Going to the Grocery + Pictures from Summer

Ok so I think I'm resisting the culture here a little bit. It's tiring to go outside my apartment and see how every single person I see is so meticulously dressed up. Sigh. I miss my car because I can hide my appearance from point A to point B. For example, let's say I just wanted to go to Safeway (Oh how I miss Safeway, and the amazing cereal aisle), I could just change my pj shorts into a pair of jeans hanging around my room, and then walk out in some flip flops, put on sunglasses and just drive to Safeway, and spend 15 minutes in there, and drive back home. And nobody would care how I look (well because it's America) and I could sit comfortably semi hidden in my car, and with the sunvisor down, I would be more hidden...Lol and I just miss my car :( OH but today when I went out to the local grocery store...I had to walk of course, and it's like a 13ish minute walk there. And I just wore my bball shorts, a tank top, and just tossed a short sleeve jacket thing on and walked there in my flip flops, because I'm thinking like oh whatever, it's just the local grocery store, nobody will care, and who cares anyways if I'm not all decently dressed - I'm not! But walking there I start noticing, hrm I dont ever see anyone wearing basketball shorts just walking around...and then I start noticing how pretty people are looking, all done up and matching with make up...and I just look like an American college bum student. Sigh. I miss casual Southern California.

Welps, here are some pictures! The first ones are from climbing Mt. Fuji and the last one is from when my folks from Irvine Baptist Church visited me! :)

  1. When my friend yoko went back to japan, that was something hard for her as well. she said people at school looked at her weird cuz she's wear jeans and flip flops with her UCLA sweatshirt to school. Oh and with a back pack.. not a tote or purse. :]
