I FINALLY GOT A KEITAI TODAY!!! HIP HIP HOORAY! HIP HIP HOORAY!
So I finally did it, I got my P504Si! Here's the link if ya'll are interested:
Docomo Follow the links to mobile phones, then select 504i series, and then choose the mova P504iS.
Well today was the final day of finals at school. I really didn't do too much cuz the tests today were: Social Studies, Japanese & PE/Industrial Sciences. However after the tests, we had a practice jishin (earthquake) drill. The funny thing about it was that as we waited to hear the announcement over the PA system, the teacher who was in charge, played a CD of earthquake/fire sounds before he gave the announcement to begin the drill. Very similar to back home when you get under your desks...the interesting thing is that the desks are so small...it barely provides any protection. Takahashi sensei, being the comedian that he is, held his towel to his mouth as if there really was a fire and commanding the students to be quiet and quick. As we proceeded outside to the field, we picked up the pace a bit. I stayed behind to make sure all the students made it. As the last student turned the corner before the field, he slipped a little bit and suddenly went horizontal! I wish I could've taken a picture of that moment.
Anyhow after eating a grubbin' bento, I took a little nap outside. The weather was great today! A whole better than yesterday. After my nap and chattin' w/Takahashi sensei, I decided to go play some ball. It was pretty frickin' hot inside the gym, so I became fatigued pretty easy also because I haven't played in over a week! We started off by playing 5 min games with 3 squads. After losing the first two games, I decided to take more of role. Had to show them that I wasn't too old!
After school, headed home, took a shower then made my way to Yakuendai eki...destination Shin Tsudanuma. The keitai place I went to is right next to JR Tsudanuma eki, based on the recommendation of my buddy, Ko. After fillin' out all the necessary paperwork, the workers (which I must say we're pretty darn cute!) told me to come back in ichi jikan gurai (about one hour, I guess they had to set everything up and make sure my service is connected, etc...). So I headed to the GAP and got some pretty good deals, saved about 65%! Upon pickin' up my keitai, I then headed home. While on the train, I realized that I forgot to pay for the phone. The girl just gave me my bag and said thank you! What I am supposed to do? I'm a foreigner! It's not my job to ask for money!!
As I made my way to Ikko, my keitai rang and it was the keitai shop calling me to come back sometime to pay! After getting off the phone with them, I saw that I had 4 missed calls! While on the train, I'm usually listening to my MP3 player so I wouldn't have heard the previous calls. Oh well....
At Ikko, I found out that I went through my 2nd bottle of sho chu! I can't believe it...it really hasn't been that long! I had my usual Yamakake and some saba. I thought I'd celebrate today since I DID get my keitai. Can you blame me??
Okay, I must reiterate the fact that I love Japanese TV. Right now, they're showing all interesting beaned batters this season and focusing on all their reactions. What's funny is that they dub in the what the players are saying with some pretty amusing phrases. For some reason...it's the foreign players that seem to get mad most of the time. There was this one pitcher that was covering home and got all mad and this one foreign player that made a play at the plate! What kind of crap is that? I think that if the pitcher wants to take the risk of covering home, he must be prepared for the consequences. After the collision, he even tried to kick the guy! Another play was with another foreign player named Rhodes that got hit, but was in good spirits and even smiled as he trotted to first. The next batter also got beaned and I guess something there was a little altercation, and out of nowhere, Rhodes comes in and totally blindsides the pitcher. The pitcher flew about 2 meters! (about 6 feet for you metrically challenged).
Well...I'm gonna call it a night...I think I'm going to Disney Sea tomorrow...but I think it's going to rain....oh well...
