Shed some light...some hope and some faith

- Fate is decided by God but destiny is the path you choose to get there -

Aniticipation, luck and maybe faith...well since Momo's departure, my obsession with Japanese have developed into a final stage tumor. This desperation have driven me to surpass my own cerebral concentration that seeks to find the optimum remedy.

Sending out tons and tons of emails to various schools on the net to land myself a job in Japan. Gloom from the start but the goal was clear...so had a couple of replies but mostly were negative. And then got 2 positive ones and I got in touch with one of them. This one looks promising yet I am not putting my last dollar on it...always expect the unexpected. Had a conversation with someone via phone last week and she was pretty surprised at my accent and my command of the language. Found out that outta 100+ applicants who applied for the job, I was 1 of the 10 shortlisted candidates.

Well, she claimed she liked my attitude and stuffs and she said she would strongly recommend me...*wink* tat's a consolation I'd guess. So haven't got any reply from her since I wired her my university's result. Got pretty paranoid so sent her a email on Monday and well, was almost gonna call her today but she replied today with these excerpts,

"We are still thinking ALT final decision.
I recomend you very much, but just two Japanese teachers hope someone has English teaching experience over one year.
Can you wait for a littlebit more?
I am sure I can tell you the result soon.
How much can you understand Japanese?
And Do you think if you teach at both of the Junior high and elementary school, is it all right?
The elementary school which this ALT teacher goes, is resistered as a model English School this time.
So it is very important work.
Maybe I will ask you to call me again soon."

Now not to get all my hopes high, but that's simply a glimmer of hope to my otherwise "GTO" wannabe dreams. Ha..WHOOOOOOOOO...way to go!!!!

Another reason for being rather paranoid is that I have to confirm the airline tixs for my scheduled Japan Backpacking Tour (JPT) in Dec. Initially was gonna get everything settled with Jireh but he's back in Aussie. Since he's equally as earnest as me to visit "Paradise" Japan, I fell obligated to resolve all issues before he comes back here in Nov. Well, he's like really in to this tour thingy and I have to fail him not.

God's workings probably be weaving magic for me if all goes smooth. This morning was greeted by a heavy downpour which drenched my rain jacket, my pants and my bag. I have never felt better. SOAKED on the outside, yet warmth embraced my heart and my love for the rain's even more now. Was freezing my ass wrapped in drenched pants working from morning till noon and I say I haven't felt better in years. GOD I LOVE RAINY DAYS!

Seriously it's like the first time the rain soaked my rain jacket. Had a nice pair of Timberlands from Japan to keep my feet dry and the Carhartt jac to keep my shirts dry. Now it's just missing out on the pants part so would probably invest in a pair of Burton's snowboarding pants (Thighs warmers included!).

So here's the inconsistent rants...fun in the rain, pun in the sun!
