One class in the morning, and went out to meet Chisa-san after lunch. Today I’m going to buy sneakers at Oriental Shoes.
Before going there, we met up at Araki and had a tea time (lunch time for Chisa-san). Then I had a great time trying sneakers, having coffee and cookies and chatting thanks to Chisa-san and her brother, who is the head of the company, and their staff. Beside sneakers, I also got some chips and coke, which uses koji instead of sugar. They even got me some discount, which I really appreciate! The changing sky with setting sun on the way home was very beautiful and the playlist Jesse gave me made the drive even better.
Even though I’m still impressed by those songs he selected, I don’t know we’ll ever communicate again haha. His response has gotten slower, which is because he seemed to have gotten busier and also in the first place it felt like it would be hard to keep texting like that, so it’s reasonable, and he said he would love to video chat in the last text, but it’s been two days since, so part of me has given up expecting any progress. Still, his playlist is so good that it would be a shame if we lost touch like this (the playlist is not the only reason, fyi). Well, we’ll see. It’s natural to expect his reply and I won’t push that feeling down, but I’ll let it flow and just enjoy moment to moment every day.
Buying things or going to places quite on impulse, but they’re those things that have been on the list for a long time, or something I feel excited about, so it rather feel very good.
One of other sad things is that I accidentally cancelled U-Next before the end of my free trial term. I thought I would be able to keep watching until the term ends even though I cancelled it! But it turned out the season 3 of The White Lotus releases one episode a week, so I wouldn’t be able to watch it all anyway. Maybe I’ll subscribe just one month after the all episodes are released. Its monthly fee is quite expensive.
