Yesterday, September 13th was my dad’s birthday.
I’m so lucky to have you as my father.
Love you!
Also….thank you for Capriccio for making
a special birthday cake!

My last and only bit of summer-y event.
Worked all day in yukata which was a lot of fun.
Then the store manager invited 3 other girls and myself
to the roof top to see the firework
and treated us to beer and banquet.
Fun!!
So glad I got to see firework before the summer ends.

random pieces of my days
I’m like this cat
….in many ways.
Sadly, it looks kind of natural…
…and you look kind of familiar.
my very secret addiction
Crane game.
When you walk around Tokyo,
sometimes,
you find random cucumbers.
Sneak peak of my life.
I can’t believe it’s been more than a month
since the last time I’ve updated my blog.
July was unbelievably busy,
well, to be accurate,
I made it busy.
I will be like this until I reach ‘the point’.
I will keep running.
But please don’t forget,
I think about you
and
I miss you.
**************************************
You ask why I am so busy?
I think it’s because there are only 24 hours in a day.
It’s not my fault.
I got an iphone.
Whoa, technology,
you amazes me.
On a train.
Reading a book.
The window is opened.
The moment the train enters
the tunnel,
strong wind blew
blowing the pages of the book.
Suddenly a bookmark that I never noticed being there
falls on the floor.
I pick up.
On the bookmark it says
成功するまで続けず
途中であきらめてしまえば、
それで失敗である。 （松下幸之助）
If you don’t try until you are successful,
and if you give it up half way,
only then, it is a failure.
(Yukinosuke Matsushita)
****************
Sometimes
the right words fall upon from nowhere,
like it was meant to be.
I wonder
how people I’ve met in Ishinomaki
are doing these days.
I wonder
if they’ve found a place to live
besides school classrooms.
****************************
Looking at the film photos
that I took in Ishinomaki,
it makes me miss all the smiles I met there.
Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
~Coco Chanel
I told somebody
that I like wearing shades.
I like to wear shades
because it makes me feel like
there is a wall between
the world around and
the world I stand.
It helps me feel okay
walking through crowds.
I hate walking through crowds
but this way,
I feel like I am just
being inside a weird game
in which you are supposed to
walk through crowds
for some unknown reasons.
It’s just a game.

枯渇
私、今まで
素直じゃない部分とか、
人を尊敬することに対して
けちな部分が沢山あって、
この人凄いなあ、って思えることがあんまり無かったんだけど。
…というか、思わないようにしてた？
変にプライドが高かったり、
おごってる部分が、正直自分にはあるから。
でも最近は、もったいながらずに
この人、凄い。
って、前よりも素直に思えるようになった。
思えるようになったのか、
「凄い人」と話せるチャンスがただ単に以前よりも増えているのか。
どっち？
どっちも。
そう、どっちも。
愛情と一緒で、尊敬の念って
沢山注いだから枯渇することはないんだ。
むしろ、きっと尊敬の念を素直に注いだ分だけ
自分の理想とするもの、
目指す場所も
レベルアップするんだ。
だから、
もっと沢山尊敬できる人に出会おう。
そんな風に本気で思う、今日この頃。
****************************
出会いは、
必然的。
出会ったのは、
必要だったから。
出会った時こそ、
ベストタイミング。
今日、心に響いた大切な言葉。
