kanashimi

i promised myself to sleep early today, cuz tomorrow is so important for me, cant explain why now, i have to do my best for the lesson tomorrow. BUT something came up, i cant sleep, thats why i am here

u r leaving, i know that, leaving for good? r u kidding? ....u like to joke so much, why isnt this a joke this time?

bad bad timing

(ok because I cant sleep, and it is a waste of time anyway I decide to go to school now even though it is probably close now)

Before I walked out the gate, I figured that I forgot to bring my wallet...do i even need that? yes because i would need my gate card to come back in, so I went back home and came out again. This time I bumped into the same Japanese friend who was running. He asked where I was going I said to school, he offered to walk me to music school. Even though I wanted to walk alone and I felt that this may not be a good time to meet/talk with people I didn’t say no, that would be rude….but then later on maybe he could sense something, probably because I was very different and didn’t really talk, he said if I felt like walking alone he could leave me alone

“I just feel sad cuz one of my friends is leaving, and I just knew about it”

“Sorry I am so different today”

I don’t really remember what I said, just remember that I did most of the talking, I guess it was sth like talking to myself, I don’t even know if he understood what I said

“Do you ever feel sad?” Suddenly I was curious, cuz a person like him, who has almost the same routine everyday, probably does pretty much the same thing everyday,..just a very disciplined life in short, probably meeting the same people everyday…..maybe a simple life like this has very little ups and down

“Of course” (I knew of course he must have..and I knew it was a stupid question even before I asked)

“Like today, I didn’t do as well as I wanted to in my exam…” (Oh it was about self achievement…wonder how about other thigns like r’ship with people or emotions…)

The school was not open I decided to turn back, I thought ..ok why not make full use of the time and make myself happier, so I started to ask ok whats the word for the day, he looked around and said, how about light, while he pointed at the lamp-post on top of us (oh…ok sure…never expected that). Then I remembered how he told me how to say “how much is this” earlier in a restaurant, So I said in Japanese, “this is light”…He pointed at another lamp post which is further, and said “that is light”…Oh so “XXX means that…”….

Then we learnt “we are walking” and stupid things like “I am human”, and gradually come into a conversation in Japanese:

”Oh of course you are”
“and …You are human too”
“yeah you are right”
“Really? I am rite?”
“yes…”
………
……….
…………


We walked past the gate, now by the pool, suddenly I asked in English: How do you say I am sad?

“Watashi wa kanashi desu”

He asked: “Nande?”

I said, “because you are leaving. How do you say that?”…

Ok, so:

To you, dear friend:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kon ya wa (tonight)
Watashi wa Kanashi desu ( I am sad)
Nazenaraba (because)
Anata wa Kae-tte shimau (You are leaving)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I feel that I should say something to him too, cuz he is a little bit sad too

So I requested to learn this;

Kanashima naide (Don’t be sad)
Kondo wa kitto umaku ikimasu (You will do well next time)
Ganbatte!!! (I added this)

“Hontouni Arigatou” (thank you so much)

“Dou itashimashite” (You’re welcome)

“Anata kara takusan manabimashita ( I learnt a lot from you)

“Hontouni Arigatou”

“Dou itashimashite”

“Watashi wa kaerimasu” (I am going back)

“Wastashi wa Nemurimasu” (I am going back to sleep)

“Oyasumi”

“Oyasumi”
