'used-to-be's

I'm constantly reminded of what I used to be like.
what I had. how I thought of things.

all that be came more apparent when I was unpacking my things while moving houses yesterday.
I found some notes we used to pass in class. little reminders I used to write. the photos we used to take.

it's amazing how far I've come in the last 5 years.

place.

I wish people around me were all like the ones I work with. I'm fascinated by the westernized atmosphere they have. it's like a different country there.

anyways, first day of work went pretty well :)

Kyoto

went to Kyoto today with sumi & nino :)
we met up at 9am and we didn't know what we were supposed to do that early, but we ended up having lots of fun :) I'd say we walked waaaaaay too much though :o
I bought some earrings at Claire's, and bday pressie for a friend, plus some Japanese candies <3

going to bed early tonight, gotta wake up early tmrw :) orientation for JFK :)

JFK 2011 :)

work starts on Monday :)
I think it's fabulous when you get to do what you've always wanted to do, something you'd do it with no pay, and still get paid.
and for me, especially since I left Taiwan, teaching swimming had been what I've wanted to do for a long time. kinda like swimzone. but more responsibility, and freedom.
I have a feeling JFK 2011 is gonna be a good one :)
and I'm definitely looking forward to working with Michelle, yui, Ruru, kerianna, asuka, Evan, sho, iku and harsha :)

last day

last day of school before the summer :)
this semester has been pretty chilled, and i'm glad I got to meet new people.
there are some people I still can't stand to be around, but at least I made the effort to talk to them nicely. I think what's important is the effort, not what you get out of it. and I wasn't expecting anything from them so I guess that makes things alright :)

summer plans:
7/13 shinsaibashi&namba with satoko
7/16 grandmas place - going away party
7/20 movies with kano
7/21 waterpark with ikegami & emma
7/22 kyoto with kasumi
7/23 orientation for JFK
7/25 - 8/5 JFK first session
8/8 - 8/19 JFK second session
and going to wakayama somewhere in between :)

deff looking forward to waterpark, movies & shopping :)
and some sun. and swimming. and getting tanned and hot guys at work :)))

words.

i talk a lot. but that doesnt mean im good with words. actually, im horrible with words. i end up saying something i dont actually mean, or i use words that have double meanings and i say it in a way that people usually take it the wrong way.
and it's caused me so much trouble, thats why im afraid to say something that actually needs to be said, rather than the bullshit i speak everyday.

HP.

this absolutely is my favourite movie :)

albus dumbledore

I personally think he's the smartest and the bravest person ever existed.

say something like "he doesn't exist" and I'll punch you in the face, thank you very much :)

field

2005/08/15 - 2010/07/02
one of my favourite places in the entire world.

no boundaries.

2010/12/11
laying on the TAS field, the sky looked so beautiful.

the wizard has lost all his charms.

i didnt cry the day you walked away
i didnt think that i would feel this pain
until i saw that stranger that was you.

whatever happened to our innocence?
and that something you said about being friends?

what i lost when i let go of you
i dont think i really want it back.
you're the past, I wanna live the present.

I don't wanna be constantly reminded of what we could've been.

it doesn't hurt anymore.
all I feel is annoyance.

annoyance at myself for letting it get this far.
