September 2007 Archives

I actually came back to Tokyo several times during the monk thingies which I will explain in detail later this month or next month as another post to have interviews for a job. My original plan was that I wouldn't work til next Spring because I wanted to have a year off. At the same time, I really thought about what my job would be next. There isn't much I could do except for the nerdy work I'd been doing... Eventually, I will have to get a job if I don't get a sugar daddy or a jackpot winning. Also, I didn't wanna be too rusty. So I thought I was going to work for awhile as a contractor. But the job agency introduced this permanent position in IT department at this company. I didn't want it that bad. But after researching on the company I was applying, I really liked their philosophy. So I thought "Well, working for a year here wouldn't be too bad". Besides, no more crazy hours :-) Technically, it may not be as challenging as previously ergo more boring but I can study on my own in my spare time :-) After the third interview, I got the offer letter. I think I am going to take it. The more I researched on the company, the more I wanted to work. The interesting thingy is this is the very first time that I work for the company that sells things to personal consumers. The field is apparel. How gay can it get? I will see how it goes. When I told my friends I'd work here from autumn, they went "You are not good at folding clothes." Well, I am not going to be one of those guys though. After all, I cannot change my career path is what I realized because 1. I like nerdy work like this. 2. I cannot do anything else. 3. I am not married so that I cannot be a stay-at-home dad. Anyway, yes, so jobless days will be over soon. I am excited and sad at the same time :-) You have a pretty weekend!

Hello. How are you doing? I hope you are doing fantabulous. My monk days are over. But it was a very hard/worthwhile/I-don't-wanna-do-it-again time of my life. It was great but I will never do it again :-) The most difficult thing about this training was when I had to squat/ kneel and touch the floor with my forehead and pray 300 times every morning. I literally cried in bed when my legs hurt like mother fudger due to muscle aches. But I did learn many things including that I could never be a monk permanently. I am finally going back to Tokyo tomorrow. One thing I'd love right now is breathe polluted air in Tokyo as everything is so clean here. (The photo was taken near the temple and there is nothing around except for foxes and raccoons.) Isn't that weird? BTW, unfortunately, the traffic to my website hasn't decreased as I wanted. I might have to upgrade the monthly traffic capability or leave it for a little more whlie. Anyway, I might have to run a lot of errands and will have to figure out a lot of things before going back to a normal life. So I will re-start blogging from the end of this month. :-) Anyway, this is my pre-announcement that I will start blogging again later this month (30?) and to let you know I still exist and turned 32 alright :-) Thanks for checking out this boring site still. :-) I pray for your peace and health even though my prayer isn't that helpful (I am sure it's a lot better than the one I would have prayed before the training in July:-) .Anyway, thanks for the comments in the previous post but I cannot reply right now as I still feel funny blogging here again. Have a peaceful week! Love ya.
