Hello 2010!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2010 BE KIND!


I hope everyone can look back fondly on 2009 but be hopeful for 2010! This past year wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t the worst for me either. It was full of amazing surprises like having my friend from Japan visit!!

I already wrote my real resolution out earlier. About only buying the clothes I truly want instead of buy things I sorta like on sale. I hope to end 2010 with a smaller, but better closet of clothes! But I would also like to pick up studying Japanese more. I tend to go through studying spurts. I think I might study while in the tub, haahaaa! It would be a good 20 minutes to an hour’s time and I usually just use that time to flip through magazines

Tonight I’ll be spending it mostly with my family but plan to stop by a party too. I just wanna set off fireworks! It’s a big reason why I always loved New Year’s & a huuuge reason I visit my family on New Year’s ;P



FIREWORKS!

At the fireworks stand earlier today!~

Our fireworks ready to go!

Cabbage & black eyed peas! For luck and money in the new year!
Always gotta eat them on New Year’s Eve! It’s tradition!




Yesterday at my Grandparent’s I saw this really adorable owl plush under her Christmas tree. So she gave it too me!! She went to hand it to me and said “it’s even better!” and she squeezed him & he let out a cute little hoooooooot! He’s older than me too since he was made in 1981 in Japan



HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM US, HAAHAA!

happy new year~

i’ve never heard of the Cabbage & black eyed peas tradition! that’s sooo cute! i hope it works for you!! the only tradition i have is to clean EVERYTHING. since i was a kid, my mother would aslways clean the house like mad on NYE.

i’ve also resolved to study more japanese. i’m still in uni, so it’s really difficult to study supplementary material..or at least that’s the excuse i use. lol.
what textbook/material do you use to study?

Genki Ele. I book & workbook are my main studying books but I also have a few dictionaries, a kanji stroke book, and a book specifically focusing on grammar rules. The rest are just phrase books and old kana books I used when I was first learning.

HAAAPPPPPPPPPPPY NEW YEAR SWEETIE!

I love how fireworks are so illegal in Australia
and so shelf-bought in the USA.

LOL

Yea, here in the US it’s state-to-state. Most states don’t allow fireworks anymore (like mine!) so I love getting back to my home state where they ARE still 100% legal and probably always will be, LOOOOOOOL.

I actually feel the same way about 2009~ not too bad, but not outstanding either. I have a really positive feeling about 2010 though, so here’s to an awesome year to come! yy
