Song of Sparrows

Have got too little idea for Japan 4, and since I've already uploaded my pics on FB, I'll pass. Anyway, I went to 御殿場 to shop for gifts for my Godma (it was her birthday on 21 Oct), for my parents, for my brother and doggie before taking a long ride back to Tokyo. The second last day was spent shopping for more gifts before meeting my ex-girlfriend for tea, and then somemore tennis gang (those who couldn't come for the camp) for dinner.

ジョアンはあいかわらずかわいかった(笑)もう話さない状態だったのに、ちょうど自分が日本に着いた日に連絡が来て、結局どのように接していいのかを知らないまま、会ってしまった。会社が潰れたことは分かったけど、近況が分からなかったから、頑張っていて都内のビジネススクールに通ってるその姿を見て、ちょっと安心した

本当に自分が東京にいれば、やり直せるだろう。そしてどっちかと言うと好き。ただ、うまくできるのは半年ぐらいの自信しかなくて、先週礼拝のメッセージを聞いて、昔のことを思い出して、やはり根本が違うし、モード系の彼女とはいずれつらいと感じるだろう

Song of Sparrows

Watched this last evening, it was such a wonderful movie. Very light hearted and reminded me that no matter what religion a person believes in, and no matter what culture a person comes from, the vulnerability and susceptibility towards the temptation of riches and as a result, selfishness remains the same.

But nevertheless, there are signs in our lives that will bring us back on the right track (if we are willing to open our eyes and see them). A wonderful feel-good movie and with the sermon the day before, I guess I've received something internally.
