My new boyfriend!

I can't afford to buy a Hummer car but i was able to have Hummer folding bike!!! 

The front tire of my bike that i was using always was totally flat and i need to change the whole tire already... it will only cost me if i will ask to fix it ... besides it's really old and hopeless ... so i thought it's wise to buy a new one and alaaas... was able to get my new BF today... heheh.  I choose folding bike this time so i can put it inside the house or take it in the car on times of travelling. 

  

Thanks to my bff papie for sponsoring my new bike ;-)

Working me ;-)

Hello again ... just dropping by again to tell the world that i started another part time job ... well this time, it's in Multicultural Section of Shizuoka City Hall... it was an exciting day for me... desk work is not that hard... well, at least for now :P ...  and all staff were so nice especially my facilitator, Kudou san ... she gave me a love letter note after work saying thanks for today's hard work ... was so thoughtful of her <3 nbsp="" p="">

Thanks to my dear friend Amie for visiting me today at the office... she did treat me for lunch ... the nasu oroshi soba was really great!  'was really a lucky day for me ... i thought ... 

... but unfortunately ... not all lucky coz after work, when i got my bicycle from the bicycle parking ... i found out that my tire was flat! ... so i needed to walk from City Hall back to my home ... 

however, it turned out to be a good walking exercise then while viewing the autumn afternoon sky ... was so lovely <3 nbsp="">

September Get-away Trips

Hello there... i feel like blogging again... it's been a long time i never updated this photo blog of mine ... how i wish i can find time to continue posting some of my activities here again.

I actually started to renew the template of this blog and i still need to do something about some other changes coz many of my old photos and displays here are missing and disconnected already  ... however,  i still have problem with my time and maybe i need more efforts and determinations to continue this ... so, maybe if i am fully back to reality... meaning the old me lol ... i can make an effort to post more in the future.

Oh well... September is hereeee ... meaning autumn is almost around the corner !   There were many 3 weekend holidays  and i enjoyed them thru travelling and driving ...  ;-)

 I think Odaiba is the next fav place of my family in Tokyo next to Disney Resort :P
This is one of the popular shopping and entertainment district in Tokyo.  

 The Liberty Statue from France, the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower at the back.  If i need to fan my camera on my right ... we can see the new highest tower in Tokyo, the Sky Tree.
