The Future ^-^
Sorry minna for not posting lately, I was really in a bad mood, but now I am happy and much better ^^
I was thinking lately about my future, it’s not wrong to think about the future and to plan your life the way you want, but at the same time I find out that thinking a lot about the future is just a waste time, why is that ??
Well there are many things that no one can predict in the future, and thinking too hard will make you sick eventually, and also the more I think about the future the more I feel scared of it, I don’t want to feel this way, so I decided that I will live the moment and stop thinking about the future, I will work hard like I always do and believe in myself and believe that the future will be bright for me^-^
I wonder what the future hides for me

Last day in Japan T_T
My last day in Japan was full and very emotional, I felt really sad T_T that my journey will come to an end, it wasn’t just a trip to some country , it was much more , an experience of a life time with 53 nice people from 50 different countries , it was a dream that came true for me.
The last day party was really amazing, kumagai san asked some participants to make a performance in front of our Japanese families that were really kind to spend a day with us ^^
When kumagai san asked us “is there is anyone who wants to make a performance??” I was confused , should I make one or not , eventually I thought that it would be very nice if I could sing an arabic song, this way I could feel that I represented my country in some way , so I sang an Arabic song which is called “sahar al layali “ ,it is for a famous Lebanese singer ( Fairouz) , this song was my Egyptian friends( mai san) choice( good choice ^_^).
Of course special thanks to Andres san who really helped me a lot in my performance , he played the guitar along with me ,although Andres san didn’t know the song before , but he could play the song in just 20 minutes , I was really surprised and impressed by him.
Andres san , me and mai san ^^
My host family told me that they will be busy and that they can’t come to the party, so I wasn’t expecting to see them, but to my surprise they came, and I was really glad and touched especially when akemi san (my Japanese mom) told me that she thought that I will feel lonely seeing all the participant’s host family by their side, I am glad that I met such nice people in my life ^^
The party ^^
Kosuke san and me ^^
Akemi san and her husband ^^
me and The father ^^
Akemi san , daniel san ( miss u ) , me ^^
The last performance was just amazing , here is my performance for Fairouz songs and also videos of my Japan trip taken by Marco san who’s a creative young man ^^
My performance along with andres san and mai san ^^
A book store called "book off ", the best anime shop ever and it has branches all over Japan ^^ and cheap prices ^^
Asakusa/Tokyo , the place where I bought my yukata ^^
Some clips of trips around different parts of tokyo: shibuya, shinjuku, tokyo tower, ikebukuro^^
Marco san said about this video "These may not be the most noisy or high tech places I visited in Japan, but it is the Japan I fell in love with" , I agree with him and for me too these places were the places I fell in love with.
This video made my tears flow thinking of the places I love the most and also the song is the favorite song for kosuke san T_T
By the way, I tried to stay awake the last night in Japan but I couldn’t, my body couldn’t take it, Daniel san tried to wake me up but he couldn’t, I remember when I said good bye to everyone with a big smile in my face but inside my heart tears were flowing, after I said goodbye to everyone, I cried in the bus in my way to the airport, this is an emotion I will never forget T_T
Japan, I love you from the bottom of my heart , and to all the people whose dream is going to Japan , I will tell you that Japan is definitely worth it , so work hard and do your best and Japan will become a reality the same way it became for me.
Yes Japan is a dream, but it’s a dream that can come true, remember that ^^

Wadaiko & a Home visit!!
Minasan, have you ever heard of the word wadaiko before?
I first heard this word when I went to Japan, as I said before the program gave us the chance to choose between 4 different activities that reflect a major part of Japans traditions and culture (Wadaiko, Aikido (material art), Ikebana (flower art), satou (Tea ceremony)), I chose Aikido (I already talked about it ...click here to check it out) and wadaiko.
Wadaiko means Japanese drums, there are different types of Taiko (drums) and different types of performance that can be played (Multi-drum, multi-player, Multi-drum, one player, One drum, multi-player, One drum, one player), wadaiko is a very important and essential part in the Japanese culture because it’s played in festivals( and of course u can imagine the number of festivals Japanese people have ), during my stay in Kansai Japanese language institute, I used to hear wadaiko sound at night , this is because there was a festival everyone was preparing for ( danjiri matsuri , I will talk about it in a later post) , so Japanese people take it seriously and so I did when I played.
So why do Japanese people have a great emphasis on wadaiko this much??
Well, as you all know, the first thing a baby hears is the voice of one’s mother heart beat, the sound of wadaiko reassembles the sound of the mother heart beat, this gives the power to whom ever play or listen to the wadaiko amazing sound, I fell in love with wadaiko, my heart beat in a way it didn’t beat before while listening to it the first time( in Miyajima island),and when I started learning it, although my hands started to hurt me after hitting the drum for a long time, but I kept wanting to hit the drum , of course playing with a group of people is what made it more fun , you can feel the powerful spirit that wadaiko have once u start hitting the drums ^^
I think the home stay is a good chance for a Japanese language student, actually it may be the most rewarding and memorable part of an experience abroad, and imparts special insight into the culture and daily life of the host country.
first my Japanese mom akemi san picked me up from kansai center and then we went by her car to different places before we went home, well , she speaks very fast , I was impressed by her , she went to many countries although she is afraid from getting into airplanes , I thought that she was really interesting .
We went to an art museum ^_^ I enjoyed my time there, we were lucky that there was a classical music show at the same day we went there ^^ it was at 1 pm, so we had time to eat lunch before the show.
The Art Museum^^
The Piano they used in the Classical music show ^^
we took a break for lunch (ramen place), now I already told my Japanese mom that I can’t eat ham meat cause I am Muslim, so I expected a ramen without ham in it, but after one spoon of my ramen, she put her hashi (shop sticks) in my ramen and took ham meat from it saying that u can’t eat this right!! Well I was shocked that the ramen had ham in it, so I told her that I can’t even eat something cooked with ham, she accepted it with a huge smile in her face telling me it’s ok ^^ and then instead I ate tempura which is completely safe^^ oishikatta.
The ramen with ham meat in it >_< & Tempura ^_^
Then after that we went back to the art museum to watch the classical music show, although all of the people watching the show were old, but I really enjoyed it ^^
Then we went to her best friend’s house, she wanted to show her the pictures of their recent trip , my Japanese mom traveled a lot, they were really nice to me and was interested to know more about me and my country , also the father tried to talk to me in English , that was cute ^^
Akemi san ( my Japanese okaachan ) , her friend family^^
Akemi san, Her friend, atashi ^^
Anyway , after that we went to a super market to buy groceries because my Japanese mother wanted to cook something special for me ( how nice was that) , anyway , she invited her son and his wife , because it was weekend ( Sunday) ,I met the father , he was really nice , in fact everyone were, I felt that Japanese families are similar to the Arabic one, cause the role of the mother is the same , when the son entered the house he hugged his dad and drank beer with him and his wife and me entered the kitchen to prepare the food( see what I mean >_>) , I really enjoyed the food , the best meal I had in Japan.
Akemi san ( Okaachan) , atashi, Otousan ^^
me & akemi san ( Okaachan )son ^^
me & akemi san no daugther in law ^^
Look how cute my Japanese family is ^^
I now have a new family in Japan; this feeling is something that I won’t trade for anything in this world.

Last day in Tokyo ^^
Our last day in Tokyo was interesting, it started early in the morning, we (Aw no mina san) left KitaUrawa center at 8 30 am , and we arrived at our first destination in the schedule which was the Diet Building which is a building where sessions of both the house of Representatives and the house of Councilors meet, The sessions of the house of Representatives take place in the left wing while the sessions of the house of Councilors take place in the right wing, well it’s not as interesting as the places we went before , but still something that is good to know about Japan.
After that we went for lunch, the program took us to a restaurant in Shibuya that serves vegetarian food, I am sorry to say that but I didn’t like the food at all and most of the participants didn’t like it either, the majority of us are non vegetarian and also we couldn’t see the point of taking us to such restaurant (it’s not even Japanese food), but anyway we were all polite when they asked us about our opinion in the food, we should have been honest.
The resturant ^^
Our vegetarian meal ^^
After our pure vegetarian meal ,We arrived at Meji-Jinga Shinto shrine at 1:45 pm which is also located at Shibuya , Meji-Jinga shrine is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, it is visited by many people, especially on new year when people pay their first visits (called “Hatsumoude”).The number of the first visitors to the shrine is the largest in Japan, the view was amazing and also I liked a tree there , I spent most of the time walking near it ( I have no idea why I fell in love with it).
This is the tree I fell in love with ^^
Meji-Jinga Shrine ^^
After a very long day, we arrived at Haneda airport, it was time for us to leave Tokyo T_T, we enjoyed JAL airline flight^^ and we came back to our home, Kansai Japanese language center /Osaka^^
Yappari home sweet Home ^^
Haneda Airport
Next time, I am going to post about my Home visit and wadaiko (Japanese drum), so tanoshimi ni ^^

One Year Anniversary ^^
Today , I am celebrating two things , I am celebrating my birthday and also the birth of my blog , wow , I can’t believe that it has been a year since I started this blog , time flies fast O_O.
I started blogging when I turned 21, at that time I didn’t know that this blog will be a major part in my life, this blog means the world to me, how can it not be when this blog witnessed the tough , sad and also the happy ,amazing , joyful days of my life , I posted various topics about me , my dreams , my friends , my family, Japanese events , trips and much more .
a lot of things have happened this year , I went thought a lot , I achieved SOME OF my dreams , I won the 12th Japanese speech contest which was a huge thing for me , I went to Japan and I can’t believe until now that I actually went to the land of my dreams.
During this year, I met a lot of people, I made friends all around the world, and I realized how lucky I am to have the friends that I do have now, This make me wanna treasure the people that I love the most in my life (my family, bmb , my friends and all the people that do care about me.
A lot of people supported me and without their support I Couldn’t do anything (my best friend in this life (my mom ),the person who love me the most in life( my sister rawand) , Timoor sensei , kikuchi sensei ,my second sister alaa , my friend and my sis farah and many friends that I can’t live without ), looking back to this year , I am glad that I made the decision to learn Japanese language , it gave me better friends , a new life , basically it gave me things that I didn’t even dream of T_T
I started blogging a year ago, many people entered my blog from different countries, sometimes I didn’t believe the numbers of people entering the blog every day, despite all this, numbers are meaningless to me, if my posts reached someone and made him passionate about something in his/her life, this means the world to me, the most important thing to me is the impact of blogging to whom ever read this blog^^
I really have no idea what the future hides for me, and for this blog, having this thought, I feel scared of the future, it’s so unpredictable, but I believe that Allah has a plan for me and I feel the blessing and the love of Allah every single day , so the best thing I can do is carry on with my life having big faith in ALLAH and of course the people I love and (enshaalla)carry on with my posting that has became part of me, I hope that my vision reached all people viewing my page , after all my blogs name is Rua’s Vision , It’s about my life in Jordan and my passion for Japan ,facing many challenges that is in my way in achieving my dreams^-^ this is the description of my blog and it will remain this way.
I would like to thank all the people viewing, reading and commenting on my blog , and to those who have read, commented, encouraged and challenged me to write better subjects every time since I started my first entry .
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for everything T_T
