Jeepney Press 2011 March-April Issue Page 22




Short-Cuts
By Farah Trofeo-Ishizawa

First Cut
How are all our Jeepney Press readers? ‘Hope you did not catch a cold nor that terrible influenza.

Second Cut
How did you spend your Valentine’s Day? Did you do it the Japanese way or “our” traditional way? Whichever, I hope you had a wonderful celebration with your special someone or your family.

Third Cut
Before we know it, spring will come – then Golden Week… What are your plans? Going home for the holidays?

Fourth Cut
Now, let me ask you, where is “home” for you? Most of us have been living here in Japan for years, right? Some of us like it here, and some just to have to be here. What is it for you?

Fifth Cut
Why are you here in Japan? Are you happy here in Japan?

Sixth Cut
Personally, I love being here in Japan. I came here to study the language and am living here longer than I expected. But I am very happy with my life here because I love my work and, of course, my husband is Japanese.

Seventh Cut
I just hope that everyone is happy here. After all, your happiness depends on you. It is your attitude in life – how you deal with circumstances, how you carry yourself – and how you interact with the people around you.

Eighth Cut
Your happiness has nothing to do with whether you fit in a certain culture or their traditions or can blend with the people, everything again- depends on you…and your choices.

One more important factor if not the most important – is how you talk to your “God.” Your relationship with God will make the difference in your life.

IF in anyway, you do not like it here in Japan or wherever you are, the only solution for your happiness is maybe to go home to the Philippines. It is just a suggestion, ok?

Feel good with everything and everyone around us.

God Bless – Mama Mary loves us !
