Tokyo 101

my days in tokyo have been great. its been about four days but i already feel like ive been here much longer. the thing about me is that wherever i am, i can convince myself to like the city so much as to even consider working and living. but now i am simply enjoying this free time. i am never bored. i call it carefree. so when i felt carefree at 3pm today, i decided to change to my new pair of jeans pants leggings (its really not that complicated), matched it with my complimentary orange shirt and carried my rather hot pink messenger bag and rode aimlessly around the neighborhood with my brother's bicycle listening to my ipod. caught myself in a middle of a parade, had no idea what was going on but snapped a picture of the scene regardless. suddenly felt motivated to cook so went around searching for cheap fresh veggies and unfortunately some meat due to satisfy my brother's cravings as well. made some curry using a saucepan, watched some hilarious japanese shows and at midnight decided to go for a walk with my dear brother talking about some funny incident that happened at his workplace. only our laughter echoed through the dark empty streets. eventually stopped by a convenience store, bought some drinks and walked back home.

did i plan the day? no. did i expect to do all this today? no. did i have fun? yes. i wake up only to hope that when i go to sleep i am satisfied for that day. there's no point worrying about tomorrow. that is something you can worry about when you wake up. though in my case, all that worry is usually gone by the time i wake up from a good night sleep. and i sleep like a rock... 

lunch: earl grey tea flavored bread + veggies

simple but good

feeding my brother before he heads for work. what a nice sister... 

steps involved in making curry: PUT LOTS OF VEGGIES (can you spot how many kind?)

let the veggies simmer in soup water
