happy 6 months japan: にじゅうご才

welp jus barely finished catching up and we’re at 6 months alrdy!

to celebrate turning 25 this month, here are 25 things..

(jus things.. everything iz random here we go)

5 of my favourite views

• capitol hill park, burnaby, bc
• polson pier, toronto, on
• lake louise, alberta, ab
• mount rokko, kobe, hyogo
• habitat island, vancouver, bc

5 goals for the future: 

1. have a mill in the bank
2. buy a japanese car
3. master japanese
4. be a good teacher and coworker
5. learn to drift

my favourite thing about living in the countryside of japan: still the red local train that zooms by beside me as i bike to work in the morning or glitters in a rainy reflection on my way home

5 places i’ve now celebrated a birthday in: vancouver, toronto, london, singapore, japan

the food i could eat everyday for the rest of my life: ramen

some of the most important, inspired things i’ve come to learn:

1. if u love urself, u’ll never be alone. -big sean
2. there’s no place quite like here; there’s no better time than now. – jhene aiko
3. the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant- it is what u do with the gift of life that determines who u are. -mewtew

what i miss the most about home: my cat, ness

things i am thankful for (in no particular order):

• unconditional love that transcends geography and time
• quality friends who remember and reciprocate the things that are important to me
• discomfort that reminds me of the challenges i’ve overcome and the growth i’ve yet to face
• simple pleasures in life like finding a strawberry sandwich. and daiso stores.. those are quite fantastic.

 

thank u,

A
