CANT BELIEVE IT...thank you!

was not expecting ANYTHING this year for my birthday, cuz i was just happy having to work at Leafcup today and being there to greet and help others
....but cannot believe how AMAZING my today was....and i have never felt this grateful and thankful to be alive today, on THIS DAY, HERE.(japan)

and thank you to everyone who are just more than what i can ever come nearly close to thanking and i honestly do not deserve all of you~


....working the whole day at leafcup, got surprised with two cakes(and not to mention yummy japanese ones....love love love) ....having people wish me 'happy birthday' vocally and getting hugs....more than thankful.



i truly have never felt more alive and appreciative for my life, today being here,... thank you.

starting off with a 'good hair' day turned out to be more than what i can ever imagined.
i am more than grateful. im now 28...wow!(hope im a bit wiser)

some photos for the current days.

photos, yay~!!

autumn weather, welcome!!!

one word for today: あっぱれ！♬

it was crazy thunder-rain in the AM and then in the afternoon, it was nice and sunny with the right temperature, just right. aaa i love the autumn season and soo happy that i get to wear my beanies and scarves and such now!!! i love fall fashion! and i also love the autumn foliage in japan.
i think this is one thing i appreciate about Japan.

And its soo weird that its already been a year since I was back in LA last september doing all the wedding showers and planning. So its like the first in like 2 years that im here in Japan during the month of September to November. (2008 and 2009, both i was back in LA during this time of the year).

Things been reaaaaaaally good. lots of new events, new meetings, new adventures so-to-speak. been super busy BUT overall AWESOME.

today i felt a bit like i was in and out of a coma cuz i was awake from 6AM (after sleeping around 3AM the nite before) and i was awake but then my body would not let me go about the apartment and i was sorta needing to take power naps here and there. And it was like in 1-hour intervals and i was sleeping, passing out on the couch....wrapped up in my blanket.
and the fact that the weather has DRASTICALLY changed in just one day, it is a bit chilly today and i realized that i have been working non-stop for the last 10days straight...! wow, didnt even occur to me that i was not restig this much. so yea, today i kinda got the fatigue take over me and caught up with me. hahaha.

Lots of fun and exciting stuff in the september~:

man.....days are super full---

aaaaa my days are pretty busy lately but i gotta say its a thrill. or shall i say 'one heck of a roller coaster ride'....!!!! i feel like i havent really slept but its all for good ness of my heart. I feel fullfilled and doing stuff that im best at, communicating and being myself and open and honest.

I mean, i got nothing to hide, im an "open-book".
but been working lots and realized that i have gone the last 2 weeks without a day off. One full day off.....hmmm...either it being at leafcup, Ks, or working on my design, translation, , i have something and i feel like i havent been at my apartment, haa.


but all in all good. I started doing some teaching for the group lessons, well, just doing a sub for Andy.
And i was very very nervous but it turned really good.

AFFIRMATIVE...!!!!!

im sooo going back to Cali cali DEFINITELY this time, booked＆confirmed... DONE!
