The Gray Cube

@thegraycube

The cube represents my comfort zone. The color gray is how I see my life right now. This blog aims to document my journeys-- how I'll expand my cube, paint it with a full spectrum of colors, and fill it with awesome people, amazing adventures and meaningful lessons. Here's to finding the courage to express and celebrate our true selves. Cheers!

🎶 Dear reader, get out your map, pick somewhere and just run. 🎶 - Taylor Swift (at 和歌山城 Wakayama Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl4VDSkPW6vs-qBC7bDm29Dk3G5nwjbHLP7nIg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📍CG Wakayama High School 🗓️ August 22~26, 2022 It was a good change of pace living in the countryside for a week. At first, the kids (and also me) were shy and nervous. But slowly they open up and they were so nice. I had fun interacting with them. Seeing them do their best and enjoy during activities made me feel like a proud big sister. The last two photos are a letter and a picture they sneaked in when I lent them my phone (to search google) during class. So cute and sweet! Honestly, I felt burnt-out (疲れ切る) from university so I'm glad that I chose to take time off lab work and participated in this program. To the students, I hope your future dreams will come true. And, don't forget to take a break and enjoy life. 頑張りましょうね〜 Fighting! ^_^ (at 和歌山県) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiFq2FQvtX0IWxYAf9cECOjjBvB3tPEuE6hUV00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When your knees already hurt from all the walking but your friend asks you to pose for a picture. The 'sakit-ng-tuhod-ko' pose. 🤣 『膝が痛い』のポーズ。 (at 岐阜公園) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNrYnzlhTK7oOfBQk0hbEm1zP6FAO-YNse-H-g0/?igshid=2i4cvb65ht3z

Unexpected detour. Along with taking my family and our doggos with me, I really wish I could have brought our music room. >.< For now, I'll settle with just window shopping. I usually get shy, but this time I gladly accepted when the staff asked if I wanted to try playing. Hihi. P.S. The shop has a 'play' corner with selfie gears ready so you can take photos or videos while testing the instruments. すごいなあ。 (at 名古屋パルコ) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNPppKOB_cqMJ0UnCpfUjzEHQFQ5JCfclbU6Dg0/?igshid=10der2fwwansz

🎶I hope you know that it wasn't easy Letting go of the life I knew🎶 For 12 years, it's been consistent. Homesickness always strikes at the 10th day I'm away from home. Praying for 2021 and the remaining days of 2020. 🙏🙏🙏 Ganbarimashou~~ PS. There's something about the 1st picture being a stolen shot and taken by my father...

Giants (One OK Rock) 叩いてみた (drum cover) Slow progress after a year but what's important is to be able to jam with your fave songs. No matter how simplified your version is. 😅 Another instrument unlocked. Played when you feel like smashing stuff i.e. 2020. Haha. Thank you neighbors for putting up with my noise! https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGFfNKBiM4Ec6QYvLZAUdp4XfSH4Q2pYFSqKY0/?igshid=1ee9osui1rohy

Kamogawa「鴨川」translation 'duck river'. Last day in Kyoto and I always make sure to visit this place. Discovered this local spot 3 years ago and instantly fell in love with it. Winter, autumn, and spring strolls. In case I'm lost, you know where to find me. #landoftherisingShan (at 鴨川デルタ) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaYIPMhknBNIo9MBkd8TQzYFcm7tHR5Cm8Uc40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ylv2k5nslnva
