Umiiyak kong puso'y nananawagan

Pwede niyo ba siyang tulungan?

Lugmok na naman sa putikan

Dahil nabiktima ng mga salitang "di kita iiwan"

Dear Diary: 4月22日

Inbound again! We made some adjustments with GM and decided to pay more attention to my Japanese learning than the fact that my English is immensely better than all of the other staff combined. In contrast with all of the other days, today morning my task was to practically ignore the foreign guests and focus all of my attention to the Japanese guests. GM even teached me some greetings and topics to use to initiate a conversation with the guests. 

First, I was to check their meal coupon for their name and if it was easy enough, use it to start a conversation. Here is how I approached the guests:

ご朝食でございますか？ ‘Go joushoku de gozaimasu ka?’ - You’re going for breakfast?’

ご案内いたします。’Go annai ita shimasu’ - I’ll show you the way / guide you there.

ご朝食権をあつかりいたします。’Go joushoku ken wo atsukari ita shimasu’ - I’ll collect the breakfast ticket.

・・・様、今日いい天気でございますね ‘Ms./Mr./Miss ・・・, it’s a nice weather today.’

昨日どちらかお出かけにされましたか？ ‘Sakijitsu dochira ka kankou wo saremashita ka?’ - Did you go sightseeing yesterday?

Today and yesterday were the last days for Nemophila in the Hitachi Seaside Park, so a lot of the guests went there yesterday or were planning on going there today, so it was a waterproof way of initiating conversation successfully.

At first I was a bit tired and afraid of making mistakes, but after several (and I mean SEVERAL) try and errors I got the hang of it and the rest of the morning went smoothly. A lot of the Japanese guests complimented my Japanese and an encounter with me clearly lifted their spirits.

Later I went to work in the restaurant Rose for the rest of the day.

こんにちわ！Hello !

So it’s been already 4 weeks since I started my internship in Mito Plaza Hotel in Mito, Ibaraki. For a while I’ve been wondering what to write about in this blog. What would my readers wanna know the most? Are the people checking out this blog more interested in my internship or in me and my story, or maybe in the differences of the Finnish and Japanese culture? Or maybe just interested in Japan in general? For all that I know the only reader I have is the next Fin, who is aiming to go to Japan as the next intern of Hanako project. And by the way if that’s YOU then hello friend! You’ve come to the right place and if you’re still thinking whether you should or shouldn’t apply for Hanako, just DO IT. If you’re a little bit nervous or afraid or unsure whether moving to a foreign country for 2 months an living by yourself in an environment where practically no one speaks English language, DO IT. Get out of your comfort zone and enter the void. In Japanese, the verb 成長する (seichou suru) means ‘to grow up’ and the Japanese tend to say that you should always keep on growing and improving yourself and your skills, no matter what. Here a Japanese proverb: 為せば成る なせばなる (Naseba naru) その気になってがんばりさえすれば、できないことはないということ。 [Trans:]  Where there is will, there is a way It is said that there is nothing that you can’t do, just as long as you are interested in it.

Panimula

Ginawa ko yung tumblr account ko sa isang rason: Umaasa ako na dito, mailalabas ko lahat ng hinanakit na hindi ko masabi sa mga tao na tinuturing kong kaibagan. Mga problema na kahit sa sarili kong pamilya di ko ma-open up. 

Umaasa ako na dito, hindi ko na kailangan magtago. Umaasa ako na dito, pwede kong ibukas yung sarili ko. Umaasa ako na dito, merong makikinig sa mga kwento na matagal ko nang kinikimkim. Umaasa ako na dito wala akong matatanggap na panlalait kung hindi supporta at lakas ng loob upang magpatuloy araw-araw.

Higit sa lahat...

Umaasa ako na dito, kahit dito lang, e makahanap ako ng totoong tao na napagdadaanan o napagdaanan na din lahat ng bagay na nadanas ko.

Palagi kong hinihintay yung umaga na gigising akong masaya, at wala ng kasamang pagluha pa.

FEELING BLAH –

Ang tagal ko nang naghihintay sayo.. naghihintay na kusa mong pansinin at kausapin, pero anong nangyare? wala :) Ang hirap pag babae ka, tapos katulad kong mataas ang ego. kahit gaano ko kagusto ang isang tao, hindi ko ginagawa yung ginagawa ng karamihan sa ngayon. Marami na rin ang nagsasabing aminin ko na, na kunin ko daw number mo sa facebook, na ako daw yung mag message sayo kapag nagdadrama akong "kelan kaya nya ako papansinin?" pero ayoko talaga e. Oo, nasa 21st Century na tayo, I know. Pero, mas mataas parin yung ego ko kesa sa feelings ko. Pasasaan pa't lilipas din naman to. Ano ba naman yung 3 taon kang naghintay na kusa kang pansinin at kausapin, diba? Tipong lahat ng facebook friends mo nag tatag sayo ng pictures and status dahil birthday mo tapos sya online ni HBD wala lol ayoko na, tama na yon! Baka di talaga tinakdang pansinin mo 'ko kahit isang beses!! Hahahaha wag na sana kita makita sa school. ayoko naaa. Grabe, December 2012 kita unang nakita and since then, di ka na nawala sa isip ko lol 3 years na sa December 11 yung kalokohang to pero wala ka paring idea about dito. Tama na 'yon. Hahaha woooo!!

Paglimot

Minsan nakakainis din ano? Kasi yung tipong gusto mo na siya kalimutan, tapos yung mga kaibigan mo hala siya pa yung topic. Tapos sila pa yung magagalit, kasi ikaw tatahimik nanaman, yung masasaktan ka nanaman sa isang gilid. Ang hirap kasi eh. Minsan sa pag sabi pa nga lang ng pangalan niya, naalala mo na yung sakit na naranasan mo noon eh. Yung pag-usapan niyo pa kaya? Hindi ito makatarungan!
