Sharing
I always wanted to write different thoughts in my daily life, and here I am back! Lately I have been friends with this gentleman and what I learned from him was sharing. Sharing is something I was not really familiar with. I wonder if it is my Japanese thing. When you think of food culture, in some places in the world food is served in a large portion in the middle of the table and people … [Read more...] about Sharing

May’s SkyDiving
Tonight I am filled with a great sense of achievement and exhilaration! Skydiving- you get equipped and get on the tiny plane, and jump out of the plane at 10,000 feet high. You freefall at 120MPH for 30 seconds or so, then parachute opens. It is funny that you actually can't feel that you are freefalling. You only hear the sound of the wind. You enjoy my skydiving experience, here you … [Read more...] about May’s SkyDiving
Thank you for reading
My motivation to write is the passion to share. Sharing what I think, feel, see, taste and more with my friends is my passion. I also have a Japanese blog, and I tend to be more active on that because I want to share my experience and thoughts with people in Japan through the blog. That even inspires me to try new things. And the readers leave comments. That's probably typical Asian thing, but … [Read more...] about Thank you for reading

I have been in love with San Diego … [Read more...] about Here I am
