well we've all experienced what summertime is going to be like for me here working...I'll barely have time to get on here at all to do or say anything....Anyways, it's SATURDAY over here now, not Friday...lol I'm done fussing with this thing on the date....I'm so happy I have the whole weekend to myself I don't have to worry about anything....I found the link to the Hotel we stayed at...I still keep calling it a resort cause they had everything a resort would, but anyways, they seem to have more pics than me so just wanted to share them too, cause I didn't seem to get everything....http://www.laguna-garden.jp/english/facilities/ they have a really really beautiful website...it looks exactly the same as when I was there...it's fun just looking through it, cause even I didn't see everything...like those Japanese rooms....I think the website shows it better than what little I could on here....have fun u all=) take care I"ll talk with u soon....

hi once again....I finally got a chance finally finally to get the rest of my pics posted on here!!!! I"m so sorry that it took me so long to get the rest of them on here, but I am kept so busy these days, I can hardly stand it sometimes....these mostly just show what it looked like there where we were staying at the resort around the pool area and indoor pool area with hot tub.....too niccceee of course....I loved it there, and the waterfall by the outdoor pool at night was lit up in different colored lights... I didn't get a pic of that, cause when it was actually night, I had forgotten my camera upstairs, and the place was soooo big, I wasn't in the mood to go all the way back up then down again, and try and find my way outside with the millions of glass doors they had there that all looked the exact same to me.....We were on the 7th floor, and it was looking out into the ocean, so you can see the view I had...compared to what I have to look at everyday here, I thought I was dreaming at first....still no regular sand beach, as u can see...it's all jagged rock with water, and somehow they call it a beach.....everything was great, except the ridiculous baseball game they kept having going on outside, and I could hear them constantly yelling....I didnt' exactly want to hear that but nothing I could do about it...It woke me up the whole time I was there, cause they would start playing baseball at like 6-7 in the morning....Start at the bottom and go up...I messed this up again, and the pics that were supposed to be first, are the last ones, and the last ones are on the top, but I'm too tired to do it all over again.....but these are the rest of my pics...I thought I had more than this, but I guess not....so hope you all enjoy seeing a bit of Okinawa Japan....it's nice at first, but believe me, you get sick of seeing this so much after several years, and you can't go anywhere but north, south, east or west.....I'm sure it will mean something in the later years from now....nice memories at least....I will be putting pics on here all summer long, of different places, so I can't wait to share them!!!! hope you all are doing great in your little place in the world....can't wait to talk with u on here...take care....=) xxxx

hi good morning I'll add more pics on here later!!!! have a good day everyone!!!!

hi happy Monday everyone....I just thought I'd stop by and put a few of my pics up from over the weekend and tell a few of my funny stories to give you all a side-splitting laugh....or that's what it would be I guess to others once they hear it cause it was to me at first.....I'm so glad to be back on here finally....I felt like I was gone forever and I had a constant ache thinking about the friendships that I"ve made over the past year on here...wow how they have grown....I'm so happy to know u all honestly it means so much to me being stuck over here on an island and just feeling so suffocated all the time....I think I will just add a few pics every night this week until I get them all on here, cause there are so many, and it takes so long to get them looking right on here....I should have them all on by the end of the week hopefully....hmm well, I hope to put everyone or most everyone in a good mood, or back in a good mood...for some reason I keep sensing some aggravated hostility on here or just irritation...not sure what it is really, maybe everyone is just ready for a vacation to get away from it all...even being on here, cause u even have to keep this up if u are on here all the time....Anyways....it's rainy season over here now, and we have these huge huge snails as big as your fist when you double it up all over the place...I don't see them too much around here where I live, but they are all over....I only have one plant of my own, which I have to give up next year when I leave here, so that's gonna hurt since I've had it ever since I moved here and it's still going...yes I've managed to keep it alive this long...that is a record for me....I've never had a problem with the snails messing with or eating around on my plant, so I've never paid much attention anywhere else....we have huuggggeeee gigantic leaves here as big as your head and as long as both your arms....maybe even more...I heard someone talking they grew one of those huge huge plants, and just overnight, the snails ate the entire thing up, leaves and everything....they got so mad that they went out there and was shaking a box of Epson Salt all over them to try and get rid of them....I was just kind of standing there listening to this sick description, and then it hit me that this was actually funny......something that would make my knees give out from laughing so hard if I had actually been there seeing this...not anything that I would do ever, but I'd watch it, and get an ultimate kick out of it....I'm not sure how something sooo gross can turn out to be so funny, but I guess when you are mad enough at something, you are willing to do just about anything to get rid of it.....but it doesn't take much for me to get a laugh out of something.......hmmm nothing new here of course same old stuff as usual....just few more weeks until summer but it's already so so hot....I really miss having all 4 seasons like we did before....not too much longer I hope.....okay guess I"ll start downloading some of my pics since it could take the rest of the week for me....miss u all hope we get to chat soon even though I"m gone a lot nowadays....take care everyone thinking of uuuuuuuuuuuuuu......xoxoxo (these are just pics of the room there....the beds are like this all over Japan no matter where you go, since a lot of families go to those places and well...don't need to explan that one really lol .....not much to it, as you all can see, but the scenery made up for it hands down......it was really really gorgeous there and i already miss it......I"ll post some more on here tomorrow...take care everyone....

hey there everyone...I hope you all had a great week and it finished out okay for you....I'm sorry for the long gap inbetween my last one and this one...everything just kind of got away from me, and I had my time at the resort come and go tooo fast....I just got back earlier today, and I have a ton of pics to share....I can't wait to get them all on here finally to sort them out and tell what they are....It was a great great time...I didn't miss being here at all, but just the thought of still being on this revolting island still depressed me even though I was away.....about 20 min away not 2 hours like I thought....Anyways, last week sometime I woke up and had completely **HAD IT** with this place....I just had something snap inside me that hadn't snapped in a long time, several years I think......No matter who I tell or who I talk to about how I can't stand it here, I always get the same responce cause they are bored with hearing it from me...."yah we've all heard it a million times before....." How much I can't stand it here, and can't wait to leave next year..... how I was meant to be traveling since that is what I went into for my life long career, not being cemented in one dumpy place on this island for the rest of eternity...how I'm not supposed to be here with a bunch of other boring people who don't know any other places in the world exsist besides this one boring scalding hot island....etc...etc....I was sick of getting snapped at and being told they have heard it all before, it was nothing new, and not sure what else....so...I'm not sure what got into me but when I got time to myself, I went to travel agency, and started planning for trip to Australia next year in 2010 before I leave here...so there. there is something no one else has heard before....I'm only telling my friends right now, cause I haven't said a single word to my family or anyone else back home about it...I think I will tell them like a month before I"m supposed to fly out and let them be freaking out about it the whole time I'm gone from here....sorry I just couldn't take it here anymore, and didn't wanna wait until I leave before the holidays next year to fly out to who knows where next from here...yes it's driving me crazy toooo just like it is everyone else where I"m going next from here...I"m tooooo excited....I'll be in Sydney mostly....I just go from one big city to another...I don't have any idea what on earth I"m supposed to do in some small town. so now I"m tooo excited, and have something else to look forward to besides counting down each and everyday here, and looking forward to leave....I'll be going somewhere**on my own** (well with group actually, cause I"m terrible at trying to find my way around another country) but without anyone else with me every minute from here....So it pays off not doing the 500 things things that they have going on around here each month....yes I"m being honest, they announced it was over 500 events going on around here each and every month, and of course I care nothing for not even one of them...this isn't the only place on the planet earth...I don't understand why anyone else who comes here can't see that as well.....okay whatever then... I'm too much into doing what I want still I don't care where I'm at...and besides I seriously need a break from this place...I'm not an island person at all...there is no where to go here unless u fly out somewhere else, so that is what I'm going to do...anyone who wants to meet me there, feel free too...I will show u what it's like to have a blast when u are with me away from everything and everyone u know or who recognizes you.....so I can't stop feeling all jumpy inside now cause I have Australia to look forward to now....it's soooooooooooooo hard not talking about it constantly here, but I don't want anyone else to know that until I come back from it completely...I can't stand the jealous attitude towards me....I can do that sort of thing...just pack my bags and leave...I decided that lifestyle when I was like 12 I didn't just come up with that idea....others however have obligations which don't allow them to do that sort of thing, so of course I"m hated for it because I can do it....anyways....so guess I';ll be going on about Australia for the next 10 months or so until I leave for it....I can't talk about it here with anyone cause the entire base here would find out, and I don't want them to know my business....If I wanted that to happen, I would have become famous and had my life story printed in magazines...I don't want that, so I'm not saying a word..nothing until I get back, and it's driving me insane cause I can never stop talking....guess I will just let it out on here so hope everyone is interested in my long-winded yapping sessions.....Anyways, I had a fabulous time at the resort I went to....it just went toooo fast in my opinion as always....now another work week againnnn...ugghhh and I get home late this whole week, so my evenings will be cut short again as they were a few months ago.....nothing I can do...I just keep doing it and go on...I love going on trips toooo much to give it up not to....so I'm glad everyone can bear with me....I took a ton of pics, so many that I don't even think I can get them all on here tonight...I may have to put them on here little by little cause there are so many, and I have to explain what they are etc....it was really really nice there wow I didn't realize how much I missed seeing so much greenery and actual trees because we don't have them here at all....we look out and just see parking lots and other peoples cars, and the roads and the bridge leading over the street.....pretty boring and not very interesting if you ask me....that's why I' m so anxious to get outta here to hopefully get to someplace where they didn't pour cement over anything that was nature related.....I will have to finish this later tomorrow when I get the pics on from here cause I will have to explain them since no one will have any idea what any of them are.....I've been on here several hours so I'm gonna take off now and I'll catch up with you all again tomorrow....I hope everyone had an awesome weekend, and is ready for another week to begin....honestly I'm not, but nothing that I can do about that.....bye for now everyone I'm off to read my book until about midnight our time here in Japan...take care and I'll talk with u soon!!!~~~~xoxo~~~~

If I Could Catch A Rainbow
If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you And share with its beauty On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain You could call your very own A place to find serenity A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles I would toss them into the sea But all these things I'm finding Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair But let me be what I know best A friend that's always there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_udqEp_YR4-too cute and funny videos!!!! Here's something to cheer up your day!!!! I found this on here and it was too cute to pass up...Also this one got my attention, and reminded me of my cats from Italy since they were this small whenever I first saw them....http://www.youtube.com/watch? maybe even smaller than that cause they could fit in my one hand....I hope everyone is having a smashing weekend....I've loved all this time off to do whatever I've wanted to do whenever I felt like doing it....I'm always gone here anymore, always rushed, and so my time is extremely limited, so having not only the weekend, but also an extra day off tomorrow just thrills me to pieces.....hmmm same same same stuff here so nothing new really....I care nothing about what is going on here at alllllllllllllllll.....I should be picking up going jet-skiing in the next few months....at least sometime this summer even if it is just once or twice....that's an all day thing that only lasts half an hour, but it sure takes up time to do that sort of thing....it's rainy here on and off today. I'd much rather be putting up with this than the other hot stuff....hmm not much to talk about here since I've gracefully bowed out from doing everything here from anykind of Christmas parties to just whatever kind of events are going on here...yes there are things going on here no matter what time of day it is...There was some sort of Chinese Acrobat show thing they had come here over this weekend...I didn't even blink twice at it...Maybe if it was a major concert or something like that, but anything related to over here, I seriously don't care anymore...not after how these people have been treating me the last few years up until now.....And besides, whenever they have junk like that come here, sooooooooooooooooooooo many freaky people swarm from all over to come and see it, that it just takes the fun out of it...all you are doing is just standing in a line waiting to get in since the thing is free anyways, so anyone but anyone is going to go, and bring their neighbours and 14 kids, and what is the fun in all that??? I'd rather be at something for adults rather than something to entertain kids and families since I"m around that enough as it is....It really gets pretty boring after so long honestly......Anyways, I'm hoping the next place after here I won't be sick of everything after the 2nd year and just plain stopped caring on what is going on there, so I can join in to a few things....stuff that would actually be of any kind of an interest to me that is....and I just happened to stumble across this and it was too weird to pass up....http://news.aol.com/article/7-legged-calf/496507?icid=mainmaindl1link5http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Farticle%2F7-legged-calf%2F496507 okay guess I'll go for now...I"ll post again tomorrw on my last day off for break before the week actually starts for us here....take care everyone can't wait to have a chat with you all again when u get a chance...bye bye for now...=)

Happy weekend to everyone=) =) =) I"m too happy to be off finally from my work and be able to do whatever I want for a few days....I'm sure everyone else knows this feeling all too well....just because I'm off my own work, doesn't mean that it stops here at home...I'm forever involved in some sort of on-going projects that I have been working on, but haven't finished yet, and then start working on another one before I have finished the one before that one...so I got them all over the place...Once I do finish them, I'll put them on here to share, it just takes me forever to get through any of them because I'm always gone, or just don't feel like messing with them during the week....anyways...it's pretty slow this weekend here, which I don't mind at alllllllllllllllllll.....I skipped out on so many cookouts this weekend and last, and I don't feel the least bit guilty...I just saved myself several trips to the emergency room cause I can't stand that stuff, any of it....I normally go to restaurants with the dinner music playing, and they are pretty nice inside....just changing over to grabbing stuff off a picnic table sitting in the heat for hours and hours does not mix well with me....hmm it's nice to be able to go and actually TALK and hear what the other person is saying across from u whenever you do go out somewhere....tonight we went to a fairly busy place here, probably most popular here, cause if you don't get there early, people are hanging out the door, standing on the sidewalks, waiting to be paged with one of those pager things....I don't understand why big huge families want to go to "adult" oriented restaurants, and drag their very small children with them, and they just sit there and scream and cry the whole entire time...I can't stand this, and just grab everything up and leave....with already having a hard enough week as it is, having to listen to people and put up with them, and everything else that comes with it, the last thing I wanna hear when I go out to dinner or anywhere else, is have to sit there and listen to someone else's spoiled brat kids scream their head off over something....I know that I 'm not the only one who is seriously annoyed to pieces about this, because there are entire websites,***MILLIONS*** about that exact same issue, so I'm glad that I"m not alone....that isn't the first time that has happened where we went out, and couldn't even hear each other across the table talking whenever we were sitting less than 5 feet apart....so just because they are used to hearing it, whoever is doing and making the noise...doesn't mean that everyone else around them wants to hear it as well.....Japanese aren't too bad about this, but they still don't correct the problem since their family members no matter what age, can do no wrong at all....when we were in Italy, I never had this problem ever really, not that I remember...In Romania, it was just as bad as Americans, cause there were also Russians there, and they didn't speak English really, so if this did happen, they would usually have no idea what you were annoyed about..... and if you went into a restaurant or anywhere just to take a break, and sit and talk with your friend, be prepared for someone else's screaming kids, or their kids running full force like it's the Olympic track and field or something....the only way to get actual peace and catch up with anyone without some other jerk interrupting your conversation is to go behind a building or where it was almost completely deserted.....I know I'm not the only one who has run into this problem, because I hear about it all the time, but not everyone wants to admit it, but who actually *likes* to be interrupted or hear continuous screaming if you don't have to??? People can be pretty clueless and shallow these days if they are used to something, and don't mind it, and others are the complete opposite, then somehow you are the one with the problem... that I will never understand...just like the thing with the big huge dogs here....I don't want them around me, I made that clear, I won't go to anything where someone has one, and somehow I am the one with the problem....okay whatever...I'm not married to these people so I can be however I want just like anyone else can....but I guess everyone can kind of see what I mean.....you are different in what you like or don't like, and you are the one with the huge flaming attitude problem, and they don't even want to hear why you are that way....completely maddening if you ask me....I'd best stay away from them so I don't totally go off and say something that would start all kinds of things flying....hmm anyways, I found this article that got my attention big time... not that I would ever put anything on here that would keep me awake at night, but I know there are others who do, and think it's supposed to be funny......http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/142366?comment_start=66&comment_count=20 so just thought I would let everyone else out there know this as well....that there is "no such thing as deleted pics on the internet!!!" It gets pretty scary I think when you have no idea is out there looking at your pics, and whatever else you got posted on here......Anyways, guess I've talked enough for today, I'll be back again tomorrow real quick while I'm still on my break....just luvin' it having all this time to myself!!! stay safe everyone take care and drop by and talk with me when you can....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKqCX0Cf4YQ- I Have Loved You-Jessica Simpson-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUrqDmADmuU&feature=rec-HM-r2 It's not enough to say that I miss you Twilight - New Moon
