1... Hello. From today, I have resumed my blog. I will keep blogging as I used to. The details about my monk days will be presented this weekend. Stay tuned if there is still any visitor :)
2... I only have about a month til I start working. I surely miss my jobless days. I thought I was going to be jobless for a year but instead, it is 7 months. But I got this fantabulous opportunity to work for a company I really liked (especially their philosphy).I know there were some people who got fired because they were too revealing. So I will not mention the name of the company. It's an american apparel company. That's it. I will let your imagination take care of the rest. :-) FYI, nope. I will not be one of those in the shop to say "Oh your ass looks fabulous in them!". I will be a nerd still :-)
3... After fantabulous dinner with friends last night, I drove back to my place. Ergo, no booze. I got pulled over by cops. One of them reached me and asked me to roll down the window. He went "Please let me smell your breath." It was a casual checkpoint for under the influence. He approached and his nose was a few inches away from my mouth. I was like "Seriously?" When I was about to exhale, I burped by accident.. I am so sure he captured every essence of my garlicky breath followed by onions. He immediately stood back... It was an accident... In my defense, how primitive for them it was!!!. I thought Japan was good at inventing stuff! They should've used the detector... On a side note, I am glad the cop was not hot so I didn't have to kiss him instead.
Thanks for visiting the non-exciting site again! Have a fantabulous week!
Hey Shigeki san! Welcome back! I am missing Japan after nearly 10 months back in Singapore and am also missing your blog! :-)
Hahahahahaha! Poor cop. :D Can't wait for the next update!
(1) yay!
(2) i love the subtlety! good luck in your new job! :D
(3) it is odd how they actually asked to smell your breath. they should have used the detector to actually determine how much alcohol there was in your bloodstream. what is the minimum amount of alcohol can you have in your bloodstream in japan?
Hah! The cop got what he deserved. Smelling your breath seems a little... strange. Glad you are back. Jobless days are fun, aren't they? I had only a month and it went by way too quickly. I imagine, though, that being a monk was not exactly like being jobless.
:-)

hey there Shigeki, nice to see your back, hope the job goes well.
Good luck on your new job. Maybe we, the blogger, will say "Oh your ass looks fabulous in them!" after you wear your new company product. LOL.
Cheers.
Shigeki- that is a very strange way of doing a breathalyser test. I can't image a cop doing that here. Good to see you back from monkhood :-) -I missed your blog -gregg
welcome back! *smooches*
the important questions for the new job are "Will you be getting a fabulous employee discount?" and "If so, will you be sharing that discount with your favorite blog-readers?"
Nicely done..sunrise on the horizon..new beginning! Cool.
The cop breath test...can't stop laughing..you sure u burped by accident?!
Have a great day!
So glad to read your kicky writings, and see this halloween edition again!
take care*
Welcome back Shigeki-san!
Glad to see that you're posting again!
I have changed names and blogs once again. Come visit me!

Hi Ian,
Thank you very much. What particular thing do you miss about? Aren't you sweet to say things like that? :-) You have a pretty day!
Hi Logan,
Well, it was a natural cause :-) You have a pretty day!
Hi Raph,
I guess they want to do that way to shorten the time and if they smell alcohol, they take the device out for further exam.. I know recently, Japan passed the updated very strict law for DUI. And I had to look up. If the blood-alcohol content is 0.15mg-0.25mg (which is usually a lot less than a glass of beer), you will get 6 points and the driving license will be revoked for 30 days if you are the first timer. Separately, you will be charged 1 year or less jail time or you will have to pay less than 300,000 YEN = US$ 2554 = 1812 Euros. You will be doomed if the BAC is above 0.25mg. :-) I hope this answers your question. You have a pretty day!
Hi TK,
I saw him doing for every single car passing that point. I am sure he doesn't like what he is doing. I feel sorry for him. Yeah, jobless days are fun but I realized you get to be too lazy :-) is what I realized. I am sure I will have another jobless time sometime :-) You have a pretty day!
HI James,
Thank you very much. I hope the job is not killing me. :-) You have a pretty day!
Hi Lifebook,
Thank you very much. Hehehe. To be completely honest, I am not a big fan of one of the lables they carry :-) The other one, yeah, I do like :-) You have a pretty day!
Hi Gregg,
Yeah, it is. Isn't it? But I am sure they didn't wanna use a breathalyser test for every single car passing by so I kinda could understand. Thank you very much. YOu have a pretty day!
Hi Vuboq,
Thank you very much! Yes, to answer your question, I will get 50% discount on two labels they carry. The first 6 items will be 50% off. The 7th item will be 30% off. According to the thing I got :-) You have a pretty day!
Hi Sgx,
Thank you very much. I thought it was beautiful so I uploaded it for no apparent reason actually :-) Yes, I did burped by accident. I cannot do that on purpose :-) You have a pretty day!
Hi Legih,
Thank you very much! But kicky writings? :) hehehehe. I was going to create a different version but then I didn't have a time so I recycled the one I used last year. :-) You have a pretty day!
Hi Kirin,
Thank you very much. I will update the link. I am glad you are back again after the big announcement :-) Yay.
