a lot of stuffs been going on here. been some what busy...maan.
well, April was a busy month i mite say, just stuff to take care of and knowing that ill be going back to PV in May-June, wanted to get some stuff done and organized.
time sure is flying by fast! i cant believe my eyes its almost May already. i think i will list up some of the excursions of the month. yay, here we go.....

APRIL 9, 2009: DAICHAN
I got to go out to lunch and have a day out with justin! we even got the chance to stop by my brother's rstauraut in Shinbashi, TATSUNO OTOSHIGO. I was just too happy to see him and very proud to see other ppl eating at his place and i just wanted to be like, "hey thats my Brother, the chef!!" and i know i dont normally eat too much meat but it was pork hamburger patty which my brother kneeds the meat and makes daily so i wanted to try their "Black Sesame Pork Burger steak plate". Since i LOOOVE black sesame, it was GREAT.

my lunch set 800yen (top) ; Justin's "real meat(as he would call it)" Cheese Hamburger Patty lunch set 900yen (bottom)

there he is, my bro. hidden snapshop taken by Justin. nice.
a nice group shot of us 3. THANX!!

man, i look soo excited.
im sure i was overwhelmed with just this happiness that it tasted like the bestest patty ever! but the sesame made it more savory and not at all fatty. Justin had my brother's "true meat" (as he mite say) "Cheese hamburger steak". I just felt so honored that even the waiters there were so kind to us and my brother introduced me as "my sister". it was just awesome how i got to introduce justin to my brother and i got the chance to have my brother see "my LA part/american life" aspect. I wanted to be a part of my life in PV.

then we took a nice walk around Tokyo and sat and chatted over coffee. the usual thing but we got to spend way more time than we normally were able to, so i know its finals for Justin, but I was super appreciative of him hangin out with him. man, i cant believe he is almost done with his study-abroad and is going back to LA soon....awww.

well i have been able to go out to nice walks in the city and keeping busy with job searches and such. but its been great, ive found nice walking areas in myneighborhood and i would easily walk for about 2 hours.

Fun and peaceful:

* APRIL 12 : Kamakura with Yamada-san - this was awesome, we found such nice walking route in Kamakura with the help of her co-worker man ho lives out there. He showed us to the very secluded quiet hiking course where not that many tourists visit, so it was just a peaceful place.

i just loved these walk ways, so great.

this lunch set we had was soo yummy, fish was good and look, it was more than enough! all these is just for 1 person! and only 700yen!! very super healthy and japanese. =)

* APRIL 24 : Walking with Ms. Keiko-sama and Makino-san in the NAKAI area. the local nice peaceful area.

=) it turned out to be a cold day but it was a nice walk. =)

i will have a bit more to comment on this month, so ill do another post later. ciao.
**its Makiko's 1 year wedding anniversary and 27th Birthday! double cheers!!　おめでとう。
