Lunchtime.

I am going to let you all in on a little secret. I have a problem with food. No, not that kind of problem. I am nowhere near obese and probably never will be. I love to eat, but I can’t eat crazy amounts. See, I am really self-conscious when I eat around people. I’m not […]

Breaking away.

So this week has been クレイジー as we say in Japanese. Let me start with this weekend. Friday night I got to watch a three hour special of Music Station, a show where they host artists who just put out music recently, and have them perform. They also do events, and last Friday’s was a flashback, […]

Seasons really affect my mood. I hate summer. I hate sweating and I lose all energy to be productive in the sweltering heat. In summer, I put on a hoodie, crank up the air conditioning, and stay inside. I become a 引きこもり and leave the house as little as possible. When my friends and I […]

Recharge.

It’s amazing what one class can do. My last class was really good. Cute, energetic, ready to talk with me, fast at their own introductions, and the JTE and I have built up a better rapport as this was our 4th lesson together. Lunchtime. Oh baby. Find me on:

Today, I started doing introduction lessons again. I really want to be done with these. The students are either hyperactive and ask personal questions I don’t feel like answering… or they are like today: as we say in Japanese – しーーーーーーん。　（silent) So my JTE today is really nice and well meaning but he usually assumes […]

So, why do I need a blog? Why do I want one? I’m a writer and I have been a lazy one lately. No more college classes means no more writing papers. Which is a good thing, I suppose. But I LOVE writing papers. I love writing everything. Mostly because writing something down helps me […]

Penne with Chicken in Tomato Sauce

So at this new grocery store I went to (and will most likely be going to from here on out) I found fresh basil and it inspired me to make one of my favorite things ever: penne with chicken <3 This is my first time making chicken since I moved here. Kind of crazy. I've […]

Beginnings.

September 25, 2013September 25, 2013 ninjamoni 2 Comments

The simple things excite me. Meeting someone who shares my interests. Eating delicious food that I cooked for myself. Finding inspiration on an otherwise normal day. I was inspired to make a blog. A real one. I got sick of posting on Facebook because those sorts of updates don’t allow me to free flow think. […]
