Golden Week Holiday
In Japan, we have national consecutive holidays called "Golden Week" at the beginning of May. The golden week is almost over...how did you spend this year?I was thinking to go back to my hometown to spend my time with my family at first, but I got some plans with my friends, so I decided to stay here in Tokyo and go back to my hometown during my next vacation.
Friday night, May 2nd: I did "all" with my team members of the office.
After work, we held a first farewell party for our boss who is going to leave the company. (Her last day is the end of May, so we will hold the parties for her more ;-) ) We went to the restaurant at first. After spending a few hours at the restaurant, we decided to go to the KARAOKE! Since the members are much older than me like in their 30s and 40s, I first wondered if I should sing the songs which became popular in their young age. But I did not have to at all! They knew recent songs and pops much more than me!! We sang many songs together and danced to the music. It was a lot of fun. Some people went back home, but several people stayed in the KARAOKE till 3 am, including the boss of course! We got exhausted, so we left the KARAOKE to go back home . But the only our boss went back home and the others decided to stay in the KARAOKE till the first train comes. A few people were sleeping and the others sang slow songs like ballad. (too tired to sing fast-speed songs.)
I had not done the "all" for long, but I still had such energy to stay all night. It was fun, but I cannot do that so many times. once a year is enough!
Sat, May 3rd: I met up with my friend.
I just slept 4 hours after the long night, and went to see my friend who used to work in the same company. We updated each other. We are like-minded, so we can understand each situation of our job and romance. We were relaxed at the nice cafe and chatting. She has been considering her career like me (I changed my job last Nov.), so I really hope she can get the right job and position for her. no more stresses... We spend lots of time on the job, you know? It would be nice if we can say "I love my job.", I think.
Sun, May 4th: I hanged out with my university mates.
One of us were coming back to Tokyo from Osaka during this holiday, so we decided to get together. We had a brunch and went to Odaiba by water-bus, which was nice. Then we took a Big Wheel. You can imagine there were so many people in Odaiba! Anyway, we had a dinner together at an oyster bar...
After going back home, I started having a stomachache and felt sick from around 11 pm. Maybe I got food poisoning from the oyster I ate. I could not sleep and started shaking. I was wondering if I should go to the hospital or not. I could not judge what to do and I just called my mom. It was hard to talk at the time... then I decided to go to an emergency hospital but did not know where it was. So, I called 119 (fire station) and asked some hospitals which could see my condition. My arms were shaking as well when I was taking the phone numbers and addresses. It was around 2:30 am when I arrived at hospital by taxi. I could not walk and was almost faint. I got an both intravenous drip and anti-nausea drug injection and took some hours rest at the hospital. I finally recovered from the food poisoning. God, it was a long night...
Mon, May 5th: I was going to see my friend, but he was having a headache, so we decided to take a good rest each other. I already got better though. I watched DVD, took a nap, called my family to tell them I was ok from the food poisoning. It was a relaxing day.
Tue, May 6th: I had a dance lesson.
I had been learning ballroom dance. Today, I learned Rumba and Cha Cha Cha. It was a lot of fun!!! I feel so good after dancing ;-)
After the lesson, I had a chat with one senior lady who also had a lesson. She told me she used to have incurable disease for 10 years. She could not walk and even write at the time. Her doctor told her she would live at most 10 years. She was in a hospital but wanted to dance. One day, she ran away from the hospital, and started to take dance lessons. But you know what? Now she can work and dance! It is miracle. She looks healty. She seems she feels to live. The power of human being sometime defeats medical science. I thought I learned something from her.
She also said to me, "Find the soulmate who can dance or understand dancing world. A couple who dances together looks lovely and their relationship goes well." That might be true!
