In this day and age, you have "friends" by the hundreds.
Kind of making the childhood song lyric 友達百人できるかな?
into real life.

I have over 500 friends on facebook, and there are some people
that I know who are connected to people in the thousands.

For my birthday, I got wishes from probably over 100 people...
in all different mediums and forms.

In real life though, had it not been for FB etc, it would be
people whom I've lost touch with, and would be lucky if
I remained friends with 50+ of them.

I have about a dozen or so close friends
Of which, there are 5 I would do anything for.

I'm lucky to have those people in my life. ]]> https://ameblo.jp/lalasayaka/entry-10861316467.html Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:20:25 +0900 and support that my friends have offered me.

I can't express how much I feel loved by everyone.

I'm fortunate to say that my parents are fine for now.

Please continue to pray and send good thoughts to
those who have been affected by the earthquake. ]]> https://ameblo.jp/lalasayaka/entry-10828398750.html Sat, 12 Mar 2011 10:47:15 +0900 can trust.

I msged someone that sent me a friend request even though
I didn't recognize him.

Normally I would simply ignore those.

It was probably because of the mutual friends that showed up
and because of the fact that he went to my HS.

Being from a smaller town, and a nice one at that,
that lends to some credibility.

Ultimately I'm glad I went out on a limb, and met up with him.
I feel like I'm back in HS all over again, haha.

I'm thankful for:
My family
- to have the wonderful parents that I do
- for them to have their health
- to have the brother that I do, who shows he cares in his own ways.
(hello, iPad)

My friends
- who stick with me through thick and thin. No matter what I do
- especially to my closest friends that are absolutely irreplaceable
- my best friend, who knows me better than I do sometimes.

My job
- although I complain A LOT about my work and Clients, I do like what I do
- having the coworkers that are more than just coworkers
- the creativity I am around and a part of

Home
- to be able to call so many places "home" NJ, Maui, 京都/東京, and LA
- to have friends that have opened up their homes for me, especially during
the holidays since I'm so far away from my family in LA.

And on that note, casa de Murayama today.

Off to cook up a storm! ]]> https://ameblo.jp/lalasayaka/entry-10718443120.html Fri, 26 Nov 2010 05:10:11 +0900
But sometimes, life throws such a damn curve ball.
That you don't know what to make of it.

SO much has happened in the past few weeks~month...
I don't know how to process it all.

I used to think, that by the time I was 28,
I would have my shit together and be a grownup
know what the hell I'd be doing in life, and be on track.

Oh how far I am from that...
for the first time in my life, I have been single, like
TRULY single. It's somewhat of a new territory...
and in a couple of weeks, I would have been at it for
an entire year officially.
Ironic how I thought I'd be married by the time I was 28.
instead, I'm finally learning how to go on dates.

Anyway curve ball.

Nothing that's personal to me but to people around me.

sometimes you have to stop and say. WTF.
How the hell does THAT happen?

I guess the only thing you CAN do, to wait and see
how life works out ]]> https://ameblo.jp/lalasayaka/entry-10597681822.html Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:35:54 +0900
lucky to have the friends that i do
lucky to work with the people that i do
lucky to have the family that i do

everyone made me feel special today.

from exploding my email/fb/phone starting at midnight
to decking out my desk, to the gifts, to my team all
cramped and hiding in the team room with tray full of
sugar high goodies...

I feel very much loved. ^^ ]]> https://ameblo.jp/lalasayaka/entry-10502110537.html Tue, 06 Apr 2010 15:49:50 +0900
There, I saw my ex, and got introduced to his new gf.

Strangely enough, she reminded of... me. And it' not just
in my head. My friends who've met her before me had the
same reaction. There were strange similarities in our auras.
At least the old me. How I used to be while I dated him.
Fobby, reserved, tiny, and dedicated to him.

I'm no longer that person.

It was a strangely cleansing experience.
It was as if I was finally allowed to close that chapter
in my life and move on.

Life has a funny way of working out.

If the experience was any earlier, I don't think
I would have been able to handle it as calmly/gracefully
as I did. (would have probably bolted)
I didn't have that "sick-to-the-stomach" feeling
that I used to have before.

I guess it was perfect timing.

Now to move onto the next chapter in my life.

Whatever that may be.
]]> https://ameblo.jp/lalasayaka/entry-10488059597.html Mon, 22 Mar 2010 04:33:06 +0900 since 2009... I'm probably overdue for an update.

Since the end of last year, I've rediscovered twitter.
I've had it for about a year now, but only since
Nov, did I start it back up again. It's getting
somewhat addicting.

Maybe it's the character limit, but I find myself
tweeting more in Japanese... It seems more concise and to
the point. It's also a lot more descriptive, and conveys
emotions easier.
I guess that's in part to the beauty of the Japanese language
and the subtle nuances it brings. Even the emoticons are
far more descriptive. Too bad my non-Japanese OS PC doesn't
have that "kao" functionality. I would have so much fun.

I initially titled this "daylight savings" since the time
change was throwing me off and I couldn't sleep so I
decided to blog. It's almost 1am, and yet I'm awake,
since as far of my body clock is concerned, it's still
before midnight.
Although, it doesn't really matter with how much I've
been an insomniac lately.

I've had a bunch of stuff on my mind lately since the
new year. But it's getting kinda late, and it's quite
lengthy... so perhaps I'll save it to another day.
Then again, maybe I won't. I started this blog - simply
for myself. Are the events that have been happening to
me lately, something I want to write down and have it
live on in the internet black hole forever? With all of
the tracking, analytics, searchability... you never know
where it might end up.

I guess I could write this all down in a journal, as
opposed to a weblog... especially if my concerns are people
finding this... which obviously defeats the purpose of web 2.0.
but truth of the matter, I've never been one to keep a diary.
I guess, simply it's easier for me to type things out...
It's easier to delete things, so it doesn't seem as big
of a deal as physically putting it down on paper.
I had a xanga page previous to this, where I wrote in
for the majority of the years I was in college.
It's quite intriguing to read back on it... it's a reflection
who I was, and am. perhaps maybe, I'll just keep writing
here, for the same reasons. For me to look back and see
one day.

but for now. good night. ]]> https://ameblo.jp/lalasayaka/entry-10482528722.html Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:43:44 +0900
advice is what you seek when you already know the answer
but don't want to believe it...

or something to that effect

sooooo true...

i realize that i ask for advice a lot when i know that it's not
the right thing to do...

maybe to help clear a guilty conscience? or someone to validate
the fact that what i'm doing is ok?

i feel like i'm always torn between what's right and what my
heart wants especially when it comes to guys/relationships...

go figure.

maybe i'm just not used to being single.
