Tokyo Wildlife

I wander and wonder around the concrete forests of Tokyo. It is magnificiently advanced yet it is just a transformed equivalent of a normal wildlife. Its rivers are paved and concrete, with fishes as vehicles that swim through and through around unending brooks and streams. Its eagles soar high above the clouds, featherless and roaring, as planes. Tokyo lights are far more brighter and neon because stars and moons were hanged over its lamp posts. Imprisoned for eternity, they form constillations over bridges and highways. Its inhabitants are of elvenkind; fair, white, and delicate, working from dawn till night. And in the hollows of their concrete, leafless, lifeless trees, they burrow for gold, tirelessly and senselessly. Then in the downfall of their strength, they head for home to rest only to be devoured in the belly of the subway serpentine train.

Reality Bites

I miss Philippines. Yup. And I'm dying to go home. I just arrived here in Japan last March and my four-month stay is like hell. The pressure, stress, and everything is not helping me to encourage myself to hold on to Japanese lifestyle and work attitude. Discrimination? hmmm, quite rampant and obvious. Some of my filipino friends agreed with me about it but I just can't agree with their idea to accept these things shoved right into your nose for the sake of money. Some people would dare to kiss butts for bucks. I maybe this poor but happiness and dignity still are my top priorities. Money is not everything (though money is really something huh). The only thought that keeps me hanging on here are the trusts my superiors gave me when they choose to send me here in Japan(was it really trust, or they just dont have a choice bwehehehe). It is worth all my struggle and determination. For those butts-for-bucks people? No wonder most filipinos are nothing but foreign workers rather than domestic businessmen. No offense here really, it is just that reality bites, and I still have respect for your individual opinion. I just could not care less.
