nothing has changed....so natural

IM HOME!!!!!!!!!

yes, PV, CALI, my home. (May 5th, 2009 11AM)

the weather and the temperature has been pleasant, the blue sky is the same amazing comfort.

i finally got some time to update my blog. seems like from the second we landed ive been running around taking care of needed errands and getting back into the "at-home"-ness. It is just great!! nothing really has changed, all the streets and the places are all the same to me. I feel no inconvenience to whatsoever, the language around me is ALL ENGLISH, the radio is in English, the signs, people on the streets....and driving my car the same usual way and cant believe i havent been driven in like half a year.

the first thing was... yes, i stopped to go to Trader Joe's to get some groceries. then on this trip i actually didnt go get coffee until the 3rd day but then i went and got myself Golden Spoon the afternoon of. what is just nice is i turn the TV on and its the same comforting sound of English conversations....aaah, im feeling peaceful and great. and of course, after got some stuff settled and enjoying my own room and space after being away from it so long, i called Becky. the fu nny thing is that when we catch up on the phone, even if its been like forever, it always feels like ive never been away. thats prolly because what we have is so special. (thanx Beck and marc!)

here is Golden Spoon USA size. compared to japan version...only $3.25
...so okay had some stuff to do like our car insurance, house related stuff to do so taking it early from 7AM the next morning on, i went with mom to take care of DMV stuff and such. although i wasnt able to see Becky till Thursday for GAME NIGHT, i just gotta say, MAAAAN, ITS SO GOOD TO BE HOME....!!!

(i get to see Tim, Lisa, Marc!)

Oh, and also i was on the United Airlines coming back to PV, i got to see their new 180degree luxury seats on Business class. Daaayaamn. i actually watched all the movies i have not seen yet. this is my usual deal on plane trips: i kill time by awtching all the films. hey, 9 hour flite, 2 hour per movie. i watched Benjamin Button, Bride wars, marley&me...to name a few. not too shabby. and i felt good about not having to have seen these in japan paying 18bux per movie. haaa.

And since i brought back Justin's stuff with me, when he landed on may 7th, he stopped by right after! so i guess the very first friend i got to see was Justin, although i saw him in Japan. haha, even when he was in japan for about 4 months and lived only about 7 min train ride away from me, i feel like ill be able to see him more in the states. funny thing. oh so it turns out he took the same exact flite as mine on United Air. if i had left on the 7th, we'd been taking the same plan back.

well well, ill post some photos later, but the Swine Flu seems like not being mentioned at all here in the states. it looks only as if its a joke moreso in japan. no one is going crazy here. haaa.

CHEERS!!!!!!!

nothing has really changed in my neighborhood....nice morning walk.
