New years day is 23rd this year in old calendar.
It's been uneasy about affairs for my family this month.
It's kind of hard but it may be destiny I had in my life.
There are not many people who really believe in god in this country, and I was one of those.
But I often think about god these days ...
I don't know how he (or she) looks what is his rule and, of course, what's his name... but I would know he exists somewhere in this world.

I was back in my hometown again early this week.
I drove back home early this morning, almost 1o'clock and couldn't sleep well before this shift.
I'm so tired actually...
But I called my Dad this morning that made me feel a little better.
I was hanging without eating but I couldn't help.
I jumped in to the store just in front of my cab parking space and bought sweet bread.
So yummy!

Today, before the shift, we had a office meeting which announced it's the final day for the chief.
He's been my boss for this 9 years.
We're, actually, not getting along at all.
He's always scolded me, and I sometimes talked against him.
But today, after the meeting, I went up to his desk and said "thank you".
That was a good moment maybe I wouldn't forget in my life.
I feel ... kindof set now.
I gotta stay here alittle more time.

I'm thinking about a Japanese word "enryo", means that you try "not" doing something if it might be bother someone.
I looked up dictionary and it says the English words for "enryo" are "reserved" or "diffident".
But those words are kind of negatve term as "enryo" is kind of polite, good term.
Anyway in Japanese society, We're often forced this term "enryo".
I'm Japanese but I don't like this word ...
