porn star: yaa d na sya virgin
skwater: wahahahahahaha XD
Kulet mo teng. Hahahahahaha XD Anyway balita ko nabasa ng mga kinauukulan yung post ko tungkol sa kanila (see this.) Ang masasabi ko lang... I was on drugs nung sinulat ko yun, I didn't mean ANY of it!!!
To Aldy: Mishu na. :'(
To Vren: Pag ikaw nag-feeling ka sisipain kita dyan pag-uwi ko.
To Boah and Bondi: Pag-uumpugin ko kayong dalawa mga gago kayo a.
To Berdie: Congrats hindi ka na virgin :)
Haha. Ang weird malaman na nakakarating sa mga tao yung sinusulat ko tungkol sa kanila. I feel so exposed. Dati kasi si Dulce lang nagbabasa nito e. XD
Sana lang hindi maging bored si Lunch Guy isang araw at i-search ang pangalan nya sa Google, at malaman nyang ang unang-unang hit ay ang blog na 'to. I would be so dead.

KMBT Bounenkai / Cute Japanese Boys Post
Eto asa Hankyuu station kami. In fairness kasabay namin pumunta sa Osaka from Itami yung mga boss a. (L-R: Jp, Sir Dante, Sir Butch, Jim, Joan, Jamie, Athan, Tsuboi-san, Inui-san and Jun-kun.)
Lahat ng AWS peeps sa KMBT sa letter J nagsisimula ang pangalan. May rule kasi ata na hindi ka pwedeng ma-assign dito kung hindi ganon pangalan mo e. John Patrick, Jose Dante, Jim Francis, Jonathan Eastmael, Joan Katherine, Jeffrey Patrick, Jamie Ann. Except si Sir Butch.
Sir Butch: (explaining) "Kasi hindi kumpleto yung J kung walang B."
Sa resto, ka-table din namin yung mga big bosses! Favorite ang AWS amp. Lakas Pinoy! (Others: Takada-san, Sugano-san, and Kawai-san, mga Sky peeps.)
Shet hindi ako nalaseng pero kunwari na lang para ok lang na papicture kami nang papicture! Haha XD Eto naman mga VSN peeps. Sorry di ko sila kilala masyado. Lang cute e.
This is the picture I never thought would actually materialize. Matagal ko na syang minemention dito sa blog ko. Laging asa YM status ko. Ayoko sa kanya nung una e, pero his habits - constantly unlocking his jaw, yung tawa nyang pang-asar, yung mystery ng pagka-sweet nya sa lahat ng mga tao except sa mga babae - these habits grow on you. Kaya may love-hate relationship kami nito e. Lakas mang-suplado pero pag nanlambing, nakakalimutan ko lahat ng hinanakit ko sa buhay. Kaya nung dumaan sya sa may table namin, picture agad kahit stolen lang!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Anjo, ang boss kong hindi ko makausap ng matino hindi dahil sa Nihongo kundi dahil sa overwhelming guilt at panghihinayang na nararamdaman ko tuwing naaalala kong may asawa na sya. Syeeeeeeet. Hahaha joke lang Athan. XD
Wahaha picture after nya umalis at tuwang-tuwa ako sa kajologsan namin.
Eto naman si Boyfriend, so named dahil akala namin hot gay couple sila ni Anjo dati. (Anlambing kasi sa kanya ni Anjo e.) Ang gwapo nya, shet. Hindi na 'to stolen dahil umandar na naman ang katarantaduhan ni Jim - binenta ako sa boss nina Boyfriend (Kawai-san, guy in white shirt) at sinabing gusto ko raw magpapicture kasama si Boyfriend. I was like, "No no no no nooooooooooooooh!!!" pero shempre hindi ko rin kayang palampasin ang chance, wahahahahaha XD Pero ohmygod I still have to see these people on Monday. Hindi ko na sya tuloy maso-small talk pag kami lang ang tao sa yosihan, syet.
Jamie: "Yoshida-san wa, itsumo, maishuu no kinyoubi, yasumi desu ne."
Boyfriend: "A, iie iie. Itsumo ja nai. Suimasen."
Jamie: "..."
Jim: (laughs his head off at the side)
Wala akong maisip sabihin e. Totoo namang lagi syang absent pag Friday. At least alam nyang napapansin ko. At namimiss ko sya. Kaya siguro sya nag-sorry. Harharhar XD

Eto since "Cute Japanese Boys" ang title ng post ko. Arashi sandwich. Cute di ba.
Haha anyway back to the bounenkai. Wag mo na pansinin si Athan. Picture namin ni Jim after the party. Wagi na naman sa mga pictures.
Jim: "Sa picture naman nagsisimula ang lahat e."
Sou desu ne. ;)

Damn you Friendster horoscope.
Friendster Horoscope for December 11, 2007
Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
The Bottom Line
A new business or professional opportunity will pop up very early in your day today.
In Detail
A new business or professional opportunity will pop up very early in your day today, but the timing might not be totally right. Resist the urge to force things. Listen to your gut and if you don't feel ready to take anything new on, don't take it on. Trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole will only end in frustration -- and perhaps a broken peg. Self-preservation is important today, so keep track of your resources, your energy level, and your social commitments!
I love Anjo. To bits. Jamie log Sugano. And then Monday night I had to receive this email from Richard Gere (big KMBT boss) addressed, literally, to 87 other people, announcing that... that...
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH :'(
I don't care whatever the hell those morons in in KMBT say. Nobody can replace Anjo. EVER.
Sorry in advance if ever I don't reply to online messages. It doesn't mean I don't like you, it just means I'm dying. One bug at a time.

Early Influence
The movie 8mm refers to the Philippines as a source of snuff movies.
Patis dissed: “The nuoc mam from Phu Quoc Island was the best of all, clear and with an astonishingly subtle taste. . .But the sauce in this restaurant is from the Philippines, very bad, not from Thailand, which at least is a pale second-best.” - from the story Love by Robert Olen Butler.
In the movie Constantine, the possessed girl hisses at Keanu Reeves: “PapaTAYin natin siya!” So Hollywood has established that Tagalog is the language spoken in hell.
- J.Z., "Catalouging"
I remember being a grade schooler and rummaging through my mom's stack of old MOD (was it Women's Today?) magazines in search of her articles. Her column was entitled En Nui, something like that. The most memorable line? "'[Quote],' she said through a mouthful of dead chicken." I dunno, that line killed me. Anyway late last year I found her blog, and now I'm catching up on the stuff I've missed since I was hit by the KMBT bug (no pun intended.)
So yes, I've been reading Jessica Zafra material before she became the Jessica Zafra of the Manananggal stories, the Twisted columns, the talk shows, and most especially the totally drool-worthy association with Ely Buendia, my first serious OPM rock star crush.
In freshman year college, our Introduction to Poetry class had a project that involved creating a journal and writing about "something poetic" at least three times a week. I didn't always write about poetic stuff, just whatever I felt like writing. I looved writing in that journal. I think that project evolved into this blog, maybe. (On a totally off-tangent topic dammit my sentences are completely getting screwed over by 24/7 exposure to Nihongo. My brain is forcing Japanese grammar onto my sentence structures, seriously. If you know what I'm talking about HOW THE HELL DO YOU MANAGE?)
Anyway. Back to Jessica Zafra. Angelique Roux, my third year high school English class teacher, once told me that she doesn't like Jessica Zafra's writing. "Anybody can write like her. All she does is complain." Meanwhile, Paula Cirera, long-time secret crush of one of my "close" friends and one of those who read my original English class journal, wrote in her Friendster testi for me that "i love jame kasi she's funny and she has this cynical, deadpan Jessica Zafra-like writing style that I've always envied."
I'm not lifting my own chair. (Dammit my English is seriously being warped by spending too much time around Jim the God of Bug Fixing and Misuse of the English Language.) Reading Jessica's blog tonight, I realized, Pau may be right. Not about the funny and cynical and deadpan and enviable writing style part, just the Jessica Zafra-like part. I find her stuff really funny and intellectual and God I only wish I could write - or complain, as Miss Roux would put it - half as good as she does. It sounds really weird to say this, but maybe my mom's women's magazines helped turn me into the blogger I am today.
If I'm lucky, I too will have Ely Buendia's number on my phonebook someday. ;b
Haha. Wala lang. Hindi ako makatulog sa excitement for Dec9. :D

Nabuhay si Kuya Prus!
Anyway just before I went home from the office nakita ko picture ni Rusty (admuECEzerofive) sa YM, tas naka-yukata sya, yung traditional Japanese, er, costume for guys. So I messaged him, and it turns out he's been in Osaka since October 2. I arrived in Itami on September 30. We've been just 12 kilometers apart all this time pala.
The good news? I won't have to spend Christmas holed up in my apartment since my trip to Tokyo was cancelled (damn you Ryan), Jim's going home din, and Jeff's girlfriend is coming over for the holidays (nai-imagine ko na yung DND sign sa pinto ni Jeff.) Meron na 'kong kasama sa Pasko, woohoo! Pag-uwi ko kanina tinawagan nya 'ko tas kwentuhan lang kami ng mga kagaguhan dito sa Japan. Baka sa Linggo magkita kami. Ang saya. :D

(R-L: Eng, Moldy, Rusty, me, Lana, and Grace.)
Kahit hindi kami sobrang close nung college, iba pa rin yung feeling na may kakilala kang andito rin. Someone to swap experiences with. I dunno. Basta.
Haha yun lang. Buti naman nabawi yung kabadtripan ng araw ko. Ja ne.

Weekly Report
Wednesday, November 14, I was feeling down for a couple of reasons. (See "Top 5 Reasons Kung Bakit Panalo Ang Araw Na 'To", November 14.) I was so down that my motto for the next day was, "Wala ng mawawala." Turns out meron pa pala.
Thursday, November 15. I was performing machine testing on this bug fix I was working on, when suddenly... I died. I don't want to get into the details of what happened, but it would be suffice to say that I did in fact died. A little bit. At the end of the day, I sent an email to my boss Anjo telling him I wanted to die. Well, not in those words. But I think I got the point across.
Friday, November 16. Went to the office early so I could still sulk a little bit and bitch about my bad fortune. Kaso pagdating ko andun na si Anjo, and he talked to me. Ever so kindly. Then I checked my email, and may reply pa pala sya dun sa mail ko the night before.
ジェイミーさん
お疲れ様です。Anjoです。
特に気にしないでください。

Hahaha XD Anyway sooobrang bait talaga nung mail nya sa 'kin. I soo don't deserve it. Akala ko hindi na 'ko makaka-move on dun sa nangyari the previous day e, sobrang laki kasing screw up. As in instant notoriety. As in kung hindi nila ko papauwiin, uuwi akong Pilipinas mag-isa. Tas isang email lang from Anjo made it all better. Fucking unbelievable. Ang galing nya bumawi, parang yung lahat ng kasupladuhan nya nakalimutan ko. At lunch nag-consult ulit ako kay Athan tungkol kay Anjo.Jamie: "Athan pano na pag yung may-asawa na yung nanlalambing sa 'kin?"
Athan: (walang isip-isip, galit na naman) "Kasalanan mo pa rin yon! May ginawa ka siguro!"
Jamie: (speechless)
Grabe wala talaga 'kong lusot kay Athan. Wahahaha XD
November 17, Saturday, nag-dinner date kaming tatlo nina Jim at Jeff sa isang masarap na ramenan sa Osaka. In fairness popular yung ramenan, talagang pinipilahan sya ng mga tao. Shempre kahit nakapila lang kami kailangan may picture.
Afterwards, Jim and I took off for Tamatsukuri to meet up with KMC peeps Steph, Sir Vince, Ren and Nico. Karaoke utaihoudai til 5 am. Kulet kumanta ni Ren. Happy birthday Steph. ;b
November 18, Sunday, went to Nippombashi after church and bought a webcam and a 500GB external hard disk. Feeling ko sobrang omnipotent ko dahil meron akong 500 gigs of space. Haha. After we got home, nagluto kami nina Jim at Jeff ng one dish each for dinner at Jeff's apartment. Eto yung accomplishments namin:
Kay Jim yung Chicken a la king, kay Jeff yung clams. Akin yung tuna sashimi. Shempre pinakamasarap yung sashimi. Pinakamahirap pa i-prepare. Wahahahaha XD
November 19, Monday, birthday ni Bossing. Bullied, er, persuaded Sir Butch to treat us to yakiniku for dinner.
Kulit ng mukha ng birthday boy.
Sarap!!!
Kinikilig siguro ako masyado sa picture namin ni Jim. Wahahahahaha XD
November 20, Tuesday, finished mondaiten 91199. I finally said sayounara to that freaking bug. Good fucking riddance.
November 21, Wednesday. Was going to have a peaceful meryenda with Sir Butch, Jeff, and Jim when all of a sudden, the guy in front of me at the vendo turned out to be none other than Lunch Guy himself. Shokku!!! Anyway Jim goes over to talk to him. I will keep it in Nihongo to protect the sanctity of the conversation.
Jim: "Yago-san no thesis wa magnetic storm desu ne."
Lunch Guy: "Eh? Shitteru?"
Jim: "Hai. Netto de sagashita."
Oh my GAWD that was the creepiest thing EVER. Sobrang nakakahiya. Much much MUCH creepier than some strange foreigner asking for a picture with him. Seriously.

Wahahahahaha XD
November 22, Thursday. Akala ko just another weekly report ang mangyayari with the client, but nooooh, Ishikawa-san (our hot Japanese vice-president) had to show up for the meeting. Eto sya sa likod ko:
Ang nabalitaan ko dati, he only shouts at managers and project leaders. I now feel so special kase kahit subleader lang ako, nasigawan na rin nya 'ko. In front of my KMBT bosses. To be fair I received the lightest scolding (kasi siguro type nya 'ko or something, I dunno) pero still, I got scolded. Iniisip ko habang sinisigawan nya ko, shit I will walk with my head down in shame around KMBT for the next four months.
Yosi break kami afterwards, tas nagsswap kami ng stories how each of us got our heads bitten off by TI, and yung isang guy medyo luha-luha na talaga, tas biglang sabi nya,
J: "Hindi na nga ako na***** sa bahay e, sa office na lang kasi sobrang wala ng time!"
And he was soo serious when he said it too kaya di kami makatawa mashado. It was such a TMI moment, pero sobrang seryoso talaga nya di ko kinaya. May kasama pang mga luha e! Tas sabi pa nya,
J: "Cancer kasi ako e, kaya mukhang strong lang ako sa labas, pero sa loob malambot talaga 'ko."
Hindi na namin kinaya talaga. Sir Butch went, "Ow kamon!!!" tas tawa na kami nang tawa. Strong ampota e iyak nang iyak. Angkulet sobra shet.
We were still feeling a little down after the yosi break pero ok lang kasi pagbalik ko sa desk ko, kinausap ako ni Anjo. And can I just say? SOOBRANG galing nya bumawi. As in. Lumiliwanag ang buhay. Parang kahit every week ako sabunin ni TI ayus lang basta afterwards kakausapin ako ni Anjo.
I fixed this bug, right, and it turned out na I didn't need to fix it just yet, I had to wait for another guy to fix some other part muna. And Anjo was explaining it to me and I was listening intently because I was writing down all the vocabulary I was going to look up after, and I noticed he was kinda laughing. Anjo was actually laughing. Kaya nakitawa na rin ako. Ang kyuuuuuuuut soobra, and he was saying all this unnecessary but totally cute commentary about the code structure of the system, and I was thinking yabai, Athan is sooooo going to kill me.
Anyway after we finished our conversation I was feeling all giddy and shit, and the moment Anjo turned his back Jim went, "I'm so jealous." I was thinking shet sana hindi alam ni Anjo yung english word na yon, kaso biglang may follow-up si Jim e.
"Urayamashii. Jamie no riida wa totemo kakkoi desu kara."
Ginawa pang Nihongo amp! Walang pakundangan! Grabe. Grabe talaga I couldn't stop laughing. Damn you Jim.
Jim: "Narinig mo ba nung nagtatawanan kayo, nakikitawa rin ako? Hahaha parang kasali ako sa usapan."
Angkulet. Afterwards, I talked to Athan.
Jamie: "Nakita mo yon? Nilalambing ako ni Anjo!"
Athan: (speechless)
Wahahahahaha XD I'm so sorry Athan!!! Hahaha XD
That night was incidentally Sir Butch's last night in Itami (uwi sya muna sa Pinas for two weeks) so shempre napadespedida naman kami. Dinner kami nina Jim, Jeff, Athan, Sir Butch and Sir Dante sa Mos Burger tas tawa lang kami ng tawa dun tungkol sa mga kagaguhan namin. Maya-maya nagyaya si Athan - si Athan! - ng karaoke. E minsan lang yung magyaya. Kaya ayun, inabot kami ng 5:30 kakakanta. Sobrang kulet. Basta.
Rollercoaster week talaga 'to. It started on such a low note, I was just about to die na talaga e... tas thankfully, it got better. Much better than I ever imagined. Haay. Arigatou, minna. Next week ulit. ;b

Happy Birthday Bossing
Jamie: "Mamayang gabi kasi birthday ni Sir Butch, tas sa Thursday despedida nya, tas sa Saturday kase wala na sya!"
Sir Butch: "Bastards kayo. Bastards."
Happy Birthday
Jamie: "Happy 40th Sir Butch!"
Jim: (gulat na gulat) "40 na? Hindi halata!"
Sir Butch: "Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako o maaasar..."
Talking about Beewulf over yakiniku
Jeff: "Third year high school ata namin inaral yun."
Jamie: "Kami rin ata."
Sir Butch: "Kami second year."
Jamie: "Nung sinulat."
Dinagdag ko yung last quote kahit di ko naintindihan kung bakit sya nakakatawa. Tawa kasi nang tawa si Jeff saka si Sir Dante e. Wahahahahaha XD
Anyways pinilit namin manlibre ng yakiniku si Sir Butch kase birthday nya kanina. Tsalap. ;b Gochisou sama deshita! Yung pabaon naming yosi ni Jim sir, don't forget! :D

Top 5 Reasons Kung Bakit Panalo Ang Araw Na 'To
Number 5:
Akala ni Martin boyfriend ko si Jim. Enough said.
Number 4:
Hindi ako pinapansin ni Anjo simula kahapon ng umaga. Nung nagmail naman sya kaninang hapon, nalaman kong may pinapagawa pala sya sa 'kin dun sa huli nyang email na hindi ko naintindihan at ginawa DAHIL SA LETSENG VAGUENESS NG MGA SAGOT NYA TUWING MAY TINATANONG AKO. MAG-ARAL KA KAYANG MAG-INGLES, GADEMET.
Number 3:
Hindi ako pinapansin ni Athan. Alam naman namin sa KMBT team na seryosong tao talaga si Athan, pero today hindi namin sya narinig umimik buong araw. Kaya nung gabi na nilapitan ko sya sa desk nya.
Jme: "Hi Athan, di pa kita naririnig magsalita today."
Athan: (smiles half-heartedly)
Jme: "Kausapin mo naman ako!"
Athan: (shrugs and returns to work)
Lakas talaga manabla ni Athan. Di talaga pwedeng lambingin amp.
Number 2:
Secret. Anlupet nito. Basta. Hindi ako natuwa. 笑いことじゃねえよ。本当に。
Number 1:
Ang tagal kong pinag-isipan kung bakit ito yung number one reason ng pagkapanalo ng araw na 'to e. At napagisip-isip ko na secret na rin 'to dahil gusto ko 'tong matuloy. Bagong buhay!!!
Shet sana kayanin ko.
Oo, alam kong para 'kong gago, magpopost tas puro secret naman. Tas ang lalalim pa ng dahilan ko no? Ewan. Basta alam ko naiintindihan ako ng mga tao dito sa Japan. Except, of course, the Japanese ones.
Nooni nooni noo. God this was such a hard post to do.

Slow News Week
Dahil bored ako ipo-post ko na lang yung itsura ng desktop ko.

I am having waaaaay too much fun with the Google side bar. Yung una na may picture namin ni Utoy, countdown of the days until March 31, 2008 (my scheduled flight home, currently at 138 days) tas yung susunod, money manager (currently at Y2361. Shet wala na 'kong pera.) The third is a YouTube video downloader (stig), next is a shutdown shortcut (dahil tamad ako), and last is the current weather for Osaka (14 degrees.) Angkulet no. Love it love it love it.
Nag-uusap kami ni Jim kanina over after dinner yosi sa Cozy Gusto tungkol sa mga favorite TV shows namin. I made a deal with him na papanoorin ko yung Queer As Folk kung papanoorin nya yung One Tree Hill.
At this moment, there are six billion, four hundred seventy million, eight hundred eighteen thousand, six hundred seventy one people in the world. Some... are running scared. Some... are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes... ...All you need is one.
- Peyton Sawyer, OTH season 3, episode 1, "Like You, Like an Arsonist"
Nakaka-miss ang One Tree Hill. Nakaka-miss si Lucas at si Nathan Scott. Nakaka-miss ang luto ng nanay ko. Nakaka-miss makipag-gaguhan kay Utoy. Nakaka-miss ang F4, ang admuECEzerofive. Nakaka-miss ang clubs. Nakaka-miss magyosi at tumanga sa balcony ng Makati. Nakaka-miss ang Dreidels. Nakaka-miss ang Batch 7. Nakaka-miss.
Mashado akong maraming nami-miss. Wee.
Ang sweet ni Jim. Sort of.
Jme: "Ows..."
Jim: "Seryoso, bagay sa 'yo. Pang-matangkad saka mukhang mamahalin."
Jme: "Talaga?!?"
Jim: "Oo. Pinulot ko talaga yon para sa 'yo e."
Mato-touch na sana 'ko e. Pinulot sa park ampota. (Pero in fairness maganda nga. XD)

Naubusan ako ng quotable quotes.
Yesterday Boss Anjo mailed me to ask me to explain my bug fix for his review. So, being the obedient, diligent, and hard working person that I am, I explained my fix to him. He speaks basically no English at all so I spent a couple of hours composing my reply mail in Nihongo. My Master Plan is to minimize talking directly with him for the next five months and interact with him through mail na lang where I have the time to translate what we're saying to each other. Dumudugo kasi yung tenga ko pag kinakausap nya 'ko e. Tapos nauubusan na 'ko ng Nihongo, nauutal pa 'ko kasi pota di ko mapigilan, bumababa talaga yung IQ points ko in the presence of raw hotness. So mail na nga lang. Good plan, di ba? Ingenious! Galing na galing ako sa sarili ko e.
Nung nag-reply sya dumilim yung mundo ko.
ジェイミーさん
お疲れ様です。Anjoです。
特に問題ありませんが、
1点だけ。
この原因や対策を、日本語を喋って説明することはできますか?
今はまだ、書面でも問題ありませんが、現地メンバの立ち上げが
終わり、現地メンバによって対策が開始されると、書面レビューではなく、
ちゃんと喋って説明していただく必要があります。
お客様とのやり取りも発生してきますので、
今後は必須となってきます。
難しいと思いますが、宜しくお願いします。
以上、宜しくお願い致します。
Basically he said he had no problem with my explanation, it was the greatest single piece of technical email he had ever received, yada yada yada (kung ayaw mo maniwala i-translate mo mag-isa yung sinabi nya, pakshet.) Ang galing ko pala talaga sa mga written docs, akala ko English lang e. (I can write it!) Anyway he goes on to say that he has just one point to say.
"Kono genin ya taisaku wo, Nihongo wo shabette setsumeisuru koto wo dekimasu ka?"
Translation: "This cause and fix, can you explain it verbally in Nihongo?"
Translation, without the Japanese bullshit politeness: "MAG-ARAL KA NGA MAG-NIHONGO!!!"
He goes on to say that right now it's not a problem pa naman, pero when the actual debugging phase starts I'm not going to be explaining my fixes through damn documents. So magiging importante na raw talaga that I learn to speak in Nihongo. In all fairness he's really polite about it, sa dulo sinabi pa nya na sa tingin din nya mahirap nga, pero kailangan talaga.
Feeling ko ploy lang 'tong sinasabi nyang kailangan ko matutong i-express ang sarili ko in Nihongo e. Para siguro maka-reply ako ng maayos pag nagtapat na sya ng feelings nya sa 'kin. Either sya or si Boyfriend. Or si Matsujun!
Hmm. That's enough motivation for me. Sige na nga mag-aaral na 'ko. Harharharharhar. >XD
Baka naman iniisip nyo sobrang zero ng Nihongo skills ko a. (I can speak it!!!) Napagsabihan pa nga kami ni Sir Butch kasi nagni-Nihongo kami nina Jim at Jeff sa office e. Kaso yung mga tipong "Maji ka yo?!?" ("Seryoso ba yan?!?") saka "Warai koto ja nee yo!" ("Pota hindi nakakatawa!") yung mga sinasabi namin. Hindi appropriate sa office kung saan ang lahat ng mga Hapon puro "arigatou gozaimasu" saka "sumimasen" ang maririnig mo buong araw sa sobrang politeness nila sa isa't isa. Kami kasi bastusan mode kahit anong lenguwahe e. Hahahahaha XD
Nagtataka siguro si Anjo bakit balu-baluktot ako mag-explain sa kanya pag nag-uusap kami, pero pag kausap ko sina Jim in Nihongo ng katarantaduhan parang native Japanese speaker ako.
Haaaay. Programming work + Nihongo study. This is going to be interesting.

October 2007 KMBT QQs
1: Cute Boys
For the longest time, si Aldy ang pinakapoging nilalang sa AWS Makati. Mr. Wash Day two years in a row, biruin mo.
Tas biglang dumating si Mr. Astigin (itago na lang natin sya sa pangalang "Berdie.") Mas matangkad. Mas otokoppoi.
Tas biglang dumating si Mr. "Lagi Na Lang Akong Ginagamit ng mga Babae" (itago na lang natin sya sa pangalang "Boah") at ang kanyang live-in partner, si Mr. "Inner Sexness" (na itatago naman natin sa pangalang "Bondi.") In fairness sa 'kin hindi ako yung nag-declare na pogi sila a, si Boah ang nagsabi nun.
Lakas!!!
Boah, on Berdie: "Pansin ko nga sya lang yung medyo pogi dito bago kami dumating ni Bondi. Who's the biatch now?"
Tapos, dumating si Mr. "Lampaso Kayo Lahat" (na itatago naman natin sa pangalang... umm... shit this totally messes up my code names now. Itago na lang natin sya sa pangalang Vren. XD) Siya na ang nasa tuktok ngayon, kahit tanungin mo pa si Jeff. Lalaki na yun a.
Na-insecure sa wakas
Aldy: (looking immensely hurt) "Porke nakahanap ka lang ng mas gwapo sa 'kin..."
Wahahahaha kulet XD Don't worry Aldy, hindi ko pa rin makakalimutan yung moments natin dito sa Japan. Especially the ones involving cute flowery boxers. Wahahahahaha XD
2: Those Damn La Sallites
Tatlo yung kasabay kong bumiyahe papuntang Japan last September 30, puro La Sallista. At shempre puro rich kids.
Bawal mag-holding hands sa high school nina Jocs
Sir Dante: "E pano sex?"
Jocs: (walang kagatol-gatol) "Hindi naman nila mapipigilan yun e."
Nagimbal ang lahat sa statement ni Jocs, grabe. So may KMBT Rule No. 1 na kami: ok lang mahuling nakikipag-sex, basta walang holding hands. Astig. :D
At the Kyuu Kyuu (99 Yen) Store
Jeff: (checking out the milk) "Full cream ba 'to?"
Jme: (silence.) "Jeff nasa kyuu kyuu tayo..."
Akala ko elevator lang meron sina Aps sa bahay
Jme: "Bakit kayo may barge?"
Aps: "Wala lang." (shrug)
Take note of the plural form
Jeff: "Dati pinaglalaruan ko yung yosi ng mga driver namin..."
Jme: "Rich kid story na naman ba 'to?!?"
Kuleeeeeeeeeeet ng mga rich kids.
3: Anlaki na naman ng problema ni Jeff.
Bawal tumanggi mag-host ng Dark Bulb Discussions kase nagagalit si Jeff
Jeff: "Nasa Bible yun! You can not hide light under a bowl!"
Araw-araw 'to
Jeff: (problemadong-problemado) "Ano yung Nihongo ng [insert random word here]?"
Nagagalit na naman si Jeff
Jme: "Hindi talaga 'ko programmer. Magaling lang ako sa grammar, hindi ako magaling sa syntax..."
Jeff: "Syntax IS grammar! You spell grammer with an E!"
Jme: "... as in programmer?!?"
Buti na lang inuubos na namin ni Sir Butch ang kabibuhan mo Jeff. You're on the "knotted-forehead-while-working" side of the fence now. Harharharharhar >XD
4: Si Aps
Ang gusto ko kay Aps, effortless ang pagpapatawa nya kasi hindi naman talaga sya nagpapatawa. ;))
Kulang yung ulam na niluto ni Aps
Aps: "Nabitin yung talong ko." (sad face)
Bakit kasi nasa sahig ang traditional Japanese toilets
Jme: "May 20 seconds' worth of flushing sound effects dun sa loob ng stall."
Aps: (irritated) "May sound effects pa sila ampangit naman ng toilet nila."
Boses **** si Boyfriend
Aps: "Ano yung ****?"
Jme: "Jim di raw alam ni Aps yung ****."
Jim: "Sige Aps papakitaan kita."
Jme: "Wala ka naman nun e!"
Jim: "Papakita ko yung sa 'yo."
After countless euphimisms, na-gets na rin ni Aps kung ano yung ****
Aps: (incredulous) "May boses ba yun?!?"
5: Ang mga Bossing
Mabibigyan ba 'ko ng memo dahil nilagay ko sila sa blog ko? Di naman siguro no?
Pumasok si Sir Butch nang naka-sweatshirt
Jme: (pigil na pigil) "Bagets na bagets tayo sir a."
Sir Butch: (asar talo) "Pagbigyan nyo naman ako paminsan-minsan!!! You bastards!!!"
Anlabo ni Sir Dante
Jme: "Pupunta po dito sina Ma'am Cris?"
Sir Dante: "Sino?"
Jme: "Si Ma'am Cris po."
Sir Dante: "Sinong Ma'am Cris?
Jme: "Yung asawa nyo po."
Joke lang po mga ser. Please wag nyo pa po akong pauwiin. Wala pa po akong naiipon. Harharharharhar. >XD
5: The Athan Mode
Si Athan ang pinakaseryosong miyembro ng KMBT team sa Itami. As in mas seryoso pa sya sa bossing ko, si Poging Boss Anjo. Anyway isang araw naglulunch kami, usap-usap lahat ng kung ano-anong kagaguhan, habang si Athan as usual serious mode, tahimik lang na kumakain. Tas hindi namin alam dadating na pala yung best Athan hirit. EVER. (kahit na hindi nya sinasadya ;b)
Sa wakas nagsalita si Athan
Aps: "Bakit 'Ang hirap lambingin ni Anjo' yung status mo sa YM?"
Jme: (whining) "Mahirap naman talaga kasi lambingin si Anjo e..."
Athan: (biglang nagsalita, galit na galit) "Bakit mo lalambingin yun e may asawa na yun?!?"
WAHAHAHAHAHA XD Anlabo ni Athan, ibang "lambing" kasi yung iniisip e... easy lang! Kaya tuloy may na-establish na naman kaming rule sa KMBT: BAWAL LAMBINGIN SI ATHAN. Wahahahaha XD
Ang singsing ni Athan
Jme: (looking at Athan's hand) "Bakit wala kang wedding ring?"
Athan: (seryoso) "Iba yung wedding ring ko e."
Aps and Jocs (ang mga inosente): (no reaction)
Jim, Jme and Jeff (ang mga not-so-innocent): "Mmffftt... WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Kahit takot kami kay Athan ang hirap pa rin magpigil ng tawa e. Hahahahaha XD
Hahaha wait 2 am na pala. Tulog muna. Btw my apologies to the people who will not get any of this. Really sorry. I was very sleepy while I was writing this. Haha. Good morning! :D
Akalain mo nga naman.
CC: Sir Butch, Sir Jay

Tuesday, November 06, 2007
I can get soooooo bored sometimes...
Which just goes to show you how bored I can get. ;))
About Me:
I love eloquent, articulate people.
Ako ay isang part-time Japayuki.
Mahal ko ang Arashi.
Pasado na 'ko ng PhilNITS.
Pasado na rin ako ng Level 3 sa Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Konnichiwa.
I have two puppies. EJ's the cute one and Utoy's the funny one.
I could have been the best friend you ever had. Kaso naunahan ka na ni Phoebs.
I try to get along with everybody. "Try" being the operative word.
Do not be deceived. I am not a nice person.
I. Don't. Dance.
I hate liars. If you are one, don't let me find out, or else I'll never trust you again. EVER.
I am a frustrated guitarist. I try, though. Tanungin mo pa si Tin.
I love Conan O'Brien. You should too.
I have to win. Always.
Ang F4 ay F4. Totoo.
I have dozens of crushes. The more, the many-er. If you're gay and cute I am probably in love with you.
Hindi ko alam kung saan nagtatapos ang pakikisama at nagsisimula ang pakikipagplastikan.
Gusto kong maging RAKSTAR.
Gusto ko si Chandler Bing.
Ayoko na sa iPod, dahil may Zen na 'ko.
I am a very loyal friend, if you deserve it.
Kung ayaw mo sa 'kin, mas ayaw ko sa 'yo, ulul.
I have the unfortunate tendency of wearing my heart on my sleeve.
Maganda ang boses ko... pero depende sa kanta.
Mayabang ako.
I collect quotable quotes.
Pinanganak na 'kong malungkot ang mukha, kaya wag mo nang itanong.
I don't want to wake up at 40 with the bitter realization that I wasted my life on a job I hate because I was forced to decide on a career in my teens.
When I get depressed, I do one of two things: chain smoke, or go shopping at National Book Store.
Naiirita ako - sobra - sa mga naghoholding hands at nagp-PDA.
I am basically a shy person. Pero pag click na tayo, bastusan na.
Mahal ko ang mga kaibigan ko.
I am genetically predisposed into thinking the best of people. Pero kung ayaw mo, huwag mo. Walang pilitan.
I am a Brangelina fan.
Finally, tulad ng sabi ni Ethan Hawke, I am not under any orders to make the world a better place. Kaya steady lang ako.
Basahin ang mga katarantaduhan, kadramahan, at katatawanan ni Jamie sa http://jmeblags.blogspot.com.
May Multiply account na nga pala 'ko! Eto o: http://japz20.multiply.com. Dahil better late than pregnant. :D
Di ba hindi naman ako bored? Saka hindi sya punong-puno ng inside jokes na mga tunay na Friendsters ko lang ang nakakaalam? Hahaha XD Anyway the next - category? - changes from time to time. Once a year, I guess, depende sa mga kasama ko. From the oldest to the latest.

My aim is to post one quotable quote per day, since I have Internet access at home already. One quotable quote per day for five months. Marami-rami rin yon. :D

What Jamie Has Been Up To Since Last Time
September 26, Wednesday
"Walang Ganito Sa Japan" Despedida No. 1: Napasubong manlibre sa UCC. Buti 700 lang pera ko nun. Di naman ako nagyaya nun bakit kailangang ako manlibre. Poor!
September 27, Thursday
"Walang Ganito Sa Japan" Despedida No. 2: Babay mga kawawang nilalang. Inumaga sa despedida di nakapasok nung umaga. Na-guilty naman ako.
September 28, Friday
"Walang Ganito Sa Japan" Despedida No. 3: Bye officemates. Salamat sa random dinner sa KFC.
September 29, Saturday
"Walang Ganito Sa Japan" Despedida No. 4: Bye mga tsong. Clubs pag-uwi ko.
September 30, Sunday
"Walang Ganito Sa Japan" Despedida No. 5: Bye family. Sensya na up to the last minute kailangang mag-OT. Love, Tita Jamie.
October 1, Monday
First day (pangatlong beses na) at KMBT Itami. Walang katapusang "Ohisashiburi desu!" ("Long time no see") sa mga boss. Nakita ko ulit si Lunch Guy. Pakshet ang gwapo nya pa rin. Ampogi rin ng boss ko, jackpot - si Sugano-san, a.k.a. Anjo. Ampogi rin ng boyfriend nya - si Yoshida-san, a.k.a. Boyfriend. Pota jackpot talaga. Kailangang pagplanuhan kung paano sila paghihiwalayin. Pagtitigisahan namin sila, harharhar. >XD
October 4, Thursday
Nagpadinner ang napaka-hot daddy naming VP, si Ishikawa-san a.k.a. TI. Nakipagkita kami sa kanila ni Sir Butch sa Osaka at naghapunan ng kung aniks-aniks na Japanese food - hilaw na puso ng isda, hilaw na pusit, tenga ng God-knows-what, adobong hapon, sashimi, nabe, at marami pang iba. Pinainom nya rin kami ng sake na lasang vodka. Stig. In fairness galante sya. In fairness nakaka-in love pa rin sya kahit gusto nyang pag-usapan tipong GNP saka GDP ng Pilipinas at Japan. Wtf, nakalulon ng encyclopedia amp.
October 7, Sunday
Shopping day ni Aps sa Blossom, somewhere in Osaka. In fairness ang mura talaga. Got to buy a pair of grey and black low-cut Chucks for \2900 (mga P1160) and a blue Nike backpack for \2000 (P800). Pwede na. Ako pala yung nag-shopping, damn you Aps you didn't buy anything.
October 13, Saturday
After work, Jim, Jeff, Jocs, and I had dinner with Higashi-san, a random Japanese guy Jim became friends with. May hila-hila ring mga kaibigan si Higashi-san - si Wakako-san, isang chicks, at saka si Umeda-san, isang napakakulit na Hapon. After dinner nagkaraoke kami. First time ko mag-karaoke sa Japan! By the end of the night naging Azuma-san (different yomikata ng Higashi), Waka-pai (bastos 'to if you know what "oppai" means), at Umeda-chan (close na kami e) na ang tawag namin sa kanila. Bait, kulit pati magkaraoke ng mga Hapon. Todo-bigay kahit lintik sa pangit ng boses. Harharhar >XD
October 15, Monday
First day nina Sir Butch at Sir Dante sa KMBT. Si Sir Vince nasa KMC naman. Grabe bantay sarado na kami, katapat ko pa yung dalawa sa upuan ko. Three managers in Japan. Who the hell is managing in the Philippines?
October 21, Sunday
May have been the most expensive day EVER. Had brunch at Carnival's eat-all-you-can buffet, then went to Nippombashi in search of a laptop. Was supposed to buy either an IBM Thinkpad (T-series), a Dell Interio, or a Sony Vaio, but ended up buying an HP Pavilion TX1200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC (RX695AV). AMD Turion dual core, 2GB memory, 120GB HDD, 12.1 inch screen, DVD-RW drive, 802.11a/b/g with Bluetooth support, Windows Vista Premium OS, tablet PC. 5% off. Plus free HP printer. ANO MAY ANGAL PA? PWEDE NA DI BA?
October 27, Saturday
Went to Kyoto to retrieve SpongeBob SquarePillow, who I forgot on the train on the way home from the airport. One month nya kong inantay sa JR Kyoto Station. Anyway the four of us - Aps, Jeff, and Jocs - rented bikes and rode around the awesome city. Saw Nijo castle (Nijou? Nijojou? Whatever) pero sa labas lang, tas went to see the Golden Temple (andaming cute Caucasians), tas was supposed to head on to Gion to see the geishas kaso ginabi na kami, so I toured them around the JR station na lang since it was my second time already. Stig pa rin. Went to the Sky Garden (lampungan place), the gazebo place (second lampungan place), and the Skyway (the best lampungan place) to see the Kyoto Tower. Stig stig stig. May Starbucks Kyoto tumbler na rin ako sa wakas, harharhar :D
Octobe 28, Sunday
Moved house to Leopalace Wish, near the Hankyuu Itami station. This is going to be my home for the next five months. (Check it out here: http://www.leopalace21.com/apps/searchCondition/detail/apno20329.html) Can it be any more perfect? Malapit sa train station, sa 100-yen store, sa supermarket, sa karaokehan, sa ramenan, sa inuman. 15 minutes bike ride to the office. Tapos "Wish" pa pangalan nya. Ryan this is a sign, I'm telling you. Omg fangirl moment. Machi ni ai no uta, nagarehajimetara... hahahahaha XD
October 31, Wednesday
"Walang Ganito Sa Pinas" Despedida for Aps and Jocs, who will be returning the following day. Mr. Nonkiya, our favorite neighborhood okonomiyaki store, threw a nabe (hotpot) party for nine of us, completely free and totally delicious. Grabe talaga sa ingredients, halo-halo ng mushrooms, cabbage, ramen, pork, chicken, at kung ano-ano pa. First time ko mag-nabe party, nakikita ko lang dati yun sa mga J-doramas e. Ang sarap! I want another nabe party, demet!
November 3, Saturday
Woke up to find Jim curled up on the carpet below me (I was sleeping in the loft). Inantok sa wakas sa kapapanood ng Onepiece nya. Around noon, accompanied Sir Butch and Sir Dante to Rimuna to retrieve Jocs' bike, then me and Jim had went to the 99 yen store to hunt for cheap lunch. Grabe andami naming kinain, all for around \800 (P320) between the two of us. At 3:30, met up again with Sir Butch and Sir Dante for some wholesome karaoke fun. Shempre performance level yun no, andun si Jim e. Natapos kami around 7:30, tas dinner sa KFC , plotting with the managers on how to get Lunch Guy's heart. Closing na nung 10 pm, so bumili na lang kami ng beer sa vendo, tatlong order ng takoyaki sa kanto, onting chichirya sa convenience store, tas diretso na lang sa bahay ko for one round of wholesome inuman. Next week ulit.
November 4, Today
Woke up to Jeff ringing at the door.
Jme: (groggy pa) "Ey Jeff."
Jeff: (ecstatic, carrying his SLR) "May temple pala dito sa neighborhood natin! Naubusan lang ako ng film kaya bumalik ako!" (runs off)
Jme: "What the hell just happened."
Fuck morning people talaga o. Hahaha. Anyways may nagsabi sa 'kin na parang suicidal raw ako nung huli kong post. Ganon ba kadepressing. Ngayon medyo - MEDYO - ok pa naman ako dito, kahit work-wise. Kinakabahan lang nang kaunti kasi ayokong madisappoint sa 'kin si Anjo, ampogi pa naman nya. Ayun. Namimiss ang mga tao sa Pinas. Buti araw-araw kong nakaka-chat si Utoy. Na laging nagpapabili ng Game Boy. Wtf.
Naka-one month na pala 'ko dito no. Woohoo, five months na lang!!! Hahaha XD Ja ja ja bye muna for now. Gotta find dinner muna. Ja ne.

Babay.
dala-dala ang proyektong C40 Debug. Dalawang buwan na
akong halos nakatira sa opisina. Alam 'to ng lahat -
ng pamilya, kaibigan, katrabaho. Hindi ito naging
madali. Madalas akong pumunta sa balkonahe ng building
namin upang gawin ang isa sa dalawang bagay - ang
magyosi, o i-contemplate ang pagtalon mula sa ikatlong
palapag.
Bukas aalis ako papuntang Japan, for three to six
months. Iiwanan ko na ang C40 Debug para sa GLM Debug.
Ngayong huling gabi ko sa Pilipinas para sa taong ito,
andito ako sa opisina, inaayos ang ilang bagay na
humabol pa.
Ito lang ang masasabi ko. Minsan sobrang sakto ng
horoscope ko sa Friendster.
The Bottom Line
Take advantage of positive energy by planning a lavish
night out with some friends.
In Detail
Give something a final farewell push today -- a
project, a relationship, or even just an old piece of
furniture. It is taking up way too much room in your
life and in your heart. You've done all you can with
it, and now it's someone else's duty to carry it on
down the line. This release will lighten you load and
make you feel quite carefree for a few days. Take
advantage of this positive energy by planning a lavish
night out with a few close friends.
So. Ayun na nga. Two close friends, to be exact.
Tangina ayoko talagang umalis. Kaso hamak na empleyado
lang ako.
Babay. Takits na lang pagbalik ko.
Monday, August 27, 2007
Dahilan kung bakit ako lumilipad
last updated this thing. Anyway I've been living in
the office for the past two weeks, courtesy of my very
very easy project. Oh, did I mention that it's very
easy? It is. I've been going home 6 am most mornings
and coming in at around lunch. Boss ako e, ba't ba.
God, I looooooove my project. I love it so much I will
spend every waking hour (around 20? 21?) working on
it. I love it so much I will spend Saturdays and
Sundays and very precious holidays in the office so it
won't get delayed. (Any MORE delayed, that is.) I love
it so much I'm gonna work myself to DEATH for it. Oh,
did I mention that I love it? I do.
Rollercoaster ride. I've been bitchy, whiny, grumpy,
sleepy, weepy, sickly, and every other dwarf that's
ever lived because of this God-forsaken project.
Lately I've been finding myself talking TO myself. In
Nihongo. "Shou ga fucking nee yo." (There's no
choice.) "Muri ni shifuckingnaide, men, muri ni
shinaide." (Don't over-exert yourself.) I swear to God
I used to be normal.
"Used to be normal." That is my latest catchphrase.
So. Because I am such a fangirl, I will just hope and
pray that Kimura Takuya was right. Here he is, in his
finest, as Hidetoshi Sena in "Long Vacation":
人間何やってもダメな時は、
神様がくれた長いお休みだと思って。。。
無理に走らない、
焦らない、
頑張らない。
自然に身を委ねる。
そしたら、よくなる。
たぶん。
[Translation]
Why don't you think of it this way?
It's a long vacation.
There's no reason to rush.
There are times when no matter what you do, it doesn't
work out.
No matter what you do, it's no good.
At times like that, it may sound strange, but why
don't you think of it as a vacation from God?
Don't force yourself.
Don't rush.
Don't try harder.
Just let everything take its natural course.
(Then?)
Things will improve.
(Really?)
Probably.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. On a totally different note
which totally destroys the tone of this post, a
quotable quote:
I Know More Than You Do: i'm not the one that's one
slice short of an apple pie
I Know More Than You Do: wtf kind of metaphor did i
just use
Merit Ako Don't Fuck With Me: i have NO idea
Merit Ako Don't Fuck With Me: i think it's pecan pie?
Merit Ako Don't Fuck With Me: hahahahahahaha
Merit Ako Don't Fuck With Me: one nut short of a pecan
pie?
Merit Ako Don't Fuck With Me: wahahaha ang labo
Merit Ako Don't Fuck With Me: XD
I Know More Than You Do: it is? basta... gets mo naman
e
I Know More Than You Do: XD
Merit Ako Don't Fuck With Me: wahahahahahahaha XD
Wahahahaha XD Sorry kung sa 'kin lang benta 'to. It
was really funny, promise. O sya back to work. Here I
go. Wheeeeeee.

Time Traveling with Kuya Ching
made-delay yung flight namin, buti hindi. Anyway
daming trabaho, di ako masyado makasulat.
So ayunanga, kahapon nakita namin ni Dulce si Raymond
Bayongan alyas Kuya Ching sa smoking area ng building
namin - apparently, asa 8th floor pala namin yung
office nya. (FYI, umalis sya nung second year ata
kami.) Anyway nagpapakwento sya about the rest of the
admuECEzerofive peeps, tapos dumating dun sa point na
ganito na yung usapan:
Ching: "Kumusta na kayo ni Elbert? Kayo ni Butch?"
Dulce and Jamie: ???
Wahahahahaha XD Napaisip pa talaga 'ko kung sino si
Butch e, hahaha :D Are we in 2001?!? Tas yung
walanghiyang si Ching hindi na pala alam yung pangalan
ko! Basta alam lang daw nya J yung simula. Skwater.
Haha. At take note pala, mas marami pa syang alam na
updates tungkol kay Cris Silva kesa sa 'min ni Dulce.
Bakit kaya.
So. Next time na ang mga Japayuki stories Abs. Saka
Japayuki pics. Grabe work load, kaasar! Grr. Ja ne.

Hayai Renraku
Don't have much time, dami kong kwento(!), pero next
time na yun. Anyway pauwi na kami sa Sabado, weather
permitting. Apparently may super typhoon daw na
parating sa Japan today tas andaming cancelled
flights, pero hopefully by Saturday ayus na ang lahat.
Gusto ko nang umuwi e. Enjoy sa Japan, pero namimiss
ko na rin ang mga tao saka ang napakasarap na luto ng
nanay ko. Haha.
Yun lang, back to work. See you soon!

Bored sa Office Mode
Daria: "Only when I'm awake."
I am so bored. Week-long vacation sa Konica Minolta, pero I've been coming here to the office with Jim since yesterday for some OT-OThan. (Besides, wala akong laptop sa apartment e, haha :D) Anyway some updates!
- July 8, Sunday, arrived in Japan with Jim, Aps, Aldy, and Sir Art.
- July 9 to 13, AIDS (as if doing something) mode sa office.
- July 14, Saturday, libot around the South Tsukaguchi area with fellow KMBT peeps Jim, Aps and Aldy. Looked for Hana Yori Dango manga in vain. :'(
- July 15, Sunday, libot ng Nippombashi electronics district with the KMBT peeps, then met up with Kyocera Mita Corp (KMC) peeps Marci, Lany, Ren, Steph, and Bodgie at Universal City para pumetix, tapos tuloy sa apartment ni Steph for some Gokusen and some drinking (grabe si Ren tomador na).
- July 16, Monday, national holiday! Sarap ng almusal (shot ng Kahlua - in fairness may gatas). Punta ng Osakajokoen with the KMC peeps (kase dapat lahat ng Action Batch 7 makapunta dun) and then to Shinsaibashi for more money-burning fun. Nagpaka-adik sa percussion game (Seiseki happyou!) Grabe galit na galit sa pera mga KMC peeps.
- July 17 to 20, AIDS mode na naman sa office.
- July 21, Saturday, luto, laba, linis ng bahay. Punta ng 99 yen shop with Jim. Nagpaka-wholesome.
- July 22, Sunday, went to Yodobashi Umeda with Aps and Aldy. Supposedly if you can't find what you're looking for there, you won't find it anywhere else in Japan. Well wala akong nakitang accessories para sa Zen ko don. Shiyet.
- July 23 to 27, week-long Konica Minolta holiday!
Nooni nooni noo. Dami ko nang na-upload na pictures sa Multiply account ko, go see! http://japz20.multiply.com.
I told you I was bored. Anyway quotable quotes muna before I go:
Kawawa naman ang PAL
Jamie: (after alighting the plane) "Grabe si Jim, nagnenok ng unan..."
Jim: "Si Aps kaya nagsabi sa 'kin."
Jamie: "Ulul."
Aps: (suddenly pipes up) "Matigas yung unan ng Leopalace e!" (proceeds to show her own PAL pillow stashed in her bag)
Jim's Japan Tipid Tips
Jim: "Wag ka nang kumain sa gabi... konting hilo lang naman yun e."
Demonyohin si Jim!!!
Aldy: "Sama ka sa 'min libre ka namin dinner."
Apany: "Wag ka na mag-church... Mag-pray ka na lang sa bahay..."
July 12
Jim: "Independence Day ba ngayon?"
Jme: "Ha? June 12 yon."
Jim: "Hindi ba June ngayon?"
Jme: "July na."
Jim: "July na ba?"
Akihabs!
Jim: "Bili mo 'kong desktop computer sa Akihabara."
Aldy: "Sure ba!"
Jim: "Gusto ko pati printer."
Aldy: "Sige!"
Jim: "Gusto ko multifunctional printer."
Hard disk shopping
Bodgie: "Sa 400 gigs, kasya na dun lahat ng porn mo. Kaso di pa kasama dun yung gay porn."
Daniel: "E mas importante pa nga yung gay porn."
Bastos ni Aldy
Aldy: "Ipagpapalit mo na 'ko kay Jim... kaya nya bang ibigay sa 'yo yung maibibigay ko? Hindi titigasan sa 'yo si Jim. Kailangan mo ng isa pang lalaki sa kwarto."
Jme: "E ano pang silbi mo?"
Mga Tanong ni Aps
Jim: "Maglalaro kami ni Jamie ng ano... electric stove."
Aps: "Ha? Anong game yon?"
Jim: "Pwede naman kasing mag-enjoy kahit walang top saka bottom e."
Aps: "Side by side?"
Welcome to Aldy's Apartment
Jme: "Ganda ng boxers a."
Aldy: "Leave me alone!!!"
Yet another boxers quote
Jamie and Aldy running; Aldy suddenly stops.
Aldy: "Paalala mo nga sa 'kin na wag tayong tumakbo."
Jamie: "Baket?"
Aldy: "Kase naka-boxers ako."
Jamie: "So?"
Aldy: "Hindi supported yung stuff..."
Ang Itlog ni Ren
Ren: (seryoso) "Nabasag yung itlog ko. Siguro sa bike."
Watching Gokusen
Jamie: "Ren binabasa mo pa ba yung subs?"
Ren: "Minsan sinisilip ko."
Bodgie: "Oo. Tapos sasabihin nya, 'Mali. Chigau.'"
Pustahan
Marci: "Pustahan tayo - ay wag pala pustahan. Basta..."
Bodgie: "Na-praning ako dun a, binawi."
Jamie: "Bakit mo binawi?"
Marci: "Kase di ba masama makipagpustahan..."
Si Aps nakiki-boy watch
Aps: "Ang cute!!!"
Jme: "Saan?!"
Aps: "Yung car! Default mode mo kase boy watching..."
Ang sweet ni Anjo saka ni Boyfriend (two cute guys)
Jme: "Inggit ka?"
Jim: "Selos ako... ganito pala yung feeling ng nagseselos."
On boy-watching
Sir Jay: "Dapat alam mo yung limitations mo. Pag tumitingin ka sa kanya dapat hindi lustful."
May babaeng natutulog sa train na naka-skirt at nakabukaka
Jamie: "Grabe yung babae kanina. Nakita ko na yung langit e."
Jim: "Ako impyerno."
Kuleet. Haha. Ja ne.

Hello again Japan!
with Aldy, Apany, Sir Art, and Jim last Sunday night.
The weather's exactly the same in Manila - sporadic
rain showers in between unbearable heat. Last time I
was here I was freezing my ass off. Well at least
parang asa Pilipinas pa rin ako.
Got the Leopalace apartment with the loft again, stig.
It's exactly the same as the apartment I had last
time, except this one's a little older (because this
one doesn't have the awesome electromagnetic stove
from the future.) Oh, and the carpet's not ruined.
We're divided into teams - the A teams and the J
teams. Check it out:
Aldy - Onsei
Athan and Apany - I-Model
Jim and Jamie - C40 T&D
Sir Jay and Sir Art - C40 T
Ok, Sir Jay and Sir Art messed it up. But you get the
point. Tapos lahat pa ng A singkit. So weird. Parang
pinaglaruan kami ng management. Anyway! Enough of the
nooni nooni noo. MatsuJun news naman, hihihi ;))
Nakapanood ako kagabi ng show nila!!! Arashi no
Shukudai-kun. Ok, I understood like 20% of the
dialogue and it sucked that they had these extremely
hypertalkative guests (some stand-up comedian dudes)
kase less airtime for Arashi, pero oks lang kasi
nakasilay pa rin ako and can I just say? Parang mas
gwapo si MatsuJun pag sa Japan mo sya napanood!
Hahahahaha XD Hindi ko ma-explain e, pero parang...
mas feel mo sya. Hahaha :D
Excited na 'ko sa pagbili ng manga. Saka sa pagbili ng
accessories para sa Zen ko. Saka pumuntang Universal
Studios. Saka magkaroon ng paid one week summer
vacation sa Japan. Haha.
Some QQs muna before I go:
Boy watching at the airport
Jim: "Pwede yung naka-red."
Jme: (looks around, then laughs)
Aldy: (wearing red) "Nasan? Bakit kayo tumatawa?"
The Challenge
Jim: "Ayoko talaga ng ako yung hinahabol. Gusto ko ako
yung nahihirapan. Parang ganito." (looks at Aldy)
Jme: (laughs)
Aldy: "Bakit na naman?!?"
Kuleeeeet. XD

Re: comments
ung mga tao whose bdays fall from the 1st day of the
month the the 5th day. chances are, di na nila maalala
ung memorable year nila. haha. advanced hapi bday.
pasalubong ko ha!!!"
Sou desu ne. Oh well. Basta ako 25 yung birth date ko,
hahaha XD I promise I'll try to buy your Japanese
porn, Mike! Kaso nakakahiya atang bumili ng gay
porn... ;))
Abs: "crap, july na nga pala! dahil sobrang
nagpaka-busy ako nung june, i missed anne and jenica's
birthdays. patay. i have to greet you in advance
because i'll be in amsterdam on your birthday. :)
maligayang bati!"
Ako binati ko si Anne, hehe. Masyado ka kaseng busy sa
mga European Youth Media Days mo sa Brussels saka sa
mga Roskilde Festivals mo e! Grabe, you in a rock
concert. In Europe. At ano naman ang gagawin mo sa
Amsterdam?!? Omg Abs, calling Miss Olardi... XD
Apparently, my birthday falls on a week-long company
holiday at our client (Konica Minolta). So happy
birthday talaga. Hehe. Am I gloating? Sorry. A month
ago kase I was really wishing I could go back there
and buy all the Hana Yori Dango manga and Arashi CDs I
could find (kase di ba MatsuJun is the new Taylor
Hanson) and I remember thinking, hmm, sana next year
makabalik na 'ko.
I think I'm turning Japanese. I really think so.

Update
hilarious. period. shucks, naaalala ko na tinatawanan
ninyo ako kasi ginagamit ko yung salitang "hilarious".
times have changed. teppei=keita. kalahati ng WaT. :)
Abs di ko kilala si Teppei! Cute ba yan? Hahaha XD Di
pa rin ako maka-get over the fact that Japanese TV is
consistently hilarious... kulet sobra e. Yeah, times
have changed. Lapit na 2010 e. Global na pati tayo e.
Hahaha :)
Anyway. My college friends know this... well, Dulce
does anyway. I have this theory that whatever your
birth date falls on, the year you turn that age will
be an especially memorable one. For example, Abs's
birthday is March 29, so the year she turns 29 will be
extra special.
So. Enough with the back story. I'm turning 25 this
year. In Japan. La lang, just wanted to share. ;)

Re: comment
hanapin mo si mocomichi tsaka si teppei! :)"
Abs nakita ko na si Mocomichi mo. I watched him in
Tokyo Wankei, and apparently he's also in Gokusen 2.
In fairness, cute sya a. ;b Kaya pala meron syang
Pinoy-ish quality kase one-fourth Filipino sya. Wait,
sino si Teppei? The only Teppei I know is Kimura
Takuya's character in Karei Naru Ichizoku.
Dorama overload! Lately pati Japanese variety shows
pinapatos ko na rin... well, the ones with Arashi in
them, anyway. (Arashi -> MatsuJun's boyband) Japanese
TV is unexpectedly hilarious, grabe. Kahit
konting-konti lang yung naiintindihan ko sobrang benta
pa rin. Speaking of benta, some more office quotable
quotes before I go:
Masikip daw yung bagong uniform ni Mitzi
Sir Nep: "Pano yung uniform mo, papa-repair mo?"
Mitzi: (indignant) "Hinde a! Magpapapayat ako!"
Muscly
Mitzi: "Tingnan nga natin kung muscly ka." (throws
roll of tissue at Jami, sees if it bounces off)
Everyone: "Muscly?!?"
Mitzi: "Ay, muscular pala!"
Jme: (tries to save Mitzi) "Hinde, muscly yon, tinuro
kaya yon sa English class namin ni Mitzi."
Mitzi: (totally confused) "Tinuro ba ni Gad yon?"
Pants
Mitzi: "Jamie nakita mo ba yung pants ko na may butas
sa likod?"
Jme: "Hinde."
Sir Ritchie: (from halfway across the office, raises
his hand) "Ako gusto kong makita!"
Uh-oh
Jme: "Yun yung malulupet humirit e, si Bert, si Mitzi,
si Sir Ritchie."
Jami: "Mga weirdo."
Sir Nep: "Anjan lang kaya si Sir Ritchie."
Jami: (sabay bawi) "De, idol ko yon."
Maagang uuwi ang furniture (furniture kase Bert never
seems to leave the office, furniture is made of wood,
ergo Pinocchio. Whew haba ng explanation!)
Venus: (sees Bert leaving) "O, Pinocchio!"
Bert: "I'm a real boy now."
Kulet.

Quickie
recap of what's been up:
DVD marathons with Marie. Went to Quiapo three
weekends ago and bought a buckload of pirated goods.
- Meteor Garden (I and II)
- Silence
- Full House
- Jewel in the Palace
- To Marry a Millionaire
- Gokusen 2
- Grey's Anatomy season 3
- Heroes season 1
- 12 in 1 (includes all the Hannibal movies and The
Godfather trilogy)
- The Beatles
The first two are chinovelas, the next three
koreanovelas, the next one a J-dorama, and the rest
are Western. So far, I've only watched parts of Meteor
Garden and Grey's. Marie, on the other hand, has
already finished four series. Anyway been watching
J-doramas from the office din. So far I have watched
(in chronological order):
- Ichi Ritoru no Namida (One Liter of Tears)
- Nodame Cantabile
- Hana Yori Dango (Boys before Flowers)
- Tokyo Wankei (Tokyo Bay)
- GTO (Great Teacher Onidzuka)
- Long Vacation
- Gokusen (The Gangster Teacher)
- Karei Naru Ichizoku (A Splendid Family)
Right now I'm in the middle of watching Good Luck, a
dorama by Kimura Takuya (my crush, and apparently the
most famous actor in Japan), Kekkon Dekinai Otoko
("The Man Who Can Not Get Married"), and Nobuta wo
Produce ("Producing Nobuta"). Sabay-sabay. My favorite
dorama so far? Yappari... Hana Yori Dango, hands
down. Biased din kase ako siguro kase it's Meteor
Garden all over again. I mean, I know a year ago I was
bitching about the guys in HYD being, um, less
pleasing to the eyes than the Taiwanese F4, but I've
since reformed. God, I looooooove Matsumoto Jun.
Comment nga ni Abby sa bago kong obsession, "Matsujun
is the new Taylor Hanson!" OMG, I sooo wanna go back
to Japan and... hmm, I dunno. It's not like I'll see
him there. Well at least I'll know he's in the same
vicinity. Relatively.
Wala lang, just felt like updating kahit konti. I'm
just waiting for a bit of good news right now. Sana
oks na... anyway ja, back to work. ;b
Monday, June 18, 2007
All in a day's work (Reader's Digest ba 'to?)
Jme: "Ryan anong oras mo balak umuwi?"
Kabo: "Not yet."
Jme: "???"
Matsujun Movies
Kabo: "May bed scene pa nga raw si Matsujun dun e."
Jim: (suddenly pipes up from nowhere, smiling) "May
bed scene si Matsujun?"
Jme: "Oo, pero ito ang catch: ang title ng movie ay
'Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru.'" ('I'm In Love with
my Younger Sister')
Jim: (unfazed, still smiling) "Nasaan?"
What the hell did we do to Mitzi...
Aldy: "Si Mitzi laging ang saya, parang hindi
nagkaka-problema."
Mitzi: "TANGINA NAMAN O!"
Occupational hazards
Jim: "Ayoko ng masyadong matangkad."
Aps: "Kase magkaka-neck pains ka?"
First day of regularization
Jme: "Wow, naka-uniform na si Mitzi! Congrats!"
Mitzi: "Alam mo ba na-late ako!!!"
Comic Con 2007
Jme: "Kumusta comic con?"
Bert: (enthusiastically) "Ang saya! Ang ganda! Ang
daming figurines!"
Jme: "May nabili ka?"
Bert: "Wala! I took pictures!"
Masked Man
Bert: (enthusiastically pa rin) "Jeff, nagbebenta sila
ng Masked Man DVDs!"
Jeff: (starts to laugh uncontrollably)
Kabo: "Jeff, now's your chance!"
On the neck pains quote
Bert: "I know the feeling."
Kabo, Jeff, Jme: "What?!?"
Bert: "Because I took pictures!"
Walang kapaguran si Bert
Venus: "Pag mas mababa sa 'yo, luluhod ka?"
Bert: "Syempre. Para makita ko yung view."
Venus: "'I call it the view.'"
Sakit ng tiyan ko katatawa. Thanks guys. XD
