My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • It’s been a very busy week with a bit of reflection required. This morning I finally had some time to sort out my head a little bit and it’s all good, though I think I am a bit melancholy…. Work It’s always a bit tiring the first week of the term especially after coming back from two weeks of holiday. So, it’s a matter of returning to routine as well as getting things…

  • The time has been going quickly as I have been settling back into life in the Dhabs. I brought back with me a cold, so have been fighting to get rid of that. On a happier note, being reunited with my new beau has been very good! Awwwww!!! 😉

  • It was back to the real world for the Suzuki household yesterday, so I took the time to actually get some PhD work done. Yep, you heard that right, I worked on my PhD!!! The morning was fairly quiet with that. Then, I headed out to meet J for lunch as our last lunch date for my visit. Of course, before I got on the train I needed to indulge in a little…

  • From Days 9~11 we made a trip to Okinawa. It was mine and J’s second time to visit and E’s first. J found a really nice package that included a car rental, hotel with breakfasts + 1 lunch and a dolphin experience. Although it was still a little chilly for my liking, it was a great time and good to get away from the buzz of Tokyo life for a few days. [shashin…

  • It has been a busy few days! Friday (Day 8) was spent chillaxing at home for a few hours and then heading out for lunch with J. [shashin type=”photo” id=”8335,8336″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] We walked around in Tokyo (Omotesando) a bit, reminiscing of the old days when we would go out for a massage or drinks. We had a shocking experience at a Japanese souvenir shop, which rendered J miraculously speechless! Finally,…

  • Back in Tokyo and brought rain with me….WHAT?! So, I had the morning to myself and managed to actually do some work. I know, shocking! 😉 After a couple of hours of that, I went for a visit to the drugstore. Oh my gosh have I missed them?! I can spend so much time there wandering the aisles looking at what is possible. However, I must admit that going all natural and organic…

  • As part of my Japan visit, I decided to take the short two-hour flight over to Seoul to see my long-time adoptee friend, K. The last time I met up with her or had been to Korea was just before I moved to Abu Dhabi; thus it had been just over five years. As always, we picked right up where we left off and reminisced on days of old when we were young…

  • Today was a day of relaxation and eating! 😀 The morning kicked off with some Ethan-time looking at his programs created using Scratch – game software. It looked pretty cool. [shashin type=”photo” id=”8300″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] After relaxing and actually doing some work, we headed out to lunch – ramen!! [shashin type=”photo” id=”8302″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] It was delish! [shashin type=”photo” id=”8303″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] Then, J and I ventured…

  • Spring break has begun! Without wasting any time, I was on a plane to Japan to catch up with my BFF. 😉 P joined me for the flight over as she is on her own tour of Japan and we had the first night to hang out. J had everything prepared for me to relax and settle in before we whirled out to Roppongi for dinner and some night-time cherry blossom viewing. [shashin…
