Back to N (w/ FUTOTTERU SYNDROME COMPLEX)
I haven’t posted in a while – guess I haven’t had any “hima”暇 (free time) since getting back to my regular schedule in a rather unusual style. On top of all the getting back to routine BS, I had to re-experience public transportation after a very long time. Surprisinlgy, it was quite natural for me to hop on the bus and make it to work. I had, however, never had to take public transportation to work before. The rush-hour buses are so crowded, but somehow I always managed to get my over-sized gaijin ass through the door and squeeze my way into the giri-giri-safe zone before the “ドアが閉まります” アイズ(door closing). The bus time schedule was also a good incentive for me to get up out of bed on time. When I am driving I always manage to negotiate a couple extra minutes of sleep… but with the bus, I can’t. (>_<)
With the help of some very *uc*ing sugoii (ファッキング・スゴイ) people I was able to give Dave a proper haisha廃車(disposing of cars in Japan is a process that requires paper-work & money) and could lease an other car. It really helps to know people in high places. Now, thankfully, I can avoid the aroma of the morning bus （朝バスの香り） and get back to my normal (to me) abnormal lifestyle. The car I am leasing doesn’t have a name—but it is a red Civic 2-door wagon who’s life expectancy is 3 months more… He/she has got almost no shaken車検(car inspection in Japan is a very pricy process) left. Poor thing!
My first day back at work was when the darn accident happened—and I have been back to JB every day since. I have also gone to Kumon once & have finally gone back to Konami. On Friday we had a field trip to the Early-Childhood（保育大） University and the children did their play again. They are so--------------- cute, clever, and stressed-out. After the play teachers went back to JB and had a meeting at an organic restaurant… I had my most dreaded lesson with “the mute” and then went to Konami after a lo-------ng break.
Friday I did both step and master’s Pump back to back. Yamamoto played tracks from 2 & 3 years ago… it was so-------------------- natsukasii懐かしい(nostalgic) that I started crying during the chest track (Push-up). Lots of memories of when I was shiawase幸せ (content)!!! Luckily we lie down for the chest-press and no one noticed I was crying like a baby… Booo hooooo…. I finally composed myself and made it through the end of class OK… but when I got on the scale later, I wanted to cry again. Oh my God! I guess I must have over-done it with the nenmatsu年末 (EOY) partying. My weight is outrageous… 泣きたい（＞＿＜）NAKITAI!!!!!!!! Quite depressing. Fat with no car?!?! I am KAWAISOU. I can say that again. I am KAWAISOU… 繰り返します… KAWAISOU yo! Ok… Oshimai. （おしまい）Anyway, I peeped at the track listing for BP60 and can't wait for INVINCIBLE to come out! I really need to get back in shape. (>_<) Daisuke and I were commenting on a new trend of diagnosing people with "Metabolic Syndrome" in Japan. Basically, if you have a big belly, disproprtionate to the rest of your body, you are unhealthy and at high risk. Hahah! DOH?!?! Did you really need research to prove that? Anyway... I am suffering from a terrible case of FUTOTTERU SYNDROME.
But enough complaining... Tonight I went out. Yatta! Sumire from Fukuoka that I met on KC and her friend Jimmy from Wisconsin who is doing exchange studies at Kansai-Gaidai in Oosaka came to Kumamoto to visit Chie, a lady in Kumamoto who runs a Japanese-style Inn (月華荘) called Gekkasou. We all met up for conveyer-belt sushi dinner at Youme town and then went to my salsa class together. It was really fun hanging out with them. After class I went to Shark Attack (atarimaejyanai?) 当たり前ジャン！and met a lot of interesting people. Then, I just couldn’t help going to Tapas! Of course, I wanted to dance, but also I had made a promise with Sumire and her friends. There were very few people at Tapas, but most were pretty good dancers. A group of Latinos who are doing some research at the hospital here also showed up… \(^_^)/♪♪盛り上がってたね。♪
Before tapas closed I went to go say hi to Yi at Shark and ran into Matsu, Yasu & Mirei! I got talked into giving up my FUTOTTERU SYNDROME COMPLEX (the psychological effects of having a big belly) and headed out for Kumamoto Ramen. (>_<) YABAI!!! But at least I kept my promise not to drink. I had a total of 4 oolong-cha-cha-chas and 2 caffeine on the rocks the whole night... so, at least I won't be hung over... It is 5:44… 早起きね. Better get some zzzzzzzzz’s. ¶ domingo, enero 14, 2007
