ew/awesome!

japan

there something about this country that makes ur english really really bad really really quickly. not that my english was awesome to start with. but anyways the other day michi was like “what does TGIF stand for again? this good its friday…?” Me* “Considering that its an American acronym … that doesnt seem very appropriate… hahaha”

the office

i love/hate when people come back from trips to the office and leave food on their desks for everyone to eat. i find out via the office-wide emails they send out. sucks that when im feeling hungry but too cheap to buy a snack, i can only drool over the food from a distance. i don’t wanna be that guy who comes over and take/gobbles up the food unannounced. also, sometimes its people who aren’t in my division which means i really don’t know them. plus that means i have to make small talk which is the worst. can’t people put the food in a more centralized and not so awkward place? like the coffee room?

ps. in japan, or maybe just my office, there’s no water cooler. we have a cool looking machine that dispenses water, ice or water + ice. ill take a pic next time

9:41PM

i successfully completed all 5 seasons of THE WIRE spread out over two countries, one airplane, and 3 cities. this is a glorious day for mankind.

an intern i met

me: that’s so shallow man!
him: that’s what she said!!!
me: what the,… (inside my head)
him: i’m so good at this man. you don’t even know. me and my friends, this is all we do. i can go on for hours.

please never ever abuse the sanctity of funny phrases

working

now i know what the true meaning of TGIF is.

being asian america in asia

two tourists in tokyo and i

“what no! i told u we’re lost!!….”
“..let’s ask taht guy over there….”
“wait no i asked last time you ask this time..”
“fine…”

“um… hi .. hello? we …”
“i speak english…”
“oh thank god!”

and then i proceed to give them directions and as they thank me and are about to leave one goes “your English is excellent!”

in retrospect, i shouldn’t told them i speak english. ahah i should have let it play out and messed with their heads.
