Long time no see Daito-san.

Daito-san is executive in advertisement company. dirty old man. nice guy though.

Reimi's friend.

I met him one time maybe 3 or 4 years ago.

we went to expencive restaurant. nice meal.

He knew I was working for NOVA so he worried about me and he offered me a job at DENTSU. Dentsu is the biggest advertisement company in Japan!!!!

hmmmm, I might take it....

after we went to bar and met comedians( they are Reimi's friends).

and enjoyed some magic.

missed last train. whatever.

Working at NOVA again

Today was the first time I got inside of Nova Head office Osaka.

Today I work here as a part time. 8000 yen a day. they pay me right after we finish work. cash.
Good deal I think. I need money.

make all teachers and staff's unemployment certificates, official resignation forms.
just write write write write......

So, I was writing down everybody's recent salary on forms and I found out how good money they get. many staff got over 600000 yen a month! shit.

really shit.

even teachers got twice than me. I m a loser. haha.

KYOTO with my mom

We went to SOOOOO many places today!

first, we were planning to go to Higashiyama but we stopped off at Tofukuji.

Tofukuji is famous for filming. especially beautiful bridge.

It was very busy with tourist groups and school excursion.

after enjoyed Tofukuji, we took train to Kibune and Kurama.

We accidentally passed over the mountain. It was so hard. It took more than hour or maybe 2 hours. very Shindoi.

then, we went to Higashiyama area. badly Yasaka shrine was under construction.

but Kofukuji, SO beautiful. breathtaking red leaves played on the pond.
I kinda feel scared looking at them.

They are like fake! too beautiful. and when I stared into pond, i can t explain well but really feel like i m in different world or something.

after, went to some shrines and Kiyomizu . there were so many people but It was worth to see. really. speechless....

thanks mom!!!! I mecha Love you!

Bye bye Kobayan

Kobayan will leave Osaka. going back to Tokyo 2 days later.

another farewell here. everybody s leaving and It sucks.

we were contemporaries at work.

We shared bad time, good time.

I will definitely miss him.

life goes on.

Kyoto Kouyou Day & meet Reimi in Namba

Yesterday I got phone call from john , He invited me to go to Kyoto with him and his friend Megumi.

I thought we will go there by train but Megumi drove. I love driving! I was excited !

First We went to To-ji. near Kyoto station huge temple. It was magnificent!
next, Nijyo-jyo the world heritage. I wanted to come here long time so I was really happy. I actually went there when I was a elementary school student for excursion.

after Nijyo-jyo, we drove to Seimei-jinjya. the one for famous fortune teller.

then went to Fushimi, sightseeing around there. Terada-ya(famous for Sakamoto Ryoma's assassin), Sake factory. At sake factory, We drunk a lot! and ate Sake ramen after. got drunk.

We accidentally met Kumiko who used to work with me, she lives there.


Well, we enjoyed beautiful Autumn Kyoto, and went home.
But my day wasn't finished yet. I went to Namba to meet my best friend from University Reimi.
Reimi is crazy. I love her. very funny girl.
She is still going to Collage. 7years now, hahaha. But this year, finally She will be able to graduate! congratulations!

nice meal, drunk too much. Reimi and I went to Australia together for 6 months 5 years ago. every time we meet, we talk about Australia life. so many good , nice and crazy things happened. for example, my other best friend got drunk and punched police officer, drunk and passed out, ate boxes of Tim Tam at one night. more.............good old time.

I love you so much. It was a really really nice day. Kyoto was awesome but Reimi made my day!

Eel Day

I was busy packing my stuff.

Sachiko offered me a dinner tonight so I went to her house. Zunko was there too.
Shou, Etsuo, Sachiko, Zunko and I went to eel restaurant.
Its realy small place but sachiko' s friends run there and It is expensive!!!!

I didnt like eel until I ate it in here actually.
now i love eel.

We ate a lot!!! I can t move right now. so good.

Shou and I played Hanafuda later. Hanafuda is a traditional Japanese card game. Its beautiful.
I used to play but I don t remember how to play anymore.. shou told me how to.

It was kinda my first time playing Hanafuda but everytime I could beat him. haha.
shou was angry. nice. cool kid.

Back to Osaka again. Hiking in Tatsuno, Korien Quest and Sachiko's place

My father had another business trip in Osaka today, and he drove me back there today.

before I headed to go there, I went to mountain climb near my house early morning with my mother.
It was perfect day to hike! We were expected beautiful Autumn leaves but it was too early for them. It is weired. usually the leaves turn in end of November.but not yet. maybe 30%of it.
crazy weather.
Japan didn't have fall this year. summer then winter.

But it was still beautiful. and There was a festival so We were lucky! (my hometown is called ''little Kyoto'' and Its one of the sightseeing places actually)

noon, we started to go back to Osaka.

at Kyobashi station, I accidentally met Namlita. she was about to go to Korien to visit Adam for looking around his place. Adam s going back to America next month so She is thinking to take his apartment after he leaves.
well, I decided to go Korien with her.

so It was the start for little Korien Quest.
Korien is like '' Beverly hills in Osaka'' as Adam says. Its nice neighbourhood actually.
It was fun to look around Korien neighbours. It has everything we need. I really like there.
If I will live in Osaka again someday, I think I will choose Kori to live.

we ate early dinner in The Meshiya and went to Toys'r'us. Oh I love there!!!
I was excited! crazy robots, transformer etc.little fight with Adam with soft sword. I bought Mini puzzle and few German snacks. spoiled.I think I could spend all day in Toysrus!!!

Here is mask man Adam. haha.

But I had promise to meet Sachiko for dinner so Me and Nam said bye to Adam and went back to Kyobashi.

I took bike to Sachiko's house for dinner.
She has a Kid 9 year old boy Sho. Little kid grow up so fast! I haven't seen him maybe only 2 or 3 months but I was surprised to see him!

We enjoyed Nabe and playing some table game. nice family time.
nice wine, nice dinner.
We played Wii after that.

They told me that they just went to Orlando, Florida for travel. They showed me some pictures and It reminded me a lot of things in Orlando.... oh my god I miss there so much...

I really wanna go visit there sometime.... hopefully soon.

It was really busy day and tired but good tired. nice day.

First move out

I packed so many shit in my tiny room. My father had his business trip here in Osaka, and He and my mom helped me to move stuff away to my hometown by car.

So tired....

Went to some supermarkets to collect cardboard boxes for packing, bought packing tape and garbage bags.
My tiny apartment doesn't have elevator so It is actually very hard to bring my stuff down to 1st floor(my room is in 3rd floor). its a perpendicular staircase.

then my cousin who lives near me in Osaka came to my apartment to help me.

after my father finished his work, we drove back home.

I went to bed really early today.

I like my hometown but I don't know if its good to ''live'' here. because there is nothing.
convinience store closes at 11pm, no Izakaya around my house, take 10 mins by car to the closest station.
I still like it though. mountains, river, field, red ***k people, nature is good.

..............I gotta think carefully what i will do........

Sachiko and Zunko

I met sachiko. she is ex NOVA student in Imafuku tsurumi. She s really cool my Osaka mother.

We went to Gamo 4 chome's Coffee shop which she used to work.

She actually lost her baby few weeks ago, I really feel sorry for her....

Sachiko paid for everything today.

I had fortune teller thing. I m scared now. My life sucks.

I went SOME fortune tellers before but they said same thing too.....

I hope my life wont be so bad.

Later we went to Imafuku to meet Zunko to drink.

Zunko s so cool.

then Karaoke. Sachiko was a singer before and now she is thinking to be a singer again in some Hotel lounge or have her own bar.

and whats crazy is She is actually thinking to hire me as that her future bar's owner. She already have a blue paper for her future bar and she is now finding the place for bar.

haha.

I might do it.

he said she will go to Peru with me in 2008. cool.
