The first day of snow

It was that cold today. My plan was go out and shop for some stuff. In the wake of the terrible Tsunamis that hit the Southern Asia region, I was inspired to start an emergency kit. I mean, Japan has the most Earthquakes in the world, and has had numerous Tsunamis hit its coast since who knows when. I mean the last devastating Tsunami that I've read about was just after the 9.5 Earthquake off the coast of Chile. I mean this was way in South America back in the 1960s. I won't forget to mention this was the largest Earthquake ever recorded. But about 20 hours later coastlines of Japan were being nailed with Tsunamis.

But today, it was only an idea since it was freaking cold. I didn't want to go out. My freakin heater didn't work very well and I just huddled inside with my kotatsu (table with a heater). That was pretty much it. I hadn't talked to my family in a long time either. Something that I just recently noticed too. It's quite odd since I usually talk to them to pass the time when there's a rainstorm, Typhoon, or a Snow Day. But not recently. I remember talking to them last right before my birthday.

So I managed to live through the day since only having my kotatsu, and many layers of clothing. I mean my hands and body were so cold that I couldn't feel anything anymore. I made frequent trips to the shower to warm up my hands since that's the only place that has warm water. Its quite tragic actually that it was colder inside my room that outside. I don't know how that happened since it was registered at 1 degrees celcius which is about 33-34 degrees ferenheit. I spent most of my time reading about the news in America, San Diego, the world, and Japan. I feel well informed about all the events occuring around the world. I downloaded a grip of new songs, but still only listening to a few... I'm not sure how that works out.

I spent some time talking to other friends that I haven't talked to in a long ass time too. So that was nice. It's always nice to keep in touch with friends. Since we always say we will but never end up having enough time for each other. That's the sad part about friendship. It reminds me of the Cake song - friends is a four letter word for ends. But once a year is better than none. So it's nice to put a good note at the end of the year. I was actually happy in December this year. That's soooo rare for me to be happy this month. Usually things just don't work out the way that I had plan things, partly my fault. But this year, I didn't expect much and I was surprised with many things. It was great too. I really do feel lucky and am glad that I left San Diego. Being a traitor and leaving my hometown is never easy, but growing up is well worth the cost.
