Eventful Monday

(click on the title first)

i was one of the 72, 000 passengers who they say were inconvenienced.

para sa amin ni raneil na nag-co-commute for work ay hindi lang inconvenience ang naidulot ng mamang iyun. nakabayad pa kami ng extra na 230 yen each. pinababa kasi kami sa aming sinakyang train and pinalipat sa subway. so bumili pa kami ng subway ticket that costs more than the local JR train. ug sa dihang nakapalit na mi, na-obserbahan ba naman namin na pumipila ang mga kasama naming mga pasaherong hapon para kumuha ng special na subway pass???!!! nakakainis... we were really lost in translation.. heheh... next time, it pays to think and observe first.

nang dumating kami sa office ay almost one hour late na kami. Kinuwento namin sa aming boss ang nangyari at sinabihan kami na pwede pa daw ipa-refund yun sa station master. hahay... oo nga naman ano? kaya ko naman i-communicate in nihongo na nagkamali ako at hihingi ako ng refund. tsk. tsk. tsk. kelangan talagang gamitin ang utak next time... para wala ng unnecessary expenses...

pero ang problemang ito ay napakaliit lang siguro kumpara dun sa taong lumipad at nagpatama sa train. bakit naman ganun na lang ginawa niya? mahirap na bang maghanap ng rason para mabuhay?

for me, eto ha, theory ko lang 'to and finally i'm putting this into writing. if you would just expose and share yourself to the world, and let other people into your life, letting them grow with you and you with them, you would have plenty of reasons to live.

i always share this one with my circle of friends. (err, nabibingi na siguro sila kasi paulit-ulit ako...) pero meron pa rin nahihirapan. ang sinasabi ay mahirap daw mag-reach out. but for me ha (again...), kung tutuusin kasi, we are all the same. we all have an innate longing for companionship, of belongingness. kasi nobody of us is sure of everything. even legends would say that after all that they have achieved, they are sure of only one thing: that life is too short. errr, i already learned that one in kindergarten... (ngeee, wala ko nag kindergarten uy... i just wanna use that line.. heheh )

tama na yang ka-seryosohan, bcoz today(July 3) is also the birthday of Joan!!! happy birthday jon... nabasa mo na lahat ng message greetings ko.. at masyado nang eng-eng ang entry na 'to... heheh

ciao ciao
