Nov 24th Mariage

Bonjour amis virtuels,

Aujourd'hui j'ai assisté à la "soirée" de mariage d'un ami. Ou plutôt, pour traduire le mot Japonais 二次会 quasi mot pour mot, à la "fête suivante".
On parle de Nijikai en général quand il y a eu une céremonie au temple, puis une fête à proprement parler, puis une soirée.
Donc bref, je suis allée à cette dite soirée.
Le coeur léger, comme souvent.
Mais j'en suis malheureusement rentrée le coeur très lourd. Comme souvent, me direz-vous.

Je m'imaginais revoir tous mes amis de l'université, tous ceux que j'avais rencontrés sur les bancs de Keio, et qui ont été pour moi ma deuxième famille, en terre étrangère. Je m'imaginais discuter avec eux à n'en plus finir, et rire, rire comme avant, comme si je n'avait fait aucune promesse à personne, comme si je n'avais aucune responsabilité, comme si le temps ne nous avait pas changés.

Puis je ne comprend pas trop, pas vraiment. J'espère juste qu'au fond de moi je ne fais pas semblant de ne pas comprendre. Peut être que j'ai juste trop aimé des gens qui eux ne m'aimaient pas tellement? Peut être que j'ai donné beaucoup d'importance à des personnes pour lesquelles j'étais finalement quelconque? Je ne sais pas, mais on dirait que je n'étais pas vraiment invitée. Je souhaite quelque part que quelqu'un se soit juste trompé en me disant ça.

Puis je me dis que ce n'est rien, de toute façon, je les aime tous et s'ils ont décidé que c'est ce qu'il fallait faire c'est qu'il le fallait. Bien que je ne connaisse pas l'explication exacte je suis sûre que si je l'avait connue, je l'aurait comprise. Je suis donc juste là pour profiter de ce moment court, très court, trop court en compagnie de ces gens que j'adore tant.

C'est à ce moment là que mes sentiments et ceux de mon mari ont pris deux fusées dans des directions opposées et nous ont projetés à des années lumières de nous comprendre. Moi qui, en pleine discussion, le cœur chaud, le rire au bord des lèvres et les larmes aux bords des yeux, me demandant comment j'ai fait pour me passer de cette chaleur humaine tant de temps; et lui le regard froid, agacé par mon trop plein d'enthousiasme, par le fait que je ne le présente pas à des gens qu'il connaissait pourtant déjà, par le fait que je ne soit pas ce que je suis censée être, un aiment aimant, aimanté par son amour pour son bien aimé, sa supposée tant-psychologique-que-physique, moitié.

Pendant ce temps, moi, je me demandais juste comment j'ai pu manquer la compagnie des francophones si longtemps, pleins d'humour et de passion, pas tous ne nous emballons pas, mais la plupart tellement attendrissants.

L'heure de la discussion arrive, et je découvre le fossé qui nous sépare, entre un "j'ai tellement envie de retourner en France", et de sa part un "et moi je n'ai plus envie d'y aller". Quelle tristesse, de réaliser qu'il y a une vérité derrière ça, un vrai immuable, un état de fait, une divergence qui ne connait pas de conciliation. Ni peut-être pour nous de réconciliation.

Car c'est un fait. Il n'y a pas de pardon à ce faire, d'excuses et de grandes embrassades, d'erreur à avouer et de montagne à regravir la main dans la main. Personne n'a tord, personne n'a raison, personne n'est méchant, personne n'est gentil. Nous sommes différents c'est tout. Et bien que notre différence nous ait souvent enrichie, nous sommes peut-être arrivés au moment où elle nous laisse seul heureux, ou tristes ensembles.

Oct 25th Who are we (allowed to be) ?




Hello anonymous people of the internet.

...

Well,
I have to take a deep breath before this one.

I've never allowed myself to admit that but... How I wish I could be anonymous! Like forever, it is exhausting to always worry about people, should it be for good or bad reasons. It's too much work to be linked to people.

It's too much work to be part of this world.


I actually think about writing this blog every single day, like writing honestly about how I feel, how I live, what I think. But then I always have second thoughts, about how X and Y are gonna react to what I'm writing. How they'll change their minds about me, and I stop there and leave all what I think inside my heart, sealed feelings and unspoken truths.

Many people would say "Just don't give a shit about what others think! Easy" Well, not. Let's be sincere it's not. We're all born in families, without being able to chose we've been assigned parents, siblings, cultures, religion, nationalities from birth. We have no choice but to accept them, or at least, respect them? That has always been an 暗黙了解 to me. Tacitly we are expected to fit, we are required to accept the random combination we've be assigned at birth.

Some people will say that it's wrong, that you're the master of your very self and the designer of your very own "you". That you can be a boy when you're born a girl, that you can love girls when you're supposed to love boys, that you can be rich when you're born poor, that you can change your nationality, learn a new language, turn friends into chosen family, get healthy when you were sick, believe when your parents taught you to disbelieve, disbelieve when your parents taught you to believe.

Indeed you can.

But you'll have to let everything behind.

Because a few, if even some, will follow you then. And if you care about them even a little, then you'll eventually abort your plans, and would rather bury yourself than disappoint them and be that person they would hate to see you turning into. You would be that person they expect you to be, because disappointing yourself is okay, it's only you, and you can always pretend you forgot.

Aug 11th. Good Bye Y. Adieu Y.

Hello everybody,

It's been a while isn't it.
I'm sorry I come here only when I need it, not when I should.
Last week one of my good friends passed away. Y.
He was 26.
He died in a car accident in which he wasn't even at fault.
He got crushed, literally, by a truck who's driver was asleep, or texting. He didn't say. The driver in question just said he "didn't realize", he didn't realize he was going full speed toward a stationary car, a car stopped due to a traffic jam. He didn't all the traffic jam. That's hat he said.

The day after we went to Y.'s funeral. When we entered the enormous room I felt overwhelmed. The room was full of white flowers arranged in beautiful patterns. In the middle, a huge picture of Y., half smiling, as always.

Y. was this cold blooded, cynical, hilarious, comical, witted boy. He always had a rictus on his face when he commented on things, and always had a ironical and derisive but still very accurate remark to make.

The last time I met Y. was at Soso's 1st year birthday party, where Shun me and Y. promised each other to have dinner together anytime soon, as we didn't have the chance to talk as we wished we could that day.

Since then I feel like an empty shell. The day of his funeral, I couldn't stop my tears and couldn't wipe then away as I was holding sleeping Solo in my arms.

In front of his coffin I was thinking: "So, that's it? That's how people go? As simply as that? On the road to work? That's how people leave? Without a goodbye? Without a speech? Without a second chance? As simple as that?"

I couldn't stand seeing his pale face in the coffin, that wasn't him, that couldn't be him! Under that think white make up, that's just an empty carcass, no way it is our friend.

His mother told us that his body down his knees was gone, smashed, ripped, and that they had a hard time concealing his face's wounds under the make up.

Then we went back home.

And I've been dreaming of Y. since then, everyday. I'm talking to him, every night. I don't know if I'm  still sane or not, but it seems that there's maybe more to him than just being dead.
Maybe he just has been downloaded to another layer of this same world.

July 1st. The gift from Kenya

I've been wondering for a long time in which language I should write my comics.

And I've decided to write all 4 languages, all together! :-)

So I'll be posting my 4 languages comics here, hoping you traveller of the internet, will like them.

This one is "The gift from Kenya"

 The Gift from Kenya 🇰🇪

5/21 Au mauvais endroit au meilleur moment


J’ai la gorge qui me démange toujours,
Ça doit être mon manque d’amour...
Mais non ça n’a rien à voir!
Je me dis ça tous les soirs.
Mais je préfères quand tu m’enlaces,
C’est plus facile, plus efficace,
Que cette tristesse si tenace,
Que ce coeur rempli de crasse,
Que cette sentence qui me dépèce, qui me dépasse,
Qui me rabaisse, qui me menace,
Qui se dépêche de me voir lasse.
J'ai la gorge qui me démange sans fin,

Mais ça doit juste être mon chagrin.

11/15 DAY 2: Riverboating on the Kumano river, Wakayama.


First thing, we got the chance to riverboat down the magnificent Kumano river, our guide, storyteller as well as flute player guided us through this no-bridge river which goes all the way from Shingu to Hongu.

Nous avons d'abord eu la chance de faire un tour en chaloupe sur la rivière Kumano, guidée par celle qui ne sera pas seulement notre guide mais aussi notre conteuse et notre joueuse de flûte!

We've listened and been enchanted by her emperors and empresses stories and by the flute she played. We even had a break in the middle of the trip to meet up with the nature down the road! Such a lovely and unforgetable experience

Accompagning us to the boat, as back to the good old times

Starting the ride

Listening to the guide's storytelling

That small boat's captain was, 96 years old according to what I've heard! As genki-funky as can be :) 
Meeting with the rocks half way!


Just climbed onto it!

The lovely scenery around

Playing flute half way, surrounded by calm and quiet nature

11/15 DAY 1: Discovering the fantastic Shingu, prefecture of Wakayama.


Have you ever visited the cities of Kumano and Shingu, in the prefecture of Wakayama?

Recently, an Australian girl originally from Taiwan and I, have had the chance to participate in a project aiming at conveying the power and the importance of that region abroad. The first step was to discover the region ourselves! 
we started off with the city of Shingu, where temples are closely linked to the city and are part of everyone's lives.

We first had to take the plane from Haneda airport, Tokyo, to Nanki-shirahama airport in Wakayama. No need to say I've had to run the marathon to catch up my plane at 8am at Haneda airport when the day before it took me until late in the evening to be able to leave work. Good thing we were all travelling light! For the anecdote, I wasn't even aware at that time, but I was already 2 months pregnant... :o) And you'll see that running all the way from my bed to the plane's gate wasn't the only adventurous move we made through the trip! 


On the way to Shingu, beautiful and promising sceneries.  
After arriving to Wakayama by plane, we rode a car until our final destination: Shingu.

The tourist office of Shigu
Our very first step! A very friendly staff who will help you with almost anything! :)
Find them here: 
6 Ukijima, Shingū-shi, Wakayama-ken 647-0014, Japan

 A break in the middle of our ascension to Kamikura-jinja Shrine
We've got a very friendly guide following us through the 538 (nobody knows) steps to Kamikura-jinja Shrine. Luckily nobody felt off the stairs! (We heard that it happened a few times in the past...)

Kamikura-jinja Shrine and the Gotobiki-iwa Rock

Up the stairs, you'll reach the imposing Gotobiki-iwa Rock, where the Gods of Kumano are supposed to have first stepped.

Amazing view on Wakayama from Kamikura-jinja Shrine

Going down, surprisingly harder than going up! (well, not this flat part, the sloped next part!)

Praying at the Kumano Hayatama-taisha Grand Shrine

We then reached our second destination, the Kumano Hayatama-taisha Grand Shrine, which was Grand indeed! The place was beautiful and so relaxing.  
In front of the Asuka-jinja Shrine
We then went on to visit the Asuka-jinja Shrine. On of the smallest shrines but also one of the most important one! I was the very first temple in the region linking all the others together. It also newly , in 2016, became part of the World Heritage 'Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range'. It's particularity is that you don't need to wander the mountain to find, it's right there, in the middle of the city!

If you're interested about the Shrines and how to access them, find all the information about the Shrines described above in French at :

We helped translate and write the above website with the team in charge of Kumano's tourism, so don't hesitate to check it out!



The restaurant Nomikuidokoro Kichi
And as we did nothing but eat, we ended up here first: At the restaurant Nomikuidokoro Kichi. We were so tired we just eat all that delicious food in no time.

The delicious mix of Japanese food, Occidental food, and the chef's specials!
With the owner and chef of Nagomiba Kuishinbo
We then went on to the restaurant Nagomiba Kuishinbo, which owner was extremely knowledgeable about alcohols and their mariage with different food. More info about Kuishinbo at https://www.shinguu.jp/fr/spots/detail/C0036

With the lovely couple managing the DAYZYLAW CAFÉ
We finally finished our evening at the DAYZYLAW CAFÉ, managed by a very nice couple who used to live in Australia. The restaurant is an original and stylish mix of Japanese and Australian dished. The whole in restaurant with a very pop and natural atmosphere! More info about DAYZYLAW CAFÉ at https://www.shinguu.jp/fr/spots/detail/C0042

2/15 Australia, Sydney


Hi everyone!

I'm back, half for myself, half because I must.
The last months of 2016 have been, I have to say, pretty messed up I have to say. Never in my life I have felt so lost, and paradoxically this was maybe due to the quantity of choices I had back then.
I am the kind of person who can't walk on a straight, worst, I'm the kind person who wouldn't be able to have the luxury or being able to freely decide on either to go let or right. Unfortunately I'm that kind of person who needs a wall, a big thick wall in the middle of my road, to know that I have to break it, to get over it, to get rid of it. Straight ways only scary me to a point I almost can't describe with words. I feel powerless, useless, meaningless. I feel lost when my life gets easy, mapped out. This what happened to me the last months.


We stayed at the Quay West Suites Sydney, here the view on the bay from our window

View from the Quay West Suites Sydney, starring the both of us

An amazing wall art close to Chinatown

Walking around the harbour

Before changing drastically my life (I'll tell you about later :-) ) I went to Sydney, Australia for the first time. Here I'll share a few of the pictures with you!

10/2 - -- --- Emmerger --- -- -

Bonjour

Dirais-je.
J'ai tout à coup envie de me présenter,
J'ai tout à coup envie de penser que l'on ne s'est jamais connus.

Ce n'est pas contre vous, c'est contre moi.
"Demain j'écrirais", et ma vie est passée contre tout, contre moi.

"Moins silencieusement!" j'ai peur, peur du silence.
Moi qui auparavant craignait le "bruit", la "foudre", la "tempête" ou toutes ces menaces déferlantes qui pour moi prenaient l'image de sons, d'ondes, de vibrations.
Les coups, les cris, tout cela n'était au final qu'un mouvement audible, qu'un bruit palpable, qu'un malheur qui se présentait à haute voix.

Ce moi qui refusait le bruit le quémande à présent.
Ce moi qui priait le vide, le rien, le bonheur... L'entend à présent comme néant, absence et frustration.

Pourquoi
Pour quoi
Pour quelle sorte d'autre me suis-je perdue?

Puis-je lire mes phrases à haute voix? Puis-je crier? Puis-je lancer des questions à tout va? Puis-je m'appuyer sur le support mouvant de la parole? Glisser sur un jeu de mot ? Changer de ton et d'émotion ? Courir sur les doubles sens? Sauter des mots...
Et couvrir la vie de ce poids impalpable qu'est le son.

J'étais écrivaine, et pas de veine, je suis devenue poétesse...

Mais peut-être le bon choix étais-ce.

06/15 De la beauté et de l'humain. Du temps et de la vie.



Si la beauté est injuste, et si la richesse est injuste alors je me battrais pour arracher les deux.
J’ai toujours cherché une logique, une justice, une explication dans l’attribution naturelle -et dans naturelle j’entend hasardeuse et arbitraire- de la beauté à l’homme.

Si animal j’eus été, la figure du vilain petit canard m’aurait sied à merveille.

Enfant j’ai toujours été très moche, pour appeler un caneton caneton. Ce n’était pas même une affaire de goût ou d’opinion, dans mon cas c’était flagrant, flagrant si même que ça en devenait un fait, une vérité, absolue. Le soleil se lève à l’est se couche à l’ouest, et Olfa n’est pas agréable à regarder. 
Qu’à cela ne tienne j’en survivais. 

Ma petite soeur quant à elle, avait eu gratuitement et à la naissance ce que d’autres vont galérer à ne serait-ce qu’a effleurer. Elle était d’une beauté à en faire pâlir les arcs en ciels, à en faire courber des arbres, à en faire tomber moults braves hommes. 

 “Tant pis”, avais-je d’abord pensé, “j’ai sûrement moi-même d’autres qualités” sans comprendre que la beauté est pour ce monde comme l’or est aux monnaies, car bien sur que chaque pays a sa devise, biensur que ces billets ont de la valeur, mais elle monte baisse, suit le cours de la bourse, perd des places dans l’économie mondiale, en gagne, change, disparaît…
L’or lui reste, fier, inchangeant, toujours demandé, toujours précieux, toujours souhaité et convoité.
J’avais compris que toutes les qualités d’une femmes sont comptés en devises étrangeres, et la beauté en lingots. 
J’avais cherché la raison de cette injustice qui vous prend au berceau. Puis j’avais compris! “Dieu fait les gentils beaux et les méchants moches, pour que chacun comprenne ce qu’il est”. Je ne voyais rien de plus logique, et puis si dans les dessins animés déjà c’était ça, alors! “Alors ça veut dire que moi, moi...suis-je si méchante?” Quel choc, je ne m’attendais pas à ce que la vie m’envoie cela comme ça, en plein visage (expression parfaite). Ma petite soeur devait être très gentille au fond, pour avoir le droit d’être si belle.

Un jour que mère nous gronda et nous punit nous nous refugiames dans sa chambre, sur une idée de ma petite soeur. Pourquoi sa chambre? Là W. s’empare de sa parfumerie, beaux jolis onéreux parfums, et les renverse résolue sur son corps menu et sur la moquette indigne de tant de dispendieuses offrandes. L’odeur de l’alcool picota nos petites narines, elle :”La tu te sens mieux, pas vrai?”, “Pourquoi?” dis-je alors, “Ben, elle nous engeule, on se venge” lança t’elle, le regard perçant. “Mais c’est du gâchis, elle ne saura jamais qu’on était fachées, et pourquoi on l’était, et on ne comprendra pas son point de vue non plus, et puis tout ce parfum qui coûte cher, c’est du gâchis, ça ne sert à rien”, quand elle me répondit, avec pas une onde de doute dans la voix: “C’est ça la vengeance”

C’est à ce moment là que je cessais de voir la beauté comme l’inaccessible et précieux don du ciel aux anges méritants, mais comme l’arbitraire et pernicieux suppôt de l’injustice des hommes en ce bas monde.

06/08 One more year! 29 Springs :)




To the 286 people from whom I've received Birthday mails and messages in 8 languages, during 3 days (thanks to the time difference -partly-) from France, Great-Britain, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, The Philippines, Taiwan, China, Hong-Kong, Palestine, Tunisia, Lebanon, Egypt, Pakistan, The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey, The United States, Mexico, Canada, Amsterdam, Australia, New Caledonia, Tahiti and Hawaii. 
GUYS YOU JUST ROCK !!

You're that very nice gravity that helps me keep my feet on the ground sometimes and fly some other times. You're sometimes pure oxygen as well as laughing gas. You're just so cool.
This year I've not only grown up once but Three times. I'm on the last year of my 20's, I've became (twice in a row!) an aunt for my birthday, and I'll be moving to Dubai at the end of the summer. And as much as those changes can sound radical I can say I'm very happy to grow up, luck is luck as soon as you decide to call it that way yourself. Don't let your happiness be the bastard of your feeling because you don't wanna name it. Acknowledge every single moment of happiness, or luck God, life, nature gave you, At least that's what I've setting my heart on from now!
So, to all of you, in all your effing beautiful languages: 

THANK YOU!

04/30 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Shooting and Test drive. 【Sport Modeling 】


Test du bolide de Kawasaki, le H2! En Direct de Hakone, Japon. 



Tout se passe entre bouche à oreilles et relations. Dira-t'on.
En effet c'est comme ça que le monde fonctionne et veut bien fonctionner, on étés les brèves réflexions psychologico-métaphysiques qui ont traversées mon esprit, comme à leurs habitudes avant les grands évènements. Mais nul doute il y à là une grande part de valeur, les gens t'appellent parce qu'ils te connaissent, mais aussi parce qu'ils se souviennent de toi. Parce qu'ils pensent, à tort ou à raison que tu pourrais suivre leur vague et y apporter ton sel.
Pour une fois que mettre son grain de sel est apprécié. Mais je divague ~~haha.
Donc la H2 de Kawasaki à été pour moi un grand retour vers les origines, puisque j'avais abandonné mes débuts en ER6 pour tout de suite passer à Suzuki avec mon ptit SV650 S puis à Honda avec le VFR850 (cette légende). Le 4 cylindres n'aura pas été dépaysant et la souplesse de sa conduite témoignais bien de sa facilité d'adaptation. Bien que pour le shooting photo il n'y a eu que du rapide, elle s'est montrée douce à monter quelques soient les vitesses et les tours par minutes. La boîte de vitesses automatique ne vous demandais pas votre avis cela dit! 

Je pense qu'une des grandes forces de la H2 a été son compresseur (a air) qui se ressentait tant pas la chaleur du véhicule, le design exterieur des turbines que sa conduite.

Je m'attendais a un peu plus de 200chx à vrai dire, mais sa maniabilité et sa légerté qui ne se laissent pqs soupçonner qu premier coup d'oeil, lui valent tous les éloges. Que du bonheur! 


Premier départ de la H2, un 250cc en follow se tient prêt.

 
Go pro à l'arrière installée

Superbe carrénage, avant simple moderne et insicif.


At the beginning of June I've had an offer from a Taiwanese Motor Bike Magazine for a Test Ride of the  New Kawasaki H2. Thanks to a Taiwanese friend I used to work with in the past.
The bike itself will only been released on July 2015 but the team managed to get it earlier for the review.

With Li Yubin, the friend to how I owe that experience !

That was such a great experience, and my first time riding such a powerful and fast bike. The team was awesome and very professional. We also had a technical problem they could fix in the spot. 流石!



Photo Officielles:
Official Pictures:

About to ride the H2 for the very first time.

With my fellow Taiwanese rider.

A few laps to test the engine.

Supposed to be "the pose of the moment" in Taiwan. :)

Such a great time I've spent. Really wish I'll have the chance to do Sport Modeling again!! ^_^


All the time under the rain, 雨にもマケズ!!(笑)

03/31 NHK's broadcasting 「テレビでフランス語」's kick off !

 Hello everyone ! Sakura time !

This is Olfa, how have you been?
Here comes April, my favorite time of the year, when the weather starts to get warmer, the flowers blooms and the sky turns blue...Okay this is not always true, but let's stick to what our  imagination arbitrarily dictates sometimes.

And I'm sure if you're living in Japan, April is your favorite time of the year too!  Because when I spoke about blooming flowers I was of course referring to the pink Sakura, the cherry-trees blossom, which are famous for turning all Japan pink  at the beginning of the spring.



This is really a blessing to be able to see, even if only for a week, the whole city turned pink by beautiful petals floating at the whim of the wind ....




This beautiful season also marks the starts of studies for the students, work for new employees and it is also a season when people like to kick off new things and try themselves to new challenges!

For this I myself would like to let you know about a new endeavour in my life

Starting from tonight April the 1st 00:00 to 00:25, I'll be presenting the French show (テレビでフランス語) on NHK (NHK Educational on channel 2) and I'm really excited about that !
(Starting on April the 1st does not make it an "April fool" )


An "avant-premiere" from the 3rd episode :)


There will be two broadcatings per week:
◎ Tuesdays evening from 00:00 to 00:25 (so actually Wednesday morning)
◎ Thursday mornings from 06:00 to 06:25!
For the ones abroad, you may also watch on the cable TV, if you're interested (interested in French culture or just out of curiosity.)




Hope you'll enjoy the weather getting warmer!

Cheers !
Love,

Olfa
