Where My Heart Belongs


Hi, blogger! It's me Maya. It's been a very long time, right?
Well, here I am. Back in Beppu, after went back to Indonesia for about 25 days. Going back to Indonesia turned out to be something that I did not expected before. I thought, I would be so-damn missed my home country that I will not even think of going back to Japan. The thing is, strangely enough, I felt that it was another trip. You know what I mean. Suddenly, I do not feel as if my home is.. my home.

It was not about I am not being nationalize about my own country. I really love my own country, really. But, I think Beppu starts to growing inside me. After couple of days, I started to miss Beppu very much. Feel strange, eh? I don't know why but I feel like my life in Beppu is full of memories. And when I went back to Indonesia, I felt like I've never leaved that place, as if all the memories of this one year in Japan was only a sweet dream.

Beppu feels pretty much like my second home. And I really meant it. I know sometimes things were not easy here. I faced lots of problems and difficulties during my first year, but it did not keep me from fight it back. Does it mean that I fell in love with this small city?

When I came back to Beppu, I just can't wait. Suddenly I got excited all over again. Green trees, blue sky, clean and fresh air, sound of summer.. I really love them. I rarely see beautiful blue sky in Indonesia, but I see it almost everyday in Beppu. I can see it from my window and I really really love looking at the blue sky.

Coming back to Beppu, feel like I become myself all over again. And maybe the best of all when you heard people saying 「おかえりなさい」or 'welcome back!' to you. When I just arrived in Beppu, I decided to go to the campus to enjoy the nature of Beppu.

I miss the blue sky.
The green trees.
The fresh and clean air.
The sound of summer.
The sunshine.
The view of sea and Beppu city.
The summer breeze.

I still cannot imagine when I have to leave this place when I graduate on September 2014.
I wish the time will pass slowly here. Then, I can create more and more memories and live my life to the fullest here. I wish things won't change. And the 19-years-old me will keep loving this place.

Thanks for reading. See ya' and bye-bye!

Far away from Japan,
Maya
