Tadah!

So I was telling you I’ve got something new for you. Here it is (click the pic/link)!

Everyone, this is my last post on this site. Hope you’ll join me in my new blog space, and to those who’ve added my “daily walks” into their blogrolls, add my new nest now! I’m saying goodbye to this site, but I’m welcoming you to my new one. Hope you’ll like it!

Walking fresh

I know, I know. I’ve been off the clock for a couple of weeks or so—but that’s because a good friend and I are cooking something new for you. Hehe. Well actually I didn’t really have interesting things to blog about lately, but just yesterday something nice happened. Right now it’s too early to let you know all about these, but for those who are curious, don’t worry, I won’t make you wait forever. Just a day or two.

But here’s what I want to ask from you: may you be as happy as I am right now, about this new thing I’m cooking, haha. I think you’d agree that it’s always exciting to try something new, right?

Sunshine

Learned that a rainy day would bring more rain—or a beautiful blue sunlit sky—the next day.

Karaoke with friends last night,

L-R: Kat, Trish, Glad, Miggy, Marjohn, Ladie, me.

and this morning, hot milk, toasted bread, and bananas, splashed with sunshine. Aaaaahhhhhh….

sunshine outside my window

Today* I…

woke up after 2pm,

microwaved something I didn’t really want to eat but ended up liking it anyway,

thanked somebody I’ve got a crush on (gawd, why am I telling you this?!?),

did something naughty while taking a bath,

biked for like an hour (to and fro) to sing karaoke with friends,

had beef strips and egg with rice and miso soup at Matsuya (and was really full after),

drank two mugs of hot chocolate and tried tasting a friend’s version of “chocotea”, but didn’t realize there was chocolate in it until told,

watched a baseball movie with dormmates and ate okonomiyaki with kimchee.

Oh, simple life, simple simple fun.

*from 2pm of May 31st until the time I went to bed on June 1, ‘08 (Japan Time).

Both

Let me dream and hope and wonder like a child. Let me dream endlessly, boundlessly, as if I always command the wind and the stars are at my side. Make my hope fresh and unquestioning; and let me wonder wild and without ceasing, as if I have wings to carry me to the deepest parts of the universe, wherever I wish to be. Let me believe in all things good like a child, that my belief be pure, unstained, uncomplicated.

But, let me act like an adult. Make me work and shape my dreams like real grown-ups do. Let me always think that I am responsible, and that whatever my decisions on things may be, let me have self-trust, like what mature men have, to face what must be faced. Let me not run away when the wind howls, for this is not what adults do. Light my way as I face my fears. Let me have courage, but allow me to fear, that I would take heart more. For courage is not the absence of fear, but the wisdom to do things when in fear. Let me defend my hopes like an adult, reasonable, sensible, open-minded. And let me handle my wonders like grown-ups do—the real ones—dignified, enthusiastic but not loud, determined but not dirty. Let me hold my belief of the truths in and of the world like a seasoned man, thankful for the gray clouds that add to the beauty of the dusk and to the spreading darkness, instead of cursing them, like what they who pretend to be grown-ups do.

Let me celebrate beauty and goodness in all their forms like a child, but also, let me build and lead my life like an adult.

Let me possess a grown-up mind, and a heart forever young, too.
