My Life Update

So my parents finally came back from their trip from Canada.
They first arrived in Vancouver to unite with my older and youngest sisters, then flew to Toronto to meet up with my another younger sister (that's right. I have three sisters!), who got a job as an assistant to the producer of the Red Hot Chilli Pepper. This sister, who got this cool employment opportunity was moving to Vancouver, BC for the job, so my dad took this opportunity to help her move from London, ON to Vancouver, BC by acrossing Canada in god knows how long, hmmm like a week?

But it turned out that my dad used my sister's move as an excuse, and the main purpose of the trip was to go and see the mystical lake in Alberta, Lake Louise, and the huge falls as you may have heard in Bjork's song: "You've never been to Niagara Falls? I have seen water, its water, that's all", the Niagara falls in Ontario and basically just to see absolutely nothing for hours in central Canada (oh they said, they saw a moose though), but beatiful mountains in BC.

No, the main purpose of this trip was to cerebrate my parent's 30th marriage anniversary. This is what I was told when my mom returned from the trip showing off this pair of gorgeous ammonite earrings to me. I was like: "woah, good god, dad. it's great to be an action-taker to express his feelings like this, once in a while". LOL Well, although my dad is a very unique Japanese father, who would send off all his daughters over-sea for educational and personal development purpose at such young age (we all left home when we were 15/16), he still is a shy guy who would not express his feelings verbablly. So surely, my mom was in such a great mood, when she returned.

To think of it, I do not know if I have ever seen such peaceful and happy state of my mother like this in my past. A few days ago, I spotted my parents laughing together while looking into each other's eyes. I was like: "were they like this before all of us were born??" LOL

Also, I spotted them facing the computer going through all the photos and movies from the trip, deciding which one to print out. It is usually my dad who just asks my mom to take care of everything like this, so it was very refreshing to see both of them doing something together.

So over all, things are super good here, thanks to my parents frequently communicating with each other and both of them feeling happy and at peace.

:)

I want to thank my sisters who must have made this trip successful also. So if you were reading this, THANK YOU, sister~s!
