We will be having 2 long weekends this month(Sept.17-19 and Sept.23-24) because of the two holidays: Keirou no hi(Respect for the Aged Day) and Shuubun no Hi(autumnal Equinox). It's only the 7th but already planning. Imagine going to work for just 3 days in a week? I will probably just "work" for a day because of the MFS(Monday&Friday Syndrome). You can't really focus at work on a Monday after 2

It just hit me. Six workmates are going home tomorrow. Two are not coming back, others may or may not.I got a hug from one of them this morning. I started thinking maybe this will be the last time i'll see her and i started to choke.Why do they have to spend time with me and leave? There will be no more lazy afternoons spent watching anything(decent). No more threats of them raiding my house

I started providing CO2 to my plants... again. Now the plants are invading whole tank. I added 5 "brigittae boraras" last saturday. My 18liter tank is now officially overcrowded. Grabbed this picture somewhere. The fish is really small I can't take a nice picture of it.Another stolen picture. Just want to show why glowlight is different from Cardinal tetra. Glowlights just have an orange stripe

While some of my friends are playing Fish Tycoon i challenged myself with the real thing! I lost 10 cardinal tetras and an ugly algae-eating creature the first week because nobody told me you're not supposed to buy fish the same day you get your aquarium. So I'm currently "cycling" my aquarium until it's ready for fishes! I checked many sites, bought all those test kits and water conditioner,

Got a new cellular fone for 1 yen! The only nokia fone in japanese market at present. Actually the first nokia fone i've seen here. I decided on switching from Docomo to Vodafone because of the latter's roaming services. I'm having some problems with it though. Im always running out of power!!! unlike previous fones i had this one seems to used up so much power... Got some scratches on it too

After sleepless nights packing everything i own(i'm telling you i own a LOT of trash) in boxes i finally moved out last saturday. Now i'm aching all over. My arms and legs are sore. My back aching. My fingers blistered. What else can i ask for?Thanks to all my friends who helped me! The guys helped me carrying boxes(most of them are really heavy). They even assembled the entertainment system and

A friend told me about the commercial in budweiser's site. Just click on "Get the ad you won't see during the big game!". Worth the laugh. (while you are in bud site, try their "GIVING LIP" feature under Entertainment... You can make a photo come to life!) Reminds me of the shock the world got when Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunctioned... Let me refresh your memories... Photo from The Onion

Remember that song? "Paraiso, help me make a stand, Paraiso, take me by the hand. Paraiso, make the world understand". Remember who sang that? Smokey mountain the second batch. The kid on the lower left(zhar santos), who turns out to be a girl (i thought the other girl is the dark kid with frizzy hair), passed the Las Vegas audition of American Idol. Never seen any episode of this TV show

I was playing a game and watching video on my PC the other day when i got the blue screen... the "blue screen of death" as most call it. It was an error with my video card. It probably got tired of my gaming. Too busy playing so i just ignored it, rebooted and continued playing... It's working perfectly lately but i know deep inside i'll see it again.

Japanese don't spend Christmas the way most of us do. It's not even a holiday here. "But they have Christmas Lights?" a friend asked. They do but just all those public places(malls, park, train stations). You can find some lights in some residential area but its really rare. I went out this afternoon(holiday here because its the Ambassador's day) and took some pictures. Sorry i dont know how to

Have you read John Grisham's Skipping Christmas? I did last year and was kinda having the same what-if-i-skip-christmas-this-year bug lately. Last Christmas was the the best Christmas i ever had. After spending Christmas here in japan for four years (1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002) i was able to muster some courage and ask for additional 3-day leave to be able to spend both Christmas and New year in
