Nothing much, but talking to a friend who returned to Japan

I didn’t do that much today. I was planning to see my friend from San Diego, but it wasn’t possible. So I called her up and talked on the phone. The conversation lasted about 2.5 hours, and in Japan the person initiating the call has to pay the bill. Since I called and I pay the lowest plan, I really got nailed. That one call costs me 5440 yen, which is about $54 USD. But I think it was well worth it. I believe it was well worth it, since I haven’t talked to her in AGES. And I mean AGES. I thought that she had fallen off the face of the planet or something because she wouldn’t respond to any of my messages or e-mails. Then one day she did and told me that she was coming back to Japan and wanted to see me. I wanted to see how she was doing too, but then she had to pick this week to come back and when I was incredibly busy. So unfortunately we weren’t able to see each other. So I just chilled at home realizing many things in my life during that conversation. I mean since I hadn’t talked to her in a long time, I was glad to hear from her. I found out many things about her that I didn’t know about and it was good to finally hear it.

This was during the afternoon time we talked up until she needed to board the airplane. She didn’t want to get off the phone because she was bored. After the conversation I went to make something to eat and decided that I wanted to watch a movie. Today’s choice was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Since I don’t have the original DVD, I only have a LEGAL copy of it which was dubbed in English. I thought it was weird to watch it that way since I really like the Chinese version very much. It’s still an enchanting story, and made me realize many things in my life too. I look at things differently again and I want to be able to get back to my focus and start on achieving my goals again. It was beginning to get cold again after I finished watching. I love to movie and it’s great. I remember the first time that I saw the movie with my family from Australia. It was ok then, but then when I saw it again, I really got into it.
