Sayonara Bus

The bus comes here on 6pm

Then we go our separate way in a few minutes
You are walking behind me as holding tears in your eyes
There is nothing I can do with it

I don't remember when we got to be dishonest to each other
The more I care about you, the fewer words I can say to you

Sayonara bus means Good-bye bus
It will come to pick you up and take you far away
where I don't know anything about you
Please, please don't come Sayonara bus,
'cause now I know that I really like you

"It's not too late"
I just can't say it tough it's only few words
Look at your back while you're stepping into the bus
I'll never forget your face, your last smile when you looked back to me

I don't know why I notice the most important thing this late
Only happy memories with you are recalled in my mind again and again

Sayonara bus means Good-bye bus
It starts running slowly
You wave to me and go far far away from me
No,I'm ok, I don't feel lonely, I'm fine, I can be alone,
but tears just won't stop dropping from my eyes

Sayonara, sayonara
Let's see you with smile on our faces next time
I will be me, just the way I am, until then

Movie : Changeling

I'd been interested in this movie since I saw the trail on TV when I was in the US.

"I want my son back!!" This is what I could hear when I saw the trial. At that time I totally relied on closed captions with most TV programs so I hardly understood what they said on commercials. My hearing ability sucked just a year ago.
First I thought it was some kind of a horror movie, a missing boy turned to be a monster or something...no way, I know. But seriously that's why I didn't go to see it at the movie theater.

Then many other interesting movies came out and I started forgetting about this movie. After I came back to Japan, CHANGELING became available in here too. And I remembered that I always wanted to see this movie! Since today is my day off from work, I could spend enough time to see it though it was a long story.

The story took plane in Lon Angeles, 80years ago. I don't know whether it was real back then or just an image of this movie, the air in LA didn't seem to be so "dry" in this movie. If these scenes were shoot in Hollywood, I guess it was really difficult to make out this sad and deep atmosphere because LA is always happy and light!


By the way, today would be my last day off in the first half of November. I will be on duty (?) 17 days in a row from tomorrow. We are going join a big flower show called IFEX (International Flower Expo) in Tokyo next week, and have a lot of guests during the show from all over the world. Starting from this Friday, I'll eat out in a fancy restaurant with my guests every night. Of course I will be happy to speak English all day long but it must kill me sooner or later.

I'm not sure when I'm able to see you guys next time, but at least, I'm gonna enjoy the rest of today.

The Way It Is

This is a view you would see on the way to my former rent home in Virginia.

I found this shot in my stock pictures.

Sometimes I took a rest on a bench in this small play ground while I walked back home from the Metro station.
I thought this was an "everyday scenery" and didn't feel special about it at the time.
Now I know I totally took it for granted.

The sky from Virginia was so precious.
All the houses were simple and tidy, and made me happy to look at.
Felt like the time pasted much slower than anywhere in Virginia.

Irresplaceable -Beyonce

"TO THE LEFT, TO THE LEFT.."
...I've been practicing this movement, for my coming one-night-only-dream with Beyonce, my queen!!

And this is my...and probably everyone's favorite song of hers.


Beyonce - Irreplaceable Live In LA





To the left, to the left.
Everything you own in the box to the left.
In the closet, that's my stuff.
Yes, if I bought it, please don't touch.

And keep talking that mess, that's fine.
Could you walk and talk at the same time?
And - it's my name that's on that Jag
so go move your bags, let me call you a cab.

Standing in the front yard telling me
how I'm such a fool, talking 'bout
how I'll never ever find a man like you.

You got me twisted...

You must not know 'bout me...
You must not know 'bout me...
I could have another you in a minute.
Matter 'fact, he'll be here in a minute.

You must not know 'bout me...
You must not know 'bout me...
I can have another you by tomorrow.
So don't you ever, for a second, get to thinkin'
you're irreplaceable.

Complete Star Wars

I've done watching the whole episodes of Star Wars. Yes, now. And I have never done that before. I didn't know anything about Star Wars.

As I'm into American culture, I realize it is necessary to be familiar with Star Wars, because the essence from this movie series is everywhere. Comedy shows, sitcoms, cartoons, even people's conversation, it is hard to understand and truly enjoy them without Star Wars knowledge.

Now I know who Luke is, what Obi-Wan looks like, how Yoda is strong, and when Princess Laiya wears gold bikini thing! Oh oh and Anakin guy is so handsome!

I've been reading a novel, Remember me? by Sohie Kinsella, and exciting not only because the story is enjoyable, also of the fact I'm covering a whole English-written novel by myself. Actually the latter thing really hits me...since this is my first time to read out a foreign language book without dictionaries. I'm holding the book every time, reading it everywhere, which makes me feel like I'm in somewhere a little bit far from this Japan.
Maybe I shouldn't mention about the story. What I've learned so far is we can not value anything with its appearance or imaginable benefit...I don't know if these words make any sense. You sometime or always think and dream about being better, much richer, in ten times successful life than this. Then, what if you get all of them in one night? Maybe you realize what you wanted before was just a dream...it had to be just a dream, shouldn't be real. Oh, I haven't got the ending of this book yet, so this is not what it's all about, I don't know. But the thing is; It is not a result what we are made from, only process creates us.

Yes, outcomes are not a part of my body.

PS
I wrote this just 30 seconds before I fell asleep. I don't know where I was going.

光と影 (Japanese Song)

だれでもない　どこにもないぜ 　 僕だけの光と影
闇の向こうの光を見に行こう
光と影






僕はいま　ゆれるキャンドルをみてる
ただ　ぼんやり　ぽっかり　はっきり
くっきり　すっぽり　うっとりと
いつだって君の側　健やかな光と影が　降り注ぐようにと
少しだけ願った

あの日僕ら　ケモノみたいに抱き合った
玄関閉め　キスして　孤独をぶつけて　火の玉になった
その先に　痛みがあろうと
不安で胸が張り裂けようと
今を薄めたくなんてなかった　深く刻みたいと思った

いつだって　その輝きに
真っすぐに　熱くなれたら
なんにだってなれるぜ　どこへだって行けるんだぜ

だれでもない　どこにもないぜ
君だけの光と影
光の先の闇を見に行こう
光と影

そして僕は　一人どこへ行くんだろ
君一人幸せにできないやつに　何が言えるんだろ
ありがとう　ってつげた君に
僕はなんて言えたらよかったんだろ…
いつだってその輝きに
真っすぐに　熱くなれたら
なんにだってなれるぜ　どこへだって行けるんだぜ

だれでもない　どこにもないぜ
君だけの光と影
光の先の闇を見に行こう
光と影

だれでもない　どこにもないぜ
僕だけの光と影
闇の向こうの光を見に行こう
光と影

億千万の光と影
今から逢いに行くんだぜ
聞かせてほしい　君の中にある
光と影

億千万の光と影
今から逢いに行こうぜ
聞かせてほしい　君の中にある
光と影

聞かせてほしい君の中にある
光と影

Momo-chan

This is Momo, my grad parents' dog, the name means a peach in Japanese.
Since where they live is famous for peaches they name their dog Momo whenever they get a new
one. Although I don't remember how many Momos have exactly been there, we always love each
one of them.

This Momo came from my grandpa's sister's home several years ago. She used to look like a
coyote but isn't as brave as it at all. She barks when she sees people only who she knows.

After taking this shot, she started barking unusually loudly. I thought I made her mad or something, but she didn't bark at me. My sister and I who were there at that time had no idea
about that, but five minutes later, my grandpa's sister showed up.
Then we knew that she always gets crazily excited when her former owner comes to see her.
Just impressed how dogs well remember everything and have a keen scent.

R O T T I N G

Someone said I already died.
Or something sounds close to it.
Either way, I think I'm gonna.
Because my paid holidays have been cut down to just one day a week.

Since my former boss left us out of blue about two months ago, my team have been forced to work so hard. I might have to say "abandoned" which more matches with what he did to us. Among other things, he was a founder of flower business with African company in my company, and no one had touched it before he left. Now I'm sure he didn't let anyone...I don't know, was that his pride or something?
Anyway, we were suddenly put right in the middle of nowhere at that time. Nobody knew about African flowers at all and of course neither did I. But there is a bunch of people who want to send their flowers into Japanese market. So we didn't have any other choice; just do it.

He showed up at the office all of a sudden like a month ago with his healthily tanned skin covered all his face and arms, said he was quitting in two weeks. That drove us mad because all of us had believed that an unexpected mental sickness caused his big absence according to his explanation. But during that "medical treatment," he obviously went out to take a long tan-able vacation and spent enough time to find a new job. More than that, he was totally healthy to do both of that. Ha ha!

Literally my responsibilities are getting bigger day by day considering my tiny career of just four months. I'm trying to do my best to make any better out there, but sometime I feel I can't do anything by myself. I can't do anything like my ex-boss used to do. I know I don't need to be exactly like him, but I should pretend that I learned everything from him at least to my clients which I did not...

I don't know why I'm writing this kind of personal stuff here but I just got too tired to work my ass off today.
I'll be fine by tomorrow. Hopefully.
