update

Again, I have not logged on for sometime. I wish I could update this blog more regularly, but recently I just could not discipline myself to do it. -_-”. Why? For several reasons and one of them is the deterioration of my english language due to rare usage and simplified english words that I used to speak with the Japanese. My Japanese it yet fluent to be on par to converse with. That is why it is always easier to use simplified english. Another issue is my reluctance to update as some things are just too personal to be written on the public blog. Another issue could be the crazy work that has been going on for a couple months. Don’t get me wrong. I love the work and I am in fact a workaholic by nature. Errr… so, I love doing something. However, it comes with a price. TIME. Thus, the domino effect started.

Anyway, so what have I been doing this month or rather this year? Plenty. Work-wise, errrr totally busy. I was attached to this guy whom I can get along with. It is great. I like working with him and I learn many things too. He is a smart guy. Yeah… It is interesting that we can have interesting chitchat too. Just too unfortunate that he is happily married. Hehhehe…

So, how about the winter. Gosh, to me, it is terrible cold. I am practically preferred to be hybernating. But not that bad. Yokohama has relatively higher temperature than other parts of Japan. I wonder why. Is it because the geographical location or merely population issue. Errr,  a little too unscientific, dont you think. Winter is definitely ending, strong spring wind has been blowing. Gosh. I nearly fly. Anyway, it is really good that temperature has gradually warmer. wow.. great.

As for weekend, I have been going out to nearby places, mostly tokyo. Btw, i did dyed my hair for the first time. Hahhaha… so hippy now. I also did some winter shopping this month and last month. Errr… no wonder my money is draining pretty fast.

Last week, my friends and I went to Odawara to watch plum blossom. =).. It was a 1-day trip. We went with our japanese colleague, so they were driving there. It was nice to be in the car. I have not been in the car for many months. I am only taking trains, buses or simply walk. -_-”. We also went to visit the gonjon, or a samurai house in the vicinity. Our colleague explained the japanese history to me. Err.. somehow I was the only one who is interested in this kind of general knowledge. :P yeah. I love to know new things.

I have also made a resolution to update this blog more regularly, at least twice a week. =) I hope i can keep this self-made promise. Oh ya, as for japanese. it has been pretty bad. I have no time to study and to use it. I am soooooooo upset. yeah.. it is not easy. I guess the thing about language is time and practice. -_-”…

ok, that’s all..

a quick update again??

well, what happens? This site has been negelected for a month or perhaps more. Sigh.. sigh.. why? I don’t know. It is just the utter laziness and I don’t see the point of writing anything. As for things that happened lately, it is plenty. I can’t even figure out. But I guess, these are not things to be written in public. =)

 Anyway, I still have to write something regularly as my english capability has been terribly shrinking due to uselessness. aarrggghhh… how bad can it be? my english is deproving and my japenese is not improving. gosh… i am really not happy about this.

Errr as for work. This year is really really busy. I have been working a little too hard and going back later and later. However, no matter how late I went back, it is still early for japanese standard or my company rather. Everyone in the office is working hard or perhaps staying as late as possible? not sure which one. But for me, it is totally draining. I learn a lot in return though, so perhaps it is about give and take. Nothing is free.

So, what happens during weekend. Well, I have been going out and do a little shopping. hehhee. Yeah, I guess shopping is a must in Japan. I met a new friend recently and whenever we are free, we meet up on saturday. She is interesting and we can connect really well. =). Well, having her as a friend is really a blessing especially in Japan where I dont know anyone. I met a few other friends who make me feel really blessed too. =). Life is ok so far. It is jsut the business that starts to get on my nerve. Nowadays, I hardly online during weekdays. yeah, can you believe it?

Well, winter is over soon. Winter is really cold. Btw, it snowed twice here, yeah at yokohama. It was a beautiful site when the snow is pouring like rain. hehehe. Unfortunately I didnt bring my camera at the time. yeah, can you believe it? i guess I have lost all interest in taking pictures.

Anyway, spring is coming and I am looking forward to the flower blossoms here. =). Yeah, japan is indeed a beautiful place.
