First Page

Tjena!

So this is actually the first time making blog myself. 
I used to write my diary when I was in Sweden  and was publishing for students who are interested in studying abroad from Japan, but never since that time.

"Tjena" means a lot for me...
It used to be the first word to start everyday when I was in Sweden - Swedish greetings "Hi"
It also helped me a lot to make friends/get to know people in such a new environment where everything was unfamiliar to me as I was only 15 at that time...



Almost 5 years have passed since that time, and I have started the new journey - studying in U.S. as a college student -. I was not imagining that I am actually going reach here...it was a big dream for me since I was young... However! for some reason I feel like some part of me already knew that my dream is going to become true!

Performed Japanese Calligraphy at art museium at age 15

The journey until here was not that easy for me. 
Things were sometimes hard to get though, but drawing Japanese Calligraphy helped me, made me creative...


For me, drawing Japanese Calligraphy is not only releasing the stress, but creating the atmosphere that only I can create, and every works I made are going to be special for me.

My 2nd year at University has started and now... moving on to the 2nd term.
Every time, everything, every moment is challenging for me, but I just cannot wait to face something new :)
