Discovery of Future


What do you want to be in your future?


When I was asked this question, I used to be clearer about what I wanted to be.


But in the reality, making a move into finding "future" is more difficult than telling my vision about the future to other people.


Of course, "boys be ambitious" is a very important attitude to achieve our own dream, but we, or at least, I have to be mentally tough to face the reality. I got a few jobs offered but I want to take more time to figure our what I really wanna be and where I wanna be for my near future, because I still have a plenty of time to do so.


Apart from job-searching, my life back home has been great. The life has been pretty hectic, but I've also been meeting with lots of my friends in my free time. Many childhood friends and Hiroshima friends... friends from abroad... the origine of my vitality!


Today, my friend took me to her university (Waseda) and I witnessed the life of university students in Japan. My uni life is as cool as thier life, but I enjoyed the difference between. I thank Kana-chan for bringing me into the new world today!


I'll probably be back in Hiroshima in a week. I haven't had enough family time since I came back so I'm looking forward to hunging out with my family. Of course with friends in Hiroshima as well!

house-sick syndrome

I've been surviving in Tokyo for a week. Well, this is where I grew up, but it looks different from what I remember. I didn't know that Tokyo was that busy. People say London is always busy. I don't think those who say so can survive in Tokyo. It's super. But since I came here, many of my childhood friends gave me a call and would remember the old days together, which reminded me that Tokyo is also my hometown. HATE TRAINS IN THE MORNING THOUGH! They can never be worse!

I'm living with my uncle couple. He was sorta old when he got married and he had been like my big brother in my childhood, so I'm still close to him, and his wife is very friendly too so I don't have to be conscious of being polite to them and am enjoying living with them. They wanted kids but they could not, so I think they are enjoying having me here too.

One thing that I'm learning by living with them is "house-sick syndrome". My aunt is allergic to any artificial smell, so everything we use in the apartment has to be organic with no artificial smell. It's so weird that soap doesn't have any smell and also I can smell nothing after shower. She told me that when they moved to Tokyo, they had to change everything in the house to sweep away the exisiting smells. I guess I'm having a very healthy life for definite though. Everything is organic! hmmm... very interesting though!

Go go Kaori!
