July 25 - With the Hachiyama Test members. Hasegawa-san and Kudo-san. Soochuu fountain all the way. Got a little hang-over the next day. I would really miss these cool guys. I worked with them on my entire stay in Japan, with the same project.

June Countdown has Ended

Yes, June has ended. Supposedly it was made thinking that I will be leaving Japan when June ends but somehow it was postponed on the first day of August. So what now? I'll spend a two-week business trip in Cebu form July 4 - 18. Then I'll spend the remaining two weeks in Japan for preparation of my trip back home. Whew, I will miss Japan anyway. I wish I could come back here someday but NOT as NEC employee.

But somehow, I managed to jot down the events happened last June 2007. As I went through over it, I realized my life here in Japan is eventful and interesting. The memories were overwhelming, funny, boring yet unique. But I will soon be leaving this place. A place where some people wishes to visit and live is now a place where I wish to leave and hate to live. Ironic isnt it? The grass is always greener on the other side - so the usual phrase goes. But is it always? Or should we say - The grass always SEEMS greener on the other side.

But whatever, whenever - This experience and everything, the people, places, events, will be soon be part of my past, and because of it, I am a new person now, and there are more things like these the future has to offer. I will leave this place without turning my head back for I will be bringing its memories with me all along.

June Countdown (June 28-30)

June 28 - Same old same old. I recieved my plane ticket today for my business trip on July 4 to July 18 and the Narita Express ticket. On my way home, I bought 3 pcs chicken thighs for 365 yen from a convinience store in Shin-Kawasaki. This is my favorite past time meal; eating, listening to mellow music, while trudging the lonely walk from Shin-Kawasaki station to Leopalace. I will miss this things soon, but it doesn't mean I wanna do it again.

June 29 - Friday. Today is Ramon and Geff's last day of business trip here in MK, and MK would be back to normal. The usual looking-busy thing, dull moments, and sleepy heads will soon come back and make my days, Hahaha. But hey, we had a party in my room with Fukunaga-san and Akune-san. They drank my tequila stocks, Chivas, and table wine like tea, :D but it was fun anyway.

June 30 - Saturday. Ramon, Geff, Grace, and me went for an escapade. It was actually for Ramon and Geff's panic-sanpo-kind-of-thing farewell trip. (By thw way, they spent the night in my room while Akune-san on Grace's). Our route: Meet at Shinagawa at 2:30pm -> Ginza -> Tokyo Dome (we ate at Ichi-ran, and rode the roller coaster) -> Odaiba (Odaiba night was very romantic on summer, I wish I could visit this place again with someone special)

The splendid night Of Odaiba
