so I've been babysitting this engineer from the headquarters. Apparently, he doesn't like it here at all. I am kinda sad that my home city is not interesting enough for him to explorer. He basically comes to work and goes back to his hotel and doesn't do anything outside. I invited him to the fancy dinner earlier this evening to enlighten him without soysauce coffee. Unfortunately, we had a mild earthquake. It wasn't serious but it would be surely scary for people who'd experience it for the first time in their lives. After that
little episode, he immediately called the airlines and changed his flight from Saturday to tomorrow. The earthquake scared the crap out of him. Really? He is too straight to be a drama queen.... not a cute drama queen for sure. I'd hug him for his comfort. But I COULDN'T as he is not cute and criticizes every single task of mine. I actually should thank to the earthquake. I'd be delighted to take him to the airport tomorrow. Why did he come here by the way? I so do not know.... Anyway, the earthquake was just mild. (Agree, Ian?) and I am still working. The rain has finally stopped. What a peaceful night even if I have to work still... I feel fabulous because this non-cute straight engineer will be gone tomorrow. Too bad, I should have done one more trick on him though... You have a fantabulous Wednesday!
地震が恐いんだ.
彼はイケメンじゃない？
残念、残念！
頑張ってね、茂樹くん！
まだ、かれしはいないの
Whoopee! Thank god he's gone! He soooo deserves more than a soysauce coffee - that whiny little bitch! I am so hating him since he didn't even try to explore your city when he easily got the chance to. While here I am (or WAS), fought my way to be able to spend six (six! only six) days in your beautiful city, and I got denied, without giving me any reasons whatsoever. Ugh! I am gonna apply again and again and again until I'd be able to step foot in Tokyo! Promise! :-)
Funny episode here isn't ? The drama queen of yours is not so hot shit anyway! scared of earthquakes! hahahaha....you should spread a rumour back to your HQ that he was shitless when the earthquake occured and he simply lost his nerve (which is true anyway!), I did not feel the earthquake! Either I was too stressed at work or the earthquake was not felt there (which is in Minato-ku) !
I was at Shinjuku this evening and tried my first Yebisu beer! Not bad,.....quite tasty really! Later when up to Keio Plaza Hotel and saw the view from up there. Tokyo is nice city and there are a lot of things to do here...so you poor drama queen has definitely missed out on the good stuff here! :-)
You have so many earthquakes there!
It is my DREAM to go to Japan someday. Alas, my husband does not share that dream, so I don't know if it shall ever come to pass! :(
What am idiot that engineer was! You so should have done more to him than just "soy sauced" his coffee!
Cheers!
you mean you weren't behind the earthquake? how bout one last prank before he leaves? :)
shigeki- I don't know why he would freak out so much. We have earthquakes here every so often -gregg
Yah so anyone who comes from away (as we say here in Canada) and doesn't explore where they are visiting is a complete and utter dickhead - and not worth your time.
Hello Shigeki!
Do you still remember the song I mentioned to you, "Keep Young & Beautiful", from Annie Lennox? I just happened to come across her website. This is a wicked site and it's beautifully designed!
Go to www.annielennox.co.uk
Once you're in, proceed to "Music", then click on "Diva" album. Select track 11!
Enjoy the song!!! ;-)
Hi Seishi,
That's great that you can write Japanese but this blog's primary language is English dude.... Have a good afternoon!
Hi Mark from Manila,
Oh yes, he is very gone. I am glad he is gone. I thought he'd go back to the office tomorrow but it turns out he is having some vacation in L.A. before heading back home on a corporate budget!!! They didn't even give you a reason why you couldn't get it? That's so wrong!!! and I am paying a lot of taxes to them!!! damn it, where should I file a complaint report??? Wait, I already did that for you. Have a fantabulous evening!
Hi Ian,
Well, I think he is not worth the rumor at all so I am not gonna do anything about it. I am pretty sure he will get canned pretty soon. :) You didn't feel the "Shindo 3" earthquake? huh... That's interesting. And you work in Minato-ku. How fancy. You are a fancy expat no matter what you say. :) My favorite is always Sapporo Black Label. :) Yebisu is alright but it's too thick for me... Did you see me waving across the street from the hotel? hehehe. Oh yes, Tokyo is absolutely a nice city! Yay! Don't drink too much. :)
Hi Mush,
It's because Japan is the country of earthquakes. They are inevitable. :) If you don't see my blog updated anymore after the major earthquake, it probably means I am dead or Internet-less... have a fantastic day!
HI Hanuman,
Well, Japan is not as far as you might think. But when I made a biz trip to Boston... oh wow... what a long flight. :) I hope your dream comes true as Japan is not a bad country to visit. Beautiful places and tech gadgets. :) I actually did something else to him earlier today when I took him to the airport. I wasn't nice.... But he deserved it. :) You have a wonderful morning!
Hi Tiptup,
I did take your suggestion and did something really bad to him. Though I acted dumb when he found out I was fooling around with him so he didn't know for sure I was doing the last prank.. I didn't say "you are pranked!" :) You have a good day!
Hi Gregg,
Oh, Boston gets earthquakes as well? I didn't know that. :) he was acting like he got it for the first time. :) But I am glad the earthquake hit Tokyo last night. :) You have a splendid morning!
Hi Mark from I don't know what city.....
Welcome to the site and thank you for your e-mail. It's always nice to have someone new. :) Well, he complained a lot about Tokyo. How expensive things are... stuff like that. Welll, at least, Tokyo is no longer the most expensive city. :-) Oslo is. I hope he will never come back here for his biz trip. :) You have a fantabulous morning!
Seishi,
Thanks for the link. I will check it out after I took a bath.
What did you do to him, Shigeki?!!
Hi Tim,
We had Sushi for the last meal at the airport. I made a particular request for his Sushi. Wasabi on his sushi was twice as much since he told me he loved Wasabi very much. Apparently, he literally struggled from the "pain" :) I am glad he truly enjoyed his wasabi. :)
