Hello again diary,
On Saturday night, something happened! Me and my hubby were lost in the middle of nowhere! I'm writing it here because I had never been lost for long time, well, at least for the last 6 months, and I hope that was my last 'lost in japan' experience.
As usual, on Saturday night, we were on the way going to our cellgroup in Shibuya. We know the place, we always know the place, we know the way to get there, and we always know the way to get there. Months ago, I initiated a shortcut and it turned out to be wrong path! Since then, my hubby never trusted me anymore in giving direction and I never dared to initiate a shortcut again. But, last Saturday was sooo hot and humid, my hubby always can't take it when the weather is too hot, so I initiated a shortcut again!! This time I felt so confident. I guess, my hubby already forgot what's happening months ago.
Me: "I'm sure this must be correct. You see that Lawson store, looks familiar, rite? We must turn right after that."
Hubby: "Yes but I don't know which junction we must turn right."
Me: "I know which one! Don't worry!"
Hubby: "Don't be wrong this time" [we were still happily walking while holding hands].
..............[we were at the junction in front of Lawson store. I never expected that there were 2 junctions! Which one??]
Hubby: "I think, this way.. I can see houses from here"
Me: "No, this way! It's still very far, there's no way we can see houses from here"
Hubby: "Are you sure?"
Me: "Yes!!"
..............[15 minutes passed by and we really didn't see houses]
Me: "Hmm.. that's weird" [I started to feel so afraid]
Hubby: "?????" [sweating a lot, panic face]
Me: "........" [O God, he's going to explode, he's going to explode soon!]
...............[we walked and walked and walked in silence for 30 more minutes and there was no familiar house at all!]
Hubby: [stopped and bought green tea from vending machine]
Me: "Sorriiiii... Ini pie no? Ini pie no?" [It means: 'Sorry, how is it now?' I felt like crying]
Hubby: [was standing near the vending machine and drinking the green tea in silence]
Me: "Sorriiii.." [I could feel some tears in my eyes. When he's in silence, it is soooo scary!!!]
Hubby: "I shouldn't trust you"
Me: "........." [was running to any direction I could see, there was only one thing in my mind: find the place ASAP by myself, no need to bother him, it's completely my fault!]
.............[without my notice, he's following me. He's afraid if I would faint somewhere because I was running too fast while carrying a big bag of banana muffins that I wanted to share with my cellgroup friends.]
Cut the story short, he found me. He led the way. And we found the place. I would never give any direction again, never! ever! My peta skill is very buta. Amazingly, he was not angry! I guess, it's because he started to understand me, he started to understand the situation, he started to understand his own life that he's having a clumsy wife for the rest of his life!

Matsuri Festival
Monday, 18 Aug 08, 8.18am at home
Dear diary,
This morning is such a cold day, yesterday was too. I don't know why the temperature has dropped so much just over one night! Outside temperature is now 22C. Yesterday night was below 18C! Can you believe it? Two days ago, the temperature was still 34C!! Wow, this is Japan, the place where all the amazing and unexpected things may happen.
Yesterday afternoon, there was a Matsuri festival just in front of my apartment! It's a summer event in Japan. It started around 7am and it was still soooo happening when I left home for church at around 2pm. Lots of people were wearing the same Japanese traditional outfits walked around the neighbourhood by carrying statues (their Gods) on their shoulder. They kept shouting something like "Long life! Long life!" so loudly, some other people hit the drum and played other traditional music instruments, and some other people in their posts poured water from buckets onto those carriers! They carried around the statues to be released on the sea. Me? I woke up and got up from bed at around 10.30am and enjoyed the festival from my balcony.
Here are the pics:
Since then, the temperature dropped so much! Is it because of their praying? Or it's because the summer is over? I feel glad that I had chance to see this festival. Perhaps that was my last festival in Japan! That's why I took some pictures to remember this event forever..

Being a Submissive Wife
Friday, 15 Aug 08, 8.40am at home
Dear my diary,
For the last few weeks, I've been having not enough sleep. My mind is tired, my body has no strength, my heart is pounding hard, my eyes are so sleepy. Few days ago, on one good morning, I woke up very early and I prayed to God asking for His light.
Suddenly, there was a voice in my heart, which I believe it's God's voice, asking me "Are you ready to be a submissive wife if I show you the light?".
I was crying, I tried to bargain with God by saying "Yes I'm ready God, but.. but.. I have my own desire and You know it".
The voice was still in my heart "You are a wife. It's your duty to submit to your husband fully and to support him wherever he goes. He needs your support now!"
I was really crying, wanted to say "No, I have my own life and I should use it for my own benefit too!", after I struggled so hard in my heart, I prayed to Him "Please give me a peaceful heart, a heart that's only from God, to submit to my husband and to support him fully, whatever happens, wherever he goes, without complains!".
He already prepared my heart. I'm now prepared to face whatever happens in this near future.

Last Cooking Class
Wednesday, 13 Aug 08, 6.46pm at home
Diary, yesterday I just finished my cooking class and this is the last menu that I cooked. I put the picture here so that this prawn curry soup will be a sweet memorial forever. Now, no more cooking class. So, from now onward, I'll just use the menus that I've learned so far for the rest of my life?
How am I now? Yesterday, I was kind of happy and relieved that it's finally settled. Today, something just happened and it's unsure again. I'm really waiting for His confirmation.

Hullaa my diary,
Today is 08/08/08, what a good combination of number! Chinese likes number 8 so much since 8 in Chinese means being rich. 8 is also a symbol of never ending, it goes around and around and around with no ending.
Today is the day when Beijing Olympics starts. Today is the day when many Chinese couples in the world are queuing to get married. Today is the day when I feel so happy and excited! I really hope and pray that I'll lead a new life soon! That's what excites me lately! Will I get a good news today? As you know, my current mode is: waiting. Sometimes, waiting is something that's very boring since we never know when the waiting process will end. But, sometimes, waiting can be something that's very surprising since we never know what it will turn out, nobody can predict the future, rite? Me? I think I'm a kind of person who has long intestine. *what??!!* I mean, I'm very patient. In Javanese, having long intestine means very patient. Sometimes, I enjoy waiting while trying to guess what will happen, imagining what I should react if that happens, and thinking about what I should do if this happens. It's me, a dreaming girl!
I remember, whenever I received result of my school test, I felt like I didn't want to see the result straight away. I tended to wait for few seconds or few minutes or as long as I can wait to enjoy my excitement while I was trying to imagine what score I would get. What I should react if I get good mark; saying "Oh My God" for 3 times? clapping my hands? And what I should react if I get bad mark; laughing loudly and pretending that I get good mark? Then, I would slowly open the paper, and see the result, then the excitement would be gone as soon as I see my score, I would forget what I'd planned to react in this and that kind of situation. This is what I call waiting is something very surprising.
Anyway, since today is so special for most of the people in the world, will today be a special day for me too? *What makes you think so??* Because... because... after this... I'm going... to go... to... somewhere... 15 minutes away from home... to do... my weekly groceries shopping! Haizz... I guess today is just another day for me. But still, I'm so excited since my current mode is: waiting!

Hanabi Festival
Monday, 4 Aug 08, 2.34pm at home
Good afternoon, Ms. Diary..
Last weekend was very tiring for me. It was sooo hot and exhausting. Yeah, I managed to see hanabi on last Saturday! *_* << my eyes are full of fireworks.
Can you see the fireworks behind me? The small one is a hello-kitty-shape of fireworks! Can you see it? If you can't see it in the first 5 secs, you should keep looking at it at least for 30 secs while imagining the face of hello kitty. If you still can't see the hello kitty in 30 secs, then you must know that I'm bluffing you. Yes, it's not hello kitty, it's doraemon-type of fireworks! Hihihi.. So sorry. Please look at it again more carefully. Can you see the doraemon face now? If you can see the doraemon face, that means you have a great imagination! Honestly, there is no hello kitty, there is no doraemon, there is no Nobita, there is no Suneo, it's just errr... a firework! I hope you don't fall on my trick for the second time. Anyway, there were really some hello kitty, doraemon, mickey mouse shape of fireworks on Saturday. I just didn't get chance to take picture since it happened so fast. The technology of fireworks in Japan is just soooo amazing!! Really, I was so amazed to see it!
On Saturday, we reached there at 6pm. Our friends already arrived there few hours earlier to book the place. There were really thousandssss of people over there! Most of the girls there were wearing Yukata (Japanese summer dress). As you can see, I was not. I was wearing my Indonesian summer dress, which is shirt and shorts; red and white. I feel like celebrating national day since I was wearing red and white. I guess I was really born to be a true Indonesian. Now is month of August, and all of a sudden I really love to wear red and white. Blood is really thicker than water. Indonesia, Merdeka!! Anyway, do you see the lanterns? I was really glad to see those. You know what? I watched a Japanese drama "1 litter of tears", there was one setting taken during the Hanabi Festival where there were many lanterns along the street. I feel like Aya (the movie star in "1 litter of tears") for walking along the street with full of lanterns, being one of the thousands of crowd, carrying kipas all the way, passing by the food stalls that are selling Japanese traditional foods, buying some snacks and drinks, finding the spot to watch fireworks, sitting and watching the fireworks, taking pictures, and screaming "WaAAaa.. Kireiii..!" like the rest every time great fireworks came out. Everything was like in the movie except for one thing, I didn't collapse like Aya in the middle of the street.
Now I know what Hanabi Festival is. One more curiosity that I really want to find out before leaving japan, which is the 3-colors-leaves in autumn. Will I be able to see it?
-Abbie-
p.s I don't know why my eyes are so widely opened like popping out when I'm so excited. Haiz.. I shouldn't be too excited.

Will I See Hanabi?
Friday, 1 Aug 08, 9.12am at home
Hi my lil diary,
Today is the first month of August. Time really flies. Time still goes by no matter we are prepared or not. Time still passes by no matter we're following or not. For now, I feel like, everything around me moves so fast, everyone around me goes on with life, and how about me? I'm also moving, you know! But, I'm moving in slow motion. I'm moving to where the wind blows me, I'm moving to where the crowd pushes me, I'm moving to where I should be dragged to, I'm moving to where there's an enough space for me to be in.
I have lots of things in my mind. I have dreams! I have desires! I have wishes! I have future plans! I have LIFE! I already took ages to brainstorm what's in my mind, I just need one opportunity to make it in action. Will my dream come true? Or should I just make it becoming a dream forever? Haizz.. I've been talking about this subject many many many times. I know you are bored reading this again and again, diary.. me too!! I'm also tired writing this again and again, should I just copy it from my previous posts and paste it here then?
*Change subject! Let's just talk about your current life.* Eh? My current life? eHemm.. errr... just now I was just telling you about my current life.. Should I continue? Ok, seriously, my life is still the same. It's just that "I'm waiting for something". I'll tell you when the time comes. *What are you waiting for?* Errr.. Hanabi! Yes! I'm expecting to see fireworks this weekend**(T&C apply, see below)! ^_^ This will be my first hanabi event in Japan although we've gone thru 2 summers in Japan. Now, next question is; should I buy Yukata, diary? Because I'll just have the chance to wear yukata this one time only, will it worth to buy? And the sandal jepit theklek kayu? For sandal jepit, perhaps I still can wear this waterproof-sandal-jepit in toilet next time. I regret that I didn't bring the sandal jepit WC "swallow" from Indo last time. Fyi, this is the Japanese tradition to wear Yukata plus sandal jepit when they go seeing fireworks in summer. Should I also buy the dompet kempitnya? And the kipas? And the hair accessories for my konde? And the belt? Of course I'll need the belt. And the accessories for the belt? The ribbons for the back side, and the flower for the front side? And the matching earrings? Haizz.. why do girls have so many things to buy? Now you know why my hubby seems reluctant to go to see fireworks, rite?
-Abbie-
Terms & Conditions
**If I can persuade my hubby to go.
**If the weather isn't too hot.

Hi my lil diary,
Today is the first month of August. Time really flies. Time still goes by no matter we are prepared or not. Time still passes by no matter we're following or not. For now, I feel like, everything around me moves so fast, everyone around me goes on with life, and how about me? I'm also moving, you know! But, I'm moving in slow motion. I'm moving to where the wind blows me, I'm moving to where the crowd pushes me, I'm moving to where I should be dragged to, I'm moving to where there's an enough space for me to be in.
I have lots of things in my mind. I have dreams! I have desires! I have wishes! I have future plans! I have LIFE! I already took ages to brainstorm what's in my mind, I just need one opportunity to make it in action. Will my dream come true? Or should I just make it becoming a dream forever? Haizz.. I've been talking about this subject many many many times. I know you are bored reading this again and again, diary.. me too!! I'm also tired writing this again and again, should I just copy it from my previous posts and paste it here then?
*Change subject! Let's just talk about your current life.* Eh? My current life? eHemm.. errr... just now I was just telling you about my current life.. Should I continue? Ok, seriously, my life is still the same. It's just that "I'm waiting for something". I'll tell you when the time comes. *What are you waiting for?* Errr.. Hanabi! Yes! I'm expecting to see fireworks this weekend**(T&C apply, see below)! ^_^ This will be my first hanabi event in Japan although we've gone thru 2 summers in Japan. Now, next question is; should I buy Yukata, diary? Because I'll just have the chance to wear yukata this one time only, will it worth to buy? And the sandal jepit theklek kayu? For sandal jepit, perhaps I still can wear this waterproof-sandal-jepit in toilet next time. I regret that I didn't bring the sandal jepit WC "swallow" from Indo last time. Fyi, this is the Japanese tradition to wear Yukata plus sandal jepit when they go seeing fireworks in summer. Should I also buy the dompet kempitnya? And the kipas? And the hair accessories for my konde? And the belt? Of course I'll need the belt. And the accessories for the belt? The ribbons for the back side, and the flower for the front side? And the matching earrings? Haizz.. why do girls have so many things to buy? Now you know why my hubby seems reluctant to go to see fireworks, rite?

I'm Crying Out Loud to You
Tuesday, 29 July 08, 9.36am at home
Ketika kuhadapi kehidupan ini,
Jalan mana yang harus kupilih,
Ku tahu ku tak mampu,
Ku tahu ku tak sanggup,
Hanya Kau Tuhan tempat jawabanku.
Aku pun tahu ku tak pernah sendiri,
Sbab Kau Allah yang menggendongku,
Tangan-Mu membelaiku,
Cinta-Mu memuaskanku,
Kau mengangkatku ke tempat yang tinggi.
Janji-Mu seperti fajar pagi hari,
Dan tiada pernah terlambat bersinar,
Cinta-Mu seperti sungai yang mengalir,
Dan ku tahu betapa dalam kasih-Mu.
Betapa kumencintai,
Segala yang t’lah terjadi,
Tak pernah sendiri jalani hidup ini,
Selalu menyertai.
Betapa kumenyadari,
Di dalam hidupku ini,
Kau slalu memberi rancangan terbaik,
Oleh karena kasih.
Bapa, sentuh hatiku, ubah hidupku,
Menjadi yang baru,
Bagai emas yang murni,
Kau membentuk bejana hatiku.
Bapa, ajarku mengerti sebuah kasih,
Yang selalu memberi,
Bagai air mengalir,
Yang tiada pernah berhenti.

An Honored Guest is Coming
Tuesday, 22 July 08, 8.46am at home
Hellow my dear diary,
Last weekend was a long weekend since yesterday was public holiday in Japan. You know what? 21 July is Japan national holiday to celebrate the ocean! It's called Ocean Day (Umi no Hi)! The day marks the return of Emperor Meiji from a boat trip to Hokkaido in 1876 so we should say thanks to the ocean for making the Emperor Meiji came back safely. Cute, isn't it? Yes, Japanese is really cute in choosing national days for their country. Anyway, I don't care, I just want holidays.
Tomorrow night, my pastor is going to come to my home, for his second time. He said that he just wanted to visit us, but hopefully it's because there's a message from God to us that he's going to tell. I really welcome his coming, but, only one concerns me; my sofa! *Sofa makin tua, giginya tinggal tiga!* Since my last post about my sofa, me and my hubby had an agreed-technique on how we both should sit on the sofa. Nothing new, nothing spectacular. We just sit on the sofa with pasrah-mode on! I sit at the right side (the right side still had 3 supporters) while my hubby sits at the center (the center part has no supporter). You can imagine what happens. Usually I'm dragged to the center of sofa and we both duduk amblong ke bawah dan terjepit. But, we just let it be because that's the only way we could sit on the sofa.
Now, the 3 supporters at the right side had also collapsed, only left with 3 supporters at the left side. That makes us more terjepit and susah keluar. But, I keep sitting at the right side while Ron keeps sitting at the center. *Why?* because there's no supporter anymore and we are free to sit! *Why??* Because we won't be disturbed anymore with a loud sound of "dOeNKk!" followed by proses makin terjepitnya our backsides whenever one supporter collapses. *Why???* It's because it happened to us many times when we were watching Tukul Empat Mata, we laughed like crazy, our backsides unconsciously put more pressure to the sofa, and the loud sound of "dOeNKk!" and the movement really shocked us, you know! We thought of earthquake because earthquake happens in Tokyo very OFTEN! Then we stopped laughing, looked at each other shockingly, and the Tukul was not funny anymore. You know what I mean, rite?
Anyway, actually we have no problem sitting on our sofa recently. But now, our pastor is coming! An honored guest is coming!
- We can't let him sit on the sofa and terjepit bertiga with us.
- We can't let him sit on the floor.
- We can't let him sit on my green study chair while seeing us pretending-duduk-nyaman-padahal-terjepit on the sofa.
- We can't let him know that my sofa giginya tinggal tiga!
Let's see what we can do tomorrow. Please help me think, diary!

Exactly One Year in Tokyo
Thursday, 17 July 08, 3.55pm at home
Hey diary,
Today is a special day. I've been staying in Tokyo for exactly one year today. One more hour then it's exactly the time when I arrived Tokyo one year ago. Phew, time went by so fast. I've gone through the whole four seasons here. Actually I missed autumn. I mean, I was here during autumn but I didn't enjoy the popular Japanese colorful yellow-orange-red leaves! *Why?* I completely forgot about that! I was still in the process of adaptation to this new environment, I was still busy settling down myself, and I was busy balancing my savings with high expenses here. So, having holiday was on my last priority list. Stupid me. But, it's okay. God gives me another opportunity to enjoy the fall this year.
Ok, now is a perfect time to see a mirror. When I first arrived Japan, many things were in my mind. I really wanted to know what would I be doing one year later.
- Would I have bought a house and settled down?
- Would I have mastered Japanese language?
- Would I have found my ideal job and worked comfortably?
- Would I have adapted to this Japan environment?
- Would I have found friends and community?
- Would I have adapted to my husband's life style, considering that I had just got married?
- Would I have had a baby?
- Would I have dressed up like Japanese girls and worn a pair of high heels boot, at least once?
- Would I have changed my hair style finally, considering that I had already been using this hair style for more than 10 years?
- Would I have been able to cook a decent meal for my husband, at least one menu?
- Would I have recovered from 'high-living-cost shock'?
- Would I have slimmed down and reached 48kg?
- Would I have climbed up to Mt. Fuji 10th level?
- Would I have had my confidence of bathing nakedly in public and experienced Japan sauna (onsen)?
- Would I have saved good money?
- Would I have planned to go back home?
- Would I have gone back home???
These are just some of the questions that were crossing into my mind. You wanna know the answers for each question? Yes? No? Don't care? Up to me? Ok, I'll give you the answers briefly here: no, no, no, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, no, yes, yes, no, no, no, yes, yes, no. Sorry if it's difficult to match the questions with the answers. So, there are 8 Yes and 9 No. What does it mean? Am I doing well? Do I pass? Do I fail? Ah, I should just make one more question to make it even. "Would I have mastered house-cleaning-skills?", my answer is "Yes". So, 9 Yes, 9 No. Not bad.
So, now what's the next thing? Wait for July 17th 2009 and answer these 18 questions again and compare and analyse? Haizz.. this list is so useless. What am I doing here?? Would I have done something useful, at least once??

Kejadian Misterius di RSCM
Wednesday, 16 July 08, 1.13pm at home
Hi Diary!
I received an email from my friend. It's a BIG news! So I upload it here. Sorry, it's in Indonesian.
Ada kejadian aneh di Unit Perawatan Intensif (ICU) RSCM, ditemukan indikasi para pasien yang memerlukan bantuan pernafasan selalu meninggal di tempat tidur yang sama pada kamar yang sama dan selalu pada waktu yang sama yaitu Jumat Pk. 08.00 pagi tanpa peduli umur, kelamin, kondisi atau latar belakang penyakit.
Hal ini sangat membingungkan para dokter dan beberapa ahli bahkan berpikir bahwa hal ini ada hubungannya dengan supranatural, mengapa selalu pada hari Jumat dan pada tempat tidur yang sama?
Lalu para dokter memutuskan untuk menuntaskan kasus ini dan menyelidiki penyebab dari beberapa kejadian tersebut.
Begitu tiba hari Jumat, semua orang di rumah sakit tersebut menunggu dengan tegang apakah kejadian buruk itu akan terulang kembali? Lalu dibaringkanlah pasien baru rumah sakit itu di sana. Beberapa dokter sudah memegang tasbih, quran, alkitab bahkan sebagian lagi memegang bawang putih, salib kayu dan benda-benda suci lainnya untuk menangkal iblis...
Sementara sang pasien tetap terbaring di sana, seiring dengan berjalannya waktu... pukul 07:00... 07:30... tepat sebelum waktu keramat itu tiba... Pintu kamar tersebut terbuka...
....................................................
Kemudian masuklah Tukimin... part timer cleaning service untuk hari Jumat... dia langsung mencabut kabel alat bantu pernafasan pasien dari stop kontaknya lalu.... menggantinya dengan vacuum cleaner dan mulai membersihkan ruangan.

Summer Has Come!
Monday, 14 July 08, 2.26pm at homeGood Afternoon, My Dear Diary..
Today is such a hot day! I think the temperature outside is now more than 32 degree Celsius. Summer has come. Now I'm at home, typing in front of my laptop, with windows all open, but still there is no wind blowing, so I have to kipas-kipas myself. Because of this hot weather, my laptop had once been crashed so I have to be careful with it to not let it too hot now. I fell sick because of this 'weather shock', so did my laptop. So now you can imagine how busy I'm kipas-kipasing while writing this diary, rite? I have to kipas-kipas for myself and kipas-kipas once a while for my laptop. I take the positive point from this, which is, firming my arm! *Only your right arm?*
Last nite I had a weird dream. In my dream, I had a phone call from a famous TV station and they invited me to do 'demo masak' in their TV show! Wasn't it an amazing dream? Although I do dream to be a famous movie star but I never dream to be a famous cook. In my dream, I was panic choosing my best menu. And you know what? I chose to cook spaghetti and martabak goreng. Well, I know, those are not compatible meal set but I really did it! *Lately you don't have a great sense in choosing menu for special event* It's just a dreammmmm.. forget it.
Diary, isn't this a beautiful pair of sandals? It's my sandals! Ha Ha Ha! *So what?* Well, it's not my new sandals. I bought it last year and I stopped wearing it because my feet were so hurt. Yesterday, I was wearing it again after pausing for around 11 months. I thought, time would have healed the pain, time would have changed the sandals' softness. People also say that we must wear the new sandals enough till our feet get used to it and they won't get hurt anymore. So, I decided to wear it again.Here is what I got:
- x < 700m = feet are still ok.
- 701m < x < 1000m = there were some red scars at the sides of my smallest toes.
- x > 1001m = there were two air balloon at the sides of my smallest toes.
- x = 24hours = the two air balloon were still there.
I tried to take picture of my smallest toe but it was too ugly no matter from which angle I took the picture from, no matter what design software I used to touch it up to make it a little prettier. The ugly part is not only about the balloon, but it's about my toe's nail! My smallest toe's nail (right foot) is black now. It's because when I was around 10 years old, I accidentally menendang pispot adikku dan terpeleset oleh 'air' di dalamnya sehingga jentik kaki sebelah kanan mencium tembok dengan lumayan kerasnya sampai berbunyi, sampai 'air' dari dalam pispot menyiram seluruh kakiku, dan sampai terjadi pendarahan di jentik. I have tried to cut the nail as short as possible with a hope that it would grow normal after that. But why is it still growing so black even till now? I'm wondering if that black thing is because of the pendarahan or because of the magic 'water'? Anyway, I don't want to post the picture here. I don't want to spoil my pretty little diary.
Time to cook dinner now. See you diary.. *Hey, how can you still cook when you were just utak utik your black-nail-jentik??*

My Wedding Flower After 1 Year
Wednesday, 9 July 08, 4.20pm at home
Hellow my diary,
I just received a picture from my cousin. One of my cousins whom I gave my wedding flower to, remember diary? Yes, she sent me the picture of my wedding flower!! This is the flower that I used in the wedding reception on 8th July 2007. It's very amazing that the flower is still very beautiful. It's probably because my cousin keeps it so well. Isn't it still so beautiful, diary?
Thanks so much for keeping this flower so well, Ci!! I'm very very touched to know that, really..
She puts this flower in a pretty glass vase and puts it on a table near the dining room. I'm wondering if this flower is also a mascot of me in my cousin's house. I'm also wondering how my one other flower is now doing in my other cousin's house.
