3 years later!

Oh my gosh you guys!
It has been three years and one day that I started this blog! I can't believe all that has happen since then. I had done a lot this past year as you might have read in a year in review post around New Years. I still have some pictures and posts of some grand places from my Japan trip and I have more places planned to go to this year but mostly local or in country. I am actually going to the town of Luray in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia this Saturday with my girlfriend Ashley. We are staying some where nice and then hitting Luray Caverns! It will be nice to get away for a weekend and I have been working everyday since January 17th! Look forward to those pictures as I will take her a ride in the mountains too as long as the road isn't closed from the apparent snow that we will receive in the morning.
More good news, I am still a server part time but last Tuesday I picked up a full time job! It is also environmental in nature where I help with oil (like heating oil) tank inspections, checks, removals and clean ups if necessary  Last week I helped a family clean a spill at there house so now they can move back in, they were happy that it was fixed and plus I saved the water table! It isn't high paying but it will give me the field experience that I could use. I get to travel around the state and town so I always get a new setting.
Also guys, I am planning on going to Katsucon that is February 15th-17th at the Gaylord Resort at the National Harbor right outside of Washington D.C. If you can make it, maybe we can meet! It will be a blast and I will be there as Press for Missionstartpodcast.com!
You can still follow me on Google + and even Instagram if you care! I hope to put more work into the site soon and also more time in photography. It has been so busy with the new job that I haven't taken anything new in a looong time. I did get a new camera as well! Also last week it was freezing, below freezing!!!

More to come guys, more to come. It has been three years but I am not stopping for the world!!!!!

Catch you later!

Ito en Oi Ocha Bottled Green tea

I got this quiet often when I was in Japan and at the Family Mart at least it came with a Mario charm! I got the bolder taste one and it always had a great flavor. Lucky me, I can find the same bottle here in my town in a regular bottle and 2 litter bottle as well!

Crump Park and Meadow Farm Jan 13'

Went to Crump Park awhile ago and it was a gorgeous day indeed. Also known as Meadow Farm park, it has a old farm house on site and also animals! Anyways, check out some of the pictures.

I was loving the blue sky! I want more of it, it has been too cloudy and depressing. 

Ramen in Japan

If there is one thing that I can not get here at home is a real tasty bowl of ramen. Only have the packaged bowls and not hand made noodles and the most awesome broth. Below we have some cabbage  seaweed, slices of pork and also a hard boiled egg. This is so filling and super satisfying! This is one thing I miss about Japan, getting to a ramen shop and being well fed. 

Ghost at my House at Night

So back in December I decided to mess around with long exposure for fun and took a few pictures of my house and driveway. I was mostly bored but hey check it out!

I ran up the driveway with my cell phone out so the camera could get the screen glowing, love to do more like this again.

Lottee Tokyo Skytree Popsicle

So while in Japan I stopped at a convenience store and they had some Popsicles that were themed for the grand tower Tokyo Skyrtree. I of course picked this up in Asakusa which is near the tower and from there the tower is easily seen. It was pretty tasty actually!!!

Vending Machine of Japan Round 2

I grew very found of Mets cola, especially Grapefruit! Mets Grapefruit is surely one of the best soda's that I have had. I love grapefruit but as a soda was a great refreshing experience to have. I noticed that Kyoto had a better access to them than Tokyo. Tokyo had some vending machines with them in cans but Kyoto had more bottles available in machines. Of course you can find it in store to if you like. 

Williamsburg 2012 Christmas Season

On New Years Eve my girlfriend and I decided to go walk around Williamsburg for enjoyment! She hasn't walked around the open air museum of Williamsburg so I acted as a tour guide. It was a somewhat nice day but the breeze made it chilly! Anyways enjoy the few pictures that I did take.

We were not the only people that thought it be a great day to come and walk here on the last day of 2012.
