what i enjoy here


  • free lunch and dinner in the office (means tipid sa meal allowance). by walking home, natitipid ko din ung transpo allowance ko.


  • spending money to enjoy myself using the allowance they gave me. (hindi sana ko maglalabas ng sarili kong money but there's just so many things hard to resist na bilin. d ko na lang alam kung makakabili pa ako ng electronics dito at mukhang mag nnegative balance na ko.)


  • pedestrians won't have to worry getting run over by vehicles. talagang titigil at titigil sila for you. and, everyone follows the stop light.


  • trains and buses follow schedules. may oras talaga kaya alam mo wat time ka gigising para sa anong sched. there's no way na malalate ka dito. and in case malate ka because of tech problems sa train, pwede ka kumuha ng slip para ipakita sa office.


  • girls and boys in uniform. i love their uniforms. although d ko gusto na they go to school 1 whole week.


  • their fashion. skirts and boots. chucks. tote bags on guys! cute/pretty haircuts on girls. they don't stare at you when kahit ano pa suot mo.


  • the temples, the parks, the geishas (real geishas!!). it's nice that they were able to preserve them. (kyoto used to be the capital of japan. if you wanna see city life go to tokyo, if you wanna see real japanese culture, go here.) dami tuloy tourists (not many filipinos though, in fact wala pa ata kong nakikita).


  • ang linis. un na yun.


xs: kulit, i haven' seen any tenjou manga here. kahit nde translated, wala e. pero try ko pa din.
carrots, bags with prints na gaya ng gusto mo, ala din. or nde pa ako nakakakita lang? i'll try my luck this sunday, k?

You walk home alone?

Seeing how chaotic things are here, even I have to admit that Japan's discipline sounds so endearing.

BOOTS!!!!! 'nuff said. ;p

Misty-poo, btw, am reading a Samurai novel for research. Ang GANDA. You want next?

tenjou: Aww. S'okay, though. :D

hi gnet! i just read your entries. I didnt go to work yesterday coz i'm sick. Damn! I have gastric ulcer na! (waaah la na ata ako pag-asa pumayat) and i'm anemic. I'm getting my blood smear results later (hope wala akong malalang sakit).

Lam mo same kayo ni Josh na sinabi about Japan! may isa daw dun na sobrang na amaze siya. Yung construction daw ng road.... pag may konting crack lang daw sa road aayusin daw nila kaagad tapos sa gabi daw nila inaayos yun tapos kinabukasan ayus na hehe...ayun lang naman...

BTW, did you get my e-mail??? and about the bag its okey whatever bag will do basta galing sa japan hahahahaha joking!
