Beginnings :/: Hajimete

You said you wanna go to Japan? You wish is hereby granted.

I am typing this on valentine's night, where the reality of leaving loved ones behind became increasingly acute. I am still unable to come to a conclusion whether being the only one in Law School to get this slot was a good thing or not, because I would be braving this alone. Most others have company. I keep consoling myself that since I'm introverted by nature, and there are nightmare people in school who i never want to be on the same flight(plight) with. It would be a great opportunity to find myself, especially at this point of my life when I'm out of the turbulence of teenage-hood and before the responsibilities of adulthood kick in. I sincerely believe there is no other time in my life to do this. The time is now.

Lost in Translation. I loved the beauty of that movie, but for me, the lack of subtitles would not kill me the same way it killed me when I was in Chiangmai, Thailand. Nonetheless I keep reassuring myself that I am a citizen of the world, hardened by global travel, and that I can thrive when transplanted overseas, hence the title I gave to this blog. Lets see if the orchid can survive temperate soil when transplanted from tropical charcoal.
