Snow on Japanese Garden is definitely pretty :)

sooo I have arrived in Japan on Sun evening Japan time after 13 hr of flight eating not so pleasant flight meals, sammich snack (you had a choice of sammich or cup noodles) and ice cream. LOL

I am enjoying seeing my parents, my grandma and Brian, the silly dog here, but I continue to spend some time for work. Indeed, I am reminded that my job requires me to have good time management and organizational skills covering overseas travel and meeting arrangements for the executives.

But I must say that I am blessed with great team and people who can support us. :)

Yesterday, I woke up, made hotel arrangements, did a bit of translation work, then had a relative coming to visit, so it was nice to see him and watch my childhood video clips which my dad recently converted onto dvd. Then in the afternoon, my folks and I went to the cemetary to visit the gravestones where my ancestors and little brother rest in peace. My mom and I then went to a temple to burn incents for my grandma on my mom's side. I felt as though my grandma was smiling and giving me such warm and positive energy when I made the visit. The memory of her great smile that she always shared with me whenever I returned to Japan and visited her came to my mind and I felt so warm and united with her invisible soul. I told her that I would continue working hard not only for the company but for my people. I also thanked her for protecting us and providing a sense of peace and comfort in our lives.

Then my mom and I went to the hair salon, and I got a hair cut. I just stylized a bit, so that I can have my hair down if I want to. I am amazed to see how the perm that I got early this May is still there giving my hair different shape than having a flat straight hair. LOL

Then we went to a book store and some shops (drug store etc).

We came home, I was very exhausted as I had about 3-4 hrs of sleep (but stayed awake to fix my jetlag and do some work), so I fell into sleep in the living room, woken up to a fabulous dinner, ate a little (my digestive system is a bit weird from long journey) and then went to bed by like 9-10pm. I woke up early this morning 5am to do some work :)

The executives are arriving at the Airport today, so I have to have some work done before meeting with them.

:) Peace and love, Kumi

hey, tatsu! check this out.
my parents are going to get their tsugaru shamisen training from the next year!! LOL

you better do something, cause my dad said he will make it to the national tv commedian shows by tieing up with my mama. LOL DAD: "Oka-san, ikimasuyo" MAM: "hai" LOL

yeah, apparently, my dad tried to get the shamisen you played for a repair, but it would cost way too much money, so they ended up buying one each for themselves. LOL

I look forward to seeing them perform on tv though :) And sorry, I am going to reply to your email now :) :)
