Other title of this blog post: My cousin comes to visit! But no matter how I thought about it, all I wanted to share were cute photos of the animals. After all, I’ve already written about Nokonoshima and the owl cafe many times (links lead to search results) and there are only so many times I can… Read More Animals, Cute Animals Everywhere!
The first week of NaNoWriMo is over! Happily, I’m caught up on the wordcount requirement, which is great because I didn’t start writing until the second. I should have taken a screenshot last night. My average was much higher :p I didn’t get to mention this before I started NaNoWriMo (my cousin was here, so… Read More NaNoWriMo Week 1 Update
Aaand, I’m not now longer with Softbank. Or have an Android phone. I’m now using an iPhone! If you remember my old post about my first handphone, I mentioned I chose it because the specs seemed better. *rant ahead, feel free to skip to the next paragraph* But, my phone ended giving me a lot… Read More Changing Phone Carriers in Japan
I’m really really believing that the old adage “it never rains but pours” is true. One week, I’m having a nice, quiet, completely un-blog worthy life, and the next, I get a new phone, go for a few seminars and have family coming to visit. So, by my count, I want to share about switching… Read More Two Business Seminars!

One of my classmates, who had actually gone there, told me it was beautiful, so yesterday, I went there in the evening with a new friend from Church. And woah.… Read More Nokonoshima Cosmos Flower Lightup

It comes with having too many books and not enough space. (Hi Nic! Feel free… Read More My experience with house-cleaning services in Japan
In the past week, two major typhoons have hit Japan. What are the odds? Living in Fukuoka, I hardly ever experience a typhoon. It always seems to skip me, which is good. But today’s typhoon VongFong? Woah. I’m never underestimating typhoons again. As you can see, Fukuoka isn’t in the direct path, but is in… Read More It’s Typhoon Season in Japan!
School has finally started, and my life is settling down into a school-baito-sleep routine. Oh and golf. I’ve got the air in my bicycle tires refilled, so life is at the peaceful phase before I start loading it up with activities. Since this is the second semester of my second year, I’m now at the… Read More Back to School Update!
When I got back to Japan, I started writing about my 21st birthday party. And due to my tendency to be verbose, the post eventually turned into two parts. This is part two, and you can read part one here (Part 1 is a guide on how I got the various Ghibli-themed elements to create… Read More My Studio Ghibli Themed 21st Birthday Party! (Part 2)
