Must be cold outside. I woke up around 8:00AM
with feeling cold but was no problem. Went to outside in the morning, I
found a way to get to the nearest sidewalk so I was jogging for about half
hour. Took shower, just putting more stuffs away. I finally get to place the
bookshelf. Since the weather was too nice, I decided to walk to Kroger
nearby. Come home, cooked dinner and more stuffs for the coming weeks. I had
to work on company stuffs for the evening but hit the bed by 11:00PM. |

Woke up at 6:00AM. Went for a morning run before
heading to work. I was able to get a confirmation so I decided to drive down
to Indiana in the afternoon. It was pretty warm. I had to stop by a couple
of offices to run my errands, and had a dinner at a Japanese restaurant.
Arrived at hotel around 9:00PM, relaxed for a while then headed to bed

The well known storm causing many problems in Nebraska though Texas reached

Woke up at 6:00AM, the outside was at 32F and
gusty. I went outside and ran again like I did yesterday. Left the visiting
office around 9:30AM and start driving in a gusty, snowy road back to
Michigan. I arrived to the office by 3:30PM, but had trouble returning the
rental car. I was up in the office until 11:00PM, and come home, had a soup
for dinner, went to bed after mid night. It's pretty gusty around here. |

Woke up at 6:00AM, the outside was 32F as I woke
up. Flurrying from the morning. I had to visit customer from the morning so
I spent morning outside of office. Went to eat lunch with my coworkers. This
is the one time for the week. I stayed at work until 9:00PM, went home in a
flurry weather. The temperature setting at home was not that good so I felt
cold over night and could not sleep too well. |
| 4/6 |
Woke up at 7:00AM, I did not get to do anything
much before heading to work. At least I have made sure that I sent money to
pay the expenses on the card I used for the moving. It was a pay day and I
also received compensation for the moving. However, I did not go out to eat
lunch. I am still waiting for a reimbursement check, though. Left work at
7:00PM, come home. The temperature was around 20s whole day |
| 4/7 |
I woke up around 7:00am, still pretty cold and
looks like we had some snow. I went outside for about one hour for a walk.
Went to eat dim sam with my friends for the lunch. I have not seen them for
almost two years so it was very nice to see them again. Flurries whole day
but I drove around to buy stuffs and check out stuffs. I finally got haircut
so I am refreshed. Good. Spent evening at home but needed to work on home
improvements. Going to bed around midnight.
 Snowed.
Where is the warm weather from last weekend go?! |
| 4/8 |
Woke up around 7:30am. It was a nice sleep,
maybe because of the curtain I installed yesterday. I went to outside in a
colder weather again. I enjoyed the walk for about 1.5 hours. It was too
cold to run around for me. Since today is Easter Sunday, there aren't many
place open. I drove to a Japanese grocery store and bough few stuffs for the
week. I cooked some foods toward the evening. Going to bed on time. I will
be ready for the new week. |

until 7:00am, too late to go outside for a walk before going to the office.

hear rain drops hitting the window in my apartment. Going to bed around

Woke up at 6:45am. Pretty tired from the
yesterday's. I went to work on time, had lunch with my coworkers. Since I
had to take care of businesses in early evening, I left work at 5:00PM
hoping to get to the gym before too late, but when I come home, it was
already 5:45PM. The street I am using for commute is a mess during rush
hour... I gave up the appointment so I walked around for about one hour, the
outside was still cold but sunny so it was too bad to pass up. Spent evening
just taking care of stuffs at home. I had to go to a couple of places for
buying stuffs. Going to bed around 11:00PM. |
| 4/14 |
Woke up around 7:00am, still below 32F in the
morning. Living in Michigan is not that easy I guess. I went out for running
for about one hour, then headed out for shopping I needed to do. I went to
get my car washed, then drive to Twelve Oaks mall, which is a pretty common
mall here. I bought some clothes, and finally got myself a padded mattress
for indoor stretching and workout. I also stopped at Meijer but they did
not carry the energy gels I like, so I went to a place called Running Fit. I
come home around 5:30PM. I spent evening at home, relaxing. Called home, I
went to bed after midnight. |
| 4/15 |
Woke up at 7:30am, still cold, and windy. I
stretched my body and headed outside for a walk. I drove to a gym to work
out and come home. Relaxed and also organized my room a bit. It's almost a
month since I have moved but still so many things I need to gather up... |

Woke up at 6:30am, I guess it was because I did
not go bed early enough last night. I worked out at home and headed to work.
I had a pretty good day, I didn't care much about the windy and chilly
weather. Stayed at office until 9:30PM, while checking on a tragic shooting
at Virginia Tech University which resulted in more than 30 deaths. It's hard
on many people. When I come home, I realized I cannot open the door. I
guessed the maintenance people did something wrong with the lock, later
found out that they replaced the whole cylinder since the key did not work.
I received my new set of keys after waiting at outside for 30 minutes... |
| 4/17 |
Woke up at 6:00am. my body is pretty stiff due

Panera Bread before heading back to the office. Stayed at office until
6:00PM then headed back to the home. The traffic was busy again. I had class
until 8:30PM then come home. Going to bed around 11:30PM. It was a sunny
nice day. |

Woke up at 6:00am, went outside for a short
walk, arrived at work, had lunch with my coworkers at Ruby Tuesday for one
of employee's farewell party. I had to talk with HR because when I
transferred to Michigan, they forgot to take care of my vacation time which
I almost accumulated to 180hours. stayed at work until 7:00PM although I
wanted to go home early for workout. I drove to Meijer for grocery store.
When I was fueling my car, one person approached and ask for a dollar for
gas. I guess some people think they deserved to drive or something. |
| 4/21 |
Woke up at 7:00am, stretched my body then had
breakfast. I wanted to go swim today but I could not find the pool so I
switched to running for the afternoon. I drove to a drycleaner to pick up my
uniform, and also stopped by at an office supply store to buy a desktop
riser to make room for external keyboard. The whole thing worked out pretty
well after I installed everything. Talked with my brother for about half
hour, going to bed around 12:30am. |
| 4/22 |
Woke up at 7:30am, stretched and went for a
morning walk. I found a pretty long trail accessible from my apartment so I

apartment. It's a slow progressing event, I guess. Spent evening writing
emails to my friends, going to bed around 10:30PM. |

was pretty good whole day.
There was an interesting article about "net cafe refugees" in Japan. Those
people are not homeless but live out of internet cafes while taking daily
work via recruiting companies. Many places in Japan has those people
literary living in the cafes since they offer free refill on drink and also
some foods they can buy. In addition, the cafe's station offers air
conditioned quarter for about $10 a night, compare to hotels which are more
expensive. I am not sure |

Woke up at 6:00am, I heard of hard rain over
night, it must have ruined my newly washed car. Went out for a morning run
then headed to work. Since Japanese office is closed this week, I did not
have much of assignment from them. Left work at 6:30PM in rainy weather,
headed to home and went to swim. I hoped to get my photo ID but the machine
there was still broken. |
