My Parents

i think that my parents are GOOD!!! they have some trials and problems sometimes... but, they Can Overcome the things Together and each time and i'm Really proud to have them as my parents :)
here's a funny story, my mom told me a few years ago(lol)
Before their first anniversary came... my dad thought that the 23rd is their Special day... so he got something and gave it to mom on that day(lol) she didn't know what was going on, so she asked him?!... then they realized that their Anniversary IS on the 24th of May!!! :D
it's fun to hear their stories sometimes, and i'm Grateful for their Examples and Efforts as parents.
This year, my family went to such a Nice French restaurant to celebrate their anniversary and also some family events together on the 23rd of May! ;)
We really EnJOYed the meal soo MUCH!!! :-)
it was very wonderful family night together, thanks to my family.

my work

i'm working at the company that i get phone calls from the customers who have watched the CM-s on tv or radio, they want to be healthy by the items!!! i like my job and enjoy getting to know my co-workers at work :)some of them sound like Very International peeps :) they have been to many different places in the world and i really enjoy hearing their travel stories while we wait for phone calls!!!
it's awesome.
i usually work between 9am - 6pm or 7pm, mondays to fridays :) i'm still learning some new things to work, but not too busy or hard! i'm lovin' my work a LOT now :-)

General Conference

As I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I attend the meetings that are called "General conference" twice in a year.
It's the BEST meetings i attend Everytime!!!
The conference Always Helps me to Remember my Savior, Jesus Christ and also Who I am! More Deeply :) It is such a Blessing to have the knowledge in mylife!!!
The knowledge also helps me to understand "what's the purpose to live?" "what i will do after this life?" "How i can keep a good relationship with my family?" and "Whom i need to follow, and want to be?"
"Is yourLife too Easy for you?"
i Love the scriptures that i can gain LOTS of Great WISDOM :)
one of my Favorites is 3 Nephie 24:3. it says "And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness".
Life is Awesome, but not too easy at all! Otherwise we don't GROW... therefore, life is truly JOY :)
In this conference, the church general authorities talked about temples - the blessings, ordinances and doctrines in the temples! i leave the website "why church members build temples on earth"

How WonderFUL it is that the gospel and church of Jesus Christ have been Restored on Earth! God Truly LOVES each ONE of us SoO MUCH that we are His children :) and we DO have Our Savior, Jesus Christ who has shown us the BEST example, LOVE, the way to Live and the Truth from the Heavenly Father! We have the Way how we Can communicate to our Heavenly Father by Prayers, and He hears and answers our Prayers Even Today! :)I know that there is the Holy Ghost who leads and teaches us to know the truth and what is right. Through the Holy Ghost, I Know that Jesus is the Christ. He is the Savior of the world. He made the greatest sacrifice for all of us. The scriptures (We have the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, and other scriptures) are Truly words of God and the words are real and living. God has provided many ways to show us to find His plan and also to have JOY with life :D One of the Blessings is we have a Living Prophet on earth! Thomas S. Monson is the prophet of God today. He and other church leaders lead us to come unto Christ and help us to learn and understand the teachings of Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ Lives! I Really Do LOVE the Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Gospel with All my heart and I'm so Grateful for this wonderful opportunity to Share about my testimony with you all who come into my blog! :)

Side note: General Conference is held in the conference center in Salt Lake City, UT during the first weekend, Saturday and Sunday two sessions each day. since i'm in Japan this time... i was able to watch the conference in Japanese by satellite next week from the broadcast.

Sakura

i've been Having Hay Fever lately here in Kumamoto, Japan... it's not FUN(lol) for me to Go OUTside very often or for a LONG time, otherwise i can't keep opening my eyes or any parts where i can get any air? or pollen stuff :(
but, the BEST Time is Coming NOW!!!
Yes, i'm Really Excited to see Sakura(a.k.a Cherry blossom) So soon ;)
There Is Such a Lovely tredition with Sakura in Japan!!!
Usually family, friends or co-workers make Plans to get Together, and, and... and to Eat YUMMY meals under the Trees!!!!!!!!
"YAY, it's Super AWESOME"
AnyTime is FINE!!! Especially between Lunch and late Dinner :)
During Lunch time... the people enjoy having the picnic or even the potluck luncheon with beautiful sunny weather. In the evening time... the people enjoy the potluck dinner with the Moon and lanterns.
Very Fantastic and Romantic moments, i think. ;)
Sakura usually blossoms for a few days, and early Springtime...

Life is either a great adventure or nothing
- Andre Gide



"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

"Be grateful. Be smart. Be clean. Be true. Be humble. Be prayerful."

"You don't have to be a genius. You don't have to be a straight-A student. You just have to do your very best with all the capability you have. You have to do your very best. And somehow, if you do that, God will open the way before you and the sun will shine, and your lives will be fruitful and you will accomplish great good in the world in which you take a part."
- President Gordon B. Hinckley



"Be not discouraged, neither allow the spirit of doubt or gloom or despondency to come into they life, for these are tricks of the evil one to destroy thy faith and thy usefulness. But look upon the bright side of life, to be cheerful, humble, prayerful, and pure in thy devotion, and in thy habits, and the Lord will remember thee in mercy. His power and blessings will be upon thee. Therefore, look unto the Lord in humility, and thou shalt be comforted in the answers to thy prayers and be guided in the path of thy duty, day and night."
- Hyrum Smith



"Come What May, and Love It"
-Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin



How to be HaPpy all through the year!

Keep your heart free from hate,
Your mind free from worry,
Live simply, Expect little
Give much, Sing often, Pray always,
Fill your life with Love, Scatter sunshine,
Forget yourself, Think of others, Do as you would be done by.
There are the tried links in contentment’s
GOLDEN CHAIN.

A little reminder of what life is all about:
Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.”
- Unknown


Well, I sure have some more... but, let me finish it at this moment!
