I went to my dad's this afternoon. I need to pack up all of my stuffs left there two years ago. Yeah, my room has not been changed while I was in Canada. I didn't bring nearly any of them..
The room was mine for 12 years. Long time, eh? It has as many stuffs as the years I spent.
When I was in high school, I was a huge fan of Saint Seiya ( Knights of the Zodiac ) I collected many clippings and scrapped in an album book. ... Hmmm, good old days, my love went straight toward the Manga... When I found the album this afternoon, I just opened it and looked at it page by page. I kind of miss the feeling. I was young.
I also found other albums that have my memorable pictures. Ones when I was a kid, ones when I was in high school, ones when I was with my co-workers in a fast food restaurant, etc. etc. Woo, you know how irresistible it is to open them and go on a trip to the past... Damn, I need a year to pack everything..
I found it interesting when I saw pics of my 20 year-old mom, who passed away many years ago, in beautiful kimono. The year later, she started dating my dad. There were some pics of young dad and mom dating. Looked so intimate...
Gosh, I spent 4 hours but it didn't go smoothly at all... I should be a heartless Tin Woodman and work like a machine next time... No heart, work hard.
Besides, my nephews kept messing with me... They are cute and I like them a lot but.... I almost went crazy with frustration. Why do they get everything out of the boxes a second after I put it in??!! DON'T!! Pleeeeease!!!!
By the way, Yoshi and I share one car. I used it today so he was stuck in house all day today. I got back home 8:30 in the evening. I didn't prepare dinner for him. Poor Yoshi, he was waiting for me to bring him something to eat. Oh, good boy, good boy. ( petting him like you do to a dog.. heheh, )
実家が引っ越すことになったので、
自分の部屋に置きっぱなしにしているものたちを荷造りすることになりました。
んー。。
やっぱりだめですねー。
それなりに年季の入ってる部屋なので、思い出の品の数々にいちいち見入ってしまって。
アルバムなんかでてくると、もぅダメ！見ちゃう見ちゃう！！
今日は全然荷造りが進みませんでした（案の定）。。
来週運び出さなきゃなのに。。
今住んでるアパートは実家からちょっと遠いので、仕事のある平日にはなかなか行けませんので
次は心を鉄にして、機械的にもくもくと作業に勤しまねばです。

...u-uh, that's what crossed my mind when I was writing this. I didn't know what it was but I thought my episode sounded kind of familiar...
Thank you for your advice. I will be super careful not to throw away my precious memories!
I came from Minatukisan Blog.
I live in center of USA.
I read your father’s story.
Your father lost house, but he got big present from god.
It is you and your sister
Hey! Thank you for visiting my blog!!
It is really great to have you here!!
And I appreciate your words that my sister and I are gifts from God to my dad.
So you are in the U.S. studying English or something? I believe you are doing superb out there!
Great job!
And so was my husband. He was programming software for a printer. Anyway...
Life is not easy but I can tell that you are hundling it. Your three kids must have fun at the public school. and your wife will -- Like I was -- be adjusting herself to where you guys live and eventurely she will say ... "I don't wanna go back to Japan!!"
Ah, I really wanna go back to Toronto, Canada...
