Wow, today I was SOOOOO tired … late for school again of course~. More students came to our class this morning and they seem pretty decent, ok nice~. One of them was just sitting in the classroom to have a “trial” lesson, so do not know if he would come back to our class or not. Hope he would, cause he seem pretty nice.

Anyhow, I was all exhausted because yesterday night I spent HOURS calculating the expenses in Japan, from Feb-Mar. It was quite, to put it bluntly, bloody. And can be sort of complicated cause there are some expenses that have receipts and some do not, some were paid by credit card and some do not … what a mess.

To calculate exactly how much I spent on Misc, Food, … is quite impossible. But I do have the estimated amount, wow … -_-
Anyway, back to the main topic, today, with my extremely exhausted mind, I went to open my FIRST bank account in JAPAN. It was somewhat exciting due to the fact that my Japanese is just “TOO great”.

I finally have the urge to get this going despite the trouble that probably an outsider cannot (or do not want to) comprehend is because Oakhouse is having this “Premier Membership” thing going on, and I am doing all this to save a few. -_- My money is “scarce”, so hope it will all be transferred safely and so I can continue my safe living in Japan.

Despite my extremely poor Japanese skills, (esp. my grammar, wow, it is hard to find anyone that can beat me on this) the account seemed to be opened safely. And to my surprises, I seemed to understand a little more than I expected. Everything that the kind bank lady said made so much sense. It was a very nice experience. Just love how polite and sincere she is, and her patience.

I seriously feel very good to have done this by myself. Even though it is such a tiny thing, the satisfaction is high. It was EXCITING. Because it is a completely different language, a language that I have never thought, in my wildest dream, that I can study till now. The whole thing is a little late, but I guess LATE is better than NEVER. Thank You LORD.

My first movie in Japan — Keroro ~.

Haha. Never thought it would be like this. That is the power of POSTER. I saw Keroro’s movie poster just about everywhere. And the place that they put which really got my attention is at the very station that I get in and out every day — 中村橋. Crying out loud I have never even seen Keroro’s animation or manga once! HAHAHA.

Saturday night I went to see my friends at Coffee House and I showed them the Keroro’s flash, which I had downloaded from Keroro’s website, on my cell. I also showed them the Keroro pamphlet which describes how to get Keroro’s goods from riding trains (of Seibu Ikebukuro) and stopping by at different stations to get stamped (Just another reason why I love Japan, isn’t that cute? Making the kids ride the train, hahaha!!)

I pointed to one of the goods on the pamphlet and asked one of my Japanese friends how to get it (since my Japanese not good), and she looked at me with a gentle smile and a polite disbelief look and asked, in English, “YOU WANT THIS???!!!”

HAHAHAHA!!!! Funny!

Ok, maybe not funny to you. ^^

OK, I woke up sooooo late today cause these days it just has been CRAZY! ぜんぜん自分の時間がないんです！It has been going on for just WAY too long. Before, it was because I barely had my space at home so I had to go out all the time, right? Now, after like months, I finally have space of my own. I feel soooo blessed, I really do. I cannot believe the comfort of it again. In US, it is so easy for me to have this “comfort”, because over there the space is vast, and it has always been my comfort zone. But in Japan, I really never even dreamed of being very comfortable here. It feels like such a luxury for a foreigner that has no income. Haha.

And today, except I had gone to Shibuya to do some volunteer work, I got to see 夜桜 with my lovely friend! She is awesome. I like her soooo much >.<! SOOOOOOO pretty those sakura, even at night. Wow~. I was so mad at myself not having enough energy to go see the “cherry blossom” that Oakhouse was holding at 1pm, gosh I don’t even remember that station’s name … however, the night time one can definitely compensate the loss to a certain extent~. ^^
