Fumes over text

A few days ago, a visitor at home was proudly relating his daughter's stint in joining the Indian Government after clearing some entrance exams and was prodding April to do the same no matter how much she was politely declining his suggestions for it.

Today, after what her muse wrote to her about the entrance exam and interview for the MEXT Research Scholarship 2016 handled by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development, India, April is determined to give back a stiff and stern comment right at those who prod her to enter the Government of India through a "good" post.

No offense intended, but I want to work for an organization that at least conducts interviews and written tests for another country's scholarship in a fair method.

A wordy week

This week, April is going to throw herself into translation; she is going to finish the pending voluntary translation projects for an anime series and a manga chapter.

It has been quite a while since she worked on either, and is quite nervous to get back to translating. Yes, it is a little weird why she should even get cold feet given that translation is one of her passions. But that is quite normal, too--one cannot help but feel quite out of place to get into one's lover's arms after having not met for a long time.

Getting back to translation is going to give April similar feels. 

目標はありますが行動はちょっと。。。

ここ最近、私は怠惰になってしまいましたと思います。お時間は十分ありますがそれをちゃんと利用していませんです。なぜだと聞いたら答えが出ません。どうしてだと？恥ずかしいんだからです。

『今日はこの仕事を絶対に終わりにしたい！』と必死に思われますが、それをやっとしません。その仕事を始めてからも途中で止めてしまいます。

どうしてこんな状況になってるんでしょう。。。困るウウウウ～！

頑張らないと！

"I'm female, I'm sixteen and no I don't like pink. I am outspoken, I don't give a damn to how people bat their eyelashes when they think what I do is weird. I just give a finger and I'll be done with it. I am into anything and everything that has to do with Japan. I'm glad that I am out of that phase now: though I'm one of the admins of the Bangalore Anime Club. I draw anime as that's the only thing that inspires me with. I write what I feel as I believe that a true writer is someone who writes only for the sake of pure, unadulterated writing. I relish in the thought that I feel much better when I write away whatever that is there within my bosom: feels like a good night's sleep. I am more super normal than all those crazy teenagers out there who are purely driven by their hormonal rages and self-indulgent pleasures; I deserve a parole, man! I used to play the violin: I use the past tense as I'm currently on hiatus with the instrument. I was supposed to write more here, but I'm not going to do that now. You can feel free to contact me if you want to anything more. "

TL practice for tomorrow's exam.

すっきりと気持ちよく晴れ渡った日曜日。湖沿いに整備された遊歩道には、ジョギングやウォーキングをしたり、サイクリングや犬の散歩を楽しんだりする、休日の朝らしいのどかな風景が広がっていました。湖畔には、簡素な屋根と柱だけのナチュラルでおしゃれなカフェがぽつぽつと建ち、きらきら輝く湖面を眺めながら、コーヒーを飲んでくつろいでいる人もいます。湿度の低いからりとした空気は軽く、水上からそよそよ吹く風が肌に心地いい……。

:

"It is/was a neat and a pleasant cloudless/clear Sunday. Along the lake, in the pathway that was maintained/had been developed, a holiday morning-like picturesque landscape was spread about by (people) who were enjoying by jogging, walking, cycling or walking the dog. At the lake's shore, there is a natural (looking) yet fashionable cafe that was built bit by bit by only a simple roof and pillars, with a sparkly view of the lake surface, where there were also people who were relaxing by drinking coffee. With the low humid and clear atmosphere being light, the soft wind from the water/headwater blowing feels so pleasant on the skin..."

Thought of the morning.

自分の足を引っ張るのは自分のおろかな行動です

To the Hana Yori Dango lady.

This morning, the lady who sat next to April in the bus noticed April studying Japanese for today's final exam. She wasted no time in asking April what language that was, whether it was easy, if there was demand for it in the industry, whether April found it easy among the general questions one would ask about a new foreign language.

And after all this, she says she knows a little Korean because she watches Korean dramas to the point of exhausting her data package and spending a little fortune on it! She said Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) was her most favorite. Too bad that she had to alight right after she said that or we could have bonded more. April knows not her name. Like wow! Sometimes, ones can't help but wonder about how such a small world it really is!
