MIA.. MIA.. Missing In Action... :( Hello my blog and maybe readers? ha ha ha I have been missing in action for almost more than 2 weeks. My parents are here because of the Ramadhan and Lebaran (fasting and end of fasting holidays) for around 3 weeks. I am very happy and glad since I only get to see my dad once per year. So now, we can eat nice food and this means a lot of happy tummies every night! :D :D :D Anyway, during these past 2 weeks, I had a job interview on Skype which is widely use in today's interview processes. It was a very fun experience and less nerve-wrecking in contrast with the face-to-face interview. Unfortunately, the quality of the video is very poor. *blah* Okay so in this blog, I would like to post an entry on my current work for a non-profit organisation and also my day trip to....... *scroll down if you want to know!* 1. My Voluntary Work In the beginning of August, I started on a volunteering work at the Japan Founda

Japanese Sandals: 下駄

げた。。。下駄 カランコロン  カランコロン 私のげただ。 This time the topic is geta ! WHY GETA? Because I am obsessed about geta... he he Urgh, I am not going to do the informative type of blog about geta because I am just going to tell a story LOL To put things short, geta is Japanese wooden clogs or sandals, worn with yukata (summer kimono- very thin and not as heavy as real kimono that has layers and layers inside). I asked my Japanese friend if I can wear it with shorts or just with plain western clothes, and he said no, it should be worn with wafuku (Japanese clothes). Shux, anyhow, I should respect it :D A good geta is made from paulownia wood because it is very light and for many other reasons which I am not familiar with hahaha Seriously if you want to know lots more about geta go to wikipedia LOL Anyway I bought 3 pairs of geta sandals in a shop in asakusa just a couple of streets away from Sensouji temple. I'm familiar with the owners, a pair of lovely ojiichan and obaacha

Random thought #1

I saw a status update from my friend that's written " A real man never hurts a woman!!! Be very careful when you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a mans rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved ." Just thinking how scary it is, if God counts the tears of a woman who dropped a single tear everyday for 40 years because a man left her when she's at her utmost vulnerable state. What would God do, will He avenge her tears? What about when a woman hurts a man? God will also count his unseen tears........ It's even more heartbreaking. TO be honest, no matter if you are a woman or a man if you do something wrong, say sorry. I've seen too many arrogant men and women, and in the end they lose even more. But the thing is, it takes guts for one to admit their faults. How many
