Preparing For Take Off

Yesterday I didn’t leave the house until 4 or 5 pm or bother to put on shoes. My reasoning... 1 to partake in the choosing of a time capsule vessel 2. Because If I’m gonna look like a bum, I’m giving it -%100.. so no shoes.

TIME CAPSULE YOU SAY. Yes. As I am leaving the land of Australia. This place I’ve come to know as home, specifically 4 Turnbull Ct, Brunswick West Melbourne Victoria, which will be demolished to make way for a more modern housing scheme.

*crowd booos*

So in ode to this precious property a time capsule has been the talk of the house. Mostly by me. But today Liam and I went to savers and scouted THE PERFECT vessel to encapsulate an expression or remnant from each house members time here.

Before that ...about 9am I woke up and just started packing and organising my bags. This weekend I am going to Brisbane to visit a friend who is there for school, than Wednesday I am off to JAPAN. Both I am very very excited for.

My friend is Brisbane is an elementary school  friend who I haven’t seen in a few years. Spending time in her house and hearing of her adventures thus far will be sooooo soooo amazing. Then back to the loft to do laundry, drink tea, say I love you to my mates and boom Japan.

Someone asked me do I know any Japanese.. and that’s when It struck me.. oh man I don’t and oh man I’m going to Japan and woah it’s a totally different culture to accustom myself to. Another friend who has been touching base with me during my travels asked/informed me about current events in Japan. This will be my first “long” period of time in a not western country by myself.... I might need to get a copy of Japanese for dummies just to be safe.

SO I spent the day I tying up a lot of loose ends. Oh also last week I was off work. Today and yesterday as well because of the holiday. So I utilised these last two full days of nothing, to get little things done. All the tasks that I’ve been writing on scraps of paper and forgetting about. I made jewels for all of my housemates. I packed my bags. Changed the bedding, hand washed some undies I’ll need until the end of the week.. this is the in between travels glamour  by the way.

I gave my loves their gifts and it filled the atmosphere with love. I was going to/should have waited until my last day here. But I just couldn’t. I love making things for people. I really try to channel their style and energy into a specific piece. When all that energy is bubbling in the palm of my hand I just can’t wait to give it to it's energy owner.

Now I start work again... just for 2 days.. it’s bitter sweet because I got a lot of things done ... Stress free.... But I also missed out on a lot of mula these past 7 working days.. The last things on my list are just to buy an Australian souvenir for my host family in Japan and some small grocery items to bring with me.

Bing bam book bang . It’s all a matter of flights, time and money now. Very daunting yet there’s a security because those things I can handle and have mind mapped into a schedule.

Last week was possible my best in Melbourne yet. Of course not without its final demise. In true fashion of my time here, after 6 days of goodness and fortune. Yesterday I was caught on the tram not paying to board. A fine was issued...buuuttttt I don’t think I’ll be here by the time it’s sent.

THINGS ARE MOVING FAST AND I AM ACTUALLY KEEPING UP. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

One love.  And  “Soreja matta”
