Just a Different Zipcode...When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Dec. 23rd--> We got up early to catch 8am flight to Vencouver, Canada. (We hadexperienced for missing flight before, anyways, we don't want ithappen again.) It was 10am when we get to Vencouver Airport. Wewaited for the tour guide at the Totem Poles Waiting Area at Airport,and it took about an hour for us to leave for hotel. We didn't havetour at the first day in Vencouver, therefore, we went for a walkin Richmond area where we stayed.
It was raining today, and not so much to see here. We did groceryshopping to prepare some snacks for our journey. I feel this cityis mostly like Taiwan, many food selection, and crowded. We didn'tdo much shopping, but walking. We also need to get up early tostart the Rockies tour tomorrow....sigh!!

Dec. 24th--> We started the Rockies tour in the early morning. We left hotel around 7:30am by tour bus, and on the way to the journey, the tour went thru other areas to pick others up. We can imagine that 4 days for Rockies tour is tight, and will stay on bus most of time. (Actually, I couldn't recall the exact spots where we have been to on this trip, you know, tour bus, it's always stop at the areas for a short time. All in all, it's a nice and different experience to me.)

Cirque Du Soleil - "Corteo", we went to see it tonight.

I couldn't believe I can see it in person I had only seen on TVbefore, it's amazing!!
Well, it's no allow to take a photo inside, I can't show you...Anyways, it was 11pm when we got home...need to get up early tomorrow to catch early flight to Canada for the Rocky mountains tour.

We had been to Robert Mondavi Winery last year, we took a winery tour there, to understand how they made wines, also bought some wines, no doubt..^.~

Since we finished shopping which is ahead the schedule; We decided to go to Napa. When we got up in the morning and, felt it is a great day to go out..he..he!! We left early morning for Napa, and paid more attention on the direction this time. (There is another incident from last --we got lost and ran out of gas on the way home when the sky was getting dark-- we don't want it happen again.) We went to our favorite winery -V. Sattui- buy 2 cases of wines (red wines, white wines, and dessert wines). That was another quick shopping again!!

On the way back, we stopped by Opus One Winery to see if we could buy some wines from them. WOW!! The price starts from $165 per bottle...well, maybe next time.

Dec. 17th, flying to S.F. for my vacation for 3wks.

I got up in the early morning to catch an early flight to SF. It's a smooth flight from Nagoya to S.F., in this case, I can't sleep well on flight, cause' I like to sleep in a swaying and rolling motion.

It's cold at the first day I got to SF. I was not used to the weather in the first couple days. When the flight touched down, I was so exciting, and thinking to see him soon. The immigration line was short for the visitors, therefore, I passed this point faster than other times. When I reached the Customs, it was passing quickly. I think people are anxious to go home for Christmas and New Year holidays.

The flight arrivied earlier than estimated. I waited in the terminal for almost an hour, felt worry and fear. Finally, he showed up, and than we turned into shopaholic after I freshed up. Can you imagine how much I spend...??

"Perhaps Love", when I saw the preview in movie theater, I toldmyself I definitely want to see it. I've been touched by thepreview. There is not that much for me to talk about this movieright now, I don't know if I will like it or not. Anyways...!!

What for this year?
I learned how to laugh at the things making me upset or angry; I learnedhow to smile to the enemies.It may be difficult to start in the beginning, howeve, you willappreciate it once you learn.We need to do right things, and speak good words...

Non-stop working, non-stop talking on phone at work. OT today, thinking of why I work OT always? This question is always in my mind…sigh!! need to get some work down before my vacation.
Thinking of I’ll see him soon, no matter what happen in next step; I cherish the moment we have been spent.
Feel like a lot of things in mind; When I start writing, I don’t know how or what to say and tell.
Another day then…got to go catch sleep.

Barely to get up every morning,
Chest pain most of time recently, I am too weak to handle work well sometimes…really need a long break soon.
I’d been told that it’s a sign when you have a chest pain…be careful!!
It may cause a serious problem…I listen…and fearful.
At the moment,
