eggchan | It's almost 2010!

This photoshoot is freaking awesommmeee just look at how inflexible Mr. Failboat is there haha

What an interesting year it was.

I did and saw way more than I ever thought I would.

Biggest accomplishment for me - exploring and experiencing Japan. Loving it. Hating it. Making wonderful friends. I experienced things that I'd never experienced or thought I would experience before in my life.

+ Lived through 3 earthquakes
+ Saw a solar eclipse
+ Wore a yukata
+ Rode the shinkansen (so freaking awesome

)
+ Saw Tohoshinki
+ ARASHI CONCERT 5 FREAKING ROWS AWAY FROM THE FRONT
+ Went to a matsuri
+ Explored Nagoya
+ Ate crepes
+ Went to Tokyo Disney & Sea
+ Went to Tokyo!
+ Visited Johnny's Shop 6 times

+ Addiction to Book Off
+ Addiction to Kiatenzushi (curse you discount sushi!!)
+ Traveled and saw Ise Shrines, the ocean, Nara, many many many many other places
+ Climbed mountains, saw 1,500 year old trees and temples
+ Saw Mount Fuji
+ Went to Odaiba -- SAW VS ARASHI TENT AND VS ARASHI COIN TOWER PUCKS (I have pics I never shared them sorry ) and saw giant gundam
+ Stayed at a ryokan

....etc. etc. etc. etc. I don't think this list will ever end.

2009 was a rollercoaster, to say the least. I'm looking forward to 2010 although it's through some pretty terrified eyes. There's going to be a big change in my life, whether I like it or not.

I've also accepted a translators position at

ao_no_michi. I'll still be posting up small little projects here possibly, and most definitely will be continuing to post magazine articles here, so if you have any requests please let me know

With all that aside... I'd like to share something amusing.

My friend

daone_shh I met in Japan sent me a holiday card and I received it a few days ago. But, when I looked at where it was addressed to, I suddenly burst into laughter.

The United States of ~~Singapore~~ America

Tsemin, hun.. I couldn't tell if you did that on purpose or if it was a mistake. Either way, it made me laugh and sorry for making fun of you on my blog

Well --

HERE'S TO A WONDERFUL 2010 GUYS

yes, 3 earthquakes and a solar eclipse! It was really interesting! I never thought I would experience any of those things. Apparently the solar eclipse isn't going to happen again for 20 or so years, and it was only visible in Japan and part of Asia. I'm really glad I got to see it.

Thank you for all your support! You've been a really great and supportive LJ friend :) glad to have you around!

I'm curious as to your post, I'd like to see it when it's done :D

Have a great 2010 yourself!! :'D

Oh, well, you see, I don't fangirl on my personal LJ, since that would totally scare my family members, and they wouldn't read it anymore. Seriously.

I've got Arashi as my layout and for my icons... and there I got an email from my big sister telling she was completely overwhelmed by the amount of Arashi there was. She mentioned she would wait for emails to get news from me. ¬_¬

And I had tried not to scare them with my being an fangirl. x)

Haha... I'll tell you when I am done with that post. Isn't it quite... well, hard to look back at a whole year, to determine major events, how we've changed, etc? So, it might take me a while to write that post. I'll do my best to get it done by 2010. ;)

Ja, talk to you later! I'll go back to cleaning my room. It needs to be done at least once per semester, haha!! ;)

-- 20 years or so before another solar eclispe? Wooo... I remember there had been one when I was... a kid! I don't know. I was something like... 6 y.o.

Lucky you!! :D

It's almost 2010!
