Hello my old blog. Ir's been A LONG TIME. Ohisashiburi desu ne! Jaa, what to write. Kinda wish I've kept up with this blog. So much (and yet so little =P) has happened! Hmm. Japan was a success. At least, I deem it successful now. Reading my old posts, I may have not had the same opinion as my old self. Maika! Upon my return to San Diego, I immediately found a job at ICAE located in downtown, La Jolla. I still work there, but am working to finish my Master's degree in Education, TESOL. I know, I know, acronyms up the yin yang. My family has let go of our house and relocated to a cozy apartment in Mission Valley. Fine living. I moved back with them when I started grad school to save rent. I don't think I'll stay here after I graduate, but we'll see. Nothing has changed much in San Diego. My man card has been upgraded with an M1 endorsement. Yes, I RIDE. Is that so hard to believe? I've already gone through 2 motorcycles, have never spilled, and finally bought a new one last month. My new baby, an '09 Yamaha FZ6-R. I still heart my '00 Toyota Celica though, which now has over 155k miles and still runs strong! It's all about wanting what you've got, and remembering why you got it in the first place. Don't take things for granted, especially the things that you already have. =)
