January 2008 Archives

My blog was abandoned was abandoned coz.....
1... I had to go to the States on business unexpectedly last week. It was a busy week. I had to work crazy. I thought I didn't have to go on a biz trip at all for this company! But then, I am so sure that the number of biz trips I have to deal with is a lot smaller than when I had to work for the previous company so I should be grateful.
2... Because of the bad jet lag (yes, I am old...), I didn't go out after work when I was on the trip last week. Once, I went to a bar and it was Karaoke night! Yay. I sang in front of 200 or so people. Of course, I sang our homo anthem, Freedom by Wham. I didn't get booed :) Yes, the drunk asian guy who sang up there was me. haha.
3... And I had to work the weekend last weekend as well.
4... I had to go to Seoul for a day trip last Monday and it was a day biz trip. I hate it that Seoul is so close to Tokyo now... I cannot even stay there.
5... And yesterday because of hard work schedule and all, my fever went up to 40 degrees C/ 104 degrees F last night. I couldn't get a day off today due to this specific task I had to take care of. What made this worse is it was snowing earlier today! Since we didn't have snow last winter, I guess this is the usual winter in Tokyo. It's freaking cold today! along with the bad fever, I thought I'd die.... But I feel better than yesterday...brrrrrr.
6... and I have to work this weekend as well :-(
On the other hand, you take good care of yourself! Stay healthy!

1... So this is where I have been coming instead of the usual office. Many geeks like me have to update their skills by going through class room training. Since I am going to handle something I am not familiar with, I am required to attend the training this week. What's ridiculous about this is that it costs 300,000 Yen for a week long class for this system. = US$ 2,737 = 1,864 Euros (wow, JPY is so weak against European currencies!!). Of course, my company pays that. But I still find it ridiculous. And I am wondering if there is any way I can get out of this field since I am fed up with taking lots of classes like this but cannot do anything else for a living. Sugar daddy? or Jackpot? where is it? hehe. I know life's hard. :)
2... It turns out we might have snow on Saturday this week. Snow won't do when I have to wear something pretty for a wedding party. (Not mine if you happen to wonder in any case). At the same time, since we only had one short hour for snow last season, I am kinda looking forward to it. Wait, should I have the second thoughts? I cannot decide....
3... Have you ever burped when you are in the middle of kissing? Have you? Don't do it. Try to hold it under any circumstances! However, I have done something a lot worse than that in college when I was kissing. :) I will let your imagination take care of the rest.
4... I haven't sketched on my blog recently like I used to because I got hard critiques a mild case of inflammation of the tendon sheath by jerking off too much typing too much on the geeky terminal...according to the hot doctor I went to see yesterday.
5... Have a wonderful weeeeeeeekend!!

Is taking a photo of bills illegal? Or was that photocopying? I forgot. Either way, I hope I am not violating any Japanese laws or international ones. so I modified a photo. Anyway, this is the photo of 2000 Yen Bill = US$18.27 = 12.46 Euros. This is the newest bill and probably the least used bill of all the bills here in Japan. FYI, we have 1,000 Yen, 5,000 Yen, 10,000 Yen bills in addition to this. These are very much used but since 2000 Yen Bill was firstly printed 3 years ago, we are not still used to this, and it's not widely used. A lot of vending machines don't accept them. While the design is very old traditional Japanese (as you can see, it's from the drawing in the 8th century), this is so useless. So when I get 2000 Yen bills as part of change at a cashier, this is like an uninvited guest and I feel "geez" on some levels. I am sure many of us feel the same way when we get it. Why was this made? Because the prime minister who passed away thought it was a very good idea to print the new bills to boost the economy at that time. (I am so embarrassed by saying this even) While it's beautiful on the outside, it may not be useful or not pretty on the inside. That's a very common known thing on this planet even though we tend to forget that? So, this is like a very hunky beautiful porn star who screams so loudly when he shoots but he doesn't shoot much. more like dribbling. Boy, isn't it sad? I hope you got my point :) Have a wonderful Thursday!

1... I read an article the other day that checking e-mail before going to bed is equivalent to drinking two espressos. So you sleep light and it's not good for your rest. Huh... I always check my e-mail before going to bed. I totally sleep deeply. But then I am the one who can sleep right after having an americano. Am I fucked up?
2... I read somewhere that the more you ejaculate sperm, the less risk you get prostate cancer. I have no idea if that's true but yes, I can now say "I am jerking off at least once a day because of prostate cancer prevention" Unfortunately, there is no one to help me out for that prevention at the moment. huh..
3... Jerking off is fantabulous but you know what's better than that? From today, as my "it won't last so long" new year's resolution, I started to join Hot Yoga class. Which is to do a yoga class session in a heated room. It literally is hell when you are doing it but after you are done, it's super refreshing like right after multiple orgasms. really..
4...BTW, for the holiday campaign, 24 out of 40 applicants let me know via comment/e-mail that they got the package. I am not sure if 16 other applicants are still waiting or have received the package but didn't get back to me(ouch!)... I triple-checked the addresses though. Since it's not an express mail, there is no way for me to track the package unfortunately. If you applied and haven't gotten it, I am sorry. Something must have gone wrong.... :-( I hope everyone has received it though.
Have a gorgeous day!! (Make it gorgeous if it doesn't appear to be so.... :) Peace!

The date is still the 4th here but it's the 5th. So I treat this post as dated 5th :) Anyway, it's only a weekend trip so I didn't have a lot of time and didn't bring my usual digital camera so this is all I can get so far. I am now relaxing in my hotel room watching TV 2 (duex) and trying to catch the words I know :) Have a wonderful 1st week of Year 2008!!!

Lonely planet and Wikipedia English don't probably cover this so I thought I'd share :) I know it's not exciting but as always said, this is about non-exciting scribbles :) Happy new year! BTW, the custom we do for the slide #9 has been practiced widely since the 8th century according to Wikipedia. Isn't it super cool? Don't get me wrong. I am not being an ethnocentrist. I am just trying to show what we do in our country :) Thanks.

The color, gray, is also called "The color of the rat" in Japanese. Ergo, it's gray even though I like blue. :) I thought I'd change the scheme even though I really like that blue I used to have for more than 2 years on this site :) But I didn't update the "about me" page except for the photo. Anyway, it's year 2008 here already. I am sure a lot of this world at the moment is still year 2007 but :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
