It's Official NOW-Toronto, here I come!

I purchased a flight ticket from Tokyo Narita to Toronto today! So now it is official that I am leaving Japan to return to my second home country, Canada (Toronto) on June 20th (and arriving on the same date).

So this means I will need to find a place to live. LOL

Bleh, do you know anyone who may have a cozy place for rent? If so, please email me at kumi@soulmanifesto.net

I am not super picky where to live as long as it is closed to TTC.

Anyhow, I have found a new addiction recently: sewing!

I have been sewing and trying to put together pieces of texitiles into something that we call: clothing. I like the process of putting some creative ideas into a 3-D piece (putting a life into my internal ideas).

So I started this process from the drawing of the pattern, cutting off the paper and placing it on a texitle, cutting the texitile and then sewing the pieces together. Then I would frequently place the sewed pieces on me and seeing on the mirror checking how it will look when its completed.

It's quite fun actually, and although I get frustrated sometime, the magic of making things is wonderful :) Right, I am making excuses not to spend time preparing myself for my return to Canada. LOL

Well, I have no way back now, since I purchased the ticket as of today. I shall get into the business. Rock'n Roll, baby. Here I come :)

Moon

While giving water to my grandma's plants early evening tonite, an excess amount of water spilled from the pots creating this puddle on the porch. and there I saw a reflection of moon on the puddle, and it was so beautiful and soothing to my soul.

I love the moon. I like how the moon emits intimate energy, sometime very mysterius and yet comforting to my eyes. I believe greatly on the effect that the moon clycle has on women's system and moods. I have heard something like below in numerious female related books in the past:


"Human beings are affected by the moon. Women especially are affected by the moon and their menstrual cycle is intimately linked to this celestial body. ... The moon regulates your menstrual cycle; * can trigger ovulation and fertile times; affects your emotions and affects the way people
behave and view the world. Women are connected to the moon by our blood, our hormones and our souls".

Over the past 5 years or so, whenever I see the full moon over the sky, I always gained this feeling that my potential was also reaching to its max, and felt as if I could freely live my life fulfilling my own personal idealism thru actions and be ultimately true to my self. It's also true how many of remarkable events in my life was taken on the full moon days.

According to the moon calender, we will have the full moon on May 23rd, one more week from today. I wonder what kind of mind set I will achieve by then. It will be interesting to track my mood change for a week, so I will plan on updating my inner most true feelings on May 23rd. :)
