Back in the netherlands - recap

So it'd be me, updating again from the Netherlands, from home. I came back last night at 6.30 in the evening. And after all the stress off finding the luggage, hoisting or more like stumbling it onto one of those funny karts that they have I walked out into the arrival hall to hear my mom shout IRIS! and before I knew it I was in a hug so tight and we were crying loudly. People were giving me funny looks that's how I noticed. But it was good and then my grandma hugged me cause she had came along as well and then dad and then we hugged more and I told them off adventures and we went to the car. And then all the fatigue hit me and in the car I mostly dozed.

Unfortunately my flight had changed the morning I was traveling. I had gone to the airport early cause I'm paranoid about traveling apparantly and thankfully I am this time cause I was lucky I was early. Going to check in I saw on the screen that my flight had been cancelled so going to the window They told me the plane had malfuctioned and that they were going to make me fly to tokyo first and from tokyo take a flight to amsterdam. Because it meant going home and because I really didn't have much choise I consented. But It was sad. I only got to say half half goodbye to Marta and Mary-clare two friends from Japan who came with me all the way and I feel bad because I couldn't thank them and hug them the way I wanted but I said goodbye and then ran through the security, and made it just in time for my flight to tokyo. Where I cried on the plane all the way cause this was just the first step of me leaving Japan but it was final already and I was and still am missing everyone there.

In tokyo I had to wait, and for some reason I figured maybe I can try to go online. but yeah no, I had to pay and I saw all the other people go on internet for free which just made me glare at my computer cause it apparantly hates me. After that 12 hour flight back home *Groan* in which I was unable to move around alot or sleep at all. And then we are back at the first stage of the story. But I want to tell more in this post cause there are stilll adventures that I haven't told...

I'll start with the fact that I passed japanese and my other subjects, and that I told school already. Now I found out today I might ahve a problem and not get all the money I deserve because I forgot a form that they hadn't told me about yet to fill in in Japan but mayb eI can still do something about that. *crosses fingers* that would be rather nice If I can manage to make that work out. (and for the fact of self pleasure and to maintain my sanity I won't even get started on all the things and exams I have to do now that I am back home. I got one week of peace and I'm gonna enjoy it! XD

I will continue with the fact I had one of the most awesome christmasses ever and I got to spend it with solitaryaya  , who was kind enough to let me stay in her home, to take me in for christmas and to feed me and take care of me and show me around the philippines. I had a most amazing time, it was awesome that I could huggle her and fangirl with her and to actually meet her in person. and .. well it was close to being magical, at the same time I also got to meet arcielfreeder   and then it gets thrown in my face how awesome artists they are both of them and that they gave me amazing gifts while I come with lame gifts like manga's they give me drawings, marco plushies (which are amazing I have marco phoenix and marco adorable!) and a glass and.. so much... +__+ and yeah... I'm giving them valentine present to make up. XD hahahaha and then we went out, and I got to swim and I got to learn about the philippines, have pretty pictures of aya, lift arciel of the ground... in short it was awesome. On the day before I left I said goodbye to arciel together with Aya who went home by bus that evening and the next day I said goodbye to aya only to cry where we said goodbye, infront of her mom (which I was slightly emberassed about) but yeah just got to meet and was saying goodbye again already. So yeah. But it was amazing and awesome and gah... yeah it was super sweet. so

solitaryaya  : thanks for having me over and for taking care of me while I was visiting you but also while I was in Japan and all the goodtime we had together and that we could chat so much and exchange letters and packages. you're an amazing friend and I love you super much. :D we can do even this distance dear trust me. :D I'll call you whenever I can. ((now that I conquered skype)) and it just means we'll have to meet again (me go to philippines. we have roadtrip in europe >D ! ) your arts are amazing and make me flail each time. :D expect your valentine package dear. Your an awesome big sis. :D

arcielfreeder  : you keep going with your study dear, you can do it and you're doing awesomely. your an amazing artist and keep up with what you do. thanks for spending a day with me and aya and it was amazing to meet you. :D let's stay in contact, expect a package to come your way.

and then it was coming back to japan. Going from a 25 degrees back to 4 degrees was a big bummer. XD also add to the fact that I didn't realise righ taway I could have gone through passport check in 5 minutes but isntead stood in the wrong line and took 45 minutes. XD yeey. But yeah then it was coming back home to my cold awaji apartment. Alone. And then a mere two days later it was moving out of the same apartment and moving to the place where I would stay for my last few days.

The moving was an utter hell. Literally. After thinking that the first trip was the worst and that the second trip which would just be futon would be ease, we were horribly mistaken. After that trip I developed an utter and veil hate for futons. No matter what good words can be said about that. XD but after the move, I was exhausted. and spend new years simply behind my computer and once again at the same time celebrated it online with Aya. It was strange.. no fireworks.. so silent!

then the first days it was seeking contact again. and spend some days browsing around everywhere and catching up. Also making some special days with one of the girls who would be leaving soon and then the fifth of january we brought one of the girls to the airport, said a teary goodbye and then went back again. Where I went to buy new headphones afterwards knowing Iw ouldn't survive the journey home with bad headphones and then back to the apartment to rest. the sixt of january I said goodbye to the people at the school in Japan. after that I went to my host family.

My host family was super sweet, after they picked me up at the station they took me to a shrine because I hadn't gotten the chance to go with new year. At the shrine we all said a prayer and then went back to their house where I told them about my christmas, and got mochi. I also drew with the little girl and I made her a drawing as goodbye gift and then exchanged adresses to stay in contact with them. and then we exchanged small parting gifts and as we walked haruka-chan to piano class I went to the JR Station and once again I got hit by how soon it would be I'd be going home.

The next few days I spend with visiting places. Catching up wtih places. I went to several doujinshi stores for the last times and also to some other stores, hung out with people and un sunday went with one last event on sunday with naye

AND IT WAS AMAZING. and in that small amount of time and between all the awesomeness that is one piece and hand crafted stuff I had a small flashback of all the awesome times I spend with naye and of all the things she learned me about Japan but also about general things in life and how she also always helped me out with all sorts of things. and it was cool and amazing and I'm missing her alot to cause she was someone I relied on while there and who helped me more then often. We went karaoke and we went to tokyo! We went to doujinshi events and stores and simply hung out together. She took me to places with awesome food and made me meet other people! She made me see things in Japan I wouldn't have seen on my own. Naye thanks for everything. :) you made the four months there that more awesome and special just like all my friends did, thanks for taking care of me and looking after me. I hope you have some good times coming to you and I know there are special things waiting for you and that they will be awesome. :) your a good person and amazing and keep being cool! *hugs*

Also small note her I send christmas card and I hope they arrived, I think they did but if I promised you a card and it didn't arrive then my biggest apoligies. But I do love all my friends on LJ and I'll make up for it now that I am back home by being online more often and more reliable.

Either way that's pretty much a recap of all that happened to me in my last 3/4 weeks in japan and they were amazing. Japan is an adventure that I will never forget and will forever cherish. it's made me see that I want to travel and that I don't want to be stuck where I am now withou tseeing more of the world. I will see more of the world and I will have more adventures. I'm a pirate. :D and I decided that if I want adventures I'm gonna have to work for them and I will. :D

the moment me and my back acount are on speaking terms again. XD

but yeah I'm back. In the netherlands... :) and it's nice. and there are things I miss but I'll see those things again one day. And the people I will meet again to. THanks to all my LJ Friends for supporting me all the time and being around even when I was not always available and kind of a bad friend. But thank you all for sticking by me and for the christmas cards and all. you guys rock.

And as a final message. captain featheredtips  XD I'm sorry I don't have your meme done yet. I promise it will be done soon.
