Wednesday

Erica had had a pain on her back for weeks and weeks. We arranged to meet on Wednesday and go to a
Victorian tea house, but she sounded alike she was in so much pain when I phoned her, so I suggested to postpone the date.
I started packing which I didn't really want to. I packed one suitcase and tried to carry it...oh my gosh. That was freeking heavy. I don't think the airline would allow it. I want to bring a lot of things back home. Everything my friends and family gave me is prescious. I can ship them home, but I want to take them home as much as possible. Yeah, it is difficult.
Plus, I felt so sick in my stomach. I had been feeling bad since Tuesday and finally I felt like throwing up or something. I didn't throw up, but I was stuck at home the whole day and felt so hopeless for some reason. I arranged to go to a hockey game with Emily and Rick, but I couldn't decide whether I wanted to go till the very last moment.
My host sister was leaveng for Kelowna, so I stood up and went outside. It was cold but the wind touched my hot face and I felt fine. On the way to Emily's house, I was crying and crying. I felt so tiny and meaningless.
I was just emotional, I think. You know, I have to leave soon. I feel that I have to ditch all the things I made and all the people I met. I didn't go back home before, but I am getting ready to leave Kamloops and excited to go back home to Japan. However, it is always tough to leave something you cherish very much.
When I arrived at her place, Emily and Rick said happy birthday to me and gave me a present. There was a very pretty and really thoughtful card on it. I opened the present. "Thank you, it is a very pretty scarf." I pulled it out to wear it and found Cheesies underneath!!! HAHAHAHAHA They made my day. I was a little bit depressed, but I was so happy that they thought about me and chose what I would like. The card which Emily made was very beautiful, too.

We went to the hockey arena. There were so many people in front of the arena. We were waiting in a line to get a ticket. Then, a guy came up to me and said, "Hey, you want a free ticket?" I froze and thought...what's the catch?? Yeah, I got a free ticket! I wonder why he chose me though. There were some people who were buying tickets.
I bought shaving ice called tropical snow. There were lots of flavors and I chose pink lemonade. It was pretty good. yum yum...
The game was so thrilling and exciting. At first, I was so scared because the players and the pack hit on the windows and made big noises. The players fought and the judges didn't stop. But as the game went on, I got used to it and at last I was like "Let's go go go go!!! Blazers!!!" I enjoyed it a lot!! I should have known how much fun a hockey game is before...I would be a big fan of hockey and would have come to the arena to cheer for the Kamloops Blazers again and again!!! Well, I can't help it though. I should be happy that I have at least watched a game!
They won the game against Seattle. It was my perfect birthday present. I wish I can find a hockey team which I like in Japan, too, I had a wonderful night thanks to Emily and Rick. They are awesome.

Ok, Tuesday...I met my Canadian brother again at a game arcade. He loves Dance dance revolution, and we promised to play it together in October. I had been avoiding the topic because I thought it would be too embarassing. I was unwilling to go there, but I was like, "OK, it should be the last time to see him, and I should keep the promise as a sister."

Actually, it was quite fun. I was still embarassed, but the more I played, the more excited I got :) But the thing is...my Canadian brother is SO GOOD at the game! He should use his talents for something else! Like...maybe he should become a dancer or something. He was that good at the game. He was fast and professional. I was quite impressed! Maybe we should go to a game arcade when he comes to Japan. It should be fun. I'm actually looking forward to it ;)

After I got home, I made sushi for my sick host sister as I promised. I couldn't find any good fish at the super market, so I used imitation crab meat, green onions, cucumbers and fish flakes. She seemed to enjoy the sushi :) I hoped she would get better soon.
