			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Cherry Blossom Advenures readers&#8230;</p>
<p>It is hard to believe that a week has passed between posts&#8230;..so much has happened, stuff I will eventually blog about I am sure! Apparently this is the month of letters (If you are participating in NABLOPOMO) so I thought it was time I wrote a quick letter to you all!</p>
<p>Lets see. This Friday I finish up work at my current job&#8230;.after 18 months.</p>
<p>I have already knocked a couple of things off my 101 things in 1001 days list but info on that will also come in another post. I am supposed to do a update at the end of the month and I hope to have at least another couple of things crossed off! Including actually adding a page to my blog with the list!</p>
<p>I am up to N in my encylopedia of me and I am still not sure what I will write about. N is for Names perhaps? Or maybe N for Nancy Drew&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>I am spending way to much time on the internet reading blogs, playing around on entrecard and writing emails but not nearly enough time writing on my blog&#8230;..It is hard to beleive that after posting for 3 days in a row last week I thought I might be able to do NABLOPOMO this month&#8230;..and then a week went by between posts so I guess I am not ready for that yet!</p>
<p>We need to be out of our apartment by April 27th&#8230;.I have not yet done any packing but I will eventually get to it&#8230;I have done some cleaning though and have a man coming to pick up all our books and manga on Monday to take to book off. I have also begun to clean out my closet but it is a bigger job that I first thought! I will also be leaving Japan in just over a month&#8230;.This is even harder to believe and I know it really hasn`t sunk in.</p>
<p>You know what also hasn`t really sunk in yet? The fact that I am getting married next May (The 9th actually!)&#8230;.so far I have booked a venue and that is it. I have just kind of given up on doing anything until I get back to Australia! Although Shun and I did go look at engagement rings on the weekend&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>I sprained my ankle last week although it is healing ok but still a bit bruised and swollen. Get this I did it by WALKING in my apartment&#8230;..yep to the bathroom. I am such a klutz.</p>
<p>I am the heaviest I have ever been and that is depressing&#8230;..I know I could start doing something about it now but have decided to start afresh the day I arrive back in Australia! Will be dieting with my mum and exercising with my dad I think! He walks everyday and wants to get a puppy so that will be our motivation. Also want to get a hoop!</p>
<p>I am going to Kobe in a couple of weeks to meet up with <a href="http://passthesara.blogspot.com">Sara</a> which is super exciting and I can not wait! I will also get to go to Nara while I am down that way and that is also awesome since I have always wanted to go!</p>
<p>Oh last week on my week off I went to Disney Sea&#8230;another post perhaps?! Photos also? I also did Hanami on Saturday with Shun, Sumi, Junni and James and it was a random day but so much fun! We had no plans when we woke up that morning but the day turned out brilliantly!</p>
<p>I revised my resume for the first time in almost 2 years&#8230;&#8230;I wasn`t even sure if resumes were still done the same way.</p>
<p>I signed up for entrecard&#8230;.am already slightly addicted although don`t think it does anything for the traffic of my site but have already discovered some other great blogs! Although this isn`t helping my internet addiction at all because it just means I spend more time on the net reading blogs and stuff than I do doing stuff on my own blog or stuff like packing! Or even reading&#8230;&#8230;I feel like I haven`t done nearly enough reading of actual books lately!</p>
<p>Now over to you readers, do you have any questions for me? You can ask me anything and I will try my best to answer! I have seen a couple of bloggers open up comments to their readers asking the same question `Do you have any questions` and it seems like fun. So fire away&#8230;.</p>
<p>Hope you are all having a good week,</p>
<p>Love Lulu xoxoxoxo</p>
<p>ps: I just read the above&#8230;..talk about random. I do believe a letter is incomplete with a post script.</p>

Dear two ladies in restaurant,

<p>Dear two ladies in restaurant,</p>
<p>Next time you sit at a table beside someone and decide to discuss their breasts perhaps at least come up with a codeword&#8230;or wait until said person is not sitting next to you and listening to your conversation while they eat their pasta.</p>
<p>I am sorry if you thought it was ok to discuss my breasts&#8230;perhaps thinking I did not understand you but let me assure you it is not OK. I did not discuss the fact that you LADY 1 had on the most hideous jacket I have ever seen nor did I tell discuss the fact that you Lady 2 had green hair&#8230;Sure in my head I was thinking WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE GREEN HAIR but I did not talk about it in front of you. Want to know why? Well firstly I do not know you and secondly well it would just be plain rude.</p>
<p>I hope that you both think about this in the future&#8230;</p>
<p>Lulu</p>
<p>Dear kind man on train,</p>
<p>Thank you for picking up my book this morning when I fell asleep and dropped it on the floor&#8230;and I think into your bag. I do apoligise but getting up at 7:15 really took it out of me and I am not used to travelling from Chiba to Tokyo&#8230;that extra distance is not fun.</p>
<p>I appreciate the fact that you also just picked it up, and placed it on my lap. I know you were not trying to touch me up and really were just doing a kind deed.</p>
<p>I am sorry I woke up suddenly as you did it and scared the hell out of you&#8230;Please do not think that the look I gave you was one of contempt&#8230;I was slightly shocked but once I figured out what happened was really grateful.</p>
<p>I know I said thank you at the time but wish to say it again now.</p>
<p>Thanks, Lulu</p>
<p>I was going to post today about otherstuff but it is after midnight and well I just can not be bothered&#8230;Might do a random post tomorrow though with all sort of stuff including  the fact that I think I am in love with Frances Whiting and want to be her&#8230;..mainly cos she writes well, is hilarious and is from Brisbane! Oh and how weird dalmations are&#8230;</p>
<p>I do have other gratitue and complaint notes but don&#8217;t want to bore you all to death&#8230;or make you fall asleep and drool on your keyboards!</p>
