I’ve continued working for Bento Graphics today.
My hiring manager from Apple told me today, after weeks of silence, that I’m not the right fit for the company. These rejections hurt me, they make me doubt of what I am capable to achieve. Friends tell me that working for a big company like Google or Apple is just like being inside a golden cage. But I want to be where I can grow the most and I don’t know where to go.
A beautiful sunrise this morning. Worth getting up early just for this. I'm also really enjoying studying Japanese. Would love for these days to last longer.
I don’t know when I started thinking that the path to my happiness was money and fame. Relationships, meaningful friendships, a life filled with people that is my path to happiness. That’s what I should focus on. To live for the ones I love.
We went to JBS. I can never forget what a dude said when he met me, Jonathan and Cory:
Look at you three: One wearing a cap, the other has a huge beard, another pair of frame eye glasses. If you were fucking, you’d be Brooklyn.
Clearly a New Yorker.
This is the beautiful duo behind Bento Graphics: Mr. Benjamin Thomas and Mr. Julien Wulff. They took me to the Narukyo Izakaya, where we took this photo, and to the trendy Red Bar.
This is the entrance to ISI, my language school. As usual, I studied in the morning, went to school 5 minutes the class starts and had 4 more classes. First class is kanji, second class is homework review, third class is speaking and fourth class is writing.
Honey is coming back to Tokyo in April.
Chapter 10: Directions. We learnt how to refer to a location of things. Like a book on top of a table. A cat on a tree. A postbox in front of a building. A shop next to another shop, or next to a garden, or in between.
