It's been a few days since my last blog post! To be honest, I've written some posts but they just didn't really merit their own whole blog post, but I'm gonna compile them all in this one! So enjoy some of my thoughts from this past week...!
Enjoying My Morning Walk
Today I got to go on a walk for the first time this week. It had been raining fo a few days straight so it was nice to finally feel the sunlight.
This time I decided to walk along the JR Chuo-Line. Not really any reason for this line in particular, but I enjoy walking along the train lines because they help me not get lost. Plus it's a nice bonus to get to watch the trains as I walk. I used to live in Tachikawa so I would take the Chuo-Line everyday, but now I hardly use it despite living so close to it. Maybe I will take it soon if I go hiking...
All of the hydrangeas had withered, but I still got to see a lot of beautiful morning glories. Hopefully they can survive the summer heat in the upcoming weeks, but I have my doubts. I'm out here barely surviving, and I get to stay inside most of the time.
I am looking forward to finally enjoying summer. And hopefully I can go on my morning walks more often, especially now that I'm trying to lose weight...
Gettiing a New Phone
This weekend I'm planning on getting a new phone. But not just any phone... I'm gonna get a flip phone!
Ever since a friend told me about the dumbphone trend years ago, I've been wanting to get a flip phone. I mean, they just look so cool! And it would probably help me break out of my "stare at phone for 2 hours" habit. I gave up on the idea back when I was living in the US, but now that I live in a country that still sells them in regular phone shops I decided I finally want to give it a try.
After much researching, I decided that the KY-42C would be my best pick. I already use Docomo for my home wifi and smart phone, so changing phones shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Plus it has bluetooth and wifi connectivity, which is a must for me! I actually got to go see it myself the other day, and I just love the sizing and color. Plus the buttons were a lot easier to use than I thought it would be!
Getting a flip phone will be a huge change for me, especially as someone who never had one before, but I'm very excited about it! I will definitely write a whole nother blog post once I get it.
Thinking About the Weekend...
This upcoming weekend is a three day weekend in Japan. It's the first longer break I have in a while, and now that I don't have to worry about work either I need to make the most of it.
First, I desperately need to get myself together. My room is a mess and my hair has grown out far too long... Maybe I will go get a haircut on Saturday? Going to the barber is such a stressful experience, but I have to do it someday so I might as well get it over with first. And as for cleaning my room, I need to prioritize getting my table cleaned off. I'll be getting back into animating soon, and sadly I can't do that while laying in my bed.
I'd also love to go back to Chiba. I think the oceans on the Pacific side are so beautiful, and now that summer is really kicking off I would like to go again. I've already been to Kujyu-Kurihama and Katsuura, so maybe this time I will try somewhere new! Currently debating between Kisarazu and Choshi... But I want to focus more on the ocean this time so I think I will go with Choshi. Seems like the bus will be the fastest way to get there, which will be fun!
I'm also going to go ahead and get that flip phone I've been wanting, too. I've been talking about it and looking forward to it for so long... I shall write about it more in-depth when I get it. I can't wait!
With so much to do, it kinda feels like my summer is finally kicking off. I'll have another long weekend in August, too, which I'll probably spend doing more fun activities, and I've got 11 whole days off in September. I should really start planning on what to do then...
Now that I look back, I really didn't have much concrete to say today, huh. But I will have a lot more to write about after this weekend!!!
