What I’ve been up to for the past days…
Friday (October 28)
- Had great dinner at Yahoo Metrowalk. The food is amazing (not for the faint-hearted literally) but the con, major con, is… booze is prohibited. Now that is major suckage!
- Halloween gimmick with Mochi, Kikai and Kansai at Mugen. This time, it got a little more interesting since Kikai got offered by a nosy man to model for a car magazine. Now, if ever Kikai wanted in the gig, I just wonder how she’s gonna...

Music du jour: “Hi No Ataru Basho” by Misia
Gotta Step Up
Yesterday, we received an e-mail saying that our team will have a “meeting” at 6:30pm. Turns out, two of us are actually going to be promoted and there’s some sorta little ceremony shit. I am definitely not expecting for anything but surprise, surprise – for me that is.

On my way home, I met somebody I haven’t met for a long time. Joseph. He was a classmate from high school. I didn’t like my school but I like the people that became my friends. Joseph is just one of ‘em nice...
Japanese Music: Part of the Soundtrack of my life
Hours of sleep: 9 (yayy!!!)
Music du jour: “Be My Last” by Utada Hikaru
I love Japanese pop music (or j-pop). My sister introduced me to it when I was still in a pup. J-pop actually was one of the major reasons why I learned Nihongo. Back in college, I was a part of a club that has a great interest in Japanese culture and while many of us joined because they love anime, I joined because I got great interest in the music and the language.
My job requires me to use the Japanese language a lot. Thanks to my interest in j-pop I got this work. J-pop is not just that for me. A lot of them...
