the past 2 weeks...
sorry for the lack of updates lately, it's been quite busy here. with friends visitin' and many other things goin' on, there's really only time for me to check email (which is quite rarely) and update my fantasy sports teams. it seems like my blog has taken 3rd on the list of priorities. other than that, i really need to catch up on some sleep. i really have no urge to pull an all-nighter again anytime soon. and now the update...
durin' my school's farewell party's nijikai, my digicam broke!?! the lens doesn't fully extend nor fully collapse. i kno for sure that i didn't drop it or anything. now, i need to get it fixed. luckily i have my new ketai that takes decent pics but i think i still need to get my cam fixed.
friends came in on the fri, but headed straight to osaka. it's efan's first time in japan and everyone else's second. somehow i got stuck with tony which is fine, and brandon which is fine also. but havin' them together is a struggle. it's yin & yang, night & day, east & west...get the point? also, finally got a chance to meet and kick it with zion i. they some really koo folks.
as for the show, it was off da hook. i haven't seen them perform live since the deep water slang release party @ slims so you can imagine how much i appreciated this event. got to hear the scojourners for the first time, too. it was kinda weird to see toby, cuz i haven't seen that guy probably since jhs. zion i as usual did not disappoint. they did some new tracks and some old tracks as well. steve gave a shout out to tony and buddhapparel and deuce gave one to q. i also was feelin' how they changed some tracks like silly puddy.
since i started school the next day, i came home from 'buya, showered and changed and was off to the openin' ceremony of my new school. i saw a lot of familiar faces which made it easier for me. even met a teacher who knows my father!?! my desk is with the 3rd year teachers. it's interestin', cuz i started off sittin' with the 1st year teachers for my first year, sat with the 2nd year teachers durin' my second year and now this. the first thing that i noticed was that the school is huge. just walkin' to the gym from the teachers' room was a trek. then, seein' all the 2nd & 3rd year students in the gym at once is more than my last school with all 3 years combined!?! the 1st year students weren't even there yet! the students are pretty out of control too. much to the words of pretty much all the teachers i consulted with.
another thing that was surprisin' to see was that there are a lot of young teachers. this school also has a bball team!!! they even have a boys vball team! it's gonna take some time to remember all the teachers' names. i wonder how long it'll be for the close to 600 students | ('.') |
and another very, very important thing is that they have a western style toilet! goin' one whole year without wasn't too bad. i probably could do without one but it's always peaceful to know that you have it, just in case.
so i got a call from my boss @ city hall. askin' me if he wanted me to go the welcome party for all the new people who started @ the board of education. the thing is tonite!? not that i can go or anything, but tellin' me the day of, well...it's a little short notice, no?
another thing that i found out was that one of my new students will be starrin in the newest kinpachi sensei drama. now i'm gonna have 2 students who appeared in the same show but at different times. it's kinda trippy if they become big.
headed out to shinjuku to meet up with: cal, eric & brandon. went to yu's event and then i bounced out early to head to b's. the next day was the big annual hanami (flower viewin'). when we got there, there were many spotters all asleep. luckily rick grabbed the bench. first guest was jt, who brought some mcdonalds with him. then it was eugene & satomi. slowly, more people came and by probably 1600, we had at least 40 ppl.
the most memorable things of the day:
- havin' front row seats to a big argument (almost turned into a fight) over hanami mats between a foreigner and some japanese guys.
- the park police regulatin' on ropes ppl put up to save space.
- bein' able to play around with my 2 nephews
- havin' it "rain" cherry blossom flowers
- the interesting "conversation" with rie
- the 6 or 7 times that i walked from our spot to the front to pick up people
- some guy who took off all of his clothes in the group near ours. WTF!?!
- the 100 or so ppl waitin' in line to use the restroom
after meetin' up with the guys, we headed to shibuya to meet up with kaoru & aki to get something to eat. then we met up with the rest of da crew and went to this one hip hop bar while the others went to go eat something. then we headed over to the club. it was crazy to see: nori & nobu, sachi, ryoko, setocchi and other peeps who i haven't seen in a minute. the show was delayed a bit but they rocked da house. unfortunately, the stage was pretty tiny, so they really couldn't move around as much as @ eggman, but they did the best with what they had. came home, had some mcdonalds and then crashed out.
took da guys to the airport and had a slight glitch in the schedule, but all in all, they were able to get onto their flight. reuben however, had his flight delayed from 1800 to 2100, so b and i stayed there with him & got something to eat. came home, cleaned up a bit and then cal and ben came to my pad to crash, after stayin' for a week @ ken's. they're here til thursday.
so there was 2 earthquakes today. one in da mornin', which really surprised cal & ben and one in the afternoon which they didn't feel.
