WHERE 47 RONIN STORY RESONATES

gion.

AND WE FINALLY WON

shinpe got us some really nice seats to soukeisen.

and yes keio finally kicked waseda's ass 7-3 after 8 humiliating losses. finally.

MOVE FORWARD

carmen and i dreamed of him and he had the similar message for both of us. i guess he knew that both of us needed much comfort to ease the sorrow and of course the strength to let him go. and those words left for us did give us the strength to do so.

so yes, people. i'm ready. :)

SOLACE

tokyo's been kind to me and okinawa comforted me. mt. mitaka trip with shuuhei was refreshing and having to spend a week in okinawa with mom was good.

his last words to me were still loud and clear to me. those 8 words gave me so much strength and they keep me going. it's just so weird to have finally accept that he's gone. carmen and i still talk over the phone in effort to make things easy for both of us.

friends are sweet and encouraging. i'm not ready but i'm definitely trying. give me just a little bit longer and i'll be back. yes i know, shin's been talking about on how to pimp me out. :)

DECIDED

i'll be posted to nyc this august for 8 months, instead of the planned deploy to east timor.

CURL ME UP AND FOLD ME AWAY

hello.

i thank you for those kind sweet comforting words and i'm sorry i had to withdraw from the world for a while. the two weeks in sydney was hard for everyone. many things were in need to be done and all of us tried to comfort one another. adrian dropped everything from singapore and flew back to sydney the moment the news was broke out to him. the sorrow was almost undescribeable.

one question keeps haunting me:

why did god take him away when he was the one who brought us together in the first place?

BLISS

engaged.

it happened yesternight. :D
