Cleaning

I seriously wonder, what is with parents wanting to clean the house in the morning.

It seems to be every kid's problem that we get waken up by parents's lovely noise of vacuuming the house.  Specifically on those days all we want to do is SLEEP.

And then I had a brief talk we had my mother this morning as it turns out that there are huge load of bloggers on the website around bout 9.30am.

My mother's question was that

"why are they so free at that time? don't they have stuff to do like cleaning??"

But then why do our mothers just need to clean at morning??

For me, my morning routine goes lazy in bed for extra 30min, get up, eat breakfast, do the dishes and read the news, check the emails, all that jazz, THEN the cleaning.

Now what is the problem in doing the cleaning at say, 3pm?? I understand why you wouldn't do it at night time as you really can't see much at night. But really, what is the difference between cleaning at 10am and 3pm??

That'll be a mystery for me forever....

Saucers

I just realised the importance of a saucer when drinking a cup of tea.
you can put your sugar cubes if you want it sweetened.
you can put your dirty spoon on it if it's not clean.
And the best of all, if you happen to spill the tea, it's there to catch it so you won't make the table dirty.

Then I thought it's a bit like my life

I mean, there is the saying from Forrest Gump


"Life is like a box of chocolate, you don't know what you get until you open it"




That, in fact, is also true.
But saucer is more like my ideal man actually


Anyway, I'm not trying to talk about a man today.


I'm currently kind of stuck on "what's the best next move" thing right now.
I'm not young enough to play the "young and stupid card" anymore (and it's not that I want to either...)
But then it's about time I get my career settled, and life settled, and I'd like that too.


I thought I was the only one who was having this dilemma.

And it turns out that it's not.

It seems like many people around me is having the same problem.



We know something is not right, but we don't know what is not right.



But then saying that, there is a saying in japan that means

Sticking to 1 thing for 3 years will solve the troubles



why does the life has to get so complicated year by year?

The Land By the Mountain...

My mother always told me,

"when the time is right, things will be ok"

And that was always a magical word for me.

I knew that some times, life can be crap. COMPLETELY crap in fact.

Just last week, I just went for a visit to my home town, where I was born and raised til my family immigrated to NZ at age 9.

The whole time in Japan, I didn't know what I wanted. I just knew i had to go back to NZ at some point, I still call NZ my home, and I wanted to see my friends. But I didn't get that glitter of excitement or that burst in me, telling me

"it's time to go lady!!"

At the same time, I was not even 1% motivated to settle back into Japan or find new work here in Japan. Despite the fact that I did love living with my parents again. So day by day, I just let the days go by.

But then when I went to my home town, I was SUPER excited for being there. Seeing everything that I once knew, and was so familiar with.

I didn't care about the fact that my old friends didn't understand what's so fabulous about that old crusty country side, It was all the beauty that I wanted to see for so long.

Right at that moment, as I looked right across from Yatsugatake ranges, through to southern Alps, and straight at Mt Fuji, I got that feeling again.

I knew I've done everything I needed to do in Japan, and it's time for me to go home.

When I came back to Saitama again, I started looking for a job. And every single time, when I'm looking for a job, there is always at least 1 job that pops into my brain telling me to apply.

And I got something like that again. So the CV's are sent, and now it's just the waiting game.

I don't know when my next chapter will begin, but I'm hoping it will be soon!!
