Oh my/our goodness...!

Today i feel like posting in english, yet this blog doesnt target english speakers so its not gonna be english all the time... just for a change, so those folks that dont get what i write today, plz dont give up on this blog and come back again! Those guys that know english and also those that know me, dont even try to spot my typo or grammatical error etc... cheers, lol

Englishs a useful language when talking about things directly, so i get straight to the point. In japanese writing, i think how i should get across my messages without my dear readers misunderstanding the point. I do think in english writing as well but not as much. Its interesting my foreign friends, even though they speak good japanese, they speak to each other in english which i dont think is as good as their japanese. I guess its cuz english conveys their thoughts staraight, whereas japanese may not be the language that is the most suitable for this purpose for them. Some say japanese is ambiguous by its very nature. Maybe, but i dont agree cuz it depends on the person and his style of writing, and japanese vocab is rich, too rich, so unless carefully used it can cause such ambiguity. Me preferring writing straight in english means my japanese is yet to be good or what?

BTW, ive been doing a lot of thinking, why is that? There was a drastic change at our workplace. Its not a positive one though... in a way its devastating. This guy that we had for the past several months disappeared, all of a sudden. The only thing i (and the other colleague didnt get) got was those short text messages from his cheap gadget, his mobile. To be honest i had sensed it but never expected it to happen this way at all. Judging people by appearance isnt always correct and misleading also, but in retrospect i shouldve been more strategic than i actually was.

This irresponsible guy aside, or rather looking back, i thought about one thing. I do some petty business with people abroad, those guys that are trustworthy and reliable, one of whom i never met! Yet still, we do alright, even when money is involved. Theyre men of few words. I recall the guy often talked about trust, mutual understanding etc, all this rubbish not practised in the end...

Ive, like everybody else, been through my own series of surprises that made me feel warm inside, sad, betrayed, cheated, grateful etc... and this time round i encountered this yet another betrayal. Even so, i still havent lost hope, thank goodness. Humans in my view are never born evil... its the social environment, it moulds the goodness.
