Bawling like crazy - OBAMA!!!

i was glad i got to watch and hear the speech reporting live from chicago even in japan from our next president, plus the very first african american President, Obama. And my gosh, it was amazing.

These days...here and there



im back at my parents house now and using the internet. As i was going over the internet cafe 2 stations over from my apartment, I kept forgetting to update my blog. I always tend to forget to post as i leave the cafe, so anywho.

Its already November....man. The last few weeks since I was back from my traveling, well, lets just say i was trying to "rejuvenate" or "recooperating"(?) . For some odd reason felt like all the exhaust and the fatigue all of a sudden just caught up with me. At least Japan doesn't feel that cold after coming from Canada. And also, Japan right now seems to be the very best of the season. Its AUTUMN. Nice and good temperature. Not humid or crazy with mosquitos. No sir.

Its very pleasant. The leaves are changing colors. It almost can be a bit too chilly but its good.
I started getting back in my jogging routine again so i feel refreshed from being back "home" i think. Good deal.

Just 2 night ago, for the first time in 11 years or so the SAKAI family, all 5 of us got together....!!! it was one of my longest dreams to get another photo of all of us in our house and this came true.

I hope my oldest bro's wife can send me more photos of us which she took on her digital camera.
Its weird, I wanted to do the same photo in the same room(kithcen) we are there....!
