I miss you...

Yes, I do miss him..a lot. Since I met him last October, he's seemed a lot like my first baby...
I'm sorry I can't be with you now... We played a lot at the parking lot, we sometimes went to the dark forest, we even played a lot inside the house.. I think I started to miss him a lot again. Last time I saw him was last December...he was too shy to go out with other people. They were also really cool people.
What made me miss him a lot was Andy's (host dad) cap that he bought in Cuba. Cuba is a communism country, you know, like Russia.



Russia..


Russia...


Russia....







All I could think about was him....☆




☆AK-47★

I really wish I could have held AK.....



HAHAHAHAHA!!!


Sorry everyone! I told you here before that I've played air guns. AK-47 was my first air gun that I played. Actually my second baby is M-14...hahaha

Sorry I left you in Japan..

I don't know how many people can understand what I'm talking about honestly... haha
I'm sure HE can understand my feeling though :P hehe
I don't care even if you have negative opinions about guns, but it's cool anyway! haha After I saw Andy's cap, I suddenly felt like I wanted to take a picture of me wearing that cap and camo clothes and write about it! Crazy girl! I know it ;) Thanks for reading it though! hahaha

My host family is now making home made pizza! (What a peaceful story is!) I'm gonna join it from now :D Have a good evening everyone!

CUUUUUBA!!!!

My host family came back home from their trip in Cuba! Everyone got nice sun tan!!!
Before I talked about their trip, I wanna show you something. My host dad, Andy, is really good at making ribs! I love his special sauce too :D So, next day when they came back, Andy tried to make ribs because they bought nice Cuban alcohol. But.........look at this picture everyone..

Again, Andy is really good at making ribs... He did another job while he was making ribs and forgot about it..... He was SO mad and I felt sorry for him, but I took a picture of it and told Ippo that I was gonna put it on my blog. hehe Actually Ippo asked me today if I already put this picture or not. haha So, I'm uploading my blog with this picture now ;) Sorry Andy! I wanna eat your ribs again some day though!!!

Very famous Cuban rum and cigar, Cohiba, and souvenir from Anna, which is a cup designed Cuba! I'm gonna tell you in advance, I didn't try cigar, but rum :) hehe Ippo and Andy showed me Cuban famous alcohol with rum, coconuts milk and pineapples juice shaking with ice. I couldn't remember the name, but it was really REALLY good!!! I even drank 2 glasses...haha Ippo put pineapple with glass and it looked really nice! I felt like I was in Cuba!!!

Ippo and Aoi

Anna is drinking her favorite strawberry juice!

I'm waiting for you calling my name!

haha Aoi-chan with rum and cigar!

When they came back home, I told Ippo that I missed her pasta. So, she made tomato sauce, which is my favorite, as dinner!!! yum :) I don't feel lonely now because every time I go to down stairs, there are Anna and Gabriella saying "Aoooooooi". haha Cute kids :)

This weekend was awesome. I finished homework on Thursday and Friday, and I slept a lot this weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday I woke up at 3:00 p.m. haha I haven't slept much these days, so it was such a nice sleeping time on this weekend. I feel like I want one more day, but tomorrow is Monday...so I gotta go to school. I can see my friends, so it's OK :D
Ok, I'm gonna try to sleep even though I'm not even awake 12 hours today...haha
Have a good night everyone ;)

Have a Good Time

It's 4:30 a.m. now and my host family just left home to the airport! I woke up at 3:30 a.m. and helped Anna and Gabriella change their clothes!!! They seemed so excited! I gave them a kiss :)
Now I feel a bit sad that they left and realized I'm alone in the house, but I can't wait to hear lots of stories from them when they come back!
Have a great time in Cuba, Andy, Ippo, Anna and Gabriella! I'll take good care of the house and Laula and Zeana!!! Ciao :D

Nice☆Weekend

It's been a long time to play whole 3 days off from school :D Even though we don't have school on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it doesn't mean we can just play. We have to do homework, study for exams, review what we leaned....etc
BUT BUT BUT!!! This weekend was different! I played all days with my friends and I had so much fun :) Here is story from my weekend!!!!!
On Friday my friends and I hung out for lunch as usual. We went to the restaurant that one of my friend's host mom runs. I think we spent around 3 hours there talking, eating and our favorite playing Black Jack!!! We ate a lot because the sheff at the restaurant served us many free meals!!! We were happy, but we were so full when we left the restaurant. After that, we went to IKEA (furniture store) because I wanted to get some doll for my bed, Lily (my Chinese friend) wanted candles and Hugh (my Korean friend) wanted to buy new pillow! On the way to the IKEA, we went so crazy and seemed like we were drunk. haha We just talked really stupid stuff, made fun of each other, started to speak own language...etc! I feel really comfortable with them :D At IKEA, I found CUTE elephant doll!!!! It's so soft that I can hold easily!
Here you go!!! Me and my friends, Lily, KyungMi and Hugh, tried to name him and thought about it a lot! His name is "Kodda" if you are Japanese, pronounce it "Kota". It's from elephant in Korean and Chinese actually! He is Swedish-Canadian simply because IKEA is Swedish company and I bought him here in Canada! hahaha When we went to the station from IKEA, everyone looked us (well ME) because a girl was holding elephant doll in her arms! hahaha He always sleeps with me :) You gotta come see him and say "HI". hehe


CUUUUTE
On Friday night, my host family took me to the really nice Greek restaurant!!! My host dad is from Greece :D The atmosphere was just awesome and food there was excellent :) Andy (my host dad) ordered traditional Greek food for me :) I don't know the spell, so I can't tell you now....haha Sorry about that! After dinner, they took me to the supermarket to buy what I wanna eat next week because they are going on trip to Cuba from tomorrow for a week!!! It was funny, but on the way home in a car, we could smell Greek food that we ate...hahaha heavy.... Me and coffee drank some strong coffee after we were back home, but we could sleep very well as usual ;) hehe

I showed my friend who came here a few weeks ago around Vancouver on Saturday! It's been a loooong time for me to speak Japanese! We went to the English Bay and we found a good cafe!!! I told him that I wanted just hot coffee, but because the name was "coffee of the hour", which was long for him to say in English, he ordered americano! hahahaha He was like "I don't know what to say because name was too long". I'm gonna be his English teacher I guess! haha It's been a long time for me too to go to downtown so I had fun :) We went to Gas Town and took a picture of "steam clock"!!! I remembered myself when I first came to Vancouver and took a picture of it!!! hahaha



sooo cute :)

Steam Clock in Gas Town

Today, which is Sunday, I hung out with Lily again :) We went to Japanese restaurant (Finally!!!) and it was good! I really wanted to buy some clothes and I got 3 T-shirts!!! All of them are so cool (well....I should say it's "cute"?). I LOVE T-shirt and Jeans with my awesome blue watch and bracelet :) That's my style, which is a lot different than typical Japanese girl. Everyone tells me it IS Aoi :) Oh! I went to the hair salon finally!!!! I haven't gone there since I came to Vancouver and my hair got really messy... I wanted to keep the length, so I just got layer and changed hair color :) I like my new hair style!!! I talked my stylist and Lily ALL the time and it was so much fun!!!
One more thing!!! We went to "Rocky Mountain Chocolate" for the first time in a looong time! It's a chocolate store and famous for hmmm what it's called?......"apple caramel chocolate". It's used whole apple covered with caramel and variety of sweets! It's impossible to eat with only one person. I think 4 people is the best because it's so sweet. haha There are seasonal decoration too! Like Halloween, Christmas, and now it's for Easter!!! It's so cute to see the rabbit decoration! Lots of people took a picture, so....I did it too!! hehehe
Actually what we ate was chocolate marshmallow!! It was good with coffee at starbucks! haha

Easter Bunny!!!

I had a really good weekend!!! I really hope it's getting warmer soon because it snowed here AGAIN!!! It's crazy this year~~~ :D Summers are so pretty here and I can't wait to it !!!!
Ok, I'll get some sleep for tomorrow's class! Have a nice dream everyone!

Congratulation on your Engagement!!!

My best friend in Japan just got proposed from her boyfriend!!! Her engage ring is from Tiffany!!! Her necklace that she got as 20 years old birthday present from her boyfriend was Tiffany and her bracelet that she got as 21 years old birthday present was also Tiffany!!! What is the NEXT??? haha We talked on the skype the other day and she looked so happy to tell me all things happened to her. And she told me that this Sunday her fiance will go to her house to meet her parents and ask them "Please let us get married." or something like that. (It's hard to explain in English) Who-hooo!!! It's gonna be a nervous moment for sure!!! Ganbatte Akira-kun! If the wedding is in December as their plan, I can go to the wedding!!! Actually they try to set their wedding date with thinking a lot about my school schedule because I'm in Vancouver now and I can't go back to Japan if I don't have long vacation. I'm really excited about it!!! Of course I've never attended my close friend's wedding, so I gotta arrange their wedding perfectly for them :D Ahhh!!! Finally they will get married! Happy happy♪♪♪

Because I talked with my best friend, I do miss Japan now. I love my life here, of course, but I'm already looking forward to this summer when I can go back to Japan! I have many things I wanna do even though I have only 2 weeks... Hanging out with my friends, going to MY STARBUCKS, going to Disneyland (please, mom!!!) and I wanna go to Nara. I wanted to go to Nara before I came here, but I didn't have money.....(I needed to save money for my laptop) I can go Nara with only one day trip, so I'm thinking about it ;) What else? Oh! I'm a HUGE fan of Dragons!(baseball team in Japan) Stadium is close to my house so hopefully I can get a ticket!!! Any seats are OK :) I wanna screeeeeeaaaaam!!!! At the same time, I'm thinking about souvenirs for my family and friends. Maple syrup is famous, but hmmmmm, seems boring. haha I gotta be CREATIVE☆ After I go back from Japan, I can update lots of pictures from Japan!!! Finally I figured out how to make albums on my blog, so I can put a lot :)

From next Monday, my host family is going to Cuba for vacation! I can make Japanese food by myself!!! yaaaaay :) And they will prepare rice for me ;) I'm thinking about what I'm gonna make!!! I can't cook, but I can do it if it's for me :) haha I don't have to worry about what other people think about my food! Ganbaroooo :D :D :D

I wanna watch some movies, but I think I have to finish making an outline for essay.... Aghhhhh!!!!!!!! But, all my friends are doing so I can do it!!!
Have a good night everyone!!! Say "congratulation" to my friend :)
