Short term tenant

I get along with Yayoi my flatmate so well and I don't wanna loose my room, so I got another lady to rent my room for at least 2 months.

And because I had to empty half of the closet for her to use, I threw (donated) a bag full of clothes which I don't wear anymore. It gave me a sense of emotional transition, that I might not have to wear office clothes, for the rest of my life!

And at the same time remembered how i dreamed to wear powersuits and strut with a pair of stiletto on a business district like a bitch in control, when I was a student.

It's one of those dream vs reality thing. Now i'm mostly in skimpy clothes (coz it's hot!) and a pair of sandals.

Baby Boy's name

Back in Jakarta, my mom is frantic about choosing the boy's middle name.

Dai-chan's dad chose RIKU for the first name. RIKU in Japanese means Continent.

So it's my mom's request to pick the boy a middle name which is in English. (And she even chose the spelling for RIKU to RIQUE. Just so French and chic.

They chose LEON for the middle name as he is expected to be born on Aug 1.

But now with the early delivery frenzy, they are trying to pick yet another name...

oh, things adult do for an unborn little thing.

So anyway, I found this website on Japanese name assessment. http://www.seimeihandan.net/free/index.asp

If you have a name in Kanji, try it. It's fun.

For example :

Me: 竹谷 直美 Takeya Naomi　- 浮沈変転運 fluctuating and changing

Sister: 竹谷 恵美 Takeya Emi - 奇人変人運 An eccentric

Dad: 竹谷 聖 Takeya Satoshi - 英雄・怪傑運 A hero / marvel

Dai-chan: 岡村 大正 Okamura Daisei - スタミナ野人運 Wild person with stamina

And the baby boy: 竹谷 陸 Takeya Rique - ボス頭領 Head of all bosses

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

without a safety net....

Ok, now I'm freaking out.

From next month, I will no longer see that once a month glorious day on my bank account.

And being me, I don't have much to last.

My 2 year old computer is almost useless now, if anything it's causing too much stress.

I've reformatted and reinstalled but still it's very very very very slow...

I'm sure everyone knows how frustrating it is to have a retarded computer with no cure for it.

So it looks like I have to get a new computer, most likely a laptop, with my last pay check.

Today, Inez and I made a big decision to seperate MaNic's women's wear and the maternity wear, basically because Inez will be moving to Melbourne and I, God knows where...

We will still be mentors and support to eachother, providing information wherever we are.

So I will take on the maternity wear alone, Inez the women's wear alone.

So...Bon Voyage to an uncertain and exciting future!
