The truth is that I've almost forgotten that I have a blog and use to proudly call myself a "blogger." Now I use another word to describe myself, "homeowner." I've been living it up in my newly purchased condominium in East Coast City X! Do you know what my owning a home means? Yes, God performs miracles.
I love my new pad and the tax deductions I'll get as a homeowner. Now I have to decorate the place with the help of IKEA, Macy's, Domino magazine, and all the stuff I brought in Japan and in my travels! And please feel free to send me any good decorating advice.

congragulations lady, you can never expire or retire from being a blogger-its in your blood. before filling your lovely new place with the likes of IKEA or Macys, make sure you annoint your house with prayer and oil-its always a blessing to seal those miracles that God does in our lives.
Cheers

Hi MsWorld,
I just stumbled onto your blog. Are you still looking for a job, by any chance?
If yes, here's a position for you: Dialect/culture trainer in India for a helpdesk. If you're not interested in coming back to India to live, there will also soon be position in New Jersey. I've included a link to the company that I work for.
I'm a Haitian American female and I live in Hyderabad in South India. I was very intrigued by your experiences in Japan and the rest of the world.
Send an email if you're interested.
Thanks for the blog and especially for the picts - They're great!

Dang, cousin! I'm so proud of you. I've been bad in keeping up with your blog in the new year. Now things have finally settled down, i'll be regularly checking on your site. Of course congrats on your new home (hopefully you got my card). I think it's about time to do a cousin reunion. Don't you think? When is Ryumi coming over to the states? If you guys travel together, you should know that you're always welcome in chi town. Miss ya!

i am so connecting with this post. i, too, have just come back to blogging. actually, started a new one. the condo, however, is no longer a new phenomenon. it was big fun decorating it when i first moved in. now, i only agonize over trying to keep it clean!
welcome back :-)

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! I miss you as a blogger, tho.
My advice: watch HGTV.

CONGRATS! Yes, home ownership definitely has its perks.
My only decorating advice is: Have fun! Oh. And definitely invest in a high quality, complete tool set.
