Hello,

I skipped for many days. I was really sick actually.
I am going to talk about my hostmother. This is not a good one, so you can stop here if you do not want to read.

My hostmother has six brothers and one sister. She is the youngest one, and her family seemed to be very rich.
One of her brother was super rich and even chosen as the best business leader in North America two or three years ago. He used to take me a lot of fancy restaurants until he asked me to become his girl.
Anyway, he told me that my hostmother was really spoiled in the family. It is too natural for her to have someone who takes care of her.

Actually, I can easily noticed that. I have lived with her for two years and something.
I have thought of moving out a lot of times, but I could not find good one with good deal.
I usually tried to go somewhere as my trip to get out of my house every vacation since I cannot manage to be with her for more than three months.
This was the first time for me to stay at home in Seattle during vacation. That means it is the fourth month for me to stay here. My stress level is much higher than I was expecting. haha

She seemed to be laid off last month, so she is staying at home all day without doing anything.
Seriously, she does not do anything.
She has never washed her dishes. Yes, she just left her dirty dishes until I washed.
If I just ignore, she will just leave them forever... how disgusting.... I told her before, but she just said "I will do that after watching this TV show or whatever." You know, she is not a child.
Then Donna seems to do that. 

She does not cook. She cannot do anything by herself.
She has never took out garbage... She just leave all her garbage in front of my room.

I am just looking forward to leaving from this house now. haha
I am tooo tired of her selfishness. Almost all her friends hate her and stop contacting with her.
She also broke up with her husband (second time) while I was staying in Sweden.

Everything went really bad, and she started believing Jesus.
She listen to "I love Jesus song" at a loud volume all day.
She invites one strange woman every weekend for pray.
She starts watching Jesus channel all day. Yeah, very creepy.... I feel very uncomfortable, but I cannot really say that in terms of her religion.

She does not have money to buy food for me, Donna, and Kelly... but she keep reforming this house and buying new furniture...
I do not need a fancy house, just let us eat at first bitch!
She only cooks when her guests arrive at this house.

She is keep complaining about my new roommate, Kelly.
Actually, she is a bit strange, but a nice person!
My hostmom forces her to wake up if she sleeps until 11 a.m. on weekend.
She also forces Kelly to keep her door open even though Donna and I close our own door.
If Kelly does not follow what she said, I am also forced to open no matter what I am doing.
My hostmother keep saying "That tiny little girl is slut!" No way. You telling her slut are really slut.

I cannot really understand what kind of person my hostmother is even though I am being here for a while.
She used to be a really good positive person working quite hard. She has changed after I came back home from Sweden last summer and became super bad. (the time she broke up)

I can understand how sad horrible situation her is in, but she should not treat others based on her emotion.
You know, she is a host, and everyone thinks she cannot become host. I agree with that because of her character.
She is over 55 years old... She should be mature, seriously.

She hates kids, so she usually does not take care of her grandson... what is she doing?
Just calling around for five or six hours. She does not do any, but says "I cannot wait his parents pick him up"
Preston kept asking her to make lunch, but she just said, "Ask Seiko."
And when her daughter and the husband picked him up, she suddenly changed and said to Preston, "Do you wanna eat something? Grandma will cook for you before you leave" Bitch.
Preston told me that he hates her when we played together. 

I do not wanna complain, but I cannot handle what she has done to me anymore.
Everything does not make sense. She depends on me weigh too much and get everyone involved in trouble somehow. 
Even if I said something to her, she just ignored. How can I deal with her then?
Cant wait to go home in Japan!!!!!!!!

Hello,

I am going to skip today since I have to read three articles for tomorrow.
I do not know, but I am very busy this quarter for some reasons!

Have an awesome day!

Hello,

How are you today? I feel much better after drinking ten cups of tea! haha
I have to make sure to get enough sleep for my health.

Almost two months later, I can finally go back to Japan! (hopefully I can graduate by passing all courses this quarter) I noticed that I did not visit many places in the U.S....
I just went to San Fransisco, the area around SF, and Portland. That's it.
I did not go to New York, Boston, L.A., Florida, and Chicago.... Yeah, I miss a lot of chances to go there.
I was supposed to go these places, but I visited Sweden to see Anders instead.

Dr. Tam told that Seattle was the place where people come after their retirement.
I really thought so. I am not going to complain about this city, but I always feel like something is missing or it is just not the place for me.
Well, I do not have a car, so I might not know good points of Seattle though.
It does not mean that I do not like Seattle. I just feel I have no intention to stay here anymore in my life. haha
Why? well, I do not know, but it is not just the one for me.

I really think this city is a very good for old people to relax and enjoy their slow lives with nature; however, I think Seattle is not an appropriate city for young people to stay.
Maybe the reason why I do not like this city so much is that nothing really happens, and there are limited opportunities. This city is not really challenging and friendly city for the young.

One of my friend was studying in N.Y. and even working there after her graduation.
Everytime I heard her stories and life in there, I got soooo jealous. Yes, environment is constantly changing, and there are so many types of people and business existing there. Transportation is much better as well.
I remember she told me that she had a new discovery and event to see rich people, business leaders, and world-famous entertainers everyday. She seemed to learn a lot of fields from her life in N.Y. I was very envious.
It must be possible for me to have similar experiences in Seattle though, but I do not know.. I feel like that this city is not America. haha

Well, maybe because I am from Tokyo, I was expecting to have the same situation in the U.S.
Actually, I felt a bit tired of a city life when I was in Tokyo, but I noticed I still want to have that kind of life.

What if I go to Sweden? I love Sweden. I love Stockholm.
However, even though people over there said that Stockholm is a big city, I do not think so.
It is a very beautiful, clean city, but it is not big at all. Nothing really happens to the city as well.
I am going to live in Linköping, which is the forth biggest city in Sweden? something like that.
I really like the city, so I must enjoy. Why dont I basically complain about Sweden?
Well, I can go to anywhere in EU, in which each country has different cultures and languages very easily if I get some stimulus on my life. It is impossible for me to do that in Seattle because it is expensive to go around the U.S. anyway.


Well, even though I complain about Seattle, I got a lot of exciting, wonderful experiences here!
And I still enjoy my life here. I just do not have any time to do some activity due to a lot of homework.
It is just my perspective, so of course not everyone have the same opinion for this city.
I even think most international students want to stay in Seattle forever.

Again, I am not negative about it. I must miss a lot of chances and just complain about it.
If I feel so, I should make a time to go out and see around. Thats it. The solution is quite clear, isnt it? haha
I think no place is really boring. Sometimes, the place where people live is not matched with their demand though, yet whether it is good or not is really up to them or their action!

I am looking forward to my new life in Sweden, actually.
I lived there for five months in total, so I touched their culture a bit.
However, I am going to live there in a long span, so it must be interesting!!!!
I should treasure this chance I got from Swedish school. Tack så mycket!!!!!! Life is wonderful!

Hello,

I did not do anything today since I am super sick. haha
I will not do anything tonight as well, maybe just taking a rest and doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning up my room.

As you know? Anders and I have been in a distance relationship for two years and half.
Many people seem to be surprised by us because they did not believe we could manage it. haha
Honestly, it is just unbelievable for me as well. haha
I have not talked with Anders for a while because I was super busy of my full-time job and school works.
And now, he went traveling with his friends. haha

Sometimes, people ask me how to manage the distance relationship.
It is very tough for me to answer it because I am not sure exactly what we have been doing. haha
Usually it is regarded as negative, but I do not really think so.

Of course, it is the best for couples to be together, yet there are some good points (at least for me!)
Well, I know people feel lonely... I also know it is very expensive and time consuming  to meet each other.
However, nothing will really change when you think or complain about it.
Yeah, since we face the situation, we have to think about our distance relationship as positive.

I do not know it applies to you, but I will just talk about my perspectives.
Since we cannot see each other, we really try to talk everything that we liked, we found, got interested in, and inspired us. Yeah, communication becomes richer! 

Also, we tend to appreciate a lot when we get together as well.
Every small thing, such as eating dinner together, watching TVs together, playing games together and so on becomes special, which is important to make our life brighter.
Actually, I think about Anders more when I am apart from him compared with when I was with him. haha

I was really unstable because of my ex-bustard who blamed me and cheated on me a lot.
I just decided to break up with him because he was a demon. If I am allow to kill one person in this world, I will probably beat on him until he says stop.
I went drinking all nights everyday , and my liver finally did not work properly.
I could not believe anyone. I was just crying all day and went drinking all night. That was my life before I met Anders. Luckily, I got a super fancy job at the biggest Japanese telephone company, and I had something to do and got 50000 kr (500,000 yen) from the two month job though!

Anyway, when I met Anders, I was not good at all.  
At that time, I suddenly cried, blamed him, easily got envious, and got depressed.
Actually, it took a long time for me to recover from the difficulties.
I really think I would not be able to recover without Anders, and only he could manage to deal with my issues. 

People think we have always had a good time together, but we had a lot of difficult times because of me.
I really put a lot of trouble into him, made him sad without any guilty, and so on.
Actually, I was quite selfish, so I did not care about how Anders felt.
Yeah, there were a lot of dangerous time to lead us to break up almost, but Anders always stayed with me and tried to let me overcome those mental issues.

Actually, I am almost back to my original character because of Anders!
I could manage to back to a positive world from the hell. haha
He brought a lot of positive effect on me and my life.

I could not believe anyone before, but I noticed that there was someone who wanted to be with me and help me. I noticed that I was not alone and felt better.
After that, I also noticed being in love was such a wonderful moment in my life.
Everything looked very different. I finally remember feeling happy and fun! haha
Feeling his warmth makes me very lucky.

Since I was almost back to myself, I also became strong enough to control him. hahaha
We were very different when we met each other for the first time. However, we are getting similar now.
I become more stable in terms of my mentality, we have much less harder time than before.
I did not allow Anders to hung out with any woman and girl before (because I got trauma from the British bustard), but I do not really care about it now. I am totally safe and trust him.
Also, I am too busy of my homework and think about business plans! haha

And now, we have been together for two years and half. The first year was just mess because of me though.
I really appreciate that Anders has supported me until now and let me back to myself.

If you are with someone whom you love the most, please appreciate the moment.
Please care about the person more than yourself before it is too late.
Getting used to the situation and having less time with the person must be the most dangerous.
You know, it must be almost better to think about that you are going to die tomorrow so that you will treasure the person a lot. haha

If you have the situation as me and Anders, just keep going!
Someday, we will be able to be together. Or you can just quit what you are doing right now and go to the place where the person is. Just stay positive!

If you are single, enjoy your time! lol
Before, I used to think that I wanted to be single forever since I am totally free.
I really think most people who try to find someone usually fail to find the right person.
Just calm down and wait what will happen naturally. haha

Gambaro----!!!!!

Hello,

How are you? I seem to get sick now. I have not got sick for more than one year, so I was surprised. haha
Today is the last day of my long hour work. From next week, I will back to normal shift, which is awesome for my health. Now I am at school and waiting for my evening shift. haha

Okay, since I am sick, I am going to talk about the topic related to it.
Actually, when I came to the U.S. and also visited Sweden, I was very surprised.
Why? because all posters to prevent virus says "Wash your hands" only.
I was like "Are you kidding with me? You totally forgot one more important thing to do!"
Yes, "Gargling"!!!! In Japan, all posters at schools say, "Do not forget washing your hands and gargling!"
Therefore, when I see people just washing their hands, I always feel like "that is absolutely odd!"

Of course, Anders did not do that before.
I was totally shocked that Anders just washed his hands and told me that he finished! haha
I was like "No, you dont. I did not see you gargling."
I do not know whether he still follows my way, but he usually did both when he was with me.
Of course, we take virus from our hands, but mostly we take virus from our throats.
It must be good to remove all virus around throat when we get home.
I know it is strange for you to do that, but you should try it (actually, with green tea is the best according to medical report)!
My brother is studying medical stuffs, so I usually care about every tiny thing about health. haha
Why? Because if he notices that I get sick due to lack of knowledge, he might start talking about those things.haha

Of course, it is important for us to sleep a lot and eat good food. 
Actually, staying positive and laughing also enhance our immune systems as well.
It also helps our bodies become stronger toward stress.
On the other hand, if we feel a lot of stress, it weakens our immune systems; therefore, we tend to get sick.
I think anything is ok. Lets set up goals for our lives or find something that make you interest to keep us laughing and happy! haha
Yeah, life is wonderful!!!! :)

Oh, I was supposed to tell you a lie today, but I totally forgot about it! haha

Hello,

I was incredibly tired, so I even did not have energy to open computer.
I was even tired of breathing yesterday. haha

Anyway, how many of you want to have your own business in the future?
I guess some people might think about it, but I think very a few people will carry out the plan.
In my country, Japan, almost all people must say, "I do not think so." or "I do not know."
On the other hand, many of my classmates in my business program in the U.S. said, "I want to have my own business." I know many American people try to get their dream come true, but most of them end up to bankrupts. I learned the fact that people still start another business even if they went bankrupt with their business.
People must know only a few people can become like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs though. haha
Anders and I passed by Bill Gate's house by boat... Well, his house is not fancy compared with his neighbors who are also billionaires in terms of design, but inside of his house seems to be fabulous. Actually, his house is in a sort of hilly place, and he seems to build a lot of rooms inside the mountain? the hill.
I heard he has a library, aquarium, trampoline, and so on in his house. His house also seems to use a very sophisticated computer system to meet their needs and wants. Yes, his house is the most expensive house in the world! You might doubt, but he lives in Seattle. haha
Moreover, the CEOs of Starbucks (they started the business in Seattle) and Amazon. com also live in Seattle.



And Microsoft and Nintendo America are located in the place where I live. Microsoft is too huge, so it never ends. I even do know how large it is. haha 
Those companies are in my jogging course.

It is very interesting because American people are almost 100 percent different from Japanese people.
Japanese people really do not like uncertain situation, so they try to avoid something unfamiliar or taking risks.
However, American people do not care about those and usually think like "I'm gonna think about it when I face the situation"; therefore, they keep challenging new things.They tend not to like following people or working under pressure from others.

What about me? I am Japanese, and I prefer working at a company.
I was thinking about starting my business before, but I did not have any good idea that I think it is going to be successful.
I do not know why, but the more I study business, the less motivation for starting business I have.
I was even taking entrepreneurship though. haha

However, if I start my business, what field am I going to focus on?
Well, "environment" and "aging population" seem to be very trendy, so I will probably find something related to those.
I am a very boring person, so I have no eager to become like Bill Gates. haha

Hello,

I am almost dead... too short sleep because of full-time work and school.
I am sorry I am going to skip today as well. Hopefully, I can write some on Thursday.

Have a wonderful day!
