Encouragement from Malaysia

I didn't log in my blog recently because I was working on my thesis all the time...literally all the time. Yesterday, finally, I finished my thesis. I will talk about it later.

During the hard time, I got a new year greeting from Exter, Malaysia.

Usually, we communicate by visiting blogs each other and leaving some comments...so, it feels special to get a letter.

In addition to her sincere letter, even seeing stamps of other countries makes me feel happy. She put this special envelop she got in Macao. I will cherish all of them.

Exter, thank you for your greeting card. I'm sorry my reply is late. Without your encouragement, I couldn't finish my thesis. I really appreciate your kindness!!

Thank you!!~New Year's card from South Korea

I got such a nice greeting card on the first day of this year from my friend, South Korea. This year will be nice!!

We exchange New Year's cards in the beginning of Jan. We usually start to prepare for cards from Dec. At first, many people buy blank New Year's cards in post office. We make cards the way we like. If you're good at drawing, you can do. Cards reflect each person's characteristic.

Then, we drop them into mailbox. Mailmen start to deliver them from Jan 1st. If we mail them until Dec 25th, cards will be sent on Jan 1st. (I always drop my New Year's cards around Dec31st. That means, my friends cannot get my cards on Jan 1st. Well, we celebrate New Year not only on Jan 1st also until 3rd. I hope it's not so problem my friends cannot get cards on exactly New Year's day hehe. )

I hope my friends both in Japan and abroad enjoy my New Year's cards. They're not so special but I wrote down messages, remembering friends' faces.

Happiness from Beijing

I got a mail from one of my friends, from Beijing.

It's a not dream!!(Read the previous article 'missing my friends').

He wrote this letter in fluent? yeah, fluent Japanese.

He was working as a volunteer during the Beijing Olympic Games. According to his letter, he posted this letter in the media press center where he's working. This postmark is gonna be a remembrance (Your Japanese is saying so. Is that what you wanted to say??)

The Beijing Olympics has finished but this letter is still filled with the Olympic enthusiasm.


When I got this letter, I was a little bit desperate. The more I read this letter, the more I got cheerful. This letter seemed to warm my heart=)

Actually, I sent some cards to my home once or twice a month while I was in the U.S. Sometimes, I sent them to my grandpa and grandma, relatives and friends.
I'm wondering if they were glad to get my letters same as I got this letter from my friend.

Thank you for giving me this letter~~!!
I hope I can play the piano with you again!!

Earings

I had my ears pierced at the shop in the U.S. (In Japan, shops are not allowed to have ears pierced) I wondered about an allergy...What if I will have an allergy...

Luckly, I didn't have to worry about it at all.

I guess most 'posts' of earings are made by metal. Therefore, some people have metal allergy. I was surprised to see some earings in Japan because that posts are made by resin (the left earing in the picture). Resin posts seem to be good for ears.

So, I used it but...........itchy!!!!!!!!

Besides, my ear holes got kind of damaged....so terrible~~~

Now, I stopped using it. I'm using earings I bought in the U.S. It's so comfortable~~

I bought the right earing (horseshoe one) in the picture @American Eagle. Is there someone who has same one??hehe
