Preparing for studying overseas program

Now I'm planning to have study overseas program with my friend. We decided to go abroad at the middle of February. I submitted the application form to the agent. And I also deserved the round trip air ticket. I'm concerning about the fuel surcharge and asked the agent. I heard it would gone down to about half of the present price next year. So I asked whether I could be paid back the difference even if I reserved the ticket now. They say that I can get it if that price would be go down before it be issued.
We will be able to stay at the dormitory near by beach. But I heard we can 't swim there. Though we don't think of swimming there.
I talked with my friend who will go abroad with me about one hour by the phone today. we always contact with each other by e-mail. But I felt irritated it . I wanted to tell about what I was thinking immediately. So I have pain of my right ear due to long time calling.

Bad and good news.

My employee contract with the company will be finished by the end of the year. I mean I will be fired. I‘m only in temporary employment and my contract will last until March. But we are called by the president of our company and 30-40 workers there. They held the urgent meeting and had us gather.
They apologized to us deeply and explained that the reason they should fire us. I heard the company I am working now has been recession for some years. Now they need to reduce personel. The temporary staff will be fired first.
Some my coworkers were so angry with our company at that meeting. But I think it can't be helped. If anything, maybe I’m happy because I will be able to get unemployed insurance soon. I wonder I will have studying abroad around next February… it’s enough for me to look for work after that. Am I too easy-going?? But that’s my personality.:-)

Nora Wilder thirties, single woman living in New York, working at the hotel in Manhattan as the charge of VIP.
Her mother always worries about her and her best friend is married with the man that Nora introduced. She tries to get along with man but somehow things don't going well….
Nora wishes that she could meet the person who loves her that is plain.
But she is thinking that nobody might love her anymore…
She is pressed by work everyday with swaying wishes and anxiety.
Such a time she decided to go the home party that would be held by her co-workers for a change.
After all she couldn’t put herself into the party and she was about to go back to home.
Just then she encountered French man, Julien.
She was at a loss with his aggressive and passionate invitation at the moment they had met.
She had been dodged but they two were getting spent together naturally.
Nora was cowardice about love but she is gradually attracted by Julien
Finally she gets honesty about her mind and then Julien told suddenly that he had to go back to Paris. She was invited going back to Paris with him.
She couldn’t take a step forward even though she knew she love him because she couldn’t abandon her job and daily life.
And Julien left from her. She feels empty. It is wondering that she would go back to her daily life as if nothing was happened, or what…!?

I was shocked with my face...

I have a sty on my right eyelid. It had been itchy before going to bed last night. Maybe I scratched it while I was sleeping. I was shocked with my face when I got up this morning. My right eye was terribly swollen…I didn’t want to see anyone today. But I had to go to work. Anyway I decided to go to see an eye doctor first and after my visit his receptionist gave me eye drops. The effect of the eye drop was very fast. The swelling of my eye reduced rapidly.
I went to the office 2 hours late. Everyone asked me if I was okay when I got there. Piled up jobs were waiting for me. But I left office almost on fixed time. I supposed to eat dinner out with my co-works, but I canceled it.
I want to have enough rest on this weekend.

Japanese meals

I had been eating only junk foods and my eating habits had been disarranged last week. So I felt like suddenly eating real Japanese meals today and cooked the rice cooked with vegetables, poke sauté with grated radish and seaweed (I put too much wakame in it) soup.
There were no recipe and it was my original. But the taste was good. Besides it seems very healthy. I knew it I’m Japanese…Unfortunately I can never cook same things because I seasoned just my sense then.

I went out.

I went to Yokohama yesterday. I had to exchange TC to EUR for my winter trip to Paris. But there is no exchange house around my house. The nearest one is in Ohmiya city but I also wanted to go shopping. I always go to Yokohama for my shopping so I went there.
The exchange house was crowded because of a strong yen. I had to wait about 30-40minutes inspite of I got there on time.
After that I look around many shops around Yokohama station. I moved Sakuragicho close to noon. I had lunch at the restaurant, Harvest in Yokohama World Porters. I like that restaurant very much. It is an all –you- eat buffet and all meals are made of vegetables organically grown. It is healthy and so delicious. I always eat too much there.
After all I could not find what I wanted. But it was okay for me only getting EUR. It was my first purpose.
I was tired because of the crowd. I live in the unpopulated area. The people in the train decreased gradually as I approached my station. I feel sad at that moment.

cooking again

I cooked Pasta for lunch again. I could find the recipe by chance at the fish corner of the supermarket. The ingredients are salmon, Japanese mushroom, basil, garlic, olive oil, a little of lemon juice. The taste is very lightly. Actually it seems that I couldn’t remember that entire recipe so I might forget something to add it because I ran my eyes over the recipe during the grocery shopping. But I made it well how to boil Pasta today. I always boil too much, though.
