I unfortunately haven't updated anything for December yet, have I? I've been busy spending a week sleeping like a hobo in the library, followed by tiring hours of working to try and make my life more comfortable in the future--which is nothing spectacular in itself, as I'm sure there are many, many others who work harder than myself ( Read more... )

11月28日: On the day after I got back from Aomori, we decided to go eat yakiniku! I had to meet with someone regarding a part-time job so I thought I couldn't go, but ah, for an eat-all-you-can (tabehoudai), I prayed hard and managed to make it to both. Hehe! So we were myself, Ebib, Chris, Adrian, Rebecca, Jennifer, Gabriel, Racquel, and Marcela ( Read more... )

For my third and final day in Aomori on November 27th, it was snowing incredibly hard. I kind of regretted not bringing my heavy coat (which I've been using since the beginning of December now)! But in any case, undeterred, I decided to give the Art Museum and the Sannai-Maruyama Ruins another try. I got on the right bus, and made my way over to ( Read more... )

OPEN 18:00 / START 18:30My first GazettE live after being their fan for almost 5 years! I think my excitement got to the point where I was actually nervous to see them. Is that weird? 笑 ( Read more... )

Let me talk about my three day trip to Aomori Prefecture from November 25-27! (^o^)/ Aomori (青森) is the northernmost prefecture on Japan's mainland of Honshu, and shares a border with Akita. Getting there by the normal train (普通電車) takes about 3 hours and 40 minutes and costs 3620円 one-way, with one easily-done transfer. There's a slightly quicker ( Read more... )

11月21日: I woke up to a rather pleasant surprise! While it wasn't the first snowfall (初雪), it was the first snowfall to cover the ground! I suppose it's more slush than snow (especially after a while), but as someone from a tropical country, I neither know the difference nor care to. As long as it's white and makes a really nice sound (that reminds ( Read more... )

I woke up at 4AM on the 18th to go with Chris on a one-day trip to Iwate Prefecture, the prefecture right next to Akita. It was for a volunteer program by a club called AIU Supporter, aiming to help out those who were affected by the 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. Iwate, along with Miyagi and Fukushima were three of the most badly ( Read more... )

11月16日～17日Happo-cho part 2! I was sent to the same junior high school as last time, but with Tekle and Kobito now. The day went by a lot quicker as there was actually a schedule for us to follow compared to our first visit. We played a Jeopardy-type game with all three classes and levels (a.k.a. the whole school). We also caught an interesting ( Read more... )

What can I say about the past few days.... a lot! But let's catch up first (*・ω・)

11月9日: Another night with the Awesome Alcoholics of Akita (AAA)! Thanks for being the crazy bunch that you are. d=(´▽｀)=b
