today is skirt day

Nga and I decided to wear skirts today, so that we can wear our newly-bought boots. although the skirts we have are not brand-new, they still look and feel good. i just washed the 2 skirts and 1 pants i bought from 2nd street yesterday. i didn't plan on buying anything, but the skirts were really good. so i ended up buying those things. imagine, the 3 items i bought only cost me 280yen.

before we went to 2nd street, we visited febri. makino-san picked up mae at her apartment, then came to gidai to pick me up and also nga. we went to join mutsumikai (support group for foreign students, meeting every wednesday) for a few minutes to drink tea and eat some food. i wasn't able to talk that much because i had to entertain a phone call from the filipino store in tokyo. i ordered some food and drinks. so, after a few minutes of talking with some people at mutsumikai, makino-san said we have to go. so, we left for the hospital. near the hospital, there's a new mall that will open on the first of april. it's quite big, and febri said there will be a starbucks shop there. anyway, we went inside the hospital, bought some flowers and visited febri on the 5th floor. the room can hold 4 patients. there was one other patient in the room. we had to talk softly so as not to disturb the other patient. febri's baby is so cute. her lips looks the same as febri's husband. febri said her baby's eyes are not as round as hers. we somehow think she's more japanese-looking than indonesian-looking.

so, after the visit to febri, we went to 2nd street, which is just nearby. makino-san dropped us off there. he bought something before he left to meet his daughter. i think Nga bought 6 items, and Mae bought 3 for herself and 3 for danna. from 2nd street, we walked to jusco. i bought a mini-rose flower at the flowershop, and conditioner at the supermarket section. we then went to the shoes section, and tried on the boots. they were so cheap! the price tag showed 1000yen. but with a half-price tag below it. nga had to clarify if it means 500yen for each pair of boots. she liked two boots, and if it's only 500yen each, she's planning to buy both. and, it's only 500yen! so, we really bought the boots, and decided to wear it with a skirt today. and so, here we are, looking like japanese girls with our fashion. i will never get used to wearing skirt or boots. but it's fun to try to be fashionable sometimes, even if the fashion doesn't really suit me.
