Final Driving Exam @ Driving School

So today, I had my final driving exam, which I had to pass in order to graduate and to get the permission to write the written test which would grant me a legal license to cruise around on the road with my gangs. Basically, the exam itself consist of a fixed route and self planned route. I was two of 29 students who were asked to take the test in the afternoon due to a massive number of students taking the exam on that day. Not sure if it was a good thing or not, I waited for my turn for a couple hours visually training to take the exam. Very luckily, I happened to be given my favorite route out of 9 choices by chance. So that was great! I got a little nervous and my heart ached a bit, but I concentrated on keeping my calm attitude at all times. Once we returned to the school property, the teacher told us that we passed okay, so we were granted to attend the graduation ceremony at 2pm. :) So given 10 minutes before the ceremony, I rushed to the pay phone (ha, I have no mobile here in Japan) to tell my parents of this great news!!!

After the graduation ceremony, it indeed was a little sad to say good bye to friends that I made there. We exchanged email addies and promised each other to meet up at a later time once we pass the written test and get the legal permit to drive on the road. I thanked the patient and kind teachers before leaving, and left when my mom came to pick me up. One of my friends got on the ride with us, and enjoyed the ride chatting about our near future... Then we got to the gym, so I got off for my work out :) It felt super great to exercise on such a happy day getting on the rhythm of the great music and sweating off mindlessly (not giving a shite about my sweaty piggieness of self..LOL). Ironically, 3 years ago on the same date, my grandma on my mom's side passed away. On my temp permit exam day a few weeks ago was an anniversary of my beloved brother's death. So I felt as if both of them were there looking over me to perform okay on these important tests. :) I am thankful that I can now take the written test though.. VERY closed to my official debut on my gang star life on the road. You better look around twice when you are in my neighborhood walking/driving from now and on.... yes, you becha! :)

Photos from my driving school

I brought a digi cam with me to take a few photos at my driving school today. From 12:50pm, I had a 2 hr lesson on the highway. The weather out today was very gorgeous with bright green and pink colors all around the mountains. I wanted to take some photos when another student was driving and myself in the backseat, but since it was technically during our driving lesson, I did not. Then it was my turn. Driving on the highway was cool but required my full attention and focus as it can be quite dangerous driving at such high speed; and thusly, it was a little tiring. It indeed was a great experience though!!

Then we came back to the school residence area, where I practiced driving on a scooter for 1 hr. Luckily, I got to take the lesson with my friend, Ai-chan.

Here is me with a peace sign, soon to be a gang star on the road. I warn you to watch out for
me on the road the next time you drive in my area:

This is Ai-chan:

Here are a photo of me and Ai-chan. That's right. I look TALL in this photo. wow :) hahaha

Here is Hiroshi-kun and Ai-chan:

I wanted to take more photos with friends, but I was shy, so I did not. haha

I wore my "fly to the sky on so high" earrings today :0) whee

That's it for now :) peace

Very Cute Pet Photos

Here are some very cute pet photos sent to me by my friend, Dawn:

Gigi: the boston terrier: sooo cute!!

I love seeing an animal interacting with other animals like this.

Bert: Soo tiny. wow :)

Wow. Look at her eyes!!!!

Bert reminds me of the kitten, jiji from a catoon movie, Kiki, the delivery service:

Here is a photo that was apparently on a magazine, but check this out. VERY CUTE!!

Thanks very much for sharing, Dawn!!

I baked some sweets to bring with me to school as an afternoon snack. My attempt in making some corn muffins turned out like this:

I made loads of corn muffins...hmm

It turned out pretty good! But thenext time I make them, I want to make it with a little less sugar and more and MORE corn powder. :)

I love our pet, Brian!!/My Old Drawings

After coming back from my driving lessons, I played with our family pet, Brian. :) When I returned to Japan, he was one pouty brat, since none of my family members (my parents and my grandma) make time to play with him. He used to always give me this "what you looking at? you are not going to play with me anyway, are you?" look. LOL But I have started taking at least 15 minutes of my day every day to

share good time with each other. He has turned into a rather big stupid dog (due to none of us disciplining him), so it is dangerous to take him for a walk :(
Consequently, his exercise routine has been limited to the time that I played with him with a ball and hide and seek around his house.

Anyhow, take a look at below photos of me and Brian. He is such a cute and very HONEST dog. I can tell what he is thinking just looking at his facial expressions. I bet all of youcan also tell what he is up to.. haha

Brian awaits for my arrival sitting on this proper posture. He thinks I am his "favorite" boss, cause I give him some snack (beef jerkies). My dad is officially his boss, but Brian lacks smiles when he is around, cause he can be such a spartan. LOL

Check out how happy Brian looks as I continue to pet him. awww :)

Andlook at this one! Brian is soo spoiled here. hehe

Prettycute huh? Well, if any of you have sweet animal photos, please share with me :) Oh speaking of sharing a photo, I have a quite XXX rated pic to share with you. LOL

Well, we have Hichi fuku jin that are seven Gods which carry happiness for us. They are very famous as civilian belief from Muromati period. The image of them is as shown asbelow.

Below photo was sent to me via my school friend, Ai-chan.
Oh god, I was hesitated to post this, but I would like you guys to see how XXX this photo looks. Can you believe a statue like this is actually built in public here in Japan ? I mean...... wow. LOL

I think it is one of the gods called Hotei-sama. Check out how proud he looks with his huge XXX. Apparently (according to Ai-chan, petting the unit three times gives you good luck. So if you wanna be lucky, don't hesitate to touch on the unit. Just make sure no one is watching or behindyou when you do it though. LOL)

While looking for some documents tonite, I found these color copies of some drawings that I did almost 5 years ago. Looking at these images reminded me of the phase of my life back then, and it was quite refreshing to me, so I decided to take photos of the copies and post them herein my blog :)

Belowdrawing was dedicated for a former co-worker (tibetian lady) who was gifted with a new life. I gave her this piece wishing her for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery of her child.

"EnergyCommunication "

"Mein the city" -I was living in Down Town, Toronto back then...

"Alchemist The Apple"-Dedicated to the book, "Alchemist" By Paulo Coelho:

I used to get down quite frequently wondering where I belonged and how I could live much fulfilling life back then....I used to shed some tears while taking a warm bath, so I drew a picture reflecting such moments:

"I turn into a snake in a presence of you"

That's all the images that I have with me.I did a ton more, but gave them all to my friends... :) so this is it for now. :) peace
