I already miss Japan.

I got home on December 2nd. Still dealing with jet lag. Been sleeping on and off. I’m awake now so I’ve decided to type out some thoughts.

I had a beautiful time out there! I didn’t get to do everything so I’m already planning my second visit. ☺️ The last few months were challenging for me, so I was happy to reward myself with a trip.

Long plane rides are torturous for me. I couldn’t stay in my seat either. I had to get up and walk + use the bathroom. Had to keep the blood flowing. Decent seat neighbors. Plane food was pretty good too.

The goal right now is to save and pay off bills! I spent a lot out there, but I have no regrets. Missing all of the food! 😭

The highlight of my trip was seeing Mt. Fuji! Going to Puroland too. I was also able to navigate transit. I’m so proud of myself!!!

Now I’m back home trying to get back to normal life. Missing some people that I hope to see very soon. Life is already changing. Please slow down just for a bit.

Good night. 💜

Japan!

It’s finally happening. I’ve been talking about this trip for so long. I mustered up all of my courage and booked my plane tickets for November. First solo international trip and my first time in Asia!!

I’ve been watching reels, YouTube videos, and everything in between to prep for this adventure. I’m anxious and very excited!!! I’m looking forward to taking all of these pics: food, tourist attractions, shrines, still life of the city, and heck even videos! I’ve been trying to do that more since I don’t do that enough.

I’m hoping I meet a lot of great people out there. The one thing that’s making me a bit nervous is navigating public transit. If I get lost, don’t panic. I’m confident with my sense of direction. It never hurts to ask for help either! ☺️

It’s my Monday today. I don’t want it to be the weekend yet. I’m dealing with a lot of feelings and emotions. Ahh! Part of me knows I shouldn’t. We shall see.

Good night. 💜

Day 231.

Happy Thursday! It’s almost the weekend. I can’t wait. The last few days have been tough. I just want all the candy right now. But I’ll be patient and wait for Saturday.

Work went well. Just had two students to supervise. As I’m adjusting to my ever evolving schedule, I’m getting the hang of it! The music helps in between breakout times.

Spam, eggs, and garlic rice for dinner. Hurrah! It’s been a while. Comfort food is the best.

I watched Dateline tonight. It was a really good episode. Now I’m watching NHK World Japan. My dream vacation! Someday I’ll get there. Maybe in a year or two.🤞🏼

Animal Crossing update: Halloween! I’ll tidy up the beach and some of the flowers tomorrow. I’m lacking energy at the moment.

Planning to sleep soon. Hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 71.

TGIF! Today was okay. I was tired. Yesterday took most of my energy. Definitely a rest day.

I was in touch with my medical team since Monday is a holiday. I have to jot down my weight, blood pressure, and my pulse for Tuesday. This is my second teletherapy appointment. It’s not too bad. I just miss going to clinic. Anyway, one of my tests came back a little elevated. I think this means I need to wean myself off of junk food again especially chips. My medicine arrived today too! I took a nap after the phone call. I was super sluggish.

My Switch lite cases from Japan arrived today! I wasn’t expecting them until next week. I’m in love. Super kawaii.

We finished Brüno after Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. What a wild movie! It’s super funny. Then we watched a few episodes of Unsolved Mysteries.

Planning to be productive tomorrow. I need to go through my closet. Some old items especially clothing need to be donated or trashed. Little by little, I’ll get my room in order. I haven’t been able to organize. I’m too preoccupied with Animal Crossing tbh. Lol.

That was my Friday. I hope you all had a good day! And Happy Birthday to my friend, Dale! I hope we can see each other soon. ❤️ Shelter in place is winding down, but I’m still very anxious.

Take care and good night.

Day 33.

Happy Tuesday! I slept better compared to the other days. I ended up rewatching Four Weddings And A Funeral the series on Hulu. I love the show!

I ate multiple meals. That hasn’t happened in a few weeks. Proud of myself! ☺️ I did snack on chips. I’ve missed it. Now I want Pringles. Lol. Hopefully we can place a grocery delivery in the next few days. There are no openings at the moment. 😬

Played Katamari Damacy! Fond memories of it in 2004. Such a simple and cool game. I love the music and the graphics. This is why I want to visit Japan. Hopefully soon.

I washed dishes before taking a nap. It’s my favorite chore! I’ll do that over anything else.

Had a tele-therapy appointment in the evening. It was nice to catch up with my therapist. She’s super supportive. It’s needed right now especially during the shelter in place.

Practiced my uke with Bianca. I’m gaining confidence with chords and transitions. Day 6 of practice. I hope I can sing along soon. Just gotta carry a tune. Haha.

I miss sports! We might not see it return until the end of the year. Sigh. Better to keep everyone safe!

Proud to be a Californian! Be safe and be well. 💕

Good night.
