The weekend for me didn't seem to be all that free. Yet another day of another important event to attend! Today was the most important event that I was ever interested in attending with my childhood friends Sachi and Rena, and it is organized by the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO)! An annual event is always held for students who are interested in pursuing future careers, studies, and much more.

Among my friends, Sachi is to graduate next year and followed by me then Rena. We were a bit sad and gloomy during that day knowing that this might be the last time we will all as a trio be able to hang out together, but since all of us are planning to pursue Japan together then I'm sure it's never goodbye :D

We finally entered the building and headed over to the hotel it was being held at. The place was super luxurious and the hall was quite huge to say the least. All of the participating universities, colleges, and institutions were all set with translators for ease. We went separate ways to match up our interests. I wasn't sure what I was to even pursue anymore till I found one college that really had everything I had ever dreamt of.

The translator along with Rena (Note that both Sachi and Rena are Half Thai-Japanese) helped me understand what the requirements to this college were. Mejiro Fashion and Arts College seemed to be the place just for me, I do plan to consider other colleges soon but this one really caught my attention.

After hanging around the event one of Sachi had to go to the weekend market where she works full time at her shop. Me and Rena said our goodbyes and headed to see some clothes and shop around and just chat! We picked out really cute K-pop inspired outfits and talked about our day. We then sat at a really small but nice cafe where we ordered spaghetti and even were shocked that this particular cafe even offers free slices of bread as a complimentary for free (*≧∀≦*)!! After an exhausting day we then returned home, even if Sachi graduates I promised Rena that we'll still be close and find our future together >w<
