Blogger’s Note
I started blogging circa 2004. Apart from my slightly poor grammar skills then, my mind was very different at the time. And this cringy writing style went on for about 5ish more years. I threw away majority of my previous journal entries out of shame 😆 . But some made it to the cut, like this one, just something to laugh at or roll eyes with.
I have been enjoying life too much that I must have left these behind:
1. Blog Migration. Sorry I’ve been talking too much about this blog migration thingy. As you may have noticed, I’m now giving attention to it! I believe if I had not been procrastinating for 2 weeks, then it will all be done today. But I haven’t totally ignored my blog, and my site as a whole. Because I found this new “fency” design, and I so like it. 🙂
2. SCWCD. I am not taking this exam because I wanted to be a full-fledged geek. It’s for the advancement of my career, just like the other exams I took. And well, I don’t want to sound nerdy, but I do like this technology, and studying in particular. I may not have desires to become the next James Gosling, or Kathy Sierra or Bert Bates (and all other cool geeks we love to worship), but I do want to become a full-fledged, full-powered, multi-faceted Java Goddess! And that’s all that matters to me – the “goddess” suffix.
3. Nihongo. Ahh, even this? Well obviously I didn’t push through with the Nihongo class near my station. Not that I’m bragging, but I feel that it’s too beginner for me — Ho! Hold on! typhoon’s coming!! Haha! No, I’m not really good at it still. And I admit I need a class to practice because everytime I’m in the office or conversing with my Japanese colleagues, I feel like a beginner, or a toddler per se. I want to attend in a class again. As in the everyday classes, just like what I had in Okinawa because I really enjoyed that one. And for a short time, my Nihongo improved! I just felt it. 😉 But with the price rates here in Tokyo, everyday class is impossible. I want to enroll. I hope some one generous and uber fantastic will fall down from heaven and sponsor my tuition fee. 😀 Being a student once again just entices me so I quite excelled most of the time (hay. I know I haven’t earned any bragging rights for Nihongo yet but please let it pass for now 😉 ). Even a conversation practice with the taxi drivers won’t help because taxis are expensive too!
3. Cooking. Being a kitchen goddess is also my ambition. Still with the “goddess”-suffix addiction.
As for the work, of course I’m still a superwoman. I wouldn’t leave that behind ever because that’s the reason why I’m here. And the band, I feel so excited about it because the live date will be next week! More on that on my next post.
I have these reasons to stay at home and bum around: 1) Swine Flu; 2) Short-term targets; and most importantly, 3) Moolah!
And this song has been playing on my mind when I realized that I’m broke. Sing along with me, to the tune of Hand in my Pocket. But I modified the lyrics to exercise my mind… I hope Alanis will forgive me.
I’m broke but I party
I know it’s unwise
Doesn’t pay to be creyy-zy, yeah!
I sigh but I’m breathless
I sleep but still overwhelmed
I’m lost but I’m hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be fine fine fine
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is looking for my mind!
I’m drunk then I’m senseless
I doubt but I overstayed
I’m tired but I’m jumping, yeah!
I dare but I’m useless
I play but I’m incompetent
I’m wrong and I’m sorry baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be quite alright
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is aiming for a glass of wine
What it all comes down to
Is that I haven’t got it all figured out just yet
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I whine but I’m focused
I’m green and I’m still the same 😉
I’m shy and it’s freaky baby!
My song turns obnoxious
I’m game but I’m out of rhymes
I think but I’m failing baby
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one’s head-poking for more rhymes!
What it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything’s just fine fine fine
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one still looking for my mind! 😉
