Before getting long to reflect my summer, let me tell u alll.

Thanks so much for sharing precious time with me

I had wonderful summer in Vancouver.

I wasn't sure how long I would stay in Vancouver for this summer when I came back here in the end of April.

Came back here for tour guide job, but it was canceled cuz of swine flu
After that, I wonder how I would spend my Vancouver summer.

When I reflect my summer, it was all about volleyball memories except work, Pilates in N.Y and so on.

I had so much fun to play volleyball.
Starting with Asian tournament, I enjoyed lots through outdoor grass volleyball.

Special thanks to
Asian tournament- Apples bottoms: Linda, Tammy, Maggie, Yuka, Rosie, Tracy, Rachel
It was the best Asian tourny I have ever had. hope to play with u girls next year again!

10 weeks grass league
Tuesday- team Japan pair. Shin. It was really fun to play with you. We can be the best grass Japanese pair.

Wednesday-Brian. learned a lot from u. Even i was sucks sometimes, you always shake it off and killed the ball. awesome grass master.

Thursday- Yuka, Brian, Johnson, Jay, Darryl,
I don't know how I can express to appreciate you guys for wonderful time. It was my best favorite fun night to play and hang out with you guys. v-ball, dinner, movie, and so on. Tons of unforgettable memories from Thu night. Couldn't stop laughing during and after game. Awesome Champion team

Whistler & 1 day tourny – Allen, you are such a competitive great player! We gotta work on to be champion at the final game!

In the end, I appreciate a lot to everybody who used time to share the moment with me for the last 2 days.

The ppl who came out for “See you again party” or sent me msg, I had unforgettable moments through the party.

I had never hold a party for just myself like birthday or farewell party.

As the day of departure got closer, everybody's face came up in my mind. And I really wanted to see you guys.

Then, I have decided to hold party as the first attempt in my life.

At the same time, I was really nervous about how many ppl could come out.
I set the table for 15 cuz I wasn't sure how many ppl could come and it was just middle of weekday.
But eventually 23 people got together in total. +9 ppl who sent me sweet message.

I miss you all...

On the last day of Van, I could see another 9 ppl.

41 ppl whom I could see or contact in the last 2 days.

I never forget about everybody and the time I spent during the summer until the last minutes.

I will do my best in Japan till the day coming back to Vancouver again.

I will update Japanese life here.
Then, if you get bored or feel like killing time, just take a moment to visit my site and check how silly Japanese gal is doing:)

Really really looking forward to seeing you all again.
