FURUSATO MATSURI, ...Latin American Parties, ...festivities~


such a sucker for anything 'regional' or 'FURUSATO Bussan shops'.

BORO-ichi (Jan. 15th) what an amazing 433years worth historical event. =D


Been a bit busy where i realized i have not had a decent 'one FULL DAY OFF' or i really need the 2-day off weekend feel and the time has been passing by too quickly. it is already half way done with the first month of 2011. Damn but i gotta say, things been great.
good. busy but 'good' busy. and been super productive and fullfilling.

HAPPY NEW YEARS 2011!!!

★☆★1-1-11....lets just say it couldn’t have been better than THIS.
(right after midnite, we foreigners DID scream&shout!)

Realizing that the very best things in life really are the ones sort of unexpected happenings, warmth of great peers, and just amazing laughters. It was full of smiles, and thanks to everyone how has enriched my days from the year 2010. I cannot wait for more great splendid excursions to come for the brand new year. I am more than grateful. so thankful for all the meetings i encounter with each individuals. Amazing way to wait for the countdown and welcome the brand new year. For the first time since ive been i japan, i was out and about, not worrying about the train, out with great people, being 'myself'(in English) and just had the natural amazing pure bliss.




★☆★I am so thankful. ★☆★

and also had an amazing comment made from a friend of mine:
"理恵子ちゃん、どんなにうまくいっていないときでも、

理恵子ち
ゃんは理恵子ちゃんの価値があって、今いる所にあなたが生きている意味があるのよ。だから自信をもって。理恵子ちゃんがいることで、
リーフカップに来て喜びを得ている人たちがいるのだから。"
Translation:"Rieko, even when you have your bad days (or feeling down and your lowest), there is a reason for your presence now and that you are worth a great deal to others/everywhere. So have confidence. There're people at leafcup who appreciates your presence by coming into the cafe and just seeing you there."
