Well, it's been many moons since my last entry.
The days have gone by, the months passing with each season.

It's now winter in Japan, which means the days are bombarded with rain and snow. Yeah, it's damn cold also.

Looking back, it's hard to believe that it's been a year and one day since I first came onto deviantart. It's amazing, or as my students would say: "Unbrerivaber!"


So much has happened in the space of a year (and one day), it's hard to recollect and remember everything. Friends came and went, countries traveled to, memories created, lost, forgotten or stored for prosperity. Life's like that.

Another year, another set of students graduating, now dispersed out to the world, hopefully armed with skills and knowledge capable to achieve their dreams. Who knows, perhaps I even contributed to their visions, by some off-chance they remember something. I can only hope.

As for me, well, I'm older, more melancholic and sentimental in my maturity. Very soon, I'll be starting another chapter in my life, phasing into a new adventure of living and loving. Wow, that's a scary thought.... I think.

On an unrelated topic, I've often wondered how the worth of our life is measured. If our wishes for a happy and fulfilled existence could be measured in hugs and kisses, then I am complete. If wishes were kisses, I want nothing more.

More photos will be posted soon, once I sort through the pile of images I've collected over the last few months. My deepest thanks and appreciation to those who have viewed this site and favourited various photos. Apologies for not having the time to comment on your views or thanking you personally.

I'll be back soon. Sorry for the brevity. Thanks for the silent support.
