Kanji.... kanji.... So many of 'em!

Remember when I told you guys that Kanji was really easy? Well, I spoke too soon. I wouldn't say it is gargantuan in difficulty but if one doesn't really put their heart and effort into it, one will find it very difficult to actually make head or tails of what is going on. All is fine actually... except for the Onyomi and the Kunyomi! Why would one need two different words for the same Kanji? It's quite the daunting task when one has to decipher which one to use.

My expression precisely when I can't make head or tails of what I'm doing!

But, that being said, the complexity of the Kanji renders an innate beauty to the language... Now I know why the Japanese Haiku are phenomenally better than what we "English-speaking" folks try to emulate in a language that is so lacking in finesse as Japanese.

And to know that I am on my way to understand what a Japanese person understands when he sees a waka or a haiku verse... that which is lost in translation... it gives me all the energy I need to get on with my Kanji practice! 

Whatever.... world!

It really is very taxing being an early twenty-something with four score relatives around, trying to avoid marriage talks! And when a very blank wall is looming ahead of you, career-wise, consider yourself doomed! Dooomed I tell you! DOOMED!

But I am not going down without a fight, my dear readers! Oh no! While my parents and the relative bunch are groom-hunting, I shall give my all to finding myself a good lab somewhere in this wide world that will be kind enough to take me in! Oh yes!

Hmmmm.... coming to think of it, I guess I'll let the folks at home do all the work! I, for sure, am the female three dimensional version of Shikamaru from Naruto.... It's all so bothersome! Too bad I'm not a genius like him! Heh...

P.S. I'm even thinking of taking up a job in some research lab! I'm desperate! T_T
