moon holding hands with stars

2009-08-18T08:09:00.000-07:00

my friend who went to same kindergarden and elementary school with me sent me an email yesterday and told me that our teacher, kaoru sensei from kindergarden passed away beginning of this month....

she was the sweetest teacher ever and even though i was so young when i had her as a teacher, i have so many memories about her.

i got to see her about 3 years ago, when she came out to my dad's photo exhibition and she wrote to me shortly after to tell me that she is getting married.

i meant to write her back, but i thought i had lost the letter somewhere in my house and didn't try hard enough to look for it and write her back.

i really wanted to congratulate her on her marriage, but didn't get a chance to.....

i wish i had a chance to tell her how happy i am for her!

here is one of favorite stories she told me when i was young***

she once told me that the stars that are shining close to the moon are holding hands with the moon.

i really really really love this story and i will never forget it*

i made this water color painting for her thinking about her.

everyone, don't forget to tell someone you care about that they mean a lot to you and that you love them!

August 16th: possibly the best sunday ever!

2009-08-18T07:55:00.001-07:00

we made grilled veggies and hummus for dinner and ate out on the porch!

yummy frosting the lemon cup cakes :)

of course, samantha gets to join us for dinner*

yummmmmmm

decorating cup cakes

these came out very delicious!

and this is what happens to your tummy when you eat too much good food...

16th was possibly the best sunday ever!

very relaxing and so much fun, i wish everyday was like this :)

went to central park in the morning, made jewelries out of flowers and clovers with yummy!

and then, went to rachel's house and cooked dinner together!

cute cat samantha, yummy food, good friends, nice porch, etc.

had such an amazing day!

i forgot that i was in ny and i was able to slow down and just enjoy the sunny sunday*

thank you rachel for inviting us to your house :)

it was so much fun*

i couldn't fall asleep one night, so i was looking at the sky and there was

a huge cloud floating over buildings and it looked like it had eyes and mouth.

note to myself

2009-08-09T19:30:00.000-07:00

i've been thinking about a lot of things these days.

like how where you live have huge impact on who you are.

when i first came to new york, i told myself, don't let new york take over me, especially who i am as a person.

i hate to admit this, but i have changed so much since i moved here, both in a good way and a bad way...

i'm a kind of person who cannot throw anything away, even old magazines i got about 5 years ago.

once in a while, i will take them out of my book shelf and re-read them.

so, the other day, i remembered this article in a japanese magazine (it's a magazine about slow life, i would say)

that i really wanted to read again.

so i took it out of my book shelf and read it.

it's an interview of this grandma who is 70 years old and she is living in the mountain in kyoto.

her posture is really good and she hasn't got sick in years!

she is healthier than most of the younger people these days.

she does not really buy food from stores because she grows all kinds of vegetables herself.

she was talking about how if you only eat food that are organic and natural (that means no meat or daily product)

you obviously get sick less.

she says that being healthy is natural and getting sick is unnatural.

what you eat is who you are.

this was a real wake up call for me.

when i'm stressed out, i crave junk food even though i know it makes me more tired, stressed out, and grumpy.

so, i have decided that for about a month from now, i will try to eat right.

i will try not to eat meat, but eat sea food instead maybe and eat lots of veggies and fruits.

i love new york, but this place makes me go crazy sometimes and i am not very happy with who i am or where i am right now....

so, i want to be clean, healthy, and confident from inside of my body.

i want to try to wake up by 9:00 or 9:30 regardless to what time i go to bed.

i want to read more books.

i want to walk around more rather than taking subway.

i want to eat more veggies and fruits, not meat.

i want to look at things differently.

i want to be happy with who i am and where i am right now.

i want to appreciate what i have, instead of wanting more and more.

i want to be kind to people.

i want to make new friends.

i want to write more letters to people i love.

i know everything in ny is moving so quickly, but i want to try to do things in my own pace and try not to get swallowed by the bad energy in new york.

(but get swallowed by good energy in ny!)

i love new york, but i need to learn how to digest things and take everything slow.

i think when i can be satisfied with myself, i can understand other people better and be happy with what i have.

this is just a note to myself, so i don't forget how i feel right now.....

doesn't it look like a heart shape?

back cover of the sketchbook i made

and this is the front cover

i've been eating a lot of vegetables and trying not to eat meat, but eat sea food instead.

i made a new sketch book*

i was trying to boil vegetables and the hot water hit my arm, i burnt myself a little.

but where i got hurt looks like heart shape!

it's like i got a temporary tattoo!

新しいスケッチブックを作った☆

今日は野菜を茹でようとしてたら、熱いお湯が腕に飛んで来てちょっとやけどをしちゃった。

でも、やけどの後が♥の形になった！

短い間だけ、タトゥーになりそうです。

yeay! my sister is back from japan :)

i went to my old neighborhood in fort green, brooklyn!

walked around a little, got mango smoothie, and went to a park.

sat on the grass and relaxed for a little bit**

then i walked by my old house and went back to the house i live in now.

at night, my friend came to my house with a dress she got for me.

i cooked fish, boiled veggies, rice, and miso soup for dinner and we ate dinner together!

おねーちゃんが、日本から帰って来た〜☆☆

今日は、ブルックリンのフォートグリーンってエリア（大学１年生の時に住んでた所）

へ遊びに行った♪

で、少しブラブラして、マンゴスムージーを買って公園へ。

１時間位ゆっくり座って、のんびり。

その後は、前に住んでた家の前を通りかかって帰りました！

で、友達が私の為に買って来てくれたドレスをもって

家まで遊びに来てくれて、夕飯に魚とゆでた野菜とご飯とお味噌汁を作って

みんなで食べた♪
