My new life is started!

After living in the Philippines for 1 and half year working in a network NGO AsiaDHRRA, http://asiadhrra.org/ I came back to Japan at last!
And now I started my new life in Japan in new place.
I moved into this place just a few days ago to start my new job.
I started to work in Ainou-kai which is a japanese NGO promoting organic agriculture.
http://www.ainou.or.jp/
(Sorry only Japanese page is available)
I was assigned as a editor and layoutor of their monthly issued magazine "AINO".
("Ai" means Love and "No" means Agriculture)

What I realized after staying here for a few days is that skill and knowledge as editor and layoutor is not a big matter for working here.
The most imprtant thing to work here is to understand their spirit and believe in and love it from the bottom of my heart.
Either when I write articles, build a plan for contents or layout each article, everything have to be the expression of Ainou-spirit.
And to do that, I need to deeply unserstand it and love it.
I am a parson tend to see things from a distance and always tends to be critical of it.
I am not good at believing in something without having any doubt.
(Even to myself. This is my biggest challenge in my life so far to change.)
The question now is if I can do that or not.

As my friend said, things are hard at the beginning.
This time I am having more difficulty to adjust than the time I started my new life in the Philippines.

I am now really missing my life in the Philippines, my house, my friends, warm and happy people and hot weather there.

It will take time to build my life here, but I am gonna do that little by little,
As a starter, now I am trying to make my house very comfortable one.
May be after sometime, I can open my small caffeteria there named "forest caffe" with good coffe and tea and music.
It's opened only when I am there at home.
On the wall there are nice pictures or my favorite drawings and cloths are hang.
(Now on the wall so many spider webs are, hehe, I am living with so many big to small spiders. :-)
I just open the place to everyone who drop by and have nice time together.

In one year, I am sure this place will be a place that I will miss when I have to leave here as the Philippines became so.
