Hey mina-san*, I am almost ready for my take-off (guess I haven't talked to you about it yet, I will soon), so I have already started saying goodbyes left and right, which has made me realise that the time to leave is really coming closer and closer. It's just one week that I have left to spend in Italy, and then I'm gonna fly far away to begin a new adventure! I am not severing the ties I have here, but distance will loose them for sure and it's not gonna be easy, even if some of the people I care about really can get on my nerves! Sometimes I get to wonder who loves, but well... for better or worse I do, and that's one big side of the story!
*This means you all in Japanese, don't ask why it came out like that here now!
Everybody keeps complaining that I stay up late and wake up late, I don't know what to say about that, my body works better with this kind of sleep cycle and when I don't have any timed business to care about (like work, lectures, appointments and else), I don't see why society should condemn me for this! Don't we all have the right to feel better? Or as good as we can? And then there are some advantages for society too. For instance, when your parents have an early flight and need to leave for the airport at 4 in the morning, it's quite useful to have somebody awake who is driving you there, isn't it? Let's enjoy this and many other beautiful nights!
I am back from my latest trip, back in Milan for a few days and how does my beloved home country welcome me? Well, with a tropical thunderstorm of course. Thanks, my dear. I have by now accepted the fact that this summer is going to suck as much as 2014 did, so I guess I better find a place where to move next month so that I can enjoy some sunlight...! Anyway, I am sharing with you another beautiful song off Lemolo's debut (full) album, the 2012 'Kaleidoscope'. A great duo they are, I love their music more and more! Something good is happening in this summer time hopefully, at least under the musical discovery point of view!
After a movies night with friends I am back home, it's not been a particularly significant day, just one of these good days spent with the people who matter. Some things are coming up in my life and the time to kill before the next big move is getting shorter and shorter, I am ready and willing to move on with my life, it's been nice hanging out and doing things for a while but I need some purpose, some bigger scheme to be a part of, some objectives, something to do, somethings that is going to MOVE ME and soon enough I should have it back! Can't wait, but at the same I am willing to enjoy at best the free time I have left!
My, my, time flies (as Enya used to sing)!! It's already well over 2.30 AM and I've still got plenty of stuff to do! After writing this post I need to do my little daily Japanese study, then I've completely ignored the planning of my trip to Japan today, plus I've finished my latest colouring last night so... what did I do today? Ah yeah, I went to get a massage and then to buy groceries with my parents... and then? A little yoga, some anime episodes... gosh the days pass by so fast! Tomorrow I have plenty of things to do too, so I don't know if I'm gonna have time to work on my trip planning... it's amazing how full your life gets when you're not working/studying, it feels like your free time vanishes! I'm really gonna need some fuel tomorrow to do it all!
Once again I have to thank KEXP for getting me to know new artists: this time it's Lemolo's turn, they have immediately fascinated me with this beautiful song that they played live at the beginning of their recent visit to the Seattle-based radio. I guess you're gonna be seeing more of them here on the blog soon. I am writing now after a very long and very full but satisfying day: after waking up early, writing a couple of e-mails, talking on the phone with another university I have applied to, seeing a friend of mine get her Italian citizenship (she's from Albania but has lived here since she was like 2 years old), then a medical test, talking with somebody, back home for a shower, train to Milan, a dear friend's birthday and here I am! Hope I'm gonna take it easier tomorrow, but I already have some shopping, an aperitivo and a dinner planned... Milan stresses me out but I can't say I don't love how it fills up my life!
