hard to belieb ive been here 3 months alrdy.. persevering thru the ratchet rain and cold, too tired to even shed a tearz.
for those who don’t alrdy know, im a nostalgic pc of shit who still prints photos and mails letters but due to my hoarding tendencies i’ve been limiting myself to one photo print a month. back home, i used to send hundreds of pictures to print every few months but now i opt for quality over quantity. (jks its cuz this shit expensive.. 😥 50cents per print n im hours away from a costco)
anyways, every month, i pick a favourite/happiest photo to print. here’s november
aaaand some stats for the months:
moar places i’ve visited: kobe, kyoto, kinosaki, okayama, tokushima, awaji, osaka
some good things:
- didnt die from walking over 60km in 4 days
- finally figured out rice AND brown rice after 10mins in the rice aisle n a call to a japanese fren
- bought my first bag of mandarins.. HELLO I EAT FRUITS DW MOM N DAD I AM HEALTHY ish
- figured out i can make it to work even if i accidentally sleep thru 6 alarms and wake up 22 minutes before work starts
best thing that’s happened: finally frens w the music teachers n she’s given me keys to a yamaha baby grand and an upright piano that i can play every wednesday.. she’s the cutest lil lady w blankets all over the music room, random stuffies, rainbow flower origami, fluffy slippers, cat figurines everywhere.. basically a fever dream but its adorable.
worst thing that’s happened: someone AT SCHOOL took the umbrella i left on my bike on a rainy day.. the ONE TIME i thought about bringing the umbrella inside.. and then when i stopped at daiso to look for another umbrella, i got splashed by a massive puddle.. shoes n socks were thoroughly soaked.. it wasn’t fun to say the least
current fave phrase: shinu daro = i think i’ll die
times i say ‘what the fuck’ under my breath: more than 6.5 for sure
i am v grateful for the friends n fam who been part of this journey. thx everyone who’s checked in with me. i miss yall!
