VIVA! CHIBA! HA!

While I was away from blog, I experienced three great changes in my life. All of the three is new to me, then now I am living in a brandnew life completly different from the one before.

The first new experience is that now I am living in the 'real world' after graduating from university. I am not a student anymore, there is no teacher in front of me always helping me learning, but I have to try find a way on my own. It sounds a bit scary.. However, my younger sister also enters the 'real world' at the same time, and she is trying real hard. That encourages me a lot because although she is two years junior to me, it seems that she is managing better! I respect that attitude of her, and I hope that I will be able to encourage her somehow later on.

The second new experience is that now I am living on my own! Surprise!! I had never been away from Osaka except short travelling, but for the first time in my life, I moved away from Osaka, passed over Mt.Fuji, and guess what! I am living in Chiba! Viva! Chiba! So far, I have managed okay, but of course I miss my home in Osaka where my family and many friends live in. I have found that there are pros and cons about living alone, like I am free, completely. My parents are really strict, conservative and serious, so there were lots of restrictions and things that I couldnt experience such as going out somewhere far or staying over friends house, but nowI can go out new places, and stay at new friends' houses here. One of the cons is it is quite lonely sometimes. and it is a bit scary. Sometimes at night, the door bell is rang, but I just ignore it cz I dont have anyone's notice to visit me in advance. Paying everything, for instance lease of my unit, electricity, water and gas is making my life difficult as well. Though these changes make me mixed up sometimes, I have found myself enjoying this adventure, hoping that someday I can finally settled!

The last but not least new experience is that now I am in Kanto area. I have already mentioned about moving out from Osaka, but for the first time in my life, I live as a'salary woman' going to a company everyday! and the stage is Tokyo! I am still in the education program of the company for this year's new faces, but so far things are going great, very exciting. The people I have met in Kanto area both at the company and in the towns so far are very warmhearted just like in Osaka. Some say that adults in a 'real world' are the ones who gave up hopes, forgetting their dreams, but meeting new people here encourages me. My dream is to live like 'Alley(spelling?)'. yes, 'Alley McBelle'! I hope that I am going to have busy, happy and crazy life now on!

With these changes above, I am surviving in my new happy life in a 'real world' on my own in Kanto. Maybe I will face difficulties that I have never experienced or maybe I will not be able to find an answer, but I will try to remember that my life is fortunate enough to have friends and everyone always worring and caring for me, and I will not forget appreciating it. That is how it works, and that is how I go On My Road.
