Happy Birthday, G!!!

I can't believe it but he is now 10 years old!

This is from school...kids from March birthday.

I can recall the day clearly...went to pee at 4:45am then when I came back to bed, I felt like doing #2 but that was it! It was the contraction! He was born at 8:45am. So, I really had an easy NATURAL birth but....it was so painful.....

I love you so much!!! 

入隊!? Army


I am going to share this story both in Japanese and English...first my poor English then my poor Japanese...

Well, since I can't find a job, I was thinking about joining Army! I went to the recruting office which is located in the back of our house.

I was thinking....am I going to be like this?


But it's more like this...

But that's ok....

I can't be on active duty because...
 1. I am not US citizen
 2. I am not married and have kids

I knew we can join military with permanet resident status but my license (RN) will make me an officer automatically and to be an officer, you have to be US citizen.

I wanted to join Army (or anything) so I can live in Hawaii or Japan!!! So, doing the reserve (two days a month for $400 a month) in NYC was not my option.

Ok, so...how much do I need to become an American? $675!!!

I need a job to make that money for naturalization process! But if I have a job, I don't need to join Army!

As for marriage, I don't know. I feel that's not fair but at the same time it's understandable. We are in love and we know we will be together for ever but the whole marriage paper work thing is not our priority at this moment of our life. We don't want to just get married for me to join Army for sure!!! We need to find a way which both of us can feel bottom of my heart to show our love and commitment. We don't know how to do that yet. I am Buddhist and my BF is Catholic. United Nation Temple? Hmm....I am not sure.

 So, joining Army is not going to happen at this moment but I may think in the long run, it will pay me to go back to school and I may able to live in Japan or Hawaii! Great option! But I gotta hurry up, so I won't be too old to join Army (41 is the limit for Army. For others, it's much younger!)

 ハワイか日本に住めるかなあ?と思って、軍隊に入隊しようかな?なんて、思っちゃいました。
でも、結婚していない事や、アメリカ国籍がない事で(Officerになれちゃうので、Officerはアメリカ国籍じゃないといけないらしい。普通の軍人になるだけなら、アメリカ人じゃなくてもOKなの)夢は一時中断中。

さて、どうなるかな?(なんで、日本語だとこんなに短い文章なんだるう?)

abNormally Nursing

This exhibit is done by a wonderful woman who have been studying about extended nursing and she also photographed me and my little one. (but this is not me and baby's pic!!) She's not only a great student but also amazing photographer, sweet person, and beautiful woman!!!

According to her, she will have private exhibit after semester is over! I can't wait to see all her works (study and photography). Congratulations to her hard works and all the moms who nursed extensively!

Nursing wasn't easy but it was  truly very special time and attachment. (and the best nutrition for baby)

考える所


ある神様の教えによると、義母は、自分の反映らしい。(ちょっと詳しいことは忘れたけど)私には義母はいないけど、ダーリンのママを見ていると、確かに納得。

彼女と私まるっきり性格が違う。

でも・・・似てるんだよね。

そして、彼女からおそわることは多いい。

彼女みたいにはなりたくない。

だから、私はがんばる。

そして、彼女も救ってあげたい。

願掛け その2 No drikining alcohol until....


......................


I get a job!!!!!!!

This is it!!!!


I really wanted to watch this movie as soon as it came out but I missed the chance...

I just watched it on Movie on Demand.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Speechless!

I love Michael Jackson! I remember I pre-ordered his video (yes, VHS, of course) when I was in junior high school (maybe high school...) and wanted to see his dance everyday. I listened to his songs everyday...! (Even though I can never remember any lyrics)

He's so wonderful and I love him so much! (I am sure he will tell me he loves me too! That's how he is)

RIP to Michael Jackson, he will be always in my heart and my FUTURE iPhone (or Gsomething...I have the SMALLEST-cheapest-phone in the world for now).!!!!

Special gene


It runs in my family....but only in men.

HEMORRHOID!!!

My brother just went through the surgery and my sister sent me his picture...

He looks so miserable.

I wonder if it will affect my boys someday...

Get well soon!!!

開眼

難しい。

メイクって本当に難しい。

わたくし、メイクなしでは外に出れないくせに、とっても視力も悪いし、手先も不器用なので、なかなか上手になれないのが、メイク。

最近、メイクなんて、かなり適当。ブランド物も使ってないし、多分3分位で終了。とほほ。

自然派ダーリンに押されて(?)、かなりどうでもいい症候群が。

昼間、NYの姉(母?)とお買い物していると、「さっちゃん、あなたなかなか先が開けないみたいだから、どうかしら?この眉毛の間を広げて、第三の目を開眼させたら?」と、素敵なアドバイスを!

不思議な事に、昨日TVを見ていて、同じ事をダーリンに話していたのよね。眉毛の間にほくろがあるのは、仏教徒にとって、素敵な事なのよ。(みたいな事)ウチノママには、そこにほくろがあって、彼女がいつもそう言ってただけだから、仏教徒うんたらかんたらは、どうだかよく知らないんだけど・・・。

さっそく、メイクアップアーチストでもあり、とってもお洒落で素敵なママ友にテキストで、眉毛の整え方アドバイスを頂、いろんなWebsiteとにらっめこして、かなりの数の眉毛を抜かせていただきました。

昔から、マドンナの娘のように眉毛が濃い私。高校生のときに抜きすぎて、もう半分は生えてこない・・・。(涙)でも、生えてる眉毛は異常に濃く、一本一本がかなり太い。なかなかWebsiteの綺麗な姉ちゃん(下参照)みたいにはいかない・・・。

明日は、小銭を握って、眉毛の粉(いつもペンシル派なんだけど、やっぱりスタートするところは、粉がいいらしい)を買おう。

でもとにかく、開眼終わり。もうこれで私の先は開けました。

ありがとう、皆。
