came home from japan.  it was really really nice being there, i didn't want to come back to america :(.  it snowed too and my sister and i made a snowman : D hehe.  going to my grnadpa's gravestone with the monk and putting his ashes away was really sad i creid alot at night.  i heard that before he past away he was telling all the nurses how we were coming down to visit him and what our names were and everything about us.  but no one lives forever.

i also stayed in kyoto for a while and visited alot of temples.  it was really nice. ate alot of good food and watched many good tv shows and shopped!  and my sister and i had alot of fun exploring in the hotel, hehe. 

now i need to do my homework, : (.  o well.  its really not that hard, just time consuming.  and there's a storm outside so can't do much out there anyways. i like the rain though. : D

my grandpa died today. in japan. and i was planning on going to japan on monday to see him before he past away.  he's still kinda young i think. i think it was all the cigarettes and alcohol.  anywyas, mom may have cried tears of awkward relief, but we both agreed that he was a really nice grandpa.

school's been ok. 

band's been good too.  except i caught my foot today in the elevator while tryin gto load the timpany.  but anyways....

but i'm still going to japan.  one week after someone dies the monk has a ceremony for putting away the ashes. so i'll be going to that. and then other than that i will be in kyoto.  in the snow.  : D

and then in march we get to host an exchange studentfrom taiwan! i already know her she is sooo sweet. i'm really excited. my whole family's excited !

math has been easy. and i've been procrastinating on the sceince fair outilne.  i haven't started. and its due tomrow. but i guess i'll do it sometime tonight. i still have paino lessons to go to. and i want to go to the mall real quickly (its close to my house) and get a gift for somebody.  : ( i'm afraid of the outline.  it hurts just thinking about it.

visit my myspace! : D

and yay last day of school tomorow.  its been 11 months since moraga.  wow. and, what, 4 or 5 months since camarillo?  aw, i miss that place.  happy holidays. 

thanksgiving, my anty and uncle came from san jose. and my aunt said my poor little cat looked like an HIV victim. goodness. i got mad but didn't show it and went to my room and knitted the whole day, 2 scarves. YAY.  hehe and it kept me warm today, i like scarves because i always feel like i can hide behind them somehow. 

wow total craziness today.  theres a huge fire O_O. and it was right above my school all day, and like half the school was gone.  and all the rich nice houses are burning. 

and they didn't evacuate us.  wierd. but i survived.  : )
