My "anniversary"...

the 27th of March is marked as a very special day for me. this is the day I moved to the States in 1991, and i have been counting it yearly to celebrate how long i have been living in CA. After all these years, i came to the point of counting the years longer in CA than however long i was living in Japan. Funny things....as the years passed, my dreams i see at night were starting to change to all English (by prolly like the 2nd year of being in CA) and as i look back and think about my diaries, my books starting around my 6th grade(after i left ESL at 4th grade and went to the regular courses) were all written in Japanese.

So it wouldve been my 18th year.....wow....18 years. at least my years in the LA life is already doubled that of my "japanese residency". hee hee.

In honor of my USA life, i got myself "White Mocha" since i got homesick and thought of Becky.

(although the only thing i was able to get nearby was Starbucks...aaaaa i want Peets. haha)
Starting to see a bit of Cherry blossoms here and there but still coooold....

I count the days until I can be back in CA and live there for good......dreaming of this....

some other things i saw in my surroundings:
