Lucky Me (Not the Mami)



Last Christmas, through the generosity of the parents, I was handed down some money to buy myself a present. Specifically being told not to spend them on books or anything related to teaching, they made mention of a plane ticket. So after a few months of scouting for a plane ticket, I finally bought one for myself.

At the end of the school year, an envelope was given to me with a little something :) along with a card telling me to have a wonderful summer and a joyful trip to Japan. I know I was one lucky person and my gratitude to the parents of the children was just over flowing.

As I fly and explore the city of Tokyo today, I will remember the people behind this trip and will surely find time to put down the extra baggages of school related stress and meet new people. I always fly to new grounds and this time, I am fulfilling one of my dreams.

Hi cher Kat,

I finally met Sanrio, the products I mean. I am still debating whether to go to Puroland or not but maybe not. I will look for Gundam tomorrow as well as the Naruto museum for Fiel.

Thank you so much for the good words. Hope to see you before I head back to Thailand.

Hi Sepsep,

Dapat pala sumama ka dahil marunong ka palang mag Nihonggo. Semi- double naman yung bed, free na sana pero hindi ko kasi nabanggit before, he,he,he.

May translator sana ako at hindi ako parang pusang ligaw transferring from one train line to another.

Hi Fiel,

Yung bonsai post, Manila visit yun. Yung Lucky Me, Japan trip and today is my third day na. I still have to find the Naruto ones. Hindi ko makita kagaya ng nakita natin sa web. Mayroon, keychains. Hayaan mo balitaan kita kung mayroon, kung wala eh di sa ibang bansa ko na lang hahanapin but will surely look for them for you.
