Getting enought to eat and releasing stress

I think I neglected to mention that I've now been in Tokyo for a year. Not sure what to say. I guess what I have been saying is enough.

Actually, here is a picture of me in August 2008 where I look skinny as f@ck.

I'm not sure if it's the angle, lighting or altitude, but thank god I don't look like this anymore, nor do I feel as stressed as I did when that picture was taken. August was the height of my stressed period as I was looking for an apartment (July being the homesick/depression period) and the weather was just stupid hot. So add all that up and you get that picture.

i don't know how much I weigh now, but I feel alright. It's true. I do need another year here, now that I've gotten a handle on things. The first year was to get my feet wet; now it's time to really have some fun.

Did you know that I can hear my upstairs neighbour's phone vibrate?
