howdy.

im just thinking about what to do in the near future. i thought about studying but im not sure if i can make it. also i would like to work in america or in asia but im not sure if my traineeship is enough to apply in foreign countries?

what are your plans?

plans in the coming months - 1 year

- do my 45 hours of classroom teaching
- take my california teachers test
- finish the semester
- attend friends wedding in Vegas
- apply for Teacher's Credintial School
- FALL 2005
- start fall semester
--- may visit the Philippines, depending on my Mother's health
- start spring semester
- graduate from University
- Visti Osaka / Kyoto / friend's city ( depending on money!)

man, this is gonna be one big potential thread. there are all kinds of people in various age groups, living in all places in the countries with different values, but i'm sure most will prolly say in the line of:

to graduate hi school,
get into college,
graduate college,
get into a good job,
leave this piece of crap job,
get married
have kids,
retire,
etc, etc.

wow i really have not manny plans for the future... well whatever happens happens

my plans

- enroll in Cambridge A'lvl
- Study med bio-chem in Monash U[MY] for 2 years, and a year in Nagoya U
..
short huh..

what happened to becoming a pilot?

Well since I'm probabely the old hat of these forums. I already dropped out of college years ago to work. A short tip don't do that you will live with the uncertainity for the rest of your life...

Besides that earning enough many to have a month long vacation in japan. And of course finding that special one to live my life with and raise a family(yep it's scary how passing 25 makes you start thinking about all those weird things like kids and stuff).

Besided that Learning to draw. And becoming lead programmer on a sane game development company (which there seems to be soo few :( )

If at all possible, I'd like to live in Japan. Either in Osaka/Kobe or back to Itoman village in Okinawa.

Heh, and be rich too!

I've done undergrad study and grad study too so..I'd just postpone things that got to do with studying for a while.

Get married, settle down and have kids? hmm..don't know that yet.

There's not so much in my mind except that I would like to plan my travelling each year so that I can get the heck out of my routines. This year target might be Japan or Italy... I'll just go with the flow with whatever may comes at the moment.

i would like to finish college, then go to japan on the JET program, which sends american people to japan to teach english. i would like to go and teach in tokyo for 2 years. then i want to get a job, maybe as a teacher of economics, or maybe for a magazine like electronic gaming monthly. for some reason, i've become interested in journalism. part of it is probly because i'm just scared of the future, and dont know what to do with my life, but whatever. i'm only 20, so i have lots of time to think about this kind of stuff, right?

lastly, i wanna try and get married by around 26-27, and have a kid first year of marriage. but who knows if that will actually work. if i end up not marrying my current girlfriend, which i've been with for 6 years already, i may be set way back in that category.

I just wanna see where my roots came from. It wouldn't suprise me if all I saw were piggy doodoo anyway! *LOL*! After all, when my great grandfather came here in the early 1900's, the first two generations just worked in the sugar cane fields and lead frugal lifestyles. (But I'll be the first to change that!! Mwahahahaha $$ *LOL*)
But anyways, I've yet to see the (supposedly) beautiful beaches of Okinawa. All I know is Osaka which is why I want to see Okinawa so badly. Gotta go back to the roots man! *err, woman*

wow it's great to see so many ambitious people I'd finished my undergraduate study some time back.. right now I'm working and at the same time completing my master degree, although i dunno why i cont studying at the first place but i hope in the near future i will able to open my own kindergarden and travel to europe and japan

i will be graduated from college soon...so for now on my future plan is start to find a good job....make my own money....
in back times i have planned that i would continue my study to get master degree on advertising but after i have passed my last final project and everything my head is overloaded with science and stuff so i guess i would take sometimes to get a job first and then.......i still dont know...

you haven't seen rural in okinawa until you seen Ie shima, an island east of middle/northern part of the main island. No paved road, and ALL pig farms! Just as well, because the Okinawan diet consists of a LOT of pork (debichi, rafute, Nakami soup (pig inside) etc) Everything from head to tail is used, and the present-day Okinawan diet begins and ends with pork, which explains the abundance of pork in the land of the ryukyus.

Actually, itoman is not as rural as it seems. compared to koza and of course naha it's the boonies, but just by itself, the town seems to operate by it's own time. There are a lot of great sashimi-ya there, and being right by the sea (i'm talking about less than 100 ft), the fish is REALLY fresh.

life is WAY laid back there, Maybe that's how they became the country with the highest life expectancy (JPN). The place in JPN with the highest expectancy is Okinawa. You're right, you've gotta go back 'home' one of these days. Hell I'm not even uchinanchu and i feel quite at home in okinawa.
