on a normal day



Above is a short video of my commute on the Tokyo JR Keihin Tohoku line. Considering I was leaving at around 12:40pm, the station and train platform is quite empty. I'll post a video tomorrow showing how bad the commute can get during the morning rush hour. It's bad. Before the train doors close, a little musical jingle plays in the background, notifying the passengers that the doors are about to close. That's the music you hear in the beginning of the video.



I got a new pocket notebook today. I love it.

Mar. 6th 1:41AM

Torn, between action and non-action; torn, between guts and heart; torn, between loneliness and companionship. This is the state I am in.

Today's weather was absolutely glorious. I woke up with my feet already bathing in warm, 11AM sunlight. The weather for the day was confirmed by Ben, who just came back from running. Finally, a day to clear my mind, a peaceful catharsis. Considering the fact that I have less than two months here in Tokyo, I've started my blitz towards accomplishing what needs to be done. Yet, at the same time, I want to relax. The cherry blossom season starts soon - something I've been dreaming of experiencing for a while now, especially with this gloom of winter finally beginning its exit. I want to do so much, yet, I also want things to flow naturally and take things one step at a time. But two months is two months. Nothing can change this fact, and quite frankly, there's still a lot on my to-do list...
