Thank you so much to all my beautiful friends for taking such good care of me when I was home for those 12 days. I count my lucky stars to have such wonderful friends in my life. I love you guys ^_~ It was definitely a whirlwind trip, I was out nearly every day and every night. The weekend was crazy...but I had such a fabulous time. I hardly saw mum and dad but I guess they sort of knew that was going to happen, and they were cool about it. I had 1 home made meal and the rest of the time I was just eating out...I come back to Japan and my boss tells me "...hmm, I bet you ate alot over there, you've gained weight..." told you Jap men are blunt!
There were a few friends I didn't see and I feel really bad about it, but I simply just ran out of time...Please don't hold a grudge, I still love ya.

Yes, I did see my special friend. He told me what I needed to hear to get over him completely. It's so hard being the mature one out of a past relationship. I called him just to pass on my condolences, but he took it as in I still wanted something to do with hime...maybe I did, but after what he said it just made me realise that I was probably hanging on to nothing, even though we went through some really difficult phases together. He said that his father and his girlfriend are all that he has left now, that they're his family, even though he has many brothers and sisters and great cousins. He doesn't see his friends because most of them are married, that's such a silly way of thinking...Being married doesn't mean they're cutting people out of their lives, they're still the same, they still hang out and have fun. I don't know whether he knows what he wants to do with his life. He was saying that by next year he will have moved to Melbourne and that there will be no way to contact him...*sigh* I really hope he finds what he loves in Melbourne, or where ever he is...That's a chapter over for good.

It's a cool day in Mizukami today. The breeze is cold, but the sky is blue and the sun is out. Summer is nearly over...

The plane tickets has just arrived in my hot little hands, I am ready to go...darn, haven't packed yet, or bought any presents. Just have to see what I can find at duty free. It's been more than a year, wonder how things have changed...
One of my main reasons for opting out of OZ was to get away from a messy break-up. It was to clear the air between the two of us. He and I would forever find excuses to see each other, and get together whenever we can. Whether it'll be to have coffee to chat about our current love situations, or to torture each other with what happenend in the past. I remember on his birthday, he called me to ask me to his party, his girlfriend wasn't there...all his friends were, they didn't even think it was strange that I turned up. Guess they're used to our fishiness. Anyways, all this time I've been here, I've heard news of him through the grapevine. His mother passed away, he's now relocated his work closer to his girl, he doesn't take time out to hang with the boys, and that kind of stuff...Wonder whether I will see him? I know I'll def. see his friends. Don't know whether I want to see him...Don't want us to be in a tangled web again.
Won't be at the office tomorrow, heading to the city to present to the newbies. Then leaving around 6 in the morning on the Friday. Flying to Manila, stopping over for 3 hours and then flying to Sydney. Will be home at 8:55am on Saturday. OMG!!! Am so excited. My heart is already there...can't wait for my body to catch up with my mind and my heart :)

琥珀色黃昏像糖在很美的遠方　你的臉沒有化妝我卻瘋狂愛上
思念跟影子在傍晚一起被拉長　我手中那張入場券陪我數羊

薄荷色草地芬芳像風沒有形狀　我卻能夠牢記你的氣質跟臉龐
冷空氣跟琉璃在清晨很有透明感　像我的喜歡被你看穿

攤位上一朵艷陽　我悄悄出現你身旁
你慌亂的模樣　我微笑安靜欣賞

我頂著大太陽　只想為你撐傘　你靠在我肩膀 　深呼吸怕遺忘
因為撈魚的蠢遊戲我們開始交談　多希望話題不斷　園遊會永不打烊

汽球在我手上　我牽著你瞎逛　有話想對你講　你眼睛卻裝忙
雞蛋糕跟你嘴角果醬我都想要嘗　園遊會影片在播放　這個世界約好一起逛

I feel sick. Went on a what seems to be like a "rollercoaster" ride yesterday. The dance group performed in one of the biggest events yesterday in Amakusa~Himedo. It was 3hours away, so we traveled together in a lime green bus. The bus driver was crazy, he drove so fast around the winding road. I felt and still feel so sick. But, the performance itself was excellent. Had so so so much fun :) I LOVE dancing!!! Sakura Dance Group Rocks (^_^)

I'm going home on Friday...Yeahhhhh!!!

7days and counting...

Going home in a week's time...time is flying so fast, I can't wait. But before that there's so much to do here. Summer is such a great time to hang out with friends and just drink, dance and chat the night away. Plus in Japan there are so many Summer Festivals to go to.
My nursery school will be having their summer festival on Saturday, the littlies were practising their march outside the office today. Their little faces so genki and eager, and the kids that are carrying the float around were so proud of themselves. They will also be dancing and having a juice drinking competition. Since Japanese fireworks are so cheap, they will be finishing off the night with fireworks, I can't wait to see this festival. I want to wear a yukata but I don't think I'll have the chance to buy one and wear it, might see what my host family can lend me...Might ask a friend to go with me (^_=)
On Sunday, the dance team will be participating in a big performance in Amakusa, somewhere down North near the beach. This is apparently a really big event, we've been practising so hard. We're going to have so much fun. We're having a pre-celebration BBQ at one of the lady's house...more drinking and eating. Fun Fun Fun!!!
