I know what you're thinking: "Dangit Hitomi, AGAIN?!" OK, some of you may remember that I was active for about a year on my previous blog using the website, WIX. After a while, WIX was starting to get a little difficult and the ads were driving me crazy (including some personal reasons) so I asked people what kind of other blogging site would be best and I came BACK here. Believe it or not, I've had this blog since January of 2011! I remember I wanted to open up a blog during my college years just so I could write down my thoughts and share it to people who may relate to them. I ended up only doing it for a short time, but I'm back and it's good to be back yet again. I'm trying so hard here to not easily give up on blogging again. I've honestly been doing a lot of thinking and debating. I really really REALLY wanted to go back to making YouTube videos again, but it takes so much time to edit and it will get jumbled up with my busy schedule. Also I need to know that I'm not going to give up on it again when there's a strong chance that I will when I'm constantly going through so many drastic changes in my life. Plan B was this; posting blogs again. I feel that it's easier without having to feel pressured. I feel like making videos made me rush and push myself into having to film all the time and staying up 5 in the morning to put everything together (even when there was a chance not even a single person was watching). As for a blog, I can take my time and post whenever I'd like to at my own pace. I feel I don't have to please everyone, which isn't my focus, but with YouTube, I feel I have to keep not myself, but people watching entertained. Who knows! Maybe when I get settled and know where my schedule is at within the next year or so, I could be filming again, but I know for sure I can't at this time.
I thought it was around the right time to open this baby back up since it was just my birthday (Oct. 2nd). This may sound silly, but I'm an English teacher in Japan and though I teach English and try to speak English to my students, I speak Japanese 90% of the time. And because of that I feel I'm slowly forgetting my English, which is so sad! But that is why I try to watch shows in English and keep contact with my friends by speaking and sending messages in English and I thought doing a blog will also help me not forget as well. Though at times you may see me put some Japanese in my posts. I don't have a set schedule as to when I do post a blog, it'll come randomly.
I don't really know what else to say...just wanted to start this off as a reopening to a new blog and here it is. Here's to another journey!
皆さん, 今日からよろしくお願いします。
一緒に頑張りましょう！
