took waaaaay too long!

I think it is starting. A routine in my life is developing here and every little detail of life is becoming a little less novel to the point where I have lost the urgency to report every experience. I do not want to bore anyone, nor do I want to go on needlessly repeating myself. Nonetheless I have also been a little lazy in getting back “into the swing of things” since my break. I actually really messed up my sleep pattern for a bit, but it is more or less back to normal now. Life has been good over the last week, even though it has been a bit busy.

Last weekend I found myself in Tokyo; not once, but twice again lol. On Friday, I went to Akihabara to see what it was about and then went clubbing by myself in Shibuya. Akihabara really is the computer nerd and anime fanatic center of Japan. There were shops with that kind of merchandise EVERYWHERE. Good thing I am no computer nerd or Anime geek, I totally would have dropped too much cash on that exploration. Though I will be going back if I am ever to have any electronic needs =P.

The clubbing was fun. I got into this fun place called “Club Atom” at around 1145 and didn't leave until they closed at five in the morning. I made some nightlong friends with a group of Japanese folks and just danced the night away with them in the Hip hop/RB room. The played nothing but American music and about 85 percent of the music was stuff I really liked. No real report bout girls that night though. You know how lame I can be hehe. I will be hitting that club again for sure!

Sunday, I met up with some friends in Shinjuku and we had an awesome lunch. It was a place where we made our own food again. I have found that I really enjoy places like that. We then headed over to Harajuku to check out the Meiji Jingu Shrine. As usual, it was quite beautiful and a very peaceful place to be regardless of the noisy foreigners that were there -_- After that we did Karaoke for three hours in Shibuya. It was a blast! We just kept going and ended up having another lunch there in the room we were singing in. I have been trying to learn songs in Japanese so I can do them at Karaoke and apparently the practice paid off a tiny bit. I tried a song in Japanese and my friends seemed to have been really surprised at how well I sang it. They said I didn't even have an accent. Crazy. That was a good time. We then went to TGIF and I finally got my giant American style margarita. It tasted just like home and every sip felt like a vacation. Actually, the TGIFs here look exactly the same as those in the US and the Menus are completely in English. I totally felt like I was back in America at that place.

On Monday I slept in and cleaned the apartment till I went rock climbing with my homie in the evening. It was also a good time and an interesting continuous conversation. We had lots of interesting things to discuss. As for the workweek, it was a good one with no outstanding news I can remember, but that is probably cause I have taken so long to write this. As usual the workweek is one big compilation of small happy moments with students and co-workers that doesn't really leave the office and is too much to report in detail.

Geh, I need to stop being lazy and do this daily. The break really threw into a lazy bout last week 0_0

This weekend was good even though it started a little late. I ended up having to work on Sunday, but it was a good time and no bother at all. I got to teach two special classes. One on business English and the other on “American music.” I actually did enjoy myself. After classes, I hung out with my manager and one of the students for a while and chatted it up at Mister Doughnuts. It was fun. Then I once again took myself to club atom and danced the night away. A good time like the others ^_^ I made more friends and this time I have even kept touch with them after the club.

Today was nothing special as I slept most the day away, did the laundry, and cleaned. Though short, it was a good weekend and from here on, I don't want to fall back on my updating anymore. NO MORE EXCUSES!
