Super Happy Tokyo Girl!!

just a quick post to say "im home!"
SO, im in Japan now.
AND, im at work now.

In New Mexico, i visited some places,
not many places since i've only got 3days but it was really good time.

my Dad and I used to left mom home and travel a lot together.
some people thought we're brother & sister,
some people thought we're bf/gf,
or, just single father and the daughter

anyway, it's always a wonderful travel when im with my dad.

SO, i visted Old Town, it was actually busy there since it was the balloon fiesta weekend.
and,
Petroglyph, it was really interesting. we walked around at 2 area actually. was really cool.
and,
we walked along Rio Grande River too.
When my dad visited there the last time, it was mid Oct.
so most of leaves turned to beautiful red and yellow.
my dad once told me about a kind of tree having beautiful yellow leaves.
it shine like gold rather than just yellow.
He wanted to show me the trees so we went to see the leaves at Rio Grande.

and, yess Balloon fiesta.
there's a balloon fiesta park in Albuquerque.
i watched some balloons on TV that morning,
but, couldnt see any balloons in real

we went to the park but there're just balloonist RV parking,
and so many cars.
thats it

the traffic was freaking busy so we didnt bothered to get there to see the festival
lazy huh?
anyway,
it was pretty nice trip.

btw, it was not easy to get in the US this time.
since ive already visited the US twice this year,
and the last time was only a month ago.
and this time, i was just by myself ( caz my dad was already in ALbuquerque)
so after tons of questions at US custom and the next check,
i finally got in the US

oh and, well,
the last day, when i leave to Japan, i missed the flight from ABQ
yep, it was alrady too late when i got to the UA desk.
and, almost all the flight was alrady sold out since most of balloonist went back home after the festival weekend.
it was pretty bad timing.
i waited another an hour at ABQ and finally got another filght ticket
Thank God, Thank UA, Thank Mike from UA ABQ i could go back home in a day!

so, here i am.
sitting at my desk,
getting ready to fight with tons of unread Emails and letters and re-scheduled schedule for CEOs.
gotta make a couple of phone calls to apologize my absence for last 3 days etc

also i have to check all the Emails i've received in my cellphone too.
couple of invitations for parties and love letters

wow i've been away from Japan only for 5days and already got 3 invitation for party?
i guess your ex-party girl is still a party girl for some people!

anyway, i gotta get back to work before my coffee gets cold.

i didnt take many pictures this time btw.
i wanted to enjoy every single moment, i wanted to see everything, smell it, hear it and just wanted to feel it with my skin and heart and with all my sense
i didn't want to see things through the lenses.

so, i didn't take many pics.

it was more important to feel the moment and keep the memory in my heart than keep them as photograph.

oops.
this post should have been a "quick post" huh?

i've alrady written too much i guess

anyway, see you guys soon!
I'll write something more with a few pics!

ただいまー
やっとこさ帰ってきました。
やっぱ週末だけ本土で過ごすってのは、大変ね。
時間が足りない足りない。
でーも、運転手がいるおかげで（←いやいや、パパなんだけどさ）有意義に過ごせました。
ちょっとパパの感覚が鈍ってたから、
思いっきり車線まちがって逆走してくれたし、
インターチェンジわからなくって隣の町まで走っちゃったり、
なんか楽しかったね。

今回は、税関で思いっきりひっかかり、行きはちょっと大変だったんだけど。
「一人？」
「はい」
「所持金は？」
「$100」（←ちょーバカっしょ。所持金$100だけで来るなんてどー考えても怪しいっつーの）
「え、$100?? クレジットカードはあるんでしょ？」
「あ、はいはい。ありますあります」
（なんだこの女ちょーあやしくねーって感じでジロジロみられたし）
「前回アメリカ来たどこでいつ、何日間？」
「先月、アリゾナ、１０日くらい」
「その前は？」
「ハワイ、２月に５日くらい」
「はーん」
（はーんじゃねーよ、って言いたかったけど、言えず）

その後もそんな質問攻めで、
結局税関パスしたあとも、また他で違うととこに連れていかれ、
グダグダ質問攻め。

仕事は？
なんで３泊とか短いわけ？
本当は何しにきたわけ？
何で一人なわけ？
アルバカーキでなにするわけ？
年収は？
とか。

「なんで１０何時間もかけてわざわざ来てるのに、３日しかいないだ、あんた？」
みたいな質問も、４回くらい聞かれてウンザリだったから、
「頭の悪い上司が休暇くれないから、しょーがないじゃん!!」
ってぼやいといたんだけどね。

しまいには、
「そんな旅行ばっかできるんだから、よっぽどイイ稼ぎなんだろーね　ねえちゃん」
見たいなこと言われ、
若干むかついて
「そーだよ」
って言ってやったわ。

そんなこんなで無事アルバカーキで楽しみ、
バルーンの大きなイベントやってんのに、結局１個も気球なんてみなかったし

帰りは飛行機逃して、
ちょーピンチだったけど、
ロスからの便を手配してもらって、なんとか帰国。
ありがとうＵＡのマイケル・スコット。
あんたのおかげで日本に無事帰れたわ。

では、またそのうち写真と一緒にアップしまーす♪バイバイ
