Unpredictable

This morning was cold 12 deg. I somehow regretted putting away my winter jacket last weekend. And so I had to contend with the cold...ガマン(persevere). As much as spring symbolizes hope and a new beginning, it also brings forth a lot of unpredictable weather. But then I already knew that...

Finally the tax return that I've been working on half-halfheartedly for the past 5 months has arrived. A few more days and my tax lawyer's assistant will be out of my hair haha! But I certainly welcome (and is grateful) for the unexpected financial blessings.

My colleague's fiance is so spontaneous (read: unpredictable). She's such a free-spirited soul that I sometimes envy her. Used to be the same but over my recent adult years I have happily traded spontaneity with stability. It's not that bad.

Shingo never ceases to amuse me, after all these 12 years that I have known and watched him on Smap. He impersonated Susan Boyle. It's so funny! But what amazed me even more was that the live feed from outer space, from the space station where the astronaut Noguchi-san is in. When you see that indeed there is something far bigger, far more bizarre, more mind-boggling out there and that you know it's real, wow!!! It never ceases to amaze me how the universe, no matter how complex, how diverse it is, can keep it all together in a synchronized harmonious flow. And even in a smaller context, we human beings - fail, cry, hurt, succeed, triumph- at the expense(or benefit) of others, yes we human beings move on...I can't help but wonder whether the unpredictability of the world is really perhaps predictability of a destiny that we just cannot comprehend even in the slightest bit.
