旅人

Firstly, I thank the heavens or the world for the recess break. Though only 1 week and I have to study for my tests. Nevertheless, thank you!

When I was busy, I had quite a few things I wanted to blog about. BUT now that I have some time, all those ideas I had seem to have eluded me. Hmmm... Nevertheless, I have decided out of randomness this post will be about pikachu.

Pikachu is telling you that it is fun and delicious to eat a baransu (balanced) meal.






With a little bit of money (about 3500 yen) and a bit of courage, you too can become pikachu!



Hmmm... pikachu band aid. This is an object of evil. Little children would hurt themselves deliberately just to have one pasted over their wounds... Evil...


ピカ、ピカ！

That is the question.

Why is it that we are expected to fill every minute of our lives doing something 'productive'?

Whatever happened to having some quiet time for yourself just to relax and reflect on your day.

When was the last time you simply stared into the blue sky and allow your mind to drift?

What's wrong with dong nothing?

All good times have to come to an end. The past 2 months or so was epic, nothing that I have ever experienced. The amount of freedom, those joyous moments I had pursuing leisure, I could almost say those were one of the happiest moments. Waking up each morning knowing you are going to have a cup of wonderful coffee and having rest of the day pursuing whatever you felt like doing. Though I had zero cash flow but that did not stop the overflowing moments of inner peace, enjoyment, joy, self-discovery, reflection, observation, exploration and learning. They only regret I had was not being able to travel to Australia to experience 2 months of winter. This is all because of some pig virus spreading around. Other than that, my epic holiday was complete.

It is almost time to board the vessel out of paradise and into whatever that lies ahead. God knows what is to come. I do wish to visit to this heaven again. Until then let me indulge in the final few moments...

I thought I should share some of these great knowledge I have recently acquired. They may be crude sounding but all of them are so damn bloody true.
