The past few days, I have spent some of my time running back and forth between the living room, laundry room and my room to pack my stuff for the move.
And my thought right now: not sure if I can fit in everything that I want to bring with me.
Well, one thing I know is that I must leave my winter clothings here and have them sent to me in fall. I cannot even bring this pig skin jacket that I got on yahoo auction the other day. :( So that's too bad, but oh well. I can live without it, but the joy that I get from color-coordinating my outfit is something that I can not get rid of right now. I realized how much positive energy i get from colors these days.... anyhow,
so i have bought most of stuff that I need to bring with me.
i still need to get a cool yukata (japanese summer kimono) for my friend though.
it's been a great challenge to get a decent yukata online. I have been trying to get it on the auction (of course, new kimono), but most of them are quite expensive (over 100 dollars), so I am hoping to get a good deal for you, ange! (if you were reading this)...
i also need to find a couple umbrellas for her mom.
other than that, I got a yakisoba sauce for you, John (please let me know your address, so that I can send it to you).
I also got a little something to give you, Dawn (please wait for a mail from me until I settle down in Toronto).
and one gift has been reserved for your coming b-day, Scott.
I also got a bit of little something for my buddies in Toronto. :)
So I am feeling better--taking care of things now.
Today, I got my International Driver's LICENSE!
All I needed to do was drive for 30 minutes away from home to this driving center, show my driver's license, a photo, and inkan (family stamp) and pay the fee. It was very simple for me to get it. So this means that I will be able to drive a car in Canada if necessary. :)
Although I sure need to remind myself that it will be *keep on right* this time. LOL
Other than that, I was working on this translation trial that I was asked to do from a translation company a couple days ago. It turned out to be a quite challenging assignment to complete. For a person who has not majored in finance nor read the finance section of the japanese newspaper, it took hrs to complete it. I had my parents check my translation (it was from English to Japanese), and sent my work right away a few hrs ago, and I already got a respond saying that they could not get me the position and encouraged me to try again sometime later. :(
So I feel a bit disappointed about this.
I mean who enjoys getting rejections afterall? :(
But I need to get used to rejections now before arriving in Toronto, as I expect myself to be experience a lot of that during my full time job search....Well, gotta keep taking actions though. :)
Tomorrow, my grandma wants to take us to a really fancy Japanese restaurant for a nice meal. This was something that she kept telling us about, something that she really wanted to do while my stay. So the day has come, and I feel a little sentimental and emotional about the fact that I am really leaving here in less than a week now. To be exact, 5 days!
So we will leave the house tomorrow early so that my parents can meet with my cousin's family in the morning before heading to the restaurant. In the evening, we will return here for the restaurant business.
On Friday, I plan on trimming my hair. Do more packing and the last minute shopping.
Saturday, I hope to meet up with a friend in Tokyo. If she is not busy, that is.
Sunday is the father's day where I want to do some cooking to cerebrate my dad's fatherhood.
Monday is the day I depart for my journey.
So really, I do not have much time left with me. But I really hope to take care of everything before I leave..
Okay, someone please use a magic so that I can fall into sleep earier tonite. LOL
Good nite, and for you people, please have a wonderful day!
peace and hugs,
Kumi
