Confusion...

I really don't feel like going this time...
for some unknown reason... it feels weird...

Kakatapos ko lang mag-prepare ng mga
dadalhin ko... meron na akong oversized
na luggage courtesy of my dad... sabi ko
kasi yung mid-size yung kunin... binili
niya yung pinakamalaki... well... ganun
talaga yun ever since... :|

Atleast I have plenty of space para sa
mga bibilhin ko... hopefully hindi na ako
ulit mag-overspend this time... he he...
asa pa... :P

Nag last minute grocery pa ako para sa
mga pinapabili ni Jecal... tsaka yung mga
food supply ko din for 25 days...

Kamuntik ko pang maiwan yung isang
plastic na binili ko...
Got carried away with something... err
someone... :P
Hindi ko tuloy napansin na dalawa yung
plastic bag... he he...
or Inaantok lang siguro talaga ako... :D

I always get clumsy and crappy whenever
I'm distracted with something/someone... :P

Hope this gets better when I get there...
I'm losing it again... myself... :D

Pacman For President... :P

He he... ndi naman masyadong maraming tao...




Sa 2nd floor ako pumuwesto, kaya lang may tao
na sa harap ko kaya mahirap na kumuha...

nice person too... :D

Sayang yung 7.50

Lumagpas ako ng isang station sa LRT...

Hindi naman ako natutulog...

Medyo marami lang iniisip...

Sayang tuloy yung P7.50 ko... :(

First time for Everything...

Including spending the night in the office... :|

Nagkaroon kasi ng temporary shutdown ng power
sa building... kaya kailangan namin i-shutdown
ng maayos yung buong network then i-startup
din uli after ma-restore yung power.

Kaysa naman umuwi ako ng past 12AM...
Mas mabuti na ata na mag-stay na lang sa office...

Anyway... dahil walang ibang magawa dito...
I-popost ko na yung mga pictures ko on my
way back to Manila... :)

Baggages ko... 4 items


Frozen Tracks... Takasago Station


Close-up ng tracks

Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

Nabasa ko ito dun sa magazine sa plane
nung papunta ako sa Japan last January...
Nakalimutan ko yung title pero nung
return flight ko same parin yung issue
ng magazine kaya chineck ko ulit...

Thought it might be helpful to remind me of it...

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Thoughts, Emotions, Predictions...

Been really quite emotional lately... :|
Talking to people more... :)
Telling things I never thought I even could... :D

-------------------------------------------------

For those born under the year of the boar like me...
These are what awaits us in the year of the fire dog...

After a fairly uneventful 2005 the Pig will glad
to hear that 2006 will be a nice year and full of
surprises, you will still have a few ups and
downs but that is part of life. Relationships
will be good although the committed male Pig
will need to spend more time with their partner
to ensure they do not wander. Female Pigs will
be able to pick and choose, as they like. You
should take extra security checks on your
home or car this year as the robbery star is
quite strong, this is especially so for people who
have offices or main doors in the south. This is
for all parts of your security so if you are on
holiday, in your car or even someone trying to
steal your identity which has become very
common these days. Shred all papers with
personal information before throwing it away,
it may seem extreme but worth doing this year
and I suppose every year nowadays.

There will be new opportunities in business,
career and love this year and it will be a lucky
year which is nice as 2005 you had the wind
in front of you rather than behind. Earth Pigs
born in 1959 will have a very good time.

I really try not to believe in these kinds of things...
But hey, it's still something to look forward to... :D
Though much of it doesn't really apply to me... :P

Delayed...

Na-delay ng almost 5 hours yung flight ko
pabalik ng manila...
The original departure time is 9:30AM.

Nasa Airport na ako ng 8:03AM,
Pagpasok ko sa loob, nalaman ko na lang
na marami palang flights yung delayed...

Sabi dun sa announcement 11:20AM na
yung bagong departure.

Then binigyan ako ng 1500Yen na Food
and Drinks coupon, pero hindi ko na
ginamit... nag-picture na lang ako instead.

Bago pa ako makapunta sa B73 Gate,
pumila pa ako ng mga 30 minutes sa
immigration, sobrang bagal talaga
gumalaw yung pila... very unlikely of
the place... siguro dahil sa dami narin
ng tao dun sa Airport...

Meron dung mga natutulog na dun
sa gilid ng walkways eh...
May narinig pa ako na nung previous
night pa yung iba sa kanila.

Nung nakaabot na ako sa B73 Gate...
supposedly boarding time na
pero nasa waiting area pa lahat
ng tao... at ang dami nila... wala
akong maupuan... then yung Airplane
na naka-park sa harap namin
si hindi PAL... so mukhang matatagalan
pa ata talaga... :(

So nag-lakad-lakad na lang ako dun
sa buong 3rd Floor ng Narita Airport...
try ko sanang hanapin yung PAL na plane...

Then after several minutes more...
halos naubos ko na din yung 1GB na
memory ko sa camera... nag-announce
ulit na sa A66 Gate na yung boarding
ng PR 431... nung nagcheck ako sa map,
nasa kabilang dulo ng building yung A66,
buti na lang at medyo malapit na ako
sa gitna... kaya sure na mauuna ako dun
sa A66... he he... ayoko makipagsiksikan
sa mga tao eh, mainit yung suot ko.

Mga 12:50 na sila nagsimulang
mag-papasok sa eroplano...
Gutom na gutom narin talaga ako
that time... :S

Mga 1:30 na ata ako nakapasok
kasi sobrang haba ng pila...
hinintay ko maubos yung mga
tao bago ako pumasok... :P

Pagpasok sa plane, good news... sabi ng
Piloto hindi pa raw makaka-launch
yung eroplano kasi may 5 pang
nakapila for the runway... waahhh???

Anyway, mga 3PM JST officially
nakalaunch yung eroplano, 30 minutes
after nag-serve narin ng lunch...
sobrang gutom talaga ako nun... :|

Yung movie nga pala na pinalabas
sa plane is "In Her Shoes"... he he...
Seriously though, medyo naluha ako
dun sa isang scene... maaga kasi ako
nagising eh... sumasakit na yung mga
mata ko... :P

Anyway... I can't really remember
the rest of the flight... I was trying
to make a sleep pero ang hirap
kasi iyak ng iyak yung mga bata...
tapos ang ingay-ingay pa nung mga
katabi ko... :(

Mga 6:05 PST kami nakarating
sa runway, pero hindi rin kaagad
nakalabas ng plane... mga 10-20
minutes pa kami nag-hintay...
medyo nafefeel ko na yung tension
sa mga tao sa paligid... he he...
Nagtayuan ba naman... eh nasa
gitna pa ng runway yung plane...

He he... galit na galit yung stewardess
habang pinagsasabihan yung mga
tao na huwag kunin yung mga
gamit sa overhead bin... :P

Cutting the story short... almost
8PM na ako narating sa bahay...
Pagod... at may sakit na... the moment
na pumasok kami ng Philippine
Teritory sumakit na kaagad yung
throat ko... :(

Mga 10PM na ako natapos mag-unpack
at mag-ayos ng mga gamit ko.
Then nanood pa ako ng replay
ng laban ni Pacquiao sa TV... :D

Past 12AM na ako natulog...
He he... hindi ko parin ako nakakabawi
ng tulog... :(

Next time ko na lang i-post yung mga
airport pictures... dial-up lang kasi
ako dito sa bahay eh... :|

2nd BT: Last Day: Odaiba

Pahabol na post bago umuwi bukas...

Anyway... here are some shots from today...
Selected photos na lang kasi gusto ko na matulog...
Nakakapagod kasi maglakad... sobrang lamig...
Isa pa... blurred karamihan ng kuha... :(

of the harsh weather condition... Let's just say
that the name of my camera is 'Asuka'... :D
