Perth*Days パース日記

::: 狂う？ :::

雨が降っていた。
昨夜、のんびりはじめたPainting。
仕舞いには、狂ったように描いていた。
時間も何もかも忘れた。

気がついたら12時半。
部屋は油絵の具とターペンタインの匂いが充満していた。

----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

It was raining.
Started painting very easy last night.
Ended up with maddly passion.
Forgot time and everything.

0:30am when I realise time.
Room was fullfilled with fume of oil paints and turpentine.


今朝撮影。いい感じ。Shot from this morning.

明日からか。。。緊張してきたな～。I am getting a bit nurvous. It's tomorrow!

::: Rainbow :::

希望だとか、夢だとか、そんな言葉を思い出してしまった。
Reminded me of the word "hope" or "dream" etc.
雨上がりの虹、TAKAくんが見つけた。
Taka found the rainbow this evening.


TAKAくん、神様みたいだ（笑） He looks like a GOD :)

::: Are you in LOVE? :::

This e-mail was forwarded from Yau-san.
I really like this.
Thanks man!
Let me know what you think.
Maybe I am in LOVE???
ヤオさんからメールが。みんな、恋してる？？？


Subject: make yourself tingle all over, awesome stuff...

LADIES...

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
who calls you back when you hang up on him,
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the boy who kisses your forhead,
who wants to show you off to the world
when you are in your sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends,
who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you
of how much he cares about you
and how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends and
says, "...that's her."


GUYS...

Find a girl who calls you baby faced instead of hot
or sexi
who can't stand it when you hang up on her and calls right back,
who would sit there for hours looking into your eyes,
who doesn't care what you look like, but what's inside counts the most,
Who looks at you with the twinkle in her eyes and kisses you on the cheek instead of the lips,
Wants to be with you in public, even if you wear
those old grass stained and ripped pants with the
bleached jersey like always,
Wait for the girl who is a constant reminder of your
happiness and joy, who makes you smiles just by
knowing she loves you back.
Wait for the girl who you give piggy back rides to in
public and she still is in view of her friends, while
she gets off and you hear her go: "you're the one for me, for always"

IF YOU THINK YOU FIND THE ONE... HERE ARE
SOME CHECKPOINTS...

When you are together with that special someone,
you pretend to ignore that person. But when that
special someone is not around, you might look
around to find them. At that moment, you are in love.

Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh, your eyes and attention might go only
to that special someone. Then, you are in love.

Although that special someone was supposed to
have called you long back, to let you know of
their safe arrival, your phone is quiet. You are
desperately waiting for the call!
At that moment, you are in love.

If you are much more excited for one short e-
mail from that special someone than other many
long e-mails, you are in love.

When you find yourself as one who cannot erase
all the messages in your answering machine
because of one message from that special someone,
you are in love.

When you get a couple of free movie tickets, you would not hesitate to think of that special someone. Then, you are in love.

You keep telling yourself, "that special someone
is just a friend", but you realize that you can
not avoid that person's special attraction. At
that moment, you are in love.

While you are reading this page, if someone
appears in your mind, then u are in love with that person.

::: Connected :::

Tonight was really crazy. Everyone was online and start chatting together on MSN. I felt everyone is here even just a online chatting.
Jane-san was online as well. It was amazing how we connect through internet. She is on the other half of the wold...

I t was crazy but happy because even a thin cable can connect us all together. I liked it so much. I was thinking that I won't miss everyone if that happens after I go home.

Everyone is connected.

Connected to the world, and connected to me.
It's all connected.
Connected...

Sounds really good.
Connected...
Man, maybe it's too much...

::: 幸せという気持ち :::

KevinのHong Kong出身の女友達、Joyちゃんが今日はみんなにスチームボートを作ってくれるとの事で、Kevinから電話がかかってきて、ご飯をおよばれにいった。
これがJoyちゃん。Kevinのことを「Hey Korean」と呼ぶ（爆）。笑える。


おなかが一杯になったキミさん、Robinがガキのようにタバコの箱とかさそして卓球ボールでパターゴルフ遊び始めたので、わたしも加わって一緒にあそんだ。パターゴルフがいつの間にかなんちゃってプールになっていて、その後なんとなんちゃってホッケーになった。



こんな風にくだらない遊びでおなかを抱えて笑ったのは久しぶりだった。
ものすごく幸せな気分になった。
みんなが楽しそうに遊んでいる姿を見たとき、懐かしい気持ちになった。以前の彼が大きな笑顔で大好きなカメラとレンズを居間で広げている様子を見ていたときに覚えた気持ちに似ていた。なんでもないようなことがとても幸せだった、そんな気持ちになった。
この気持ちは二度と忘れないと思う。
なんだか、本当の家族のような気がしてきた。。。これ、やばいの？かな？？？

::: Controlling over someone :::

大抵の男性は女性をコントロールしようとする。それは無意識に出てきているものだから、たちが悪い。フェミニスト賛成派の私にとっては、彼らの思うところの”些細な出来事”が耐えられなかったりする。男性が自分の欲しいもの、欲しくないものを主張するように、女性もきっちりと意見を述べなければならない状況があるとおもうのだ。それは年齢や貧富の差や、国籍などあらゆる”偏見”と属するものを超えて、主張すべきものだと思う。

考えてみれば、現在の社会構造を作ったのも結局、男性であり、そしてこれから急速にそれが変化する事も考えられない。結局、男女平等などと騒いでいる今の世の中でさえ、男性が作り出したものなのだから。だからこそ、些細な出来事を重大視するべきだと思うのだ。

周りにいる友人の男女関係を見てきて思うことがたくさんある。本当に、それでいいの？本当にそれがあなたの欲しいものなの？一つだけ覚えておいて欲しいのは全ての人間関係において力は平等であるという事。
そしてまず、最初に考えなければならない人は、彼でも、彼女でもなく、自分であるということ。つねに自信の力をしっかりと握っていないといけないということ。それは自分の意思を通しぬく事とは少し違う。意見を尊重しあう事が大事なのだ。相手の意見が全く違うからといってそれを自分のやり方にさせることがあっては絶対にいけないのだ。Controlling over someoneということは結局、人間関係形成においてマイナスの要因しか生み出さないものだと思う。

::: Easter BBQ :::

We had Easter BBQ at Robin's tonight.
Thanks to Robin for inviting all of us over and taking care of me.
I was tired from work this morning and Robin says it is from my brain...
I guess it was. When I ate I was pretty happy and got better a bit.

I made Lemon-lime and Bitters for everyone.
I really like it now.
I want to get a bottle to take home so that I can make it to my family and friends.

I didn't take any pictures tonight, bummer...

Jane-san (mama), it was nice talking to you over the phone too.
I hope your observation goes well.
Good luck.

::: Graham & Merced brought flower :::

It was really nice of them bringing me a bunch of flowers. I love having flower in my room that's encouraging me...
They know that I was a bit hurt but I feel better now... Thank you soooooo much you guys. I am happy now.
