It’s always exciting to be in a new place especially when it’s a long awaited vacation. Sure nothing could ever top the 2013 Japan trip with Hiroshi (although the 2012 road trip was pretty awesome) but it’s always nice going to new places together. Well, it’s new to me since I’ve never been there and have always been curious. This year’s summer ( Read more... )

It’s been three weeks now since my surgery and recovery has its ups and downs. There were days when I got things done and want to do more while other times I just feel like curling into a ball in a cave. One thing for sure is that I want to back in my old self again. Perhaps even go back to my daily jogs. That's something to look forward to.

As you can see I’m still alive from yesterday’s surgery so that’s good. I woke up early in the morning to take a shower even though I already took a shower the night before just because. I got a couple of texts from my sisters and my brother-in-law assuring me everything will be fine. Since my mom and Annabeth were going to show up around 11am, I ( Read more... )

Lots of things have been going on since last week. It all started last Tuesday when I woke up at 6am in the morning with really bad cramps. At first I thought I was constipated so I took some meds for it. When it continued for a while, I decided to take ibuprofen. I went to work and OMG, it got worst and had to go home after being there for 30 ( Read more... )

November 15, 2013Last night was so unbelievable that I woke up with a big smile on my face. I changed to my samue and went outside to greet Fujisan. It was still being a little shy by hiding behind the clouds but man the view was sure nice. I’ve always wanted to wake up in the morning and look outside to see a view of a lake or a mountain. Maybe in ( Read more... )

It was already the sixth day and I feel a bit sad that we’re heading back inland towards Tokyo. We weren’t going to Tokyo yet, but going in that direction means we’re getting closer to the end of the trip. I still wanted to explore the rural parts of Japan.

November 12, 2013It was another cloudy morning but thanks to a delicious dinner, lots of snacks, a long hot bath, and a really good sleep (didn’t have to wake up early), we were very well recovered from the busy Day 3. Seriously, I slept like the dead. This was our last day in Kyoto meaning we had to take everything with us and check out of the ( Read more... )
