like a firework 花火のように
３月１６日～１９日 Day 20 in the Philippines
３月１６日 寮から徒歩１５分MetroWalkで２０人規模の最大飲み会。
I went to the biggest drinking session so far, with 20 other people,
15-20 minute walk away flom the dormitory.
俺とケンゴ君で「和食を食べよう！」でフライヤーまで作って企画したんだけど、
Kengo and I made a flyer about eating at a Japanse restaurant.
交通量の多さに阻まれ断念。やむなく近場のいつもの場所に・・・。
But because of bad traffic,our plans were cancelled and
we ended going to Metrowalk, where we always go.
毎週誰かがやってきて、毎週誰かが去っていく。それがフィリピン留学。
Evry week students come, but every week students also leave.
って事で毎週金曜日は必ず飲んでるよね 笑
So every Friday we go out and drink.
やっぱTGIはパーッと遊ばないと！！
T.G.I.F. Let’s celebrate!
３月１８日 ケンゴ君とタカシ君が教会に興味があるというので、近くのエドサチャーチでミサに参加してきました。
Kengo and Takash were interested in the church, so I took them to attend a mass at Edsa Shrine.
さて、話しはその中間の３月１７日土曜日。
This is talks about what happened between those two days, on the 17th.
今日はアジア最大級を誇る、超大型モール「SM Mall of Asia」で世界の花火を競う大会の最終戦。
There was a firework competition at the Mall of Asia, the biggest mall in all of Asia.
超激込みのどこにいるのかわからないモールで数時間時間を潰し
We spent a few hours in the mall, which was so crowded, that I had trouble knowing where I was.
ケンゴ＆タカシ君と海の前の席に陣を張り、のんびりと花火開始を待ちます。。。
Kengo, Takashi and I waited for the fireworks to begin, while sitting by the seaside.
花火見てると「人の人生みたいだな～」と、ふと、思った。
As I watched the fireworks, they seemed alive to me.
それぞれの花火が、それぞれのタイミングで美しく咲き誇り、そして散っていく。
Each time, there was a beautiful explosion, and then it was all gone.
一発の花火って一瞬でしょ？人の人生も似たようなものだと思うんだよね。
Just like life, the span of each life is only a mere moment the universe.
「一度しかない人生ならば、ドカンとでっかい火花を散らせ」
You only live once, so make your life your own extraordinary firework.
人と比べず、流されず。あくまでいつも自分らしく。
Don’t compare yourself to or get influenced by others, just be your self.
