Almost a full moon was getting set above a mountain in western sky.
Beside, eastern sky was getting bright.
It was amazing. Beautiful!
I was able to see that.
Yeah!

Anyway I left home around seven, got on a subway. I got the hospital at 7:45.
I handed in the appointment card, then I went to a starbucks near the hospital
because of having spare time.

I could relax there, the coffee was a little bit expensive but nice.


I am going to go to a starbucks tomorrow to see my English teacher.
She was sick for last two weeks, so it has been almost three weeks since I met her last time.

I am looking forward to seeing her so much.
I have a lot of stories to tell her!!! I can't wait!

dating

I went shopping with my husband after I got off work today.
It could have been a dating? Maybe.

Anyway, my husband bought a pair of socks and a T-shirt.
Me? I didn't get anything, because the store was for only men.

After that, we went to a coffee shop. I bumped into my freind.

She works for the coffee shop.
She gave me a small cup of coffee. Great!
(Of course, we ordered some latte!)

I found a pretty mug cup, especially for Christmas.

I really loved it, so I bought the one.

There are many stuffs for Christmas everywhere in a town.
They all are sooooooooooooo lovely and cute!

I wish I could buy all of these!

I'm back.

I'm getting better, and maybe, I was able to get out of the bottom.

I had been depressed for almost a week.
One day a freind of mine left a commet on my site (neither here and My space).
I thought it was kind of criticizm to me.
She might have not meant it, but I thought that she criticized me.
She said that I was surpposed to be able to go to an university and go anywhere without money because she could do that. She couldn't totally understand why I didn't go. She thought I had many excuses with them.

So I had been looking back to my life, and thinking about myself since she did.

"Didn't I do that I was surpposed to be able to do that?"

And I found my answer.

"Yes, I did."
I couldn't go anywhere because of no money, and I was pretty busy because of having a job, family, and children. There is no doubt that I couldn't go.

I am not her, I am a different person with her, of course. I don't have to follow her.

That's my answer.
It took a week to find it. But it is worth because I was able to see myself deeply.

Hi

This is my first blog here, you know, and I'm very happy to meet you.
But I'm not feeling good now. Sorry!

I have many site with blogs, Myspace, mixi(Japanese SNS), facebook(not a blog), and Blogger.
I'm busy to manage those, so, I am not sure that I could write a blog often.

But I'm trying!
