Life Lately in Japan : Packing as a messy person, new beginnings and the art of noticing 🌸

Hello!
It’s currently so humid and hot here and these are clips taken during March to May 2024. Moved to a new apartment and I could say moving is my least favorite thing to do. I don’t want to do it again but I know it will happen in the future (I don’t know when though).
But for now, I’m happy with my current apartment ‘cos it way bigger than my previous one even though the hunting was done in a rush, thankfully I found one that is agreeable.
Obsessed with the Cherry Blossoms and it was the highlight of my spring. For now I’m just surviving summer until autumn comes. Days go by so fast and thankfully had the chance to spend some time with my mother’s side of the family for a weekend and then visited places in Osaka with my mother who came to visit me for the first time.
Those will be up soon after this for sure. Meanwhile, enjoy this video with me which I really enjoyed taking and editing. Watching the clips especially the last part of the sunset and how the sunlight reflects on the water gives me solitude and a sense of peace.
Hoping for your summer to be the best~
~ Joleeen 🍀

    Everyone is special and unique. The first thing I do when I get up is make my bed. It makes me feel like I’m doing something right and starts my day off in a positive way

    I try to do that as well, but there’s just those days when even moving your body gets to be so tiring. Lately though, maybe because it’s summer-I make my bed more than usual and I feel very productive when I do it. Will try my best to keep it up 🫶🏼

    I watched this and I liked it so much I binged all your other videos. You really have a good eye and I love the fact that you are always looking up The simple things like capturing the leaves and trees over the season, the colour of your curtains with the sun pouring in and the shadows on the wall The river scenes were great too. The shot with your bike on the path above the river bank was so Ghibli To top it off the music you play is always so nice and relaxing Maybe aged care is not your true calling ^_^ Thanks for the enjoyable journey and I cant wait to see where it leads next

    Wow, I’m amazed you have those keen observations. It’s nice to meet a fellow observer from time to time. As you’ve pointed out, I really love the river. I like how the sunlight reflects towards the water, calm waves making it magical. I also love to take notice and take clips of mundane things like how the wind blows the curtain at summer when its windy or watching people spending time at the park, or the fish flying out of the water to catch food. I am so blessed to get to have sceneries like these. Most of my video inspiration comes from Ghibli and korean/japanese movies. So far, I enjoy my work as a caregiver. I’ve always loved taking care of the elderly as I haven’t had the chance to do for my grandparents (they were gone too soon). Don’t get me wrong, I still do love my work now 😅. I honestly think it’s my calling along with making art, making videos and taking pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your appreciation. It means a lot to me. I’ll do my best to keep it up and improve. Best wishes to youuu 🎉
