@ Sunday, September 27, 2009

school is starting tomorrow. End of my summer vacation GAHHHHHH.

Well, I turned 21 two weeks ago.

ALthough i had work on my bday, lol, i had a great day cos i received so many messages on facebook, my cell phone and email :) 'Its the thought that counts', ever since I came to Japan I understand what that really means...As long as there are people who spare a thought for me, I know I can move on :)

Celebrated 15th September(the day before) with Karpie at a bar in Shinjuku.

This cake with raspberry syrup tasted really good :)

I promise myself I'll spend another meaningful year, till my bday next year x)

Another significant event for me was the United Nations Uni. Global Seminar at Shonan, Kanagawa. Spent 5days at a village in Shonan, attended lectures on East Asian Community, had group discussions till midnights...etc...Reminded me a lot about the camps I had when I was in JC.

These are the wonderful people I met at the seminar. Serena, Soong, Manuel, Daniel, Krishna, Andrea, Remi, Mai, Emi and Katsuma sensei :) I LOVE GROUP E3 :D

Another friend I met at the seminar, Tomomi from Sophia University.

We became good friends although we were in different groups. She is only a freshman, but the thoughts and ideas she has about international cooperation are as professional as that of a postgraduate student...We had lunch the other day at Yotsuya, together with Rui from SILS :)

..In preparation for the diplomat exam, I've been practicing writing essays on economics, international law and Japanese Constitution...I dislike myself for not being able to produce good essays neither in Japanese nor English (--"

Alright, get prepared for another semester of work now x)

@ Monday, August 24, 2009

its so warm and humid in Japan now :(

I can't wait till autumn! I've been eyeing on this fashion brand called "ehyphen world gallery" located at Shinjuku. The clothes there are stylish, fashionable yet rather affordable.

Raiders jacket is the first thing i have on my autumn wishlist.

Anyway, August is coming to an end. Time really flies, its already the 9th month of 2009.

Since I didn't manage to concentrate much on studies in August, I promise I'll spend more time in double school...I have many stuff to catch up with.

Photos to illustrate:

PEACH gathering. I love my Global Health members! Chika, all the best in London!

Magic Club summer camp at Ibaraki.

I look drunk but i insist i wasn't!!!!

Dinner at my place, for Miku(on the left) who's going to California for study abroad.

Next up, farewell party for Tomoyo, who's going to France.

We made TAKOYAKI====!!!!!!!

Lol, these are the happie photos i took :)

its getting humid @ Wednesday, July 29, 2009

...so far, i have been spending my summer vacation working, studying, working and meeting up with my friends. I feel sorry when I could only spend few hours with my friends, just to have lunch or dinner...but it can't be helped, i have lessons to attend at double school, and students to teach at juku. And maybe this tight schedule makes me treasure the limited time I have with friends.

Surprisingly, I'm satisfied cos I think i'm catching up with those I've wanted to meet. Especially Juna, who is going abroad next month to Paris. Plans for a PEACH gathering this Sunday, for Chika who'll be going abroad to U.K. Makes it sound like this is some farewell season...but its a time for reunion too, for those SILS students who have come back from study abroad. WIll be meeting Seo soon, catching up with girls talk and stuff :)

photos from the lunch with Juna

all the best in Paris :)

After Karpie's entrance exam for graduate school. Early dinner at Cotton Club.

these are the gladiator sandals i bought this summer.

Study session tmr. FOCUS!

finally @ Saturday, July 18, 2009

i'm done with my exams for this semester!

The previous week indeed was a pain...

4000words essay due on Monday
Two final exams on Wednesday (Not open-book, piles of notes to study from)
Presentation and a Research Proposal on Friday

Moreover, i had part-time work everyday xD

But I've survived it! I'll spend the money I've earned during the exam period to get myself a pair of swimming suit for the summer camp　合宿.
Well, after this semester, I've found out that I really lack the knowledge of modern Japanese history, the legal system and diplomatic relations of Japan. I guess I have more to learn, and to research on my own. Anyway! I'm looking forward to the MOFA seminar next Friday, and the 5 days Global Seminar scheduled in early September.
Getting accepted in the Global Seminar was a encouraging news I received during the exam period, cos I heard it got more competitive this year, with many students applying from Waseda. Only 5 students from Waseda can get accepted if I remembered correctly.
I thought i screwed up the application essay but what matters was that I wrote my essay in English and explained how I would like to relate this seminar to my future careers.

So, tada! 5 whole days going to be spent in Shonan(Kanagawa) together with students from other universities, and the theme this year would be East Asian diplomacy.

For the time being, my schedule is filled with studies for gaisen, part-time job(really busy with the summer supplementary classes), and of course some leisure :)

Oh I forgot I have another essay to write by next Monday :s

All the best to Karpie who is having his entrance exam for graduate school (><)
