茶碗 。。。超小さかったけど 。。。

behind all these seemingly nice photos of food, it actually represents a friend that had to go back to her home country and this meal, was probably, our last meal together in japan for 2012.

トンカツ is the least of my fav. food, but she liked it, so i was like, ok …

i have seen SOOOO many people comes and goes.

it makes me so tired i already have no more words for this.

i hope that i do not have to end this by leaving here.

i still LOVE 五目麺、every time i go to a new restaurant, and if they have this type of noodles, even though they have other noodles or dishes that seem extraordinary delicious, i still cannot get my hands off this BOWL of NOODLES and just had to order this ><.

oh geez.

and i do not see how i will stop this “once in a while habit” anytime soon.

close-up of the 五目麺,  doesn’t it look delicious? ★

ok, this is probably the VERY FIRST STAR STAR necklace i ever have in my life so far. when you want to get yourself out of sadness, you want to defer your attention to something else, things that makes you feel (at least a little) “interests” or “excitement” or “passion” about.

well, honestly, i do not feel much about anything except human relationships of any kind. yes, it is down to this point. long time ago i already had no interests of “physical” things.

however, no choice, what else can i do, right? because not many people can play with me. so i had to find something else.

as interesting as the look it may seem, i never even had 1 chance to wear this …

this one, on the contrast,  i had the chance to wear, however, not enough to call it my favorite.

how to make your own life better?
as a foreigner in a foreign country, i was always asked, dont you feel bored? are you satisfied now?

well, it really depends on what you do. sometimes, i feel like having a sense of unbelievable achievement, but 30% of the time, i also feel like, why not?

i do admit, for the least, this time, NOW, is a few times better than the life i used to be in USA, even though the person that i miss the most not around me, i still get satisfaction with the envirnoment, the people, the style here. so much fit me.

when my american friends, not the “open” one, but the ones that has a more closed mind, they might have a hard time understand my preferences. and i also have a hard time telling them how much i am not interested in white boys, crying out loud they all knew i dated white boys before, right? but what they really did not know is, i really had no choice.

but for the clever clever ones like frances, or the ones that also have interests in Asian countries, without my saying anything, they do not have any questions about this. they understand why i had to leave and choose this path.

recently i was told of the difference. IQ high, and smart, they are actually completely different things. ~.~ so i guess frances belong to the ones that are “smart”, haha. so because of this, even though with her at this age, she is still so sharp and does not allow herself to have a closed mind. ^^
