Love should be a positive force.
But the pain I feel on weekdays overwhelms the pleasure I feel at weekends. So I have nothing for it but to try to find another woman who can see me every night.

Harsh Summer

We are still in a good relatioship or probably both of us are pretending to be satisfied with one another. I undersatand she is very frustrated and she might notice I am frustrated too. This summer is for both of us very frustrating one.
Of course she keeps on being my love for the moment. At the same time I intend to try to find a girfriend near my residence. Usually we can't know when separation comes, and usually it comes when either of us find an alternative who is more suitable to one another. It's sad though we can manage.

Facing the end of this summer I'm not satisfied. Last summer I was in love with another woman and because she lives near my house I was able to see her every night.
We separated along with the end of summer but I assume both of us were completely satisfied. For us a couple of over forties, to be able to quench our thirsty well is the most important factor since we only love one another in our presence. When we were absence, we forget one another.
But this time I was forced to think of her because we were away.
At the end of this summer I was not satisfied. We weren't burnt out yet but we have to face another chapter. The season of infatuation ended. We will face a fruit of autumn.

Hi, Hitomi
Hi, Hitomi, nice to meet you and nice to talking to you.
Although I write my blog in English, I am Japanese. So I 'think' I know about Japan as well as you do.
But I must say I don't know much about Japan. Because I don't read Japanese newspaper, I don't watch Japanese TV.
How about you? Are you interested in Japan?

For Her Sake
I don't call her any more but I want her to know I keep on writing for her sake. That's the reason I've been posting many articles here in the Internet. I want her to notice but I'm not expecting her to call me. If she could know how I am, that's enough to me.

About My Legendary Woman
She and I were in the same high school. She was two years junior to me. We went to college at the same time. When we were fourth grade in college we had to choose what to do after we graduated. We both were supposed to go abroad -America to study at the graduate school. But she quit and I went abroad by myself.
Now she lives in Tokyo with another guy. We haven't seen one another since 1986 just before I flew to America. Roughly speaking, this is the story.
Happy Birthday To You

Hardship Never Cured
by mercedo (822671) * on 2006.08.24 1:44 (#15963481) (http://mercedo-comments.blogspot.com/ Last Journal: 2006.08.22 2:50)
Only because I wanted to see her everyday I tried to move to her town. But now I realised there are many negative aspects as well. She won't see me any more even if I moved to her town. Because it is her who wants to move to.
I am not totally sure I can keep on loving her while we are away. Of course I will keep on doing so for some months.
At the same time it's true that love is fragile and I love myself more than her. If this hardship is about to overwhelm my identity I have nothing for it but to reconsider our situation. Some love brings more hardship than pleasure. This time is the case.

The notion 'love' is made between 'I love myself' and 'I love her'. As long as the state 'I love her' increases the state 'I love myself', love is eligible to exist. Otherwise love is impossible.

From age 27 in my country I was a teacher in a clam school. I was teaching students whose age is 15. Two yeara later at age 29 I quit my job and travelled to Ireland.
Four months later I came back from a country Ireland - once I dreamt that I can keep on staying. I intended to have gotten a job there. Only found it hard to do so.
Again back in my country it was not difficult to get a teaching job at all, I started teaching students whose age is 18 in a preliminary school.
But I found it very difficult to keep on working in a school. I resigned many schools again and again and again. I'm sure I got a far broader view than before. Before 30 I was so particular about only teaching job, but since then I've been challenging many jobs that are completely different from teaching. This is not a matter of good or bad. Now I know life is a choice as such.

There're No Options
by mercedo (822671) * on 2006.08.23 13:05 (#15960257) (http://mercedo-comments.blogspot.com/ Last Journal: 2006.08.22 2:50)
To tell the truth I am not sure whether I was lucky. My previous love - a woman from Africa didn't live in my city, so I had to ride a car or get on a train to see her and we were unable to see one another whenever we want. Now she's gone, she hasn't working in primary school in Japan. We had no many oppotunities to know one another only because of the geographical distance we had.
See this time too. Once in a week we can see, but it's only so limited to know about one another. We see at 21 pm on Saturday and leave 19 pm on Sunday. Usually we stay about less than 24 hours in a week.
As I stated I proposed her that I can move to her town and work and live but she declines my proposal saying she has already made up her mind to quitting her job and move to my town, if I moved to her town now she feels she needs to keep on working in her town that eventually deter her dicision (to leave her town). That is what I've never thought of. All I have to do is endure our situation right now and wait for her coming in the near future.
If I don't like it, I choose option 1, but at the same time I need to realise there's no couple which is perfectly matches mutual demands. We need to sacrifice to achieve something that is unattainable only by oneself.

Their Nature
I was out of the reach of PC since my love doesn't have a computer. Except for the young, PCs are still unfamiliar to older people. I'm afraid here in Japan there has been expanding the digital devide between haves and have-nots. And probably you are amazed to see how the system of Japan society is prehistoric. They don't classify things in general. That's what I cannot follow their way.
Rule Of Success
I've been writing about you in many occasions and one of my fans responded to me for the first time, probably some voted for you after they saw my articles.
This is a small stream and it's almost ignorable, but I can tell from my past experience that the goddess of success only smiles to those who never give up for ever. I was one of such people.

In two reasons.
For most of the Japanese still blogging is unfamiliar. Now many young people use PCs in many ways other than blogging. And another reason is of course they have no command of English language. For them English keeps on being seen as a meaningless matrix of some kind.
So it remains to be 'secret'(?)

At Age 45 III
Scent Of Autumn
I love this season. Hot days never contines after around the middle of August. We can feel the scent of autumn already.
See you soon.
How Responsible She Is
Oh, did you play the guitar in the presence of others on the street? Or probably you were playing the impressive tune of Chopin at a bar in town? Whichever you were, you were a musician, weren't you?
I stumbled upon her in MySpace music. I befriended her because I was moved from her strong power of will, that was filled with her face. After I befriended, I received her personal mail soon in which she wanted to know the reason I befriended her. I explained precisely then our friendship started. Every time I am amazed too see how she is 'responsible' to all the comments and mails I made to her. As I mentioned above, this is the most important human factor 'to be famous'.
I am sure she will succeed. I just want to help her a little bit.

I met her for the first time on the 24th of April in a seminor or workshop held by our company. So both she and I are working in the same company, but the location of our workplace is completely different. She works in Kokura and I in Fukuoka. This is similar to the relationship of Baltimore and Washington.D.C. in distance. We live in a different city but adjancent, so not difficult to see once in a week but difficult in everyday.
So we are complaining about our distance in location, not in love. We love one another from the bottom of our hearts.

By the way...if we had a chance to see one another in future, you want me to come to The Philipines? or you are ready to visit Japan?
To tell the truth, I am looking for a perpetual relationship with a woman who's well versed in English. This is first and foremost important, because communication is a key to better understanding. I don't like to use Japanese language anymore. Besides you are young and pretty, attractive, and above all of things, you are intelligent. I am an extremely intelligent person everybody admits. So I like an intelligent woman.
Are you interested in me more than in on-line? Tell me honestly, please...

Logical Langage
I admire BBC English first and foremost. I learned English basically by trying to learn by heart Oxford English Dictionaries. English has been for me a completely logical language, I don't have a particular feeling colonial people might have had towards their former ruler. Basically I prefer keep on using Oxford Learners Dictionaries, and sometimes I need to look up more examples how the words or ideoms are used, so I am adding my collection of dictionaries.
If you were an English, you keep on recommending using English dictionaries like Oxford's. Probably you are Welsh who slightly have a complicated feeling towards English people.

She has been telling me that she is in deepest love with me and I myself feel I am insanely in love with her as if I were just out of my mind. So when all the obstacles that prevent us from seeing one another is just a distance, our love burns intensely. Here is her picture, just take a look.

Unlike every night habit, I fell asleep soon after midnight and got up very early in the morning, actually it was 6 a.m. (Usually I tend to sit up late until at least 4 o'clock) I feel refreshed in the morning air, sunshine, loud chants by cicadas.
