ABOUT ME

I left Japan 1999 for Canada after quitting my job as a nurse (even thogh,I liked it so much) to just discover something or to experiense something different for (originally planned) only 1 year. And I am still in Canada somehow...my plan has changed..I love wild & beautiful nature in this country and makes me hesitate to go away from here. Besides, I learned so many things (which I really appreciate) from challenging & discovering something new, meeting people, making unfortunate mistakes...from whatever I experiensed since I came to Canada. I miss my family, friend and yum-yum Japanese food in Japan a lot, but I am in the beginning of the way to look for "meaning of my life" to find out what I really want to do, where I want to live, why I am on the earth...and who I am,etc.... After I lost my friend at an unfortunate accident 3 years ago, I was lost in dark in my mind for long time, now trying to kick my butt to go forward and get going with what I have!

PHILOSOPHY

everythings in our life can be funny, just we need to see it in different way (of course, there are some exceptions which can not be funny). Good laugh makes things happier

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, except heavy-metal, jazz...I am so bad at remembering names of movies...I was crazy of reading books by Sophie Kinsella. All her books are unbelievablly funny and give me great kick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching northern lights (Aurola?) in North West Territory in Canada. I felt "yes,I am on the earth." laying on a huge frozen lake, wrapped in thick winter jacket (-40c outside) to look up sky, at same time to see 360c holizon around...you can not imagine how dynamic and beutiful it is until you see real great one somewhere north. You can't tell how actually beutiful it is from only pictures, you have to see it!
