whelp, it's September... forgive me if i'm not so thrilled about it, but i really enjoyed having most of my mornings off.  i also enjoyed not having to run from school to school to work, and i really appreciated the pace that August gave me: not too fast, but not too slow. :P ( Read more... )

i finally get another day off during the week, and what do i do with it?  arrange for a dentist appointment and stay home to work on ALT stuff... ^_^;;  hubs asked me if i wanted to go on a day trip or something and my response was "where to?"  :P  sigh, what can i say?  i'm just THAT boring... either that or i'm just that lazy.... ^_ ( Read more... )

i don't remember if i mentioned it on here or not since i post most of my blurbs and thoughts on FB, but come April, i will be working 7 days a week.  basically, i'll have 2 jobs and 1 private class, but i'll be working in 3 different places.  yea, ACB is making me into a dispatch ALT :P  that was actually something that i'd been apprehensive about ( Read more... )

i had a pretty rough first week of December considering that i got sick again.  although, i think my immune system is starting to get used to the germs here in Japan, because instead of 2 weeks for myself to fully recover like the last time i got sick, it took about 4-5 days to pretty much get over most of my symptoms.  i guess i caught it early ( Read more... )

belated rabbit rabbit!! it's September and about 12 more days before i can celebrate my first year living in Japan!  :D  i guess i can say that there has been more good than bad when it comes to living in Fukuoka.  then again, i'm a workaholic and have no real life, so i haven't experienced much up to now.. :P

anyway, Kay had her last two dentist ( Read more... )

a little less than a month and Kay and i will have stayed in Fukuoka for 1 whole year!  =D  can you believe that?  time just flies right by, it seems.  i'll do my 1 year post when the time comes, so i'll talk about the good and the bad about living in Fukuoka then.  now, on to Kay's dentist appointment!

( i'm a very proud mommy! )

as i said in my last post, i spotted a dreaded cavity between the top left back molars of Kay's teeth.  sigh.. words cannot describe how disappointed i was at that moment... ~_~;;  it's like i'd failed at taking care of her, you know what i mean?  :(

after getting over my disappointment, i went online that night to find a pediatric dentist that ( Read more... )

okay, to make a slight correction in my last post about the Obon Festival and how not everyone celebrates it.  i was mistaken, and EVERYONE celebrates it.  i didn't realize this until i walked around and places that i wanted to go to were closed or opening later during the day.  even the bus system in the city notified that they were decreasing the ( Read more... )

the 1st was Kay's first visit to the dentist. hubby had found a dentist's office nearby that he thought was pretty good, so all of us went there. Kay's appt was right after her daddy's, so they have the same dentist. she only shed a couple of tears when they put her on the chair, but after meeting the dentist and watching some cartoons on a ( Read more... )

and a birthday holler to danny_valentiniman, March is gonna be crazy busy what with only two weeks left until we fly off to Yokohama and stay there for a month. i'm starting to dread this trip instead of being excited, because it's not really a vacation at all! it's like going into boot camp for me...if that makes any sense ( Read more... )
