bitter cucumber
August 25, 2005
I cooked a bitter cucumber with tofu and an eggplant which my dad made. My mom complained that I didn’t put meat in it. They ate it any way. I bought Lavazza (spell? who cares?) coffee ground yesterday and am drinking it with soy milk. normal normal morning…haha..
I hang out with Harumi, a friend of mine from highschool. I call her Haru chan. We had a lunch together and talked many things, family stuff, jobs, people, usual stuff. She is doing fine, and I felt good after I talked to her. The life here is not easy for us, women in our 30s, but the life is going on. She text messaged Kumi, another friend of mine from highschool and we sent her a picture of me…I need hair cut. ..anyhow, Kumi suggested that I should rent a weekly apt and get a temporary job while looking for a job, perhaps, teaching. That sounds awesome to me, because I already started feeling that I need to move. Don’t give me wrong, I love my parents, but it has been a while since I moved out here, so I feel like I don’t belong here. I should really do that, instead of worrying so much. Well, I just moved, so I need to rest a little and see my friends.
Today, I am going to see Kaori. We went to college together here in my home town. Aparently, I forgot to tell her what day I was coming home. When I called her, she was surprised. Since I started this blog, we email less often. I assume that she knows what is going on my life, and she said she felt like emailing each other by reading my blog. That is a trick.
The typhoon wasn’t bad at all in my home town, minor powerout, that seems it. But some areas were partially washed away..ouch… It is going to be hot today, weather forecast says…100 degree/ 30 degree.
I am very glad to know that Harper loves a new job and doing well. It was a tough summer for him and for me as well as far as career goes. Now he is doing well, and I hope that my turn is coming soon.
Water here tastes good, which I just found out…haha.. Japanese eggplant is so tender and yummy. bitter cucumber is very bitter, yet somehow tasty.
