Beautiful movies

Sigh....

I spent these two days watching romantic movies, chick flick romances, such as `The Jane Austen Book Club`, `Only You`, `Serendipity`...among many....I really, really do love those movies, with happy endings and a little bit unrealistic...but can happen in real life..:)!

I guess mine is also like those in chick flick movies, of course, the story of how I met my husband...Well, its like in those kind of stories, in which the girl (in this case, me), never expects to meet someone in a strange, unique way, and to fall in love with that person....just like that, just like a snap of a finger....Never realized that he is the one, until you feel something inside you that makes you realize you want to be with him, forever...

I met my husband through the internet, we chatted, chatted, talked over the phone, so many times...never saw each other until, well 3 months afterwards, in Tokyo.......Its not a romantic city, but yet, to me at that time, Tokyo in the heat of the summertime can be the most romantic city in the world...:)

The first time I met him, I was like....wow....laughed inside my heart (in a nice way of course)...I was laughing at myself, of course not at him, cause he turned out as the way I expected...I was laughing at how I can be in this state of madness, madly enough to meet a stranger in the middle of the busy life of Tokyo....

But then, when we held hands, at that moment I realized that...he is the one....If someone asked me, how come I be so sure? Well, there is no answer for that, to tell the truth...I myself didnt understand what force can put me in such situation....I just happened to know that, he is the one, he is the one that I choose to spend my life with....On that day, in the front of Akihabara station, he held my hand, and asked me `will you be my wife?`....just like that...:) It was, of course, beyond the real proposal, like months after that, but to me, that one in Akihabara certainly expressed how his feeling for me...

4 years after we meet, we still together, still the same me and my husband, still share the love that we have.....

So, if you ask me, is he your perfect one? My answer is, he is not perfect (like me), but he surely is the ONE....:)

Another farewell

...I hate saying goodbye...

This morning, I and my husband and our friend Kik, drove our best friend, Miguel to the Narita Airport. He will go back to Mexico after studying in E-biz IUJ with my hubby. Before leaving, he stays in our place for like, 2 weeks, he is such a funny guy, warm, kind and easy to get close to everyone. That is why when he's leaving, everyone wanted to bid farewell to him to the airport, but since there are only 5 people can fit into our car, so, just the three of us, and Miguel.

Miguel has become a close friend to my hubby, and in these past weeks, to me. That is why, it feels so sad when saying goodbye to him, he almost couldnt keep himself from crying. In these moments I suddenly remembered how it reminds me when I had to say goodbye to my dear friends from IUJ.

Yup, life in IUJ is something that is very precious to us.

IUJ has given us a bond of friendship, which we cant find in any other places in big cities in Japan. Its so precious that our friends can truly be our family, that shares laughs, happiness, sadness and tears. Its so precious that no classes can give any lesson on how to make good friends, on how to form a bond of friendship.

That is why, I hate the moment like this, the moment that you have to really say "sayonara", "goodbye", to your dear friend, that you know there is little chances to meet again, somewhere, somehow. However, to knowing that your friend can say to you " You always have a home in Mexico" or any other parts of the world, makes you so happy, and so grateful that you can be so blessed with friends, in any parts of the world. It makes you realize that, no matter what, you are having true friends, in good and bad times, in needs and indeed..

Bye Miguel, have a safe trip, and please noted that you also have a home, here in Japan and in Indonesia..
