Hiromi Usagi!

I really want to buy a cell phone. People think I am insane without my own cell. My mom is actually using it, so she doesn’t let me use it sometimes, hahaha. It is just not convenient, and I wonder how the world worked before cell phones. Anyhow, I really need it to find a job!! I am sometimes superstisious and saw a tv program showing lucky and unlucky persons today (blood type things!) I have type AB, which is sort of rare in Japan. Once I was the only type AB person in my class in highschool, haha… The program said that type AB persons should do important shopping today….so I decided not to do today, haha…but I will tomorrow for sure.

I am going to have my hair cut at my friend’s husband’ place. This is going to be my first haircut since I came back, so I am pretty excited!! I will keep my hair long since I have gotten many compliments. Thanks to Marcia. She convinced me to keep my hair long whenever I said that I wanted to have my hair short again. I believed that long hair didn’t look good on me, but I changed my mind. I like it long now.

I need to revise my resume to bring it to the orientation at an English language school. It would be nice to have a job and a place to live in tokyo soon. Kaori is having a hard time accepting that I am moving again…it is not too far, and I am sure I come home often. She will have a place to stay in Tokyo, so it won’t be too bad, right? Many people around her are moving, so it is understandable.

I hang out with her today. We had a lunch and a long tea/coffee time and a dinner today. one whole day!! It was fun as usual. At DOux cafe, I ran into my ex-coworker who started working with me in the tv and radio stations at the same year! Apparently, several or more? of the same year co-workers (people who started working at the same company at the same time, we call it Doh-ki) get together once a while, and I am very excited to see them again, because it has been 6 years! They have been working there for 10 years now! I would be in the same situation if I didn’t quit the job. Shiho-chan, the owner of the cafe, told me that it has been a while since he came in last tiem, so it was a nice surprise for all of us. Yamanashi is not a big place, but what a surprise! We were exchanging our contact info, and he was like “I can’t belive that I am writing down these!” because I don’t have a cell phone, hahaha… He went back to work around 7 pm, and that reminded me of those days when I worked a lot. The cafe is an amazing place by itself, and on top of that, there are so much good energy flowing in and out. I am sure it is because Shiho-chan has a great energy and good intentions. I feel lucky to get to know her and this cafe.

Harper said that he really want to visit me in Japan! I am very excited!! I really hope he can. I hope that I will have my own place in tokyo by then, or I might be living in a weekly apartment until I find a decent place. Either way, I will be in tokyo for sure. I am visiting my friend, Aki, in tokyo on Monday, so I will ask her about living situation over there. My highschool friend, Kumi has been living in Tokyo for a long time, so she must know pretty good about it. I am excited about living in Tokyo. I am a little bit worried, but at the same time excited…good feelings..

I went to an Indian restaurant for dinner with Kaori. She was worried that the restaurant wouldn’t have anything that I can eat, but they did have several vege menues and fish/seafood menus, so i had potato and green pea curry with a Nan. delicious!! I love curry. The restaurant has been running a business for a long time, and the chefs are Indian…an excellent curry place!

it was a nice day indeed…
