I just had BBQ and Fondue party in last two days.

BBQ was Japanese style and for my friend's bf back to ... St. something (it's country, now I heard 5times and still can't remember)We went to canyon park in cedar and met professor for my old major.

Next day, I had a fondue party with my nursing classmates. We stayed until midnight and had sooooo much fun :)

I noticed I have different style of friendship depending on Japanese or others. When I can speak Japanese, I can show everything and laugh easily. BBQ day was soooo fun and laughed entire time. Also, I am able to notice a little details how people think in Japanese. Maybe because I know how they feel as Japanese. Somebody starts BBQ and others prepare different things,,, then clean up etc... it is so organized and not only one person do everything.

American friends, it is very hard to laugh together. But this member at fondue party, I always laugh just like with Japanese. These friends are very rare and I really wanted to keep them as friends all the time! They don't judge but care about others but still super funny. During the first couple month in nursing program, I thought I will be alone and never have any friends to hung out. So I am so happy to be involved in this group and can have my opinion.

My bestest friend in Japan just got engaged. We have been friends before we even started walking. We never talk when I am in US but whenever I go home, we always hung out just like when we were kids.

She wants to be a opera/musical (not sure) singer, she is talented and sang solo in play we did in elementary school. Since then, we sang together a lot but never seen her singing on the stage until when I was 20. I went to her high school concert which she sang as an OB. I was shocked and didn't realized how good she was. My tears came out naturally and couldn't stop even I had no idea what she was singing about because it was Italian.

We fought a lot when we were kids. But after all fights, we just accept everything and never fought since... elementary school?? wow!

She is never on time, do everything slower than everybody and rarely gets mad.

I am always on time (used to be haha), do everything as fast as I can and always grumpy.... (well not after I grow up)

She is a cute feminine girl and I was tan boy.

I have no idea why we got this close but we are like twins.

After I got email about engagement from her, we talk a little bit more about ourselves.

We changed a lot but our friendship hasn't changed at all.

She told me she will have her wedding in 1 or 2years. So, hopefully I can attend to her wedding. If I can't, I will hate myself.

I wonder when I can go home next. I really miss my friends and family in Japan.
