31, 2007 Happy
Halloween! I went trick or treats with my son today. It was fun! He actually
doesn't know what candies are. We came home and started throwing them
away. Which is good, it should be like that for now.
October 19, 2007 It's
raining
It has been raining
For about a week now
Yesterday was very windy
And stormy
It felt like last year
When we had a big storm
It was big
We even lost power
For about a week
We have to spent a few nights with our friends
Who live near Microsoft
Because their power came in early
They had a wonderful dog
Who made me love dogs
I wasn't crazy about dogs before that
One day we heard that their dog passed away
It was heart breaking
I was hurt
Not as much as them of-course
Now I heard they have a new dog
We haven't met her yet
I'm kind of tired of the rain
It's very windy too
And driving in such weather
Isn't fun!
The
rain drops falling on the deck

The squirrel in these pictures likes to sun bath by that tree in front
of our house. It's so funny the way it act, it's like it is showing off
it's moves to Penda. Penda will be at the window watching it and saying
out loud "sqh, sqh..", which means squirrell. Sometimes the whole family
will be there chasing each other, which seems like dancing and a big preformance
for us.

9, 2007 I
have decided that I'm going to eat healthy, very healthy and am going
to make healthy eating part of my life. I'm going to prepare / eat at
least a hot meal each day, home made. I'm going to take all of the junk
food, fast food, sodas away from my diet. This decision has been triggered
by what I have seen this weekend.

8, 2007 Here
is another reason why Americans needs to put up maps in their children's
bedrooms, travel more and make sure their children takes Geography in
school. I went shopping today at a nearby mall and at my favorite clothing
store called Forever21. A woman behind the counter asked me where I was
from. I don't even know how she could tell hat I wasn't from here. I said
NAMIBIA and of-course like many many other people here, she had never
heard of Namibia before. I told her that it's a country by South Africa
and then she said "by Africa", I thought, by Africa, what's
that mean? I said is a country in Africa and then she said "Oo oo,
that's where I'm going next year". I was like "where" and
then she said "Africa". I am graduating next year from my high
school and my father asked me to choose a country in the world to visit
and I chose Africa. Africa is not even a country is a continent, anyway
I asked her where in Africa and she said just Africa. I seriously couldn't
believe that this girl who is graduating next year from high school doesn't
even know that Africa is not a country and they call Seattle one of the
most literate city in the United States. Anyway, I told her to go to Namibia.
She asked if it was beautiful and I replied, very beautiful. She then
told me that I have a beautiful accent, which made me smile. You
have to see this (Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question
during the pageant) if you haven't already!

picture of me and my son was taken by Fumi at an Ethiopian restaurant
in Seattle while waiting for food. He was being a little impatient, so
we decided to read a book together

We had a nice long weekend. A friend who I met during my undergraduate
studies about nine years ago visited us. l can't believe it was that long.
She is from Japan and now here in the US with work for a few months. I
visited her in Japan once and then she came to attend our wedding in Maryland
seven years a go. Her next trip is Namibia, so she says..
