Sans blog, So sorry

Minna-san Konichiwa!

I apologize for my lack of blogging these days but I haven't been able to think of anything to post. I don't feel that I've been doing a lot of crazy and exciting things to share with you all...so maybe my problem is just that I need a more exciting life! hehe

Well I can report that I have booked my ticket home for Christmas, and I am really really looking forward to seeing my family and friends. At the moment, I am also trying to decide what I am going to do with myself after my contract with Aeon expires. My immediate goal is to make a visit to TO where I can catch up with old friends and see some dearly missed family. I've also been dealing with the emotions that have surfaced due to the realization that my time here is really flying and that I will be saying goodbye to a lot of wonderful friends sooner than I'd like. It's such a privilege to be able to live in another country and to share the culture with great friends, but it's definitely depressing to know that I won't be seeing most of these people anytime soon. But c'est la vie.

Life is full of unpredictability and that's what i am loving about it. It feels good to be healthy (finally) and really that's all I care about at the moment. Simple.

For those who are curious, I finally do feel at home in Japan and I am still enjoying my life here. There are always cool people to meet and there's always the daunting challenge of the Japanese language slapping me in the face wherever I go.

Keep on lovin', keepin' the peace and eatin' sushi. (my words of wisdom)

p.s. I'll post some pictures soon :)
