Nihon no kanojo

Would record down my day by day travel story somewhere else, hey I got to make use of blogspot unlimited blog ^^

Maybe it's this hard to part with Japan coz I have been wanting to go there for as long as I can remember. And I just love their culture there. It's sad that the young people there, especially in Tokyo, they are just so vain. But their traditional culture is smashing.

I love going to onsen soo much. I love how they serve the dishes in small plates. I love the way they greet every customer with enthusiasm, unlike those Sakae Sushi employees here who just shout "irasaimase" with no respect whatsoever. I love to see that they carry out their job with total devotion. In Japan foods are expensive often because of two things, the excellent service and the beautiful packaging.

It is no secret that I also like japanese girls. Nihon no kanojo. But there is a misconception among my friends that all I like about Japanese is the girls. Girls are girls. What makes me like Japanese girls is the Japanese culture that I have come to love ever since I know how to talk.

Anyway, here's the thing about pretty Japanese girls who live in big cities
1. You need money, lotsa money, to convince them.
2. They like western, the black, and their fellow Japanese.
3. If you are a Chinese, you better be Singaporean coz they rate Singaporean.
4. Generally, they like guys with dark skin.

So I'm not qualified ^^

Of course there is always exception, but these rules hold true for a great portion of them. Not to say that they can't become good wives. In fact they can be good wives. They are not carier oriented. They want to be housewives who make sure that you won't find dust anywhere in your house and they would take great care of their children. I was quite surprised upon seeing so many mothers who took their children to places like Universal Studio or Disneyland. The fathers are nowhere to be found.

One scene I would never forget was that of a couple who are in their 30s; they walk alongside the river in front of my Osaka hotel. The woman would walk behind the man and whenever the man stopped, she would stop. The man took one step and the woman would do the same. I was amused. Of course the younger generation no longer follow this tradition but all in all, the girls there still believe that they are to serve the men. Just like the Vietnamese girls.

Smoke and virginity are two things that Japanese don't really put emphasis on, sadly. It is all too common to see girls smoking. And Tokyo's girls, making love is part of date for them. Sad huh? That's the society they are living in.

So did I meet an interesting Japanese girl worth mentioning?

Yes. One person. Only one. We were staying at Takayama hotel that night. Takayama is a resort place on a mountain. We met her when we visited the store at the hotel's first floor. She is unlike the city Japanese girls with all their makeup. She doesn't have that kawaii feature in her. She is just simple and sweet.

We decided to buy something and took the chance to talk to her. And took a pic some more! Then the store owner came and she told us that this girl, Keiko, is parttiming there while working hard to graduate from a very famous university at Kyoto. She kept promoting Keiko to us, saying that the girl is very hardworking. Keiko was blushing and kept lowering her head, all the more she looked so Japanese.

Almost wanted to give her my contact haha. I was seriously pondering for quite a while and for a reason, I decided not to.

And that night I prayed one of the most bizarre prayers I have ever had =P I said:
"God, it seems that these people and culture I have come to love ever since I was small are crooked. They don't acknowledge you and they live in such a perverted way. But if I, by faith, ask of You, to prepare a woman of God from among them for me. I just wonder, would you listen? Can I ask for that?"

I is crazy.

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
