Back to my hometown-Tatsuno

I didn't plan to go back to my hometown but since I kinda lost my job and I don't need to work, I have day off everyday. It is sudden holiday.

So, I went back to my hometown.
I actually wanted to go home long time but I could not because I was really busy working and I was very tired to go home. so I didn't go back there like 2 months or maybe 3.

My cousin drove me home. nice.

Oh my god Its very nice to eat my mom's dinner. I love it. It is the best.
nice to see my family, cousins, my dog.
My dog is now 14 or 15 years old. I was happy to see him but at the same time, I was very sad because now he can t see, smell and hear well. He walks funny, He didn't recognize me.

Life is life.

I did almost nothing, just sleep, eat, watching TV, movies.
I could enjoy reading novels which I really wanted to read.
I have not had this relax time long time. I was really refreshed.

and I finally had haircut and said good bye to my long hair.

I love my family. I m glad I am the member of the Itagaki. haha.

KAISAN!!!!!

CRAZY.

Crazy long day.

my company is totally fucked.
I maybe lost my job.

Osaka jyo outside party

After I enjoyed Kyoto with chihiro, I went to Osaka castle for farewell/whatever party.
It was supposed to be Naomi(BT) s farewell. it was actually many people s farewell.

Jessica, the cool AAM ever, said Its gonna be the biggest, and probably the last my company party. anyway, whatever the reason, its always nice to hang out with friends.

We were all broke so we had party outside of Osaka castle.
of course convenience store beers.

We didn't know how many people were coming. Because we just put flayer on some Branch's wall.

but actually many people came. maybe not so many but at least it was more than i expected. which is good.
I was really drunk.
I remembered that Murray called me Gokiburi as usual and kicked him.
but thats all.

I had really fun but actually thats all i remember..... '' fun''.... thats all.

well, Its good. Its all good. Life is beautiful.

Arashiyama- Saiku gyoretu & Gion Maiko Day

I went to Arashiyama with Chihiro.

There was a special event called Saiku- Gyoretsu. (parade)

very traditional. little kids in Kimono were cute. The parade looks really good with Arashiyama's nature and beautiful Togetukyou(Bridge) .

After we enjoyed Arashiyama and Saiku Gyoretsu, we went to Gion, Shijyo.

Chihiro booked Maiko show there.

Going to Maiko or Geisya show was one of my dreams, so I was very excited!!!

Maiko san was 17years old, very cute, her traditional dance was beautiful.

It was 1 hour show but We really enjoyed!

We asked so many questions to her.

then, we ate Kyoto food which was lovely.

X day

Its a X day.

I need someone to talk to so bad.

I love friends.

I don t wanna lose them.

I feel very alone.

I feel like i m in a middle of ocean at night. no lighthouseto guide me, no people.

I need someone to share this time

I need someone to lean on right now.

I don t wanna hear any negative things or shit.

but at the same time, I wanna talk shit.

I don t like myself right now.

very negative and stressfull.

I wish I could think positive way in this situation.

Thats gonna be awesome!

Fushimi Inari Taisha

Day Trip to Fushimi inari taisha with Michiko and Shizuki.

Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. The shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines.
The Inari is worshipped popularly among merchants and industries for wealth. Donated toriis lined footpaths are the scenic.

Today was the Last trip with Shizuki. He will go back to Odawara, Kanagawa tomorrow morning.

It was really nice weather today kinda hot but at Fushimi Inari, Its in a mountain and its dark because of trees and Toriis. deep forest and dark shade of trees made there a bit cold.

It s the perfect day for mountain climb. Yes we have to climb. We don't usually do exercise so thousand of stairs were really hard obstacle for us.

Soon we were tired climbing, getting hot. Its really long way but thousand of triis were just magnificent!

half way to the top of the mountain, We had nice lunch. We could see whole Kyoto city from that restaurant. nice air and nice lunch.

Perfect.

Nice day, Nice friend, happy.

It was so hard to say good bye to Shizuki....

Mission Possible : Save Walker & Naomi's Bye bye small get together

My friend Walker is now broke because of our F company.
He can t eat because they didn't pay for us.
not only teachers, also Japanese staff didn't get paid 3weeks now.

So, I m almost broke but I m still OK. I have some saved money plus my parents helped me for money.
Anyway, I delivered some food to him.

I hope that was enough for him for a while. maybe it lasts only few days though.
I didn't know what spice or seasoning he has so i bought something that can cook without spice or anything.
I hope all teachers will be OK, teachers are more fucked up than Japanese staff. Because Japanese staff can live without VISA and we have family in same country even they live really far away from us like my family.
I feel very very sorry to teachers who has to leave Japan even they really want to stay in Japan...

I m so sad to see them leaving...

and yes, Naomi of course. She is the one of them who has to leave Japan.
Today, after i met Walker, I went to Kyobashi 380 Izakaya for her small farewell. Today was her last day for work.

Naomi, Murray, Vince(oh my god i haven t seen him ages!), Mark and Peter were there.
all Kyobashi teachers and one Japanese from other branch. kinda strange. haha.

Everybody finished eating when i arrived so I just had one beer and small rice.

So sad she is leaving. I hope i can see her someday in Japan or Australia.
Good luck.
