Nice video too. Ang cute pa ng mga suot ni Mandy Moore (kaya siguro ako mega hanap ng striped tights...)

How I live my life daw.

How You Live Your Life

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

How Do You Live Your Life?

"sluggish" recap et al

see my previous "sluggish" post here.
Here are my comments on this post:
---------------
- just the thought of... - lugging almost 40kilos of luggage (halos kasing weight kona): may gulong naman eh.
- being in the company of tanderbolts and lightning (very very frightning):
Actually I only get to be in the company of 3 mashonders who are pretty ok:
Tita Bong: kapag naka video mode ang digicam di niya mapigilan mag-host ng sariling segment at kumanta ng mga kung ano ano tunkol sa mga flowers at leaves.
Tita Lina: Retired Tiboli Lawyer na laging nagmumura "Ay Pukengenana!!!" at nginangaratan yung room mate niyang kinabibwisitan niya. I actually missed her in Nagoya.
Mudrax: ...

- thinking of what to eat everyday: Actually looking forward to eating! Masarap ang tabemono doon. Not everything is limited to raw fish.
- talking to people with limited english: Ok ren I get to practice my Japanese listening skills (mejo nakakapagsalita pero di naman ako makaintindi eh di ganun den)
- not being able to do some shopping (ang mahal eh): wala. mahal talaga.
- reluctantly having to listen to my mom gossip about people i dont know (or even CARE about): no gossip (hay salamat)

I hope:
1. a surprisingly nice thing comes up (like our trip to Taiwan, didnt realize I would miss the place so much because of the food).
Well I will truly miss the place and this is one of the reasons:


o san ka nakakita, pag upo mo ang init ng upuan tapos may pipindutin ka lang may lalabas ng bidet na may special algorithm kasi pagspray ng tubig sakto sa tumbong (what a word!). tapos eto pa... pag flush mo may lalabas na tubig dun sa lababo sa taas kasi panghugas mo daw ng kamay o diba nagpromote pa ng clean health at pagrecycle ng tubig.

Lorico and I share the same sentiments on the Shawah Toireh:
"I woke up at around 7:00 A.M so my head was a bit aching and feeling really light. I needed to go to shower immediately because we need to catch up with Siti at around 9:00 A.M. I was on the comfort room when my second encounter of technology in Japan happened. I noticed that their toilet bowl was plugged to an electrical outlet. And right on the side of the bowl was a series of buttons that you can use. Can you imagine a toilet bowl that can automatically wash your ass right after you poo? Well, welcome to Japan."

2. it wouldn't be so damn cold - It wasnt!
3. there would be internet - there was!
4. a person would take pictures of us (hindi yung ako nalang lagi ang photographer)(McGee if ever you stumble upon this blog before our trip...) - and waddyaknow, photographer na pala si McG!!! eh di pictorial ren ako everly, may infrared pang natututunan!
5. it wouldn't be so damn boring - It wasnt!
6. hindi atakihin ng second childhood si mudrakelles ALL THROUGHOUT THE TRIP.- well not all through out the trip pero oks na im still sane.
7. i would be able to taste Japanese Style Milk Tea - de lata sa vendo! pero carry na! ang sarap!!!!
8. my very limited nihonggo wont fail me (nandayo!) - survived!

porma!

Tayo na't pumorma sa Bayan ng Mga Sakang. Sa lagay na ito ay underdressed pa ako. I was thinking of bringing my Halloween cowboy boots there kaso I dont want to look weird sa immigration dito sa Pinas.



Arrival at Centrair Nagoya: Pictorial na agad wala pang 5 minutes nakakatapak sa Japan.






















Thursday finds me waiting for a cab.

Waiting for something to happen at 10Boy.



















Just recently discovered there was a nice park in front of the bowling center.













On the way to the Victory Banquet.
Tita Lina (kinakamayan yung Mashondang Haponesa): See you in Manila in 2009!
Mashondang Haponesa: Hahahahahhaha!!!! Wakaranay....
Tita Lina: Ba-bye.
ME (sumusunod lang kay Tita Lina): Ba-bye.
Mashondang Haponesa (nagextend ng kamay sakin): Domo?
ME *panic* (tinuturo si mudra-san): Okasan ne!
Mashondang Hapon: Okasan! Aww.. Okasaaaaaaan!!!! (sabay hug sakin)
ME: eh? (walang nagawa; hug naman ako)














ME: Ayoko na magpapicture pagod na pagod nako! Uupo nalang ako dito sa tabi....
Mudra: Anokaba kaya nga tayo nagpapunta dito kasi sabi natin kay Koji-san magpapapicture tayo!
ME: O siya siya siya!!!

*click*
at ito ang resulta.










Pauwi na sa wakas sobrang pagod na kami ni McG effort na tong mga ngiti namin.

...and the adventure begins...

hindi naman pala mashyadong malamig (dili man totemo samui) at may time pa nga na mejo jinajabbar nako sa suot ko pero kebs lang basta nakaporma pa den.

so punta kami sa isang mall ditey na di naman mashadong kalakihan, carry lang, at tingin tingin. Lunch time kumain kami sa isang "authentic" (daw) na Japanese resto na kelangan magtanggal ng sapatos. pagtanggal ko, bumigay ang swelas ng aking trusty boots dahil sa lamig ng ground.

so lafang muna at picture picture at saka pumunta sa dept store para maghanap ng Shoe Glue. Mejo nauubos na ang oras ko kakaikot kaya sinabi na ng instinct kong wag nako magmarunong; magtanong nako sa tindera.

So binuksan ko na ang Japanese-English dictionary ko at nalamang ang Nihonggo ng glue ay "nori".

so napagisipan kong ituro konlang ang nakasulat kasi baka pag naghanap ako ng "nori" eh abutan ako ng seaweed.

lapit nako sa isang tinderang sunki sunki ang ipin.
ME: excuse me! sumimasen!
TINDERA: hai! irasshaimase!
ME: glue.
TINDERA: nakatulala (*wakarimasen*)
ME: *tinuturo ang nakasulat sa dictionary* glue! glue!
TINDERA: *di pa ren maintindihan* *napatingin nalang sakin at tumawa* hahhahhahaa!
ME: hahhahahahah!

so ayun mga ilang seconds den kami tawa ng tawa pero di kami nagkakaintindihan

ME: *sabay turo sa nakangiting swelas* glue! *sabay demo ng paste na nilalagay kunyari*
TINDERA: *naliwanagan* ah! groo! groo! nori? nori?
ME: *nagalak* OO!! YES!!! HAI! HAI!!!

alam niyo yung lakad ng mga Hapon na maliliit ang steps na kala mo nakagapos yung hita? totoo pala yun! so tumakbo siya ng maliliit ang steps papunta sa school supplies section and with a triumphant grin at pinakitaan ako ng... Elmer's Glue.

mejo iniisip ko pa kung ano ang Nihonggo ng paper buti nalang nakita ko ang Loctite. ("Kore wa!!!") Nag-Arigato Gozaimasu ako sa tinderang nakabungisngis with mega yuko yuko everly hanggang sa sumakit ang batok ko.

Pagdating sa counter kachismisan nung tindera yung kahera kung san ako magbabayad
KAHERA: Konnichiwa!!!!
ME: Konnichiwa!!!
KAHERA: (kung ano ano na pinagsasasabi dikona maintindihan)
ME: Wakarimasen
KAHERA: Wakarimasen!!! HAHAHAHAHHAHA!
ME: HAHAHAHHHA!!!

so nagbayad nako at nag-Arigato muli, bow bow ulit at gumora na.

So mukhang ok naman pala ang mga Hapon, mukhang ok naman sila kakwentuhan kaso yun nga lang diko talaga sila maintindihan.

blow by blow

like you care (well i hope you do.)

Istellanie's isfeshal request

NEW YORK CITY

Why not? Kung hindi naman dahil jan sa botongyong Bosch eh di sana nakatapak nako dito matagal na. Mashado kasi ako nagmamaganda sa trabaho na wala naman kinahinatnan.

ANYWAY... sige sige. Para magamit ko pa ren ang jacket na bigay ni mudrakelles. Hail Hitler!!!

Pamasahe? Lilibre daw ako ni stell.
US Visa? Reiki lang katapat niyan.

Things to do:
1. Kumain ng hotdog sa kalye.
2. Tumakbo sa Manhattan on 4-inch stilletos (kunyari ako si Carrie Bradshaw)
3. Magpa-picture sa Niagara Falls.

ano pa ba? (ano pa bang ginagawa dun?) *crickets in the background*

sluggish

1. packing
2. lugging almost 40kilos of luggage (halos kasing weight kona)
3. freezing my ass
4. being in the company of tanderbolts and lightning (very very frightning)
5. thinking of what to eat everyday
6. talking to people with limited english
7. not being able to do some shopping (ang mahal eh)
8. reluctantly having to listen to my mom gossip about people i dont know (or even CARE about).

whine whine whine.

at least:
1. I get to fly for free again
2. One more country checked on my map
3. more stamps on my passport

I hope:
1. a surprisingly nice thing comes up (like our trip to Taiwan, didnt realize I would miss the place so much because of the food)
2. it wouldn't be so damn cold
3. there would be internet
4. a person would take pictures of us (hindi yung ako nalang lagi ang photographer)(McGee if ever you stumble upon this blog before our trip...)
5. it wouldn't be so damn boring
6. hindi atakihin ng second childhood si mudrakelles ALL THROUGHOUT THE TRIP.
7. i would be able to taste Japanese Style Milk Tea
8. my very limited nihonggo wont fail me (nandayo!)
9. IT WOULDN'T BE SO DAMN COLD!!!
