Offamæ...for ei uke..

Off for et styr, litt av ei uke dette har vært...off, er sliten og lei og irritert, frustrert og ja jeg vett ikke hva...Be folkens!! Lighthouse er i fare...
Ja saken er den atte vi har fått så mye klager at nå, ja nå er det på nippen til at vi må flytte(selv om jeg ikke tror det vil skje)...egentlig har vi ikke gjort noe galt, tror det bare ligger mye i misunnelse og redsel hos de som har en restaurant under oss,de føler seg truet og ønsker oss vekk!... uansett, de klager på alt, og ringer huseier og sliter han ut med klager, så han er drittlei...vi går på tåheler..prøver å gjøre alt vi kan for å blidgjøre dem... bygge tillit osv osv...men vi henger i en tynn tråd.
Skulle leie utleierommet ut til noen dansere igår, og gledet oss masse over at plassen skulle bli brukt til noe kreativt som det, hadde en fin avtale og ja de skulle komme....vips kom dette enorme problemet opp og vi fikk ikke lov å leie ut det rommet til dans, så vi måtte ringe og beklage og avlyse...off det var som et slag i magen...vi er alle litt oppgitte og triste for tida pga dette..er det ikke typisk. Når noe bra som Lighthouse, et sted fyldt av håp og rom for kreativitet, et sted hvor folk kan få være seg selv...et lyspunkt i mørket...når noe sånn blir til , så ja selvfølgelig får vi motgang...ja dere vet hva jeg mener...

Her en dag i forrige uke fikk jeg høre at det var en middelaldrene mann som hadde tatt selvmord, han hadde hoppet fra Saty(kjøpesenteret rett ved siden av der jeg bor)...da jeg fikk høre det så begynte tårene mine å trille...jeg ble sååå lei meg for at han hadde gitt opp livet, jeg vet ikke hvem han var, men han var japaner og jeg bryr meg så syyykt om dette folkeslaget her. En kamerat at meg la til..."Japan er blitt sykere og sykere, folk er rike, men fattige i hjertet"...
Og jeg begynte å gråte mer....
Jeg ønsker at Lighthouse skal være fyldt av HÅP og ekte kjærlighet og glede!!
Ofte vil jeg bare blåse i hele dette fantastisk landet her, dra hjem til lette Norge hvor jeg har masse gode venner og trygge omgivelser, men så blir jeg minnet på at det er så mange som bare har gitt opp Japan...men Japan trenger Håpog ekte glede...jeg kan ikke bare snu ryggen til,
...off, idag dro jeg til havet...tok med meg gitaren og biblene, godt å bare sitte der..I Guds fred..
..hmm..har ikke mer ord nå. så jeg ja...mm.

1 opening event and soccer

Okidoki. we had the first opening event, many people played, including me..about 50 people stopped by and we sold alot of coffee. Nice time.
Next week I´m gonna be a part of a soccer team, futsal turnment. So we had a nice practise with this amazing people. Had soo fun. And that wonderful girl there on the picture is Vanessa, she is from new zealand and I am sooo thankful that she has become my friend:)

By the way, on my way to this 1 event we had..I was in a hurry, dressed in a white dress, with a backsakk and my guitar on my shoulder skating towards my work from my house...was really late, so I skated on my skateboard as quick as I could....and then...then the police came drowing by....stoped and went out of the car 1, 2 no 3 policmen ...waiting for me to cross the street,,I was waiting for green light...This is the conversation..
Police:Do you have a little time? Is japanese ok?
Nina:Not really I´m alittle late for work...well I have alittle time. Yes, japanese is alittle ok... (It was the police, what could i say)
Police: You know, this street is for walking people, it´s not allowed to skate here on the skateboard..
Nina: What about bicycle?
Police: Yes, bicylce is ok..Skateboard is dangerous..
Nina:But this is like my bicycle, I have more controle on this thing then on a bike, and when I go to work I always quit late, so I have to drive with someone home, and cant`t bring the bike in the car, but I can bring the skateboard. If I use my bike to work, I have to leave it there and then walk the next day..
Police: Hmm..we understand but it`s a rule, no skating in the street...but you can skate in a skatepark..
Nina:But this skateboard is not made for skatepark, it`s silent quick weels that doesn`t bother other people . And of cause , It there is many people in the street I show respect and don`t skate...Please...what can I do from now on??I can`t skate anywhere on the streets? (and my face turne into the sadest face ever...and they saw it...)
Police: No , sorry...we know ..we understand...sorry..but it`s a rule
Nina: ok, but maybe you can try to change the rule???
Police:we?...No, sorry I don`t think we can do that...
Nina: ok, (sad sad sad..almost tears in my eyes)...bye...

(I guess we talked for about 15-20 min...I tried soo hard to find a little gap to make it possible to skate,but with no luck...I wish I just pretended like I didn`t understand japanese...and from now on I can`t skate anymore...because if they stop me again..it`s not so easy to forget a forigner blond girl skatebording with a white dress and a guitar on her back....and now they`ve told me it`s not allowed, so now I can`t break the rule, now that they told me...IT`S SOOOOO SAD!!!)
