Just some nice things..

I love to just walk around in the city, or were ever, just to find some of the gold God has put out there for me just to make me smile.
This is some of the things that have made me smile lately.
Well I just had a little walk here one day and all of a sudden I noticed the ground was a little broken, and it totally looked like a cross, so I just had to take a picture of it. I walked on and passed this nice food menu with this weird dolls and some funny lamps that didn't work.

I walked on and passed a sign, well I just love the Japanese signs (the signs signs ), so I just had to take a picture of it, and since I don't really know how to read all of the Japanese yet, I pictured that it said on the sign " Wow , look at that big bike overthere", the thought make me smile, he,he.. (I'm weird)..

I walked on and came to my favourite food shop in this town, it's a little tofu shop, and the nice thing about that shop is to amazingly cute ladies who works there. And they sell tofu ice-cream ...mmm it's amazing.

And every time I come there, they always feed me with a lot of everything, and give me more than double up for what I pay for... wow what a blessing they are.

Another day I got to see the summer, do you see it?.. it's hidden in all the flowers...wow I love those;)

A day I was at the beach I say this sign on the ground, well It's just a sign that says "Don't throw garbage", but there was a sticker there with my name on, and "Nina" isn't really a usual name in Japan, so that was fun.
And this picture of the view is just a nice memory........

By the way everyone. Yesterday I went to the shop to buy some Japanese manga, it's a good way of understanding more Japanese, pictures and the Japanese signs together. So the very nice people in the shop helped me to find something funny and easy for kids to understand, because, well you know, in my daily life I usually like the simple way of thinking, the way kids do, but now I feel like a real kid. Because I had to start all over again with everything. Talking , understanding, be understood and so on...
So yeeee I'm looking forward to read it.

And this last picture, is for you Joffe. I don't think I have to say anymore, do I? \(^0^)/ haha


Have a great day everyone and look for the amazing little things every day.

Wow God is sooo cool

Well I am just so happy. It's just so funny how God knows when I have a difficult time and just fills my days with happiness anyway.
It was sooo cool. I decided to take a trip to Tokyo, just wanted to get away, bring my guitar and play by myself somewhere in a park or anything, I just wanted to sing!! I wrote a friend ,that I have met only once, he is a musician and lives in Tokyo, I wrote him a messages and asked if he knew it was possible to play around somewhere in a park or something, but he didn't reply me (this was on Monday), and I couldn't really decide when I should go, I walked abound with my guitar and bag and it was Thursday and I sat in my friends coffee shop and thought:
"If my friend Chika ask me to do something today, I'll go to Tokyo tomorrow"
(but she is kind of busy so it was a weird thought)
I said a little frustrated to my coffee friend Hide: Ooooooo(ÅÅÅÅÅ) I don't know if I should go to Tokyo today or tomorrow, What shall I doooo????
And then one minute later my friend Chika called me and asked if we I wanted to hang out with her and her friends that evening. So then that choice was made up.
I went to Tokyo with my amazing friend Motomu on Wednesday night(because he was moving to Canada on Saturday),and I decided not to bring my guitar, because the whether was not so good and It's kind of heavy to carry around If I'm not going to use it...

So we went and had a great visit at his friends from Wednesday to Thursday, really nice kind funny cute creative people(they have acctually been to Norway). Me and Motomu hanged around Thursday and when he had an appointment at 18.00 I didn't really knew what to do or were to go, but then all of a sudden right there when we were saying good bye (maybe for a year), this musician friend in Tokyo sent me a messages and said that he was going to go to this "open mic" night in a café in Shibuya so if I was close by and had nothing to do, I could join him. And the funny thing was that I was actually in Shibuya too at that moment. I said bye to Motomu ,walked around in Shibuya while I was calling my friend Daisuke. We couldn’t really decide where to meet but ended up with deciding to meet at a Starbucks Coffee place. I went to cross the street and there was Motomu again right next to me, that I 10 min before had just said “See you maybe tomorrow or see you in one year” , I was so surprised because this is the most trafficked cross in the world, and at this time it’s crazy. And he had actually decided to meet his friend at that same Starbucks too, It was sooo crazy and funny.
But anyway, I met Daisuke and we went to this Open mike night at “Cozmos Café and Bar”.
And I was soooo happy because I just wanted to go to Tokyo just to sing in the first place, so here the opportunity was there. And the place had a guitar I could borrow. I sang two songs in the beginning and two songs in the end. And Daisuke and a lot of other people sang too. And the guy who is leading the “Open mike night ” is actually Christian. He and his wife live in Tokyo too.
I slept at my amazing an inspiering friend Mika and her wonderful familys house from Thursday till Friday and had a wonderful talk and breakfast with her Mother Friday morning.Met my amazing friend Motomu again for a couple of hours, laught drank Starbucks coffee...again, and said "Enjoy Canada and Matta ne(not Sayonara)" and took the bus back to Iwaki.
So well God is soooo amazing, funny and cool and he really knows how to cover my needs and make me happy and surprise my, I think.
