Happy post-thanksgiving, everyone!

During this time of the year (I am talking about Thanksgiving or Christmas), we all figure out whom we spend time together besides our family members...what happens if our family is not even around? This is a tricky part because I've encountered this issue many times. I've been so lucky to have good friends around me and I feel so grateful about it. Thank YOU to all my sweet girlfriends who have been looking after me!

Being homesick...

自分を育ててくれたおばあちゃんのお葬式に行けなかった。おじいちゃんのお葬式には一日遅れで着いた。遠くに住んでるってすごいわがままなことをしているんだなとつくづく思う。家族のみんな、わがままばかりしててごめんなさい。今日はおばあちゃんの特別な日だったから、ちょっとホームシックになってしまった。

Last few months...

It's been for awhile since I wrote my blog. During our holiday seasons in Nov. and Dec., there're so many events to catch up and time flied so fast.

I visited Japan in Jan. and spent whole one week with my parents. It was awesome! We saw sumo at Ryogokukan, Tokyo. Wow, they're super cool. They are fat guys. It may sound crazy but I found them very sexy in a way. I would love to see them again!

Well, Valentine's Day came again and I fell down accidentally. My front tooth chipped and my lower lip cut which needed stitches! It was disaster. It still hurts and doesn't look pretty. I cannot open my month easily and cannot laugh like crazy as I used to do. So I've been acting like so anti-social for the past month. I will be okay, I am fine, I look fine...I am talking to myself everyday.

Oh well well, it's life, I guess.

Now I've started working on my new paintings - stay tuned!
