catching up on lots of happenings...yup.

its been weird and i really do hate being back at my parents house. things are just not looking so good. i really do think its better for them to just reall come to terms and break it off. its just gonna keep dragging it forever, its just a bit ridiculous.

**KASHIMA JINGU cruising in Chiba: well, he was going out to the CHOUSHI area since he had a golf invite from his old friends. But since he hurt his leg a bit he just was gonna go over there and meet them up to sorta apologize in person for the cancelation. so i tagged along (getting a free ride instead of taking the train or nothing, haaa) and we went and checked out this shrine/temple.
look, its the whole entire mountain that is guarded by the Shinto spirit.
this ODANGO (dumplings) were hot off the fire and they were the size of a golf ball, as you can see the stick is as thick as chopsticks.....haaa! yum!

theres my dad standing in front of the Koi pond/Shrine-in-water.(?)

Kashima Jingu was sooo beautiful. its in the middle of the forest area and it just was sooo secluded and tranquil with nature's energy. must say....possibly the most gorgeous park sight ive ever seen. Sorta feels like Yosemite but has this weird Shinto-spirit serene feeling in the air. it was a nice quality time with my papa, we got to take a nice walk inside and we didnt have to get irritable at all the whole time. i actually dont mind the time with my dad, he as an individual is a very generous and GOOD PERSON. (things only get bad when theres the 3 of us together, with mom and him) rating: SMILES, GOOD TIMES.


had a nice cup of tea at HATEA (tea espresso shop) in EBISU with my good friend-mentor, Ms. Keiko-sama. talk about good cup of CHAI.


***Oh and LOOK, i FINALLY got to grab some coffee and chat with SHOKO!!! maaan, its been soo long, and its just nice we got to sit and chat like the good ol' days. she makes you smile and happy so much. thats the type of girl she is, im sure Lisa agrees on this. She is actually gonna go back to grad school in the fall to Boston, so i wanna make sure we get to hang out more after i get back from PV. but man! i wanna go to the US....well i guess ill just have to go visit boston now. Panther girls, yay!!!

im still sorta been going thru ups-and-downs.....the usual mood swings, ya know. but the constant annoyance and anxiety sure bums me out. gotta snap out of it. im almost back in PV....!!! woo hoo!!!
