I haven't been on here since December 2012. A lot of things has happened throughout that time... Then I was a 19 year old, 1st year uni student at RMIT university studying Social Sciences, Arashian for 4 years and still yearning to go to Japan and achieve my no.1 dream of going to an Arashi concert.
Now as a 23 year old, I've graduated with a Bachelor of Environments from Melbourne Uni after transferring. Still an Arashian but for 8 years now and counting... I also managed to go on student exchange to Tokyo in 2014-15, just so I can be a 'local' full-time fangirl for 6 months. Plus, I was able to go to Arashi's The Digitalian concert on Dec 19th and 23rd (Aiba-chan's 32nd birthday surprise). Those 6 months in the midst of solitude, self-discovery and new surroundings, I won't forget it.
No longer are the days of me whining about studying and all the things that comes with teenage-hood. I'm an adult that have regrets, responsibilities and work at places that doesn't interest me at all. I still struggle with Japanese but have been on a break for a while so I can take it up again when I'm ready. I'm still trying to understand who I am and what I'm good at and searching for that one career I want to do.
I have plans to go back to Japan hopefully by the end of next year. It's not going to be as long as the first time but I'm hoping, as I get older, that it will be more regularly. Hopefully I'll be able to go to another Arashi concert and watch Jun and Nino's movies (coz Ohno's would have finished airing in cinemas by then).
I'm not on facebook or tumblr as often as I used to but I am on twitter, which is funny coz I didn't understand what you do on twitter until just a few years ago haha.
This is just an update for me in the future to read. I wonder how I will be then when I do my next update. All I wish for is to be happy in the place I will be in and hopefully still love Arashi as much as I do now.
(P.S to myself - when is Aiba-chan's next drama? movie? how did he go hosting Kouhaku? ^^)
