yesterday, as with all days which include a beauty treatment shopping spree, it took me no less than 30 MINUTES to find a NON-WHITENING FACE MOISTURE. holy shit japan, does EVERY face lotion have to include some kind of bleach?! gross!
my insanely rich student, soon-to-be-divorcee of her almost-murderer-husband, was obviously gobbling down some pills in front of me the other week as if to make me ask "oh Yoko, what are those for...?" (and of course, i did). her response? "they're for my skin. they're whitening pills." which i thought was ironic because that same day our lesson consisted of discussing the recent death of Michael Jackson and she asked me "why did he not want to be black?"
LIFE IS A COMEDY FOR EVER AND EVER.
that is all.
in other news, my skin continues to slowly melt away in this tropical heat wave.

Firs,t I want to say that the pictures you've been taking of Japan are really breathtaking.They give such an exciting and diverse view of your experiences there. Thanks for sharing!
On another note, isn't interesting that we all seem to share a similar problem in wanting to be someone else, something different, someone new? I know I'm guilty of it, too. I wish I were tanner, slimmer, more stylish. We strive our whole lives to be smarter, prettier, funnier, faster and wittier and in the end we're just who we are. For better or for worse. We face the same struggle: to change. Change seems so romantic, so much so that we can't understand why someone else would want to change. Others' lives, looks, friends, work, etc. always seem so much more appealing than ours that we couldn't imagine them wanting to be anyone else. I do think that we must always move, think, feel and thus we will grow, progress and learn, but wouldn't it be best to channel those qualities into something positive like traveling, art, language, socializing, creating rather than things like personal aesthetics. It's a dilemma that's seems to not have changed for ages.
Hey! Sorry, girl (and to others reading)...I unintentionally posted that last comment under Jason's name. The perspective changes a lot when you know who wrote it, huh? Sorry again, I'm a bad blogger.

Michelle,
Thank you for the kind words. Everything you say, I completely agree with. I cannot wait to see you! My brain is melted a bit, otherwise I would say more...tomorrow I'm taking a trip across Japan so there will be much more pictures!
With love!
