Bad day



Starting this Tuesday, I have this chest pain it won't go away.

I was so stressed out, I couldn't breath for a moment.


Yes, the stress is coming from my work.
It never ends.


I wonder what it would be like to have a stress free job.
I ask myself so many times a day, is this worth it, do I have to go through this.
To be honest, I don't know the answer to that.


I had a tough week. Like a really bad one.
I still have my chest pain.

Two of my co-workers took me out.
One as my closest co-worker, and the other as my hubby.

I vent out.
And they listened.
They nodded along.
They understood my pain.
That's all that matters. So I am thankful that because of this, I was able to reconfirm how blessed I am for having these beautiful people in my life.


I had a bad day. It won't late forever.
So I will sing a song tonight.

"Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day, you've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day, you had a bad day"

お花の風景

たまには日本語で。

お花教室の風景です。左に見えるのがお花の先生。
こちらは今年のお正月辺りに参加したお花のクラスで、テーマはお正月でした。
なので、冬素材をいっぱい使い、赤を加えることで、和風なお花に仕上げました。





他の生徒さんの作品。

和風でしょう?

そして、最後はやはりお茶と和菓子です。

ふっと一息。

安らぐ一瞬です。

The Earth Laughs in Flowers






One of my favorite places in Los Angeles - Flower Market.

I am a huge fan of this place and whenever I get the chance, I will drive downtown and stock up on flowers, being careful I do not get too greedy, which is hard with the enormous amount of gorgeous flowers.





I would love to come here on rainy Saturday after early morning service.
When the sky is gloomy and when everyone is in their own dream world.
Drive up there on my hoodie and wearing my glasses.
Sipping coffee and listening to Ono Lisa, Sade and/or Ego Wrappin'.

Walk around listening to the sound of rain and people's chatting, surrounded by the aroma of fresh cut flowers. Get two orchids and my favorite flower for under 25 dollars total.
this is my lovely Saturday morning.

"The Earth Laughs in Flowers." Ralph Waldo Emerson
