My life is very much about work. In other words, my blog is getting lamer than ever. My brain's too tired so I can't come up with anything new to post. I slept for 3 hours from 3a.m. on Thursday, yesterday. That was the only time I slept for this week. So I only slept 3 hours for the last 6 days. I went to see a doctor earlier today and she prescribed some drugs. I am hoping I will be able to get back on track... The interesting thing is that I don't feel tired and don't fall asleep at all. That's plain weird. Okay, I've done
my bag awhile ago. I thought I'd do it again as I have a different bag. However it's very, you know..., queer and snobby. So I thought I'd do my wallet instead. I took everything out of it and realized I have nothing interesting or unusual. click the photo to see what I have in my wallet now if you happen to care. :-) By the way, I don't do cliche, having a condom in it. :-P Because I don't want a condom circle mark on my fabulous leather wallet. You think I have too much money in my wallet but it's not unusual to have this much in cash here in Japan. When I read a guide book for L.A. or some other foreign cities, they always say "Don't bring too much cash!" It's safe to have much cash here? I don't know... Anyway, I hope your thing has been great and you have a fantabulous weekend!
Wow, is everything ok? You are so sleep deprived! I wouldn't be able to stand right now if I were you. Hopefully you can rest this weekend. I do know what you mean about working too much- I miss out on so many things socially. There are so many times when people call me to ask if I can go out for dinner, drinks, etc and I have to decline since I'm at work sometimes until 10 or 11 :(
To comment on your previous post, that is one cool looking cell phone. I have a decent Samsung one that I got 2 years ago- I hate text messaging and crappy digi cams on US phones, and I also just use it to talk. I mean, it has all the internet features, but I didn't sign up for that plan.
Now go to sleep!
Are you...alright?I;ve been thinking that we cannot live well without sleep..it's one of my happiness..!I can't sleep enough because of the midterm these days,though.
Don't you feel headache or fatigue?That's surprising...It's good to have health,right?But I hope you could go to sleep and have a deep sleep.!
And..it's also interesting to see your wallet.It's similar to mine,but it's like a kind of 'peek';-)
that is a lot of money to have in your wallet! at most, i have CA$120.00 at any given time.
AND YOU NEED TO GET SLEEP!!!!
Shigeki- I think it might be time to see the doctor about some light sleep aids. noone should go so long without sleep. I never have more than $100 US in my wallet. I use AMEX for almost everything including coffee. -Gregg
Hmmmm...Shigeki-chama, I wonder if your sleeplessness is a side-effect of the meds you are taking? Hopefully the new meds you got won't offset the anti-biotics.
Do you always carry 5-en with you for good luck? Or is that only an inaka belief?
is starbucks that popular in japan? I carry that too >_>. suica card makes a lot of sense. in boston we don't even have a stored value card for our public transport system. shocked me when I first came. but I'm used to it now... have a happy weekend!
Lol wow... you have alot of stuff in your wallet... a nice looking one too! I swear mine still look like those used in High School... But on another note, a medicine that does not make you tired? O.o
That's really weird... never thought there would be such a drug... but that would means less sleep for you again! >.
Shigeki, I'm not gonna say anything about your lack of sleep anymore...it's all been said already! Just take care of yourself, alright?
BTW is that a Tod's wallet? I'm not sure but the logo looks really familiar. It's sure as hell expensive, i think I can safely say.
AND you're a Citibank Platinum card holder. You're rich, fabulous and hot. Where do I sign on the marriage cert?
Suika! Suika! Tabetai! lol I can only imagine the kind of advertising they have for this watermellon-card!
Our suica cards over here were originally used for paying high way tols but now we can use them for parkin and riding the trains etc. And ur blog isnt getting lamer. Hugs.
now it's the weekend, shigeki, so get some sleepy already!
you're one loaded, fabulous man, shigeki! can i come running to you if i fall short of money if my trip to tokyo pushes through? hahaha! kidding!
still lovin' your blog. cheers!
Hey Shigeki,
I don't mean to approve your sleeping habits but could you share the secret with me on how to stay up for 6 straight days with only 3 hours of sleep, whilst still capable of thinking straight (not to mention, your capabilities in still updating your fantastic blog in these circumstances) ?
I need some tips on that cause I've got a final exam coming my way :)
Anyway, is your wallet by COACH ? I know Coach is pretty big in Japan & your wallet looks nice
God, I'm always sleep deprived too! How did we get this way!
But anyway, hey, get a condom for your wallet! You just never know who you might bump into. Not that fun a situation to walk around 7-11s looking for condoms.. kills the mood. Trust me, I know.

Hi FashMagSlag,
thanks very much. I was able to function at work like a robot alright for the last 5 days but something strange happened to me. :-) Thank God, I am finally back to be a human being. I know how you feel about declining more interesting stuff for yourself. I hope it won't happen to you too much!. Have a great weekend!
Hi Leigh,
Thank you. I am now alright. I thought I was but I obviously wasn't. :-) I didn't feel headache or fatigue but I was less emotional and non-human being like. I think I will be able to sleep a lot tonight. That's comforting finally. :-) Thanks for stopping by and being a sweetheart.. You have a great evening!
HI Raph,
It's not that unusual to have this much as we don't really use credit cards for groceries and many things. Cash is happening here more.. I don't know why but.... Thanks for stopping by and you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Gregg,
I actually went to see a doctor yesterday and got some prescribed pills but they didn't work much.... You see I have never had that much when I lived in the States but it's pretty not surprising more than 300 dollars in cash here... :-) I CAN't use AMEX for a coffee. :-) You have a fantastic weekend!
Hi GaijinGirl,
I didn't even take meds until yesterday after seeing a doctor. :-) I think thinking of who to fire, how to deliver the news made me stay awake that much... It was one of the most stressful moments I ever had in my life! OH! I forgot about that!!! I know that's happening for older people but I don't think we do that thing anymore... :-) I just had a 5 yen coin because I got it for some change. :-) I know I've heard of it but I didn't even carry that for luckiness. :-) That's so grandmother's wisdom. Thanks for stopping by and you have a great day!
Hi Tiptup,
Oh yeah, Starbucks is so popular here in Japan. Not as popular as it is in Seattle though.... Suica is for people who are in a hurry and I think we all are in a hurry all the time here. :-) You see there is a cellular phone that works exactly like a suica card. You don't have to have a ticket. You just need an IC card embedded cellular phone to go through the gate of the train station. :-) that's so Japanese. :-) You have a fantastic weekend!
Hi Chris,
Hehehe. it's not as much as you might think as I have no "membership" cards in this wallet. I have another card case for them. :-) I was hoping the prescribed drugs would help me falll asleep but they didn't... I don't know. I might have been very very stressed. Anyway, I am better and good. Thanks. You have a marvelous weekend!
Hi Will,
I think I will have less problems with my sleep hopefully. :-) Tod's wallet? I've never seen one of those...... I am not familiar with brands.... as being opposed to being an expert in that arena like you. :-) It's Coach's. You found that platinum part? Damn. You are good. Well, I heard Citibank's Platinum card is not hard to get it at all. really. If you are a gold card member for one year, you will be invited to sign up for the platinum ultimately. That's what I heard from a friend of mine. I am not sure if that's true as they don't really lay out what qualifications are. But it's not as fancy as AMEX's black card for sure. :-) I am not rich. really. At least, you will be so much rich anyway!!!! Have a fantabulous weekend!
HI AJ,
Hehehehe. I think Suika's season has ended here in Japan. I don't own a TV so I am not sure how they advertised it.... :-) That's so kewl that you have an IC card over there, too. I like IC card but the problem is it's hard to see how much I have for the remaining... I can't look at it right away unless I insert it to the machine... You have a fantastic weekend!
Hi Mark,
Thank you. I think I will be able to tonight. That's comforting really. :-) It's indeed the weekend. :-) I love it. But I think I am gonna have to go back to work to catch up with something I have missed today. Damn. but that's going to be alright as long as I can remember how to say things. :-) I am all good. thanks for visiting as always and you have a gooooood weekend. :-)
Hi Jason,
Hehehe. Well, when I was a college student, I did something stupid to keep myself awake. There were pills for concentrated caffeine. They worked pretty good. But you see my primary reason why I couldn't sleep was from the stress I got at work. Like thinking of whom to fire and sort of things... so I don't think you can really apply that to your life.... Sorry.
You are good. It's coach indeed. I looooooove it. :-) Don't study too much. Get boozed once in a while! Have a mind-blowing weekend!
Hi Paul,
I am trying to get back on track and I am not sure if it's doable but I will see how I can sleep for decent hours. :-) Are you enjoying your Istanbul trip still? Wow, I am envious. :-)
Welll, I have condoms in my bag so I am all good. I just don't want a condom mark on my wallet. :-) You have a fantabulous weekend!
ohh…nice post but really?/? :P
