good morning Anne my love!

how r u? i got up rather early this morning comparing my usual
timetable. but i feared to be late till i checked my clock. because
today is Tuesday. sometimes i become unconscious even what day of
the week is it today. there were several cases before that i went to my
school in wrong day of the week. when i reached the school, i found
the parking area empty and the doors were locked. again i drudged
along to return home.

just now, i went out of my door and looked down from the stairs as i
heard my cat weeping somewhere outdoors. and i found the mom cat
and her three children directly downward. they were all standing and
picking up something on the ground. mom cat saying something to her
kids and licking them. i barely looked at them in the open air
especially at the scene of them all together. as it become cool i
shutdown my door in the midnight yesterday.

how about my japanese letter? could you enjoy it? if i can i will write
a japanese letter once a week hereafter. to write japanese letter
costs more than to write in English for i must translate it and to
translate natural japanese to English is rather hard job for me.
perhaps what you see in my japanese letter is the nearest what i am
or what i think what i am.

thanks a lot for your kind consideration. that*s so nice. but if you
allow me, the best naming is this (first name only).

this style must be used within very intimate friends such as from a
women to her lover. if you use this it will be your exclusive privilege.
what a bitter-tongued person i am, you may think.

nowadays i use your chinese name orally and anne formally but it is
not the reason why i ask you the latter at the top of your letter. i am
particular about the "your Anne". it is the most precious for me that
you call yourself "your Anne". you are not mine. it is not above
conventional expression i know. but i like it.

really? "enbun" means salty ingredient. when and where did you lick
me?. if you say indeed you did, i want to lick you too! oooom! oh, please,
please make me lick! (what saying i am?)

i guess "go-en" might come. "en" means fate or karma. but this phrase
"goen ga arimasu ne" is used in more light sense at the present time
such a case when some person meets up twice in same day with another
person whom he does not know well at another unexpected place.

however i gradually come to think sometimes that i had met my fate
of you. it*s still uncertain.
