Belly Dance Video and Random Ramblings.
So...recently I've been belly dancing alot. So much so, that for some drunken reason I ended up dancing at a friends bar for their 3rd birthday since Opening. I had a great time and I got to drink alot of tequilla which made me happy. :) The performance in itself was nerve wracking, but once I got into it, I was fine. I had friends around me and even Shimpei and Rin came down from Gujo to see me dance. It was a good night.
The entire routine I coordinated myself. The song was Shakira - Ojos Asi (eyes like yours) and well, it was fun. I unfortatly don't have a video of it to show you or many pictures, but I do have a video from the previous performance that I did with girls in my belly dance class. If you look closely, I'm usually in the background in the blue skirt with the white gigantic belly. Yes, thats me.
We'll be performing again at the end of this month, so its back to belly dance training this Sunday. Its a lot of fun though! I guess I found myself with a new and interesting hobby.
In other news, I've been working out at the gym alot, Belly dance has been going good. I occasionally go out and do things and I'm constantly worried about learning how to drive here. Its such a hassle to try and learn. I already know the basics so I'm trying other methods where I don't have to pay thousands of pounds to re-learn. My flat is usually clean, I cook my own food and I sit and watch True Blood and SATC whilst doodling. Generally my life is just the standard.
I also occasionally do silly things and go out drinking with friends. However now that the JET year is coming to an end here, I'm going to have to say goodbye to alot of friends here as they all go home. This is the worst part of the JET program. People leave and go home. So I'm ignoring that this will happen this year. However this also coincides with my birthday..so its not going to be the overly fun 25th that I really wished for. 25 this year...thats a big age. One of those, you-should-be-getting-on-with-things milestones. Clearly I'm not doing that though. But I guess that can be my 25th birthday wish. I have alot of tough decisions on the way. Really tough ones.
Life with Rin is fine, but rather than life with Rin around, its more like Life without Rin at all. Hes Still in Gujo and hes still working all the time. Since the end of March, we've not done anything together. I blame this partly on the fact that hes Japanese, partly on him being a teacher and largely on him being uneffecient. Which well, this is the boy that sleeps until well...I don't know actually. He never wakes up properly. So yeah, life without Rin is ok. But give me another year and if its still the same I'm sure I'll crack.
Thankfully its Friday now :D So I get to go home, then meet with one of my teachers families before heading to possibly get a hair cut, but I'm not sure at this point. However I do know I'm headed to Gujo to see Rin, and well as much as I like Rin, I don't like Gujo. So yey... un-fun times ahoy! The place doesn't even has a convience store thats convient. I don't even think it has a super market. Fun times. (well his area at least...).
For now...Sayonara!
