i'm back in vancouver, it's almost a week since i left japan. things are as always here - as they should be. props on the fact i brought up my stereo from home...i can listen to old md's now and have moments of nostalgia every now and then. after the worst plane ride across the pacific ocean, ive decided turbulence is my worst enemy. turbulence you'll never kill me.

anyway...this guy that i met during the summer randomly emailed me wishing a happy new year and all. i still need to contact the 03ers. ive become so bad at keeping in touch with tokyorites...but that simply means im involved in life here so that's that. but it's good to hear from tokyorites - nothing gives me more motivation than they do. the energy i got from miko and hafs alone can last me a good while...how i love charismatic people. too bad there's only a few around.

it's jun's BDAY!! hmm...my fondest memory from childhood has got to be those with jun. in particular i can still relive that moment when jun brought me back a present when he went to aussie for xmas break. and what did he get me? a kangaroo necklace...haha...foreshadows amuse me. that was back in grade 3 or 4...*sigh* where did the cute junta disappear? all im left with is sensu-dancer jun that only comes back to mikawashima every 3 years.

apparently no matter how much science has evolved society, instant transportation is impossible.

if only i could.

anyway.

catch me if you can 2006. it's the year of the kaleidoscope of illusions.
