I feel more healthy now and motivated to start new things again. I spent a few weeks to look for a new work, and finally got hired Now I am working at the Service Center of one of the biggest JPN Camera companies in Sapporo. People bring cameras, printers, fax, scanners...etc to fix. I will be mostly at the front desk when the customers come, and also picking up the telephones for the technical related matters. I have started working there on this Monday, and now I am getting trained about the knowledge of Cameras and Printers. It's been...

Chizaki Rose Garden has more than 400 kinds of Rose from all over the world. The Garden is on the top of the hill and it has a great view of Sapporo city. We had ice cream with rose flavor. It was actually surprisingly good!

Since the salon sent me a discount ticket, I decided to use it today. The funny thing is that all the staffs at the salon know what I have been doing, where I was...etc. The first thing they asked me when they saw me today was "Manami!! How is your Spanish boyfriend?" I was like...Hhhhhhhow do you know it? The thing is that my mom also goes to the same salon and asks the same hair stylist as me. The hair stylist always asks my mom how I am doing. It is so funny that I don't really have to tell the long...

They are so Hao Chi!! One of my favorite dish is Thai Green Curry. I have learned how to make it there. And I used to cook it almost every week. And back in Japan...I was so dissapointed to find that coconut milk is so expensive here. They sell one can for almost 4 USD!! I could get it in Taiwan for 1 USD. And I was almost giving up the Green Curry...but but BUUUUUUUT, today I went to 100 yen shop (about 1 USD), and found the coconut milk sold for 100...

My parents are so into "GARDENING", and they are putting so much effort to make our garden more beautiful. Now I am also helping them to water the flowers once a day. I like the pink flower called Safinia. How do you like them? http://fantabulouslife.blogdrive.com/comments?id=89 http://fantabulouslife.blogdrive.com/archive/88.html Mon, 08 Jan 2007 13:25:22 GMT I have hold a party last Saturday at our new appartment. I always dreamed to have a home party and invite friends for dinner. And now it came true!! Now we have a perfect appartment to have parties. I have invited 8 friends home, and cooked a lot of food, Tacos, Fried Chicken, Salad, Sangria...etc. I really had a nice time. Anne and Elvina http://fantabulouslife.blogdrive.com/comments?id=88 http://fantabulouslife.blogdrive.com/archive/87.html Mon, 01 Jan 2007 04:07:20 GMT Happy 2007. May the new year will be even better for all of us! I had a pretty nice New Year Eve Party at Jane and Piero´s house. We had more than 20 people coming from Taipei, Taichunr and some other cities outside Taipei. I met a lot of new people there from France, Italy, Poland, Panama....etc. It is always nice to know people from all over the world. We had nice chat, food, drink and dance!! As it is becoming one of the biggest Taipei events, we had a spectacular fireworks from Taipei 101 building, the world tallest building. This time the fireworks cost 1 million US, and it...

I see Christmas decolations in the city, bus drivers wearing Santa's Red clothes, and people doing Christmas shopping. The time passes unbelievably fast. David is now flying back to Spain to spend Christmas and New Year with his family and friends. It's been a year and 2 month since he left Spain the last year, so he's been looking forward to this vacation at home. And especially his mom can not wait to see her baby boy after a long time. I was actually planning to go to Spain with him, but now I am with a new work and can not take any...

Very familiar look of street, smell of street food, noise...give me different impression now. I will miss them all. Yesterday I went for swimming with Paola. She is also facing now a problem that she can not do anything and only the time can solve. We are both sad and frustrated lately...so swimming is a good way to reduce this stress and feel refreshed. In the cold water...I swim non-stop for an hour getting things in order in my head. I always feel better after swimming. Paola and I talked for a...

We had Taiwanese Hot Pot for dinner and then we went out for the Taipei Night Life. It was Ladies Night last night, so yeah free of entrance charge!! First we went to the bar called Luxy...but none of us liked the type of music. According to Elvina...this bar is for kids. Yeah we are matured ladies...so we had one glass of drink there and moved to the next target...Carnegies!! Finally we found our type of music there...and danced and danced a lot. I really enjoyed the time with them. ... (more) http://fantabulouslife.blogdrive.com/comments?id=84
