Why do (some) men wink at (some) women?? 
picture galore and um, something weird.
lets start with something weird. RHEA! here it is! because you asked (nicely).. haha. if the drawing is disappointing. i'm really sorry but i have no power over my psychedelic imagination. but, i hope you like it to some itsy bitsy degree. you can name it whatever you want. just click the picture and it will redirect you to the larger version of this splendid artwork. hehehe. enjoy! 
now, the galore part....
'er y' go.. a glimpse of the barracks at work.
exhibit A: thirsty? the doodle on the door says "staff lounge"

exhibit B: THE magic books of learning. the clutter on the table is not mine. hehe.

the next few pictures are proofs of my very much alive social life. no. i'm not defensive. you think?

MONJAYAKI time!! the preceding word seems like a nice name for your pet, but think twice because it refers to the Japanese watery pancake you see in the picture. the dude preparing it looked like a very young-to-retire rocker (who knows?) and the other guy, well, is a new found acquiantance. he cooked monjayaki for me. awwww. hush!
next...
gong!! sushi time. we like it raw...

these nice little mouthfuls sitting on cute plates were all lined up and... here's the thrill... on a revolving counter. how cool is that?! when i came face to face with these jewels of appetite, i just stared at them for like a minute and sighed "pretty" instead of "hungry." i can never choose a star amongst the galaxy. huh?

you get what i mean, now??
next.... the Train MAP.

have i mentioned that getting lost in tokyo is freakin' nasty? well, let the map speak for itself.
more pictures to come!! um, no sorry with no men in them.
cheers!
uh-oh.
i am not going to date (anyone)
well, it is best to admit it to myself and stop pretending that i am seriously attracted to anyone in particular right now. because, the annoying truth is, i'm not. yeah, i blush when i see mr. charming and melt when he talks to me honestly (his eyes give him away). sure, the thought of *ehem* liking me is quite flattering and unnerving if i make a big deal out of it. and oh, yeah, how can i ever forget about my "declaration of ---" i'm not sure what it was, but i was probably hallucinating when i elected what i felt as the "it" feeling.
it's sad. just a month ago i saw the awakening of a genuine fondness for someone but it got nipped in the bud by reason. hastily i blew out the sparks which might set it aflame and then i hid behind regret nonchalantly. looking back, it appears not a big a deal after all, although i wouldn't really know now would i? (stupid coward).
so, i'm doing the Josh Harris, 'I kissed dating goodbye' thingie... (and of course, he got married). i know i'd be a lousy date. still scarred and scared. i am not ready but i hope someday i will be.
please, spare me the snigger.
yet.

on a different note..
failure to understand the beauty of this simple saying "ask and you shall receive" can create unexpected stains (i cant think of a better word at the moment) to one's relationship. why is it so hard to ask nicely and spare the person from dwelling on debilitating guilt? what kind of pleasure does one get from making someone feel bad about themselves?
for example, statement A: "Please make sure everything's in place before leaving the room. This will save us time when we open tomorrow." as opposed to: statement B: "Please make sure everything's in place before leaving the room. You dont want to cram around tomorrow, right?"
point taken?
maybe, some people dont do what they have to do because they didnt know they have to (that make sense? im not even gonna try to rephrase that) . its either they are not seeing things your way and need to be informed outright or they are just forgetful, lacking sleep/rest or mentally challenged.
i hate ranting. i hate it. . .
stay afloat.

say, walk with me?
i dreamt of christian bautista.... again.
too abstract my dear ole brain 
Technicolor afterthoughts
can't breathe...
seriously, there are so many rules to follow at work and they come in different forms; the method we are expected to implement during lesson time, the dress code, the general policy, the work etiquette etc...
i am not complaining though. its just that i've never been good at following rules and for some strange reason, i make my own set of these and break them too nonetheless. selfish. critical mind at work for the wrong reasons.
========
not enough strength.
to smile and appreciate my boss and co-workers praises.
to talk to my family, even with my sister whom i am staying with.
to cry.
to feel.
to thank God out loud or in silence.
========
at the end of the day, or start of the new day ( i get home around 12mn sometimes). i'm just to jaded to welcome it with genuine anticipation. the goal had been met. i need fresh ones to explore and conquer. perhaps i dont have to look too far.
