This is the first piece of blog which I have written for the year 2012, hopefully not the only one, but many more to come.
I have started writing again after a hiatus of 5 months, which I would say is pretty long.
I apologize to friends whom do actually check out my blog occasionally, for the lack of updates.
5 months have passed for 2012, surprisingly fast..
I didn't have a chance to reflect back on the daily events and thoughts till now, in the middle of the night.
What have I done this year? hmmm...
I would say, besides travelling to Japan, spending 2 weeks during April over there in Tokyo, Hakone, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Nara, Nikko..not much major events happened so far.
It has been a really wonderful trip, especially I got to re-group my soul and re-charge myself in some ways. Spent almost 2 weeks on my own in a foreign land.
Travelled like a half-gaijin half-pretending to be a Japanese...*laughs* because I know and understand about some Japanese cultures.
Met many foreigners along my trip, while travelling out of Tokyo.
Some were very nice and welcoming people, whereas some were rather unfriendly.
Walked a lot, about 10-12 hours daily during my 2 weeks, resulting weight loss which is good!!
On an end note, it was a rejuvenating trip which I get to experience many more Japanese cultures and interact with people from all over the world, in the nutshell of Japan.
My laptop died on me just before I left for Japan, I didn't managed to revive it.
So now, I am kind of laptop-less while I am at home, surviving on my android phone if I do need to go on web.
Looking around for good deals on laptop or notebook, thinking about Windows or switching to Mac...weighing the pros and cons..still unable to decide on it yet...as the IT fair creeps nearer and nearer.
With the start of the year, 5 months ago, I did try to post photographs on Facebook as daily as I could possible, which eventually did came to a halt due to the daily life matters.
I still do take photographs as much as I can, just unable to produce and post them as much as I like.
An excuse due to the death of my laptop, I became unable to produce and post any photographs at the current stage. *laughs* What a great excuse I came up with...
I am really glad that I did my backups for my laptop, hence my music library in Itunes is still alive. I still have my music, just not as updated as I like it to be.
Lately, I have been thinking about many things..such as re-studying Japanese and learning French, reading more on more manga, ebooks and even paperback books on subjects which I would like to keep (thus contributing to my ever-growing library), trying to eat healthier and maintaining my weight loss. Trying to meet up my new and old friends, keep in contact with them. Real friendship is precious and fragile in this modern world. Also the ongoing thought about life...
Currently reading on "Clean" by Dr. Alejandro Junger, M.D.
Though I must say that I am rather late in getting this book, as this is a reprint with updated new materials in it. A pretty interesting book, discovering and understanding oneself's body system, how each and every food which we ingest contributes to what we are, how the different toxicism happening in our daily life affects us somehow somewhere down the road in life. I am still halfway through it, I hope to learn more from it.
