I understand Murakami’s whole thing is about blurring art and commerce…
but I can’t help but wonder where his motivation comes from (￣∀￣;;)
who is he trying to please….??
I wonder if does he gets any sense of satisfaction from offending so many people?
Or, does he get ANY sort of satisfaction from doing any of this?? (＠_＠;)

I have to get an ultrasound checkup periodically because of my condition.
I went the other day, and was SO happy that the doctor told me I’m getting better! ☆彡(ノ^^)ノ
Wow, it’s been 3 yrs. since I’ve had this condition, and I thought it’s never gonna get better.
When I realized how relieved I was, I finally realized how much of a baggage this condition had been for me.
I took a walk after the exam.
I’ve been going to this hospital 3 yrs, and it’s in a very nice place,
but I guess I was always too distressed to walk around.
It’s strange that I never even thought about taking a walk, it’s such a pretty place. ^^;
here’s another verbal pic↓↓↓

I tried uploading a pic, but I can’t,
so I’ll verbally describe it (・∀・)

a large sculpture of the word LOVE

for the first couple of weeks at my new job,
I lived in fear, since a co-worker was telling me
“We’ll determine in the next couple of weeks
if we let you keep the job or not!”
so far, I’ve been able to keep the job. -_-;
but I’m still searching for a REAL job (yet again ^ ^;)
cuz currently, all I do is translate.
Ideally I want to make something, and use my English skills sort of as an extra skill.
I don’t mind what I make, though, a manual or catalogue etc., I don’t care,
as long as I can have a hand in creating something. ^0^
I start my new job tomorrow～～(・_・;)
Which is great, but there are a few things I am scared of.
NO.1– I’m afraid I’ll get lost in Shinjuku Station.
I’ve been lost so many times there.
It’s insane how many people there are in Shinjuku!!(＞＜。)
NO.2– I’m afraid I’ll get sick on the commuter train.
I have to take the line that’s the 2nd busiest in Japan.
In addition it’s a line that’s famous with perverts who
touch you on the train.(-_-|||;)
NO.3– I have to walk 10 min. to the station,
then from Shinjuku,
walk another 10 min. to my work.
To an average Japanese person, walking 10 min. is nothing.
But to me, I consider it torture to I have to walk more than 10 steps.
Yes I know. I’m too lazy…(´Д`;)
Hopefully, it’s not as bad as I think….
Trying to upload my picture file,
for some reason, it’s a two part step
1. I must add pictures using IE
2. then I upload it using Firefox…
why ?(TДT;)
Here’s a pic I took at one of the shrines.
I think the fox family is dignified yet endearing.(＾∀＾◎)

Here’s a nude statue at a train station (completely unrelated to shrines)
She’s completely naked and it’s freezing outside!!(・_・;)
brrrrr….
It’s really cold in Japan, but I’m somehow surviving
by layering sweater over sweater and
using a hot water bottle!
Everytime I see this statue, it makes me feel more cold.
I wish I could wrap her in a blanket or give her clothing!!
To get rid of my recent bad luck
my friend suggetsted to go to a shrine to pray.
That was a month ago, and I mostly I prayed to find a good job…
which I got, today.
For this post, I was just gonna write a short text
and upload an image of a shinto fox that I took
but somehow I can’t upload an image ^^;;)
I was fumbling around my computer,
then, just right now, I remembered that my friend told me
I’m supposed to go back to a shrine to
thank them when a wish comes true,
called お礼参り。
Uh-oh….
Maybe the spiritual world prevented me to upload an
image so I’d remember to go back to thank them!! Σ(*’ロ’)
