Real ID application 6/14/2025

I went to the DMV to apply for the Real ID to my driver’s license. I heard the military base requires it to create or renew the military base entry ID. I asked my husband to come with me so that he can explain whatever I don’t fully understand before I sign any kinds of official documents. I felt safe to have him while I was signing the documents.

House inspection 6/13/2025

In the morning at 9:30 a.m., the property manager came to our house and had a house walk–in inspection. Because we have been taking good care of this house to keep it clean, the property manager was happy to see it. As a matter of fact, he already knew that we are doing pretty good on taking care of the house, he went ahead to renew our lease contract beforehand of the house inspection. I feel comfortable to have him as our property manager. I feel he has a good feeling about us too. I am glad that the inspection was done without any issues.

Ceramic class (4) 6/12/2025

I talked with my another good fried of mine about my next trip to Japan. She was happy to spend time with me. I appreciate my friends to be willing to come to see me during my visit. We had a nice conversation to catch up with each other about our recent life.

My daughter happily completed her summer camp regarding the ceramic work. The college will fire the camper’s artworks during the weekend. I am so excited to see my daughter’s artworks sometime next week.

Ceramic class (3) 6/11/2025

While my daughter is taking the summer camp, I gave myself a biofeedback session. Today’s session went smoothly and the success rate was over 80%.

In the evening, I talked with one of my Japanese friends. She was happy for me of our next trip to Japan. We decided to make one night trip together to Kyoto. I am so excited about our next get together.

Ceramic class (1) 6/9/2025

In the morning, my daughter and I woke up much earlier than usual. My daughter signed up the summer camp at the local community college. At the venue, we were greeted by a white female teacher. She introduced me in Japanese language that she learned the ceramic in Japan. Her Japanese was fluent. She said she loves Japan and Japanese. She is polite and humble. I thought she would blend in very well in Japanese community with her personality. I am glad to have her as my daughter’s teacher. I hope my daughter will enjoy the summer camp.

Spiritual class (7) 6/7/2025

I attended the 7th spiritual class in the middle of the night. The class started at 10 p.m. and ended at 2 a.m. as usual. We have two teachers. One teacher has been in the teaching career for many years and has been good at speaking in front of students, while the other teacher is new to teach and speak in front of people and he is shy about it. However, he has gradually gotten used to his new career, so that he could speak fluently today. I really enjoyed learning from these two teachers.

Amaranth plants 6/6/2025

One of our garden plants has been growing tall and healthily. I don’t know what is the plant is. It started growing in the soil in the flower pot that I purchased a chili tepin plant from the local farmer. The tepin plant didn’t grow due to the cold weather in the February, this plant started growing there. I took a picture and used an app to find out the name of the plant. The app told me it is an amaranth which the leaves are edible. I looked up the recipe. I will cook the leaves tomorrow.
