Emperor's Birthday

I wanted to go shopping today, but it was a national holiday. All the stores were open, but the problem was the banks weren't open, which means I couldn't get access to my money. That's pretty important if I wanted to go shopping. So I just stayed home and chatted with my mother. I haven't talked to her for a long time in a long while. It was nice, I was talking in Chinese too, and telling her about her Christmas Present. She had received $1200 compliments of her son. But that was pretty much the day. I feel much better that I'm finally paying back my mother for my trip to Japan. She's spent a lot of money to send me my clothes and other crap. And I've still got to take care of some bills that I didn't cancel or take care of before I left to Japan. Its such a mess... damn.
