So, this is Christmas!

So I've been tagged by LadyDivine. In fact this is the first time somebody tagged me, so a big thanks LD!


What have I done this year...

Moved to Japan.

Taught myself to cook, and lived to tell the tale after eating them.

Endured the pain of the death of my love.

Seen a 'just friend' turn into one of the best, which I'm ever so glad for.

Failed to understand some others, and kept getting hurt.

Bungee Jumped.

Eaten a Snail, and actually liked it.

Been to the highest point of Japan, a staggering 3776 meters from sea level - the top of Mt. Fuji.

Felt so lonely. Really really lonely.

Started blogging. And felt so comfortable doing it. Not to mention the joy of it.

Made some friends online, most of whom I haven't even seen.

Seen my favorite author die.

Seen my cat die, at the age of 18. Loved her so much.

Changed. A lot. In a way I thought I never would.

Bought an iTouch, only last night. :)


Hmm... so not bad. When I went through it a second time, it seemd a great mixture of real extremes. And I'm still alive after all that. Also seems it's an year of death.

Wish the next one will be better...


And here I tag Sabby, Serendib_Isle, Pradeep and Sach.

  5. First of all, my condolences on your tragic loss...

    Since you live there, you probably know this already - every year, the Japanese pick a character whose meaning represents that year.

    For you, I suppose this is the year of Death.

    Here's to hoping that next year will be much brighter!

  8. Hi, Sachintha,
    Sorry to hear about the loss. I too climbed Fujisama, twice. Also Hotaka range (Okuhotaka dake,) near where you live.
    I will be over in Japan closer to Xmas. Great to get to know you!
