4 days could not eat, the Amazon saved me …

私は今までも恋愛のことまだ全くわかりません。

so i did some research online (日本語で), 初めて日本語で恋愛の悩みのため …

… こういうタイプの男性は追われると逃げたくなる人ではないでしょうか。

( まぁ … 男だけじゃないのかなぁ、… i think this whole world, if you treat someone too nice, they will use that and 逆に be not nice to you … except me. however, too bad, in this world, no one really values me in that way, that is why i am always so alone … )

… 追えば男は女を捨てて逃げる!

( interesting comment … i guess i am too easy, 追われても too lazy to 逃げる, 必要がないし、と思ってね … まぁ、私は残念ですけど、男じゃないからさ )

… >重い
この言葉を言う人とは残念ながら将来はないと思う

(でも、私べつに将来のこと考えていないけど…, 結婚なんても興味もないし, but if the author meant, any boyfriend, if they say 重い to their girlfriend, this guy is just a person that wants no responsibility = they will be around when you are healthy, they will disappear when you are sick … then, i think i might have to rethink about something … )

なのに、なんで。。。なんで思わなかったこと言われたのかなぁ。。。

turns out, after he said something shocking to me on SUN night (Jan 29), i got so shocked and weak, the whole night i could not sleep, shivering and crying all night, thinking we are no more. my heartbeat went super fast and i woke up after only 2-3 hours of sleep and could not go back to sleep again. my roommate said … 罪深いって。。。一生忘れない。。。

MON, i took one day off. PM went to immigration to renew my visa. i was so sad while i was in the immigration. last year, when i had no real job, i was so grateful that the boy, who i just started being with, cared so much about my staying here or not. 感動した。 now, this year when i was in immigration, he did not even know that i was there (in immigration), i doubt if he even care if i can stay in japan or not now …

TUE, i went to work and my boss told me to see the doctor. and on the way to the clinic i already knew i got something … when i arrived i felt fever already … chill all over my body … in the clinic, the nurses told me, “インフルエンザでしたって”, i was super shocked, after all, i took the vaccine だよ!2000円で、勿体ない!the doctor said i belonged to the 60% that does not help even took the 注射。

but thanks to the sickness, i could finally sleep and stopped the shock from him for 1 night. cause my head hurt so bad i could not think of anything.

WED, THUR (today) stay home, … only later today i could go convenience store to buy tofu and more lotion tissues.

i was so hurt and sick there were 4 days i could not eat anything …

but luckily, i bought mineral water from the Amazon Japan for the first time last week, who would have known, this week, turns out i can drink HALF the box of the NATURAL MINERAL WATER … from Italy, without them i have no water in my room and had to walk far away to boil water and wait and boil more … and spread my germs while my body was so weak … not a good idea, right?

sigh. なぜか、私が辛い時、いつもそばに誰もいないのかなぁ〜

べつに、誰かいれば助かると思わないけど、でも、一番気になる人はいつも自分の悩みとか分からなくて、なんか寂しくてガッカリする気持ち堪らなく。。。

New Supporter: Alexis

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Alexis. I also go by Alex, Lex, Lexie and even Moo. This is my third time living in Japan so I must like it. The first two times I lived in Shikoku, Kagawa prefecture. Now I live in Machida. I’m an English teacher. In my former life, I was a social worker for the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. Work stress, traffic, gas prices and LA hipsters made it easy for me to quit my $60K a year job on September15, 2011, sell all of my stuff including my precious new Jeep Patriot, and move to the land of the rising sun which many people have feared visiting since the Great Tohoku Earthquake.
Despite the decease in salary, frequent tremors and cold weather, I have enjoyed my stay so far. First of all, I love  Machida Garden! My room is huge. There is a garden. It was more like a jungle when I moved in at the end of September. We have spiders, snakes, a neighborhood cat and other creatures out there. Plus I only have four roommates now and we each have our own rooms. No room share for me. I graduated from college over ten years ago! I like knowing that other people are in the house, but not too many as I enjoy having personal, quiet time. I’m an INFJ if that means anything to anyone. We are not a party house by any stretch of the imagination.
Second, I love my job. I have ZERO work stress. I only work about two days a week. The other three days I work just a few hours and then I have two days off. I teach children and adults. Sometimes I teach at the school or I go out to a company. It’s a diverse job and the work conditions are excellent. I used to work for NOVA and in comparison I feel like I won the best job in the world ticket! My perspective may change next month, next year or never but I enjoy now.
Last, my lifestyle is quite comfortable and relaxed. On an average day I wake up at 10am, cook my breakfast and lunch, take a yoga class, study Japanese and teach for a few hours. I feel safe and secure. Sometimes I walk close to the curb to avoid getting hit by a taxi but other than that I almost always feel calm and at peace.
So glad I came here and look forward to sharing my perspective, thoughts and experiences with those who live in a shared house or are thinking about living in one.
Namaste. ALEXIS
