I have a xanga, but it's not really professional or anything. I mean, you don't necessarily go tell people to take a look at your xanga. But if it's not too much trouble, it'll be most appreciated if you can set up an account on your leisure. Thanks! I may just have to take you up on that offer.

If I actually think about it, not me! (at least not on purpose, haha) You know, though, this reminds me of watching Japanese dramas. I watch them and think wow... what happened to my youth? I wish something like this would happen to me... And then when it happens, it feels like "why does this have to happen to me?!!" まいったなぁｗ I believe that this world is filled with the right opportunities and people. It's just a lot faster to go get them instead of wait for them. サリーも頑張って！If there's anything I can do, let me know. @Sally

Because, like you said, it's through the mistakes that we learn. And it's definitely true about the "pain" making you more alert. While talking to Sako-san today, I began to think a bit more before speaking. In a way, I guess you could say that the way I speak Japanese is quantity over quality to communicate a meaning. Now I'm going for quality over quantity. There's a connection in everything! I'll definitely have a look at the videos. Also, if you're interested in starting a blog as well, I have plenty of webspace. I definitely think it helps to sort out your thoughts from day to day. After all, you're starting on your own dreams as well! @Hiroaki

You're doing something that most people don't have the courage to try, and even when you have vexing moments, you're having those because, unlike most people, you're there in the first place. Seriously, who puts himself in a situation like that? I think most people would say that they'll just wait for the "right opportunities and people," but you're making those both. がんばれよ.

It's hard to speak in a professional manner. I suggest that you get a DS and get the dictionary cartridge. Basically you can write any kanji on the bottom screen, and it gives you definition and what not. It's a really valuable tool for me. It's called "DS sonomama kanji rakubi" I think...something along those lines. You can also write in hiragana and they suggest the different kanji variation that matches it. They also have a english to japanese dictionary as well. As for your experience, I think it was a necessary wake-up call. Negative experiences are positive in the end; it in turn makes you wiser. Unless of course you disregard it and decide that you are right. In "The Power of Kindness" it talks about how pain is necessary. In this case, it's not really pain, but it works either way. It suggests that pain can actually make the individual stronger, and it allows for the individual to be alert the next time a certain situation rises up. At the same time, it can push individuals away, but it really depends on the individual. Hitler or Gandhi. Fortunately even though words may sometimes be hard to communicate, feelings are felt regardless of language barrier. As long as you have a great attitude and an open mind, it will be enough to get by. That was quite a read, but I enjoyed every bit of it. You have an interesting tale to tell everyday. Just proves that you are being productive. Keep pursuing your dream, there's nothing better in life than to do what you love to do. You should watch the derek sivers videos i sent mami. Though it's nothing related to fashion, you might be able to make a connection. Good luck in your endeavors! Language barrier is always something that gets me annoyed as well.
