My Home in Japan


Hikari city of Yamaguchi-ken

Nijigahama Hanabi Taikai

Welcome to my blog that took months of laziness to finally get uploaded. This is my home, Hikari and it means light. I suppose some would interpret it as the city of lights, but please don't be fooled by it's name. The only time I thought Hikari had any lights was at the time of this picture. It was taken at Nijigahama beach near my home during the summer, a time when much more was going on. There were light shows, a few performers, some bars along the beach and a nice roof-top beer garden at a hotel nearby. The beach is pretty quiet this time of the year, but be sure to come check it out when summer time comes again. Although a little quiet and small, I've grown to appreciate this city's generous crowd, landscape, location and ofcourse the excitement of finding new things here when I thought that's all there to it.
The past 7 months have been an attempt to juggle with the burdens of the past and the neverending changes of the new: from busy to boredom, summer to shivers, fresh to familiar and lovers to strangers. Nothing stops and nothing remains. I know I'm not alone in feeling the ups and downs of the freaky unknown. So this is both a reminder and a note of encouragement to those who feel me. Pleasant or painful, home or Japan, all things work out in the end... someway... somehow. And this belief, I found, has proven itself true battle after battle.

You have such a coooool blog! (sarcasm not included) People always ask me how you're doing...so i send them your blog link and it just summarizes the rest! BTW, I wouldn't be worried about dad knowing what you're up to. dad has already seen your blog. so therefore he knows you dress-up in funny costumes, party lots, you're always posing with the peace sign, you smoke, get drunk and kiss boys!

Love your sis!

I came across your blog by accident and what can I say? You're an asian sensation! I visit your blog every day, sometimes even 2 or 5 times a day. My friends think I'm crazy but thats what love can do to you. I hope you keep adding more photos and experiences as it makes me excited especially late at night when I'm alone.

Love,

your secret admirer/stalker.
