I had a wonderful birthday! \ud83d\ude00 I worked and got to say to everyone, “It’s my birthday!!” So naturally everyone said “Happy Birthday!” and smiled. And that made me happy. ^_^!<\/p>\n
I brought in little chocolate and almond cake thingies shaped like bears for my co-workers and that made them happy, which made me happy. I enjoyed them vicariously through them. <\/p>\n
People wished me happy birthday on Twitter and Facebook and e-mail. THANK YOU! \ud83d\ude00 It made me…..well, HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! XD<\/p>\n
Looking back, my 28th year was certainly eventful.<\/p>\n
Let’s see…I trained a lot with Sean Frew a lot, and learned various stand-up techniques.
\nI went to my cousin’s wedding.
\nI took on a lot of responsibility at work in regards to kids classes…and everything else at the office.
\nI got a kind of promotion in that I became a mentor for my fellow teachers and started mentoring 5 people.
\nThe Keishukai Honbu closed. \ud83d\ude41
\nI started training at Zest Fight Club to prepare for my Sengoku fight with Akano.
\nI got cut from Strikeforce. x_x;
\nI spent my first year away from my family on Christmas. ;_;
\nHad the worst day of my ENTIRE LIFE when I got very ill on New Years and had to pull out of my fight with Akano.
\nI got to go to London, where I’ve always wanted to go! I cut down to 125 lbs to fight Rosi Sexton…but I lost. Made a lot of friends and fans, though.
\n-_-;
\nThe Great Tohoku Earthquake happened and it rocked our world. I visited Nagoya and Osaka with Daniel and met a bunch of people at Alive Academy.
\nI made lots of friends, at work, and online! My chatroom became popular~! ^_^
\nI started sleeping really really badly….I struggled with sleeping pills.
\n I went to my second cousin’s wedding.
\n I fought Akano in Jewels! And lost -_-;
\nI TRANSFERED TO the new school that I’ve been wanting to go to for two and a half years!!!! XD
\n Made new friends!
\nStarted going to Ground Slam Dojo and met a ton of new fighters!
\nBecame Kids Coordinator (KC) at my new school and am taking on new responsibilities.<\/p>\n
So what’s my goal for this year? To win all my fights! and be very successful as KC. And I really don’t care that I’m one year away from 30! I was raised to happy on my birthday and appreciate each passing year, to look back and reflect on what I’ve learned. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
