halloween + japan + salsa, yes, salsa, it is unexpectinly cool in an unexpecting way, clem where are you, i needed those no-shame-sniping photoshooting skills, it only works in team, i wish they have good halloween chocolates here, i want some wonderbars =( november will be travelling months, because december is shopping-packing month, and then it’s flying time

my boss isnt in today, so theres “halloween” music on, “your mom circulates like a public key, servicing more requests than http, she keeps all her ports open like windows me, oh theres so much …”, and then i said, “dood turn that crap off”

“b**ches dereferences my pointers for free…” “shut up!”

*added*, btw have you ever look at your credit card bill? of course i dont get my statements here so i look online, and last last month i missed my payment (on a huge bill too ;/) that i had to pay like 10 bux + interests on my last bill, so this month’s bill, i was just looking at the statement today, and i only had my phone bill, and with 2 payment received from last time, sounds all good, at the bottom in small, total credit + debit yadda yadda + periodic interest charge $4.xx, right, from what?

*ring ring
“hi how may i help you?”
“ya i made 2 payments last months and how come this month i got this interest charge thingy, what you guys call it? periodic something?”
“yes the periodic something, lets see, you were late on xx month, and then you have xx interest for last month”
“yes i paid that”
“ya and then last month your total was xx amount”
“yes i paid that too, before due date”
“ya and so… um… ahh k i see, the interest is from the last month’s amount”
“ok, which i paid before the due date” “right, so that’s the interest for last month amount of $269.xx… but you know what, i can just go ahead credit that for you, so your new balance this month is now $43.xx, not $48.xx”
“… ya sure, k thanks, im going to pay $43.xx, see ya later”

i think he thinks he did me a favor, thanks man, appreciated

over the weekend billy/clem/jen/roz came to kyushuu, and they’re all gonna write about the trip im pretty sure, so ill just write some random stuff:

• eating two meals per meal is crazy
• clem snores so punch him and tell him to face the other way if he sleeps beside you
• tenjin core is girl heaven
• raw chicken liver is like… ew
• gotta stop going into sniper-mode, unless you have no shame
• next time, rent-a-car might be a good idea
• next time, have to go to the bar by my place

and then yesterday, they left to go beppu, and i cant because i got coop interview (she came at like 9:30 in the morning! i wasnt even at work yet), and then i got sick last night, and slept all night, the weather here is messed up

*added 10/25

pics uploaded, there’s first time of everything here in japan, from singing 6 hrs of karaoke, getting called “master” and being served for food, to biking 90km to a empty beach, and now, food poisoning, holy crap it’s insano, it’s one of the worst experience i’ll ever have, i’m assuming it’s poison b/c  i have been doing non-stop bathroom runs since about 3 am last night, this freakin sux, and i’m also sick at the same time, grrrr

i went to my coworkers place last night to burn some stuff, i decided not to format until i get home but i still need to free up some space for more jpop/movies/animes, and gw nightfall when it comes ;p while we were burning like the 5 or 6 difference series of anime that i watch at same time, Pretty Woman came on tv, on the BS2 channel, i wish i had all the channels to tv, and then we ate dinner and watched the movie

(the scene where they went to watch the horse field hockey sport thing)
a: “man theres so many weird sports in the world, whats this one called again?”
t: “ya i know, um… i forgot, hold up… oh they just said it, its polo! cause water polo is the one with the horses in the water!”
a: “yeah! huh?? wtf lol?”

i went out walking around last weekend because there was “tenjin music city” event, where they have like 3 -5 stages around the area, and just free concerts, all these artists just perform in the afternoon, it was so awesome, and i also went to a maid cafe for lunch, finally found one, and the maid mixed my milk tea for me, and drew a hello kitty on my omurice, that was awesome too

but i dont need to go back b/c it wasnt cheap, unless they feed me or something ;p my friend had no shame and tried to ask for a photo together, and then one of the maid’s email, obviously he didnt get it, gg

im still at work, but im almost off – at 8, cause i went to book my flight to tokyo (narita) this morning for dec 24, if im lucky my ticket will only cost me 11900yay~ flying on xmas, i should get some JAL xmas freebies! now im sitting here, i cant design anything, i interviewed this jap girl yesterday, who went to college in australia and did communication and design/fine arts stuff, and she brought her portfolio, gawd her stuff was so good – book covers, stationery kit, pamphlets etc. and i call myself a designer too? ha… so now, i cant work cause i have made up to version 9 of a booklet and probably still going to scrap it, thinking how much i want/should have done communication too, what am i saving all the money for, and where to go for dinner, cause my fridge is empty again except 3 cans of beer and 1 cup of 4 months old jam

over the weekend my mom and my bro came to visit me on a kyushuu tour, and then i went on the tour too, and then we went to huis ten bosch, or basically holland, i didnt know holland is really just part of netherlands, thanks wikipedia

so ya, i finally got to sleep on a bed after 4 months of being here, the hotel for the tour in fukuoka happend to be 5 min walk from my house in canal city, and the whole time, i thought the tour was to go aso, eat unlimited uber beef for lunch, then go on boat tour, then huis ten bosch, and eat lobster dinner, then back home, but nooo, it was eh buffet, then self dinner, then eh buffet, then really awesome looking traditional jap dinner but with ZERO meat (or worse, it was all eggplants and pumpkins) other than an overcooked lobster tail, then curry unlimited, wth, CURRY? thats worth like >1000yen out of my 70000yen trip, the best meals of the tour for all 3 days are, the breakfast buffet

i went like not far at all, 99islands (９９島) by saikai (西海) – where i went on a boat ride to see only 25 of them (theres actually like 250+) and went to an aquarium and got a funky pearl, huis ten bosch, and dazaifu, oh oh and duty free shop, cant forgot that place when you’re on a tour~ huis ten bosch, or i call it holland, in nagasaki was cool, its so pretty, super cool buildings, and the place is massive, they have their own bus and boat transportation, the holland palace replica, i got to stay in a cool cabin, with my sink in my closet, so if you go to the bathroom, you have to come back to your room to wash your hands, its s-m-r-t, but ya, giant windmills, its right by water you can rent boat to go out to the sea, i watched flamenco dance show and now i wanna learn dancing, it was a uber cool place to stay

i talked to some ppl on the tour on the last day, people are like wow you live in japan? what you studying? wth you work? youre from canada? are you rich?… some ppl thought i was so … … great? (i dont know english anymore) like im only 23 but im working in a diff country out on my own make money etc, but im just like uh no? if i was in taiwan id prbbly be crammin my butt off, or in the army right now lol

anyway, it was fun, food was eh, but hotels were uber, places we went were eh, but weather and schedule was uber, i razed all the tooth brush at every hotel, only cause i want the tiny tooth paste, and i also got a “new” sewing kit and 2 boxes of tissues
i just found some chicks photo album site is direct linking my mika wallpaper as her page bg, and then i found more pics i have being direct linked to somewhere else, so ya, amrik, thats one of the reasons why i use 2 – 3 gig bandwidth per month. Coworker suggestion: save a copy of wallpaper, then replace orig img with goatse img, pwned

now, do you think microsoft zune player will be worth it? i need a new mp3 player
