Go on your nearest major airport’s website, check which flight is leaving next and post the flight number, a picture of its destination and any association you may have with that!

This compass is not really a souvenir but something I bought myself. It was only 100 yen in one of the famous 100 yen stores, and I got it because it’s recommended to have a compass with you when you go hiking. I didn’t have to use it though, I managed not to get lost for a change!

This was our garden a while ago when they finished adding the roof to the structure in the back. Just a few more weekends and it’ll be done I think :)

A smart phone. Even my mom has a fancier phone than I do! But then again, I can’t be bothered to spend a lot of money on a phone and a contract.

About 300 to 400 CDs. They’re all promotional CDs sent to JaME, waiting to be reviewed some day. In the mean time, they’re gathering dust underneath my bed…

I guess it’s this, this Spanish book of poetry by a Jewish poet. My Spanish teacher got it when we were in Toledo, and I borrowed it from her. Some of it is quite easy to understand for me, other parts make no sense whatsoever.

The orange fuzzy thingie is a little mascot for the world-cup I got at the supermarket :D

I didn’t think I had a favorite glass until today. I got this when I was a child, from a man who was supposed to engrave a mirror for us or something like that. When we went to his house to pick it up, he said it wasn’t finished yet. It would be finished within an hour, so he told us to go shopping in the meantime. To make up for the long wait, he asked me my name and engraved this glass for me. I have only used it once because I’m afraid I’ll break it or something, so I just use it to put pins in.

I swapped addresses with a few people and bought a few postcards. I wasn’t really paying attention I guess because I only realized afterwards that it had to relate to your local area… However, no one complained haha!

This is what I sent:

After a few weeks, I have received these cards from my awesome Tweak Today friends :D

I’d say “become fluent in Japanese and Spanish,” but I’m actually learning those two languages so I guess they don’t really count any more. There are a few more languages I want to learn, but I also want to learn how to properly play the guitar. I actually have a guitar and can play some random melodies and solos on it, but I don’t get much further than that…

I chose the mission “favourite snack at work:”

My boss got some sesame cookies/snacks from somewhere. They’re basically 50% sesame and 50% sugar but they’re so good and addictive, too.

The name ‘Mithredat’ actually comes from Persia: the treasurer of King Syrus was called this way. Silly me forgot to attach the last H but I like it better that way. I don’t really use it as a nickname though (no one calls me that way), but rather as a user name for about a million of things.

Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of The Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods; Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah” (Ezra I:7-8)

The sakura (Japanese cherry blossom) in our garden is blooming again.
