Jamie's Yearly Accomplishment Report

Exactly one year and six hours ago was the first time I went to Japan.

First picture (at Osaka Station with Athan and Aldy):


First dinner (yakiniku somewhere in Tsukaguchi):


First day of work (pang-koreanovela):


Di ko makakalimutan yung mga araw na yon. Ansaya e, lahat bago sa paningin ko. Lahat first time.

I've gone back two more times after that, and in total I have spent seven months of the past year here. (Shet more than half.) So what have I been doing all that time?

On the technical side,
1. Finished first KMBT project; learned Flash and Rhino.
2. Finished second KMBT project; learned that I suck at programming.
3. Currently finishing third KMBT project; became 制御１３開発窓口; learned that I will forever suck at programming.

On the other hand,
1. Had picture taken with clueless Lunch Guy.
2. Became trainee of the hottest guy in KMBT Itami.
3. Found out hottest guy in KMBT Itami is married. :(
4. Became friends with forever clueless Lunch Guy.
5. Had picture taken with clueless boyfriend of the hottest guy in KMBT Itami.
6. Found out clueless boyfriend is married. :(

Ugh. Latest yung 6, fresh pa yan from yesterday. Nagyoyosi break kami ni Jim sa hard core smoking room tas tiyempong kinorner ni Jim si Boyfriend.

Jim: "Yoshida-san... ano... Jamie-san wa kikitai koto ga arimasu." ("Boyfriend... ano... may tanong sa 'yo si Jamie."
Boyfriend: "Eh?"
Jamie: "?!?"

POTA BINENTA NA NAMAN AKO, HAYUUUP. Anyway chinika-chika sya ni Jim about stuff, and the end result is I will never forget the following dialogue, after Boyfriend said his province is near Tokyo.

Jim: "Doushite Osaka ni hataraite imasu ka?" ("Bakit ka sa Osaka nagtatrabaho?")
Boyfriend: "Ano... kekkonshita toki," ("Nung nagpakasal ako...")

After nung mga katagang "kekkonshita toki" nanikip na ang dibdib ko at wala na akong ibang narinig. Awts, straight through the heart. Pero di pa tapos.

Jim: "Kodomo ga imasu ka? Nan nin desu ka?" ("May anak ka na? Ilan?")
Boyfriend: "Futari." ("Dalawa.")

OUCH TATLONG KUTSILYO SA DIBDIB. Hindi ko matanggap, may asawa na si Boyfriend... limang buwan nya 'kong nilinlang!!! Hindi man lang sinasabi na may asawa't anak na sya!!! (Hahaha as if XD) Anyway apparently he's at least 30 or 31 years old, pero mukha syang mga 27 lang siguro. Grabe naman MAGSUOT KA KASI NG SINGSING NO BUTI PA SI ANJO.

Haay. Alalahanin na lang natin the gorgeousness that is Boyfriend.


In loving memory. Haha. Anyway ugh tulog muna.

Update?!?

Okay, so I was scanning this site, right, it's about upcoming shows related to Arashi and whatnot, when I suddenly found myself screaming "WHAT THE FUCK!?!" at the monitor.

Natuwa pa 'ko e. Two hour special!!! Masaya yung Tokyo Friend Park, angkulet ng mga pinapagawa dun, tas Arashi special pa? Taena ansaya nun! Makakauwi kaya ako nang maaga? Monday pa naman yun, shet... andami ko agad inisip e. Tas nakita ko yung date.

03/31(Mo)

Astig di ba. The date I've been dreaming of for the past five months. March 31. Ugh. Makakauwi nga ako nang maaga nun. Haha. Just my freaking luck.


Haha. Lupet ng update ko no. Sorry na. Sinusubukan kong matulog nang maaga lately e. And besides I've been watching Proposal Daisakusen - which, by the way, I finished an hour ago. I don't know what the hell you think you're doing, but Yamapi - dear, sweet, Yamapi - twitching your mouth every other second does NOT necessarily mean you are acting.


In every scene he always looks like he just put something into his mouth he didn't agree with. Dondake. Sorry NEWS, hardcore Arashi fan 'to. Keep your leader, I like my Riida better. :D


Haha. Anyway, Proposal Daisakusen was ok. Extremely, excruciatingly, mind-numbingly FRUSTRATING, but it's got something to deliver naman. Medyo "ehh" lang yung actual ending, pero sige na nga. And Mike? Now we can talk about you being Iwase Ken. May layers-layers ka pang nalalaman. XD

Syet 3:30 na. Fine, tulog na nga. Ja ne.

Hmmm.

Reading my last post, I suddenly realized that I did not have my annual, inspiring, not to be missed, very upbeat, Very Happy Valentine's! Post. (see this, this, and this.)

And then I remembered, it's my sixth Valentine's Day without roses, without chocolates, without anything, without anyone. I spent this year's Valentine's Day at the office, with my Japanese robot officemates who don't seem to care about anything. Least of all the kilig they should be giving me because it's FREAKING VALENTINE'S DAY, Jesus H. CHRIST.

Wahahahahahaha XD Don't mind me, I couldn't sleep tonight. Jim's snoring away on my carpet and I... I can't sleep. And anyway I'm too old for all that Valentine's Day crap. Or maybe nakalimutan ko na. Which is... sad, either way. Hahahahaha XD

So in lieu of feelings I don't really know how to express, I will re-post quotes that maybe will make sense to all of us someday.

"You know what I want? I want a lot of things! I want to be with the woman I love on Valentine's Day! And I want her to love me back! And I want just one moment of relief from the gut-wrenching pain of knowing that that's never going to happen!"
- Joey, "Friends"

"Nagsisising
Matatapos ang gabing
Alam naman nating
Meron nang taning
Nagsisising
Gigising sa katotohanang
Di ka naman talaga akin
Di mo lang alam
Inaasam
Ang panahong
Makapiling ka
Sa una't huling pagkakataon."
- Sugarfree, "Mariposa"

"I'm not in love.
I'm not hurt.
My heart is not broken."
- Makino Tsukushi, "Hana Yori Dango"

"Single people shouldn't feel so shitty everytime Valentine's Day comes around, when everybody else seems to come around in pairs. It's THEM that should feel forsaken, THEY'RE the ones with self-esteem problems."
- Jamie, Whiny Little Freshman

What I genuinely like about Valentine's Day is that I can bitch about stuff, act all bitter and shit, and it'd be perfectly rational behavior. I like that. I mean, I do that the rest of the year anyways, but acting all bitchy and bitter during Valentine's is more meaningful. And special. :D

Because everyday is Valentine's Day for Anjo and Boyfriend

Haaaay... kanina tinuro ko kay Jim ang isang sooobrang gandang tanawin...

Si Anjo, nakaupo sa sahig sa harap ni Boyfriend, nag-uusap, both of them looking sooo gwapo and sooo sweet...

Napapabuntong-hininga na lang ako sa inggit at sama ng loob.

Later
Jamie: "Kinilig ka?"
Jim: "Nagselos ako."
Jamie: "Kanino?"
Jim: "Sa kanilang dalawa. Kanino pa ba."

Haha. Akala ko it's one or the other e. Pareho pala.

Ugh. Ang gwapo nyo naman kasing dalawa. Akin na lang kayo.

Harharhar laki ng problema ko 'no XD

Sige Ebisu Garden Place picture na lang ulit para masaya :D


Woohoo!!! Dapat sinulatan ko ng "Jamie was here!" yung upuan e, hahahahaha XD Ja, gunayt! :D

Ashley

For some reason, though Utoy speaks strictly English only, his accent's kinda Japanese. He pronounces his sister's name as "a-SHU-li", for one. Haha.

Wala share ko lang, mga pics na pinadala sa 'kin ni Ate of her bunso (and my niece) Ashley over the last few months.

In fairness, may times naman na mukha syang normal na bata. Tulad nito.


At saka nito.


Pero may times rin naman na ganito yung itsura nya.


At ganito.


Ganito rin.


And, most recently,


AMPANGET, WAHAHAHAHAHA XD Angkulet na ng mukha ni Ashley, mukhang pwede nang batuk-batukan 'to pag-uwi ko e.

At dahil kulang ang post pag wala ang pagmumukha nitong mga 'to, I add a final picture.


Hahahahahaha ang adik XD Sige yun lang, tulog na nga 'ko XD Nyt! :x
