<![CDATA[ What a wonderful week.....end! I have a tough week, but a pretty nice enjoyable WEEKEND!!!<br>I ve met two new friends, no THREE... including my new HK friend's 12yrs old sister..<br><br>I met this HK guy last week online.... we chat online at first and then he said he knows a place where we can make more friends... so i said yes i would like to join. and that's how we (actually) meet each for the first time...<br><br>We went to that...... kind of language exchange gathering held by YWCA at Ochanomizu.... well thats a lot of ppl there.... Japanese... Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese etc... meeting and chatting with new people was so FUN....<br><br>Although the Japanese I ve met were 40's and over, but i will call it a good start...<br><br>There was a pretty Korean girl there who ve been here (Japan) for 6 months... who is so similar to me... coz we both find it so hard to make new friends in Japan especially at the work place while workmates dont really hang out after work... I m so proud of myself yesterday, coz i ve done something for the first time in my life....<br><br>which is asking a girl for contact and asking her out after that... You might think it is not something special but to me.... it is an remarable experience... heheh..... I am doing good eh??<br><br>After the gathering, my new hk friend, his sis and me, we all walk to Akiba for window shopping and indian curry...<br>I had Butter Chicken as usual... but it doesnt taste as good as the Butter Chicken in Parnell, Auckland....<br>The butter chicken there is absolutely the BEST that I ve ever had....<br><br>Well....my hk friend is a nice guy, quite talkative, funny.... but i wish he could self behave more in Japan as a foreigner....  overall, he s good guy...<br><br>Today, i went to Shinjuku with that pretty Korean girl, we had lunch.... and had a drink @ Muji, did quite some talk.... I dont know whether she likes my topics or not...but I ve done my best today, coz.... I m not talkative at all..... I DONT TALK, I LISTEN.... but anyway, today was great.... finally she left me for another friend, so...I walked in Shinjuku alone....<br><div><a href="http://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/c7/ce/10092623222.jpg"><img height="165" border="0" width="220" alt="月見＠新宿2" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/c7/ce/10092623222_s.jpg"></a></div><br><a href="http://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/f4/c1/10092622002.jpg"><img height="293" border="0" width="220" alt="月見＠新宿" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/f4/c1/10092622002_s.jpg"></a><br>

<description>
<![CDATA[ As you can see I m getting lazy updating my blog recently... I used to update it everyday, and recently I only update it once a week... I have reasons for that, but it just sounds like an excuse anyway....<br><br>monday to friday, busy as usual.... i started piling my unfinished works....i know its not right, but somehow i just continued doing it.... hope i can correct this bad habits from tomorrow...<br><br>The main reason to make me busy is that shacho is starting new things recently, bringing more workloads to us, espeically to me, coz no one could do my work except me....<br>Well.... in a matter of fact, letting us busy is somehow a good thing, but TOO BUSY isnt good for sure....<br>I started being sick of working late till 9 or 10 at night....<br>I started worrying my health and of course my mental health as well...<br><br>thats y i went to beach with my ex on SAT, that was awesome....<br>there were less people on the beach....<br>driving on highway was great (especially speeding hahaha... ).... <br>its tough but i still like driving...<br><br>wish me luck in the coming week!!!<br>

Thunders, lightning almost every night.<br>While the weather has gone wild/crazy, my life has gone crazy/weird too....<br><br>3 hours of sleep within 48 hours, tons of workload, late to work (very first time)...etc...<br><br>I need a change, take a good care of myself, revise the meaning of "management" again...<br>Otherwise I will gone crazy I m sure, I can feel that my head is like a bomb now. and this bomb is going to explode very soon.... I dont know when, but if I just leave it and dont do anything about it, I dont know what will happens when it really explodes. Sounds scary....<br><br>Thats why I am looking for friends now.... finding some ways to change my daily life....<br>Hope everything will go well...<br><br>I dont care about love, I dont care about money, I just want to do my best while I am in my office and have a good relaxing time after work.... thats it... it doesnt sound too much isnt it?<br><br>Ganbarou!!!<br>

<title>17th August 2008 Wed (Rain like hell)</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ Yesterday 16th August, I went to Shinjuku to deliver the voucher to Mr.Shumid.<br>He is kind of funny and Julie was sweet.<br><br>I went for interior shopping, nothing interesting.<br><br>Today, I went to Ikebukuro for interior again.<br>I ve made up a list of what I have to buy. It gonna cost me at least 47500!!!<br>Oh my god, when can I get room done???<br><br>Before I went out, I have found the best article on earth, here it is:<br>(Copied from http://zenhabits.net/2007/05/10-benefits-of-rising-early-and-how-to-do-it/)<br><br>Recently, reader Rob asked me about my habit of waking at 4:30 a.m. each day, and asked me to write about the health benefits of rising early, which I thought was an excellent question. Unfortunately, there are none, that I know of.<br><br>However, there are a ton of other great benefits.<br><br>Now, let me first say that if you are a night owl, and that works for you, I think that’s great. There’s no reason to change, especially if you’re happy with it. But for me, switching from being a night owl to an early riser (and yes, it is possible) has been a godsend. It has helped me in so many ways that I’d never go back. Here are just a few:<br><br>   1. Greet the day. I love being able to get up, and greet a wonderful new day. I suggest creating a morning ritual that includes saying thanks for your blessings. I’m inspired by the Dalai Lama, who said, ” Everyday, think as you wake up, ‘today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.’ “<br>   2. Amazing start. I used to start my day by jumping out of bed, late as usual, and rushing to get myself and the kids ready, and rushing to drop them to school and come in to work late. I would walk into work, looking rumpled and barely awake, grumpy and behind everyone else. Not a great start to your day. Now, I have a renewing morning ritual, I’ve gotten so much done before 8 a.m., my kids are early and so am I, and by the time everyone else gets in to work, I’ve already gotten a head start. There is no better way to start off your day than to wake early, in my experience.<br>   3. Quietude. No kids yelling, no babies crying, no soccer balls, no cars, no television noise. The early morning hours are so peaceful, so quiet. It’s my favorite time of day. I truly enjoy that time of peace, that time to myself, when I can think, when I can read, when I can breathe.<br>   4. Sunrise. People who wake late miss one of the greatest feats of nature, repeated in full stereovision each and every day — the rise of the sun. I love how the day slowly gets brighter, when the midnight blue turns to lighter blue, when the brilliant colors start to seep into the sky, when nature is painted in incredible colors. I like doing my early morning run during this time, and I look up at the sky as I run and say to the world, “What a glorious day!” Really. I really do that. Corny, I know.<br>   5. Breakfast. Rise early and you actually have time for breakfast. I’m told it’s one of the most important meals of the day. Without breakfast, your body is running on fumes until you are so hungry at lunchtime that you eat whatever unhealthy thing you can find. The fattier and sugarier, the betterier. But eat breakfast, and you are sated until later. Plus, eating breakfast while reading my book and drinking my coffee in the quiet of the morning is eminently more enjoyable than scarfing something down on the way to work, or at your desk.<br>   6. Exercise. There are other times to exercise besides the early morning, of course, but I’ve found that while exercising right after work is also very enjoyable, it’s also liable to be canceled because of other things that come up. Morning exercise is virtually never canceled.<br>   7. Productivity. Mornings, for me at least, are the most productive time of day. I like to do some writing in the morning, when there are no distractions, before I check my email or blog stats. I get so much more done by starting on my work in the morning. Then, when evening rolls around, I have no work that I need to do, and I can spend it with family.<br>   8. Goal time. Got goals? Well, you should. And there’s no better time to review them and plan for them and do your goal tasks than first thing. You should have one goal that you want to accomplish this week. And every morning, you should decide what one thing you can do today to move yourself further towards that goal. And then, if possible, do that first thing in the morning.<br>   9. Commute. No one likes rush-hour traffic, except for Big Oil. Commute early, and the traffic is much lighter, and you get to work faster, and thus save yourself more time. Or better yet, commute by bike. (Or even better yet, work from home.)<br>  10. Appointments. It’s much easier to make those early appointments on time if you get up early. Showing up late for those appointments is a bad signal to the person you’re meeting. Showing up early will impress them. Plus, you get time to prepare.<br><br>How to Become an Early Riser<br><br>    * Don’t make drastic changes. Start slowly, by waking just 15-30 minutes earlier than usual. Get used to this for a few days. Then cut back another 15 minutes. Do this gradually until you get to your goal time.<br>    * Allow yourself to sleep earlier. You might be used to staying up late, perhaps watching TV or surfing the Internet. But if you continue this habit, while trying to get up earlier, sooner or later one is going to give. And if it is the early rising that gives, then you will crash and sleep late and have to start over. I suggest going to bed earlier, even if you don’t think you’ll sleep, and read while in bed. If you’re really tired, you just might fall asleep much sooner than you think.<br>    * Put your alarm clock far from you bed. If it’s right next to your bed, you’ll shut it off or hit snooze. Never hit snooze. If it’s far from your bed, you have to get up out of bed to shut it off. By then, you’re up. Now you just have to stay up.<br>    * Go out of the bedroom as soon as you shut off the alarm. Don’t allow yourself to rationalize going back to bed. Just force yourself to go out of the room. My habit is to stumble into the bathroom and go pee. By the time I’ve done that, and flushed the toilet and washed my hands and looked at my ugly mug in the mirror, I’m awake enough to face the day.<br>    * Do not rationalize. If you allow your brain to talk you out of getting up early, you’ll never do it. Don’t make getting back in bed an option.<br>    * Have a good reason. Set something to do early in the morning that’s important. This reason will motivate you to get up. I like to write in the morning, so that’s my reason. Also, when I’m done with that, I like to read all of your comments!<br>    * Make waking up early a reward. Yes, it might seem at first that you’re forcing yourself to do something hard, but if you make it pleasurable, soon you will look forward to waking up early. A good reward is to make a hot cup of coffee or tea and read a book. Other rewards might be a tasty treat for breakfast (smoothies! yum!) or watching the sunrise, or meditating. Find something that’s pleasurable for you, and allow yourself to do it as part of your morning routine.<br>    * Take advantage of all that extra time. Don’t wake up an hour or two early just to read your blogs, unless that’s a major goal of yours. Don’t wake up early and waste that extra time. Get a jump start on your day! I like to use that time to get a head start on preparing my kids’ lunches, on planning for the rest of the day (when I set my MITs), on exercising or meditating, and on reading. By the time 6:30 rolls around, I’ve done more than many people do the entire day.<br><br>

<![CDATA[ I had a great day, thanks to Chan Un Hi (I might spell his name wrong, pls forgive me) - he is a new friend of mine who i met him a few months ago. He brought a couple of Korean classmates along to the Tokyo Bay Fireworks (event) . Although the place where we sat is totally crap (you will understand what i mean crap by taking a look at the photos. But it definitely saved me from loneliness. Moreover his classmate, Lee has brought along her beautiful gorgeous best friend with her who just arrive Tokyo in a few hours before.<br><br><br><a target="_blank" href="http://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/bf/1d/10083608990.jpg"><img border="0" alt="Our location" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/bf/1d/10083608990_s.jpg"></a><br><br><br>At first I thought she could understand what our conversation was talking about coz all I ve spoke was Japanese, but later on I realized that she doesnt know a word of Japanese at all, so we started our English conversation while we were having dinner. <br><br>She is a very nice, cute, beautiful, gorgeous, young lady who love to travel around the world, and taking beautiful pictures with her super digital camera (Canon EOS, manual focus), also interested in classical music... which just turned me on. I should not use the word "turned me on", coz it sounds a bit "cheap" and "dirty" but she is just an angel in my heart. I am just so scare of losing her image, memories of her in my mind, but come to think about it,<br>there is nothing I could do except "giving up". Coz we come from different countries, we speak totally different languages, and there is nothing I could do to make our distance a bit closer. But I must thanks GOD that "meeting her" is the best gift this year!!! especially while I ve spent my first birthday alone (alone means totally alone)....<br><br>What a good day, keep up the good work Antonio!!! Ashita mata GANBARO!!!<br>
