Bored sa Office Mode

Trent: "Daria, do you ever feel like maybe you're wasting your life?"
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.

Laging natatapos yung mga chat namin sa ganito, pansin
ko lang.

I'm bored. Nagrereview na naman ako ng C++. Gusto kong
bumalik sa flash, grrrr...

Hello again Japan!

For anyone wondering, I arrived safely here in Itami
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

Mike: "so... if what ur saying is true... kawawa nmn
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

Abs: "unexpectedly hilarious"? jme, jap TV is
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. ;)
