Gomen-ne!

Hi Everyone!!! I've been sooo busy last few days and was not able to do the Irasshaimase on Friday or approve comments or invite everyone...please forgive me. When I had started this blog, I had no idea the magnitude of traffic this blog would generate! All I can say is "WOW!" and "THANKS!" Since I cannot commit to doing the Irasshaimase Fridays weekly, I'l be doing it every other week unless time permits.

Thanks for being paitent with me and thanks for sharing your memories!

BTW, Karen, you're killing me! LOL! I'm trying to catch up on your siggie lines for you pictures..oye!!! Keep them coming even if it's keepin' me busy (^o^)v

Sorry, Claudette...I know I have a serious problem here - I've truely become addicted to your blog. Taking care of a 6 month and a 3 year old has left me with little to no time to do much socializing outside of the home. This has become an easy outlet for me...and convenient too since I've become quite the multi-tasker...managing the home, taking care of the kids and becoming a champ blogger. :)
Rest assured though, I'll be heading back to work at the end of the month...so, in a way I'm trying to get all my blogging in now while I have the time and energy to do so. If I can help out in putting those siggie lines in for you...let me know. I just need to know how to do it.

Hey Karen!

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally enjoying your pictures!!! I'm loving' them!!! Keep them coming! Unfortunately, I was so young when we left Japan that I never thought of carrying a a camera to school, so most of my pics are from parties and the FilAM dances we all did.
..I'll post those later...I'm just enjoying seeing everyone else's pictures.

As for the siggie lines, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it even if it takes me a while to get all the pics on the blog w/their proper signature line (^o^)

Congrats on your upcoming job! What'll you be doing?

Can't wait to see all you guys when we go to SD in May! Mabel has suggested a mini reunion...I'll keep you updated if we do it...otherwise we should definitely have dinner w/the Santero's and Froy...oh yeah, the Rayos' should be in town also...

Mali said...

You're using the Japanese Faces (^_^) and not the side way FACES....you're hooked huh!!..COOL!

Islander Girl said...

Mali, sad to say, that's the only one I know...LOL! Can you please teach me more (^o^) ...I have to say, they're much cuter than the gaijin way...lol

Lica said...

Yeah Claudette if there is anything I can do to help out let me know!!!

Karen Abrenica Bernabe said...

Oh, I know Claudette - no offense taken. I could of done a better job at timing my postings...so, that you wouldn't be bombarded at once...but like I said, I need to take advantage of the time and energy that I have now while I'm still here at home with the kids.

I head back to work at the end of the month. I'll be working for Riverside Community Hospital as a Food Service Manager. It should be interesting trying to pull off the whole balancing act of family and work life.

Yeah, keep us posted when you get here in May. We'd love to get together with you all.

I think I'm blogged out for now...I'll give you a breaK or at least until I find a new stash of pictures to post. :)

Mali said...

as an aside, i guess mali, you were the one that submitted these scans to that site? why o why was i one of the "lucky" four to have their senior pic scanned? i love my 80s mullet.

Karen Abrenica Bernabe said...

Lance, I guess I was...I must of been a rep for my class - I have totally forgotten about that.

Big Castle Lance said...
