It is still very hot. 

There seems no sign of letting up for a while longer. I can’t believe that such a hot wether continues so long. But no matter how I feel, what is happening does not change. Everything is just going by, regardless of whether I accept it or not.


This morning I got up at 4am and turned on the TV to know that North Korea had just launched something like a ballistic missile again. 

They continues conducting a flight test of a missile (or satellite?) already for a few decades. In opposition to the gravity of what is happening, it happens so often that I am becoming careless. If I had not turned on the TV this morning, I would not know it, which means that nothing has happened in my head. 

But facts are facts. Why do people fight or prepare to fight?


Very recently, a cherished friend passed away.
She was my old friend. I had not seen her face to face for a long time but I was sure that I could share the same feeling with her anytime. 

It is still hard to believe that I lost my important friend. I want to believe that she still lives a happy life far from my town. I want to think that we do not meet up, not to think that we cannot meet again.

The fact cannot be changed though.
