Hello, there. It's been a while since I posted my last entry. ( Not again!! sigh..) Anyway, let me update you on what's happening in my life.
Well, as you might know, my boyfriend Gori and I are now in Brisbane, staying at his auntie's unit, which is sort of like an apartment in Japan. We've been here for about a month now. His aunt is a nice and open-minded person, who is very caring and charming. I really admire her. She is generous and kind enough to let us stay at her place until we find our own place in Brisbane. Gori and I were very lucky and blessed not only because we can stay at her place but also because we got to have this place to ourselves since she went on a month trip to Europe and China soon after we moved in . She just came back yesterday.
In our first plan, we were going to find a place to live and move out before she came back. But we haven't even gotten a place yet. We are struggling. We have been trying very hard to get one but there must be lots of competitions going on since a lot of people are looking for a place to live. And also our application form is not looking spectacular because the last rental we had was back in Japan, which is difficult for Aussie real estate agents to get a confirmation of our rental. And Gori has been working full time for about 2 weeks now but there is this bloody one and a half months period when he didn't work( from the late December to the early February )so it's difficult for us to prove that we have a stable income. It is very depressing that things haven't been going as we wanted and planed but it is not that it is the end of the world or we don't have any hope. His aunt knows about real estate stuff pretty well and she says she is happy to help us get through this problem. She says she knows somebody who might give us some tips. Last night she went to see him for a drink but we haven't had a chance to talk to her since then so hopefully she will inform us today. I really hope we get a place to live as soon as possible. This place is good but I really want to have our own place and settle down. Fingers crossed!!
