Crazy girls
I had one of the craziest weekend in my time here so far. There are so many advantages living the single carefree life in Japan :p
On Saturday, I had a dance event in Kumamoto city Nikko Hotel. So we drove up to KC and got there around 4:30ish. Then did the opening dance at 6pm. Then waited for an hour before our next dance. The whole show wrapped up at around 8:30 something.
The ALTs were up in Fukuoka watching a baseball game, and then heading out for some dancing afterwards. My friend Eri and I decided we'll go and join them :p So, after the dance finished in Kumamoto, we drove to Fukuoka. We got there around 10:30pm. Parked my car, walked to the club. Danced till 3:50am. Decided we had enough...since we didn't book a hotel room, we hopped back into my car and drove home (^0^) Was too sleepy along the high way, so stopped at a service station along the way home, slept in the car for an hour and a half. Got up at 5:30am. And then drove home. I got home at 9am on Sunday morning. Crawled into bed and didn't get up until 1:00 in the afternoon.
Sunday was spent on the sofa feeeeeling really tired. >_< It was a great weekend. You should try it sometime!!! LoL (^^)v
Aussies lost to Italy...They played their best. Thanks Socceroos. I love Tim Cahill...he's such a hottie.

Better Life?
Yesterday I was asked by my town office to do some translation for these two chinese girls who has just come to Mizukami. That makes the total of the Chinese girl population up to 7 now.
So, what's their purpose? Well, they all got married to someone here. These "girls" range between 24 to late 30s. They met their husbands through some wedding consulant agency. The girls had to pay the agents money to come over here. They were telling me it costs quite a lot to come over. And now they're finally here, they don't think it's much. They actually regret coming... So, what made them think that Mizukami was so great in the first place?
I think Mizukami is great because I will only be here for three years. I have a car and access to explore and live my life on this island. But these girls, they're married, with no means of transportation unless their husbands drive them. They don't have the freedom I have because their purpose is to have babies for these men. The girls on the other hand wants money in return. So what kind of relationship is this? or what kind of arrangement have they made this out to be? Why would these girls even consider marrying old, countryside, Japanese men?
Where is the love? How can they sustain the relationship to make it into a lifelong thing? Apparently these girls have to give their husband money every month? I'm not sure how true it is, but that's what one of the girl said.
I do sincerely hope they find love with their husband, if not now, then as they grow old together. This is the life they've chosen, they should just make the most out of the situation. That's my personal opinion.
Bushie will go back home soon. I'm going to miss him.

Empty Promises
Why are there disappointments in life? Was looking forward to meeting up with a friend sometime next week, but something came up and it had to be cancelled. It's unavoidable to have these things happen, but it still dampens my mood. Guess because I knew my friend was going to cancel on me in the first place...and it turned out to be true. Why do I do this to myself? Set myself up for failure and disappointment (>_<) It's been a grey day...
It's the weekend, hopefully it'll be an interesting one.
Hope there are no disappointments in your life.

好想談恋愛~~~
It's been a while since I've actually liked someone. That butterfly in the stomach feeling. That nervousness when you get when you see that person. That longing to be with them. That never want to settle for anything less than za za zu~!
Sometimes I think I may never love again, it feels like I've forgotten how to love.
What is love? How do you know that you've loved?
Reflecting back to my past relationships, have I really been in love? That's what I've been thinking about lately. I want to know~
Really feel like going home today. I miss my family and friends. Don't worry, life is good here, but nothing beats Australia. Home~58weeks.

Life's been a bit quiet lately. Nothing much has been happening. I'm experiencing a rare moment in my life where everything is on a flat line. No real ups or downs, just living each day as it is. But at the back of my mind I'm getting this nagging feeling like something BIG's about to happen.
Don't know whether it's my imagination or I really need and want some drama - so there it is :)
Let some dramaaaaa happen.
It's hot today.
