Did stupid thing.
Lost my bicycle's key. I noticed when I finished work and came out from the building.
I looked around for a while though couldn't find it.
Uggggh!
luckily, my father was home and he drove his company's truck home as well, so he picked me and my bike up.
I have the spare key as well, so I can take my bike no problem from tomorrow.
Though I don't like the idea I lose something.
Riding my bike the other day.

Different faces...
Different sizes...
It's Takamatsu's traditional handy craft. Made by paper.
It keeps you stay away from bad lucks.
Someone told me I do look like her. haha

I'm crazy about this guy.
Went to see Haru and Mihoko.
He's so cute.
Today is pretty cool. Seems like it'll only go up to 19 or 20 degrees.
Last week, it was over 25 and one day it was 30.9 degrees high.
I've been feeling not great. Maybe I'm getting sick. Sneezing and shivering.
Couldn't sleep much last night. Well, I know he would say "You are always awake!" But last night was different. I've waken up feeling cold. Gathered blanket around me, holding another blanket.
Hope I wouldn't get really sick.
Only 7 days to go till my vacation.
Well, today's weather would be a good practice for me. Seems like either Toronto or Montreal will have more than 20 degrees weather...

I'm busy playing with my clothes.
Playing... er packing...
Packing... er getting the idea how much I will bring.
So I'm busy tonight, can't talk here much.
Have a good day/night everybody.

Suppose to be rain storm tonight...

Whenever I have two days off, lately I go out for one day and another day I just sleep whole day.
Today was the day.
I went to bed pretty late and I woke up around 7am. I chatted with him for a while. Read. Had lunch. Then I went back to sleep. He came home, I woke up. Talked little bit. Again, I went to sleep.
Here I am, around 5:00pm.
One of the things I told him today,
"It would be great if I can save up my sleep time and use them to stay up late some other time."
haha
Parents came home late last night. It even snowed though they had a good time.
Here, greens and flowers.

I went to grocery shopping. And bought Diet Coke. I think I mentioned that I don't drink much pop before. No, I don't drink pop much still, it's just because of this.
Goemon Ishikawa. He's so cool.
I went to the park. Seems like I go there once in two weeks. Could be more often.
(Baby! You could've joined us today. hehe Sorry I missed your message.)
In the park, it's just soooo green. Beautiful.
New greens. Plums (Japanese apricot) are cute.
Small pinecones and pine needles.

I should've remembered that at this length my hair don't stay straight. Touching my shoulders and not long enough to stay on my back.
We were busy chatting. Maybe that's why too?! haha
I've been going there since I was in high school.
I got an email from my friend who has my Fido phone. She told me my phone seems broken. So I told her not to worry about it.
I was thinking to re-activate it when I go to Toronto next month. But now I will think some other plans.
I can rent cell phone. (I don't like Motorola phone though.) Or I can just buy Fido pre-paid phone again.
Or... do I even need it?

Too bad my parents had rainy day in Hokkaido. My mom's new pair of Clarks got wet, oh well.
Was slow at work. So was thinking what to bring for my trip again.
I bought an insurance too. So I'm really ready.
Oh wait... I need to pack still. I probably won't do it till day before... only few things I really need to bring. so I'm not worried about forgetting something. I know where to buy what. well, at least in Toronto.
I've been thinking how can I go all restaurants I love. I only have 3 breakfast, 3 lunch and 3 dinner. Could be 3 brunch and 3 dinner... I will try. hehe
Had a bagel sandwich for dinner... green curried chicken with potato in it... yum yum.

Got a haircut.
I don't have any good pics of new style at the moment. I lent my digital camera to my parents. They are going to Hokkaido. Woo hoo! My dad is now half retired. So my parents decided to celebrate it and going for a trip.
Anyways...
Me earlier today and me tonight.
Another sandal weather.
Another favourite. Birkenstock Florida.
Today, I finally finished dealing with JTB. I am so happy.
So I'm ready to go.
I also got some extra cash (C$) from someone. (Thank you, wishing you happiness always.)
Got a haircut. Got a massage.
And got this.

I don't really feel well.
I was okay earlier though. Went to pilatis class. Didn't like it much, so I don't think I will take more classes.
But it was interesting.
I just feel tired and not good right now.
Maybe I would feel better when I talk to him tonight before I go to bed.
Today is Kokuu (穀雨). It's one of 24 seasons. (二十四節気)
Kokuu season's rain helps plants to grow.
穀 means Grain. 雨 means Rain. Rain for the grains.

I was taking my bike back home tonight. (as usual) It's brighter now.
Colour of the sky is between blue and dark purple. Amazing.
I wish I can take picture of the sky... I need a better camera and need better skills.
Pic I took the other day.
New Green.
It didn't look like Moss green.
Charlie! I used to read his blog "Japaneze"...

Hot day. But I mostly stayed in my office, so I didn't really noticed.
I've been thinking which clothes to bring. I mean thinking about my trip to Canada. I am not planning to bring many clothes since I will definitely buy some stuff there. Already made some plan going shopping. And I know exactly where I will be... well, at least some places. Thinking what to buy for my friend's kids too... (hope I won't forget anyone... getting quite many every year.) Can't wait to shop in Montreal. Last time I was there I didn't have any money. Can't remember if I bought anything. So shopping in Montreal will be new to me! (can't wait! where should we go? or I should say where will you take me?!) Can't remember what I ate either, means I didn't eat much I guess.
Oh well, I like to plan things. And I have loooots of time to think... at work. (very slow lately)
I will think what to buy tomorrow at work. I already know I wanna have a new pair of jeans. Shoes... hmmm, shoes. Actually I like to buy shoes in Japan. (well, sure Nine West would be cheap there... that would be nice)
I should stop now. I already heard some people's yawns.

Over 27 degrees, I decided to put on my favourite pair of Birkenstocks.
And this is how I go out in the hot afternoon.
Oh and I got new teeth.
wow, ugly pic.
This is the picture I was talking about the other day...
Update, pic has been removed... too bad.
I'm going to see the show I mentioned yesterday.
Thank you very much for my great friend Carol. (She's getting a ticket for me.) I felt funny that we still have same taste of music after all those years... last time we went for a show was Sleater-Kinney sometime early last year at The Opera House.
This time, Horseshoe Tavern. Can't remember how many bands and musicians I've seen here...
Can't wait to see him.
Sondre Lerche.
Btw, does anyone know about him/his music? Seems like either my friends or Carol's friends know about him.
Haha.

But...
what a heck are they thinking????????
At one of my favourite venues.
Sometime I just don't feel like keep reading some books. Seems like my new book is one of them. It's not like it's boring. Actually it's fun. It's just about my mood. I'm not in a mood to read that book. So I will look for other books. Oh well, there're three brand new books staring at me from top of my bookshelf... I really wanna read a book which I left at my ex's. Maybe I should buy that again.

One of my friends quit her job today.
One of my colleagues will quit her job in next month.
One of my favourite authors (when I was in school) passed away in this week. (via Mayumix)

My body hurts all over.
Because of what I did today.
I woke up around 9:30am and read a bit. Fell sleep again.
Got up at noon. Had a lunch.
Went back to bed around 1pm. Read about 3 pages.
Fell sleep again.
Got up... at 6:30pm.
And here I am. Ready for bed.
Should stay up for a while I guess.
I made some people surprised the other day. It's my post about the travel agent. I made him surprised because of my language. Now he's worried. Maybe I should call the agent and make sure she really booked my flights.

Haru is my friend Mihoko's son. I should visit them sometime in this month... will arrange that soon.

To heaven.
And...
To hell.
Usually I would go to the dentist first and later I would get massage, but today was opposite. I had a massage first, had lunch and...
Needed to relax...
I went to a small shrine which I park my bike when I go to the dentist. I spent sometime there just looking at those trees (which I posted earlier).
Visit to the dentist wasn't too bad. One more visit to go and next time no drilling. No drilling today either.
I will just enjoy rest of this gorgeous day.
Maybe read...
Degrees at this moment in Takamatsu. Wow.
Gorgeous day. Actually little bit too hot for me... I had to take my bike out today. So I think I've already gotten sun tan.

Super slow at work this weekend. Weird.
So I had lots of time to daydream.
And I noticed one thing.
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM MY FUCKING TRAVEL AGENT FOR LONG TIME.
I paid some for my tickets sometime in last month. I suppose to pay the rest by April 20th.
But, I still dunno which ticket plan I'm gonna take. I don't know about airport tax etc etc.
I was looking at the calendar. 20th is Tuesday. So if she calls me on Monday 19th, when should I go to a bank to get money? I will be working till 8 or so that day. Same thing, even if she calls me on Saturday 17th. (yeah, I don't want to pay any extra fee to withdrew my money.)
So...
SHE MUST CALL ME IN THIS WEEK OR...
I will make her miserable.
Geez, some of you probably know it's pretty hard to make me very upset or angry.
But I was upset about FUCKING JTB and very very very angry. (read my old posts somewhere in March, I don't wanna look for them.)
And I WILL BE UPSET AND ANGRY if same thing happens again.
Saturday, April 10, 2004
The book I've been reading during my lunch break. And try not to touch the book at home. (cuz I read pretty fast. I also try not to buy so many books in a month.)
actually I read it in Japanese. Yeah, cheating. hehe
hey, Steven Soderbergh is going to make the movie of this book???

I had a dream this morning.
I was on a ship. And planning to meet him there.
I saw him talking to his friend. So I decided to wait for him on the deck.
Then, huge wave swept me away! But, it was an attraction on the ship.
I was standing on the deck.
I saw him, he saw me.
I woke up.
He found out about this blog.

Done done done!
I wasn't planning to bake both cookies and scones. But what a heck. Wish I didn't put so much raisins in my oatmeal raisin cookies. I wanted to finish raisins from old package and use new one for the scones... hehe. Since my friend don't like raisins, I also baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I like baking scones more than cookies though.
I just got a great picture of my lovely friend S. But I must ask him first if I can put it on this blog.
It's.... pretty personal and... funny.
Girls would love it... and he's cute!
He's going home tomorrow so I will talk to him sometime in next week I think. I wonder there would be still lots of snow in S's hometown in Manitoba...
Snowed in Montreal recently. Oh well, in May everything will be great I hope.
Wednesday, April 07, 2004
Well, when I was taking my bike home. It started to rain. My clothes and bag were wet alright.
At least I knew it's gonna be rain tonight... just wished it waited 10 more mins.
Anyways, tomorrow is day off. (yeah yeah, again I know, but I'm working during the weekends.)
Thinking to bake something. Haven't done that for long time. It doesn't matter whatever I'm gonna make. I need to get butter tomorrow. I only bake two things. Cookies or Scones. (or Tea Biscuits... whatever you call it) Bread... oh well, one of these days...

This would be the last time I upload some cherry blossom pics in this year.
Gorgeous day.
