Waiting

As the clock ticks I wait until the my final day comes, as I wait I can't help but think of the date and one sentence said many years ago on, "You are about to embark on a great crusade", while I do not equate myself to those whom these words are addressed to these words still ring true, if I loose this one last push I will be left with nothing.

Departing....again

As I pack my bags again I realized that I have to leave a few things behind, then as I look around those things my thoughts wander to my former work colleagues, my niece, my cats, friends and other people that I will leave behind. This isn't the first and it wouldn't be my last time....One last look. 

Chapter 3

So I was told my student visa was granted today, suffice to say I was relieved, soon I won't have to deal with religious ignoramus shouting over the speaker, traffic jams, and smog filled air. Will there be anything I miss? naturally, the cheap prices of some things and a handful of people but other than that I'm glad.

This will be a new chapter for me in this journey called life, it will be different and it will be the same, I will meet with new people and familiar faces, somethings I will do differently and others will be the same but one thing for sure it's going to be something.

Self realization

There are a things that people have as a result of a certain trait they possess or lack and there are things that people will not have because of the same reasons. After studying so long about human and social behavior I'm able to objectively judge myself as an individual and realized a few things about myself; my character flaws, strength and all that revolves around myself as a person and have come to this conclusion.

Denying a possibility is much less disappointing than being denied the possibility

Because some risks are just not worth taking and when it comes down to it I'm a little more possessive than most.

One hundred and one dancing yellow daffodils

I've been in virtual solitary confinement for the last couple of months with only less than a handful of people to interact with, my computer, Cable TV and a recently bought Nintendo DS. I have this to say, I've slipped my mind, I've gone over the edge and not in a humorous way, I caught myself staring into nothing, not wanting to interact with people in general, unable to comprehend the most basic concepts and the overwhelming urge to walk in front of a speeding train amongst other things.

Funny when you thought you have done everything you wanted to do and have everything that really matters everything else becomes moot and when it happens in your mid 20s it's a dangerous thing.

Turning into a tree

Thinking it would be a fun thing to do to pass the day I watched one episode each of the following series; Sakigake Cromartie Koukou, Pani Poni Dash, Lucky Star, Galaxy Angel, Akahori Gedou Hour, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga. I mean it's only about 1 and a half hour of random insanity, slapstick humor and puns what harm can be done?

As it turns out by the end of it I can conclude that if you worry you'll become a tree! (心配したら木になる!)

Friday night lights

Well this just sucks monkey balls. I started today thinking this was going to be a good day, it's a Friday, end of the week I usually finish the day on a good note with the weekend to look forward to. Sometime between 9 and noon (yes I'm being very particular here) I saw one of the newspaper headline saying something about some big gubernatorial campaign rally planned for today.

During my lunch period as I was walking to buy lunch (KFC naturaly) and to buy a new battery for my mobile phone (which had been dead for the last 3 days) I saw a convoy of busses, cars and bikes carrying the campaigners which is NEVER a good sign in this god forsaken city, at this point I knew that I was never going to get home on time.

The irony behind the campaign (which is expected in any political campaign) was it caused exactly the opposite of what the candidate "vowed" to reduce, traffic jams, hours and hours of traffic jam. Starting from noon until well after 18:00 (that's 6 pm in laymen's term). Knowing this in advance I decided to go to my favorite cafe in the mall just across my office after office hours to spend some time reading only to find out that it was closed, bugger me.

Since new batteries needed to be recharged before I can use it I couldn't call home to say I was going to be late, I also ran out of coins to call from a pay phone so I decided to catch a movie only to reminded that movie ticket prices are double that of the weekday prices.

Eventually I managed to get a cab probably after 7, I'm not sure since my mobile phone's dead, my iPod ran out of juice and so did my iBook so I can't tell what time it was nor did I look at the big round clock in the mall I was in, I also stopped wearing wristwatches years ago since I had a mobile phone.

Ok so it may not sound as bad as what others may have been through but I wasn't happy with my day today but as with all bad things there's usually a silver lining, mine was some chocolate souvenir gift from a very lovely (and very smart) lady, emphasis on the chocolate, that and a big fat Whooper.


Note: that was the first time ever I've met a person who stumbled across this blog by some mere chance.

-_-

There comes a time where someone would just stop and ask themselves "Where the hell am I going with this?"

finally....

Thank god it's Friday I finally get to get some rest. I was seriously close to reaching my breaking point today, I conteplated throwing down the gauntlet on some parent today but me being me and a certain aspect of my job requires me to keep my temper in check. As always I have to work again tomorrow but at least this woll take my mind off all the frustrations I have to deal with in the past week.

on a less related note, in fact it;s not related at all! I don't like being forced to change my username to some dumbass google account but the change is for the better I guess I'll probably tinker with it some other time, oh and HEY GOOGLE! MAKE BLOGGER MORE SAFARI FRIENDLY WILL YOU!!
