Eternity.

I thought it meant "ice"「氷」when I saw this in the wrapping of one White Day presents.
My reading was wrong: It means Eternity.

Today, was one of those days that remark the power of small gestures. 14th March is Howaito De so your co-workers and lover are supposed to bring some nice chocolate for you (because you gave them something a month ago, in Valentine's).

It's not 「I received something」 but more of 「I cannot carry all this home!」 Seriously, receiving so many cute things was really touching. Thanks a lot, everyone. Everyday details, are more meaningful than what we often think.

Actually, the Eternity kanji was actually drawn by our manager's wife - the one to thank for, giving me a chance in Japan. Handmade by a non-japanese, twice as special.

Today, was also one of those days that make you reconsider the way you go through life.

Let's do a small exercise. Imagine that:
- You got married last year, with the person you've loved since the past 15.
- Early 30s, good job, thinking about having a baby.
- You got an annoying eccema. Doctors cannot find a root cause or cure for.
- But that annoying eccema, ends up becoming a sign for a deadly illness.
- There is no cure. You are dead in less than 5 years.

So at this point...
What do you do? Would you continue to live your life in the same way?
Would you quit your job, move somewhere, or just stay with those you love most?

May sound as a Hollywood movie, but the worse is that it is real. As the air you're breathing.
Now, the key thing here is why should you live your life as if this wasn't your last day?

Mankind reading is often wrong too, when taking life as eternity.
