Start a blog

So I start this blog on a cold winter day somewhere in Japan.

I am currently looking for a job. I've just come back from a city in down-under and missing that country so much that I can't explain.

I used to think that after I realize my big dream - studying overseas for a while- I'd just get married with someone okay and have children. Now that idea just makes me scared.... I am still 27 and I'm craving more excitement in life. I mean, I can have excitement by getting married and raising my kids but the problem is....

I don't have a partner.

I'll talk more about this later.

I'm 100% Japanese but nobody says I look like Japanese. Most people think I am Malaysian.... strangely enough, but probably that's because of my look. Thanks to the good pronunciation class my college provided and Sex and the City dvds, I speak good English with an American accent, and one year in Australia gave me some Aussie accent as well. As a result, two people have actually asked me "So which part of CANADA are you from???" Funny enough. I love maple syrup, though.

I'll write this blog in English out of three reasons. One: I want to be using English so that it doesn't deteriorate. Two: I want to have opportunities to build up my vocabulary by using new words such as "deteriorate". Three: I just love writing English. For a girl whose dream had been "being a bilingual", using English comfortably on everyday basis is just a dream come true.

I am just wondering who my readers are going to be.... Mostly they would be random visitors, or maybe they would be interested in Japanese culture..... Please do me a favor if you have time. When you see a mistake or find funny expression on this blog, PLEASE LET ME KNOW by leaving a comment. I'd appreciate your help so much as I want to improve my English more and more. Thank you.

Okay so for today my message to you readers:

Don't come to Japan in winter. It's just so cold and dark. Wait until March.
